How different is present America from the segrationist America would be more interesting. Totalitarian states actually give the perfect reason for peo...

But there's the anti-US team that thinks everything bad happens because of the US and is extremely unhappy about anything taking the focus off from ho...

And you do your useless stereotypical rant as you usually do. And as usual, quite clueless. Like "Stand with Somalia". Well, the Somalian government (...

One of the last things Trump did. War on Terror continues... sigh.

Although that Ukraine would field 1 million men is unlikely, it can and will use the pool of reservists and the National Guard to replace it's losses....

And same stupid arguments are given on page 245 as in the early 10's and 20's. Somehow not interested to reply to such bullshit.
May 17, 2022 at 14:47
Unlike you, we do look up what is happening in our countries and what is talked about. It's a common misconception to think that others are as ignoran...

Likely have not thought about = Likely have not planned to do This from the guy who until the end didn't believe that Russia would attack, that it all...

The fact is that Russia simply isn't a normal country that would try to have good relations with it's neighbors. It seeks the role it had when it was ...

Well, we obviously don't have an unified Europe, if we think that Russia is an European country (and I think it is, even if half of it is in Asia).
May 16, 2022 at 20:17
So obviously you don't know shit about the deployment of nuclear weapons. Hopefully you know what the US nuclear triad means. Hence two of those legs ...
May 16, 2022 at 19:50
Assuming that everybody is as ignorant as you about military issues just tells something about you.

Oh I make this up? FYI, not all NATO countries have nuclear weapons deployed in them. https://www.pircenter.org/media/images/SI/map_NW_in_europe.jpg F...

NATO can be happy with getting both countries to the alliance. But as with Poland and the Baltic States, both Sweden and Finland are happy to join the...
May 16, 2022 at 19:11
I agree with you. I think Ukraine has a good chance to halt the assault in Donbas and push back as they have done in Kyiv and Kharkov. They surely can...

Looking good, but it's not over yet. It's going to be an interesting summer. And the best thing is that both countries are doing this together. It mig...

What is imperialism is to acquire territory through military force. When countries acknowledge the sovereignty of a state, then that typically defines...

Now the future for Russia is either bleak or even worse. I remember when I stayed in Moscow in a family, acquaintances of my parents, during the last ...
May 13, 2022 at 08:41
The simple answer: The blowback from Russia seemed to be more than the security given by NATO. And earlier, especially during the Cold War and when th...
May 13, 2022 at 06:58
Putin pretty much nailed that. Getting one country to change it's course in security policy after 200 years of a successful policy that made it to avo...

May 12, 2022 at 19:19
Russia has it forces in Ukraine (do you need references for that?). There aren't many forces on the Russian side of the Finnish border. (Here in Finni...

Yes. And of course, and what really broke the back of the Soviet Union was the 1991 putsch attempt, which put the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist ...

Those that uphold ideas like "rightful ownership" are usually the one's who start wars.
May 12, 2022 at 15:34
I'm not so sure about that. If the Putinist regime would collapse like the Soviet Union, that would be great. We don't give enough credit how well the...

What I have referred to nonsense is you saying I have said that Russia will invade Finland. I've only quoted what Russian officials have said. "Russia...

Well, starting from the things they already have said: deploying more nukes to Kaliningrad and perhaps to the Finnish Border. I guess the obvious thin...

Oh boy, Isaac. Russia has genuinely said that, yet "serious military and political repercussions" doesn't mean Russia will attack Finland. Actually ve...

I don't write here with dual personalities, so notice what I say. I don't think Russia will destroy Finland. Russia has constantly threatened Finland ...
May 11, 2022 at 05:36
The fact is that Russia has shown enough recklessness and that it's untrustworthy with also having it's hands tied in Ukraine. If Ukraine was now unde...

That's quite a truthful graph. Calling it an "Central Bank bubble" is quite apt.
