Also impacting the ratios of where they left from.

A lot of men from Lithuania will work abroad, artificially inflating the ratio of women left behind

Ukraine is losing ground. Unless something changes, they will eventually lose the war.

The things required to stop that will necessarily be escalatory.

The West needs to fucking swallow that pill instead of endlessly fretting about escalation. Do you think Putin is worried about escalation? He just brought North Korea into the war.

Ukraine will be a smouldering ruin and Russian troops will be amassed at the border of the NATO Baltics licking their chops and the big brain west will be saying “Thank goodness we were so responsible in the Former Ukraine”

No it won’t. Korea is already there.

Let me tell you what ACTUALLY starts a world war.

Russia wins in Ukraine, spends 8 years building up forces and getting even tighter w/ china, keep chipping away at NATO unity with useful idiots like Orban, and then they take a crack at the Baltics.

THAT’S how WWIII starts.

Right now the masks are all still on. What happens in Ukraine stays in Ukraine. This is the only time to put boots on the ground that DOESN’T start a world war.
