Biden is a lame duck president with NO PUBLIC MANDATE and subterranean approval rating, he got ousted by his own party before the election for being mentally incapacitated, his defense against a Justice Department inquiry is he’s too old and senile, his party just got BTFO in a national election. No NATO or NATO proxies have ever launched long range missiles into Russia in living memory. How is this guy brump fit for office

STOP EATING CRAYONS AND DO YOUR FUCKING JERB. “Senile old man sends young people to WW3 out of spite”

    They’re calling Russia’s bluff. That’s what they’re thinking. They’re betting Russia wouldn’t dare to escalate into a nuclear war, and they’d be right (most of the time), because no sane country would want that.

      Russia won’t escalate to nuclear, but it will have to escalate, which is going to ruin the rest of Ukraine all for a chance of getting more intelligence on Russian capabilities.

        small price to pay for the US. Not like anyone in Ukraine can complain. Not like any westerner ever sees anything about the consequences. Not like the lackeys “in charge” in Ukraine will say anything about it. The US will just pay off their most loyal puppets and move on to the next country to destroy.

        How will Russia escalate further? They are already doing almost everything they can, including deploying troops in Ukraine from other countries like NK, and indiscriminate bombing of civilian centers in Ukraine.

        Russia has no capability to escalate the war besides nukes, which they won’t use. It’s amusing y’all think this is a big deal, it’s not and nothing will happen. The US should have approved these strikes the minute we supplied the weapons in the first place.

          Russia has 10x more personnel and equipment not being used in any way or form in this war. They can double the forces and go harder on the offensive.

          Sources: Am in Russia, business is as usual for the most part.

          Additional source: My nephews who boasted achieving best results in class at riffle re-assembly. Meaning that this soviet-era class is revived and that there is at least a couple dozen rifles in every single school across the country, being used as child’s toys.

          EDIT: Fuck, it’s even worse than I expected — he just launched a motherfucking ICBM, that crazy old bastard.

          Troops from DPRK have not been in Ukraine, they are only in Russia. They also don’t indiscriminately bomb civilian areas, that’s Ukraine. It’s clear you have gotten a distorted and biased stream of information on what this war has entailed. If Russia was so desperate, why are they winning on all fronts? What are you even talking about? Russia could easily flatten all of Kiev and Lviv overnight if they just carpet bombed them like you claim they do. That’s how Israel and the US fights, not Russia.

          Russia slowly pushes an advance with artillery and only uses precise missile strikes on weapon depots, drone manufacturing, energy, oil depots, etc behind the front-lines. Civilians evacuate from these areas and they become grayzone in the frontlines, with monthlong artillery duels going on and pushes with a couple dozen armored vehicles. They use drones to attrition enemy supply lines.

          None of this is “indiscriminate bombing of civilian areas” there’s always a military target.

          Whereas Israel and the US just do indiscriminate air strikes taking out city blocks until the entire populated area is reduced to rubble. They did this throughout Asia and the Middle East. This kills tens to hundreds of thousands of civilians per month. The Russia-Ukrainian war has gone on 3+ years and has less civilian casualties than Israel’s recent massacres since Al Aqsa Flood which are 1/3 as old.

          Hopefully they’ll provide Ansarallah with advanced weapons which will lead to very cool things happening in and around the red sea.

          EDIT: or they could just start using non-nuclear weapons on NATO assets themselves

            The red sea stuff would be interesting and a more realistic option, but they won’t strike NATO because NATO would easily wipe the floor with Russia.

            Russia’s 3 day invasion has turned into a multi year disaster because they can’t fight against decade old NATO tech, they know they aren’t capable of besting NATO

              Other than Ukraine where Russia has gradually ground the UAF into dust when is the last time NATO equipment and tactics were used against a near peer?

              All NATO troops know how to do is massacre civilians and bomb militias.

                You think Russia is a peer to NATO? xD

                In this hypothetical situation where NATO and Russia fight, I really don’t think much man-to-man combat would happen. It would all be advanced weapons systems and drones, which Russia is significantly behind (decades) NATO.

                UAF has been ground in to dust but so has the Russian Armed Forces, at worst they are equally dust

                  Russian missile and drone technology is ahead of NATO. The west doesn’t even have hypersonic glides. Fucking DPRK has more advanced missiles than the US. You are woefully out of your depth here

                    Dang here I thought I just disagreed with you folks but your coming out spitting strait brain rot. Brother Russia can’t even produce semiconductors that are of this decades vintage, the DPRK can’t produce any advanced technology at all, and you think they can make superior weapons?

                    I believe Russia’s most advanced fabs can produce 90-nanometer chips, while the rest of the world is making sub 5 nanometer chips. Your cope is amusing

                  Are Patriot SAMs “old stock piles”? How about HIMARs? Keep coping, it’s NATOs main tech that has been defeated. If they had better drones, they would have used them by now

                    Yes HIMARS is old, Ukraine doesn’t have anywhere near any of the latest missiles for the HIMARA system. In fact, I think all the ATACMS we sent them are end of life and we’re about to be decommissioned.

                    Patriot is newer and has been working well, they just don’t have enough systems to cover all of Ukraine.

                    You seem to be the one coping, I haven’t once stated Ukraine has won or is winning and you keep saying Russia is winning when if you look at all the open source data, it’s obvious both sides are taking massive losses and nobody is winning.

      Yeah well up until Russia stops being sane, like the gerontocratic West has. For example, by assassinating Putin and having someone far more extreme take power.

      I don’t think we’re getting out of this one. This is the end of the line.
