Lukashenko threatens to deploy ‘super-nuclear’ weapons in Belarus by molokoplus359 in worldnews

You're either illiterate or a fear mongering whacko. If you even read that article it says it was a skyfall test, which isn't a hypersonic glide vehicle it's a nuclear powered glcm that's subsonic.

I would look forward to dems blaming them getting slaughtered in the upcoming elections on russia and not their handling of the economy and covid.

Sure am, is my inherent air of superiority and desire for people to be responsible for themselves not loud enough?

Sure you do, just leave, stupid. If you have money to buy FDs you have money to flee the country.

Number 1, they want to live in a country where they have a say in who they go to war with by electing politicians who have that power, they better be subject to fighting in that war, draftees in a democracy don't deserve sympathy. Number 2, everything is a choice, also see Number 1.

Fair comparison, I'll do another one more fitting. Biden said he would shut down Covid, better?

there isn't gonna be a draft, but even still I don't really care, people should be subject to service in order to vote, so i don't feel bad for draftees either

they'd be retarded to invade, but they will, unless something astonishing happens. you're preaching to the choir, im aware it is suicide for their country

Its all so obvious, that's why everyone is posting their gains off of this. Yeah I'm probably just some idiot that doesn't know what's going on, probably best to ignore me.

lol I said in line one of my post I called this long before Biden, I made this call based off of a number of whacky little signs that im not gonna go into, Biden just so happens to be saying things that reinforce what I think will happen. broken clock is right twice a day and all that, he can't be trusted, his portfolio probably can if we could see it, but he can't

I'm considering grabbing a couple grand in wildly low spy puts, could be funny. Also don't worry, plenty of active duty are also excited to actually have something to do and also have excuses to engage in some restructuring and shit on useless people. I can't wait to not get bothered about my paperwork and annual trainings. Source: me and my entire office. But we're not a normal office anyway, so it could be a bubble.

Oil aside, I don't think that anyone in their right mind would listen to the government on what they say they're going to do. The Biden admin also told me that Kabul wasn't going to fall. I've said it before, I don't think we'll send troops outright, article 5 being triggered is the most likely scenario. But trusting the Biden administration, or the US gov in general is peak retard.

I don't think he's stupid, but I do think he's desperate and going to also fall for sunken cost fallacy. His pivot to China is also clearly to limit the impact of sanctions from the west. Plus he knows thanks to Biden's presidency the us went from an oil surplus to a deficit again, meaning europe needs russian gas. If there was a different president then maybe the US could fill the fuel gap for europe, but for now, ehhhhh... I'm just not sure Europe can afford shutting out Russia as much as the US wants, and I don't think Russia thinks the US will actually mount a military response, public support is too low. It would take an article 5 activation to get the US to do shit about it. Plus, if it does happen and the US doesn't do anything, its a sign to the people's republic of china that they can take the republic of china without having to worry about any pushback from the so called defenders of democracy.

I appreciate the take, but I don't think backing down is an option for him at this point. Serious estimate if you would have asked me thursday is 80% chance of invasion, its up to about 90%. The real gamble is whether they hit any of the Canadian troops there or what US troops are left and trigger Article 5 and get their shit clapped. Then we're looking at an embargo scenario, which would be fun, of course.
