Honestly I've taken to mentally replacing half of news articles with just the words "BE AFRAID!!!" in big letters

What is this guy expecting? That Russia's gonna blaze through the European Plain and then cross the channel? That Russia's gonna send its navy over Norway and surround Northern Ireland to make sure we stay in the Star Trek timeline?

Never said the ground war was going to be in Britain.

This has strong hints of "have to defend our freedoms by going and fighting a ground war in eastern europe"

They think Russia is going to take the Balkans and Northern Europe, according to their propaganda.

I hear "Russia is going to take Northern Europe" and my mind gets kinda lost in an elaborate fantasy where the Soviets got further south than Finnmark, and I start to feel a little funny tbh

Re: be afraid, that's what the fnords are for. You're describing the experience of seeing the fnords.

Check my comment history and you’ll see me arguing with A LOT of people who think Russia really plans on invading all of Europe and conquering the world in a new Mongol Khanate or something… So yeah…

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --
