I'm just a stupid civilian, so I don't really understand why all those smaller European intelligence agencies keep claiming that Russia will be ready to attack NATO in 3-5 years. All I see is that their economy's in a tailspin and they cannot retake the Kursk region no matter what.

my first day at USAID as one of Musk's implants. my supervisor, basedtaborisky1488, asks me to put together a white paper on whether the janjaweed is woke or antiwoke. i rail four lines of Soviet hovercraft skirt deicer off of a mysterious server installed by a guy in a PLA uniform and get to work.
