    One of my notions is that social media has no sense of proportion. It appears to be a conversation but that's an illusion of virtual reality. There is none of the concrete reality of conversation, the body language, nuance of expression, smell or taste.

      Except when criticizing a public figure, who's personality exists, and is expressed, within the public realm. And in that vein, UA-cam personalities, particularly those with subscriber bases and viewer bases in the 10's of thousands, hundred's of thousands and/or million's, certainly are public figures/public personalities, even if within only a certain bubble. And Vlad did that in the most well meant, and most polite, not to mention sincere and effective, manner imaginable. As well, it was delivered KNOWING the recipient would be receptive of, and acknowledge such criticism. As Johnathan was, and did.

    Cold War barracks mentality in Russia never ended. That was clear to me back in the 1990s but we loved the collective high (and naive peace dividend) from believing so. Soviet legacy was never crushed and judged like the Third Reich. And since the Russians acquired nukes (unlike Nazi Germany) it was always impossible to dismantle the Soviet mindset. Strange how the end of the USSR and emergence of Russia has brought the world closer to nuclear disaster than ever before.

      Indeed. The journeys Germany and Japan have made since 1945 are what one would like to see in Russia.
      There are (at least) two conditions that need to exist for this to be possible.
      1. Defeat of the Russian state.
      2. Disciplin and a sense of loyalty to the collective among the population.
      Even if Russia was to be totally defeated, I doubt the culture posesses the determination to adhere to a political vision of democracy and equal opportunities.

    I find that Vlad's musings have become ever more vague and hazy since I had first begun following him back in early 2022. Personally, I would like the conversation to be more grounded, or at least as grounded as it was back then. Now, you get videos 15-20 minutes long conveying a message that could have easily been done in just a few and in a clearer fashion. I still value his takes, but trying to keep up with him has become increasingly more challenging for me over time.

      Afraid you are right, their culture does not allow them to not conquer. Any change is internal with external guidance and will take 3-4 generations to purge out the old and to just begin with the new.
      Wait or immediately decimate empires like Romans, Hannibal, Golden Hordes etc. but they just didn't change actively, the people who were in charge died off and new people effected change. Just ask history. The not so good empires were replaced and new bad start ups also faces the same thing, ask that guy Adolph.

      I agree partly. Only force makes sense in a mind like that. Crimea must be retaken and defended. That will shake up the gameboard (so to say). It will balance the weight of concerns on both sides (east/west). When that balance is achieved maybe discussions can occure (balance of concerns may, in that context, be aquated with balance of power (like the cold war))
