Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evolving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Crimea and the Donbass regions held referendums since the people have been wanting to join Russia for a very long time (ever since 2014 for sure). So in reality Russia didn't actually "sieze" any territories - they just liberated them.
I don't know what the population in Kalingrad is like, but if they are mostly Polish/German and want to join Poland or Germany, I dont think Russia would have any issues. However, if its mostly Russian at this point, and NATO tries to mess with them, that would be an issue.
But, "Precipice" is not just one event. Its all the stuff that has been setup for a while - including Financial Collapse, fake WW3. What you are suggesting could perhaps be one of the last dominoes for one of the theatres of the fake WW3.
It's nearly all Russian population currently since the SMO began. In non war time life, the place is a glorified tourist destination, shipping hub, and the Russians main access to the Baltic Sea militarily.
Yeah, in that case NATO can't just hoodwink everyone and simply claim the territory. But looks like we are witnessing what their real plan of escalation is:

Yeah, it's definitely concerning as most of the EU hierarchy and representatives are globohomo & swampy as it gets.
I don't think Latvia or Estonia have the balls to act independently even if given a gazillion euros and the green light to go ahead. Poland and Lithuania possibly, but both have scaled back their hostile rhetoric this past year compared to past threats and stupid ideas.
I remain positive but ever vigilant. There has been good news regarding individual member states and this very issue. Germany recently stated they would have no part in sending troops and or using Germany as a launch pad. I believe Fico made the same statement for Slovakia a few days before. Finland is back-stepping on its aggressive tones, same for several other member states.
