Bad news for NATO means good news for the rest of the planet.
I’m thinking a wide collapse of the front due to shortages in munitions and personnel
That’s a very real possibility at this point. NATO is admitting they simply don’t have any more weapons left to give, and as we’re seeing with mass mobilization of children, women, and the elderly, Ukrainian manpower has now been depleted now. The reality is that people conscripted off the street without any training aren’t going to be able to effectively fight a seasoned professional army even if they did get all the weapons they need.
The copium is also running out.
What kind of bad news exactly? Any ideas?
My guess is that Russia is likely to go on a serious offensive soon, and whatever is left of the Ukrainian army is not going to be able to hold that back. At that point the whole stalemate narrative is going to start collapsing because Russia will start taking serious amounts of territory.
Zelenskyy’s penis has fallen off.
Ill tidings, bodings of inopportune augury. I think a spring loaded toilet seat would avoid pissy seats left down at bars and other public places.
A guy over on AskLemmy wanted to know how the war was going, subtly implying they were looking for good news.
If you sent them this their head would pop a fucking gasket.
That thread is a fascinating window into the alternate reality wonderland that western libs inhabit.
They literally think they can imagination themselves into the world they want, and act with hostility to anyone/anything saying they can’t.
Liberalism become so much like a cult, the more their world view becomes divorced from reality the more they refuse to engage with facts.
Always been tbh. I mean it kind of has to be when the ideology at a core is nothing more than nazism with progressive aesthetics.
I agree, it’s just becoming ever more clear just how unhinged these people are now that the liberal world order is under pressure.
It’s going to be glorious when they finally snap back to reality. Maybe then things will finally get better around here.
We could end up seeing a major backlash against liberalism when people are finally forced to grapple with the reality of the world. People tend to get angry when they realize they’ve been made fools of.
Best part is that China barely got involved meanwhile the entire western world sent weapons to Ukraine, even the small countries like Cyprus, mfs shot themselves in the foot so hard with this one
I do wonder if US sees this development as a consolation prize. One big worry for US was that Europe was becoming increasingly integrated with Russia and China economically. This necessarily meant that Europe would eventually fall out of US sphere of influence and might even start developing their own independent foreign policy. The war rekindled all the old fears from the Cold War while depletion of weapons in Europe now made it dependent on US for protection going forward.
I suspect this strategy isn’t going to work in the long term because decoupling from the east is destroying European economies, and eventually we’re going to see countries in Europe realize that it makes more sense for them to find common ground with Russia than to continue being vassals of the US. However, it definitely helped get everyone in line in the immediate term.

I completely agree, the empire losing its grip on the world as a result of this war, and it’s a beautiful thing.
