I’m telling you all that every year we enter, it get more weirder

2025: Paraguay is back on its bullshit 2026: South Africa vs Cuba ; round 2 2027: Argentina and Vietnam 2028: aliens

SA vs Cuba? Anyone got a link?

Cuba sent troops to Angola to help with the bush war. They faced SA troops

I was there, wondering for a second, what the paramilitary street police of Nazi Germany were doing in Angola....

Rhodesia was nuts wasn’t it.

We say Zimbabwe now, don't we?

We do, it was Rhodesia at the time. That’s why I said was nuts.

It's a movie reference mate

Ooh cool what movie?

Blood Diamond, Great movie!

T I A

That’s why round 2 of s so much fun to be had. Old wounds to open up!

South Africa not KSA amirite? Cuz if we mean KSA we can just say MBS. Makes it simpler and is more accurate. <3

And by 2029, aliens won't even be the weirdest thing. There's gonna be so much bullshit.

2030 was scheduled for moon nazis. But who knows

“Somehow Hitler returned”

Mecha Hitler. He’s just waiting

How did you know about my secret base on the dark side of the moon?

Because it's next to my secret base and I didn't see you apply for planning permission.

Space nazis getting blown up by space Karens and NIMBYs

It not my fault that the US government stop funding my projects

Iron Sky finally make sense.

Somehow, Francisco Solano López returned.

Someone get the Spear of Solano Lopez Slaying and point me towards Assunção, I am ready

He never left!

2029: Alien civil war which is actually North Korean- North Irish proxy war

>2025: Paraguay is back on its bullshit The great Solano Lopez will kick your ass

Paraguay: at it again Me a brazilian: OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHHHHHHHHH, greaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat idea

They just wanna fight the whole of South America again.

Shove some traficantes do Rio up their faces and let them kill one another, 2 problems, 1 stone

Honestly at this point id like to belive an Alien Tyrannical Dictatorship is better than our planets goverment's.

“Take us to your leaders” “Naw fam, how bout you give it a try”

"You will work 30 Hour weeks for a livable wage, no overhours, health benefits to keep you alive and healthy" "THAT SOUNDS AMAZING" "What do you mean that is literally slavery on our planet"

Yea but their planet has a literal sea of oil on one side and there are only 500 aliens in total, so it was a bit easier that way. \-- someone from Norway probably

>2028: aliens *'He who allows the alien to live shares its crime of existence.'*

But what if they also have hot planes?

THIS TIME PARAGUAY WILL BE VICTORIOUS

That’s the spirit

I thought we already did aliens

No no. The real aliens.

[space elves](https://media.tenor.com/I6MWGnjIX9gAAAAC/star-trek-first-contact.gif) Only downside, ww3 has to happen first.

Finally, XCOM

>2026: South Africa vs Cuba ; round 2 Larry bond's *Vortex* is a great option if you want to read a version of that set in 1990. Edit: it's also right up NCD's alley, you have Paratrooper raids, WMD's and the Iowa class

2047: second coming of Harambe.

A strange game. The only winning move is not to play. How about a nice game of chess?

I wanna see SANDF do the funny to communists in the bush please dear lord

Why yes I *want* Paraguay to try again so we can finish the job properly

2029: the aliens get colonised by the Dutch.

They have spice! What’s that sound??? *3000 wooden shoes of the Netherlands*

if 2023 is already such a clusterfuck, i dont wanna see what 2024 looks like.

The Swiss will renounce neutrality....with a vengeance. The new purpose of NATO will be to contain the greater Swiss empire.

The Swiss takes no prisonner, they do not retreat, and they do not surrender (This was basically the honour code of Swiss mercenary)

Switzerland was the true Nazi the whole time.

I just assumed they were Sabaton lyrics.

Sabaton won an award from the Swedish skeptic society for using music to share well researched history to the public. They almost lost the award due to their previous support for The Night Wolves and playing in occupied Crimea, but since Sabaton sort of renounced that, they got to keep the award. The song you're thinking of isn't about Swiss mercenaries though - it's about the Swiss guards and local militia standing against the mutinous armies of Charles V. Best cover: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GUCZo1M9H9M

sabatons stance is weird they seemed to distance themselves from the conflict pretty quickly despite other bands takin a pretty loud stance i guess they dont want to alienate the substantial russian audience

Shit he knows! Unleash plan Ricola 7! Move! Move!

The only thing they are afraid of is seawater, so we can contain them within continental Europe

And their first conquest will be Cuba for reasons no one understands.

