Exactly the feelings of the Right , ignore the world’s problems or anyone else that doesn’t look like them and focus on their privilege and victimhood .

Dude let Russia amass it’s troops in his country without realizing they could kill him and take his country in a couple hours of work

And russian troops at Belarussian-Ukrainian border are definitely not risking Ukraines security

> Why are our leaders worried about escalating

Russia has been a Nuclear power for decades.

This is called the finding out phase

its called establishing defences against the invading forces you keep letting use your territory

say if i owned a fence, and on my neighbours side is a chicken farm, on my side is a pack of wolves, if i dont do anything about the wolves crossing the fence to eat the chickens i dont get to complain if my neighbour builds a better fence on their side

Yeah, it's called protecting themselves from their aggressive neighbors.

Very true, just look what happened in Hong Kong the people revolted but we're still unable to make the government change. It's just a matter of time before the rest of the world gets to this point.

Sergei Lavrov. Larger and taller than Putin, in office for almost as long as him, intelligent, tactical, loyal to Putin but not completely crazy.

My money says it breaks out in North Africa. Probably Egypt and some other player like Ethiopia fighting over the Nile.

That’s fucking rich

OMG dude, this inspires many parallels between Putin and Palpatine. In the end, Palpatine dies in a nuclear reactor core. I hope life does not go on to imitate art. Also, wonder who Vader would be.

Defenestration must have been quite common in the USSR, which probably led to the window scene written by Lucas' writers.

Just give him the colonel rank already, he's trying so hard.

I hope the people of Belarus understand what their leader is slowly dragging them to

What the headline should have been: "The world will face wars over food and water, EU needs to be self-sustaining, green with forest and strong in military or else it'll be doomed like the rest of the world."

We seriously need to arm up like crazy and stop spending money on bullshit luxury, create forest and have no growth nor decline of population. Its the only way to keep at least one place on earth inhabitable; Europe.

Russia invades them via Belarus. The fuck you want them to do?

He's his masters lapdog. I don't think Putin has given him power because he has faith in his own. This guy would have "fell" from a window if Putin didn't trust him

the comment above you is in reference to the TV star wars the clone wars, where the emporer confronts darth maul and attacks him. He just applied the concept to Putin.

I honestly don't see any way in which it would benefit Ukraine to attack Belarus, although it would knock out staging areas of Russia out of the war, it would simply cost too much and prolong the battle front.

Sorry Luka

I mean it may not be wrong. Sahara was full of grass at one point. And again and again

I swear I've seen this in a movie before, maybe several movies, it never ends well...

Lol 'liberal media'. Sure, If I just turn a blind eye to the problems of the world and utilize my privilege to shield myself from those problems, I'll probably be happier. Worked for the boomers!
