  • The Polish PM says the operation is “ongoing” and he is in contact with the Nato chief; he will also be conducting an extraordinary cabinet meeting in an hour

            They live in a world of communist theory

            With a very big emphasis on “theory”. They somehow got so consumed by their theories that they now live in a parellel reality - or they don’t actually believe what they say, I can’t tell.

            I wouldn’t even say that live in a world of communist theory because a lot of their egregious takes are contrary to actual theory, Marxist-Leninist slant or not.

            I’d just say they live in alternate reality land.

              The ones that I’ve had any negative interaction with in regards to anything related to politics have always quoted theory at me and told me that if I just read some theory, I’d agree with them.

              I honestly haven’t cared enough to see if theory actually agrees with them or if they’re like those Christian extremists who believe that the Bible says to hate minorities.

            “/s” isn’t 4chan slang, it’s generic forum slang that existed before 4chan. It’s a shortened version of XML-style closing tag.

                And second, I don’t understand your outburst. You’re free to start a serious thread about criticizing Russia’s rhetoric, right next to the sarcastic thread that is criticizing Russia’s rhetoric.

        I get your point but I don’t think Russia recreating the first acts of WWII on a NATO country can be dismissed as a ‘distraction’ from many real world events short of actual official world war 3, or Putin being arrested or something.

        There is also a strong argument that illegally invading a country is always quite a significant event, certainly to the people in that country.

    I hope that Poland and the rest of Europe just declares war on Russia already. Putin is going to be a thorn for decades to come, and would likely spit-roast Europe with Fascist America if allowed to fester.

    Should there be a WW3 due to Dogey American aggression, it would be best if Russia is a footnote in that history book.

      Yeah, but most of us have this funny idea that war is a bad thing and we don’t want to do it again.

      I’m pretty sure there are enough ‘pro-war, show those bad guys who’s boss! We ain’t no pussies’ people to form a formidably large army, though, which seems like a win-win for everyone.

      Those who want war can go ahead. Everyone else can continue what we’ve put so much effort into for the last 100 years or so. And all the ‘big fan of war as long as it’s happening to somebody else’ people can choose to be very quiet, or shipped off to the front lines.

      I suspect the internet would suddenly take a very pacifist turn.

        It isn’t about showing a bad guy who’s boss. It is showing a bad guy that you won’t accept the aggression anymore. I’m not pro war against Russia at all, but I’m also pro showing Russia that aggression will have severe consequences and hence should be stopped.

        For my part, I am learning how to shoot and maintain a shotgun, because I don’t expect to be peace in my time. I don’t like to spend the time, money, and effort, nor worry about the results of battle, but I don’t expect the Trump Regime to peacefully back down. I am very likely to be sent to one of RFK’s wellness camps, and will prefer to die as a person, not as a prisoner.

        Peace is good, but that desire shouldn’t be a blinder to the reality of a situation. Russia will keep bullying Europeans, if you let it.

    “Unprecedented”?

    Israel just “precedented” by bombing ACTUAL PEOPLE in TWO sovereign countries. That’s a pretty big “precedent”
