As someone who doesn't want NATO to get involved, I think you'd be very worried about Polish planes being flown into Ukraine from a NATO base
Aside from leaving a dark precedent and blueprint for states like China to follow, the question of whether to continue cutting Russia off Swift remains. It's the main punitive measure of recourse the West has outside of putting NATO troops on foreign soil. Then you have to consider how long and effective this can last, such as Russia adopting a CBDC like China's or whether the suffering of ordinary Russians becomes a greater humanitarian issue. Saddam eventually found a way out of sanctions. Putin could survive even if it meant sucking up to the Chinese while they prop up a working alternative. Tough options.
You are one of the least informed persons on this board. Time and time again throughout the history of this form your bullshit has been called out and you runaway like an intellectual deficient coward you are. You keep trying to be a troll but you don't have the intellectual capacity to do even that.
He's like that old crazy man that runs into a room and lets off a big fart and runs away before anyone can react to him, while he goes laughing off
I’ve seen Garry Kasparov on two different news networks making military demands of NATO and the U.S. Why should I care what he has to say on matters of war and why aren’t they giving equal time to Deep Blue? He defeated Garry in 1997. He likely has a superior strategy to defeat Putin. Luv ya, Blue.
[Educational Post] For most people with below average IQ scores, when they are presented with information that contradicts their understanding, they erroneously believe it to be crazy. The deeper the programming and indoctrination, the more severe this phenomenon becomes. I am one of a select handful of actual intellectuals on this BBS who can harness the power of critical thinking to reach conclusions. GOOD DAY
Allow me to give you a little refresher course on how this bbs works. You post some facts which ignores and misrepresents the actual situation. You are mostly ignored by most folks except those that aren't familiar. Or people feel like using your troll post as a springboard to make valid points. Then you are unwilling to respond or answer questions related to your post. Oh wait... You didn't need a refresher course at all. Nevermind. By the way this post is immune from being flagged. I used one of my two flag proof donation benefits.
Russia doesn't get to dictate what we do. Putin may or may not escalate. The thing with Putin escalating is that his hands are relatively full as is. Diverting and spreading their military more is very risky for Russia in their current invasion and will weaken them for further invasions.
This is one of the most intellectually dishonest videos on Ukraine I have seen. You thinking this is a great video says more about you then the shitty content of the video.
I'm not an expert here, but perhaps if they were EU bases, not NATO bases... but I'm more fascinated by the utter foreign policy cluster****ery, on multiple fronts. we are all witnesses.
Props to McDonald's. I hate their food (except fries) and don't really care for their company. But they are halting operations in Russia but still paying the workers. That's super cool and surprisingly principled of them.
I hope all of the assets seized by the west on the Russian banks are used to rebuild everything Putin has destroyed in Ukraine.
