Russia's 🇷🇺 Invasion of Ukraine 🇺🇦 (Official Thread)

[Gritsngravy]

Yeah shyt is spooky. It's like the major powers aren't even debating the idea anymore, just getting ready to rumble.

I mean I haven’t been alive enough to know for real but it’s crazy to hear people predict an Asian war in the 2030s for YEARS

I never heard of that, and nobody on tv is taking issue with it either, it’s like they trying to desensitize us or at least the people who been paying attention to what they say

And I don’t know if I’m a prisoner of the moment but I keep hearing the 2027 year being repeated a lot for all types of shyt
