Come on then if you think you’re hard enough
Hitting London with a ballistic missile would bring the rents down. Maybe this is a good thing.
Please do it Putin. WE want the excuse, NATO wants the excuse, Poland’s
chompingchamping at the bit for the excuse and we really want to see how long it takes them to rush Moscow.Edit: damn it Lemmy, I’m an engineer not a dictionary.
Pushes glasses in It’s actually “champing.”
Language evolves.
Lukashenko: why are there troops with wings sprayed on their vehicles massing near my border?
THEN THE WINGED HUSSARS ARRIVED
WE want the excuse, NATO wants the excuse
Are you ready to enlist?
Sure, with my skillset I’ll be designing and building drones by the 1000s. If that is what is required to stop a tyrant from threatening Europe hand me a long brown overcoat, hat, cigarette, and FRSKY radio transmitter!
Edit: I should emphasize, I’d rather not fight if not necessary. I’d rather be in my current job creating equipment for infrastructure that will power the green energy transition.
However, I have studied history and there are times where conflict is unavoidable especially when dealing with power mad dictators. The countries of Europe deserve to live in peace to find their own paths without the threat to their borders and sovereignty. Russia itself deserves a government that works for everyone not just the dozen oligarchs in Moscow.
Oh and for the record, fuck US imperialism (though they are a NATO ally) and fuck the CCP, yes you tankies can fuck off as well.
How very brave of you.
I’ll go back just to fuck Putin.
Reminder that World War 2 had a gradual unfolding of declarations of war across several months or longer, depending on how you want to fuck that pig. I think we’re already in the onset of WWIII, in some sense.
That’s terrifying because WW3 risks the use of nuclear weapons and every model of nuclear exchange that has been run always escalates to mutual assured destruction with billions dead and the end of civilization.
I just finished listening to the audiobook of Nuclear War: A scenario by Annie Jacobsen. Highly recommend it.
The real slippery slopes are graded much less steeply than you’d expect
Civilization’s kinda shit anyway. We had a
goodrun.
I’m not sure we’re on a path to WWIII if it’s Russia vs everyone else. If China decides to get involved then maybe but I don’t see any evidence they’re willing to throw in with Putin, same with Iran.
There’s a 100% chance that Trump will send troops to Iran in the next year.
No there’s not. Where are you getting this absolute certainty from?
Trump’s relationship with Netanyahu and the relationship between Israel and Iran.
That doesn’t necessarily equate to there being a 100% certainty of boots on the ground in Iran though, does it?
The Israeli government pushed for “judicial reform” last year prior to the war with Palestine. People were saying that they were doing it in order to go into Palestine and then the big attack by Hamas happened and gave them an excuse. Tensions with Iran and Israel have escalated when Israel assassinated a Hamas leader in Iran over the summer and Iran responded with missile attacks on Israel. I believe that after Trump takes office there will be something that happens that will be “the last straw.” Maybe it will be “WMDs”, hiding Hamas leaders, or some big attack by Iran. It’s going to happen.
I’m still not sure why you’re so certain about this. You’re speculating that something might happen and yet you said that there’s a “100%” chance of US boots on the ground in Iran.
As awful as Trump is, his first term wasn’t nearly as hawkish at that of other republican presidents.
This is what I have been saying too. I think we will look back on this time and refer to it as the start of ww3.
Also technology is completely different than it ever has been. Like there was not a big tome or tech difference between ww1 and ww2. So a modern world war would look completely different making it difficult to identify.
So far it’s been lots more grenade drones and cyber warfare than you got in the 20th century. Asymmetry is the name of the game, aside from urban positional fighting and more traditional focus on logistics and supply lines.
Blowing up the Brits is a nice olive branch, but I think we’ll need more commitment if we want a lasting peace deal
Please end our suffering (as a Brit)
Bring it.

Nah, they’re already in the Brexit corner of shame for the next 15 years.
So the UK thought they could support western provided missiles launched into Russia, and there wouldn’t be any consequences for that?
Western leaders really have the attitude of children who think war is something that happens on tv.
