    [Merged] 'Strong Baltic Sea underwater blasts' - Nord Stream gas pipes leaking / Sabotage?

    Two underwater gas leaks have been spotted bubbling up to the surface of the Baltic Sea by the Danish Military, near Bornholm island (which has a military base). Danish Prime Minister, Mette Frederickson, says it is hard to believe it is accidental. The Swedish seismology wing of the military...

    [Ed] Russia Threatens Lithuania

    Russia warns NATO-member Lithuania over Kaliningrad transit This is a disturbing threat but then I wonder what Russia would actually do? Will they try to counter with their own sanctions? Try cyber attacks (my understanding is Lithuania hits above their weight here)? It is hard for me to...

    The Russian Invasion of Ukraine Part 4

    Thread continued from here. The line I heard is that this is deliberate, and that Ukraine is trading ground for time. This. So long as Russia is in Ukraine, they can always counter attack. One small piece of land goes one way, then the other. Rather than occupying a particular piece of...

    Would a Republican government turn its back on Ukraine?

    Suppose Republicans take the House and Senate by 2024. Suppose that Donald Trump wins a second term. Suppose further that the war in Ukraine remains just as hot by that time. Would a Republican-controlled government stifle aid to Ukraine? Would sanctions against Russia be reversed? Would Trump...

    [Merged] Russian (genocidal) internal propaganda and goals about Ukraine

    Here is a Kremlin mouthpiece called Ria Novosti, which lays out Russia’s goals for Ukraine. I very much recommend putting it into Google translate. It is.. eye-opening: https://ria.ru/20220403/ukraina-1781469605.html The title is "What must Russia do with Ukraine". I am not translating the...

    Thread continued from here.. As always, feel free to quote from the previous thread. No, it isn't true of most US conflicts. Taking recent examples, nobody relied on Afghanistan for anything, because Afghanistan doesn't produce anything, and isn't even a transit point for anything. Iraq was...

    [Split Thread] Is Ukraine to blame for Putin's invasion

    Arnold Schwarzenegger's message (its text may be found here: https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2022/03/schwarzenegger-russia-ukraine-war-message/627100/) was fairly good. But it does contain some approximations and inaccuracies. Perhaps he has been told lies himself. If he was still in...

    Invasion of Iraq vs Invasion of Ukraine

    I've been thinking last few days about the invasion of Iraq and how it relates to Ukraine. We invaded Iraq because of non-existent WMDs, a non-existent nuclear program, and a non-existent connection to Al Qaeda. Why did Russia invade Ukraine? A non-existent connection to Nazism, a...
