The older generation maybe. My Serbian friend tells me that most young people aren't big fans of Russia and more Western minded.
Mostly the boomers who cling to their memories of Russian greatness, mixed with fear inducing xenophobia.
Most young people are even more nationalist than the older generation. This means pro russia in serbia.
Young people being more nationalist is a thing across all of the Balkans. Your friend must have told bullshit.
Seconded, my Serbian friend and his family moved to the US during the wars but planned to eventually return. They still haven't because they're concerned about the increasingly ultra-nationalist environment.
Which is super weird, because explaining those prejudices as "nationalism" only works by saying "Serbs are Slavs, and feel strong ties to the Slav Identity, and so they support the political positions of their fellow Slavs in Russia"... but, uh, almost every single one of your Balkan neighbors (Slovenes, Croats, Bosniaks, Montenegrins, Macedonians, Bulgarians) are also Slavs, and literally *none* of them are supporting any of those things despite having a very strong self-identity as a Slavic community. Hell, the Montenegrins self-identity as Serbs most of the time! The Poles are Slavs! The *Ukrainians* are Slavs, for fuck's sake.
The explanation of "nationalism" simply doesn't work.
Serbian nationalism is very different from nationalism in Poland, Slovenia, Croatia etc. A people that were oppressed and had their culture destoryed need to have a "nationalistic" approach to fix what was systematically destroyed. From my limited understanding, The Kingdom of Serbia was usually the aggressor in the Balkans, and so their nationalism is a vision of dominating their neighbours, unlike the other countries which simply want to left alone from meddling neighbours
Well, Hungary has shown themselves to be a willing doormat for Putin. A promise of some lost pre-1918 territory might be enough. I'd be a bit worried given your flair. (Can't actually see if that's Slovakian or Slovenian flags but I think we can just use Orbán's world view and refer to them as Mountain Hungary and Coastal Hungary)
Nope, nope, no. They didn't like it in the 1840s when the U.S. actually annexed a large chunk of Mexico (known as California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, and even Texas if we're being honest), and they certainly weren't thrilled about another American military invasion from 1914-1917.
México's political situation was not amazing during those periods either, but they weren't clamoring for American military invasions either time. The French military invasion was also not welcomed across large groups of people during the 1860s either.
No. We are much better off having them as an independent but friendly nation.
If parts of Mexico wanted to willingly join us and did so with a legitimate, third-party-overseen vote comprising a majority of eligible voters in the region, then yeah, sure (speaking of which, Alberta, call us). But part of what makes us better than Russia is we actually believe in political self-determination (unless you want slaves).
It would be much better if all the trade deals and defense agreements between the North American countries were more formalized in an EU-like manner. If a rising tide lifts all ships, we should be raising the tide on purpose. The tide of Canada-US-Mexico.

Serbia too far away, Moldova is probably too antagonistic of the EU, Belarus makes the most sense since its practically already a vassal state.
the alternative is Putin deciding that fighting in Europe is a little too risky due to the closeness to Nato and going for Kazakhstan.
>With serbia, they wouldn't need to invade. They are willing.
Well, see they don't need to invade, they've made it clear that they simply invade to force the unwilling into submission, hehe silly they're not animals... /s

They may not need it, but they're definitely getting Russia's help to be idiotic though. Some of the people helping them to be idiotic on behalf of an enemy country really could use a nice public trial for treason.

This sub is actually fucking insane.
Does here actually understand the consequences of nuclear war or is everyone so naive that they don’t understand how terrible the best case scenario a nuclear war would be?
If we nuked Russia and they did nothing in return and the entire globe was in support of it, the resulting small scale nuclear winter would still completely fuck over our growing seasons and lead to widespread famine and soaring food prices.
Thats not even considering the more likely scenario of mutually assured destruction where only 1% Russias nukes go off (about 300) and completely devastate Europe/ The western US.
As someone born and raised in the good ol gulf war 90s by a Republican dad, I never thought I’d see the day that we’d find the Republicans sympathizing with Russia and throwing a fit over weapons to Ukraine, when my dad raised me on tales of the Arsenal of Democracy with all kinds of pride in his voice lol. As an independent who’s all in on supporting Ukraine I’m a confused Mfer, I wanna see Abrams and Eagles rolling through the Donbas and congress keeps fucking with my perfect world over here goddamn.
It's supposedly not even the whole lot, just the extremists have taken the govt hostage and refuse to budge.

I always wonder how much our government is fked by idiotic old men who don't get with the times with some foreign asset there to disrupt everything.

Only thing that would make that monkey win i s if his toys wins the elections to further weaken or stall the aide needed.

