- End of Western Military Support: The ceasefire hinges on a total halt to all Western arms deliveries and intelligence sharing with Ukraine

No more US MIC sales?

No wonder the talks were sabotaged, and ended so quickly.

We are effectively in a global war. The stalling tactics benefit both sides as people need time to make guns, bombs, and drones.

The goal isn't about land though. It seems they just want a good portion of the population of earth to simply die.

Its not a world war until the conflict spreads to multiple theaters with multiple front lines.

If we were in a world war we would have a wartime economy and nationalized industries. We know how to fight world wars.

The global war on terror.
The war on drugs.
The war in Gaza.
The war at the border.
The gender wars.
Should I go on?

Aren't all of these legitimate wars? Trump is claiming the border is a front in a war in court in order to get war powers. He's not pretending is he?

Certainly mass migration is the result of regional wars and it is considered a product of war and an invasion.

We have yet to see this Russian regional conflict escalate up to the intensity that it's a world war.

There is only one government recognizing a world war at this point and that's the Russian deep state that rules Russia.

The Russian deep state considers regions that were historically part of the Russian Empire and the Soviet Union, as the "Russian world".

They consider that the "Russian World" is at war with the "World"

Any part of the "Russian world" that joins the "world" is an act of war.

The Russians want to make a "new world" in their image a "Russian world".

One in which any country they step foot in and conquer becomes "Russia".

Russia is in an undeclared war against "the world" but "the world" has yet to declare war back because Russia is contained by containment policies that worked for the entire cold war. So it hasn't spread from their region.

NATO is basically a giant force field surrounding the regional war and they are upping their defense spending by as much as 5% of national GDP.

I see, NATO is like a force field containing satanic evil Russia. And the war may spill out because commies and RPF'ers aren't supporting Trump's peace agenda enough. Guess he might have to do it the hard way. At least he tried peace as much as he could. He's a very generous messiah.

NATO is a force field definitely and has contained Russian aggression from reaching our shores.

Russia is basically like a huge prison.

I have lots of neighbors who in fact escaped Russia. They love living in the land of the free.

Russian aggression

I do have a history book in the room.

You can’t change the past, but you might learn something from it.

OK. So, I glanced over the history book and I just have two questions:

How many times has Europe invaded Russia?
How many times has Russia invaded Europe?

Study guide for those looking for actual answers instead of CIA propaganda:

 

[nikcers]

In living history as in when Poland was massacred by Russia when they allied with the nazi government in Germany and massacred Poland? Or do you mean more recently like when they took Berlin and raped every woman in Berlin?


Or do you mean more recently like the 60s when they parked diesel submarines off the coast of the USA and ordered them to fire nuclear weapons at the United States and the only reason why there wasnt a nuclear holocaust is because they disobeyed the orders.


Or do you mean more recently when they invaded Chechnya or Georgia or Ukraine and bombed women and children hiding inside a theater with vacuum bombs.


Or do you mean less recently when they armed every army that my country has fought in a war and shot down our planes and killed our men serving in the military. Or do you mean less recently like stuff that happened before living history?

 

[acptulsa]

I have lots of neighbors

Here we go again.

Shut up, bot. Your neighbors are all electrons.

Or do you mean more recently like when they took Berlin and raped every woman in Berlin?

LOL You have got to be kidding me. And what the Germans did to Stalingrad came later, I suppose.

Artificial Stupidity Software shows its ASS again. Who the fuck decided what the world needs now is a robotroll?

Putin's arrived at the conclusion that these drone attacks and one-off exotic operations by the Ukrainian regime and its sponsors are not going to change the course of the war, nor cause enough internal damage to Russians, and therefore there is no reason to attack civilian areas in Ukraine. This does mean the Kiev Junta Regime may continue and not worry about being hit, but it also means that when the Russian Army marches in, city-by-city, the infrastructure may still be there, unless the Ukrainians blow up their own, which is doubtful, and then, a new Ukrainian government will be elected... how much land the new Ukraine retains is up to them. They have this chance to accept reasonable terms, again. The terms are not going to be adjusted, except to make Russia larger, and Ukraine smaller, so this is their choice.

There's just no way, without an existential threat, that Russia is going to do what the Israelis and Americans do to Arabs, - not the same relationship. Those who want to see shock and awe, they don't want to see the morning after, so why kill people who can't hurt you?

The fact remains that the Russian mission can be criticised for the first two years, but there is a new factor on the battlefield also - drone warfare. If Russia really does take more oblasts and major cities, it would be added insult to injury if they don't even have to rebuild those cities; that would be the magananimous, classical way that war was waged, not involving civilians. We have to respect it, and trust Putin, because he has earned the right to do this his way. Remember, he would like to foster trust, and keep the post-war Russia as safe from revenge attacks as possible. The best way to do that is to act with dignity. In the long run, it will pay off the most.

None of the Russian aircraft targeted in Ukraine’s recent drone attacks were destroyed, Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov has said. The aircraft sustained damage but will be repaired, he told TASS In an interview published on Wednesday.

Ukrainian drones struck several Russian airbases on Sunday, in a coordinated assault across five regions, from Murmansk in the Arctic to Irkutsk in Siberia.

Kiev has claimed that the strikes damaged or destroyed approximately 40 Russian military aircraft, including Tu-95 and Tu-22 long-range bombers. Moscow, however, has dismissed both the numbers and extent of damage.

“The equipment in question, as also stated by the Defense Ministry, was not destroyed, but damaged. It will be restored,” Ryabkov said, responding to a question about whether the strikes had affected strategic stability.

Kiev’s claims about the results of the attack have been inconsistent, Ryabkov claimed. “There is nothing even remotely close” to the damage levels quoted by Kiev, he said, urging reporters to rely only on information shared through the Russian Defense Ministry’s official channels.

The official also stated that prior to the recent phone call between US President Donald Trump and Russian President Vladimir Putin, Moscow had raised concerns with Washington that US officials had not responded to the attack.

Trump had reportedly insisted to Putin that the US had no prior knowledge of Kiev’s plans to strike Russian airfields, according to the Russian presidential aide Yuri Ushakov.

On Thursday, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov also confirmed that Putin and had told Trump a Russian response to the strikes is inevitable and that it would be carried out at the discretion of the Russian military.

NATO’s Top Military Officer Floats Idea of ‘Pre-Emptive Strike’ on Russia​

by Dave DeCamp
December 1, 2025

Russia called the rhetoric 'extremely irresponsible'​

NATO’s top military officer has floated the idea of the Western alliance conducting a “pre-emptive” strike on Russia, a comment that drew a sharp rebuke from Moscow.

Adm. Giuseppe Cavo Dragone, the chair of NATO’s Military Committee, made the provocative comment in the context of discussing alleged “Russian hybrid attacks” in Europe. He told the Financial Times that a “pre-emptive strike” could be considered a “defensive action,” but added that “it is further away from our normal way of thinking and behavior.”

“Being more aggressive compared with the aggressivity of our counterpart could be an option. [The issues are] legal framework, jurisdictional framework, who is going to do this?” the Italian admiral said.

The Russian Foreign Ministry called Dragone’s comments “extremely irresponsible” and said it could be an effort to undermine peace talks around Ukraine. “People who make such statements should be aware of the risks and potential consequences, including for the alliance members themselves,” said Russian spokeswoman Maria Zakharova.
