Well, the totality of state medias in EU affirmed for 1 year long that Russia will fall economically, that Putin is ill in terminal phase, that Russians lack ammo and using chips from washing machines, that they fight with shovels, so I think 1st place in liars list is definitely ex-aequo.

USA is actually the single most corrupt country in the world. If you don't believe me, then read on. In Tennessee, in Smoky Mountains National Park, a black bear was struck by a car and killed while it was eating pancakes. A black bear eating pancakes is the sweetest thing imaginable, and then it got massacred by a vehicle. It is literally the saddest news story I have ever read in my entire life.

I do not want to be a sensationalist, but I do believe a nuclear response in this situation is warranted and morally justified.

There's more on the Russian braindrain problem, which is a serious long-term problem. 86% of Russians who left back in 2022 were under 45 and 80% had college degrees. More will leave in the future. You can be absolutely certain of that. Lots of Russians like to learn English, among other things. Any guess why? They are moving here, or to Maple Leaf Land, or somewhere westward in Europe, or to Israel, or Turkiye, or basically anywhere except Russia. Somewhere where they will have a good or at least decent paying job and won't be human fodder for a state that doesn't value them or care about them beyond their utility to kill.
That will far, far outweigh a couple million ethnic Russians in Ukraine being added to the population. Historically, once braindrain starts, it is difficult to reverse. It takes a couple of decades.

Don't ever seek a single bit of justice in such mayhems. They think they are on the verge (?). But what verge? Too bad that we cannot punish them right now. Yet they *will* believe in what they discarded.

Well, I tell you the ultimate truth - this war is needed no more. See how English can be exact and nice when you want to round edges and don't have a mood to pick an exact language. For starters I have this one word - Gehenna.

BTW, as far as the upcoming US election goes, what US intelligence is saying at the moment is that Moscow would prefer Trump and Tehran would prefer Biden (now Harris). And on that note, Biden recently stated that any assassination attempt on a former president (i.e. Trump) would be considered an open attack. That message was directed towards Tehran, whose proxies in Lebanon are currently getting bombed by the IDF. Iran would very much like to see a shift in US policy that is more hesitant to do military contracts with Israel, which is a very real possibility. Criticism towards Israel's campaign and the mounting dead bodies has gotten pretty bold among the blue parts of Congress. An over-aggressive Israel could pull the US in at some point if Iran does more than shoot crappily-made missiles that get shot down. Direct US involvement is bipartisanly unpopular among the Dems and GOP, but that doesn't mean it can't happen. A serious threat to the Israeli state would trigger a military response. Not just intel and technical support or airstrikes, but actual army.
On that same note, Michigan is a critical swing state for the Dems this November, and Michigan has a large Muslim population who are mad at the current administration for supplying Israel and may abstain from voting, which means the Dems lose votes and quite possibly lose the election as a result.
With Ukraine-Russia, it is the other way around, since Trump wants to make a deal to make that war end. He probably won't succeed for reasons I already talked about last page, but it is something Russia would be warm to if they got their recently annexed territory. Ukraine would overwhelmingly disagree and if push came to shove they would try to rely more on the EU for ammunition, tanks, jets, etc., and long-range missiles, if they can ever get them approved.
Oh, also, as of this Fall, N Korea has actual boots on the ground in Ukraine now. North Korean military personnel active in a war on the European continent. Yup yup. That is where we are at right now. Currently, they're engineers who will get live experience and then probably go home as trainers.

Hello, Heroes of Might and Magic legends! I want to take a moment to give an enormous shoutout to Gandalf196 – a true champion of strategy, wisdom, and diplomacy. In a forum full of wannabe warlords and half-baked alchemists, Gandalf196 stands out like a beacon of knowledge. This one’s for you, my friend – a modern wizard if I ever saw one.
Now, onto the big news. As of right now, I, the 47th President-elect, DOnald JOhn Trump (yes, JOhn, just like that), am officially ending the conflict with Russia. That’s right, folks – consider it done. No more back and forth. This is no Tower diplomacy – we’re talking real negotiations. And you can thank Gandalf196, a true statesman of the Heroes community, for inspiring me with his wise counsel. They said it couldn’t be done, but here we are, and here I am.
So let’s make this a historic AMA! Ask me anything: peace processes, HoMM strategy, or how Gandalf196 singlehandedly kept this forum from falling into chaos with his sheer wisdom.

The question is where will he go if he is alive? Ursula van der Wall's house?

So now it's North Koreans who have to sacrifice themselves on the battlefield for the swollen-faced lunatic's imperial dreams. Now that he has run out of cannon fodder material amongst prisoners and remotely living, socially deprived non-Russian ethnicities he would've to start calling middle class "true Russian" city dwellers to the front big time otherwise.

I like how Trump already broke his first promise, "I'll end the war within 24 hours after my election" and the Russians's silentlyy chuckling response of "can't be done in a day, man".

I wouldn't be surprised when African african mercenaries start appearing, they would be cheaper, just not politically acceptable, but Biden just green-lighted defense contractors on the ground.
Crap flows downward, apparently.

Well yeah, most people who die in wars aren't well to do people. Males who havent gone to college get to serve as flammable meatshields in these situations. North Koreans are the closest example in the 21st century of a slave race, so they are now up on the chopping block in exchange for certain benefits for Kim Jong Bubble Tea. Middle class Moscownites are lower on the list. Gotta keep em happy.
I mean, it is going to help preserve Putin's reputation if he doesn't have to send more Ivans than he has to. It's a good move on his part to make a deal with the slave race.
Unless it backfires, because now the S Korean government is seriously considering doing away with its prohibition on sending weapons to areas with active conflicts (how do these people even live?) That means shipments of bubble tea grenades, anti-tank corrosive bubble launchers, bubble bombs, flamethrowers that shoot a spray of boiling bubble tea, mobile anti-aircraft bubble tea weaponry, etc. Korean barbecue chicken with waffles and ube pudding on the field. K-Pop with unbearably lame lyrics that is blasting on speakers capable of shredding granite and destroying reinforced steel bunkers in approximately 4 seconds or less. Free plastic surgery and breast enhancements for all Ukrainian soldiers. Video games rushed during development with more bugs in them than a termite mound, capable of making the soldiers who play them boil over in rage and become absolute killing machines on the battlefield. The possibilities are endless.

So yeah, the decision could backfire, depending on what they decide.
