The 4-5 million Syrian refugees in turkey plus the Syrians directly affected potentially more so than the Turkish side will need a place to go. There was already a flood of Syrians living in that region of turkey now with no access to food water or shelter. And it’s not like a quake stops at the border some of the worst of it happened in Syria where the countries infrastructure was already severely damaged due to war. Idk how you can make a statement that stops with turkey and not include Syria into the equation. Turks have a place to go. Syrians in refugee camps do not
I didn't say they wouldn't move but going to Europe from there is a tall order.
The situations are different. The US has a treaty with Ukraine but according to ChatGPT:
Why? They’ve been doing it since the beginning of the civil war and frankly it’s the only area that will absorb them. They would be in Syria if they could and turkey has kept them in that small region. They don’t want a hodgepodge of ethnicities blending in turkey.
Another negative consequence for us. Nevertheless, we don’t want Russia and China on the same team when the inevitable happens.
Putin and Xi announced a supposed "no limits" partnership shortly before the invasion. Xi obviously has buyer's remorse now.
If we fell to our knees we’d still be at eye level with Kadyrov. He’s a feisty little dwarf.
There it is again. Blame people who don't want death and destruction and the loss of billions of dollars of being Putin puppets. You still believe in the Russian collusion hoax? LOL. How many Ukrainians are you willing to sacrifice to get your war boner on?
They had a peace agreement that set Minsk 2 as the law but Boris Johnson showed up and blew up the deal because he said that nato wouldn't help rebuild if Ukraine signed a peace deal. This is a war to collapse Russia financially and the warhawks are willing to lose 1 million Ukrainians if they'll fight that long.
Just curious... If we fight China over Taiwan will they still send us cheap stuff to buy and phones and microchips? There was a guy that wanted to move tons of production away from China and he was called a racist. Without doing anything about that fact people seem to want to go to war with China. Do you realize how dependent we have become on China? If we plan to go to war with them then shouldn't we decouple first?
I don’t think people understand how thin the ranks are becoming in the Ukrainian military. I expect Russia to eventually make the dnipro river and then fall into a defensive posture. Zelensky knows Russia is gonna take that territory but he’s banking on nato weapons to make another offensive push. That prior counter offensive was early when Russia was in attack mode. once they conquer those territories and sit back it would be the equivalent of Ukraine attacking Russia proper. They won’t have enough troops to get through the frontlines. Russia is already calling up more conscripts and once they make to dnipro river they will end up with 1/2 million soldiers on that border.
Ahh, the Great Shill speaks. Maybe blathers is the better word.
None have yet. Consistent in their armchair courage. So there’s that.
“We” in the West comprise more than the United States. This has been discussed at length.
We’re satisfied with what our tax dollars are doing, Jack. I’d encourage you to visit Moscow, though.
You’ve done it. You’ve sniffed out a Russki.
Wait, so he’s not committed his best troops? And here I thought Ivan was already whipped.
Putting words together is not your strong suit. I recommend that you use ChatGPT to proofread your quips. It can make them much more coherent.
ChatGPT. Intelligence programmed by someone else. Damn, the irony.
It isn’t programmed. It’s trained. Dang, how old are you? Try it, you might like it.
If we were producing more of it you’d be correct but we re not and fuel prices are on their way back up. China gave everyone a reprieve with their lockdowns.
Old enough to not rely on others to think for me.
So, as I’ve implied about three different times now, the drag on the western economy affects more than us. Per CNN, who, I suppose, needs to also “hang it up.”
Oil price dropped to a 20+ years low in 2020 due to pandemic & no one driving. It's still lower than 15 years ago. Byt yes, you're correct that it's rising - a 50/50 chance.
