I think there may be war in Europe !. No peace in our time!.

[Rational man]

Though news is sketchy, i think we maybe on the brink of war in Europe once more. I dont want to sound alarmist but it doesnt look good. I hope im wrong but many people will die who wanted peace and love, but bone- headed generals dont care. They talk of ideology!. I will.die.anyhow due to.disease but i hate to see people suffer. Humankind is so mixed up and failed. Maybe my time here is comng to an end. I wish everyone peace in your heart and mind.

 

[veryhappyhuman]

Isn't Putin already de-escalating? I very much doubt anything will come out of this. Ukraine for its part is also pushing back on US' beating of the war drum (see Zelensky's comments). A war now would be hugely unpopular and is basically political suicide in pretty much every country.

The American economy is collapsing. They need a lie to explain to the public. As always, they need a war. At the same time, America does not want to lose Europe. The establishment of trade relations between Europe and Russia and the fact that countries are gradually breaking away from NATO are a serious threat to the United States. They are trying to provoke war. They are looking for legal grounds for the sanctions they want to impose on Russia. The goal is to tame Russia first and then China. This time America's job seems difficult.

I am not sure whether humor is appropriate in this situation. But if this becomes WW3 at least we Germans have not started it once again...

 

[Crazy4u]

I cannot believe how bad things have become. The world is going nuts. How could people survive all this shit? people didn't recover from pandemic. Now they want war. Fuxx them.

 

[JinZhin]

I still doubt there will be full on WW3 type of event, but things are going to shit, very fast, undoubtedly- it's part of the reason why I hope I ctb or get killed off quickly, sounds better than living through hell that is awaiting humanity and this planet... just not worth it

 

[Fakereality]

It's not the generals which control wars or have a say in it, but the corporations and rich elites and today's world glorified merchants do not like wars atleast not in the develop sector of it like Europe they tried to limit war economy and such to middle east and Africa so there's really not much need to worry what's happening right now is empty drum beating no one's gonna raise any jack shit war in Europe.

The warning was there 8 Years ago . The name Donetsk may be a place.of.many regrets and the west closed its eyes and now this. Just awful.
I think Putin has gone mad. !!

Putin is saying alot of things!

Both the West and China, and maybe Russia also, want to control the world in their own specific ways, and given the current circumstances - with an economic recession/depression, supply chain disruptions, viruses, and social issues - the powder keg will never be more ready to be lit, so the world is ripe for something on the scale of the two previous world wars.

The West has already destroyed some countries or financially enslaved them, and we need to learn that, some day, another power will rise, and then the world won't be politically unipolar any longer. As I see it, the USA has been acting like Nazi Germany for at least the last 60 years, and the EU is the new Soviet Union - and I don't think that we are prepared for how the world will turn out if China or Russia becomes the dominant world powers - it may be something completely new - I'm thinking China's social credit system on steroids.

As some have pointed out, it's sad for those who don't want to die, but for myself, I don't really care - and since I could end my life at any time - I don't even have to be afraid of what may come.

 

[Gustav Hartmann]

When the Warsaw Pact ended, the NATO should be ended too. The USA is the greatest warmonger.

 

[Rational man]

I didn't ask to come into this world and no one is asking me to stay.. If humankind is determined.to destroy itself then so be it..All i need is peace and freedom.from pain.

What if these are the throes of a new era? Do you think the elites will let some peasants expose their machinations? The peace that we have enjoyed was that of an oblivious, irresponsible slumber, while we were being poisoned and stripped of our humanity.

Then, one day you wake up and realize that art is ugly, architecture is not far behind, and we haven't done anything like the manned lunar landings in many decades. I therefore embrace strife and conflict, for they bring a window of opportunity to fight for beauty and truth... I don't want to be suppressed peacefully while I am typing on my phone and Idiocracy becomes a documentary.

I don't want to think, wake up, or realize anything. I don't fight or flight. I freeze. I avoid everything and have been like that since I was a child. I liked to hide behind stuff to avoid people and be inside my human den!

When I was a child, I was in an elevator and it stopped working. I didn't scream or ask for help because I thought noone wants to help me and I didn't want to burden people. Hours later, someone picked me up. I remember many people asking why I didn't scream for help and I never answered the question. Only people on SS know about it now. I bet you didn't expect my answer

 

[Insomniac]

there won't be any war as we know it. there's already a "silent" world war going on but I don't believe there will be an explosive one.

also, if there is a war in Europe, I hope journalists who threw oil on the fire die first.

So sad story which I can relate to and yet when i was 20 something, i lived and loved in the fast lane. Now, im almost hermit like and i fear so much. This happened with the onslaught of disease. I feel your pain❤

19th/20th century dictators destructively killed millions with their ideology. 21st century dictators also can kill us all in an instant. Freedom to live is taken away if meglamaniacs want to cause destruction.

Humans are addicted to war and conflict. They may talk about love, peace, and getting along, but nothing gets their juices flowing like bloodshed. The ostensible good guys usually commit as many atrocities as the "bad guys". Blame evolution. Blame whatever. Any study of history proves this beyond a shadow of a doubt.

Perception is reality, meaning that both sides probably feed their own people with false news. Now, I don't know everything, but from what I understand, NATO's persistence in expanding eastwards is in violation of the Minsc peace agreements between NATO and Russia, which has made Putin mad. At the same time, the West is trying to provoke China in their immediate maritime surroundings. Keep in mind that the USA has basically spread its military bases all over the globe and is already encircling Russia and China.

In addition, the western news media hasn't been truthful in their reporting about any wars in recent years. For example, "The West had to invade the Middle East to find Bin Laden", "Saddam had weapons of mass destruction" and "Gaddafi was a vile man who killed his own people". Not everything is completely untrue, of course, but people who live in the West are a part of a narrative, just as the people who live in Russia or China are part of their own narrative. We can't keep being blind to the expansionist imperialism any longer.

On the other hand, if there is a large-scale war and Russia and China win, they may act exactly like the West has done thus far. Those who live will get to see how it pans out. I have a gut feeling that one or both sides in this conflict in Europe will destroy the Ukraine with nukes, so as to create an uninhabitable zone, as a wedge, between the two powers.

i just dont trust any leaders in power. They are driven by ideology that is a means of control. We are just pawns in this awfulness. Ive no doubt that we are the sacrificial ' lambs ' . We only need to consult with history to see how megalomania runs through the blood of the ideologue s.

Do you think nuclear war is possible now?. Putin has 4000+ strike missile warheads and America has similar numbers. PEOPLE of the 19th century said that ww1 would never happen!. I only see.megalomaniacs now who have the powernto kill.us all.before i ctb!.

Just watched the news, they are now in the phase of nuclear drills in Belarus. Eversince the 2000s recession, there have been wars and H1N1 and Anthrax outbreak. Same pattern now with the global economy dwindling, just with different countries and a different virus.

Russia is already conducting nuclear drills, so a nuclear war is not out of the question. We may even find ourselves in a who-blinks-first kind of situation, in which a war might start just because one side believes that the other side might attack.

Russia will not be caught off guard like on June 22, 1941.
