    I want to see your reaction when China puts 83k troops in Cuba.

    Nah, I know exactly what you’re going to say.

              Did you know that Russia invaded Ukraine? Did you know Russia invaded Georgia? Did you know Russia invaded Crimea?

              You and your questions, playing some fantasy game of Risk, but in the future…can get bent.

                did you know that sending the goddamn US military there probably is going to make shit so much worse for civilians on both sides?

                like why do you think we’re going there for peaceful and benevolent reasons? We have literally never done that before.

                  I don’t know why you think the US would send it’s military to Ukraine for peacful reasons, and not to kill as many Russians as is necessary for the Russians to leave.

                  I don’t know why you think the US sending troops to help a sovereign nation protect itself from an invader is not benevolent.

                And that still doesn’t answer my question. You are staying facts. I’m not arguing that. What I’m simply asking is if this is worth the US getting into a hot war with Russia using nukes over? It very literally would bring WW3 and nuclear Armageddon. That is the plain and simple fact when the US commits troops to this quagmire. Are you personally prepared to die in a nuclear explosion in the name of protecting Ukraine’s sovereignty?

                But by all means, keep deflecting with irrelevant facts. It’s the sort of thing someone does when they have nothing intelligent to say

                    No I do not. And it’s why I don’t want the US provoking that exchange by engaging their own military in a war with Russia in some attempt to protect Ukraine’s sovereignty

                    Yes. Do you think it’s worth leaving 44 million people to be conquered by a fascist, genocidal regime because you’re scared some limp-dick dictator might follow through on his threats that have proven to be empty over and over again?

            So you are personally prepared to die over a few regions in Ukraine that want to be Russian? Do your friends and family know you’d like them to die or suffer a nuclear apocalypse so some insignificant corner of the world can finally be free from Russia, Ukraine, and Modern Civilization?

            Sounds like you didn’t pay attention to 20th century history so here’s the cliff items:

            Nuclear war = very bad. No winners. Most die. Civilization collapses. Mad max ensues

          If defending Ukraine from Russia will lead to nuclear warfare then failure to defend Ukraine will lead defending the US, which will lead to nuclear warfare. Putin has demonstrated that nothing will ever be enough for him. Remember when we tried letting him have what he wanted? That’s how we ended up here.

            What? That makes zero sense. You do realize that when the US, a nuclear power, enters troops into the Ukrainian conflict backing Ukraine, Russia, another nuclear power, will directly declare war on the us and that war will very quickly escalate into a nuclear exchange.

            I think you’re trying to say in some deranged way that if the us does nothing Russia will somehow decide to keep going (even though it’s proven they are having difficulty in Ukraine) and pick up more countries until they get to the us and decide to nuke it?

            You seem to think this is exactly like WW2 and Hitler but only superficially. Like you heard the WW2 talking points and distilled them into perfectly fitting here. Which yes, one country invading another is a similarity. However it’s a similarity with almost literally every conflict in the world.

              Oh yeah, the invader is a nuclear power…everyone let them invade!

              No. Screw Russia. They’re pathethic and getting a taste of their own medicine.

                So will you if a nuclear war is triggered. Do you really think protecting Ukraine’s sovereignty is worth burning down the world in an exchange of nuclear weapons?

        The US has been building military bases and positioning troops all over Russia for a veeery long time now, friend.

          Oh really? Can you name some of these US military bases within Russia?

          Aren’t you the guy that claimed you lived in the US and then claimed you live in Brazil just minutes later in a different post yesterday?

            I never claimed I live in the USA.

            You made the mistake of misunderstanding that, then I clarified and you’re here AGAIN making the same mistake. Completely on purpose. – I’ve made it clear in multiple posts that I live in Brazil, I’ve made no effort to hide that, I mention Brazil often and how you Americans should take a cue from us since we’ve actually made our Trump ineligible and we’ll send him to prison soon.

            But sadly we are strongly affected by all the mistakes you idiots do.

      If China sent 3k troops to Cuba I wouldn’t care. 83k would be alarming because a sudden change from 0 presence to a demographic group would make me worry China was invading Cuba.

      83k is a lot more than 3k. But you knew what when you started arguing in bad faith.

      The only people upset about this are those that want Putin to win.

        LOL

        something something you were being malicious

        Ok, so China puts 3k troops on Cuba every month, is that fine now?

        It also makes a deal with Canada and starts building military bases all around the US.
