THIS IS A NON-BIRTHER PIT THREAD
So, you guys remember that feeling I had before Conference Armageddon, where I just knew crap was going to spiral out of control and many were going to be completely mumped?
Well, I have it again and it's about the Ukraine creating World War 3.
In ignoring President Barack Obama's Friday warning to keep out of Ukraine, Russia looks to be precipitating the greatest crisis in Russia-Western relations since at least the fall of the Berlin Wall.
How events play out in the next few days could help shape the geopolitical map for years to come.
Any Western direct military action would risk a war between nuclear superpowers. Ukraine's relatively small and underequipped forces could take action but would risk inciting a much wider Russian invasion that could overrun the country.

I am pretty worried about this, actually. Thank God they are not in NATO, because maybe we can just ignore them getting raped by Russia and go about our business.

i say let them do whatever they want to ukraine

Definitely on team stay out of it. Send aid and such through back channels or something I guess.

tough call. Ukraine isn't worth WWIII tho, but I hate seeing people dicked on hard.

I completely agree. I just hope everyone else agrees to let them get raped.

We should just let the UN security counsel make the call on this. They won't do anything, and we get to act like we are letting the international community do it's thing.
Regarding our threat to Russia, we should just slap some tarriffs on them and say "There, we told you'd we do something if you invaded Ukraine" and call it a day.

LOL, this thing is going to be over fast. Nothing to see here...I was totally wrong.
The newly appointed head of Ukraine's navy has sworn allegiance to the Crimea region, in the presence of its unrecognised pro-Russian leader. Rear Admiral Denys Berezovsky was only made head of the navy on Saturday, as the government in Kiev reacted to the threat of Russian invasion.

Depends what the final goal is. I dont want it to be the end of dash cams.
But it would probably be similar to this

If you asked me to list three Ukrainian things, I don't know if I could get past "wheat" and "Russia?" I'm even uncertain about the definite article.

I'd suggest they take the surrender route here.

Half of the Ukranians want the Rooskies there, FWIW.

as a polish man, I agree.

In 1994 Russia, U.S., France, China and U.K. signed a treaty agreeing to give Russia Ukraine's nuclear weapons in exchange for mutual defense if any of the 5 powers invaded Ukraine.
Good luck getting anyone to sign a non-proliferation treaty now. :lol:

That's like saying half the people in Arizona want to be part of mexico.
And it's much less than half. More like half the region, which is about 10% of the population.

This is so endearing. I erased the "tho" b/c I started to write something different. Then after I posted, I wished I'd changed it. Finger on the pulse, MIR.

when I think of protecting civilians(what putin claims he is doing), surrender or "storm" is like #1 or #2 that comes to mind.

Really for another thread, but what territories do you see China conquering in the next 50 years?
They are in a tough conference surrounded by Russia, Japan, India, Pakistan, Koreas, and Australia...might be missing someone...nukes and religions abound..
It's still the PAC though. They'll put some impressive numbers up, but that's about it.
Country realignment will shake things up in a few years. Jason Shuttlecocksworth says it's a lock that Germany and England are headed to Asia, although some legislators are trying to force Asia to also accept Wales, Scotland, and Northern Ireland, which Asia doesn't want.
That is a problem. Germany will not leave without England. Those two hate each other passionately, but they will not give up their rivalry.
Supposedly Northern Ireland is in talks with Africa, which might scuttle the deal.

always thought Russia and Ukraine were just FWB. didn't know it was a full blown relationship.

They were just FWB, but as often happens, Russia thought they had something more, and now that Ukraine wants to cut them off, it's gone abusive.
-
a little OT but how many Nukes do you think would be launched during WWIII? would there be a prop bet a bovada for it?

If we do ever go to war with Russia, we'll literally have to exterminate their whole country. They are a terrifying people.

Unless they are Russian coworkers (my condolences if they are), they will probably agree with you that the Ukraine is its own country with its own flag and olympic team and everything.
