“We expect a massive toughening of the stance towards Russia,” a high-ranking western diplomat in Washington told the FT. “There is a hatred for Russia amongst [Biden’s team] that is really amazing. It’s not just rational; it’s also very emotional.”

I thought we got rid of all you disgusting neocons on FR.

And to think there’s one still around that hasn’t got past “Putin shaming”.

Like a silly 12 year old girl, mad at her best friend for eating lunch with her rival.

[“WWI was a matter of deciding whether we wanted to become a German state. Ditto for WWII.”

Ludicrous.]


Britain and France were status quo powers. Germany, not so much. And then there was this:

The thing that isolationists miss about Switzerland is that it survives only because the powers that prevailed were not interested in annexing it. If Napoleon or Hitler had won, Switzerland would be part of their respective empires.

Germany never had the power to conquer the US.

They didn’t do power projection via sea power. Therefore were never a threat to us.

Not in single digit years, sure. But the trick is to stop them before they obtain insurmountable resource and population advantages. Which the conquest of Europe and Russia would have given them. They would have consolidated, and moved on to their next objective. The thing about military conflicts is that outcomes can be decided decades before wars are actually fought.

I’m disgusting Putin, is helping Islamist fascist Iran with obtaining long range ICBMS capable of striking the Europe/the U.S. yet I’m disgusting? Yeah okay Kyle.
And don’t deny it either Marnier I know your class A Russian propaganda shill propagandist but you even can’t deny Communist Russian influence on Iran.
Same with Islamic fascist terrorist Jihadists they’re paying Assad Al Qaeda Syrian opposition fighters, in fighting in Libya with Assad’s very own money via Russian mercenary company while also backing Sunnis same in Syria too.
Are you going to that deny too?

If standing up against Communist Russia global expansionist dominance/governance together with Red China,Iran, North Korea, Cuba, Venezuela, Islamist terrorist Jihadists that sees the very destruction of the United states of America our freedoms eroded and us enslaved a disgusting Neocon? then I stand guilty.

Better dead than red

What does it matter Putin’s part in ending the conflict? The U.S. and France were also involved and they worked with Russia to get the peace negotiations going to halt the fighting. Natural gas pipelines in Azerbaijan that carry natural gas and oil to Europe were in jeopardy with the conflict. I would think that Putin had a concern for that situation. However, that was then. Now Putin has health problems and that will change the dynamics between the Biden Administration and Russia. Biden had better tread carefully with the new regime that he does not know.

Assuming he gets in.

But yes, adding Ukraine and Georgia to NATO would be like Russia basing missiles in Niagara Falls.

Why piss them off, especially when we didn’t do jack when the Russian PEOPLE needed our help after the fall of their version of communism?
