1) is incorrect already. America is losing in every aspect, as is her half dead president = Russia wins in terms of NATO and in terms of optics, but mostly regarding the first topic they have an imperative on defense and positioning.

2) is mostly correct on its claims. I don't have a big enough gripe to dispute any of those larger issues as to why it always would be looked at as a challenge. Brower and friends would argue otherwise, by the way, as a side note.

1) Even if America had a strong leader and Russia a weak one, my opinion on the crisis in Ukraine would remain the same. Because leadership strength is a separate issue from more pressing ones such as (a) American national interests and (b) who has the moral high ground among the parties involved in the dispute.

2) I see you're warming up to the "Eurasian Balkans" theory.

I frequently consider your ideas. I just don't stress the petrodollar angle like you do, though there is something to it (small though in the big picture).

Interesting how this is following the German strategy for the dismemberment and takeover of Czechoslovakia. Which included the "protection" of breakaway republics (and the participation of Hungary, and, believe it or not, Poland).

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German_oc ... hoslovakia

As a side note, from the headlines of the New York Times of August 28, 1939 (a few days before actual invasion of Poland):
"Hitler tells Paris he must get Danzig and Corridor"
"Berlin thinks door is left open to Peaceful Solution"

Funny how history repeats itself. Ukraine will be our modern day Czechoslovakia. What Putin really wants are the Baltic States, and hegemony over Eastern Europe (Poland, Hungary, Romania, Slovakia, Bulgaria). This is as much of a pipe dream as Hitler's Germania.

Putin is much more interested in uniting the Orthodox countries under one empire than he is in restoring the Iron Curtain. That means his imperial project won't be pushing further west once Ukraine is out of the way. Instead, it will be turning south.

Uniting Orthodox nations under one empire?

So that's why he destroyed Georgia, stole two provinces, and killed thousands of Orthodox Christian Georgians?

That's why he has tortured and murdered numerous Russian orthodox Christian opponents, including an orthodox Christian ex-prime minister of Russia?

That's why he has killed thousands of Orthodox Ukrainians and runs torture and rape rooms across the rebellious regions of Eastern Ukraine?

That's why Putin has stolen over 200 billion US dollars from other Orthodox Christian Russians?

All this because, no doubt, Putin has Jesus Christ at the center of his life?

You don't know anything about anything.

Are you a paid Russian troll? Or just really stupid?

And this will be Russia's excuse to attack Ukraine: they will be 'protecting' the two newly independent breakaway republics...

Navigator. You understand the situation better than Cool Breeze, Kardi, and Thomasglee. I also expect Serbia to make moves in the Balkans if the invasion of Ukraine is a success. Mass rape and genocide everywhere.

I expect the pro-Putin crowd will watch TV and eat pastries while their countrymen go off to fight and die fighting against the Russians and Serbs.

Of course, they will change their tune publicly once the fighting starts: "I never liked Putin..."

Puke.

Again, inaccurate characterization. Not one person on here who has countered the outrageous claims against Mr. Putin has ever said he was "good." We just point out characteristics in terms of policy that show he is a) a better leader and b) supports traditional things ...

Traditional things like the palace that Tolstoy used as a model for Anna Karenina? The same palace that Putin's daughter was allowed to purchase, destroy the interiors, add a third level, and install a Burger king and Sushi restaurant inside? What part of tradition was Putin supporting when he authorized that?

You mean Putin, the protector of traditional Russian architecture? The same man over authorized the destruction of entire blocks of Czarist era buildings and replaced them with grotesque and gaudy houses constructed by his criminal billionaire cronies?

Putin, the Orthodox Christian who has installed stripper poles in all of his homes and offices? What part of Orthodox Russian culture is Putin upholding with that?

How has purchasing $850 toilet brushes from Italy (by the hundreds) for his palaces strengthen Russia? How do stripper poles enhance the spiritual health of Russia?

You are as as spiritually corrupt and empty as Putin himself.

You are also one of his fools.

Mass rape and genocide everywhere.

Let me guess, BTC is a "ponzi scheme" and the EUA for a therapy that actively hurts people was "good."

I don't expect you'll ever change your sensationalist views based on fiction, so at least I won't be looking for any of it - but your views don't matter luckily, so we can discard them since it's so obvious you aren't right about anything.

Did you hear all of this information from Dr. Malone too?

CB, your mask keeps slipping! People caught on to you a long time ago, but please don't go. I want you to stay around and bask in the glory of your conspiracy theories and 4th rate Russian propaganda.

Turn off RT television. It's not good for you.

As for Bitcoin...

‘Crypto Ruined My Life’: The Mental Health Crisis Hitting Bitcoin Investors

If you have a friend who’s “into crypto”, then now is the time to check in on them. In late January, prices of Bitcoin and Ethereum, two of the most popular cryptocurrencies, plunged to levels that many experts never predicted, and memecoins like Dogecoin were dragged down with them. Countless people have watched thousands of pounds disappear before their eyes.

Just like your calls on BTC? Yah, you're one to give advice.

Stop making shit up. I did not at any point say that Putin is a sincere Christian. In fact, I agree with you that he isn't.

And I stand by what I did say. I didn't pull that assertion out my ass. I got it straight from Dugin's "Foundations of Geopolitics." A book which is about as important to understanding Putin's foreign policy, as Brzezinski's "The Grand Chessboard" is to understanding neocon/neolib foreign policy.

So what you meant to write was not "unite" but "enslave" orthodox nations under one empire?

"Putin's Brain" Dugin is a creepy whack job.

Call it whatever you like. Whatever empire Putin builds certainly won't be a free country, so you have a point there.

I also agree with you that Dugin is a whack job. As is any Nazbol.
