Omnibus Russia Ukraine crisis

[Twin_Moose]

European countries are getting braver after witnessing Ukraine's resistance to Russia

Today is going to be the big one IMO if Ukraine can hold Russia will have to reassess their invasion

Nothing inspires "bravery" like a desire to fight your war on somebody else's turf.

Basically the deal the U.S. and the USSR had for half a century. "If we do decide to go at it, we'll mess up Europe." Kinda like agreeing to throw a wild, drunken party in somebody else's house.

It would be nice if a country like Canaduh with massive oil and gas reserves could pull a few European countries off the "lack of energy fears" fence.

In theory the 3rd largest reserves on the planet, but limited capacity to do much with it in this situation anyway.

Great. I can see how "We have vast reserves in the ground we'll be willing to provide you at reasonable prices in ten or twenty years" would make 'em feel a TON better.

Hmm. . . give us a few days to get a carrier or two into range, and we could declare a no-fly zone over Ukraine.

That'd be fun.

We're famous for it. Remember the World Wars?

Think of us as daddy saying to the kids "if I gotta get up outta my La-Z-Boy, somebody's gonna get a whippin'!"

Yep come in late and take all the glory

Yep, come in when the squabbling client states finally figure out none of 'em's strong enough to win, then drop a couple of atom bombs.

Three days later, unconditional surrender.

You think Justin's gonna allow the oil sector to ramp up?....Not friggin' likely

It should be capacity on demand but this is Canaduh.

 

[Tecumsehsbones]

So let us declare a state of emergency and grab dictatorial powers to deal with dissent. That'll show 'em we're better'n Russia!

Don't worry, we'll run like bunnies at the first sign of resistance. It's our new "Freedom Through Weakness" policy.

It should be cspacity on demand but this is Canaduh.

A family is standing on the street in tears, watching its home go up in flames.

Up walks petros. "You shoulda had sprinklers."

Not really. "Na khui" (rough transliteration) literally means "on the dick," in other words. . .
