[Constantine XI Palaeologus]

Don’t see anything wrong with this. It’s nice to see a country showing some nationalistic pride. However, if they want to remain a global power and regain their former lofty status, they’re going to have to start making babies and getting their act together. Right now, they are risking becoming what France was/is—a has been which still thinks it wields influence.

1) Quite agree with you 2) It’s strange to see that so many people regard the recent Russian military build-up as a threat. After 15 years of neglect the Russian military needs some build-up, no any other reason needed.

Obviously you enjoy the prospect of Americans once again having to be concerned about our fighting men and women having to face the Russians by proxy.

I fear this will have an outcome that Americans will not like.