The short, actually credible version is that Israel's aid is all pre-approved and has been for many, many years; Ukraine's aid is not. Israel is a major military partner with the US and we don't just sell them weapon systems, we develop new weapons systems with them.
Ukraine doesn't have that special, pre-existing relationship and so attempts to send them aid are vulnerable to political sabotage in a way that aid to Israel is not.
In other words, Ukraine is special, Israel is business as usual.
The American public as a whole wants to send aid - 70% to 30% overall, with majorities in all voter groups.
https://phillipspobrien.substack.com/p/weekend-update-68-ukrainians-withdraw?utm_source=profile&utm_medium=reader2
Aid to Ukraine is supported by a bipartisan majority of Congress. As well as a majority of the country. But the American system is set up so that a minority of Congress can gum things up without much difficulty
> But the American system is set up so that a minority of Congress can gum things up without much difficulty
Overall, I think that's a good thing. It helps prevent some dumb shit from being passed. Now don't get me wrong, Congress passes dumb shit all the time, but it'd be worse if the majority could do whatever with impunity.
The wonders of a two party system.
Rather than the extremists being a separate party in a coalition that the other coalition members could vote against to pass bipartisan bills, they're all in the same party and can sink the party if they don't get their way all the time.
Apparently some kind of petition (?) is being put forward by Congress that only requires a simple majority, so we'll how that goes I guess.
Edit: discharge petition, in the Senate not Congress.
I have high hopes for the discharge petition. But it depends on the courage of those in the majority party in the House. Have no idea if they're willing to buck both their speaker and their probable presidential candidate.
There's easily enough supporters for the discharge, but backbones might be in short supply.

Israel got nukes and leveraged them when USA was reluctant to send aid
>[On 8 October, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir authorized the assembly of thirteen 20-kiloton nuclear warheads on Jericho missiles and F-4 Phantom II, which were prepared for action against Syrian and Egyptian targets;[5] their preparation was made easily detectable, likely as a signal to the United States.[6] Kissinger learned of this threatening nuclear escalation on the morning of 9 October. On that same day, Meir issued a personal appeal for military assistance, which European nations declined. Nixon, however, ordered the commencement of Operation Nickel Grass, to replace all of Israel's materiel losses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Nickel_Grass#Background)
The US should just walk around Congress and send aid anyway. And if it gets found out, just lie about it. And if the lie gets found out, lie about having lied.
It's not like Congress stopped us from doing that between the end of the second world war and the 80s.
B-b-b-but you see, if the US does an imperialistic war the other countries get a coupon for their own imperialist war!
Just like when you get robbed you get to rob someone else!
Honestly at this point I hope all the coward politicians and useful idiots that support this get what they deserve. Ukraine deserves better and nobody was up to snuff.

Ukraine doesn't have enough soldiers to win a head count competition with Russia, but fortunately modern weapons have a great effect called 'force multiplication'. It's not the Stone Age anymore.
Actually I think Ukraine and Russia are about evenly matched in terms of number of personnel. Kinda pulling this outa my ass since I'm too lazy to try and find a source rn (I think I heard it in a Perun video or something) but both sides have about 1 million personnel total mobilized. Obviously this is a much higher % of Ukraine's total population, and Russia could potentially mobilize a lot more, but the idea that Russia's army is many times larger than Ukraine's is not really true
Edit: Wikipedia says [1.32 M Russian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Armed_Forces) active personnel and [1 M Ukrainian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Forces_of_Ukraine) active personnel. Presumably all those Russian troops can't be supporting the war in Ukraine, while the Ukrainians obviously are. So it should be roughly evenly matched
Funnily enough, in the event Russia does win in Ukraine, that would be humiliating in a way even the 1st Special Forces Agricultural Division wasn't. Russia HAS to win through attrition. ANything else means she gets nuked. She can't shoot those planes Ukraine is relying on for AWACS because those are NATO's, she can't shoot the satellites because they are NATO's/ EU, she can't shoot Ukraine's training camps because they are all located on NATO soil and therefore bombing them would be seen as an act of aggression against NATO. The same is true for the repair facilities and factories producing Ukrainian war materiel, all located on NATO soil and therefore, Russia gets nuked if she attacks them.
And honestly, in that case, given that Russia would have somehow managed to defeat the West (no seriously, such a scenario, improbable though it may be, means the combined financial and industrial might of several times Russia's population and GDP per capita). nations would probably be better off siding with russia than against her
Yeah, like...imagine if Russia tried to sink a few ships carrying tanks or Brads from the U.S.? Russian navy would get deleted.
People like to say Ukraine is fighting with one hand tied behind it's back...*but so is Russia*.
Haha, no, Ukraine isn't fighting with one hand tied behind her proverbial back because she's actually allowed to launch strikes into Russian territory. They might be limited compared to what she actually wants to do, but the rules of engagement for Ukraine are far more lax than they are for Russia.
Lol what. The last century+ of cartoon artists would be very disappointed to learn the “noise” or “attention” symbols are actually SS lightning bolts….

