Is that idiot Biden gonna get us in a war with Russia or China?
Driving around alone in your car with a mask on and end up up getting run over by a tank.
Sounds like a scene from a Coen's brother movie or something.

You can't make this ridiculous shit up; the Russkies have GOT to be laughing their asses off at us!

Classic Chinese propaganda and an idiot giving a peek behind the curtain.
quote:
A Chinese government official Thursday sidestepped questions over whether it would condemn Russia's actions or consider it an "invasion."
Instead, China's Assistant Foreign Minister Hua Chunying -- who repeated staid lines about seeking peace through dialogue and said the situation was "not what we would hope to see" -- was quick to point the finger at the US, implying that Washington was a "culprit" for "fanning up flames," referring to US warnings in recent weeks of an imminent invasion.
Sure, the US saying Russia was planning to invade Ukraine is the reason Russia invaded Ukraine.
quote:
A glimpse of the kind of guidance that state media may be under emerged Tuesday, when what appeared to be an internal memo from Chinese state media Beijing News directing its employees not to publish news reports "negative to Russia or pro-West" was mistakenly published on the outlet's official social media account.
The post, which was swiftly deleted, also directed employees to "filter and release proper comments." Beijing government-controlled Beijing News declined CNN's request for comment on the incident.
Oopsie!

Oh please, man. The irony of it was just a bit of dark comic relief among the tragedy of it all. To put into perspective real threats vs imaginary ones. It's a couple of posts; not the whole thread.

A lot of this is a really unnecessary distraction from what’s going on here at home. Many of the obumbler and burden’s Marxist bs policies are preface to the current mess. Focus gents!

Too much bravado about how the Ukrainians are going to be the nemesis of the Russians. Even going so far as to suggest that it’s not going well for Putin after 24 hours. Lol, Pullease …

Remember, like weathercaster kneeling in flooded ditches while kids walk by ankle deep, the first reports are often wrong. Read foreign sources and keep up to date, you get a better idea of what is going on.
And this is a distraction from our OWN border, which had 1.1 million illegals cross it last year, get plane flights to different metros, house for free in hotels, and who are predominantly male of combat fitness and age. Not 'refugees.'
We know what's going on, and we also recognize paranoia and melodramatics when we see them. Cut it out. If you want to indulge in fantasies, do it elsewhere.

Maybe you need to change your glasses prescription or your meds because either you can’t read or your comprehension is way fucking off.
Is it congenital? Just need to poke at anything you don’t understand?
Maybe you made a mistake?
Or we need to be in lockstep with your fucking notion of how the world works?

Nonsense. Suggesting a reality check does not imply support for Putin.

To answer the question in the thread title, I say, "No."
I think China and Russia are playing music to pump up their troops with a remake of "Roll Over Beethoven" with the words "Roll Over Joe Biden."
"It did not really matter what we expected from life, but rather what life expected from us. We needed to stop asking about the meaning of life, and instead to think of ourselves as those who were being questioned by life – daily and hourly. Our answer must consist not in talk and meditation, but in right action and in right conduct. Life ultimately means taking the responsibility to find the right answer to its problems and to fulfill the tasks which it constantly sets for each individual."

Easy. Many members here have very similar interests, not a stretch that the YT algorithm has connected the same/similar videos that many members also see.
