    Like genuine question, do you guys think we can genuinely win this? I mean, we’re being attacked on two fronts, by the USA and by Russia working together. Don’t mean to be a doomer, but these countries have had quite the experiences with infiltration, manipulation and wars.

      I don’t know what history books you’ve read but the United States has a very long and documented history of not winning wars. Especially when their own population are so against it.

      Meanwhile Russia is in no state to threaten anyone. What little they have in terms of military assets are tied up in Ukraine. If they try to attack Europe they’d get flattened in about 2 minutes.

      Anyway it looks like trump’s probably going to get impeached and presumably he doesn’t want that to happen so he’s unlikely to actually start World War III for reasons of self-preservation.
