    Mutually Assured Destruction really does take nukes out-of-play, don’t it? Even the threat stretches credulity

      Honestly, I’m surprised there’s not some sweeping conspiracy theory that the Ukrainian invasion, Trump, and all of the related bullshit in been between are a military-industrial complex plot to have another cold war to drive profits to everyone involved.

      It looks like some kind of crazy conspiracy sometimes

        That’s… Not a conspiracy. The maidan is quite literally Russian/US proxy shit playing out with citizens getting sniped in the market.

        Ed: I guess I some be specific, intent is unknown but what happened in reality is certainly us/Russian proxy shit spilling over and it does happen to be a huge boon to the mic.

      Not just the US, my German arms manufacturer shares are also constantly on the rise.

      War is so profitable :)

      God bless em! I want more brand new weapons of man-made horrors beyond my comprehension being field-tested on the Russian military.
