Correct. I think the most important thing is to debunk the idea that "Ukranian neo-Nazis" are "Russian propaganda" when this is a well-known fact acce...
Correct. And that's because the movement is anti-Russian. As for its ultra-nationalist character, Wikipedia says: Wikipedia calls it "right-wing extre...
Is that Finnish "logic", again? :smile: If Ukraine isn't in NATO, it doesn't follow that Zelensky isn't doing the bidding of his NATO masters. Leading...
Sure. But I think the issue is a bit more complex than that. Aside from the revealing fact that NATO and, in particular, Ukrainian propaganda isn’t an...
The way I see it, there are two fundamentally opposed views in international relations: (1) continentalism which believes in a free and independent Eu...
CIA-trained Ukrainian paramilitaries may take central role if Russia invades – YahooNews The Biden administration weighs backing Ukraine insurgents if...
Sounds like a reasonable guess to me. I think Russians in general tend to be a bit less sophisticated than West Europeans because they have a relative...
Business in general does like stability and predictability. But some also make billions from price fluctuations, buying and selling assets, or stock-e...
Sounds like you've done some serious research on the goodness of coffee. :smile: Tobacco, on the other hand, seems to be less health-promoting .... Bu...
Well, I think a certain degree of national pride or, at least, appreciation for one’s cultural heritage, isn’t a bad thing. In fact, I am inclined to ...
So, you are not campaigning for China to give Tibet back to the Tibetans? Then why campaign for Russia to give Crimea to Ukraine? Everyone in Norway –...
Correct. Which is not surprising given that India and Russia are neighbors. Unfortunately, US-UK and their Pakistani collaborators created the Taliban...
:up: My fault. I forgot to mention the "frogs" and the rest .... :smile: There is definitely an air of superiority in the "Anglo-Saxons", no doubt abo...
Yep. That's why you are campaigning so hard for China to give Tibet back to the Tibetans, or for Turkey to return North Cyprus .... And of course NATO...
Totally correct. Racism in Europe (and America) is very much alive and well, only that it has acquired different forms. It certainly occurs in England...
YOUR logic, not mine. :smile: Have a vote? You mean like China did before annexing Tibet? :grin: NATO works by constantly expanding and not giving a d...
Of course the world should be 'one family'. The question is who should be the 'head' of that family. Not everyone wants to see America (or Wall Street...
1. If Russia’s fleet is based in Crimea, where it has been for centuries, then giving Crimea to Ukraine (and NATO) would be a problem. This in additio...
I think every war is a gamble as no one can predict the outcome. Look at Iraq where the West thought it was going to enforce order. It left chaos, dea...
I don't see how the world is "at peace" when there are wars of various degrees of intensity in Syria, Ethiopia, Yemen, etc. and when people are suppre...
Of course it is. The only difference is that the West is run by lawyers, political scientists, and economists, who are better at using diplomatic lang...
In a call with Macron, Putin has said: Putin tells Macron he will stop targeting civilians as Ukraine invasion continues – RFI Russia doesn't really n...
Well, America did it in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, and it did it no harm. So, judging from history, that shouldn't be a big deterrent. The only lesson to...
Talking about yourself again ... :rofl: Yeah, right. England has very obvious geographical borders and still they've always been insisting on having m...
I think mass hysteria has become something of a growing trend since the pandemic. People should just relax and not make things worse than they already...
Sure. Justification is a separate issue. And as Iraq shows, the West is not immune to acting on dodgy "justifications". So, I think a measure of objec...
I think an essential step toward a real and lasting solution would be to understand that the root cause of the problem is not Russian aggression but W...
Well, this really only shows that people aren't interested in the facts, not just in history. NATO control of the Black Sea, for example, would be an ...
Putin may be a dictator by Western standards, but I think one important point to remember is that Russia has a different political system with a much ...
Your statement was: I think the US forces were there before the Cold War, there was no Warsaw Pact in 1945, and there was a US-European military allia...
From your description, the reasons seem to be to defend America’s global interests, not to “defend” Germany or Europe. The Warsaw Pact was founded in ...
As expected, that completely fails to address my point. 1. If Crimea has never been Ukrainian, it is incorrect to say that it belongs to Ukraine. 2. I...
Maybe some do. But, apparently, only if started by Russia. The reality is that most wars have complex causes. If we decide in advance that the West ca...
Well, well. Quelle surprise! So, you are finally admitting that annexing Crimea wasn't Putin's idea but had been a strategic objective of Russia befor...
Obviously, they can't defend themselves if, as you claim, US troops are in Germany to defend the Germans and in Europe to defend the Europeans: And yo...
It is a well-known fact that Anonymous sometimes operates in tandem with the US and UK governments, as in the Syrian civil war: Anonymous Hackers Swat...
There are some interesting tactics or "discussion techniques" being deployed here. Do you think the forum should be renamed “the Talk Shop for the Wok...
No one said there is "a war between the countries". What I'm saying, and I've said many times before, is that peace could be achieved if European coun...
Excuse me, min herre, but I fail to understand why your defensive alliance is headquartered in Germany and not in Poland? Moreover, why is Germany inc...
That's exactly what US-UK want to see and why they've been arming and training the Ukrainians. So, logically, this will lead to (1) Russian withdrawal...
:rofl: So ... if you were NATO central command and wanted to fight Russia in Ukraine, you would station the bulk of your forces in Germany??? Have you...
What Russia could do is take the territory east of the Dnieper River. But Britain and America are arming Ukraine, so it isn't just Ukraine vs Russia a...
Sorry, but I think you don't know what you are talking about. If America wants "security against Russia", then let it station its forces in Poland. Or...
I think you are getting carried away now. Are you Finnish by any chance? :wink: I never said "Sweden is a puppet of the US", did I? I said "American d...
It was an example of actions by European countries that may be interpreted as "selling themselves" to the US, as referred to by @baker. Marshall Plan ...
In your opinion, what does "training" mean in practical terms? IMO, it means (1) training in the use of the weaponry supplied and (2) training in orga...
Are all "Buddhists" this negative and defeatist? Not all Europeans want to live under America's boot. Where there is a will, there is a way. And where...
Most Europeans sold themselves to the US after WW2 when they accepted Marshall Plan aid in exchange for European unification and US domination. Sweden...
