US Foreign Policy 3.0: We're The Mets of International Diplomacy

[Handyman]

That is assuming we all live and Putin doesn’t take out the world in a grand exit.

Honestly...I think if it came to that his own people would show him the **ahem** window!

Fox justifies its entire existence with the greatest ad placement in history.

It says “Fox”.

I would hope but I don’t have that.

It’s a real possibility that a tactical nuke gets set off and everything spirals out of control.

Even better. (Fixed.)

It always has been, but the Righties on the web fapping to it now is a real eye-opener.

Apparently Freud was right after all about the death wish, at least for Dumpies.

It makes sense life's losers want to kick over the board.

Nah, LynahFan told me it was insane to even bring up the possibility. Apparently the odds of Russia nuking Ukraine are the same as US nuking NZ.

Russia already has the churches telling people they’ll go to heaven if they die in a nuclear war.

Christian churches have been telling their congregation they will go to heaven if they kill communists for as long as there have been communists.

[Kepler]

"Preparations for the slaughter of human beings have always been made in the name of God or of some alleged higher being which mankind has, in its imaginativeness, devised and created.

When criminals are hanged, priests always officiate, annoying the malefactors by their presence.

The shambles of the Great War would have been incomplete without the blessings of the clergy. The chaplains of all armies prayed and celebrated mass for the victory of the side whose bread they ate. A priest was in attendance when mutineers were executed. A priest put in his appearance at the execution of Czech legionaries.

Millions of men went to the shambles like pigs driven by butchers, who included not only emperors, kings and other potentates, but also priests of all denominations. Mass at the front was always said twice. When a contingent was moving up to the front line and then again before going over the top, before the bloodshed and slaughter."

Ukraine army estimates Russian casualties now exceed 240,000.

[rufus]

Last number I saw of Russian killed was approaching, or maybe even higher, than the number we had killed in Vietnam.

After how many years of fighting?

1958 - 1973?

Compared to 7 months.

We had killed, or we killed? At the memorial, there are not even 60k names there. There's an estimate that just over 200k S Vietnamese were killed.

But 240k is a significant portion of russia- which is only 144M before the pandemic. And if the public statistics are right- they lost 380k during the pandemic. So they are approaching their pandemic losses. But instead of the older side, this is very much the younger side- good for the future.

And 1M North Vietnamese.

And we thought we were gonna beat them. A pile of little arms. SMH.
