You just know that has to be bad for environment.

When doves fart....

You just know that has to be bad for environment.

Pearl Harbor is still being polluted by oil from the Japanese attack. Parts of France are off limits due to danger of explosives left from World War One. Mines still explode on the Falklands from the war there. Every now and then a sheep blows up. So yeah, war isn't good for the environment.

True but a missile cruiser is the nowadays equivalent, the most expensive powerful ship outside an aircraft carrier.

The latest official story from the Russian lies industry is that there was an accident and then it sunk in stormy seas.

All of this is important because if Ukraine loses it's ports at Odessa it becomes an economic basket case. Most people don't realize just how much of our shit still gets moved around by sea. It's also one of the reasons so many countries landlocked in Africa are permanently fucked.

Yup. Britain became powerful because it controlled the sea lanes. It controlled the choke points like Gibraltar, Singapore and the Suez Canal. It's why London became the world's tranding center and the legal system governing the seas is in London. Whoever has the most powerful navy rules world trade. But crafty private corporations can usurp a nations military to guard their interests. The East India Company used the British military for their own interests. Now the US military is bing used for the interests of corporations. There lies the danger.

Ukraine could turn into another world war real easy. Backing Putin into a corner is dangerous. If we force him to use tactical nukes we are off to something nobody wins. A better alternative is give him an out, make Ukraine neutral. We have pushed Russia and China together and now other countries are siding with them. Geopolitically that is not where you want to be.

Anyways, the western governments are operating on full on crazy mode and the citizens seem naive on what the consequences are. Darwin at work.

It was a missile cruiser. Battleships are obsolete.

I'm not sure how the lying liars of Russia think that your flagship accidentally suddenly bursting into flames and sinking is so much better than it being sunk by the Ukraine. :D

This guy is a total dick. Really gets on my nerves. Is he up for reelection this year to do this shitty photo op?

No the prick has another couple of years minimum - it's an embarrassment. He's in massive reverse gear after being pretty fucking friendly with Russian oligarchs but now using Ukraine to try and distract from the spectacularly unpopular revelations that he was at about 10 or 20 parties during lockdown and then lied about it.

Basically he got in because 100k conservative party members chose him in the 'primary' and the guy in the other party was deemed as completely unelectable by swing voters - like Bernie Saunders x 10.
