This is just chud fanfiction, nobody over the age of 35 with any experience of the world would actually think this would happen.
I urge lurkers to consider the logistics of holding this territory, rather than simply taking it. Once you do this you see how absurd it would be. At least the parts of Ukraine that Russia has taken, is full of people who speak Russian and have Russian sympathies.

The USA is moving nuclear missiles into Taiwan, but they say it's to stop Iran so it's ok you can go back to sleep now.

>Democrats

All but the absolute dumbest members of each side know it's both and the rest is theater.
Democrats get in in 4 years, they're just going to stall and dawdle like republicans have and their base will complain but they bank on nothing happening, then republicans will say "oh we'd totally release it!", then they'll swap places and the lies continue. People are sick of this shit.

I don't know how else to say it, but when I'm talking to a woman with a view to date them (or even *on* a date) and I find out she's in "talking stages" with other guys and fucking her ex, they just become completely invisible to me. Like my motivation to interact with them in any way evaporates.
