And their styles of government are also based on the western model yes, so what's the problem again?

Government systems unlike the west to be precise. Governments with no division of powers. No free speech and freedom of press. No ability to get rid of leaders. Yes, N. Korea qualifies.

Even if you don't believe that your vote matters, it doesn't change the fact our leaders change. Our politicians fear the media. We have a division of powers. Russia and China do not. Richard Nixon, arguably the most powerful man in the world at that time, gave up power peacefully. You...

All I am operating on is that Putin is and has been a relic. He saved the Russian people from the oligarchs and stopped the Chechen insurgency kudos to him. However, that does not justify years of continued rule which could be perceived as kind of unproductive. After the glory faded, he had...

Europe has long told the world go screw yourself, euros first. Putin had to invade Ukraine AGAIN, just to get the Germans to halt Nord Stream 2, and I doubt the German chancellor was happy about it. ATM, most countries do not support a ban in gas and oil because it hurts European pocketbooks...

I think I already stated that in Putin's view, Russian security is more important than Ukrainian sovereignty. The issue here is a large portion of Ukrainians, particularly western Ukrainians, disagree with that assessment. Plus the most important thing is that Ukraine gained it's...

So it has nothing to do with Stalin sending thousands of Ukrainians to the gulags or just relocating them to Siberia, replacing them with Russians? AFAIK, Ukrainians have felt very sperate from Russia, besides the parts of it that have a large russian populations

Sucks to be an ordinary Russian when their savior became irrelevant shortly after he brought order and toppled the oligarchs. Ever since then he's had a hard on for recovering ex Soviet territory FUCK Putin and any of his apologists

Trump was never a republican. If anything, Trump is economically conservative but geopolitically a liberal. He is an isolationist, no different than the democrats who wanted no part of WW 2. True Republicans, like the ones who tend to not take bullshit lying down, have been warning about...

Everyone has nuclear weapons so I seriously doubt there will be serious, globe ending warfare. If nukes would be used, which I highly doubt, they would be tactical and on an escalation basis, like you nuke a city I nuke a city. What I do see though is proxy fighting on steroids if the big...

Now the world knows what weakness gets you. Germany looks the fool for sacrificing everything to Russia in the name of achieving 'climate goals'. Shutting down nuclear power plants and blowing and scraping for Russian natural gas via Nordstream 2. Taiwan be next if the democrats refuse to...

Democrat hippies think the key to world peace is by playing FAIR lol. Then you have ruthless asshats like Putin and Xi laughing at us.

Keep in mind the Trump crowd never was really true repubs as republicans have been telling Biden to do more than just lame ass sanctions. Really confirms my theory that people I always try shady shit when a weak ass democrat is in office. Korea, Cuba, Taiwan, Crimea under Obama and now Biden.

I remember waaaaay back I was in a thread about Syria. Someone with a Tom Selleck avatar actually tried to argue that Russian involvement in Syria was a good thing and that Syria would achieve peace faster lol. How long have I been saying Putin's a giant asshole? Now we wait and see if...

Yes because Russia's security needs trump Ukrainian sovereignty. Only Nazis would disagree as Ukrainians themselves would love nothing more than to be absorbed into the loving arms of mother Russia.

Due to global supply chains, I am sure this is going to cause consequences that reverberate throughout the global economy. Guess Putin really did need war with Ukraine to hold on to power and the Russian people will pay the price for the economic sanctions. Blame Yanukovuc who was playing both...

My sympathies to the Ukrainian nation.

If we had to go, a drawdown to about 6k soldiers in Afghanistan, over a much longer period, would have been more effective. Most of the time would be to buy equipment the Afghanis prefer or at least, kick up the training for American equipment. The whole point was to do something for...
