The West’s support isn’t coming quickly enough to match the supplies Russia is getting from its allies

    Missiles from North Korea, drones from Iran, and a massive amount of technical assistance from China. Russian President Vladimir Putin may complain about the backing Ukraine is receiving from its Nato allies, but it is doubtful that Russia would be able to maintain its military offensive without the help it is getting from its motley collection of autocratic friends.

    Just as Russia must be denied victory in Ukraine, so Iran’s attempts to destabilise the Middle East must be resisted, and China’s plan to conquer Taiwan be denied.

    Hot take: I don’t think WW3 will be more devastating than the others bc most of the weapons needed to produce a war of that caliber have been used up in ukraine already.

      Horny at the thought someone will drop a big fat nuke right in the US and they wouldn’t be able to stop it because they already sent away all their iron dome shit to defend genocide, so they just have to sit and watch as all of their military bases get decimated.

      Think about what specifically remains in Western stockpiles, please. WMDs delivered by the air force. We can talk about why WW3 hasn’t resulted from precision missile strikes of NATO command centers in Ukraine, or Iran precision striking “Israel” as a warning they can do the same to all of their nuclear reactors. We can talk about us “already being in WWIII” (my take, as we aren’t really at peace at all LOL). But in the event of the actual strategic level mass missile exchange, I think people are correct to say it would be the end of civilization as we know it on Earth.
