It's always an option.

But it's an option in the same way that cutting your foot off, and getting "I heart Adolf" tattooed on your forehead is an option.

If someone's thinking of invading Russia, they're fucking braindead. That's never worked, Putin knows this, and he's damn good at what he does. Nukes? Perhaps, but we still have MAD for the most part.

Yes. We recognize Russia's sphere of influence in exchange for Russia recognizing ours.

We let the Ukrainians decide their own fate, even if we might think some of their leaders are gullible.

He's effective at oppressing and murdering people. Equality is always above culture, and I'd rather be dead than be a rightist fascistic fucktard like Putin is.

It's not simple to move out of a country, you know that right?

You need to get citizenship, have the money to move you and your belongings.

Despite all the talk and a few hawkers in the corners, the United States and its allies won't do a thing to Russia over the Ukraine.

Democracies will not vote to sacrifice millions of their own citizens to fight and die in some far away country against a decently armed opponent (Russia is not some Third World country ripe for bullying, regime change and economic colonialism) and risk nuclear holocaust.

They'll talk, but they won't do a thing.

Russia on the other hand, with a firm leader at the helm and a nationalistic citizenry, is well-positioned to benefit from this kind of brinksmanship behavior. Putin is playing his cards right, in exact and calculated response to the weakness of the Western allies.

It doesn't matter that the West has more weapons, more money, more technology. Putin knows where they are weak... their political system and the inability of their citizens to stomach a real war. He knows the Vote will keep the West's soldiers a paper tiger.

In the mean time, he's using realpolitiks and careful maneuvering to regain the lost territories of the former Soviet Union. I think in time he will succeed and be remembered as a great Russian leader.

I predict there won't be a war or a Western military intervention. The West only interferes in wars against enemies who can't really fight back except through guerilla tactics. We've seen this in Korea, the West backed out soon after China entered. When the USSR invaded Afghanistan, the USA, despite their rhetoric, did not directly fight the Soviets.

The USA's not going to push against Russia. Worst case scenario, it starts arming rebels (who will later down the road, oppose the USA once their political goals don't align, just like the Taliban in Afghanistan).

That's how I see it.

So what you are saying is that just because Putin and his cronies are extremely fucking homophobic, people have to leave their entire lives behind?

there's not much profit in a war where you actually stand to lose stuff. That's the thing about war, you have to make it unprofitable in order to avoid it. Sure war creates a lot of money for the military industrial complex, but that money never goes back to the people.

considering how precarious the dollar is right now, I have to wonder if they'll just go for it. the American people are largely war weary, so it would take some kind of false flag to get them willing to commit to more bloodshed.

if they so choose to. the state doesn't really give a fuck about its citizens, only about what they can produce for the state. I have to wonder if Putin is just being ant-gay pride parade(that's really the only thing Russia is lacking and for the better if you ask me) just to piss off the West. It would make sense.
