    The “west” is losing their shit to start a war with Russia, and its really hard to understand what kind of benefit they will get with that. And even worse are the people looking forward to this, since they will be the cannon fodder while the people who started the conflict keep a luxurious life in faraway places

      If NATO wanted a war with Russia then there would be war with Russia. Russia has made it easy enough with hybrid war actions against Europe. Of course such a war would be something like a three day operation since Russia has proven it’s military to be even more pathetic than everyone suspected.

      I have to assume they think this will help destabilize China by having more power over their borders/neighbors. That north border looks so empty without nukes pointing towards China on it…
