Buckle up for a long thread and definitely please share far & wide. The full text is over 2000 words. This is a highly insightful look behind the curtain - covers many subjects.
Right. If you think the Russians invaded Texas and we’d say “well we’re going to lose so it would be better to live under Russian rule than die free” you’d be insane. Texas would never do that. I don’t think Ukraine will either.
Fuck- why hasn’t Washington thought of that. We can just show up at the border with some state troopers out of Abilene and tell them we’re there to arrest Putin. They’ll let us right in. I hope your good at sex because that may be all you got.
So Ive been an AAU coach for a while now. About 5 years ago I was shot at outside a nightclub. I got my gun and returned fire, but due to other people returning fire I was never charged. Now I got this parent who is giving me some shit about this incident and threatening to keep his son from playing on my team. Ive had about enough of his shit and am about to roll up on his crib and give him some lead or just tell his kid to go play for someone else. What would you do?
I stopped the sale of 2 guns to a lady today - she had the crazy look and I didn’t feel comfortable about it. My call 100% - so gun sellers DO try and filter out the bad ones.
Half of those countries hit the “decline “ button immediately. The others are trying to figure out a way to take advantage of Putin not being able to attend the summit due to the new concrete shoes he got as a present.
As I watched Russia stumble around and fist their own assholes as they started the invasion, I wondered if it was a ploy to get their hands on all of these weapons that would be provided. We shall soon see.
I think this is a great opportunity to get involved. Send in the Red Cross secured by nato troops to help with the dead/injured. Would provide a break for the Ukrainians because it would effectively pause Russian advancements. Ukrainians need some rest by now. Another thought - if Putin is sending in the Chechnya dudes and they’re as ruthless as advertised then maybe it’s time for others to get involved.
Putin will soon get pissed that nato is sending support like manpads and whatever else and let some missile fly some ship/transport/location he shouldn’t. Then NATO will respond in kind. Get ready.
What I’m getting out of all of this- If just one country had some balls (Turkey, France, Canada, US, whomever) this fight would be over in 24 hours. Russia couldn’t handle ANYBODY else stepping in to help Ukraine. He sure as hell couldn’t open up a second front against France or Canada. His only options would be defeat or Nukes. I dont think her nuke but what do I know.
I can totally see us communicating in real time with Ukraine of what’s going on, where to shoot, when to hold back, etc. I’m sure the intel that the US/UK/etc is providing is flat out allowing them to do work and, in turn, giving them confidence. Keep fighting Ukraine. All of Surly supports you.
