  3. Talked to a Russian. He said the Union referendum in March 91 came out in support of keeping the USSR, so it was illegal for Yeltsin and Ukraine to leave it, so history had to be corrected and the USSR restored. He believed this sincerely. I pojnted out that the USSR was created by a coup d'etat, but so it was.

  7. Jake and the realist school, the same school which dominated Europe's disasterous response to the rise of fascism in the 1930s, the same school which assumes the leaders are rational and will negotiate in good faith.

  10. It's deliberate. Our "leaders" would be happy if Ukraine gave up, and they cojkd buy cheap gas again, and so would many citizens of Europe. They don't care.

  20. True. A Russian said to me, that we had never invented anything useful. I ran off a few, like toilets, toothbrushes, electric kettles, railways, TV, phones, tanks, footballs, shut them up😂

  25. The complacency of our governments is off the scale. There are thousands of regular North korean troops fighting on European soil for a country which does regard itself as European. Logic dictates, that Europe has been invaded by external foes, and our leaders squabble about how far Ukraine can fire its missiles.

  32. ​ @toby9999 The realists said Britain should make peace with Hitler, allowing Hitler free rein to murder every human his twisted ideology said did not have the right to life.

  36. Except the UK would respect the result if a border poll is triggered, and the vote would be fair.

  37. I'm sure it wouldn't happen in a normal country. They probably built it badly, so they could rebuild it again.

  42. ​ @mirekslechta7161 The German government budget is 1.6 Tr. dollars, the Russian one is 0.55 Trillion. It is a question of priorities, not resources.

  44. He promised a deal. To get a deal he will have to give Putin everything he wants. He will do this to keep his "promise". It will lead to another war of aggression on Russia's part, perhaps against NATO itself.

  46. ​ @SiliconCurtain thd western allies consumed 60% of Germany resources, the Soviets accounted for 70% of its manpower, but I don't ghink ghd russian govt actually cares what people in ghe west think, because most Russians will never interact with westerners.

  49. ​ @giselameunier4788 which is why when a meeting was organised to discuss russian entry to NATO, Putin did a no show. He was sooooo bothered that he didn't show up.
