    I didn’t realize this war had a time limit.

    What an absolute bullshit article. Fuck WSJ.

      I haven’t read the article, but yes, wars do have time-limits:

      Once a war becomes domestically impossible to participate in, Vietnam as 1 proof, then the-course-of-war changes.

      Economic-collapse means that Biden’s hosed in 2024, and the Republicans are Russian allies, not NATO allies.

      Yes wars have time-limits.

      Simply wait & see: by the end of 2025, NATO will be gutted, Trump will have been crowned GEOTUS ( a term they already use for him ), and Trump will ( passively, at least ) back Russia.

      Sickening, but it looks like that’s the fact of the unfolding global/geopolitical near-future.

      You didn’t realize? Now you do.

    I sincerely appreciate that WSJ thinks their propaganda is so important that I’d want to pay to read it.

    Sure but Russia actually winning the war also seems pretty magical imo. I mean wasn’t this whole operation supposed to last about 3 days??

      … whilst the country known as 404 still exists.

        I recommend trying to live there. If you’re a young male, they’ll happily accept you as a cannon fodder.

        I heard it’s very nice around Ural.

          I recommend that you not give recommendations.