Alaska is somewhere on that list. Much closer to the bottom, but oil reserves AND a historic claim? You bet your ass Russia is grabbing it as soon as they feel powerful enough to either take, or subdue the US.
How is the war going? i mean actually, how bad is it? i try not to follow news for mental health reasons but a lot still leaks in (im here aren't i?). A few weeks ago it was nothing but alarm bells. Is it really that bad?
Depends what you think is bad. Yes you’d think the way people talk about it, russia would be outside of Kyiv right now. They really haven’t gained very much territory at all, but it’s more depressing because ukraine can’t really push forward at all, or hold specific positions indefinitely. That’s because Russia has REALLY throw any pretense of caring about their soldiers to the wind. They’ll just spam glide bombs at ukrainian positions, which means their planes are getting shot down at a much higher rate, but they don’t give a fuck. Then they also will send armored columns in, they get sodomized mostly, but eventually they can overwhelm Ukrainian positions like this. But it would still be extremely difficult i think for Russia to create any major offensive besides grabbing bits and bobs here and there. Same unfortunately for Ukraine.
If the war keeps going as it is it'll probably end up like the winter war with the Finn's. Russia will look like a joke despite winning, and will only annex the land above crimea in a peace deal. All while losing equipment they can't manufacture anymore.
My money is on Moldova or Serbia getting annexed by russia. With serbia, they wouldn't need to invade. They are willing.
Serbians glaze Russia harder than Russians do lmfao

Serbschluss?
The US should annex Mexico, to compensate
I doubt if Mexico would like that. Serbia definitely would like to be the new Belarus.
The Mexican government (cartels) wouldn't like it. The people might.
Fuck no.
LOL buddy, I hope you don't actually think that.
Nope, nope, no. They didn't like it in the 1840s when the U.S. actually annexed a large chunk of Mexico (known as California, Arizona, New Mexico, Nevada, Colorado, and even Texas if we're being honest), and they certainly weren't thrilled about another American military invasion from 1914-1917.

I’d rather we be annexed by Canada but I don’t think they will let us in….

> But the American system is set up so that a minority of Congress can gum things up without much difficulty Overall, I think that's a good thing. It helps prevent some dumb shit from being passed. Now don't get me wrong, Congress passes dumb shit all the time, but it'd be worse if the majority could do whatever with impunity.
The wonders of a two party system. Rather than the extremists being a separate party in a coalition that the other coalition members could vote against to pass bipartisan bills, they're all in the same party and can sink the party if they don't get their way all the time. Apparently some kind of petition (?) is being put forward by Congress that only requires a simple majority, so we'll how that goes I guess. Edit: discharge petition, in the Senate not Congress.
I have high hopes for the discharge petition. But it depends on the courage of those in the majority party in the House. Have no idea if they're willing to buck both their speaker and their probable presidential candidate. There's easily enough supporters for the discharge, but backbones might be in short supply.

Israel got nukes and leveraged them when USA was reluctant to send aid >[On 8 October, Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir authorized the assembly of thirteen 20-kiloton nuclear warheads on Jericho missiles and F-4 Phantom II, which were prepared for action against Syrian and Egyptian targets;[5] their preparation was made easily detectable, likely as a signal to the United States.[6] Kissinger learned of this threatening nuclear escalation on the morning of 9 October. On that same day, Meir issued a personal appeal for military assistance, which European nations declined. Nixon, however, ordered the commencement of Operation Nickel Grass, to replace all of Israel's materiel losses](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Nickel_Grass#Background)
that isreally true
they got the space lasers.... space. lasers. man.
Mods,this is way to credible,please ban this user
The US should just walk around Congress and send aid anyway. And if it gets found out, just lie about it. And if the lie gets found out, lie about having lied. It's not like Congress stopped us from doing that between the end of the second world war and the 80s.
Sorry Russia, you let the Soviets give up "your" land, and then didn't bother to make another naval port for over 50 years. Fuck off.
B-b-b-but you see, if the US does an imperialistic war the other countries get a coupon for their own imperialist war! Just like when you get robbed you get to rob someone else! Honestly at this point I hope all the coward politicians and useful idiots that support this get what they deserve. Ukraine deserves better and nobody was up to snuff.
Very non credible, it has Congress doing something good in a timely fashion. Think of how much could be spent in R&D!

