https://davidicke.com/DEADPOOL wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 12:23 pmWell I am also confused as to why everyone appears to want to discuss DEADPOOL rather than the issues raised.
Nothing Boris is doing currently is affecting the world order (except possibly our relationship with Saudi Arabia). Everything Biden does is and it's not going well for this admin. Russia can see that, the CCP can see that and they will take advantage of these signs of weakness.
It is entirely possible that Russia and the CCP will form an alliance. They already support Iran and if you think one tinpot dictator is running Myanmar without external assistance, then that's not what I call "thinking".
So what is Russia invades Ukraine? Who cares if they are also supporting Irans nuclear weapons ambitions? Taiwan belongs to China anyway. Just let them get on with it, I'm sure the UK will be just fine.
The primary issue is - who exactly is running America? It seem fairly obvious to me it is global corporations and big tech who basically bought their way in via corrupt politicians. Trump was an asshole yes but nowhere near as dangerous or self serving as the current crop who are moving the USA away from democracy towards totalitarianism.
If it can happen there, it can happen here.

You all need to sort your lives out and start making changes.

Indeed, one should not consider oneself as a person to whom things are done to, don't be a victim, choose your path and move swiftly and decisively.Asian Boss wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 10:16 pm You all need to sort your lives out and start making changes.

What could they do miliarily? Vietnam was a lesson well learned and they haven't forgotten it yet.Potter wrote: ↑Thu Apr 15, 2021 2:46 pmI think he took a good look at it and thought to leave his nose out of it, at least publicly anyway, who knows what black ops did.
Biden is likely to turn his back and pretend it didn't happen.
Trump would talk loudly about it.
The end result might end up being the same, but the dead people aren't what is important, it's about what is seen to be done and how the rest of the world responds.
I think Biden will take a much tougher stance against Russia than Trump ever did. I think there's some sanctions working their way through now.
If Russia do go in to the Ukraine, there will be speeches at the UN, but the US won't (under any president) do anything and Putin knows that.
The thing that may cause it to spiral is that Zelensky is cosying up to Erdogan for support. If Turkey get dragged in to it then Turkey is a NATO country.
I think Erdogan is too canny of an operator to put himself in russia's way though.

The native American Indians have a saying, they believe that there are two wolves fighting for your soul, one is resentment, bitterness and negativity, the other is love, hope, and positivity.
The wolf that wins is the one you feed.
