You're right about a Russia/NATO war being unwinnable for Russia. Even the current military of Europe alone would be enough to see off Russia.

So, what is he warning us about? I see two (not exclusive) things he could be doing.

Trump winning in America would cause such stress on NATO it would fragment, and even if they kick America out it still looks weak so they want all of Europe to beat the 2% requirement to try and keep trump's USA in NATO.

Second, he's warning of war with china. This is where my money is.

Link to show invading is not trivial https://thediplomat.com/2021/05/why-a-taiwan-invasion-would-look-nothing-like-d-day/

Enforcing a blockade around an island full of long range anti ship and air defences, aided by the US military, is extremely hard. Also and more importantly it's a very long dragged out war that gives Taiwan time to build allies, and the west to organise, which will make it harder and harder to enforce.

Finally you're replying to someone saying the war will take a long time, which you initially disagree with then go on to talk about an embargo which more than agrees with it. It's going to take ages to resolve if they attack and it'll almost certainly include Russia distracting NATO in Europe. I dearly hope china sees sense and gets rid of xi before his desperation for personal achievements in his lifetime causes the nation and world a lot of pointless suffering

The us military is constantly experiencing warfare.
If anyone in that pic turns out to have been swimming naked it'll be the chinese

The only take that makes sense

I sometimes wonder if they're just bad at it, so the astro turfing is obvious. The people posting have to be immersed in and understand the western site to blend in while remaining loyal to a very different kind of home communication and they often don't manage it, and if they do that difference makes them stand out.

While we have dozens of western police show up in any discussion of police violence to explain that it's really hard. Not even astroturfing, I think, just people being themselves. Aside from being obviously police their posting style blends in perfectly, if there were western astroturf campaigns I think they would blend perfectly and use much more subtle techniques

The ltn protests are a bit red faced white man heavy.

Concern trolling over the weight of trains is neither so we have at least three sides here

Is it the screaming when they get dragged under a hgv? It's very annoying yes

It took two hundred years or so to cause this, It might take longer to fully fix but that's why we start right now.
