Go ahead

It’s the year 2031. NATO troops surrounded the Cremlin after a weekend of mostly chill driving through the Russian countryside. Picking up defectors here and there.

Russia still threatens with war if they don’t stop.

Everybody laughs. Love is in the air. Good times.

I know you're joking, and I'm sorry to ruin the dream but to be clear nuclear fallout would be in the air and there won't be laughing as several millions would die before that moment.
I really don't like the glorification of war
- Question: We've seen sand-filled missiles due to corruption and cronyism, and they were actually transfered to the front line expecting to be live munitions. How many Russian ICBMs do you think are truly functional between the "new" ones and the 70yo cold war hulks?
  To be clear, I don't revel in the idea of a war between the Ruskies and NATO, but Putin is certain to be wondering this, too. How effective are his strategic assets, truly? I'm sure the CIA has figured that out and is guiding US response on that intel. They know exactly how far an insecure dictator can be pushed.
- Millions will die from the nuclear fallout and billions will starve from the following nuclear winter.
  Nuclear war is terrifying
- russia doesn't have functional nukes
russian civil war 2032 nato fuly joins 2033
- There is no way to stop Nato

  Buddy last year the Netherlands had 26 parties you could vote for. Which seems to be roughly average lol
- Did one of those early AI models write this?

Alright NCD, tell me your noncredible plan to beat Russia

Fuck it, releases Florida-man
- There's a whole lot of Russian infiltration into Floridaman circles these days
I suggest a slight modification on the Prigozhin plan.
Step 1: Hop on whatever vehicle you can find
Step 2: Casually drive to Moscow
Step 3 (Modified): Do NOT take Putin's bribe.
Step 4: Make sure you don't have to carry too much ammo back
Step 5: We did it!
I'll copy and paste a bit I did in reply to a Russiabot for kicking Russia out of the Ukraine.
We tell Poland “Hulk? Smash.” and they rush across the border and reinforce Ukrainian positions. A US carrier group rolls up and sinks what remains of the Black Sea Fleet before the Admiral can get a second cup of coffee. Marines start landing in Sevastopol and the obligatory McDonalds is setup within 36 hours. F-22s body the Russian air force without even being seen; not because of stealth, but because Russians ain't got radar no more. The Kerch Strait Bridge isn’t just bombed, but completely taken out from end to end. What remains of Russian ground positions west of Mariupol is full of soldiers who hear rumors that NATO POW camps will give you hot food and a warm blanket, and that’s sounding like a damn good deal by the end of the week.
- Also cut off Belarus from any Russian support and let the people there do their thing. Bomb the railway connections between Russia and China, add a blockade between Russia and Iran.
  And instead of just using McDonald's on the frontline, add some A&Ws and really win some hearts and minds.
Day one: Russian air force gets taken out by NATO air strikes.
Day two: remaining heavy weapons are mopped up by NATO air strikes.
Day three to one hundred: Russian meat waves get mowed down by NATO air strikes and artillery.
Day one hundred and one: Putin tries to launch nuclear attack, fails.
China.
Hear me out: Treaty of Aigun established Vladivostok on what was Chinese land - Yongmingcheng, where the russians built a western city/port for their pacific fleet. And the russian 'east'; there's a fantastic stretch of land that's going to become quite livable due to climate change while china experiences a series of frustrations - inability to separate Taiwan from the west's interference, inability to execute the 9-dash line's ambitions to control the south china sea, and unity in the Australia-Indonesia-Philippines resistance to Chinese influence - why continue to waste resources where there's nothing but resistence?
Look north. Russia doesn't have the best army in the Donbas lol, when supplied the Ukrainians are tearing them to shreds - far more lost there than Afghanistan and Chechnya - mind boggling losses. Will the Russians really be able to stand up to a peer army?
And no one would twitch. Who's going to jump to Russia's aid?
Seems like a win.
- I don't think they will act directly against each other until they've dealt with the west. One attacking the other directly would just cement western dominance.
- Been saying that for months. There's enough of a Han population in Vladivostok for Xi to say it's a "special military operation," protecting native Chinese. It'd be a heck of a political coup for Xi, because he could have an easy military victory, and redirect attention from Taiwan. Also gives them a port outside of the first chain of islands that have cut them off from everything but the East China Sea
- csto mabye would come to russias aid
Orbital bombardment with anti matter weaponry.

- I think just a big wood chipper followed by a mobile reggae sound system bumping up the highway slowly, passing out food, medical supplies and weed to the inhabitants as they go past. Followed an hour later by ANOTHER sound system and several clearly branded flatbed trucks, with happy smiling people throwing candy and chocolate off the back to the re-assembled crowd.
  Ain’t nobody stopping that parade.
Make American vodka superior to Russian.
- That would be Kirkland Signature vodka.
  I am 100% serious.
- Vodka is the easiest goddamn spirit to turn into a high-tier brand. There is barely any flavor to Vodka, and even an expert could not tell the difference between a $150 bottle of vodka and a $30 bottle in a blind taste test.
Figure out which of Ghengis Kahn's tens of millions of descendents.can reunite the Mongols
- A finger curls on the paw
  It's Putin
Tell Republicans that Gay Russians are having IVF just so they can get abortions at the free medical clinic.

"We'll wait and see if Trump is elected and pulls out of NATO first."

I suppose it's not too much to ask that everyone just tells Trump that they've done it. He's not like he'll check or anything.
- No way, Republicans are too scared of doing anything that might anger him.

I am quite curious if Japan will take back their Kuril Islands in case of war. Russia already pulled their equipment from the islands. I was surprised to find out that Japan and Russia (or better the USSR) never really signed a peace treaty after WWII. So it seems technically they are still at war

kazakstan japan war
Generally speaking wars are assumed to be over when the shooting has stopped and there's been a change of government.

Russian foreign policy equals to domestic policy. They always bark outside when they have domestic issues, like people revolting against Putin. It is getting bit jarring to shift blame to NATO, and it is surprising that it works to any Russians.

sir/ma'am this is ncd

Why do they want to declare war on the Seattle Mariners?

As a Mariners fan it's probably because we gave up on Kelenic
- More likely, because we betrayed Geno.

We got a coalition of the willing, son!

You think they have brain power left to maintain those?
- Well, they had thousands and honestly, only one or two functioning would be enough. And the odds are that they can scrape a few together.

Western military industrial complex:
Really? Can we start now?
- European families, is our life ruined now?
Putin won't stop at Ukraine...
Keep on hoping Putler will stop here, Neville. He fucking won't.
- From what I read, Chamberlain wasn't as weak and forgiving as it seems. He actually just tried to push back the inevitable while his country was preparing for war. GB was quite ill prepared at first
Yes, and?

You are obviously either lost and/or clueless lol. Run along now little troll.
This and other comments of yours here make it obvious you don't know what this community is.
Lemmy world is literally made to be reddit in the fediverse lol
