War in Ukraine

[MontyPython]

I've wondered if China would seize the opportunity to invade Taiwan.

It's a WWIII scenario... brings up shades of Germany/Japan.

Scary times we live in that's for sure.

Well, we survived Trump.

LOL

I hope we can survive Biden.

Oh lawdy.

Chinese media accidentally posts CCP rules on Russia-Ukraine coverage, hint at Taiwan takeover

Wed, February 23, 2022

Chinese news media posted instructions to social platforms about how to approach coverage on Ukraine, including a note of China’s need for Russian "support" with Taiwan.

One outlet appeared to accidentally post guidelines on what should and should not be published, while an editor from another outlet weighed in with guidance on language and approaches that he believed necessary in walking a fine line.

Ming Jinwei, senior editor at Xinhua News Agency, wrote in his WeChat blog about how his outlet needed to walk a tight line on its Ukraine coverage, noting that China "has to back Russia up with emotional and moral support while refraining from treading on the toes of the United States and European Union."

"In the future, China will also need Russia’s understanding and support when wrestling with America to solve the Taiwan issue once and for all," his post read. Ming said that it "doesn’t hurt" to use moderately pro-Russia language.

I already knew Russia and China were going to back each other's play. This was the more interesting tidbit of information to me in the story:

Well, they're both communist countries as far as I'm concerned. Comrades.

He might, but I don't. I personally don't give a damn about Ukraine and we shouldn't waste a dime of money on them because at the end of the day we are going to let Russia do what they want. Furthermore I would pull all of our troops out of Germany and redistribute them to the US. Germany needs a fire lit under their liberal poon asses.

I'm glad you aren't in charge of countering the spread of the Putin virus.

Look at me like Trump and your solution as being Biden.

Russia to launch Ukraine invasion in 48hrs with strikes & troops, US says

The US said they were supposed to invade on the 16th so I don't put much stock into this.

He's not the solution i want, but he's the solution we have.

Did the US actually specify the 16h?

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Oh man
Those sanctions sure did show them.

He's not a solution in any stretch of the word, he's a huge f'n problem and no one knows how to deal with it. He's a mentally deficient elderly man that is backed up by a complete f'n moron with an IQ of 70 on a good day. Whoops.

 

[volbeast33]

He's not the solution i want, but he's the solution we have.

So we have no solution?

I think Germany put the hold on it - not sure if the US could.

 

[Matt2496]

I looked it up, and I remembered the wording incorrectly. They said "as soon as" the 16th, not exactly on the 16th.

My bad.

Biden announces sanctions against Nord Stream 2 owner, reversing 2021 decision

Trump sanctioned them, Biden removed it and is now reinstating..Trump was correct once again and warned this would happen, but the vag hatters are just effed in the head.

Trump would have threatened to pull the troops from Germany, Biden didn't do a damn thing other than ask for his ice cream cone.

For those that are mocking the sanctions, what do you propose we do?

1. Sanction
2. Concede Ukraine
3. Go to war
4. Insert alternative here

Gotcha. I remember a UK paper (not a particularly reputable one) said the invasion would start at a specific time, but all I remembered from the US is “in the coming days” or something to that effect.

Better yet...lets look at those that opposed Trumps sanctions in the first place.
