Let’s face it Russia miscalculated and they’re now in way too deep to be able to retreat which is why they’re bringing nukes to the table.
The West doesn’t lose much if Russia “wins” this conflict (it wouldn’t really be that much of a victory) and if they swallow their pride and meet their demands or at least negotiates a solution that works for both side. Russia still loses because they f***ed up their reputation and economy for a long time and even helped inspire others to join NATO.
Instead we have redacts in the West calling for no fly zones, fast tracking Ukraine’s EU membership, making it legal for their citizens to go fight in Ukraine, etc.
making it legal for their citizens to go fight in Ukraine, etc
Wait which countries have done this
Lol the USSR was a lot less racist than they are now
I actually had family members who studied there
Nationalism only increased since the dissolution of the Soviet Union
Maybe you're right
I'm only saying that there is no such thing in this country that racism prevails. Many people have progressive views also.
This is still a problem that manifests itself in people who work in government structures, but I hope with EU integration it will be resolved quickly.
It's scary how it's commonly accepted that we should collectively punish the Russian population for the faults of an authoritarian government that they have no influence over.
with the whole world including parts of russia turning against putin, what has he got to lose by doing the unthinkable?
making it legal for their citizens to go fight in Ukraine, etc
Wait which countries have done this
denmark i think
making it legal for their citizens to go fight in Ukraine, etc
Wait which countries have done this
Maybe legal was the wrong phrasing but many countries are allowing their citizens to go fight in Ukraine.
Legit redacts.

Most countries in South America, Asia and Africa don't give a f*** about this whole conflit. Only some western countries are turning against Putin.

Well EU membership seems to have done little for other countries to solve their racism

Not only some, all of them
Also the war is happening in Europe so that might be the reason why they care more but none of the others support Russia tho
Nationalism =/= racism
People have lost their minds lmfao
OH NO I CANT PLAY XBOX OR PLAYSTATION THIS IS MY BREAKING POINT.

Imagine blocking Russian’s population from trying to distract themselves from the poverty and conflict going on.
These Russian kids gonna end up joining the Russian army and playing COD in real life

They targeted gamers.
Gamers.
We're a group of people who will sit for hours, days, even weeks on end performing some of the hardest, most mentally demanding tasks. Over, and over, and over all for nothing more than a little digital token saying we did.
We'll punish our selfs doing things others would consider torture, because we think it's fun.
We'll spend most if not all of our free time min maxing the stats of a fictional character all to draw out a single extra point of damage per second.
Many of us have made careers out of doing just these things: slogging through the grind, all day, the same quests over and over, hundreds of times to the point where we know evety little detail such that some have attained such gamer nirvana that they can literally play these games blindfolded.
Do these people have any idea how many controllers have been smashed, systems over heated, disks and carts destroyed 8n frustration? All to latter be referred to as bragging rights?
These people honestly think this is a battle they can win? They take our media? We're already building a new one without them. They take our devs? Gamers aren't shy about throwing their money else where, or even making the games our selves. They think calling us racist, mysoginistic, rape apologists is going to change us? We've been called worse things by prepubescent 10 year olds with a s***ty head set. They picked a fight against a group that's already grown desensitized to their strategies and methods. Who enjoy the battle of attrition they've threatened us with. Who take it as a challange when they tell us we no longer matter. Our obsession with proving we can after being told we can't is so deeply ingrained from years of dealing with big brothers/sisters and friends laughing at how pathetic we used to be that proving you people wrong has become a very real need; a honed reflex.
Gamers are competative, hard core, by nature. We love a challange. The worst thing you did in all of this was to challange us. You're not special, you're not original, you're not the first; this is just another boss fight.

I don't even think they actually believe this will actually happen. To inflict suffering on the Russian people is the point itself, not a means to an end. Even the gamers aren't safe
But seriously this Cold War is a lot more fueled by nationalism and will only further fuel nationalism. It's no longer an ideological battle, it's an inter-imperialist conflict.