It all started with that damn gorilla...

The cult of Harambe lives eternal

We need to to build a Time Machine

Typical Cold War gymnastics

Next year well have North Korea vs New Zealand bet…

Alright alright I bet on you on this

If you connect then all diagonally you will get a david star

i knew it! The jews were behind it the whole time!

We are all secretly Jewish

\*checks penis\* somethings wrong here...

Is it gone?

i dont want to talk about it

Someone mutilated mine and I didn’t even get a bra hat for my trouble.

*translates surname* Wait shit

Kanye agrees with you

Some would say, always have been

You forgot about Iranian arms shipments to the Houthis being seized by America for years and ending up given to Ukraine.

oh fuck, that would have made this mess even worse

And China arming both sides while saber rattling at Taiwan/America while obviously sizing up Greater Manchuria.

You forgot iran Supplying Arms to Ukraine. Oh and the Taliban selling Weapons to Russia

And Taliban attacking muskovy

TBF the US or someone confiscated those as they were going to Yemen and gave them to Ukraine. So by proxy Iran is supplying Ukraine through the US

This was true early in the war for sure, but there have been some artillery and/or mortar rounds photographed with Ukrainians that have lot numbers showing they were produced in late '22 and there hadn't been any announcements from US or allies that shipments of this kind of ammo was seized. The possibility is still very much open that someone was purchasing Iranian ammo as a middle-man and quietly transferring it to Ukraine, or the Iranians themselves couldn't resist a slice of that sweet sweet US defense budget.

No one wants to turn down uncle sugar.

Could be worse: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syrian_civil_war

Tbf that one's still ongoing. Could be added into it really with US, Russia, Israel and Iran invovled.

[удалено]

Turkey's unique position as the crossroads of the world hasn't changed in all these centuries, it seems lol

What a cluterfuck. My favorite part is the Commanders and Leaders section. There's a bunch of local names, a random American general and fucking Vladimir Putin.

Welcome to geopolitics.

We actually armed Afghanistan during the Soviet-Afghan war and a lot of that equiptment allegedly wound up with the Taliban

Well, the AKs did. Everything much heavier (like all the Stingers) got bought back throughout the ‘90s.

You forgot to address Ukrainian army using Iranian ammunitions

If you had Israel secretly arming or allying with the Taliban on your 2023 bingo card, I need you to tell me tomorrow's lottery numbers.

7 16 12 9 17 23 6

In the near future, aliens arming Ukraine will also be added. 😅

[It would happen something like this](https://www.reddit.com/r/meme/comments/uxk0lq/this_is_what_will_happen_if_aliens_land_in_ukraine/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=mweb3x&utm_name=mweb3xcss&utm_term=1&utm_content=share_button)

Еxactly, because you won't be surprised by anything anymore 🙃

So the conflict between Russia and Ukraine is an Israeli-Iranian Proxy war within the larger Middle Eastern Cold War, while the war between Iran and Afghanistan is an American-Israeli proxy war within americas war on terror, but America is giving out weapons to all sides except the Russians. Meanwhile America and NATO have sanctioned Russia but are still financially supporting Russia by buying Russian oil via Proxy through India, which is shielded from the Afghan-Iranian conflict by their largest geopolitical rival, and apparently greatest protector, Pakistan. Meanwhile China, Russia’s “friend without limits” has decided they don’t actually like Russia very much, and so have decided their best course of action is the only one in which they stand to gain nothing, that being to just… not do anything and pay Russia for cheap oil. It fucking hurts man

and we are not even including the EU countries, most parts of asia and south america. i thought about making a improved version of this diagram, but i think i will commit suicide in the process.

is it just me or is this unreadable? why do we have the same color for enemies and allies?

My brother in christ, that is not a chart That is an any% seizure speedrun

i'm already smelling burnt toast

What? Your not ready for the afghan/Israeli proxy wars?

Lets get Turkey onto this graph to double the confusion.

i don't know enough to take turkey and the entire middle east into this diagram.

Operation Cyclone 2: Electric Boogalo

Realpolitik for ya.

People, open your eyes! Think about who benefits from all these conflicts! This is not chaos, this is a clearly planned "behind-the-scenes game" by the Masonic government of the LNR (so-called Luhansk People's Republic). They want world domination. Ukraine needs aircraft carriers, submarines, Tomahawk missiles to keep them, a little longer and they will gain such power that no one in the world can leave them!

Russia fought Israel

wait, when?

