WW3 is more likely to happen if Russia wins. If we show our bellies to Russia, China would move on Taiwan. If Ukraine wins, we kill two birds with one drone.

If Ukraine had fallen, China would have pushed a blockade on Taiwan, the domestic pressure on Xi would have been insurmountable, especially after our mess in Afghanistan.

Zelensky had the clutch save, if he took that ride things would have gotten dark.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
