I can't even imagine what any of them are thinking. Many of them lived through the entire Nuclear age. I can only assume they're so high on their own supply they just can't imagine Washington disappearing in a flash of hot light and hard radiation.
They’re calling Russia’s bluff. That’s what they’re thinking. They’re betting Russia wouldn’t dare to escalate into a nuclear war, and they’d be right (most of the time), because no sane country would want that.
Russia won't escalate to nuclear, but it will have to escalate, which is going to ruin the rest of Ukraine all for a chance of getting more intelligence on Russian capabilities.
small price to pay for the US. Not like anyone in Ukraine can complain. Not like any westerner ever sees anything about the consequences. Not like the lackeys "in charge" in Ukraine will say anything about it. The US will just pay off their most loyal puppets and move on to the next country to destroy.
Yeah well up until Russia stops being sane, like the gerontocratic West has. For example, by assassinating Putin and having someone far more extreme take power.
I don't think we're getting out of this one. This is the end of the line.
Well let’s see who will eventually win this bet: Biden or you.
Hate to say it but I genuinely suspect Biden might turn out to be right.
I fucking hope Biden is right considering what the alternative is.
Many of them lived through the entire Nuclear age.
That's just it though, considering that they are the leaders of a giant death cult, many of them probably feel like they got shortchanged when the USSR fell without any nuclear armageddon, not even a little bit. This could be Biden's last chance for the Christmas he always really wanted.
I've also wondered this. The generation that was promised they would all die in nuclear armageddon so they treated the planet and everyone and everything as if all life was going away anyway not being denied their just deserts.
This also makes the whole Huckabee choice much more foreboding...
Can you fucking imagine?
I would be less worried if I lived in DC than if I lived in Poland or Germany or god-forbid Kiev. Ukraine manages to get a big bomb into Krusk and Russia retaliates with a fuck-off armed ballistic missile into one of those guys.
"Since Biden is a lame duck and the Republicans are about to take control anyway, I sure wish he'd just use his power to solve global warming once and for all!"
Monkey's Paw curls
If we have nuclear winter and wipe out humanity global warming will be solved
Sentinel Island Natives full on
Unfortunately they're definitely fucked, there's already been decades of overfishing in the Andaman Islands
Sorry but the Parliamentarian said no, so we're getting WWIII.
This is like the assholes who made their guys fight to the last minute before the armistice in wwi
they 25th him and Kamabla authorizes Israel to nuke Russia
Brat nuclear winter, baby!
What would happen if in responce Russia blew up some trucks at an IDF base.
please god let this happen it would be so fucking funny
Bro is beseeching the legislature 😭
congress is doing its job: making money off of military company insider trading
You have to understand, Joe just really likes genocide and nuclear annihilation is the biggest genocide there is
Are they trying to escalate it so much that Trump can't withdraw? Not that Trump would even get to decide one way or the other. Or that he even wants to.
