    Losing this war would arguably be the best thing for them at this point, but the indomitable human spirit prevails.

    This is so far past insane that it must be calculated evil.

      They’ve been writing fanficton since the start of the war, what with “ghost of Kiev” and all. Or since 2004 and the original colour “revolution”, with the “ancient ukrs”. Or heck, since 1960’s with fuckin Solzhenytsyn.

    ukkkraine is going to know austerity and cancer. The country is cooked. There will be no Martial Plan, but there will be a roubust military arms industry in the EU leeching anything that was known as the European quality of life. Europe is going to find out why the American healthcare system sucks, but they’ll have more emboldened Nazis and fascists with ever increasing Orwellian levels of control to keep the masses down.

    If the EU sends troops to Ukraine, it will be civil wars. No one is going to die for that corrupt cesspool. But they’ll let go of all their freedoms because unlimited-power Fear will keep them in line.

    As future wargaming strategies go, this one may not be uppermost in Rishi Sunak’s mind when he flies to Poland today to discuss Ukraine with Donald Tusk. For a start, it rather downplays the small issue that putting western troops east of Poland’s border might spark world war three. Yet should Mr Sunak happen to browse the policy journal Foreign Affairs while on the plane to Warsaw, he would learn that in the world of thinktanks, at least, the unthinkable is finally being thought

    Anyone proposing this needs to be guillotined

      Anyone proposing this should be told to fuck off and volunteer to be a mercenary in Ukraine’s Reddit battalion themselves if they like dying in pointless wars so much.

        if they like dying in pointless wars so much

        Ah, but that’s the thing - they like others dying in pointless wars, while they cheer on and rake in money in the comfort of their walled-off suburbs
