I absolutely agree with you on the impossibility to win by Russia, unlike most people nowadays. Like the ones who are sure Russia will win the instant Trump gets to office. Not even close to military complex and diplomacy realities.

About recovering economy, history proves the loser always loses big. Russia would never recover from war reparations + sanctions, unless it completely became a Nato satellite state, like Germany and Japan did after WWII. Of course we all know that will never happen with Russia.

Just to remember the only State in history to pay full war reparations is Finland and they did no big destruction.

I would never believe US could go as far as making a question. Mind blowing.

‘Attempts to contact the trawler’s owner, Pesca Chile SA, were unsuccessful.’

N°1 rule to avoid international criticism in a modern world: don’t say a word.

…not if he wins the war. Like japanese in late WWII. Die hungry or die fighting.

I thought of that too, but then realized they need the latest graphic card updates to run Google, Amazon and Microsoft mass-surveillance applications!

Exactly. Those russian CS gamers are the worst scum in the world and deserve to be (cybernetically) wacked.

What would you personally do with that pressure if you lived in Moscow? At best get beaten in a protest.

Good.

Translated to English: US whitewashes arming genocide with empty words

Yeah, this was real news flash!

No shit!

How do you do that?

Not only politicians, remember press was full of ‘weapons of mass destruction’. I think what most westerners don’t admit is our own propaganda.

they just don’t know the meaning of chivalry, or even proportion.

Russia have repeatedly admitted it has no chance of beating Nato. Hence the nuclear escalation is the only matter to discuss. A beated nation will press all the buttons.

Sometimes dislikes are equal to uncomfortable truth.

This is the only elaborated comment here. It’s not even any kind of a strong opinion, but still enough to get several dislikes. Probably most of them politics professors, historians, diplomats and military experts.

Sounds logical in theory, but in practice one blocking a road gets the same jailtime as a minor abuser.

Julian Assange raped too. Raped the CIA and Pentagon.

Wow, what huge fine. Not even a mil just for deforesting the lungs of the world.
