Would a Trump victory reduce the chance of WW3?

It’s a possibility, Trump is far more likely to make a deal with Russia than Biden. This is why the neocons are freaking out over the possibility of Trump getting into power.

Honestly, it probably would. This makes me feel dirty to type… but the liberals are right about Trump, he’s a lot like Putin and is willing to shut out the EU allies in favor of him being an illiberal “democratically elected” quasi-dictator. Michael Parenti’s son said Trump is preferable to Biden because he’s willing to wreck the post-WW2 liberal order in his quest for individual power.

I dont think so, the neocons would just pivot to China.

May NATO be exhausted! And may the Western Financial Bubble burst!

The west openly admits that it lacks the production capacity to keep up with Russia. There’s a good analysis of the situation here https://rusi.org/explore-our-research/publications/commentary/attritional-art-war-lessons-russian-war-ukraine

Russia winning in Ukraine that’s going to be the end of NATO because it will be discredited as an effective force at that point. Meanwhile, Europe will be forced into austerity to fund a huge increase in military spending. Given that Europe is already in recession, and doesn’t have access to cheap energy now, there’s little chance the economic situation will stabilize in the near future. On top of all that, we’re seeing aggressive dedollarization happening outside of G7. This process is directly shrinking western financial economy because trade is increasingly done outside it. This is a problem for US in particular because its infinite debt is premised on the idea that there’s always demand for the dollar. So, we’re seeing military defeat looming for the west along with serious economic problems that are very likely to result in another financial crash.

On the other hand, the BRICS economy is growing fast, and it’s already a bigger economic bloc than the G7. We’re now seeing an economic war starting between the two blocs, and the G7 is the smaller bloc with diminishing opportunities in this equation.

They are really hellbent on nuclear warfare, huh? I know it’s still too early but every escalation NATO makes it just keeps pushing towards the use of nukes. I don’t know what the end goal here is but it’s not looking good. I’d rather not die, thanks.

NATO leadership painted themselves into a corner politically, and they just might do insane things at this point.

NATO leaders can feel free to join the battle themselves, by all means please do. But maybe don’t drag the rest of us with you.

Leaders used to go to war, when did that change?

We would sure have a lot less war if that practice remained, now it’s just the rich sending the poor to fight their wars.

I’ll be honest and say that I didn’t actually expect them to go for it. The empire has gone completely insane at this point
