      It's one of the most infuriating things liberals say.
      It started when fascists coup'd the original government in Kiev in 2014, and bombed thousands of civilians in Donbas for resisting. They then broke the Minsk agreement by attempting to join NATO and blamed Russia for Crimeans voting to be part of Russia.

    I am not a specialist on war or geo politics, but NATO will disappear in some years. It is not easy to predict the future, but I think they will disappear faster than that. The reason is because they don't seem like a credible defence alliance. The biggest thing that looks extremely unimpressive to me. They don't have artillery shells. If they want to get into Ukraine and sort of chase the Russians back to Russia, how do they do it without shells? Also. The Ukrainians have tried and failed. The Ukrainians have at least 10 times as much experience with fighting the Russians than what NATO troops do. Another thing is how all the members look to the Americans like they have magic forces. They are used to fighting badly prepared Arabs in the desert. How motivated will they be to fight battles in Europe which ultimately does not matter a lot to America? Last it is the leadership. Jens Stoltenberg wanted to leave. He was sort of forced to do another period as leader. Why they got no new leader? Because everybody sees it is a sinking ship?

      @@HupRino I am basing that on comments I have heard on diverse channels. What I think about is what the Ukrainians learn sbout the way Russia responds to diverse things. Drone warfare, jamming signals, the effectiveness of tanks or lack thereof, air defence and Russian missiles. I would believe the Ukrainians know more about the Russians strength and weaknesses than what the rest of NATO does. I have also heard (even if they may stupid cliches) that the American mercenaries complained about lack of air support. Many mercenaries went home as they had not imagined that the war would have been fought in that manner. So. Yes I feel the Ukrainians are more suited to fight a war in their neighbourhood than NATO troops which is said to be using outdated methods.

    I disagree on one small point...It was the fall of the Berlin Wall not 9-11 that set the US on a course of unipolarity. We both agree that the Ukrainian conflict was orchestrated as far back as 1997. It was spelled out in Zbigniew Brzezinski's book, "The Grand Chessboard" Where Ukraine would be used as a battering ram against Russia. Things haven't turned out as planned. The debacle in Ukraine and using the dollar as a weapon caused a loss of stature in the eyes of the rest of the world. This has triggered a realignment of a global scale. The ignominious departure from Afghanistan, the war in Ukraine and now an inability to manage Israel in Gaza, has the potential of causing the US's global empire to unravel.

      The USSR did not collapse. It was ended by decree. Russia's economy crashed when the US forced Yeltsin to do a very harmful instant privatization of all state assets. That meant selling all state assets which was 90% of the economy caused a new oligarch criminal class developed, the only people who has much cash, all the state industries were sold off almost free and the oligarchs suddenly were multibillionaires and many stopped paying wages in their industries. The US plan was to break up the country into 6-8 poor countries where the US could take control of the resources.
      It almost worked but Yeltsin decide to resign and secretly transfer leadership to a relatively unknown middle level administer in St Petersburg city administration , before being tapped to be a highly effective legislative assistant. Yeltsin kept it secret that he found someone he said was incorruptable. It was kept secret or the CIA would have murdered Yeltsin. Yeltsin was out of his depth as president and had listened to US "advisors" that included opening every agency in the government to have US "advisors" in every agency. That is what crashed the economy, not USSR. Appointing Putin as temporary PM for 1 year came as a total shock to the US which thought it had total control of every government agency. Putin challenged the Oligarchs, gathered them all in a large meeting and gave them 3 options, 1: be legal, pay taxes, pay employees and stay out of government , 2:, leave Russia, and take their ill-gotten gains with them but never interfere with Russia again, or 3: go to prison for their crimes. A few decided to stay and work legally, most moved to London or NYC where there were bidding wars for them by the two cities, all their crimes were forgiven but never had to be admitted, and they could get instant citizenship. When news of the change seeped out, washington was in shock that someone was honest had taken and shut down their power play and right from the beginning the west media has been fed with crazy claims of corruption and evil Putin, when in fact the rise of corruption was due to the US involvement and the people they just gave instant citizenship and immunity to, was just the opposite of what they planned. By the end of the first year as president everything changed, a little at first and then accelerated. Every year from 2000 to 2008 when the Wall street meld down crashed world economy, the growth rate of Russian economy between 3.8 to 7,4% Quality of life increased dramatically every year, corruption was weeded out, the police were reformed, incomes rose crime was almost eliminated, because it was not needed to eat. Savings rates rose and the middle class overtook the US and Europe in quality of life and freedom from debt, but cost of living remained low. Small business exploded. Real poverty dropped through the floor.
      I visited often starting in 1976 and very often in the 90s, but after hearing of Putin's impact as PM, I moved to St Petersburg in early Jan 2000 and have watched the changes in real time but also watched the decline of the west, the exploding poverty political corruption cost of living and feel sorry for those who are filled with daily propaganda as their only hope. IT is far more pleasant safe an fun in Russia today than trying to keep above water in the West

      As a German in Germany the most frustrating part is that still 3 out of 4 people see the US as the peacekeepers of the world and we can have total trust in them because they are not acting in their self interest but only for "democracy" and the good in the world. Allthough nobody ever listened to one single speech of Putin or Jinping they are all absolutly sure that they are monsters and want to conquer the world.
      When we went to school and they told us about Hitler they said one of the problems was that people blindly followed whatever the government told them no matter how ridiculous it was. And people who stood up were ostracised by society. And this is why we educate you now to self-thinking rational human beings who question their government so you won't believe any propaganda so that something like that will never happen again.....and what do i see now? ridiculous propaganda and who ever points to US crimes or mentions russias security concerns or europes economy problems is blamed a lunatic, a russian propagandist, a conspiracy theorist and is ostracised by society. They never told us who blew ip our pipe line. they said most likely russia. this is how much respect for us is left in them.

    Why did he say this on Russias invasion : '...which I find totally illegitimate and foolish to do but I also understand...'
    If you look at December 2021 Russia made an offer to the US about Ukraine to avoid conflict - rejected by US. In January 2022 Jacques Baud (retired Swiss military analystdocuments the build up of 60,000 Ukraine troops armed with US equipment and advisors on the ground, it increases shelling of Donbass exponentially (see graph provided by Baud) and positions troops ready to strike. Biden makes many public statements..Russia's going to strike and repeats it many times as he knows what provoking is going on and if Russia does not react he will just blow the Donbass to pieces until they do. Just after the war started a meeting in Instanbul: Russia made an offer and Ukraine was willing to accept it but Boris Johnstone (US) tells Ukraine to not agree. Russia makes many offers to settle but always Ukraine not interested while hundreds of thousands of troops die. Thinkers forum above says I repeat ' totally illegitimate and foolish'. Dont people read and get it? While he goes on to say some good things he starts badly....lost me. Talks like he is afraid of saying 'Russia had to do something or the epople of the Donbass get wiped out.' At least Putin knows how to protect his own while the rest of the world looks at Gaza and says 'please someone do something, not me but someone'

    NATO destroyed itself when it invited Poland into the organization. Due to historical reasons, Polish have hated and wanted to destroy Russia. Before joining NATO, Poland on its own had not had the capability or might to do so. When Poland joined NATO, it finally got the opportunity that it had wanted for so long: to destroy and get back at Russia. Poland has been the force working inside NATO to push for confrontation, conflict and war with Russia.
    In Chinese, we have a proverb: "Borrow someone else's knife to commit a murder." That is what Poland has been doing: it has been using the NATO knife to stab Russia. The irony is: Instead of killing Russia, Poland's pettiness might actually end up destroying NATO.
