Possible WW3 thread
Kat Kid:
I agree with MIR’s point that sanctions will be ineffective, Russia has already said that if the US Follows through with its threat to shut Russia out of the SWIFT financial transaction settlement system, they will just shut off the pipelines.
The real problem with trying to eff over Putin is that European countries don’t want the smoke because they know Russia has all the cards. They need Russia’s natural gas so the rest is just bullshit posturing. The Europeans are not going to face down a full blown energy crisis with the prospect of rolling black outs and cold homes in the winter because they want to help out Ukraine and keep NATO expanding.

I’m not saying Ukraine couldn’t surpass Russia at some point, but they are not close to that at all.

It's about Ukraine experiencing the kind of economic growth eastern europe has had over the last 30 years. Russia wouldn't be able to explain that away to their populace, thats why they are rough ridin' with Ukraine to keep them under their control so that their people dont start saying "Why the hell are our little slav bro's in Ukraine so much richer than us?"
Russia GDP per capita in 1991 - $3493
Poland GDP per capita in 1991 - $2236
Russia GDP per capita in 2020 - $10,127
Poland GDP per capita in 2020 - $15,656

France is pissed at the UK. Germany says none of its arms can be used, other NATO members want no part of this.
Yet you clowns worried about Trump. #LOL, classic.
Meanwhile the ancient and insane Russophobe Bloc in our bureaucracy still hold the clown president’s ear.

I know you weren’t paying attention but #blueanonGe lost their mind over Trump and NATO.
Now the contradictory rhetoric of the Clown Car president and the bellicose proclamations of Boris Johnson and the British. Likely acting as a proxy since so many Americans (not named #blueanon) are tired of the repetitive “Hitler of our time” Bullshit.
Has caused more splinters in NATO then ever could have ever been imagined.
