Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

If there is a WWIII, the US will be at the center of it.
What's happening in Ukraine is most likely going to prevent a wider war. If Russia were to win easily, there's a good chance the lesson they'd learn from that is that nobody will stop them if they invade a weaker neighbour. Eventually that might lead to WWIII. The war being prolonged and limited to just one country is a way to drain Russia of fighting age men and war materiel without the war spreading. Even the war ending too quickly might mean Russia is able to regroup and launch another attack on a neighbour.
Biden's plan was one that was extremely unlikely to lead to a wider war. Besides, Biden was giving them weapons, not selling them. If anything it was a give-away to the defence companies on behalf of the US tax payers. But, maybe that's OK if it keeps US soldiers out of the war and prevents Americans from getting killed.
And what's wrong with letting Ukrainians use those weapons to end the war quickly be defeating russia?
Huh?
