Lunatic calls leader already doing land grab genocide.

Says he’ll give access to largest military in the world because it will distract from the files bring about the end times from his weird death cult prophecy.

“Sounds good, bud”

So would the government be handing out guns or what?

It’s actually really expensive to get things to the sun.

The easiest ice covered rock to get to from earth would be Europa. He might also confuse it with Greenland as an added bonus.

Western powers promised Ukraine protection against attack or invasion by themselves and Russia in the December 5th, 1994 Budapest Memorandum.

The US, France, UK, Russia, and China all agreed not to invade Ukraine and in fact to provide protection, and in exchange, Ukraine gave up their nukes.

Russia violated this just 20 years later when they invaded and stole Crimea from Ukraine, and now 30 years later they are trying to conquer the entire country.

Thats why everyone is so hell bent on providing support for Ukraine. Not just because it’s the right thing to do, but because they were promised protection by world powers.

Is that gamble worth the lives of nearly every living thing on the planet and the future of human civilization?

Russia alone has enough nuclear weapons to cause a mass extinction event. Even if no one else fires a single one, they could erase life as we know it.

If Putin sees a Leopard tank in Moscow, are you sure he wouldn’t order a launch? And if Britain or the French see those missiles and bombers, are you sure they won’t launch in retaliation?

That’s the logic that European leaders are operating under. If they pull the trigger on article 5 and launch a war with Russia, even if they win, everyone could still lose literally everything.

I thought all the hesitation was because of the nukes.

I’m pretty sure it’s the nukes.

And how exactly would they force the United States to do anything?

“Join Us or we’ll start a two front war to make you join us” is hardly a convincing argument.

Dictators are extremely petty people.

Those damn ones

Free bed, free food?

Sign me the fuck up

Evolution is a tricky bitch when bacteria have a new generation every 15 minutes or so

And that’s what we call Russian roulette

How long until Russia doesn’t have nukes?

Is he still using his youngest child as a human shield?

They stopped buying his cars

I mean, it’s a wedding.

If part of your culture is firing guns in the air as celebration, I might not get it, but I can support that it’s a cultural tradition.

That being said, some people do fireworks in the US to celebrate weddings, it’s not like they have a pile of old gunpowder that they just set off in the middle of the crowd. Guests, or the couple, will supply the celebratory munitions. I feel like the host could have just bought a crate of common caliber blanks and left it in a corner.

I’m sure the Philippines disagrees

And Taiwan

Reading comprehension has left the chat

You mean the one he has now or the one the government will be paying for?

Probably buy RD-180 tech package or just the engines from the Russians.

The RD-180 is one of the most robust and reliable rocket engines ever made. Slap that baby on the bottom of a couple fuel and oxidizer tanks, and you can reach just about anywhere in the world in 30 minutes or less. The North Koreans stole the plans for it and now they have ICBMs, the Iranians could do something similar.
