Hopefully we don't have a Lusitania moment drawing NATO in to WWIII.

I posted a Thread two weeks ago that presented this exact scenario: CD:NATO Supplying Ukraine With Military Arms Could Create A Lusitania-like Fuse For The Start Of World War III

Glad to see that there are some countries' leaders who aren't terrified of putin like brandon. Maybe that's what the world needs, NATO to be drawn into war by russia, so that they can finally put their collective firepower to use and squash putin like the insect that he is. As long as he can still take a breath, there is no world peace.

Maybe Biden will pop up with them in Ukraine as a gesture of support. At this point his handlers are desperate for some sort of energy from this flailing fella and it might occur to them to do something dramatic like that.

(When two of our Mid East allies refused to even take his calls that was absolutely humiliating - to the point that his pals in the press are essentially pretending it never happened. https://www.wsj.com/amp/articles/sau...is-11646779430)

Send Joe... Send Kamala... Send the entire Biden administration! And maybe some of those 80 million mental midgets that put them in the white house.

Brandon definitely showed weakness to Putin when he:

1, reversed Trump's policy so we would no longer sell lethal weapons to Ukraine

2, reversed Trump's policy of opposing Putin's pipeline

3, did little in the build up of the invasion despite knowing Russia would invade from intelligence and even said a minor incursion wouldn't be a big deal.

The spark that triggered off WW1 was the Assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand who was the heir presumptive to the throne of Austria-Hungary.

Ferdinand was shot dead whilst in an open top car in Sarajevo Bosnia in 1914 by 19-year-old Serbian nationalist Gavrilo Princip.

Europe at the time was divided between the Central Powers which included Austria-Hungary and the Allied powers which included Serbia.

Archduke Ferdinand and his wife had already survived a bomb attack on the car earlier in the trip, and you can't help feeling that open top cars were never a good idea, indeed you would have thought that other countries would have stopped using open top cars.

right, not sure where the idea that the Lusitania started ww1 comes from. But it is completely wrong.
