World War 3

Makes sense for when Trump joins CSTO after invading redwhiteblueland and Canada.

We live in a world where Mike Pence looks like a sane internationalist.

What a time to be alive.

" a NATO ally our troops will be required to defend"

Mango Mussolini will have withdrawn from NATO by then.

Can’t imagine this will end well, expect a lot of missiles and drones to be thrown at Russia over then next few days.

Fucking idiots deciding they can carve up another country just because they want mineral rights

US team heading to Saudi Arabia tonight ahead of Russia talks

Ukraine will not attend the negotiations.

We’ve just been hearing from Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky on NBC News’s Meet the Press.

He restated his position that Ukraine will never accept a peace deal negotiated solely between Russia and the US, without Ukraine at the table.

We’ve heard him make that point repeatedly in Europe this week - but now, speaking to a US audience, he is doubling down for Americans.

“I will never accept any decisions between the United States and Russia about Ukraine, never,” he says.

And why the fuck should he? It seems such an insane way of going about doing things, and I cannot think of a single time previously where that’s been the approach.

You mean except like when in 1938 Britain and allies agreed that Hitler could have the Sudetenland?

Good luck if Trump decides to pull US support…

I mean, I’m always happy to be proved wrong, especially if it’s a scenario like that, but that’s a fucking on-the-nose example!

So, not really supporting them then.

Just selling them protection…

In the same way that European countries have to increase defence spending to 5% and of course spend it on US systems

Well this has turned into a complete cluster fuck in no time at all.

He’s being dispensed with shortly isn’t he? I can’t see the replacement being hugely better mind…

We can hope….

AKA ‘The Trump Effect’ - I guess we knew it was coming, and it’s going to be at least as bad as expected…

Exactly what Putin wants, Russian media is currently celebrating that Europe is now arguing with each other and being sidelined by the US.
