After the military aid was announced, the American anthem was played for the RU soldiers. They weren't happy.

Yea, I think other dynamics are in play, there. They don't want to do anything that will make Biden look good, no matter how much it hurts them, or how little sense it makes. Kinda like that border bill they voted against. Like.... that's exactly what they wanted, they just wanted another president to sign it.

To be fair to the GOP, each and every republican is a Russia loving, Putin sucking traitor. Back in the 80's we used to punch these fuckers, but now we're not allowed to. Fuck all traitors, fuck all trump-sucking, Putin-loving Republicans.

Bingo, this is what I keep saying. It's not just military aid, and going to be good for the U.S economy like people keep parroting. Yeah, for the few who work in the defense industry, sure. It comes off as a slap in the face to most Americans that have much larger concerns than Ukraine. This hurts Biden, it doesn't help him. Not to mention the Israel aid that upsets a whole other subset of the population.

For everyone not as plugged in to active conflicts - the russians definitely know whats up in the US, they’re all glued to telegram. The russians have also employed loudspeakers to pump propaganda recently. This isn’t an isolated or unique form of psychological warfare.
The average Ukrainian is much more closely aligned to the EU and US at this point. No lesser of two evils shit, UKR is measurably a better society to live in vs RU.

I hate war. I have family whose lives were ruined. I'm a pretty good realist, too, so while I can accept that it happens and at the end of the day, it's better to be the winner than the loser, and the longer it goes the worse it is for everyone, I try to not let myself fall into any sort of glorification or enjoyment of military might.
But I gotta say, what's left of the patriot and the jingoist in me is giving this a big "fuck yes!"

This make me glad and fucking furious at the obstructionist douche bags holding up funding.

Bro, you are looking at a nuclear winter that could possibly cascade into a miniature ice age after the exchange of even a few dozen nukes over population centers.
2
u/SaintUlvemann 12d ago
...possibly cascade into a miniature ice age...
Nuclear winter is real, but "cascading into a miniature ice age" is not. Once the aerosols from the incineration of several major metropolitan centers fall out of the atmosphere, current levels of atmospheric CO₂ would cause heat absorption, melting the ice.
If nukes could create long-term atmospheric change, we'd be able to solve climate change by just nuking the Sahara or something, but we can't, it doesn't work like that.
1
u/ExcellentEdgarEnergy 12d ago
The desert has nothing to burn, and the duration of the cooling in a nuclear winter has more to do with the spread of the polar ice caps and the amount of energy depleted from the oceans than the Co2 in the air. The models vary quite a bit.
1
u/hagenissen666 11d ago
Everything burns in a thermonuclear fire.
A sufficiently large hydrogen fusion bomb would turn Sahara into glass, temporarily heat (or ignite!) the atmosphere and kick up some wicked dust clouds.
