    We are already seeing other nations now dipping their toe in the water to see what they can and cannot make claims to...

    We have Japan making reference to some islands under Russian control as being of Japanese origins.

    I believe Turkey made some comments as well recently about ports of origin being Turkish.

    This could end up potentially being a big problem.

    I know a lot of people are painting this as Russia versus the world but that isn't the case.

    China has used its media to legitimize the Russian claims (there are Chinese and Trumpers on this site siting the 1940 German liberation of the Ukraine as an example) to prep their people if necessary and there are other parts of the world such as Africa and India that also support Russia.... and that doesn't get into Syrian and pockets in the Middle East.

    If a war breaks out between NATO and Russia, the rest of the world will be involved in one way or another.

    Yes, this is basically group therapy and thought exercise for us as none of has any input on the global stage (sadly in some cases and thankfully in others lol)

    China and Russia are clearly in bed and have shifted strategically to see the west as their enemy.

    This is a new cold war with China the big daddy and Russia the little brother. That's why Putin can invade Ukraine, it has a new sugar daddy in China.

    Thus the reason why Putin will get assassinated before a nuke is even began a countdown.

    Here is what we don't know though or at least I don't. Does Putin have the ability to trigger a launch on his own?

    They are trying to starve the people. This was no accident. Putin is a coward that cant defeat the Ukraine's defense so he is trying to starve them into submission

    MojoMan is a stark ethnonationalist so anything the western liberal order does in the name of harming the accession of ethnonationalism is bad. If you listen to or read the commentary he links, in his world view we are a bunch of globalist cucks.
