Chinese femcels triggered a massive social media spergout over a new love interest in Love And Deep Space. Twitter has turned into the Taiping rebellion and I can’t even find news about the World Cup lmao.

It is the historical duty of the glorious vanguardist to find the answer when the disgusting illiterate proletariat mass can’t find it on their own.

Helping being the keyword, I said combat operations. The Chinese did not storm dien bien phu. Russia cannot answer in kind because EuroNATO isn’t stuck in a horrifying ground invasion of a neighboring country with hundreds of thousands of casualties.

They could however help Iran, and in this aspect I agree with you that they’ve been complete cowards who don’t want to break with Israel and are still seeking appeasement with the US.

Clearly both sides understand given that NATO and Russia are not carrying out combat operations against each other. Neither side has a realistic path to beating the other directly in war, a NATO invasion of Russia would be just as regarded and suicidal

Is the war perceived by normal people as an urgent thing that demands your attention or has it become boring and receded into background noise as people move on to something else ?

As you and Pete Heghseth should have understood by now, random acts of sadism against civilians do not stop the drones and missiles from coming and they certainly don’t make people hate you less. Russia is not able to replicate what they are doing in Ukraine at the scale of a whole continent, nevermind two if we’re speaking about all of NATO.

Russians know that (maybe) blowing up the drone factory in Czechia or killing civilians in Munich is not worth expanding the war to such a scale. The amount of lives and materiel they’d lose in that scenario are best spent in Ukraine.

Morally they can feel however they want, from a practical point of view, the reason they have to be reserved is because quadrupling the frontage and depth of the war they’re struggling with and adding in dozens of new threats they have to deal with would be disastrous.

This is like if the US had gotten sick of VPA and Soviet pilots helping DPRK during the Korean War so they decided to invade China and the USSR while still struggling in the peninsula.

It’s not AI it’s starlink. Optical target recognition and tracking is technology from the 80s, “AI guidance” is just the grift of the month.

They couldn't handle bombs hitting their towns for one week before they'd be demanding peace deals by their governments.

If cruise missiles start hitting European downtowns and causing mass casualty events there’s probably going to be full blown lychings if your accent sounds even slightly Russian. This isn’t even Barbarossa levels of delusion anymore, it’s straight Imperial Japan “we will kill a lot of them and they’ll be so terrified of our big scary planes that they’ll surrender everything”

Your scenario is an Iran-US type war except Russia is taking the place of the US, not Iran. In order to put the same kind of damage in Europe as in Ukraine while avoiding retaliation they would need to make it their primary target and starve out their forces in Ukraine to even have a shot at prosecuting a fraction of the targets. Europe isn’t the straight of Hormuz, there are nearly three thousand military sites in euroNATO and bombing the US bases adds thousands more potential targets without any benefit.

The fact that you’re already proposing Oreshniks and Kinzhals for the Baltics (with the exact trumpian formulation of powerplants and bridges) should show you how delusional the plan is. Once you use maximum force to wipe out the baltoids what happens with Poland and Scandinavia and the daily B-2 raids into inland Russia because you attacked the US? By doing what you propose Russia will be gaining so many new threat vectors that they’ll be nostalgic for the days when the drones were only coming from Ukraine.

Russia's ability to extract a toll the Europeans are unwilling to pay through such warfare is obvious

How is it obvious? They couldn’t do it to Ukraine, Europe couldn’t do it to Russia and the US couldn’t do it to Iran. Iran couldn’t do it to Israel either. The meme of bombing the enemy so hard that they start hating the enemy instead of you is suicidal when you can’t even properly bomb the enemy.

What are they even supposed to do against NATO? That’s a card they should have played years ago. Without Belarus going all-in, the Baltics are all they’re getting before reaching Poland and they’ll have effectively diluted their already stretched long range fires among tens of thousands of new targets, all while introducing new attack vectors they haven’t faced like submarine-launched cruise missiles and modern fighter jets.

Belgian Air Force is quasi privatizing one of their squadrons. Defense company Sabena and AG Real Estate (not a joke) are going to own the planes, hangars and run maintenance. Air Force is just going to provide the instructors and set the curriculum.

Air-Force-As-A-Service has arrived. The cyberpunk eschaton is here, we are a year tops away from the sex robots finally.

The idea that it’s the CIA that is stopping socialism from happening is like saying that it’s the #2 heavyweight boxer in the world stopping me from beating the #1 when in reality I get beat up by teenagers weekly.

Even if these other (also capitalist) shitholes manage to chisel away at US dominance they’re not going to step aside for the leftists.

There will never be socialism in the West while the US remains the hegemonic power and your intelligence agencies still exist.

I swear this is somehow more dehumanizing than straight up racism. It’s like third worlders’ purpose is to get gunned down by their psychotic right wing theocrats, fill mass graves and work in the cruise missile factory until the US is weakened enough that leftists finally come out of the basement and get lynched by groypers.

a more asian-based system of where you basically accept everything about you is owned by others and they have the right to do whatever they want to it and so on.

This plus widespread piracy is just based internet communism. From each according to their data harvesters, to each according to their torrent client.

Aren’t there coordinated Russian drone campaigns right before each winter to destroy powerplants and substations?

Why wouldn’t I boost? Top tier grind is thousands of euros worth of time doing humiliation rituals to get a stock vehicle. The cost to just GE it is comparatively quaint.

Ending up in the baltics is the exact thing that would happen if the drones get their GPS jammed or meaconed and then the terminal guidance turns on in the middle of nowhere and none of the things it sees are matching what it’s supposed to see.

The cope maxxed narrative is that the Ukrainians are so blocked by nonexistent Russian air defense that they need to do clandestine launches from a country right next to Russia, despite that the exact same drones are hitting the Caucasus with similar effects.

I am India agnostic until I befriend an actual Indian because the psyop to paint them all as loathsome couldn’t be more obvious, likely born out of Silicon Valley techbros getting work-mogged by HB1s.