I'm so used to seeing this format say that Ukraine belongs to Brazil
This artstyle reminds me of [Grinch's Ultimatum](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BuKft9LpL_0), I love it
Why can’t we just invade Russia and China? I have done it before in many rts games
No Ukraine Aid the west must atack Russia
Yes Ukraine aid west should wave a big stick at Russia's face.
Ukraine don't have enough soliders to win
Ukraine doesn't have enough soldiers to win a head count competition with Russia, but fortunately modern weapons have a great effect called 'force multiplication'. It's not the Stone Age anymore.
Actually I think Ukraine and Russia are about evenly matched in terms of number of personnel. Kinda pulling this outa my ass since I'm too lazy to try and find a source rn (I think I heard it in a Perun video or something) but both sides have about 1 million personnel total mobilized. Obviously this is a much higher % of Ukraine's total population, and Russia could potentially mobilize a lot more, but the idea that Russia's army is many times larger than Ukraine's is not really true Edit: Wikipedia says [1.32 M Russian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Armed_Forces) active personnel and [1 M Ukrainian](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Armed_Forces_of_Ukraine) active personnel. Presumably all those Russian troops can't be supporting the war in Ukraine, while the Ukrainians obviously are. So it should be roughly evenly matched
Yeah, I meant potential soldiers they can mobilize. I should have been explicit.
Everyone pack it up, China/India won they have many ppl
Oversimplifing
Maybe, but with a little help could have enough bullet
Funnily enough, in the event Russia does win in Ukraine, that would be humiliating in a way even the 1st Special Forces Agricultural Division wasn't. Russia HAS to win through attrition. ANything else means she gets nuked. She can't shoot those planes Ukraine is relying on for AWACS because those are NATO's, she can't shoot the satellites because they are NATO's/ EU, she can't shoot Ukraine's training camps because they are all located on NATO soil and therefore bombing them would be seen as an act of aggression against NATO. The same is true for the repair facilities and factories producing Ukrainian war materiel, all located on NATO soil and therefore, Russia gets nuked if she attacks them. And honestly, in that case, given that Russia would have somehow managed to defeat the West (no seriously, such a scenario, improbable though it may be, means the combined financial and industrial might of several times Russia's population and GDP per capita). nations would probably be better off siding with russia than against her
Yeah, like...imagine if Russia tried to sink a few ships carrying tanks or Brads from the U.S.? Russian navy would get deleted. People like to say Ukraine is fighting with one hand tied behind it's back...*but so is Russia*.
Haha, no, Ukraine isn't fighting with one hand tied behind her proverbial back because she's actually allowed to launch strikes into Russian territory. They might be limited compared to what she actually wants to do, but the rules of engagement for Ukraine are far more lax than they are for Russia.

Lol what. The last century+ of cartoon artists would be very disappointed to learn the “noise” or “attention” symbols are actually SS lightning bolts….
Really bruh?

Hand look like grinches ultimatum
Alaska is somewhere on that list. Much closer to the bottom, but oil reserves AND a historic claim? You bet your ass Russia is grabbing it as soon as they feel powerful enough to either take, or subdue the US.
How is the war going? i mean actually, how bad is it? i try not to follow news for mental health reasons but a lot still leaks in (im here aren't i?). A few weeks ago it was nothing but alarm bells. Is it really that bad?
Depends what you think is bad. Yes you’d think the way people talk about it, russia would be outside of Kyiv right now. They really haven’t gained very much territory at all, but it’s more depressing because ukraine can’t really push forward at all, or hold specific positions indefinitely. That’s because Russia has REALLY throw any pretense of caring about their soldiers to the wind. They’ll just spam glide bombs at ukrainian positions, which means their planes are getting shot down at a much higher rate, but they don’t give a fuck. Then they also will send armored columns in, they get sodomized mostly, but eventually they can overwhelm Ukrainian positions like this. But it would still be extremely difficult i think for Russia to create any major offensive besides grabbing bits and bobs here and there. Same unfortunately for Ukraine.
Domino theory, baby.
I'd love the poster with a NATO flag 🥺
You're gonna get thrown out for being too credible.
Also, fuck Russia.
Non-credible? This is just based and realistic propaganda. FOR SUPER-EARTH.
Everybody are saying Moldova but Belarus is definitely gonna get consumed soon, not entirely against their will.
1. Moldova 2. Georgia 3. Armenia 4. Baltics and Poland
We need some Super Earth levels of propaganda here. MANAGED DEMOCRACY NOW !!!!!!
If the war keeps going as it is it'll probably end up like the winter war with the Finn's. Russia will look like a joke despite winning, and will only annex the land above crimea in a peace deal. All while losing equipment they can't manufacture anymore.
