  1. Yugoslavia has disappeared down the memory hole. It didn't happen.

  2. Managed democracy.

  3. But then you would only have warmongers and war — like Germany and Japan had in recent history. Look what happened to them.

  4. Maybe this time it would be a defeat so strategic that it would be too great to accept. Perhaps the USA by such a defeat would lose any standing it had among its allies and client states. It might be like the loss of the Middle East to the Turkish Ottoman empire that led to the downfall of the Ottoman's themselves.

  5. Maybe secular, rational Confucianism (humanism + amoral pragmatism) can.

  6. An end to the war and a return to the status quo pre‐Maidan coup.

  8.  @sylviam6535  Liberals and liberalism are just the left wing faction of corporatism. Virtually identical to the right except for details that, while minor, are nonetheless different enough for people to fight over.

  10.  @BC-hp3tu  liberalism and liberals are two words that have been hijacked by the CIA and corrupted. The same way the word conspiracy was hijacked and corrupted.

  12. Russia and China will simply continue their trade with Asia and the rest of the world and ignore Europe until the USA loses its influence there.

  13. Brexit may be looked on in history as the moment when the atlanticists (pro‐USA globalists) won a decisive victory over the continentalists (pro‐European globalists) and the Anglo-American vision of globalisation, unable to win the ideological battle with its rivals, made a clean break with the Franco‐German vision of globalisation.

  14. Considering that Ukraine was an integral part of both imperial Russia and its successor the Soviet Union until very recently then it it might be better to see the Ukraine-Russia war as an irredentist/revanchist war on the part of Russia. That is, Russia is reclaiming territory that is historically Russian.
