@7 there's a good piece by Rothbard, Wall Street, The banks and American Foreign Policy that's very germane to the discussion - spoiler, investment in China makes wwiii a bit of a nono
@7 like, Ukraine could kick Russia out. OK. What's US gonna do, unfreeze their funds? That ship has sailed and everyone knows it has.
@7 god forbid the nuclear war bit
@7 it's more financial I think, US can't support the EU and I can't really see the US forcing anything upon China or Russia except nuclear war
commodities beats printer, AWACS or no

@skells I’m done even feigning sides in this matter, I’m in it for studying the military strategy and geopolitics. I want BRICS to break away for all the positive and negative reasons, and I want the US to make it’s death rattles, and I want to see the patriots rally for exactly what they were against a few years prior, and I want to see what comes of it all. The US has done such an amazing job at crippling itself that it’s six-to-five and pick-‘em what would happen if a world war broke out; it’s no who is stronger, it’s can the Americans reinvigorate a national war industry given the last 40 years, and can they do it before the Chinese and Russian junk-heaps are able to do what little they would need to do? And that’s if a declaration of war didn’t crack the country into pieces and leave a far bigger mess to clean up for any invading force.
@7 also good fucking luck invading the US lol no one would try it
@7 my hope is that neither sides have it in them for a world war and a relatively peaceful, natural devolution of centralised state power occurs
tbh I think most everyone other than the upper echelons (and their respective NPCs) of US and EU are hoping for that outcome.
If it came to it both could swing hard - the historical precedent (read Franks/Crusades) is for the West to sweep all before it in decisive battles while bleeding out strategically
@sim looking forward to this
@7 Russia doesn't need the commodities Japan did, what it wants is BRICS to break from the West/multipolar world
US wants Ukraine to be another Afghanistan
Russia wants to show cajones in resisting US hegemony
place your bets
@7 we're in 1930 not 1938 and Ukraine is China, if I had to guess
@7 if it's the first of its kind they'd have to do it between their two nations, otherwise the logistics would be incredibly complex to ship/supply Chinese forces to/in Ukraine and vice versa
what if they all invested in China because ray said so and now they bored waiting
@coolboymew have we reached peak journalism, or is the best yet to come?
