  1. Remember one historical fact: Russia never talks about negotiations when they think they're winning.

  2. A nice side-effect is that it defangs Russia's nuclear threats. It's not total protection, but if you're actually launching a nuclear missile with all the escalation and risk that such a launch entails, you want to be damn certain it's going to hit what you want it to hit. Cutting that chance even a bit dramatically de-escalates.

  6.  @sallaMoussaIbrahim-ol5qh  "Whataboutism" is a Soviet-pioneered propaganda technique, whereas cricitisms are not answered directly, but distracted from by pointing out something that somebody else did. Whether the counter-accusation is actually relevant or stands up to criticism is not important, the intent is only to divert the attention of the audience.

  9. The most important election in American history is coming up in less than a year. Vote, and mobilise everyone you know to vote. If the Trumplicans win, you probably won't ever get another election. Trump has been very frank about his dictatorial ambitions.

  10. @johnhodgson8684 They want a Russian Peace, much like the script we saw them run in Chechnya. Eventually, thwe'll false-flag up a provocation and come back for what they didn't get first time around.

  11.  @sallaMoussaIbrahim-ol5qh  Oh, you mean the astroturf Kremlin-funded insurrection, along with the actual self-confessed Russian "little green men" there to false flag? Also, the war criminals who murdered the passengers on a civilian airliner, lest we forget. Also worth noting that Russia blocked a UN investigation into that conflict.

  12.  @iris1224wwad  Don't fall for the whataboutisms. It's doing the botski thing of assuming every war waged by a NATO member is a NATO war.
