Yeah, 3.30am. When you were so anxious you can't fall asleep, at the same time you can't gather your words properly.

And disturbed my sleep. If I'm a father by now I'd be restless because the baby would scream endlessly and I'd hear it even if I sleep with earplugs on.

Sadly the end of globalisation, with US being very selective who they now trade with, semi conductor restrictions, shut out from transpacific trade pacts, not to mention the massive debt that has developed, will require these regimes to soon lash out, in a form of nationalistic display, to distract from the economic failure. Australia is seen as a great prize. We unfortunately will be seeing unleashed fury directed at the West within the next decade

If you're referring to China, all of the above may be true BUT it is also a country totally reliant on imports for survival, 75% of food and 75% of energy, so to unleash fury as you say would be an act of suicide, the world can live without China, ot may not be easy but it can be done, China can not live without the world, sanctions like we're seeing imposed on Russia would result in a catastrophe unlike any seen previously, in the region of 250-500 million people dying from famine etc within 12months. The question is whether the people under Xi have had the balls to tell him straight up, he's shot so many messengers previously nobody tells him anything anymore. On a positive note the meeting between Biden and Xi recently went surprisingly well with Xi reiterating China's stance on a positive relationship with the US and the West.

If we're referring to North Korea, they're a fucking basketcase that South Korea could steamroll in a week, but South Korea know that they would be responsible for the rebuild, re-education and horrendous food shortages etc, and really want nothing to do with it as it would bankrupt them.

If we're talking about Russia, I don't have time now to go in to that one, but even China are now making plays to cash in on a Russian defeat in Ukraine. It's still anyone's game in Ukraine but that's the problem, it should have been long over by now, Russia don't have the demographics to keep throwing young men in their hundreds of thousands at the problem. Would they use nukes? Maybe Putin is crazy enough, that's the main question and why countries like Poland, Sweden etc have thus far stayed out of it. Rumours of Putins ill health continue but I'll believe he's dying when I see his cold dead body driven through Moscow, and even then I'll be sceptical it is a body double.

The world was better off without conquistadors. My people had to move 300kms away from their motherland to find vacant land to settle in. Unfortunately peace only lasted 200 years before they were annexed, and half of their descendants now are suffering from Putin's regime.

Well said bro. Let's get back to punting while the buildings are still standing and not reduced to rubble

What that last country you mention will do, is create a lot of troubles. They are currently heartlessly sending refugees to the Russia border with Finland (who recently joined NATO), forcing Finland to close it's borders and let these people freeze to death

Russia doesn't care about its citizens - people have been freezing and starving since the Tsar's era. The Bolsheviks made it worse. Now Putin wants to be both - a Tsar playing the Bolshevik card.

There are two things to know about Marxism/Leninism

First it doesn't work, and never had worked
Secondly it naturally degrades the value of human life. Long term imprisonment is definitely the least degrading thing that can be done to you.

They weren't given a timeframe on how long would they stay there. It was pretty much indefinite detention, and it was freezing cold. Many people died, and at the same time we were discouraged from speaking our language or practice our religion. By the time we were allowed to return to our region after WW2 most of the houses were already occupied by Russians.

Now the region is one of the poorest region in Russia after Chechnya.

Jesus that's a sad but common story. Ruthless people throughout history have had no legitimate reason to displace people like that

Putin justified his invasion with the excuse of gay Nazis being in Ukraine. I'm not making this up, see the link

Without democracy you have zero accountability

Texting.

My biggest issue.

If a WL is slow on the return she’s gone.

It’s as easy as that.

I've been following the news in Ukraine almost every day. Our people are very anxious about the situation. No one dares to talk back to Putin. See what happened to the Wagner chief?

Why do you keep repeating yourself? You said it, it doesn't feel heavy leaving her and you've justified all your reasons. On top of that you've already set yourself up for a date with a younger WL, in which you claimed was 24 and Asian.

Now it looks like the opposite - you want her to text you back, you're about to cry if she doesn't but you're trying to look tough at the same time.

I'm roleplaying for your current persona. Whoever it is now behind that mask, you know already what to do.

What do you expect? He got too big for his boots. There’s only one boss, right?

The problem is that he thinks Putin isn't going to do anything to him after that attempted coup. He's a cook made into a crony, who does he think he is? He's silly.
