In Topic: The Russia Politics and War in Ukraine Thread
23 September 2026 - 09:55 AM
Werthead, on 21 September 2026 - 09:41 PM, said:Also left unassessed is that if Russia and NATO get into a shooting conflict over Narva, even if Russia immediately backs down, then NATO may choose to intervene further in Ukraine in the form of limited reprisals, using F-35s to target Russian forces that are currently out of reach for Ukrainian forces due to Russian air defences.
I think the worst possible consequence is that any of the NATO nations in the area could close the Baltic for Russian trade. It would be very bad for Russia and is extremely easy to do. My personal reason why they are never going to do it only threaten. -

Finished up THIS KINGDOM WILL NOT KILL ME and found it a nice little read Ilona Andrews has this kind of book down to a science.
Returned to re-read of the Traitor's Son Cycle with The Fell Sworn and I love the Liviapolis part of the setting as a true Byzantine nerd.

Added it to my wishlist recently but didn't buy cause the description sounded maybe too weird. Is it good? -

QuickTidal, on 02 September 2026 - 01:37 PM, said:I’m reading THIS KINGDOM WILL NOT KILL ME by Ilona Andrews (first book in the Maggie the Undying trilogy), and holy fuck is it good.
When urban fantasy authors (Kate Daniels series) try their hand at epic fantasy, I feel like they often struggle, but goddamn if they don’t manage it here with aplomb and ease.
Sell it to you? Okay, a woman from our world is mysteriously transported into the world of her favorite unfinished gritty fantasy series with all the knowledge of two of the three books of that series that WILL happen, and discovers very quickly that if she dies, she gets resurrected (she doesn’t know how many times or why though) and must find a way to survive there.
It’s fucking great. I got sucked right in.
Think Ilona Andrews is probably the only author I'd try that concept from, will start as soon as my re-read of the Red Knight is done. -

And I was surprised to not see any comments on Lies Weeping considering this is a Malazan forum and Erikson was very influenced by Cook. But maybe I just missed the comments or threads. Can't wait for They Cry in November!
I have the physical book, but I moved when it came in and haven't unpacked it yet.
Good to hear at least someone else in here is interested in it. And I'm assuming all in this thread will get to it soon.
Didn't know it was out yet as the Audiobook didn't release until december might have to go out get a physical copy. -

Cause, on 31 July 2026 - 07:59 PM, said:Honestly have no idea but doing nothing it’s my working either. If America can’t negotiate this, the. Someone else has to step in as a viable as 3rd party to broker some kind of deal. Is the straights oil just going to be turned off forever?
If not Nato, China?
At the very least the USA needs a strategy that is longer term than 1 day of bombing, or 1 day of we are talking and we will see what happens.
I expect they will eventually find a diplomatic solution that is equally distasteful to all parties and they will all say they won the great war.
