Also, stop falling for @Hollywood Hulk Hogan's bait, He's just trying to rile people up with shitposts and he knows he'll get reactions because people are actually falling for it and also derailing the thread. If you see any derailment like that in general, Just report and move on.

Really doesn’t bode well for ukrainian defenses if they can’t guard their capital’s airport on the first day

Yep, it gets worse for them still:

Gotta admit that I thought the ruskies would opt for a more veiled approach rather than an all out invasion of Ukraine. Guess their self-esteem is truly off the charts these days.

Aside from that, I truly can't say that I am particularly surprised by those events. Both China and Russia have been testing the waters for military invasions in the last decade or so. The political and economic instability brought on by the pandemic (intensionally or not, who knows) has only worked as a useful smokescreen.

Europe's absurd decision to sabotage their own energy sufficiency certainly helped wonders and now we're at a point in history where the mass media elected scarecrows have finally called the bluff of the figureheads seating in the UN (I suspect that the clownery that happened in the Middle East last year played a large part in weakening the public image of the USA).

I can only say that this outcome is a fairly interesting one and it's fascinating to be living in a time where we can witness history as it happens from the comfort of our homes. What a brave new world, really.

On this note...

Don't lose sleep over the skirmishes between global elites and political figureheads. There are no "good guys" in the field of geopolitics. Everyone is equally terrible and the difference between the elected politician and the dictator is his willingness to put up with the pretense of caring for the people —and he will only do so if he can gain money and influence in the process.

No point in going full on doomer either —there will be no nuclear war. The Ruskies and the Chinese may change the political landscape around parts of Asia and Eastern Europe but that's about it.

Though you might benefit from investing in gold/silver and getting ready for another wave of crisis in the supply chain.

It's called the ignore feature. Use it. It doesn't make you weak or a pussy to anyone that isn't a fucking retard.

If that is too hard, use the highlights.

The negative ramifications of the ignore feature as it stands is that you totally ignore that user. There are some posters here who are decent enough outside of threads like these, and the ignore feature is global. It would be great if there was a feature implemented to ignore users on a thread-specific basis.

Apparently removing Russia from Swift is still off the table in the EU discussions. So I guess flattening Ukraine isn't that big of a deal to Europe.

This guy atleast gets it. There is no energy crisis - only grifters and conmen. These policies are entirely political in nature. There is no energy crisis at all, it is literally a political vice - traitors letting you freeze because they have their own goals which involve you paying more.

We were energy Independent for the first time in my life time at the end of Trump's administration, which was always considered a complete Pipe Dream, and it was done in 3 Years. Fuck it we were exporting oil.

Anyone who advocates for "Wind and Solar" power on a mass scale should fucking kill themselves. It's a fantasy on par with Troons thinking they are real women.

I bet Taiwan is sweating pretty hard right now.

They should be thanking God and Buddah that China hosted the Olympics. They got some breathing room, otherwise they would've been fucked. Taiwan is horribly unprepared, and not capable of thwarting a an amphibious landing.
 
I can't really see the Russian army taking any major cities, not to mention Kiev. Urban warfare is super slow, gory and, despite the pincer movement they're trying to pull off right now, it would look like Grozniy 2: Electric Boogaloo even if some airports have been captured. What is Putin's aim here? Occupy strategic areas, hold Ukraine's infrastructure hostage and make demands?

Eh, nah. You actually want your best guys to be your spearhead, especially after the shock and awe of an initial strike with aircraft and artillery and the command disruption allowing mechanized troops to run wild. I'd guess that this is more a result of troops going too nuts in running off by themselves and advancing recklessly after the initial chaos and running into reorganized enemy concentrations and finding themselves biting off more than they can chew.

Hot take: The world is getting a very quick understanding of why putting women in combat positions is stupid, and oh yes IQ matters.
