This feels reminiscent of nazi fear mongering about a bolshevik invasion

It was very funny the first time I was in Austria and the Saturday test sirens went off (this is a thing in Austria. Every Saturday they blow all the air raid sirens just in case they're one day invaded) and one of the Austrian teens jumped up and yelled "fuck! The Russians are here!" to screw with the foreigners who didn't know about the tests, but became much less funny when I realised the Austrians genuinely thought Russia was on the brink of invading at all times.

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 53 points 1 day ago

Why would Russia do any of this. They literally aren't even interested in taking all of Ukraine, just the parts where ethnic Russians were being oppressed. Lib brain is nonsensical

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 45 points 1 day ago

Same reason why all the Midwest collectively shit themselves after 9/11 thinking Al-Qaeda was going to bomb Six Flags or the Mall of America

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 30 points 1 day ago

I wish they would have to be fair

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 25 points 1 day ago

I mean, if they were going to bomb the Midwest, there are several places in Wisconsin I could have suggested

[-] Findom_DeLuise@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

Make sure the Figi's factory is on the list. Those so-called "fresh" cheese curds have really taken a nosedive in quality in recent years.

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 11 points 1 day ago

Having moved away, I have to say my curd choices have diminished greatly

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 4 points 19 hours ago

There's a cheesemonger about an hour's drive away from me. It's fantastic stepping into that massive refrigerator and just inhaling all the cheeses.

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago

They won't but the political and investment establishment is full of i-am-adolf-hitler and have collective pants shitting from WW2 and they need to maintain the commies are coming to overrun us and deny us power and money

[-] dkr567@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Everything happens in a vacuum and no historical contexts are ever needed/taught in liberal fascist land.

[-] merthyr1831@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 day ago

If you had every "Austrian Guy trying to fearmonger about an invasion from Russia" in a room you'd have two guys.

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

[-] SoyViking@hexbear.net 40 points 1 day ago

This is what European liberals actually believe.

They have no realistic understanding of the material world, it is all Harry Potter to them. I've had "adult in the room" liberals, serious people with serious jobs, react to my suggestion that Denmark should defund its military to fund welfare by asking the snarky question "how much welfare will there be when Russia invades us?"

That one Austrian army guy doing popular war mapping on YT: "So anyway"

[-] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 51 points 1 day ago

if bakhmut falls then paris is next. its simple geography

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 8 points 16 hours ago

If Chasiv Yar falls, China will invade Taiwan and Europe will become Putinland!

[-] Sodium_nitride@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 16 hours ago

Europe will become Putinland!

Damn, we might actually get a functioning economy

[-] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 6 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

little did you know about putin's revanchist plans against taiwan (russian name niu madrid), he's gonna enter the island before china finishes bombing it and then china will be russia

[-] Kieselguhr@hexbear.net 27 points 1 day ago

They'll draft all of North Korea to invade Rennes!

[-] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago

first bakhmut, then 7,882,234 villages after paris, texas, and then THE WORLD

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 16 points 1 day ago

The order of the 7,882,234 villages is a precise predetermined order, and they all matter but are simultaneously inevitable from the fall of Bakhmut

[-] ThomasMuentzner@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago

new york was nexts actually..

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 8 points 21 hours ago

They're gonna do the hoi 4 thing and send amotorized division all the way to vienna

[-] MiraculousMM@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

I'm sure this person cares just as much about Hungary being invaded right?

[-] PolandIsAStateOfMind@lemmygrad.ml 2 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

They probably think Austria-Hungary is the same

[-] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 2 points 8 hours ago

The ~~Turk~~ Slav lusts for Vienna!

[-] Seasonal_Peace@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The only plausible way Russia might attack Austria wouldn’t depend on controlling Ukraine.

the good ending

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago

The Russians wouldn't deploy nuclear armaments to kaliningrad oblast

[-] ComradeMonotreme@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

I thought they deployed a couple of nuclear armed kinzhals in MiGs to Kaliningrad (not that it matters given the range on a hypersonic missile).

[-] ThermonuclearEgg@hexbear.net 23 points 1 day ago

They also wouldn't be attacking Austria for no reason either

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 23 points 1 day ago

Yeah there really isn't anything there worth invading for.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 7 points 16 hours ago

Pastries and cakes, maybe?

[-] polskilumalo@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 14 hours ago

Just kidnap the bakers

[-] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

There are some nuclear armaments belonging to Russian Baltic Fleet there.

[-] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 10 points 1 day ago

Doesn't really count since that's the naval leg of the triad
