  1.  @rageofmankind  what soft power? 1939 soft power or 1921 soft power? 1953, 1968? Russia always used weapons because it is the only thing it has. Russia does not have soft power in eastern Europe because it is a failed state, even by eastern European standards. There was no western media when Russia partitioned Poland, Romania, there was no western media when Russia invaded Finland. Ok, the past is interpretable, so let's see how the present Russia is. What's the purchasing power in Russia? 29 k? In Romania is 35 k, in Poland is almost 40k. How's corruption in Russia? What's the average wage in Russia? 350-500 USD? Sorry, in Romania the average wage is almost 800 euro, in Poland is 1000 euro. What soft power? We don't speak Russian, you are even poorer than us, we don't like you, we don't want you.

  2. "ATO, mainly the US, had a massive military presence in close proximity of Russia's most vulnerable borders"- there mare maximum 10.000 USA soldiers in Germany and Eastern Europe. Massive indeed ;)
