Not that Soviet Union purposefully didn't deport the ethnic population of occupied nations and send ethnic Russians to replace them so they could change the demographics of the countries and weaken nations

I don’t dispute that the Western judicial system can be used to go after people and it is used in this manner. But can you not see the difference between the West and Russia? In Russia the judicial system is 100% going to sentence you if those in power want to. In the West, and I know people who have dealt with this, it’s not the case. They go after you, you can fight them and win. They will keep going after you with new things until they get you, that’s another story, but you can fight them and win. In a corrupt autocratic government you cannot fight and win.
What’s the difference? Kim Jong Un poisoned his uncle. Putin poisons his enemies.
How dare you insult this great man. In Russia, you aren't even allowed to drink your own piss, so we should be applauding him for his bravery and his freedom

Sorry, I'm confused here. Are you a moderator? Are you aware this is off topic chat? Is this an official reprimand? Or do you only like people posting who agree with you? If you want an echo chamber, then go you, but I don't and never have thought like and acted with the majority. You even have a problem with me drinking my own urine (and it's rather sad that, that comment got screenshotted to use as "ammo" against it's author later on. I thought this forum was better than that). Am I supposed to wake up, take my big pharma antidepressant, go buy a Starbucks, whine about on Russia on Facebook instead?I approach this forum like everyone could potentially teach me something. Why would I block anyone? That's just weak-mindedness.
Shoot, if I was going to block anyone, it would probably have been @Black_Dragon43 or maybe @thechosen1 after our several dust-ups. And they teach me stuff all the time.
Blocking would've been my loss, not theirs.
So for the record, I only pop off to those who I think might actually be able to provide value. I gave you the respect of an honest response. It wasn't intended as an insult, it was a call to step up your game.
Shoot if I criticized everyone on this forum who needed to hear it I'd never get anything done.
Apparently, the call was sorely needed. Wowza.
Everybody, I want you to introduce you to what I call the @Lex DeVille rule. Early in my time on the forum I saw him say he only posts when he thinks he is adding actual value to the thread.
So check yourself. Are you bringing the value or just trying to sound smart?
That's an especially important rule in a thread like this, but it goes for every thread. Hey, I fail to meet that standard too. But I'm trying...
Lastly, adding value can be appreciation. I'm terribly ignorant about this part of the world, so I appreciate those of you who posted thoughtfully. Thank you.
Sorry for the thread hijack. I'll go back to listening now.
Even if Russia somehow collapsed, occupying it or even "taming" a population as nationalistic as Russians seems pretty impossible. We make a lot of comments about Russia's shrinking population but it is still the largest population in Europe with a large diaspora spread over a vast area. The amount of manpower required to occupy a non-acquiescing population of that size would be enormous.
In the order of joining NATO:
If he has been in a similar situation before, it would be interesting to know what his reaction was. He does Judo, so maybe he will give up, to reset the situation, like tapping out and going another round. Hard to imagine Putin giving up, though.
I'm no weapons expert but WION (India News) said a Vacuum Bomb (prohibited by Geneva Convention) has been used and cluster bombs, so you may be right.
How would Putin ever justify killing civilians to his own people? Sure, razing cities to the ground is possible and would “win” him the war, but extremely hard to justify internally in my opinion.
My point was, in an authoritarian society like Russia, they don't have to frame you they can fix you.
Exactly, this was sold to the Russian people as a peace keeping operation. Quite a peace keeping operation if Kyiv looks like Stalingrad circa 1943 after it and Russian casualties are in the tens of thousands. It really looks like Putin could get a Pyrrhic victory at best.
Those dots on the second map are not all bases. There are no NATO bases in Finland or Sweden for example, liaison offices or something like that maybe. The dot on sea between Finland and Sweden makes zero sense, perhaps it should be lower on Åland island..? The whole map looks quite sketchy.."Yearly expansion" is a sarcastic remark.
Let's look at this:
For every country that joins NATO, US will move their military equipment in, with rockets to launch into Russia from.
Now, look at the above map and compare it with the map below, which shows the number of US bases in NATO countries:
Crazy? HELL YEAH! This is INSANE!
Making use of Europe to launch strikes into Russia, and if Russia hits back, these European countries will be sacrificial offerings, while US soil remains intact!
