There are bigger and more legitimate threats in the world these days

so all the saber rattling with these new hypersonic weapon systems is horse shit?

Yeah, well, we've been developing ours since the 90s

Yeah, we also don’t kill our dissenters

sure?

@Puma So? Honestly, that's not the USs problem

i wouldn't worry about China, Islam on the other hand is the biggest existential threat the world faces

Authoritarian nut-job with nukes isn’t our problem?

Whats with the one Buzzfeed journalist dying in a mysterious car crash?

lol you're an even bigger idiot if you think Putin is a nut job

who

@Deleted User It's time to clean the floors.

Michael Hastings

that was 2014

i found the name.

You don't maintain your position as president of Russia by being a 'nut job'

Putin is the grand chess master.

Far from it

Look at it from their perspective as well: What does Russia have to gain from being imperialistic again, with the way their economy is right now?

Nah, you just kill off all the people who run against you

What?

What the fuck did I just read?

Imperialism on the world stage of 2018 is a net loss

Its too costly

Lolwat

he has a point

but it doesn't have to be imperialism, what about cyber war

You have NATO in the West, China in the East, Islamic countries in the South

China wouldn’t attack us, Islam doesn’t have nukes

Russia is trying to diversify their economy right now away from oil

@Puma RUSSIA

Those are the borders of RUSSIA

Islam has nukes

pakistan

iran (almost)

Pakistan knows not to use them, can’t say the same about Iran

pakistan is fucking swiss cheese, they can get jacked by extremists

My point is, that Russia can't be imperialistic, because there's nowhere to expand to

*stares are crimea*

but i don't think the game is all about expansion these days
