“Explicit nuclear threat against NATO”? To my knowledge, he said: “If someone intends to intervene in the ongoing events from the outside and create s...

Correct. That's why I've been saying all along that philosophizing without knowing the facts is a waste of time. Besides, Chomsky seems to be more of ...

Did you say something? Anyways, life is short. So by all means, do keep telling the Finns what they ought to do, for all they care.
May 11, 2022 at 15:20
What's there to "misunderstand"? Both Johnson and @ssu have said that Russia will not destroy Finland. So, why are you concerned on behalf of the Finn...
May 11, 2022 at 15:15
We don't know that "Finland will forever be located next to Russia". What if NATO occupies Western Russia? And does your "strategic thinking" entail p...

NATO has aimed to draw Ukraine into its orbit from the beginning because when it shifted its defense line eastward after the dissolution of the Soviet...

NATO Nazis need an excuse for launching all-out jihad on Russia. And what better excuse than claiming that Putin is about to invade Finland or Poland?...
May 11, 2022 at 00:20
Well, I think you can safely substitute "Western" for "Russian". The world still hasn't forgotten the West's fabricated excuses for "defensively" inva...
May 10, 2022 at 23:56
Yep. Destroying Finland has always been Russia's dream. Right at the top of Putin's agenda. As if there was anything to destroy there .... :smile:

Dude, as with the rest of your incoherent rant, there is no logic whatsoever to your question. Of course I don't find Zelensky credible! He's a profes...
May 10, 2022 at 20:52
I agree. I think it's quite clear that the majority of Brits, French, and Belgians were quite happy with their countries invading and enslaving other ...
May 09, 2022 at 16:40
Exactly, including in Britain. That’s why Churchill’s fairy tale about “the Anglo-Saxon race” of which he was trying to convince the Americans was jus...
May 09, 2022 at 15:56
:100: :up: It has to do with NATO's ACTIONS though, which is what matters! BTW that painting is a bit of a joke, really. England, France, and Belgium ...

1. So, according to you, invading Cyprus, Syria, Iraq, is "internal politics" of Turkey? Invading, occupying, and annexing Tibet is "internal politics...

Of course it's a theory. But practical policy usually starts with a theory. Or at least with a working hypothesis. It may well be that most Ukrainians...

Of course the real forum troll leaves out (1) that this is not about "kicking people out" but about thousands of people arrested, tortured, and murder...

I think Seignac may have (inadvertently, no doubt) forgotten the millions of slaves, coolies, and servants - whom England, France, and Belgium didn't ...
May 06, 2022 at 20:21
On the contrary, it is you who misinterpreted my position. You need (1) to show that you correctly understand others before blaming them for misunders...
May 06, 2022 at 16:06
Good point. It's well and good to talk about wars, but if we're discussing Russia we also need to discuss the West. We mustn't forget that Ukraine bef...
May 05, 2022 at 18:48
What the NATO troll forgets to say is that "Keep the Americans in, keep the Russians out and keep the Germans under control", was NOT what Europeans s...
May 05, 2022 at 18:32
I think most politicians, and people with power and influence in general, see themselves above the law. Your "Norman" system doesn't really seem any w...
May 05, 2022 at 12:43
Well, if a statement is "more articulated" that doesn't make it more logical, comprehensible, or true, does it? You're claiming that my "propaganda is...

Of course, mud should only be thrown at Russia, Germany, and everyone else that disagrees with the mandatory EU-NATO line. And Wikipedia is Putin's tr...

I never said it wasn't, did I? But the issue was Nazism in Ukraine and other European countries. And as far as I'm aware, unlike many Swedes and Finns...
May 04, 2022 at 19:58
The point I was making was that National Socialism a.k.a. Nazism was an influential movement in Finland. And as you can see from the Independent artic...

The article says: Finland was aligned with Hitler at the time. And Fascism or National Socialism was quite influential in Finland: Far-right politics ...

It looks like some folks have their heads so deep in NATO propaganda, they forget that detailed info on Finland and Sweden’s collaboration with Hitler...
May 04, 2022 at 18:08
What you seem to be saying is that if someone doesn't want to submit to your EU-NATO Empire, they should be destroyed. Sounds Nazi enough to me. And a...
May 04, 2022 at 13:01
Dude, whether Ukraine joining NATO is a security threat to Russia or not, is for Russia to decide, not for you or me. In any case, if you've got a pro...

Dude, Russia has had a nuclear arsenal for decades and I don't see Russia invading Paris, London, or New York! Plus, here's an official Pentagon state...

You obviously don’t know what you’re talking about. :rofl: The fact is that Russia was attacked, invaded, and occupied by the Mongols. It fought back,...
May 02, 2022 at 18:04
On the contrary, I think that's typical dubious "logic" from YOU! :lol: Of course Moscovy was a vassal of the Mongols as it had no other choice. Moreo...

The evidence is the expansionism of US-created instruments of US foreign policy like the EU and NATO. If an entity is officially expanding, it makes l...

Well, the "abandonment" was only a temporary measure, as it was cheaper to do it by economic and financial means. Actually, they did try in the 90's, ...

I think the collision course goes back long before that. Don't forget Napoleon, England's Great Game strategy, etc. The West has always wanted to get ...
April 30, 2022 at 22:46
There seems to be a growing trend in the West’s anti-Russia rhetoric to portray Russia as a “pariah state”. For example, Robert English, a “Russia exp...
