I recently had to visit Germany, Denmark. People are sitting under heating lamps outside of bars in the dead of winter having beer so they can smoke outside. This is how people are living. THey are heating outside patios as if its 2020 cheap gas, just so they can smoke and drink at the same...

Its perfectly fine for you to be jealous. While Russia tries to take a small town, US doctrine is about fighting two simultaneous theatres. Playing chess if you can neutralize the opponent with a few pawns, why would you be stupid enough to bring your queen and sacrifice it.

I thought he was going to use his shock troops to take over Kiev last summer. Instead they went to Disney World Didn't these real men you admire got their butts kicked in Afghanistan (the example you use) and couldn't even take over tiny Finland? How do you admire them blindly. I don't have...

This is the best you can do : quote a drop out from the Army that even in Trumps low ball administration could not secure an ambassador post to Germany. My neighbor's dog could get that post.

I don't interact with monkeys so I don't know. But looks like they are part of your social circle so I will trust you. You need to read the first post and read english. You are a fanatic loser. No empire has expanded in peace. You should read Islamic history and the great generals and the war...

Right after Iran pays its own citizens families for the killing of protestors. At least under the Shah, the army had the backbone to not shoot at its own citizens and ultimately led to Shah leaving. Afghanistan it stopped before it won. And I don't it occupying Finland any more. So whhere is...

The spread between Brent crude and Russian Urals was $29.24 yesterday compared with $18.55 at the start of November. Revenues in January fell 6 per cent year on year, the finance ministry said. So oil revenues are continuing to get impacted. But despite that, the devaluation of 20% of a nation...

Link pls? Jeffrey Sachs is a professor. He is not cnn.

Thats pretty cool. A former superpower captures a coal mining town and its first forward success in 6 months after withdrawing from capital. Not exactly the imperial might of the USSR when it took over an entire country and the Government, for 9 years (give or take) Did you forget operation...

You are an ignorant bozo. You clearly are illiterate and know JUST enough to humiliate yourself and bring the standard down of this forum. My original post (if you stop smoking what ever drug you are smoking) was sharing 3-4 examples of expansion through history. In my follow-up, I then added...

The funny part is not who spent what, but what proportion was spent. NATO has spent 10% of its allocated assets. More importantly the extra expenditure by Russia did not result in capture of Kiev, nor a friendly Govt that would run it to Russia's wishes. What Russia did get is define the part...

Again low IQ mentality for you to go back to the time before printing press BEFORE a keyboard was invented and internet. I have consistentLy stated that all empires expanded through violence. This has been good throughout history. I never picked Islamic expansion out as a single element...

There were 4 examples I gave to make a point and you just picked this one. I was referring to the destruction it took for each power to expand . This idea to abuse somebody without reading the big picture shows the low level of tolerance and backwardness you have. Thats why TUnisia or whichever...

This was dropped in 1988 when the US was very much funding Pakistan’s purchases.

Do you blindly follow propaganda or do you at least exercise some of your own neurons. Ukraine is a smaller population than both Afghanistan and Iraq. Iraq and Afghanistan are not smaller population size. At peak 130K soldiers were committed which is less than 5% of the combined NATO/ISAF vs...

These same F-16s have been going all over Syria at will over the last twenty years who has Russian supplied air defences, with not one shot down. So I think the nato cheerleaders may have some reason behind it. This point i will agree with you in terms of masking true intentions under moral...

It’s a fair point and it sucks. But thats what imperial powers do: they interfere and expand (or try to) and leave a trail of destruction when they fail. This is how Islam spreads all the way to SPain. Btw, you should also put an equivalent list of where Russians have interfered since WWII and...

Oh wow a protest in a democratic country. Everybody surrender because there is a protest. This is how a democracy functions, for good or bad. Protests against wages, airline schedules, railway conditions, and vaccines. Just because there is a protest, doesn’t mean the trajectory changes. Come...

you plan on raising the orphans that come out. There shoudl be parity but there are millions of children and somewhere through laws of nature, the tendency is children should be with their mothers. Every country should watch for themselves. Saudis court western money for their economy (and the...

Don’t bring the level of discussion down on this forum (regardless of which side) by giving amateur comments like this. The idea of being in the ADIZ for Russia/US/recently China is nothing new. THere was NO fly ’into’, it was flying outside of airspace to test alert time and defensive...
