Russia vs Ukraine anyone watching this ignite?

[Tombs]

Ohhhh, sounds like the US needs to send in a “nuclear safety force” to deal with potential radiation issues. Russians and nuclear power plants don’t work well together…….

Chernobyl is in Ukraine, not Russia.

I'm sure Russia will stop.
They just need a little "lebenstraum"

Here Putin is practicing "lebenstraum" at a cabinet meeting. Probably to discuss "lebenstraum" He needs 3/4 of that table as his living space.

Cusp?

Personally I believe more in the theory that WW2 never ended. It has been constant medium intensity conflict between the west and russia since then, just indirectly.

You make an interesting point.
But, I simply meant I feel like we are on the cusp of seeing WW3 erupt into multiple hot front lines. I can't help but wonder what it will take to draw us into another declared war. What will be the act that will be the equivalent of the attack on Pearl Harbor and tip the scales?
Now, I think history books will show it started long ago

Probably needs 3/4 of that table to keep space because he probably doesn't have full trust of everyone else at the table

Social distancing since the other people at the table may not be vaccinated and boosted. Follow the science.

Well, there was that whole Valkyrie thing to learn from

Obviously it was a joke, and neither modern Russia nor Ukraine (however long it exists) would make the same mistake as the old soviet union workers - but that kind of ruins the joke I guess…

China must be loving the profits they made supplying Russia.

COMMS SECURITY: A report: The Russian forces are using Baofeng (China) UV-5R dual-band 2m/70cm (440 Mhz) ham radios that sell on Amazon for $25 to $60. It’s a great radio for the money, and lots of hams I know have them, along with the separate clip-on mic/speaker so the radio can stay on the...

The Russian forces are using Baofeng (China) UV-5R dual-band 2m/70cm (440 Mhz) ham radios that sell on Amazon for $25 to $60. It’s a great radio for the money, and lots of hams I know have them, along with the separate clip-on mic/speaker so the radio can stay on the hip.

Except for jamming and lack of encryption, and the fact that amateur radio operators in all countries already frequent those bands, it’s an extremely good choice for an army under budget.

My comment is kind of turning the table of the joke lol.

Nice to know even our politicians are insane...

I know the common theme here is blame putin blame putin, but thats too simplistic, does anyone actually believe he’s doing this of his own volition? That his military isnt behind his actions?

To think that if he eats a bullet itll stop is asinine. They may use it as a scapegoat to stop whats going on, but this wasnt just putins decision.

Yeah, I'm sure they had to twist a reluctant Putin's arm.

While yes, that might be the case, if the ultra wealthy of Russia are getting annoyed by this behavior I don't think it matters who might be behind the invasion.

Russian foreign minister when asked about the threat of a nuclear strike responds "we don't have insane people"

Maybe the Pelosib!tch will call the Foreign Minister, and tell him to keep the "footballski" away from Putin?
