Lol, you're still projecting. You literally resort to name calling whenever the facts don't fit your narrative.

[-] Julianus@lemmy.ml 0 points 2 years ago

That, my friend, is straight-up projection. Yes, we shall see. But I doubt it'll be that long before the dust settles.

But there can't be much air up there, with your head up your ass.

There's room for you, Yogi. Join the rest of us and live in peace. There's some real issues we all need to deal with. Pull your head out of your ass and deal with the real existential threats we all face.

Yep, that's why Russia is getting spanked by a nation the size of Nebraska. It's good to dream, but don't quit your day job.

Lol. Can't or already has complete domination? I love to root for the underdog, but come on, Russia isn't even in the same league.

Putin's nuclear powered, nuclear tipped, nuclear flavored wet dream? That's so pedestrian. We're living in the future, not a 1950s pulp novel. And again... they can't even maintain their conventional forces. It's highly dubious they'll be able to support more than the demo, or even that, as was the case with the Buran.

They aren't a superpower. This would imply the ability to project power across the planet. And right now, Russia is struggling at the ends of it's own rail lines. And how many aircraft carriers do they have? Zero.

They are nuclear armed, but I doubt if they can maintain 1% of their arsenal given the corruption and neglect evident in the rest of their military. They do love blowing money researching old-fashioned "super weapons," ala Hilter's last days. But they can't afford more than the demo model. Or the clean up when they splash isotopes all over their own lands when one blows up in testing. Meanwhile, America, the real superpower, is on to 21st century tech.

So Putin is going to invade Amnesty International now? They're not even a NATO member. And if you don't support changing regimes that violate human rights and commit crimes against humanity, what are you?

Ha ha, yep, NATO scared Putin so much he invaded an unaligned nation in response. Nobody cares to invade Russia. Russia would be a NATO member, if it wasn't trapped in the cold war mentality of Putin. What do you get in return? Finland 2.0? Afghanistan 2.0? And a new batch of EU and NATO members. Putin has outmaneuvered himself.

What the west should have done was Marshal Plan eastern Europe. Build them up with loans and investments rather let them wallow in corruption and poverty. Look at Japan and Germany today, compared to Russia. It was a cruel, conscious choice to use them as a cheap labor stock. And now we have to deal with the results: peace in our time? Or checking an aggressor before he starts World War III.

It's hilarious that the Azov Battalion was formed from a bunch of racist rednecks because Russia invaded Crimea. And now you use it as the justification to for another invasion? Russia needs to learn to stay in it's lane.

As for Wagner Group, it is directly operated as a thinly veiled proxy army. They are a Kremlin asset whose leaders flash Nazi insignia as much as those Azov yokels. I wonder how the Ukrainian denazifacation of Wagner is going in Kyiv? Three foiled assassination attempts so far...
