Putin what next?

[D11FYY]

After Russian jets (long range bombers) today where spotted near airspace in my country of Scotland and a Destoryer going through the English channel?

Is he planning on war? Or trying to scare monger? Or reiterate to his people about his hate for the West?

Politics?

Most likely but I think this is pushing it. Imagine American/British airforces where to advance in Russian territory and do this sort of thing. It wouldnt be taken as lightly.

Politics?

Sorry, I was unclear. I meant, you started a thread about politics.

Don´t you have a political outlet? You don´t even try to be compliant with the forum rules. I mean, it´s kind of bold to choose one of the hottest topics in politics

 

[D11FYY]

Didnt realize it was a banned subject. Sorry MJ and rest of forumers by simply my own mistake. Please delete the thread.

Imagined it, and then realized that it already happened...like a month ago:

It's such a common occurrence over here that it rarely hits the news anymore. Just flexing muscle/testing NATO's reaction time

 

[MJ DeMarco]

Mods aren't slipping, thought it was more world news than politics. When I hear politics I think about RED/Blue, Capitalist/Socialist or Dem/Rep... that wasn't here.

I think he's just flexing muscle tbh.

Although, it never hurts to have an escape plan just in case!!

hearing stuff about the dollar going to die soon, china and russia joining forces, U.S. not being able to bully anyone anymore, lost credibility...

interesting time we're living it.

Why is this news?

There have been regular sightings of Russian bombers in Dutch airspace for the last 3-4 years or so.
They don't even put it on the news anymore ^^

That being said: Russia has always been good at showing power and breaking the "rules" others try to put on them. since like...well, forever.
Fact is: they have always been, and will always be a super power in this world, and nobody can tell them what to do, or not to do.

Russia is the fat, washed up 40 yr old who is trying to relive their high school glory days when they were on the Varsity football team.

Thanks to globalization and nuclear deterrents, there probably won't be any boom boom mass war aka WW111 any time soon.

All this nonsense is just posturing. Any and all regional/global powers do this all the time.

Yep, the US is dead in the water...

Power is shifting to the East.

Yet, the dollar is gaining value..
While other currencies such as the Euro, or rubels are losing value.

Yep next all the money in the world is going to vanish and disappear. Then you'll have to figure out how barter pigs and goats like they used too. Ha ha! The richest farmer in the world. (Joke)

Tech stocks were gaining value before they crashed in 2000.

Real estate was gaining value before it crashed in 2008.

People had confidence in both of these things, just as they do in the dollar. And then they didn't.

The U.S. has printed trillions of dollars, and has staggering levels of debt. No country in history has ever gotten out of a situation like this without a crisis.
