@notyassine900 of course they have strong sense of national identity and actually develop institutions capable organizing the economic base, a thing pathetically absent from it's neighbors
@notyassine900 you can be a raging Zionist while also developing a techno-industrial base, the political culture in Israel was always that of ethno-religious state, while simultaneously having a strong technical base
@notyassine900 The IDF was secular institution ? an organization born from terrorist groups that acts like a rouge militias to this day was never secular to begin with
Cette caste de ploutocrates paresseux et incompétents n'arrive pas à comprendre que la France est une économie libérale et un état de droit. Il n'y a personne pour leur expliquer que seul le Maroc fonctionne comme une plantation de coton en Virgine au 17ème siècle.
@dontbecringey I agree there's much degree of self restraint in Ru or realism about one's own capabilities than the US, problem like Iran when it avoided extensive response in the Middle east wars, this was understood in the US as weakness, US want confrontation at every level
@dontbecringey MAD deterrence doesn't seem to hold effect at warehouses or oil sites, so Russia actually has it's own operations of sabotage and response that can reach Europe Itself, objective isn't complete victory, but rising cost at the other side
@dontbecringey US too can't simply engage to much, Putin inability to hold any red line definitely encouraged the west, but Russian hybrid operations are definitely counter measures, again both operate in hybrid form, because both can't afford to start actual war
@dontbecringey clearly the leadership still look for war resolution and open to negociatons at any time, this doesn't neglect military operations, both can co-exist
@samhaselby So US doing same thing over a century somehow didn't shake the image of freedom and democracy.
simply US was more adaptable in it's elternal politics and economy
