Victory is certain with Russian soldiers riding in to battle on motorcycles.

They actually almost brag about these tactics. Putin says they infiltrate areas in packs of 2 or 3 men and it has been a successful strategy according to him. I don't know shit about warfare so can't judge either way. Obviously I know there are different ways to wage war, a war with Europe wouldn't be surgical like in Ukraine, it would be straight to strategic weapons with no one to negotiate with afterwards, as Putin said. It's pretty wild hearing Euros say they are considering preemptive NATO strikes on Russia. Hopefully it's just words.

Likely there is some truth to it. Both sides (Russia and Euro members of NATO) are gonna ramp up this kinda back and forth. Each side accusing and provoking the other.

You'll probably be doom posting that we're on the brink of WWIII again, but that won't be the case. The goal is to cause fear and destabilisation in Europe, so the wealthier European countries increase their military spending and buy the latest weapons from the US military industrial complex

I said I hope it's just words, because no one can be as stupid as to push it to that level, right? What do you think of the earlier close calls, were they also not real?
For example:

"Yes, the Cuban Missile Crisis in October 1962 brought the world terrifyingly close to World War III, representing the peak Cold War confrontation where the US and Soviet Union nearly triggered nuclear war over Soviet missiles in Cuba, averted only by tense negotiations and crucial decisions like Vasili Arkhipov preventing a nuclear torpedo launch from a submarine, highlighting how miscalculation, not just strategy, could have led to global devastation"

Many credentialed people have said that during the 12 day war Netanyahu demanded Trump would come in or they would drop a nuke. I think Kirikaou is one if I'm not mistaken. These are just rumors to me, I don't know. The Russians have said no one wants WWIII but a small miscalculation could make things get out of hand, so there's always a small risk. I forget the details but a few years ago the US calculated something like a 10% risk of nuclear war due to something they were planning, I think it was under Biden. Too big of a chance IMO.
