If thats your logic then A much safer option would be Putin and Biden having a boxing match to decide what happens to eastern europe :lol2:


Oh crap Putin would probably win that.

Can we select a different Nato Nation Leader for the West in the boxing fight?
Luxembourg's luck has finally turned in their favor, and the German nation has forced to concede to a collaboration government with the Luxembourgish, creating the great nation of Luxenermy. Now, that luck has extended to the German people as well. A great time for both peoples.

Agreed with Hinzland, take care!
- Snowland / the Snowish Republic -

Snowland, officially the Snowish Republic, is a country located in two entire planets. Snowland is a socialist state, with multiple political parties, but all being a different type of socialism. Snowland contains both humans and furries.

If you have any suggestions for what I could add to my factbooks, you can DM me what the suggestion is, and I'll see if I'll use it or not. No fascist nations allowed, not even if you don't believe in your nation's ideals.

Other account with Snowland as its name (currently dead): Snowland | I don't think this nation represents my views? I don't think? Probably not.

Those nukes can't be used, Russia had the launch codes. They are as useful as radioactive bricks.

Then you must be quite naïve. Have you been checking out what it actually says ? Hint: you can put it close to 1 on 1 with what has been happening for the last 25 years.

In brief: Ukraine holds Donetsk, victory in Chernyhiv, and Kyiv bombing is on and off again. It doesn’t seem like Russia is in a position to take Kyiv in the next few hours, there’s been a lot of setbacks and the continuation of strikes means they aren’t about to move troops in. Not the one-day war it was shaping up to be, and Zelensky lives. It’s getting late, but hopefully things don’t take a turn for the worse by the morning.

Edit because I need to clarify: I’m watching this on a livestream! I’m from North America and you shouldn’t worry about me being hit by a stray missile from halfway across the globe.

It would take Russia commiting literal warcrimes on a scale too large to ignore for a 24-hour war

And reversing the codes for those nukes required a lot of money that Ukraine didn't have. Decommissioning them was the only logical solution for those nukes.

One of his books being used does not mean they believe everything he advocated.

Heinlein is used in US military contexts but that does not mean everything he advocated is US policy.

Of course Heinlein was not a raving lunatic like Dugin but still the point stands.

Dugin is hostile to traditional Christianity and believes in Chaos magic winning wars but Russia is not doing that stuff either.

They could have changed the codes. Nukes aren't to be ever used, they are a deterrent. But evil Bill Clinton promised the Ukrainians security knowing it was a lie. Now they don't even have a deterrent.
