Biden backed himself in to a corner.  He’s too arrogant to walk away.

Some proxy weapons-supplying by the West but no troops.

The US will sit this one out after NYC gets destroyed in a surprise attack that erases it and the US dollar from the world economic stage.  Within the span of an hour it will meet its fate.

No. It won’t be a word war. Just a regional conflict.

People keep saying Biden is too weak to go to war. That's not the problem. It's Biden's weakness that'll start the war. It's his weakness that emboldens Putin to take Ukraine and China to take Taiwan. It'll embolden them to do other things and simultaneously fail to bring our allies together. His weakness is perfect for starting both a world war and a civil war. There's no winning a civil war (sort of) but his weakness would certainly never allow us to win a world war.

No, but the odds are increasing daily. Chatter out of DC is now the potential 5k deployment could be upped '10 fold'.

China amping up sorties over Taiwan. Joe helping to create a very dangerous for us, that neither he nor his brain trust are capable of managing.

Germany is not on board with this. France (Macron) and UK (BoJo) are as anxious as Joe to distract from their domestic unpopularity.

Just look at how well British Prime Minister Chamberlain worked things out with Hitler in the 30’s.

That's pretty much my read on it too. Biden's ineptitude and fecklessness are just begging those regimes to 'push the envelope'....after he has demonstrated his unwillingness to stand firm on what has (up until now) been our diplomatic standpoints.

Me? I'm just a hiden' and a watchin'.

nope.

large scale warfare is bad for the global economy, and pretty much every major power is led by greedy weasels whose primary motivation is increasing personal wealth and power

There’s just too much money for the Democrats to make off of delivering big defense spending to their choice of companies, which they happen to have investments in, and the opportunity to strip more freedoms from the citizenry with restrictions to materials for the war effort to let this slip away from them.

Think WWII where companies where told to shut down production of their products to retool for sending food and products to the troops, along with setting up camps for ethnicities they felt were a ‘threat’.

If only we had an example to compare to.....


One country that want's more land & resources in Europe.  A different one that feels entitled to more in Asia.....     Rest of the world with weak leadership trying to pacify & hesitant to resort to hard choices.  You let them take a little & nothing happens......  yep definitely won't grab any more.   We'll be late to the party as usual, but it's going to kick off anyway

Yep, a real head scratcher.  

History doesn't change much because people don't change much.

Or perhaps it will all be a giant nothingburger and everyone will back down like what happened in Syria when they had that little "chemical warfare incident."

@Hesperus

I believe it was Bob Woodward that claimed the reason we backed down then was because Russia told us if our ships launched strikes that nuclear weapons would be used against them. I have no way of knowing if that's accurate or if he just made it up to sell his book.

I had my Browning 1910 out of the safe earlier and joked to the girlfriend that if I could find an Austrian prince I could start WW3.

Its inevitable that ww3 will happen, but who knows when, my guess is in the next 25 years, but not for at least 5 years.

Nobody in the West is willing to go nuclear to save Ukraine.  

As a result, Putin will take it if he feels like it.  Biden already told him that we're not willing to fight.

Do you think the French and British wanted to lose a million dead soldiers each to save Serbia?

Nukes are a deterrent, but people thought the carnage of WWI was also a deterrent to end all wars at the time.

So Russia takes Ukraine with no NATO resistance. Then China takes Taiwan. And because history repeats itself, a new Zimmerman telegrapm comes up with Russian/Chinese commies wanting to stir up trouble in Mexico to cause aggressive acts towards the US to keep us out of the war. Luckily for them communication lines are way more private than they were in 1917. So we finally go deal with the border issue we've been needing to while China and Russia do whatever the fuck the want without of threat of American nukes.

And there are probably some South American countries that don't like they can't send their deplorables here, and cause conflicts throughout.

There can be a WWIII as long Russia, China, US don't have a direct front with each other.

This shit is just posturing.   Potatoes doesnt care about Ukraine, he just wants to distract form his failures.  Putin will take what he wants and noone will do anything about it.  Putin just has to figure out how much the EU will allow him to take without a response.  Rinse and repeat every 5 years.

No, Russia will take Ukraine and Joe will send a nasty letter and the world will go on.
