Trump will help Finland if Russia attacks

Poland, Ukraine, and Finland were part of the Russian Empire in 1914. Here's a map:

some days i wish we never invented the atombombs and nuclear weapons.

Then nations would conquer eachother much easier. Lets say we had 1920s-30s techlevel in Weapons across the board.


Then nations could invade without worrying about Nukes.

Pakistan and India wouldnt be safe for total domination, Middle-East wouldnt be safe, all would be up for conquering by other nations and alliegiances.

One thing I found interesting when watching interviews of winter war veterans was that there appears to have been unity in protecting the homeland. No one knew anyone who didn't want to go fight, though of course there's always some. I don't know about Finland but here in Sweden basically no one is ready to go to war for Sweden and it's no wonder why; what is there to protect, what values? Protect Arabs and Somalians?

Well it sure ain’t what it used to be. And mostly for the same reasons.

I’ve thought about if we would use the former generation as troops 🤔
They’re still patriotic and all are military trained.
As a bonus the economy will benefit from major lessening of paid pensions!

It goes both ways then. If Russia takes more land - borders change.

LOL seen that before.

A Swedish coworker had memorized this whole segment 

To break up countries in parts to prevent any unity. The US has this Grand Strategy plan to maintain US primacy, and "destroying" Russia is part of that plan. Since Israel runs foreign policy in the US they are very much part of that. You have the neocons (which were originally Jewish Trotskyists). Israel also wants to sort of balkanize all Muslim states, or more like throw them into a chaos of internal fighting and poverty so they pose no threat to Israel. "Peace" is the opposite of what they want in the middle east. All this talk of peace and good commercial relations by Trump et al with other countries is not really the truth.

Yeah. That’s what I said.

Just how far you go with maps?
Tsardom of Russia was founded 1548.

I read somewhere that some count from Cicily is the farthest ” legal ” owner of Crimean peninsula.
His ancestry dating to some… greeks, Romans, something like that.

Good, fuck Russia.

Even if one dislikes Russia the idea of going to war with it is pure lunacy. Their new missiles with the claimed mini nuclear reactors sure has others sweating. The  Burevestnik and Poseidon, they claim they are impossible to counter, just like the Oreshniks. Trump immediately ordered new testing of their nuclear missiles LOL. The US doesn't even have any hypersonics. What will the effect be of the Ukraine defeat on the national psyches of Europe?

The influential Rand think tank suggests a different strategy towards China now too, more amicable and less militaristic.

Tulsi now says the time of US regime changes is over. Meanwhile I hear there's a hangar ship going there and 16K troops will be deployed. For nothing? Kenya?

What does balkanize mean?
