Republicans and Democrats have decided to jointly start WW3. I was watching Hannity on FOX News last night, and he had several Republicans and talk show pundits on there. All of them were pushing for US military involvement.
The biggest idea that I have heard, one that 72% Americans support, is a no fly zone. A no fly zone means that anything flying over Ukraine would have to be shot down. As soon as a NATO aircraft shoots down a Russian aircraft, it’s on. Russia will surely down a few NATO aircraft. On top of it, it’s pretty likely that NATO airfields would receive attention from Russian missiles and aircraft. NATO is now in a full on war. What if the Russians sink a US aircraft carrier? How will US citizens respond to the loss of 6,000 sailors?
If that isn’t enough, Marco Rubio has decided that he wants to simultaneously take on China.
So then what? You think the supply chain issues are bad now, you ain’t seen nothin’ yet. As for me, I have been buying stock in oil companies and agriculture companies.

Fuck me.
I thought Putin made it clear that sort of action puts nukes on the table because he’d regard it as an existential threat. Stupid and evil sums it up.

It’s like The Hunt for Red October in real life:

Months, maybe years ago, I thought we’d hit peak stupid.
It’s dismaying to find that it can always get worse.
Every day I hear some numbnuts on talk radio gibbering about how we should do a “lend-lease” with Poland – They give Ukraine their soviet jets, we give them shiny new ones.
Poles aren’t stupid. That’s a flat-out act of war. The sad sorry thing here is Putin’s conditions to stop hostilities aren’t unreasonable.
Oh..and it won’t be only one aircraft carrier. If they have to go that way, I’d bet they go big.

You know what other term I hear parroted every day?
“Unprovoked Attack”. Putin attacked Ukraine for no reason whatsoever.
Thing is he had plenty of reasons and he was very clear about them.

Not particularly good reasons in my opinion, but that’s irrelevant.
Something I’ve been trying to beat into people’s skulls is that it doesn’t MATTER what we think, but what the Russians and Putin think. They think they’re being encircled, they’re gonna react.
Regardless of whether we had good intentions or not, their interpretation is ‘this is bad’ and they acted accordingly. And the Top. Men. ™ in the Beltway act like they have no idea why it occurred.

Maybe this will change your mind (or not) but it does list out the timeline of the US screwing over RUS

The Stupid Ones are taking your/our belief that they can’t get any stupider as a challenge. “hold my beer and watch this shit” is their new motto.

Was Hannity’s forever guest and warmonger, Lindsey Graham on? I only ask because I can’t stand to watch Vannity.
Divemedic · March 8, 2022 at 10:00 am
Yep sure was

Hannity is a moronic cunt.

This one is priceless on media lies. The vid clip of the “corpse” is funnier than hurricane weather reporters. Probably going to be gallows humor, but still.

Loss of a naval battle is traditional when a country loses reserve currency status.
Republicans and Democrats have decided to jointly start WW3.
Losing reserve currency status and subsequent hyperinflation is a secret libertarian plan to destroy government logistics by making tax collection impractical. WW3 is a secret libertarian plan to get government installations and their big city voting bases nuked.
If the ruling class was actually competent then generations 4 and 5 of the Kennedys and Bushes would be jockeying to be king, with Chelsea Clinton as consort.

Great, let’s piss off Xi now, too. Maybe we can get some shitlib sorority girls to stand in front of the Capitol with a cutesy “welcome nukes” banner, since a large contingent of Americants really are that fucking stupid. That’ll make for a nice photo op that any surviving shitlords can meme. On stone tablets, most likely.
I’m not a naturally positive sort, so this is out of character for me, but I’ll try to find a silver lining here: green energy is probably dead once this shakes out. Of course, a lot of things will be dead right along with it.
Someone needs to go by Ellis Island and replace that shitty poem by emma lazarus with a plaque that reads “You finally really did it. You blew it up, you maniacs. Damn you. Goddamn you all to hell!” May as well get that out of the way now while it can still be done.

Mark Levin, on his radio show, seems to have a thirst for war.
Divemedic · March 9, 2022 at 1:10 pm
I agree. Those who don’t have to fight are frequently on board with sending others to do so.
He simply waves off the possibility of high casualty counts and nukes.
