A few things

1. Nobody has the force projection necessary to invade the US, nobody even builds their military with that goal in mind.

2. WWIII doesn't have to involve Russians going into your house for the US not to be unaffected, while we are a net food exporter, the majority of that is animal feed. We import most of the food you see in grocery stores, tons of parts for our power grid, refineries, and other vital infrastructure is imported too. The Yemen is managing to shut down US-aligned shipping off their coast with drones and missiles, despite getting indiscriminately bombed with US bombs and planes for a decade.

3. Occupations suck for the guys getting occupied. Iraq allowed 1 machine gun per family. Do you think the Iraqis had a good time when we occupied them?

4. Nukes.

"We are now confirming once again that playing with fire—and they are like small children playing with matches—is a very dangerous thing for grown-up uncles and aunts who are entrusted with nuclear weapons in one or another Western country."

So countries with nuclear capabilities should be more responsible and perhaps not invade their neighboring countries? 🤔

Well, a direct invasion of the US is a bad option and the world knows this.

The problem is with Russia is state controlled media. If Putin was eliminated, the world probably wouldn't know for at least a week and that would give their media enough time to tell the public who else they should like instead. It wouldn't surprise me if there is a pre-recorded video of Putin "stepping down" or "retiring".

If you have ever watched Russian state media, you will see they are probably worse than the Ministry of Truth. Their panel discussions are disgusting, actually. Four or five different people, with four or five different "views" that all converge on the same exact points: West evil, Putin god, Russia war machine invinsible, Russians have the best society on earth, everyone else is a nazi.

(I don't want to exclude the rest of the worlds media either. Most major outlets have their own agendas for sure, but Russians probably get the most blatant version. They don't even hide it.)

The Russian economy is very soon going to completely collapse. They have nothing to prevent this. All indicators are pointing to this. Massive inflation, Ruble and Trade isolation on the world market. No one wants anything to do with them and they are pretty much broke. Soon. I just saw a video of a captured Russian Veteran soldier talking about all of the contraband AK guns being wrapped up in the body bags to be sent back. It's all about making money on the black market, so the reversion to Soviet times is becoming real again. The crime wave after the war is going to be bad. On top of internal social degradation, they will be isolated and will prey upon themselves to survive and exploit the carcass of what is left for the remaining future. I believe that, as a foreign power, they are done.

Given how completely dogshit the rest of ruzzian military is, I wouldn't be surprised if their arsenal of nuclear weapons was shit too. I can confidently bet that before a single nuke was fired from them, they would be completely obliterated.

Now sure if Russia + few shithole countries are really up for WW3, unless everybody lets nukes fly.

It's just the usual shit talking, small dick energy saber rattling. Russia likes mind games, they wouldn't engage in disinformation campaigns otherwise.

The only gun problem we have in the US is not enough of them.

An armed society is a polite society.
