@bellingcat@NerijusM Hey guys, remember Iranian nuclear scientist was shot by Mossad from remotely operated car? Was there much fuss in noble liberal media about killing a scientist? Who is the guy who was killed in Germany? A mass murderer who somehow was freely walking streets of Berlin.
@KeirGiles@JohnRDeni Nice pic. But realistically, how would anyone defeat Russia?
And why not looking at a third option? Working with Russia, respecting and taking her national interests into account?
@KeirGiles@JohnRDeni Defeating Russia? Hitler, Napoleon thought so too. British, US, Germans, Japanese, Chechs, Polish troops were all trying to do it in 1918-1920. Karl of Sweden, Polish/Lithuanian troops, Ottoman Empire, teutons all tried. Mogols defeated feudal disunited Russia, and now Russians
@RutheniaRus@ALanoszka@KeirGiles Would you offer compelling arguments against Dr. Maitra’s point of view? Attacking personalities is politicians trick when they have nothing else to say. Groupthink is an opposite of realpolitik. Cliches are boring.
@DAlperovitch Dmitri, your analysis is logical and conclusive. Still, why would not US offer security guarantees if it was serious about preventing war?
@DAlperovitch Dmitri, US abandoned diplomatic language long time ago. Russia tried to negotiate in diplomatic language to no avail for 20 years, citing security concerns and offering multiple solutions. We all know how much effect it had, right?
@DAlperovitch Hi Dmitri, you sort of dismissively said that Russian proposals are not serious, non-starter. Why? What’s not serious about military encirclement? JFK certainly felt serious about not allowing Russian nukes in Cuba! Why would Russia enjoy the same on a massive scale?
@McFaul Great to see you Michael expressing concern! If US stops military encirclement of Russia, Russia would not attack Ukraine (and possibly further), right? What prevents US from fulfilling Bush senior promise not to expand NATO eastward? Thereby preventing the war, possibly nuclear?
@amoytheemd The whole idea of seeking faults in others is diminishing a person doing it.
Work on improving yourself. Getting into better shape physically and mentally will help YOU. Blaming others would just leave you bitter and take away energy and mental focus from self-improvement.
