He lost. Alexander's empire only fell after his death.

'World leaders' are the ones with nuclear bunkers and therefore automatically better off in an apocalyptic scenario than us. And they're the ones causing the scenario, which we'll suffer worse than them in.

IE, he doesn't want to make his satellites military targets and cause kessler syndrome. Reasonable, cutting humanity off from space would be objectively worse than Ukraine outright losing.

Then we should’ve been invading Saudi Arabia.

Thing is, China doesn't exist in a vacuum. If the auntologists got their way and the CCP fell and balkanized along ethnic lines, what're the chances of outsiders interfering by backing puppet regimes to keep it balkanized? So you'd have politically independent Taiwan, Uyghur and Tibetan...

A majority of the Dutch population is against EU membership of Ukraine. Now their government wants to enslave said Dutch to die for Ukraine. It’s unstated if Blackrock will take their land after they’ve finished being ethnically cleansed off it by their own government forcing them into the path...

No I'm not, I just don't consider them 'wins' by any realistic definition of the term. South Korea spent the past few decades led by a literal cult and still hasn't had proper trials and loyalty purges after this was discovered. Economic competition with Taiwan destroyed our domestic microchip...

Yes, I have. Literally the only times it unambiguously worked I can think of remain post-WW2 Europe and Japan. Which only worked because they knew if they didn't do whatever we said, we could simply retreat and let the Soviet Union take over the rob of 'reconstructing' them. By taking over them.

Not if America has anything to say about it, lol. And of fucking course we got this. Apparently it isn't enough to just live in a cyberpunk dystopia, we needed the aesthetics.

Glowie propagandists, it's long past time you realized that all the boomers who gave a shit about Muh Russians™ are dead or in retirement homes now. Stop trying to make red scare 2.0 happen. It's not gonna work.

Put your money where your mouth is and abolish mandatory conscription, giving young men a choice between "fight for your country and probably die pointlessly since even united, you don't have the numbers or firepower to actually win" and "stay home and just trade one pseudo-democracy ruled by a...

As a general rule, forced conscription should be considered a form of slavery and therefore a crime against humanity. If a nation can't voluntarily motivate enough of its own citizens to serve as soldiers, it deserves to lose. Which unfortunately does nothing about the problem of Stephen...

Everyone posting here yes, the guys responsible have bunkers paid for with our taxes.

That or a Ukrainian attempt at a false flag to get NATO to directly help them.

Possible outcomes as I see it: Russia loses the conventional war. Putin, who tied his reputation to winning looks weak to his compatriots and is assassinated, then posthumously blamed for everything so trade can be restored. Ukrainian victory. Russia is losing the conventional war until Putin...

Especially since even if proof was found, the media wouldn't cover the story.

-a russian man carries out self-defense against a government-sponsored slaver

Brace for kessler syndrome.

The brits doing their best to escalate a regional conflict into a world war AGAIN for the third fucking time in a century.

Fixed.
