Now there's a sobering thought!not yet
Seriously, though, I find this stuff quite jarring. I've largely internalized the "McDonalds theory of international conflict" - the idea that developed countries in the modern world don't just invade each other on a whim, because even if you've got more guns than the people next door, you probably have more to gain from a harmonious and smoothly functioning global order than you do from the permanently fucked-off bit of extra territory that you now theoretically have control over. So seeing Russia potentially just going fuck it, we're sending the tanks in to the Ukraine with no real justification apart from the fact that they want to determine how the Ukraine is run is hard to even process properly.
High stakes for whom, though? Maybe some soldiers get killed, but so what? Spin them as martyrs who gave their lives defending Russia from CIA-backed terrorists or something.that;s the received wisdom. is there a huge amount of unrest in Russia? seems like a very high stakes operation just for a distraction. im still not satisfied.
Wouldn't surprise me if that's what Boris sees in it though.that;s the received wisdom. is there a huge amount of unrest in Russia? seems like a very high stakes operation just for a distraction. im still not satisfied.

it's always been like that though im sure most Russians think it's fine.
It's the unrest here, in the West, that is the issue. Misdirection, as usual. The West, well USA and UK, are gunning for Russia, no-one else gives much of a fuck either way. It's pathetic. We deserve a mercy nuking.that;s the received wisdom. is there a huge amount of unrest in Russia? seems like a very high stakes operation just for a distraction. im still not satisfied.

Exactly, it's not working! There are probably two hundred people in the USA and UK who want war with Russia. Unfortunately, they're in power.nah. trust me, people in the states are absolutely not swept up to the edge of their seats, distracted from all their issues by a possible Russian invasion. major media might cover it closely, but barely anyone here gives a shit.
