@GermanAf sucks a lot more to be a Ukrainian I'd bet. What with Russia killing, wen, and children as it tries to simply erase Ukraine as a nation and take it's territory for its own.

@McGeeisme oh absolutely but they don't use ruble! There's always someone who has a shittier day

@GermanAf Would have sucked even more if Trump was still US president. At least with Biden who has direct military experience and knowledge there's a good measured approach. Trump with his zionist-like isolationist approach effectively shutting the US off from the rest of the world would have made any global conflict 10x worse. Currently the Ukraine vs Russia business is NOT a global conflict. It's just an extension of the war that started in 2014 between those two sovereign states.

@zonavar68 Trump is a Putin puppet, his first impeachment trial was because he withheld $400m in funds for Ukraine so I have a vague idea what would be going on if he was still prez

@zonavar68 Putin very much wants to make it global.

@McGeeisme Not directly though - he's trying to tease NATO into militarily reacting. Putin wants to stop Ukraine becoming part of the NATO alliance which is a quasi-military bloc similar to how the EU is a unified trading bloc.

@GermanAf yeah, but we've got Joe now. Trump has no power now. We can forget about him for a bit.

@zonavar68 he also wants, has stated many times that he wants to being the nations that left the Soviet Union back under Russian control, to recreate the empire. Poland, a NATO state is in danger,Latvia, is in danger, all of the rest of them are in danger. He has made it clear that pretty much any effort, including supplying weapons and humanitarian aid, or using sanctions are to be considered acts of war.

@McGeeisme Putin a basically a neo-nazi like dictator. Just for the recond, so was Trump (and Trump still is - he'll never change).

@zonavar68 yep.
