Which is probably for the best considering the US position for an end to the ukraine war involves an end to ukraine.
Nobody has the intention to invade Ukraine
- Thread starter Nevermore
- Start date
Sounds like Russia's military-industrial complex has basically completely taken over the economy over there and is now another roadblock to try to work around besides whatever ambitions Putin has.
Russian warship fires warning shots near UK-registered yacht in Channel
The retired couple tell BBC Newsnight they tried to show the warship they had changed course in the English Channel before the shots were fired.

If russia starts WW3, it lasts about two weeks, including the time it takes to rally the world against them.
Depends if there's still anyone reasonable enough to keep Trump's tiny hands off the nuke codes. He's stupid and impulsive enough to think it's a good idea.
No.
The incentive is to NOT use nukes, no matter the propaganda. No one can rule over an airless radioactive rock, and no one wants to claim territory that isn't useable. Russia won't start world war 3 because it will 1.) expose how poorly prepared, equipped and maintained they actually are, 2.) they know they will lose. I mean, everyone loses, russia will lose the most because it will be impossible to hide who started it.
As it stands, russia wants a ground war only because putin is a fuckwit intent on things he cannot, will not have.
Yeah, trump is a problem with nukes (because he's obsessed with power he's too stupid to understand.), but it would also be against russia: his owner. He won't be participating. And if he is, it'll be FOR russia, and his regime is incompetent anyway.
Besides, everyone is watching the pentagon right now: the second another high up get bounced and it hits the media it was because he refused to launch nukes on trumps order: the world will be screaming for vonschitsinpants head.
While you aren't underestimating trumps stupidity and incompetence: you are underestimating the rest of the world. I know you don't get to really see it from inside the US, but the rest of us are out here trying to reinforce stability.

Musk getting revenge for the drop in traffic to Twitter after the datacenter strikes? Though it looks like the Russian troll traffic drop was just a coincidence or misreading of data per The Guardian:
Did Ukrainian strikes on Russian datacentres reduce online disinformation?
While some viral online graphs suggest less bot activity, Zelenskyy’s claims of improved social media discourse do not entirely pass muster

Though TBF yandex is also more than a search engine, so it may have had some effect regardless:

@nuintari @evacide It's much more than a jivety search engine. They are essentially a digital extension of our government, one of the two. A huge part of our websites went down due to being hosted...

So it might not have been bots, but actual people doing the posts who lost their internet access from this.

@[email protected] You are wrong. I did the math and literally thousands of trolls harassing young female Finnish politicians on Facebook all disappeared at once, at the same time, coinciding with the Yandex explosion. For most profiles I’ve taken reports of numbers dropping at face value...

If it's not bots, it implies that Russia employs a sizable army of professional trolls. How many would it take to account for 90% of all assholes on the entire internet? Probably like the whole country.
Either way, between this and the fact that our part of the internet is all blocked there anyway, this just supports my proposal to forcibly sever Russia from the civilized world's internet entirely.

You could just collapse the troll industry. It's gonna happen when putin kicks off anyway.
It was Musk, though Trump helped.