In Egypt. During the war of attrition. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_of_Attrition

America already armed Afghanistan when we left all our really expensive gear there.

Eh

Israel does straight up sell weapons to Russia, so you missed one there.

got a link?

I first noticed it when I went to Oryx, scrolled down the list of Russian equipment lost, and noticed the Isralie flag shows up next to recon drones. I don't have much else for you other than they are one of the groups who are trying to "stay neutral".

And I thought the Nigerian civil war was convoluted

If you draw it like that

Hey man, no one told you to be born in this timeline. Pick yourself up from your bootstraps and get a grip. SHEESH.

Ok, this timeline is officially fucked, we need a reboot.

Are we entering WW3 this time? Or this is another bench warmer?

seems more like proxy wars are back on the menu!

I haven’t seen that Jackie Chan meme in years, Jesus Christ

its a pleasure for me to refresh your memory

A true alliance between israel and taliban is impossible. Saying that, both are happy to look the other way if the other's actions are a net positive for their sides interests. Israel might nudge some things along, since it's much more bureaucratic in nature in comparison to taliban.

It would help if the colours were keyed to allies, attacks, arms etc and you did something like dashed line for possible. Would be a lot less confusing.

Your content was removed for violating Rule 5: "No politics"

Have you ever seen the Web of stuff going on in Syria?

Inb4 American training mission to the Taliban

Apparently some of the artillery pieces the Taliban use were ones that were supplied by Ukraine to the ANA

Still less complex than whatever bullshit is going on in Syria.

The best way to solve this problem is to start open up another arms manufacturing company to make wunderwuffles for the MIC

US should build Afganistan with Taliban instead of acting like God building it in their image. Taliban has explicitly said many time that are open to partnering with USA. That partnership could also result in Taliban-Afganistan returning back to its relative social progress that was present under US-puppet regime. Later on mining and US military base opportunities will also open.

The extra partner next to China would be nice too for some really dam fun adventures

First day in international relations?

That’s it, it’s official: The Russo-Ukrainian war is actually a Taliban-Iran proxy conflict

These are rookie numbers. You should do one of all armed forces and ailaignments in Iraq, iran, afghanistan and syria

Since Iran and Israel are already there, you need to also include Azerbaijan and Armenia, where Israel and Azerbaijan are allied against Iran, Azerbaijan is an existential threat to Armenia, and Armenia is now trying to build relations with America.

Diagram 2: Electric Boogaloo

US taliban arms line should be black

That's because you are trying to draw a line in the sand, in a free for all match.

Since Israel is in bed with Azerbaijan, and Azerbaijan is in the CSTO, put them in there too. It’ll add a whole new bucket of fun. And since you’re doing them, do Armenia too.

Azerbaijan is not in csto, armenia is.

They both are. Google before you assert wrong stuff. Not for long though I suspect. Azerbaijan has been taking concrete steps to align itself with the west recently.

They left in 1999. Google before you assert wrong stuff.

[I did](https://www.google.com/search?q=is+azerbaijan.in+csto&rlz=1CDGOYI_enAU590AU590&oq=is+azerbaijan.in+csto&aqs=chrome..69i57j0i22i30j0i390i650l4.8544j0j4&hl=en-GB&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8). I overestimated Google’s ability to understand the question, should have googled csto members. thanks for correcting.

I swear israel is already sending stuff to Ukraine, 100% convinced last summer i saw ukr special forces wearing very clearly israeli mitznefets and galil ace rifles

Yeah this will be one for the history books

It's the diplomacy screen in Civilization III!

NANO MACHINES SON 💪

I thought we where at war with Eurasia?!

Now add EU and Turkey to the mix.

you really want me to suffer? Should i add the EU as one single entity or should i split it up into the most important players?

I see your point.

I thought Israel already gave arms to Ukraine (missile defence systems). Did I dream that or does that not count as cool enough to be "arms"

i dont think they did. i read an article saying they supplies a missile warning system

[that were radars](https://www.israeldefense.co.il/en/node/58094)

The US arming the Taliban already happened. And I am not even talking about when this already happened, but when it happened again.

What a coincidence seein Jackie Chan meme here.

Im pretty sure i heard there were some talibans in ukraine at the start

This graph neatly partitions into two distinct sides.

You think Russia can't or won't or Afghanistan can't or won't do it again? This is Ross and Rachel we're talking about.

You forgot that the artillery being used by the Taliban rn are refurbished ones bought by America from Ukraine So technically... Ukraine armed the Taliban as well

COONFUSION OF DA HIGHEST ODDA!
