Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk has delivered a blunt warning that Europe has entered a “pre-war era” and if Ukraine is defeated by Russia, nobody in Europe will be able to feel safe.
“I don’t want to scare anyone, but war is no longer a concept from the past,” he told European media. “It’s real and it started over two years ago.”
His remarks came as a fresh barrage of Russian missiles targeted Ukraine.
Russia has intensified its bombardment of Ukraine in recent weeks.
Overnight into Friday Ukraine’s air force said it had shot down 58 drones and 26 missiles and Prime Minister Denys Shmyhal said energy infrastructure had been damaged in six regions, in the west, centre and east of the country.
All of us are in the pre-world War III era and we’re gearing up quickly for it. In many ways it’s already underway, and we’re just now starting to get ready go make it even more massive and global.
Welcome to the 21st century where men have evolved into nothing more than war mongering utter pieces of filthy shit. This is what will be all our legacy, a world scorched into oblivion and not a trace of humanity anywhere left on the planet. Perhaps that’s for the best, really.
Shit was going pretty good until Russia fucked it all up. Biggest mistake in the last 50 years in Europe was allowing Russia to Annex Crimea. That set a tone that landed us on this path.
who would have thought appeasement wouldnt work when it has, historically, also not worked?
When your own political standing is dependent on cheap oil, you won’t endanger it, even for the lives of fellow Europeans or even your own children.
What was the alternative? Invade Crimea with NATO troops?
Not NATO necessarily, but trade blockades on Russian ports accessible through European waters, hard sanctions, actual seizing of Russian assets, and potentially coalition troops from various countries with approval from Ukraine. NATO isn’t an offensive pact, only defensive. However those countries could form coalition forces to strike back at Russian military assets in Crimea. Instead we just lightly slapped them on the wrist and said “don’t do that again” and then they straight up murdered civilians and attacked a non-aggressive border nation.
We do all that right now. The impact it is having on Russian aggression? Nearly zero.
Oh damn, I forgot if we had done all of that years ago instead of recently we’d still be in the same boat… it’s having an impact. Russia has an unsustainable market, however the US and its allies need to blockade. We don’t do that currently. Start forcing the population there to rethink their support for Putin.
Stop simping for a failed state and leader like Putin.

Turns out that when there’s capital to gain that the “defensive pact” part is negotiable.
That didn’t start as a NATO mission at all. It only became one after the US, UK, Canada and France had already started the mission and Italy wanted NATO to take control otherwise they wouldn’t join in. I don’t know the specifics of how it met criteria for NATO to be involved, but it certainly wasn’t something NATO started. It’s also probably better if NATO generals take over missions that are more western country based as that means all members have a say in what goes on and for how long. They even talk in the article about how the only ground forces were non-NATO troops and were not authorized by NATO.
Sure bro, whatever lets you sleep at night.
Sorry bruh, having a more powerful military than Russia definitely helps me sleep at night. 😴 although that’s not saying much since Ukraine was able to kick Russia’s ass…
Are you under the impression either America or Russia needs anything beyond nukes to protect themselves or…
On 19 March 2011, a multi-state NATO-led coalition began a military intervention in Libya to implement United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973
It’s incredible that you could put NATO led right in your quote and think it proves your point
Shitlibs, lmao
Just gonna ignore my point to call me a name? Classy
Um, sir, cows are brown sometimes.
This is like a “children of men” type usage of men and not like, gender right?
ppl like tusk saying “ i dont want to scare anyone….” Yet every fucking day all day this shit is on tv, social media, the streets whatever. We dont want to scare anyone… well guess what, no one is scared anymore just fucking tired of warmongeringDICKtator wannabee shitstains. Either pull the fucking trigger and burn everything to the ground (because nobody wants the other guy to have that thing where theres war over, i dont even know what anymore) or shut the fuck up and make shit better.
“I don’t want to” and “I have to” can coincide
They evolved into this many centuries ago. Sad development of the supposedly superior sex.
I’ve never understood exactly what makes the male sex supposedly so superior. From what I’ve seen they are decidedly mediocre as a sex, very egotistical, gun loving, hate-filled, quick to anger, slow witted and quite dirty minded, with brains that make war and other filth. Extraordinarily gutter-type people.
I agree. Many of them claim women are dreamers and driven by emotion, but look at all the wars caused by males and the day-to-day competitions they have with each other. Strange.
