Literally first hit searching MOAB and Afghanistan: https://youtu.be/0ep6oumVttY And my favourite: But can't forget the classics, shoutout to: And lot...
And since everyone seems to have forgotten, the whole foundation of the world's previous nuclear diplomatic structure (... involving all the treaties ...
... yeah ... true, but that just means Russia's only option to deal make their point of Finland not joining NATO is with nuclear weapons. I don't feel...
The problem is this is simply not true. There is zero fighting happening on Russian soil and, except for NATO using nuclear weapons (we we shouldn't "...
Here's finally some good analysis of claims made and repeated on Western media. https://youtu.be/W9pVEP0AzZ4 Really concise analysis a historian, well...
We definitely agree on this point. Different political structures will manage their interests in their own idiosyncratic way. Indeed, the only reason ...
Why I mention that the elites literally say this ... even after it has the reputation for being their conspiracy. But does it represent some coherent ...
Exactly, difficult to say Villepin was somehow squeaky clean, certainly at least knew how things worked ... or then not that smart after all. Even peo...
This makes a lot more sense, thanks! I had heard it originally as Massoud ... so, like, maybe Massoud has some referencable anti-Imperialist argument?...
He's still a politician though, and associated the whole ... A passage that paints Sarkozy as the victim--and maybe he was--but who later went on to g...
Of for sure, I definitely don't have any totally precise idea of Villepin's general political philosophy. However, this could easily be by design (or ...
... And West only really invaded Europe after Russia had already turned the tide. However, Villepin has another really good analysis that follows, tha...
There's one part I found note worthy that wasn't transcribed. Transcription skips Villepain explaining Russian perspective, in particular no credit fo...
Hilarious that this exists. And worth following the link, it's not even buried in a bunch of text as just the historical record relevant for that reas...
Although we are in total agreement here, I agree with Baden's analysis of: I think it nevertheless worth explaining somewhat more for your and others ...
This is honestly the most bizarre part of Western media "analysis" and the 6th (irrelevant) column of online partisans, that somehow the "humiliation"...
This presentation by the Swedish ex Prime Minister about his time really trying to focus and help things when he was in office, is super insightful. h...
It's just rhetoric to justify the policy. For, presumably, policies have some objective ... so if we're pumping weapons into Ukraine and sanctioning R...
That would not be winning the war. And maybe it should be pause for thought for you, and anyone that sympathizes with you, that you've engaged in page...
Again: explain how the nation of Ukraine is going to win the war and take Moscow and the East? But sure, definitely Zelensky the Ukraine "President" s...
We're not whining about social media, social media is whining about Putin and all but declaring Ukrainian victory and parading in the streets. Now, if...
I fear this boat has sailed. I think the offer Russia made a couple of weeks at the very start of high-intensity warfare, could have been taken. Zelen...
No one criticizes Ukraine for wanting to join NATO and seeking to join NATO. The problem is they aren't actually in NATO ... and maybe should have neg...
Zelensky just made clear yesterday that the constitutional questions would need to be done through the constitutional process ... with a referendum. S...
When does he say this before the invasion? He's said, after the invasion, that he's been "cold on NATO" for a while. And, also, I think just yesterday...
I need to sign off for the day, but I agree with your points. My expectation is that Russia will push to the borders of Dombas and then take a holding...
I think this is a central question. West assumes that hurting the oligarchs hurts Putin ... but maybe Putin wants his competitors, of which this theor...
The West is censoring Russian media, banned outright RT on every medium, even their website on the "world wide web" ... yet the West isn't even under ...
Not at all. Option A is obviously not cowardly, it would be the opposite of cowardice: it would be defending Ukrainian sovereignty and "democracy" eve...
This is not my argument. The argument is that if other victims of war are just as deserving as the Ukrainians, certainly you have already put the ener...
Ok great, so what's you plan of action? We condemn the Americans until they put down their guns? ... But if they put down their arms, how do they give...
It's your standard: pick a side, cheerlead one and condemn the other. And not just your standard you set for yourself, but you assume others have do a...
Go ahead, enlighten us with who's right and who's wrong in every contemporary war. I'm not cheerleading the Russians ... and no one in the EU is sendi...
It's far easier to know what are good things, and a good life, and the difference between pain and suffering, love and hate, peace and war, than conde...
I don't have a problem with Ukrainians fighting, it's their choice. I have a problem with neo-Nazi's, that's for sure; but I'm told that's a small par...
I said I haven't analysed it yet. However, I would agree with @"Benkei" that it's morally wrong in a very large sense of morality. In my view, "morall...
An escalation that would only happen due to Finland rushing ahead to join NATO ... but not actually be in NATO. Otherwise, Russia would have already a...
Yes, if we had no chance of gaining anything militarily and we were just being used as pawns to bleed the Russians, setup before hand to bait the Russ...
Which question? I literally answered "yes" to your last question. On the "gotcha" of morally condemning the Russians, I simply do not make moral conde...
Yes. The difference is that there would be a credible plan, equipment, bunkers and escalation of mobilization in lockstep with Russian force buildup (...
There are certainly war crimes, likely Azov battalion not letting people leave Mariupol, which may or may not come out as undisputed fact after the wa...
Exactly. People compare Russia to Hitler ... but Hitler didn't have Nuclear weapons, there was no threat of world obliteration if we went and fought H...
