Ukraine, Russia etc.

I think europes assumption is that capitulating to putin makes further and more dangerous wars more likely.

 

[luka]

HArdly a mad conclusion to draw given how many countries hes already invaded

 

[luka]

So Maybe pro a protracted war in ukraine to bleed russia, anti a larger conflict that draws in the rest of europe

 

[version]

Imagine we end up in a world war and The Lads are forced to murder The Dudes on the battlefields of Europe.

 

[version]

Maybe Gus and Stan will be spared because they'll be doing nerd stuff and piloting drones, but Linebaugh, mvuent and Dilbert will be in the trenches, in The Shit.

Gus would look great in an eyepatch and one those long leather overcoats the nazis used to wear

 

[version]

Craner will be hanged like Lord Haw-Haw after he gets caught broadcasting pro-American propaganda from Barry.

 

[version]

Corpsey will either come into his own and turn into a blood-crazed demon or be one of those guys celebrated for his heroism after being shot hundreds of times, legs and penis shot off.

He'll be like Doogie Howser at the end of Starship Troopers.

Corpsey will either come into his own and turn into a blood-crazed demon or be one of those guys celebrated for his heroism after being shot hundreds of times, legs and penis shot off.

He'd get press-ganged into the Royal Marines and the training process would turn him into Private Pyle from Full Metal Jacket.

 

[version]

Corpsey with no legs and penis, horribly burned, captured by the enemy and forced to record a humiliating video "confessing" to numerous war crimes.

 

[version]

Eventually he's rescued, honoured by the country and catalog's commissioned to build a statue of him.

 

[version]

He becomes a national mascot, like one of those dogs they give a medal for bravery.

Since Z's attitude is illogical, might this show that he's not actually in the position to make this decision.

 

[version]

He's between a rock and a hard place.

 

[Mr. Tea]

He becomes a national mascot, like one of those dogs they give a medal for bravery.

A generation hence, tough men in working-class pubs have tattoos of his face on their upper arm, next to the Union Jack and a bulldog.

 

[version]

One for the geopolitics thread too.

​

A former spy and close friend of Vladimir Putin has been engineering a restart of Russia’s Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline to Europe with the backing of US investors, a once unthinkable move that shows the breadth of Donald Trump’s rapprochement with Moscow.​

​

The efforts on a deal, according to several people aware of the discussions, were the brainchild of Matthias Warnig, an ex-Stasi officer in East Germany who until 2023 ran Nord Stream 2’s parent company for the Kremlin-controlled gas giant Gazprom.​

​

Warnig’s plan involved outreach to the Trump team through US businessmen, the people said, as part of back-channel efforts to broker an end to the war in Ukraine while deepening economic ties between the US and Russia.​

​

Some prominent Trump administration figures are aware of the initiative to bring in US investors, according to officials in Washington, and they see it as part of the push to rebuild relations with Moscow.​
