China takes Taiwan and yes, it will kick off WW3, although one could very well make the argument we are already there. Wow.
Putin’s nuke threat is chilling, and I don’t think he’s bluffing, MAD be damned.
Cyber Warfare as well. Not good times.

Failure to hold Putin to account is a complete failure of the left wing and right wing, particularly in the US and UK. For some reason, both polar opposites have had a hard on for Russia in recent years, which has only bolstered Putin. And to hold him to account is not to justify war either. For a start, it would have helped to stop kow towing to all the oligarchs and media outlets that corrupt folk on all sides have bigged up in recent years. Your enemies enemy should never be your friend. For some reason, despotic Putin was
But outside of the political class, even culturally, you have money grabbing or corrupt institutions like the Premier League, F1, FIFA and all that who have turned a blind eye to the likes of the oligarchs who have funded these sports (see Saudi Arabia too). So for example, I hear that Wembley will be lit up in blue and yellow ahead of the League Cup final, yet that same system will happily prop up a corrupt individual like Abramovich. All gesture politics, and no real action will be done. A bit like how this situation will not be resolved.

The US military has heavy reliance on Taiwan for making chips for them, so an invasion of Taiwan one of, if not, the biggest "no no" you can do to the USA. Taiwan is the biggest US ally in the Pacific for this reason. This is extremely watered down though, but it hits the main point of the chips issue being key.

EMP attack would be much worse than a nuclear strike.
EMP attack keeps me up at night. Hundreds of Millions swept back to the dark ages, with no way to cope without.

Russia is now threatening Finland and Sweden with military repercussions if they join NATO.

I don't know, if they are not doing anything after Ukraine, then I only believe that real open war - Russia and/or China vs NATO can happen if Russia and/or China attack USA or UK... There would be fights in Taiwan like there were in Syria but still not WW3.

Well, technically a massive EMP is emitted within a split second of a modern nuclear warhead's detonation. So nukes are just a surefire way to obliterate human civilization, while an EMP attack will mainly set it back several centuries technologically. The societal impact is a big unknown, but trends toward tribalism making a tragic comeback.

I can't belive Boris Johnson was the only person in Europe who was actually doing something about the sanctions. The rest of them were arguing about goddamn diamonds.

Imagine being an American still trapped in Afghanistan, seeing your United States government provide that very same promised aid circumvented to Ukraine instead.

The Conservative Party is now essentially funded by Putin’s oligarchs. So I would not be giving Johnson too much credit in this whole situation.

From someone in Reddit:
"I truly believe this will be a very short and failed war by Putin.
Know why I believe this? Because Donald Trump thought it was a genius plan."

If we're to believe the Ukrainian minister of defence, Russia has now, from less than one week of fighting, already lost 4300 soldiers. That is more than half the amount of American soldiers who died in Afghanistan+Iraq.
It can't be overstated what a massive failure this has been for Russia so far.

The good thing out of all of this is: Putin revitalized the spirit of the EU. Great to see how everyone is on the same page again

I like Bald's videos, but the dude himself is at best suspicious and often just 'acting' for the camera.
Here's one of his quotes from 2014
"I like the Ukraine a lot, have good friends there, but I don't want the country to improve economically or politically at all. I want the killing to stop obviously but I want things to get worse financially so it benefits me on the few occasions a year that I visit. I want the prices to drop and the desperation to go up. That's extremely shallow and self centered and morally hard to justify but it's the truth. "
Bald found out about tensions and quickly ran over into Ukraine likely with the intent to profit off of whatever happened.
Add to this his PUA lifestyle in these poor territories ...

But at the same time, when you know who the dude truly is and how differently he portrays himself to the world on camera, it leaves a pit in my stomach.
It's just a business for him. Both to pick up vulnerable, barely legal aged girls (and potentially younger), as well as to cash fat checks. He was once brought up on rape charges. He has admittedly used rohypnol on at least one female in the past and so much else. If you ever want to learn who the dude is IRL:
He is excited about this invasion. Because that means desperation. More females to prey on. More chaos to exploit for his YouTube career.
Ukranians that see the guy, as well as Johnny FD ought to give them a solid punch in the nose. He is no friend to Ukraine.
