  1. Free riding: A European military tradition since the creation of NATO

  2. Chinese state banks are already struggling with defaulting real estate companies and failing Belt & Road projects. Dealing with Russia is too high of a risk, especially since Putin already has a history of stealing foreign assets.

  3.  @floydlooney6837  A tank is still a tank, even if it is vulnerable to certain drones.

  4. Don't worry. Biden gets confused about his Secretaries too.

  5. Or maybe not everything is about the US or Russia?

  6. Leave yesterday. Your freedom is at risk.

  7. Putin celebrates. Make Autocrats Great Again 🇷🇺
    22
  8. ​ @drdeadred851 The Soviet Union invaded Poland with Germany to start WW2, and then after the war, the Soviets then occupied half the continent for decades. Putin's plan to revive the Soviet Union is a threat to global peace and prosperity.

  9. Kaliningrad is as likely to be independent as Gibraltar.

  10. What about the political parallels with the Reichstag fire?
    15
  11.  @EarnestBunbury  The US can still be the leading power of NATO without being 70% of the military spending. Making it sound like Europe is doing a favor to the US by freeloading is such a cope.

  12.  @LollipopKnight2  Pernun was just arguing against strawmen who say Europe has nothing to offer. He also acknowledges that Europe does use the American security umbrella as a way to cut military spending. Basically, outsourcing their military spending to the American taxpayers -- aka freeloading.

  13. How are you still on this? It has been debunked a hundred times already.

  14.  @Omer1996E.C  That is because Arab populations rarely get a say in their politics, so it rarely matters what they think. Iraq and Lebanon have democracies, but even their citizens are often silenced by corruption and ethnic/religious divides.

  15. It seems cruel to have children in Russia. Why subject an innocent child to living in Russia?
    10
  16. Is it "aid" if Russia pays a premium on it?

  17. The only thing more annoying than Russian trolls are the Hindi nationalists in the comment sections.

  19. Or they know that Isreal doesn't let Palestinian refugees return home. Who wants permanent refugees in their country?

  20. Not all lives are equal. For the Russian public, minorities and prisoners are worthless. What happens when Russian has to mobilize from Moscow and St. Petersburg.

  21. Does "limitless" mean something different in Russian or Mandarin?

  22. A Russian political scientist just sounds depressing.

  23. No. Russia will continue to advance before Europe figures out they are in trouble.

  24.  @Grand-Rose  No one cares about your spell checks

  25. It depends. If NATO membership is included, then peace between Russia and Ukraine will be forever.

  26. The political gain of appeasing Trump's BFF in the Kremlin
    5
  27.  @Ravi9A  Eliminating the opposition to retain a kleptocracy and arresting anyone who reports the truth while pretending to be a democracy is the most cynical political system on Earth.

  28. The rogue nations willing to live under a saction also become cautionary tales to those who may think twice of running afoul of international law.

  29. Russia doesn't get enough credit for their successful offensive capturing Rostov-on-Don or their successful counter-offensive capturing Rostov-on-Don.

  30. Invasion? It's a Special Military Operation.

  31. I would love an episode of Trump's strategic thinking of him wanting a "war on the Southern Border." 6:31

  32. LPR/DPR and PMC causalities aren't counted by Russia as causalities, so they are often used as canon fodder.

  33.  @redvenge709  Ukraine hasn't used their leverage on Hungary energy security yet because they still get transit fees from the pipeline, and it is a hand they can only play once. Trump already sanctioned Turkey when they hurt his pride by locking up a political sensitive evangelical.

  34.  @Ultima-Signa  And most of the European "contributions" hid on bases as American and British soldiers went on patrol. Free loaders.

  35. @reheyesd8666  Greenland's population is 56 thousand people. My Houston suburb is bigger. Meanwhile, if Purto Rico was a state, then it's 3.1 million citizens would make Purto Rico the 29th biggest state in the union.

  36. You also have the largest voting demographic that will not have to serve. It is easier to support a policy when someone else has to make the sacrifice.

  37. Does Taiwan have nukes? If not, they don't have the deterrent as Russia.

  38.  @conors4430  It isn't just about population size. If it was, then the Soviets would have conquered Afghanistan. However, the local population was more willing to send their young men to die for their home than the invader was willing to spend on vague objectives in a foreign land. Ukraine will continue to mobilize until the war is won, while Russians seem unwilling to accept another mobilization.

  39. ​ @IronWarrior86  The fallacy that you can't chew gum and walk at the same time.

  40.  @Grand-Rose  India alongside China has acted as the main financier of the war. Modi saw the Russian brutality against the Ukrainians and thought "how do I make money off this?" Then Indian trolls justify their greed with "what about colonialism," while ignoring how Ukraine use to be a colony of Russia.

  41.  @redvenge709  The screws can be tightened on them. Ukraine can cut off Russian pipelines to Hungary and watch the economy collapse. American sanctions on Turkey would destroy their economy if they ever decided to.

  42.  @erosgritti5171  What's better? An old tank that is vulnerable to drones and other modern weapons, but it can fire from a distance, protect from small arms, protect from indirect artillery fire, and move an inhuman speed, or waves of soft infantry without any armed support?

  43.  @dominuslogik484  He negotiated with the Taliban
    3
  44.  @jfu5222  Trump has claimed he could have stopped WW2 and the American Civil War with his negotiating skills. I'm not sure where is confidence comes from when his negotiations with North Korea, China, and the Taliban have all failed.

  46.  @hungrymusicwolf  Except there is a 2% of GDP spending requirement. To claim the goal is to cut military spending is a lie.

  47.  @freedomfighter22222  As of October 31st, 48% of all aid to Ukraine came from the United States. Meanwhile, Europe refuses to do their fair share to protect their own continent.

  48. ​ @katieee4915 It is actually mostly in the hands of a Belgium holding company. For various reasons, Russia feels safe that Belgium wouldn't have the guts to nationalize it like Washington and London.

  49. Maybe Trump thinks Greenland's population is white enough.

  50. Donald Trump I went in yesterday and there was a television screen, and I said, ‘This is genius.’ Putin declares a big portion of the Ukraine — of Ukraine — Putin declares it as independent. Oh, that’s wonderful.
