[Victor vicktop55 commentary @vick55top]

World War III is inevitable, says former Serbian President Aleksandar Vučić.

According to him, Europe is rapidly arming itself and preparing for a large-scale conflict, pouring vast sums of money into weaponry.

Just look at how much the Scandinavian countries—Sweden and the rest—are investing. The profits of the German defense conglomerate Rheinmetall have surged 17-fold.

It’s like in a Chekhov play: if there’s a rifle hanging on the wall in the first act, it’s bound to go off by the third.

I don’t believe European politicians are insane enough to start a direct war with Russia—and what would they even gain from it? Russia is already at war, and Europe’s role is simply to "add fuel to the fire." Meanwhile, arms manufacturers are busy counting their profits. Why would anyone want another war? Especially since such a conflict would be fought with entirely different weapons than the ones currently being funneled into Europe.

@allweaponthings Is that really a thing?

@CaptMarkKelly With that same money you could have that sandwich at home for over a week.
10 minutes to make, tops.
Yep.

@RandyDeSoto @CaptMarkKelly Buy 12 eggs, cheese and English muffins for 10$ and eat breakfast for more than a week.
Yep.

This is what Muslims do when they are in the majority.

Liberals are fools to think we can all just 'get along.'

[Paddle man 1101 @beagle1962]

@MarioNawfal Excellent.
It only took 60+ yrs.

Worth knowing.

I'm old enough to remember Ukraine before February 2022. Before the great PR makeover. Before billions in British public money started flowing. Before the swastikas were quietly airbrushed out of the picture and yesterday's neo-Nazi problem became today's inconvenient history.

Back in January 2015, Ross Kemp travelled to Ukraine for his Extreme World documentary series, investigating the rise of the far right and the Azov Battalion, including its neo-Nazi elements and symbolism.

This was British mainstream television, not Russian propaganda.

Funny how quickly history gets rewritten when the geopolitical interests change and the public chequebook comes out.

Of course, Ukraine's corruption, extremist movements and internal divisions didn't magically disappear in February 2022. But suddenly, mentioning what British journalists had openly reported for years was enough to get you branded a Kremlin sympathiser.

Well, here's Ross Kemp reporting from Ukraine in 2015, long before the political rebranding.

No Russian bots. No Kremlin script. Just the history they would rather you didn't remember.

@davis_mangold @ChrisMurphyCT Just look into the defense company stocks these folks have.
Keep supplying just enough to keep it going. Loads of money being made by loads of people.
Many of those folks are Ukrainians.
I don't need any more blood on my 401k, thank you.
Yep.

[Paddle man 1101 @beagle1962]

@justmeohmy @ChrisMurphyCT He's from Connecticut.
But you are not wrong.
I'm just giving you the "why."
Yep.

@MikeDavidShow @diegocaleiro AI photo. Easy to check.
Doesn't mean bad things aren't happening.
The photo is not real.

[Paddle man 1101 @beagle1962]

@army1325air So dumb.
It's not supporting a war that has evolved into a ww1 kind of stalemate that'll be decided by which side has more bodies.
This is Europe's problem. Their backyard. Let them solve it. The US is already trading with its biggest rival, China. If Europe falls, not our fault

[Paddle man 1101 @beagle1962]

@MarioNawfal You must be bored and looking for attention.
Dammit!
I just gave you some.
I guess we're both stupid.
Yep.

[Paddle man 1101 @beagle1962]

@JustinWStapley Easy.
The west trickled weapons in during the first 2 yrs. Weapons that might have changed the war. Worries of "widening the conflict".
Now the war machine is in play and the battlefield has changed. Loads of money being made. In Ukraine as well.
Who's got the most bodies?

[Paddle man 1101 @beagle1962]

@LaNativePatriot I just voted today.
I'm lucky enough to get to vote for a sheriff.
And I really like him.
Yep.

[Paddle man 1101 @beagle1962]

@_dyedinthewool @Mark4XX You just linked Belarus and North Korea and China?
Really?
Sure.

[Paddle man 1101 @beagle1962]

@DrKarlynB My nemesis.
Eight eyes, eight legs.
Yep

[Paddle man 1101 @beagle1962]

@DamienRieu You could have comprised and made one gun, "your thing."
Our Constitution allows you that. There's a good reason.
I would never force anyone to have a firearm.
No one should force me to not have as many as I like.
Yep.

[Paddle man 1101 @beagle1962]

@DrKarlynB @reagan1hahn @JoelWebbon @RichardBSpencer Not me.
Nope.
The only people that benefit from trusting me, are the ones that know me.
Analyze everything else.
I don't trust anyone I don't know based on that.
So easy to do in this day and age to call someone out if you dig.
Yep.

[Paddle man 1101 @beagle1962]

@RepDonBacon Really....
They don't.
Not more than a smidge.
Maybe a smear.
Maybe you meant that by saying "most?"
Yep.
