  1.  Andy Mills  Russia had been asking for NATO membership since the late 1990s but has been denied - google for it. The closest NATO and Russia ever were was the Founding Act on Mutual Relations, Cooperation and Security, signed in 1997. Russia also helped NATO in its missions in Afghanistan. That is one of the reasons that Putin lost his cool: NATO was inching ever closer to Russia's borders but denied Russia the membership. I am not saying that Putin's war is justified, but if both Ukraine and Russia were NATO members this war probably would not happen.

  2. This happened during Soviet-Afgan war - some of the Soviet soldiers switched sides and took Islam.

  3.  @markgreen4612  Yep, this has been suggested. And it would be less bloody, as the road to the Kremlin is open, while the road to Kyiv is being defended.

  5.  @MrCmon113  Communism was not defeated because it has never been implemented in real life. Soviet Union was a totalitarian empire with elements of socialism.

  7. 30-40 years ago CNN would have its own reporters on the ground. Now they have useless pundits in the studio discussing things that happen on another side of the globe. I get it, CNN probably cannot operate in Russia now, but it can operate in Georgia. Why asking a Russian reporter to sum things up if they can send their own reporter? CNN became completely useless.
