"Because in 2024, Ukraine is no longer facing Russia. Soldiers from North Korea are standing in front of Ukraine. Let's be honest. Already in Ukraine, the Iranian 'Shahedis' are killing civilians absolutely openly, without any shame," said Zaluzhny, adding that North Korean and Chinese weapons are flying into Ukraine. Zaluzhny urged Ukraine's allies to draw the right conclusions. "It is still possible to stop it here, on the territory of Ukraine. But for some reason our partners do not want to understand this. It is obvious that Ukraine already has too many enemies. Ukraine will survive with technology, but it is not clear whether it can win this battle alone," he said.

World War happens when at least two great powers are on either side, according to League of Nations

It seems like it hasn't "bloomed" into something resembling the scale of the world wars yet. Ukraine is massive though, has room to contain a lot of warfare, but as of now it's still mostly contained.

I'm sure Putin would rather escalate than go back, though.

If this war leaves Ukraine, I'm gonna consider my days numbered. If it leaves Ukraine we'll probably have less than a decade left, and those years won't be good years.

Putin is so fucked in the head for wanting to conquer so bad that he's willing to do this, Russian people are equally fucked in the head for supporting it.

You could say his Poutine has curdled a little too much

If this war leaves Ukraine

You don’t think the fighting in Palestine, Iran, Syria, and Lebanon is connected to this?

Sort of, but a more indirectly than the war we're comparing it to. I know Russians are in the area, but the siege of Gaza seems fairly out of the Russians' control, a bit separated. Not sure about the extent of their presence in Lebanon. I saw something about a Russian group attacked by US helicopters in Syria not too long ago, but I don't remember the details nor did I really check to validate it at all.

I never thought I'd say this but I wish I could own a gun for self defence legally.

I need hypersonic ammo.

If you saw how fast those non-nuclear MIRVs slammed into Ukraine from space you wouldn't even think the thought of shooting it down like that.

Those didn't cruise. They just shot into the ground. From high above the clouds to hitting the dirt in less than a second.

Yes i know. I was being a bit tonge in cheek with my comment. I am relived that this time it was a basically an inert payload.

The little ant wants a needle to wield against the exterminators.
Maybe you should bury deep instead.

Good luck, antman.
