The peace talks will be something like:
Putin: Ukraine is mine now.
Zelensky: Ok.
I really hope that the relevant oligarchs will get control of this loose cannon.
The Russians probably made a list of demands in the past.
They may be more demanding now, but may settle close to previous demands.
Our economic sanctions against Japan prior to WWII most certainly got Pearle Harbor attacked.
We are verging on WWIII.
Geopolitics with egotistical leaders is a fragile thing. Sometimes leaders forget the stakes when their feelings get hurt and they feel the need to save face. Things can escalate quickly out of control. All we need is for China to attack Taiwan, and we are going to be on the precipice of WWIII.
It is a very surreal feeling sitting in my office typing this in complete peace and security knowing that a month from now, we could be facing severe shortages or martial law because WWIII was declared and the entire world is cratering.
Such a weird feeling.
I mean, the odds are low. Nobody wants really wants it, but things can spiral out of control when you are too many decades away from the last catastrophic event and kind of begin to forget the extreme suffering and horror of it. We don’t have anybody left who really experienced it first hand. Our esteemed idiotic world leaders may get the idea that “it is different this time” and we can win.
We can’t. There are only losers in a world war. The losers who come out ahead and the losers who lose everything. With nucular weapons (GW Bush - the gift that keeps on giving) we really stand to lose everything. China thinks they can win a nuclear war.
Life is weird. I hope cooler heads prevail but I don’t trust the current crop of idiots further than I can spit.
I can’t blame Putin for putting his nuclear deterrent forces on alert. A dementia-ridden potato has control of the nuclear football.
‘alert’
more pressure at no cost in Russian lives
This guy with the landmine cracks me up..he couldnt waste his cigarette

Dumb and dumber, Putin is a retard and his errand boy will go down with him.
What’s the end game for Putin and Lukashenko after the trash talk?
Is there an off-ramp, or are they going to ride the bull straight to hell and push the button down?
Alternatively, are they both so weak that they have nothing to lose because their governments are ready to implode?
“Trade with me on my terms, or I will nuke your country.”
Yeah, that’s not going over with me.
Did Putin and his boot licker Luka think it was going to be business as usual after the invasion?
Schiff and Pelosi and Schumer and all the democrats with their fake Russia Russia Russia hoax have brought us to this level of hostility with Russia. They enabled Putin with their fake Ukraine impeachment. Schiff caused this all with his fake and evil which hunt using Russia and Ukraine as a fake and evil tool for politics playing with fire and not realizing the repercussions of what they were doing. The media went along and are to blame as well. Somebody please put Adam Schiff in jail for the criminal he is.. Hillary started the ball with this and is just as responsible and needs to be in the jail cell with him. The Republicans need to point this out load and clear. The democrats and Biden are the cause of World War III.
“And the Putin-Lukashenko fan bois go wild!”
LMAO, ain’t nobody here cheering on Putin, some of us sre just attempting a realistic and objective analysis of what seems to be transpiring. These things have a tendency to spiral out of control quickly, and Putin putting his nukes on standby is next level stuff.
Among other things we are shutting out the Russian Central Bank so we can drive the ruble down to nothing, while his foreign currency assets are frozen so he can’t do anything about it. So we are actively trying to crush Russia economically, which in itself would be considered an act of war. Somehow I doubt Russia will just sit back and accept this without an appropriate response, a response that is likely to raise the stakes even higher. I don’t think they are in the mood to be playing here, they see themselves under an existential threat. All it takes is one miscalculation on either side. And who the hell knows which unelected clown among Biden’s advisors is really calling the shots, I think there’s good reason to be concerned.
There is nothing "deterrent" about threatening a nuclear attack.
VP is the only one that is tossing the nuke card onto the table.
.
We’ve seen how competent the Russian army is.
I don’t think NATO needs to fear WWW3.
The bellicose bimbo from Belarus can easily be added the to the SWIFT, airline economic sanctions without too much trouble.
Yawn.
