    The libs keep telling me I must back the lesser of two evils, but then they get really mad when I tell them I want Russia to successfully repel NATO imperialism. Curious.

    Yesterday i clicked on Polish news feed in browser, on 10 articles first displayed, 3 were “Russia is finished”, “Russian economy is burning”, “Everyone in Russia is probably dead or ran away by now”, but on a small bar on the side: Ruble is rising lol

        They will just stop at some point and relegate it to past tense. Polish information bubble is way tighter than even USA one.

        Fun and games will starts if:

        • Ukronazis really launch terror attacks after inevitable “stab in the back rhetorics”
        • Poland gets piece of Ukraine
        • Both

            I seriously have no idea. I mean they do look fucking stupid and it surely is true for the most of govt but the current dictator Donald Tusk mostly just look like an idiot, but in reality he’s probably the shrewdest politician Poland seen for decades. Thing is, he might be only shrewdest for the internal political guerilla and “do upon you but faster 101” and still ride us into this complete catastrophe.

            I think the decision will be made in Washington anyway.

              I agree, nothing is likely to be done without US approval in the end. I also expect there’s going to be a huge fallout for the current political mainstream in Europe once Trump gets in. These people basically banked on US supporting the war to the bitter end, and then providing security for Europe after. When Trump abandons Europe, as he’s most likely to do, I think there going to be a lot of uncomfortable questions coming to the surface. There’s going to be economic devastation to answer for, and the threat of angry Russia next door.
