@kamalchandramoney3541 The United States forces defeated the Taliban and drove them from power in weeks. Fact that after 20 years they left after getting fed up waiting for the Afghan military and government to get their act together doesn't change that. And funny how you Russian trolls forget how the Russian led Soviet military struggled for years in Afghanistan. Guess that's because it was a complete disaster and led to the disintegration of the Soviet Union. And actually NATO intervention ended a genocidal war in the former Yugoslavia. How are Russian attempts to create a horrific civil war in Sudan going? I hear that Russia has achieved great success in creating misery in Sudan.

@SkywalkerPaul But if Finland hits a major Russian city and Russia responds by hitting Helsinki then it is no longer a little skirmish over an isolated northern territory. Once news reports show horrible damage and victims of a Russian attack in Helsinki then it's much more likely that other NATO countries get involved.

 @12zaf1 It's actually not been definitively decided if Russian tank turrets or Russian missiles reach a higher altitude.

@u2beuser714 Now you're just ranting meaningless words. Did you understand what people explained to you about the difference in attitude and sanity between Putin and western leaders or is it just too hard for you to understand?

@marcovanwijnen6840 I never heard anyone say that China would definitely invade Taiwan in 2023. Don't know who you've been listening to. Most I've heard is some people saying that it is possible that China might attempt to invade Taiwan within a decade.

@showdown66 The idea of war between Russia and NATO is not laughable. Nothing at all funny about it. And your post seems to indicate that you didn't watch the video. Consider watching it so that you hear some of the nuanced discussion.

It was obvious for years that for whatever reason Trump wants to cause devastating damage to the United States. But now it is becoming more apparent that he wants to cause devastating damage to the entire world.

Quite a long rant you put out today. Do you get paid by the word?

@Lost-In-Blank Rwanda is a disturbing analogy though as sad and horrible as it is predominantly white western countries care more about well to do, white Europeans than they do about Black Africans.

@u2beuser714 Putin is an aggressive Imperialist who is happy to threaten nuclear annihilation for the world if he doesn't get his way. Western leaders on the other hand are very worried about escalation to a nuclear conflict which is why they were so reluctant for so long to give Ukraine the military equipment and supplies it needed. So a big difference.

 @denniscrork318 Russian troll completely lacking any morality, credibility or self respect identified.

@u2beuser714 Congratulations - you're going full bore Russian troll now. Not even trying to hide it. "Democracies are weak so we must crush them". Spoken like a true Russian barbarian troll. Politicians in western European countries are focused on making sure that most of their people are well off and that all of their people have working electricity and don't think much about invading neighbouring countries to try to crush them. Hopefully some day Russian politicians will become civilized and think like that but for now Russian people have to stay impoverished and often in the dark with no heat and with the constant threat of being conscripted and killed in yet another stupid, pointless Russian invasion of another country. Quite sad and pitiful.

@riskinhos Why do most of you Russian trolls want so much to have the world (including your beloved Russia) destroyed in a nuclear war? Are things really so bad now in Russia that you all would prefer nuclear annihilation to continuing to live in Russia? It's really quite sad to think how bad things must be in Russia now.

 @riskinhos Still ranting about nuclear war destroying the world Russian troll? Sounds very juvenile.

This is worrying. I had thought of a more limited scenario in which Russia accidentally, on purpose, sends a missile into Poland to hit a farm field just to see what NATO would do and if NATO did not respond with any action then Russia might gradually work up to more serious attacks on a NATO country hoping that as long as it does so gradually NATO countries will never see a sudden dramatic escalation by Russia that makes them all get involved. Sort of like the "friend" you have who starts out by asking you for small favours and keeps asking for slightly bigger favours until one day he's living in your house and asking you to loan him money to help him make his car payment for the month. Most countries in Europe have presumed that the days of fighting a major war with massive casualties in Europe are in the past and certainly may be reluctant to get involved in a major conflict with Russia over a relatively minor incursion in a remote area. Though especially if Ukraine does get aid and continues to fight on at least another year I would think that the Russian military and Russia in general will be in such bad shape that even risking a war with NATO would seem to be very reckless for Russian leaders. I'm thinking of how after the Spanish civil war Spain was in such bad shape that Franco refused to get involved in WW2 even when it appeared that Germany and Italy were achieving great success and dominating Europe. It's true that as there has been little fighting on Russian territory Russia is not in as bad shape as was Spain in 1940 but then Russia risking a war with all of NATO is a much bigger risk than Spain appeared to face if it had joined Germany and Italy in the summer of 1940 when they had no serious opposition in mainland Europe. On the other hand Putin is an Imperialist and I think that by 1940 Spain had given up serious Imperialist ambitions. One thing is that it's hard to see even Putin risking getting tangled in a war with NATO while the Russian military is still struggling in Ukraine and it's not clear yet what would lead to the Ukrainian war ending unless Trump wins the presidency and actively supports Russia in the war but I believe that a majority of American politicians still do not want Russia to win the war. Especially if Biden wins the election the war in Ukraine could still be going on three years from now and I don't think that much at all would be left of the Russian ground military by then. For that matter even if the war goes on another 18 months I don't think that there will be much left of the Russian ground military. Maybe that would make China think that it is the perfect time to invade Eastern Russia and take back the territory that Russia took from China in the 1800s.
