I really have trouble here understanding why SOME PEOPLE will not join the DNC, Soros, WEF, and the Neocons in claiming that Russia is the center of all evil and Ukraine is as pure as the wind driven snow. Pathetic.

One the consummate land power base upon a slave based agricultural society and one the consummate sea-power based upon a far flung trading empire. And the sea power destroyed itself because it’s appetite got too big, ventured all on an irrelevant effort to conquer Syracuse, lost it’s fleet and was subsequently destroyed by the land power.

"...The history of Western man is the history of war..."
There, fixed it.
Silly humans...doomed to extinction.

This has so many falsehoods it’s staggering. Can anyone find a single instance of someone saying the USSR, or Russia in general was efficient? Did this writer graduate 5th grade?

I am sure their are Freepers ready to lavish praise on this.

Make sure you note how you approve the part where he says Christianity is not a real religion, it's just a Jewish conspiracy to impose their ideas on the West. That's what this writer says.

His tortured analogy doesn’t work. All of history is not a parallel to the Peloponnesian War. This person read one article and now they think their a genius, even though he’s a dunce.

Western pundits speak of them only in terms of their martial ability. You will note that Athens is always cast as the good guys because of democracy. The Spartans are the bad guys, despite the respect for their martial virtues.

This another example of how uneducated this person is. Who in the world is claiming Russia is known for their martial ability? Quite the opposite. Anyone, with even a minimal knowledge of history knows Russia is famous for it's martial ineptitude. Russia's main martial innovation was relying on their climate.

All the points will be moot went we are slaves to one side.. or slaves to the other side. Or all atom ash

The two thing are lacking wisdom and integrity

We don’t expect it from Putin.. but we did from our side.. but the don’t.. this was Predicted for 30 years if the nato kept expanding.. can someone please tell me when they plan to stop expanding?.. the war hawks seem to believe it there Manifest destiny to expand from sea to shining sea
