        Seems like there would be a better name for a “New WW2”… Maybe “WW2 Version B”. Or possibly “Subsequent WW2”… Oh well, I guess there’s no perfect way to name the next WW2.

      There is absolutely no way Russia is willing to pay reparations unless Moscow is occupied, and we have bigger problems if NATO is so bold as to escalate the situation that far.

      All this does is give Russia State media more ammunition to form their narrative that the west is trying to destroy Russia, and escalating it into an existential conflict for the Russians. It’s incredibly irresponsible for them to be saying stuff like this in my opinion.
