too busy keeping an eye on our own fifth column, and potential collaborators/quislings should things go “there” .

Considering Trump’s reaction to retaliation against his own divine authority, is to flip the fuck out and escalate.

“HOW DARE YOU RESIST”

Good morning American Neighbors. Have you classified me and mine as threats to your world hegemony National security yet?

Ukraine should be under no obligation to adhere to a negotiation about its own fate when two Warmongeirng, Untrustworthy, Imperialistic actors are speaking about them, without them.

this is the type of shit you start making preparations for an Underground army for. like the Poles did in the 40s. Prepare for perpetual war against the aggressor.

I know this is the meme and shitpost place but some lurker might have some insight.

I actually still use IE from time to time when Im trying to watch a movie or whatnot. I have 2 screens and 2 sets of speakers, call them left and right. When streaming I treat the left like a TV. with its own audio direction

but to do this I have to run it through a different browser, and then I have the volume mixer set to output Internet explorer audio through the secondary speakers.

someone know a way of doing it on a tab basis. maybe? In chrome

for four years. a temporary matter. they went right back to being in a hostile competition for spheres of influence a few weeks or months after V-E day however.

I dont know. you tell me. Outside of the thunderdome in the middle east. whens the last time there was a major conflict with dozens of nations and more than two major ideoligies at play.

If you’re asking in good faith. World War II’s situation was largely unprecedented.
Unlike WWI Where Imperial Russia and France were allied. Soviet Russia was not allied with France, Britain, or western Europe.

I can ask for a cup of sugar from the neighbor who I wrecked the car of last month. that neighbor is still within his reasonable rights to tell me to fuck off

the lib gives the gun to the fascist the fascist shoots the lib in the back of the head twice, the fasicst then gaslights the marxist into believing the lib committed self harm

The Soviet Union was not entitled to an alliance with partners they were at war with only a decade prior. Britain and France were at war with the entity that would become the Soviet Union until 1922, There was no reason to Trust an alliance from a state that was ideologically opposed to them and wanted to destroy their way of life.

But the Victim complex from the Russians is a venerable beast, it was as relevant in 1925 as it was in 2025.

The Soviet Union. Or more accuratley, RUSSIA was one of the two aggressors that Started the second world war.

Furthermore, they were not an ally, but a co-belligerent. Why else did the free world go from a period of direct confrontation and war in the 20s, to Cold war in the 30s. to temporary truce for 4 years from 1941 to 1945. right back to Cold war with Moscow from 1945 till 1991? (and then another temporary truce from 1991 until about 2008) right back to more or less being de facto at war with each other again since 2014

And you can’t pin tens of millions of your own people, with Purges, Pogroms, Mentally handicapped suicidal orders. And general paranoid hysterical incompetnece. and blame those on the germans.

especially when large percentages of those people were colonized nations that wanted nothing to do with the Bolshevik Russian Imperial rule (Belarusians, Ukrainians, Poles, Balts etc and were just used like buffers and meat shields)

10 years ago, it was a night and day better world state.

Even Trump 1.0, the worst thing in the world at the time was the ISIS threat. In Trump 2.0, We live in a world with

• WW3 Basically in its opening stage in Ukraine, Russia is pretty much fucked, but NATO is fucked too now that the US is run by someone who hates it
• Post Covid destruction of the economy
• The billionares have turned megalomaniac and wormed their way into government ears
• The US had an attempted Coup, the person who organized it is now the POTUS. and the people who participated in it are on the streets
• the gradual increase of uneducated stupidity through social media and MSM TV Brainrot.

We’ve basically been in a spiral towards armageddon this decade, the 2020s are BRUTAL compared to the mid 2010s.

Elon literally built a doomsday retreat in Texas, where most of the women he’s fathered children live. as well as most of his children.
some notable exceptions, Grimes isnt there, nor the child who became Trans. for obvious reasons

within the next decade?

We’re already most of the way there. Inept, Incompetent, and overtly corrupt governments engraging the population homelessness, unemployment, unpopular immigration and costs of necessities going haywire trade wars brewing, Oh, and World War III is basically already in it’s pre-game show stage with the fighting in Europe.

