Ryuu96 said: All these years of peace have made those in Western Europe and America absolutely terrified to make even the slightest bit of an uncomfortable decision out of fear that their cosy lives will be ruined. Eastern Europe has fear too but they use their fear to take this seriously, they know what Russia is like, they have more experience than all of us in America and Western Europe with Russia's atrocities and so they use their fear to fight back, us in Western Europe and America use our fear to cower and try to negotiate with Hitler the 2nd. And America, France, UK, Germany have their secret meetings because they think countries like Poland, The Baltics, etc. Are too "aggressive" or "escalatory" so they exclude them entirely. It's utterly pathetic. Funny thing is, we never had "peace" just the illusion of it, as we looked the other way while Russia committed hybrid war on our countries in the forms of influencing our elections, assassinating people in our countries, sabotaging military facilities and storages, trying to assassinate CEOs of arms manufacturers. I thought this what Zalzhnyi said was spot on.
Does America think that North Korea will be fighting alongside Russia just for fun? Do they think North Korea even fucking knows who Ukraine are? No, the only reason North Korea is joining this fight is because they see Ukraine as America and they want to destroy all things America. They will fight in Ukraine becauswe they hate America, not because they hate Ukrainians, they don't have a fucking clue about Ukrainians but all they see is "America backing them" and that's enough for them to join up with Russia, plus whatever Russia gives in them in exchange, which will be used to threaten South Korea. If North Korea's reason for getting involved is their hatred of America then this is very much America's battle too. |
On one hand I want Ukraine to deplore Russia using these troops as a way to get the United States to concede on the use of long range missles. But the logical side of my brain realizes that with the current rate of Russian casualties, that these 12k troops will only last 9 days or so. They are essentially meaningless in the big picture..
