highduc , (edited ) to world in We are running out of time to build defences against Russia, warns Norway's commander in chief

Bullshit warmongering propaganda. edit: and let me guess, part of the solution would be buying very expensive, US made weapons.

edit 2 since I see it’s a popular post: I also love how - like how immigrants are at the same time too lazy to work and living on social security, but also stealing all the jobs - Russia is at the same time too weak and pathetic to invade a country like Ukraine but also going to start a war with all of NATO, lol. 🤡

Windex007 ,

Perpetually perplexed by those who still maintain Russia wouldn’t invade a sovereign nation. It’s not even “fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me” when at this point it’s like “fool me 7 times in the last 20 years”

My first thought reading the headline is: I don’t see how Russia is building up a stockpile while burning through their stockpile it in Ukraine. That makes no sense whatsoever.

Russia is also burning through bodies so I don’t see them being particularly able or willing to try to invade Norway or anywhere else anytime soon.

It seems from all accounts they’ve got their hands full in Ukraine and are making little or no progress.

I think you’re right about buying US weapons. I don’t think it is warmongering but rather shilling for the military industrial complex.

Edit: still, I wouldn’t disarm or anything and maybe somewhat shore up defense. Maybe a decade or two Russia tries some more stupid shit.

HappycamperNZ ,

I would call a response prudent, especially with additional ties to Chinese manpower and the middle east playing up. Like it or not the whole world economy is linked to Chinas cheap manpower/goods and Middle East oil.

Four years ago we didn’t think another global pandemic would happen, or a presidential cheeto would be done for insurrection (do it, not charged), or anything else of the last few years. Russia can still do something stupid that changes the course of human history.

Excellent point; I forgot what timeline we’re in.

I mean, some people had to be and at least we can deal with it.

USSR went through 1.5 million soldiers defending Moscow and 20 million in WW2 iirc just to put their viewpoint on casualties in perspective

FlorianSimon ,

That was not an invasion war though. They were fighting for their existence, which makes a world of difference.

theterrasque ,

On occasion their strategy has been “if we send in enough people, they’ll eventually run out of bullets”

They out-Zapp Brannigan’ed Zapp Brannigan. That should terrify you on multiple levels

Russia is producing a lot. Yes, they are burning through more on the front line until now, but western support has ground to a near standstill in recent months, so it’s entirely plausible that they could continue fighting and start building up supplies if NATO can’t provide more weapons to Ukraine.

it's certainly not propaganda.. Russia is a shambles, and nobody knows what happens when Putin dies.. Norwegian generals are not known for hyperbole.. unlike little trolls on the internet..

and they certainly won't buy cheap Chinese and North Korean stuff like the Russians do

Wanderer ,

If you had an influx of say 100,000 people that would be enough to disrupt labour markets due to supply and demand and that would reduce wages and total avaliable jobs to the native population. So from a native point of view you are looking at either being unemployed or having a job at a lower wage.

Now if another 100,000 people came into the country and didn’t work and was on benefits then as a native your taxes are going to them.

Those two groups of people don’t impact each other. So both statements can be true. Low paid workers don’t tend to create jobs. So from a low paid point of view you got nothing to gain from immigration.

Russia recently pulled out of some nuclear test ban treaty, too. I wonder why.

Probably to test nuclear weapons, or posture for doing so.

Their position is now the same as the US’, however.