I’m at the point where Im expecting it any day. the US is just one bad move away from causing an all out revolt, because part of its population rightly thinks that the new admnistration is full of mobsters, tyrants, and fascists.

Google has no spine. When Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014, they reclassified Crimea as Russian territory on the localized Russian version, and in a lot of locales they either flag it as disputed territory, or territory belonging to no nation.

you bet your ass they’re going to do whatever Daddy tells them when it comes to the US. Lmao.

America isn’t a sovereign nation anymore, its a slave state beholden to Corpo Syndicates, The Russian Mafia, and Israel. Trump is just a dumbass they put in front of the camera to serve as a public face to the shadow mafia.

because maybe those american values are fundementally poisoned?

I dont think you understand how “Amazon” exists as we know it.

Amazon, the store. the store that sells stuff at “unbeatable” prices and has convenient fast shipping options. exists because Amazon, the corporation, makes most of its money through platforms that are NOT the store.

for example the AWS division, which handles web hosting, Makes money hand over fist compared to the store. so they can afford to sell stuff at either a loss, or breaking even. (and they’re still somehow making money off the ordeal. dont ask me where)

Its hard to make a competitor to Amazon because you’d need a surrogate company constantly feeding it money to stay afloat. Amazon the store, is a facade of a larger corporation

At what point is someone going to tell Donald that the end result of pushing and pushing on this narrative to the point of realization… Is going to result in Article 5 being activated, Europe and NATO formally going to war against the US, and the US tearing itself apart as factions decide to move to the Ammo box after the soap, ballot and jury boxes failed.

This is absolutely a red line. and it will cause a civil war. as well as the total destruction of the world order. Xi and Putin may end up getting so erect that they die of heart attacks.

OK. good. good.

America hasn’t had to deal with the recieving end of Imperialism for almost 250 years. (its been on the giving end of it for the last century) America is in no position, not Trump, not Elon, not Biden, not the dude that just wants to grill. None of them are in a position to tell someone not to fight for freedom, when there is an actual threat of losing ones freedom and sovereignty. Most western countries have long forgotten what the struggle is all about because they’ve had their freedom for centuries.

Ukraine’s fight has been going on for centuries, but 2022-Present has been the defining moment of that fight.

If you aren’t going to help, shut the fuck up, and fuck off and let the rest of us handle it. Ukraine isn’t going to stop fighting for its existence just because Part of America is tired and upset about superficial things like egg prices. If America isn’t going to carry the torch of Liberty, there are plenty of others willing to take it from here.

Im not convinced that China will ultimately stay “allied” to Russia. the CCP is incredibly obstinent, and Russians are incedibly racist, they hate China, they hate the fact that China has been taking over east asia (including the colonized parts of Russia) for years up to this, they’ve fought serious border wars against each other. they say they’re allies, but its only for the camera, the only reason Russia isn’t openly regarded as a Chinese satellite state, is the nuclear arsenal. Russia’s economy is smaller than Italy, it has a relatively large population of old and poor people, its military is eviscerated, and it’s used up pretty much all of the diplomatic capital it had in the world by going on an imperialist genocide.

and until Im proven wrong, the Republican party in the US seems to have nothing but hatred for China, and nothing but footsie flirtation for Russia. I think I read somewhere back during Trump’s first term that they were trying to “court Russia to be America’s ally so that in the future they could both fight China” Not giving a F about how Russia is seen by Europe, (and in hindsight other than getting the nukes off the table, its a braindead alliance plan, Russia cooked itself trying to colonize Ukraine, and pissed off europe to the point they started re-arming, making them the military power of the continent again. Strategically, if we’re disregarding the openly kleptocratic tendancies of Mobsters and Oligarchs running both countries, making people like Putin, Trump, and Musk ridiculously wealthy… Russia has nothing to contribute to America other than taking 3000 nukes out of the equation, and guess what, China and America still have enough to wipe each other out)

Israel and America are largely the same entity.

Iran and Russia are diplomatically, the same entity, Russia’s closest ally isn’t the fake, for the cameras relationship with China, their closest Ally is Iran
