Why are you putting made up in quotation marks? Its effects are real, but it was designed by humans. It is certainly made up.

Assumed as much. I'd imagine if there was any real danger there would be more than one article on r/worldnews about it.

Isn't there a potato farm you should be attending to?

Ironically, the fact that Putin's reign is secure might be better for Ukraine's prospects for retaking Crimea, because Biden might just decide to support Ukraine for retaking Crimea.

Can someone ELI Michael Scott how?

Star trek. And better. That's it.

Ever since the War of the 316th Coalition against Napoleon, the French are always wary of groups of assorted Europeans congregating.

Absolutely well before. I wouldn't be surprised if it was changed to 2030.

Climate change has always exceeded both time and severity estimates. That must has been consistent.

I'm sure we'll find new ways to make money. Hell, some idiots started selling jpegs this past year for millions.

What is this title. There has got to be a simpler and more understandable way to write this title.

He probably needs to learn to not inhale while swallowing.

They said hole not whore.

Ukranian politician speaks on the record. Says something meaningful. Worldnews notices... how hot she is.

Fuuuuuuck me.

So being a developing nation means it's ok to commit crimes against humanity? Good point dude. Can't argue that one. Have a good day.

I was thinking the same thing. Putin's reign is secure. He's not going anywhere, and because of that, he won't suicide himself by starting a nuclear war.

little green artillery, taking a beach vacation in Crimea.

I do not even think it will get to a stage where he will get a full blown civil war. I mean, look at the protests at the start of the war, those were pretty huge and it died down. Of course, the protests will be even larger if he loses Crimea but I do not really see a pathway to outright rebellion. I mean, his army is puttin down refuseniks very effectively now. Unless the officers rebel too of course, but I cannot foresee that happening, at least not yet. Maybe once the officers realise they have a high chance of dying when US enters the fray, only then they will rebel.

Again, US should tilt Putin calculations such that losing Crimea is an acceptable risk.

They threatened nukes over a lot of things. Last time Putin bluffed he said he wasn't bluffing about not bluffing anymore but all he does is bluff bluff Bluffety bluff all bluffing day. At any rate, threatening nukes isn't a loophole for world conquest. That's not a precedent the world is willing to set.

> My thought was more along the lines of Russian propaganda needing to keep up the general narrative that Russia is not fighting a “fair” fight with Ukraine. They are fighting against the entire western world.
When the war drags on, and Russia keeps having setbacks, they will say it is because they are fighting the West.

Then maybe, and I’m just spitballing here, maybe they should avoid picking fights with the US and its allies…?

I sincerely wish that NATO were actually involved from the start. Because then this really would have only lasted 3 days… 3 days to an occupied moscow, that is.
