Hence that fog doesn't mean that a) we cannot say anything about the war, b) everything said is a lie and c) we'll have a more clear understanding of ...
And even if have a society that where women are in a more "traditional" role, as is said, by no means does it mean that they wouldn't have an importan...
I'd urge both of you not to think purely of companies as an abstraction. Cooperatives can be quite effective. Some of the largest companies that domin...
Sorry, but I have the problem here of just what Kurth describes "post-" here? "Post" means something after, yet many things can be far longer trends. ...
I think that continuing old threads is a good thing to do. Far better that there is one long thread about some subject than 10 short ones. It also mak...
So... that leaves you getting your information from the Russians. Right. :snicker: Or then you could listen to what the UN Secretary-General says: But...
Well, I think we could leave it there and go onward. * * * How long the war will be and the possibility of escalation is another issue, which would be...
Of course our forum troll leaves out that when Erdogan made his putsch, it was Turkish officers working in NATO positions that were the first to be ki...
Are you really serious? How about that he annexed Crimea. How about the recognition of Donetsk and Luhansk Republics? Or the many times he has referre...
His intentions are obviously important. Likely he believes that the West has always been out to get Russia. And naturally that any opposition movement...
In this case I think what Putin says and does is far more important than what you, me, or someone else. He made the decision to start this war. And th...
Look, the thing is that Russia would have done something similar like this even without the expansion of NATO. Or do you genuinely think that Russia w...
Compared to central planning, a light touch of "free market" laissez faire makes wonders. And of course it's not a recipe for everything. And...that's...
Please stick to the thread. Where the West will go is another matter. What happens to Ukraine (or Russia) is the topic of this thread. Making a thread...
When it tried to "reinvent" itself. For some time, Russia wasn't a threat and the Cold War era thinking was genuinely thought to be totally obsolete. ...
The Mearsheimer / Kennan narratives just assumes that large countries ought to have "buffer zones" and "spheres of influence" and can do whatever they...
Let's go to NATO articles: It states that European states willing to join it are by unanimous agreement to be invited. A larger number of member state...
When it comes to international operations, especially the so-called "peace enforcing" operations, there is much to criticize. I think a military organ...
They are reurgitating the same message, but now it has grown old. Now there's no strategic surprise, it all can be anticipated and people do understan...
A strawman argument from you. The role of the US is obvious in NATO. One can arguably be critical of the actions that NATO has taken, especially with ...
That would surely happen. The underlying objective is twofold: to a) convince Russians that the evil Westerners are nazis and that they are out to get...
Wouldn't be the division of Poland in 1939 between the two be more than just collaboration, but cooperation? https://media.iwm.org.uk/ciim5/781/935/mi...
And of course for the Finnish Air Force, the Swastika, the emblem for good luck, came from the first aircraft given to the White Forces by a Swedish C...
I don't think you even bothered to read my argument. US is one player, but when it comes to Russia and Ukraine, it's a minor reason. Just as I said, i...
@"Apollodorus" is a genuine troll, so it's really not worth replying to him. Enough people have tried to correct his delusions. It hasn't been just yo...
HAHAA!!!! At least the Forum's Putin troll works like Clock-Work! Just as anticipated months ago, out comes the nazi card when Finland (& Sweden) will...
Ignorance and 'supporting the troops' make anything that otherwise would be satire transform itself to be the truth. Who knows, perhaps Putin will use...
Good collection. :up: Some videos have already been mentioned here. If one doesn't have the time to read and someone is totally new to the subject, I ...
Nonsense, Benkei. Just try for a moment the idea that not everything revolves around the US. Moldova had no intensions of joining NATO, it's non-align...
Delirious ramblings from the sites Putin troll. Russians lived in only a small part that would be then the Russian Empire even before the Mongol invas...
Hence it's rather wrong to portray as you wrote "became an empire because it was forced to defend itself against attacks by the Mongols and other Cent...
Then there's the pitfall where the League of Nations fell into. Or in what the ICC has fallen into. Meaning that the Great Powers can be happy to use ...
For the authoritarian like Putin, democracies look inherently weak and incapable of decisive action. Biden's US looked especially like that not only a...
First answer this: which organization has been more effective: the UN or the League of Nations before it? https://res.cloudinary.com/teepublic/image/p...
Do note the ribbon pattern of Saint George in the "Z". It's now commonly used to commerate WW2 and the Victory Day, even if the historical order of Sa...
Moscow and other Russian Duchies fell under Mongol control. And Muscovy worked for the Mongols to reinforce it's position: Hence Moscovy was a vassal ...
Well, you surely haven't shown that empathy. Simply just you repeat and repeat typical ragging and potshots at the US. Your first comment on this thre...
It worked for the Czechs, the Latvians, the Estonians, the Polish. Why would it for some reason not work for Ukrainians, if they are willing to make t...
This is simply delirious rambling. Anyway, as an Australian this doesn't concern you. Yet it's something that does affect my life, it's something that...
The separatism that Russia actually failed to instill other places in Ukraine (they tried, but failed) as they had done in other former Soviet states....
Especially if nothing happens in Moldova, it's again a positive sign. The first positive development is that Belarus has been able to keep out of Puti...
That growing confidence made him to decide that an all out invasion would be a great idea in the first place. What else was the annexation of Crimea t...
Yeah. Obviously you don't even read what others write. So why point out for example to policies that have been successful here, and how problematic is...
