BTW chief..I dont worry about them getting into a battle with the CCP.

But as you know, they have been looking for a conflict with Russia for over 12 years now.

We got a good friend who is stuck in Poland. She has had the woohu flu and needs to jump through all the hoops to get back. She has a son and daughter and their family there.
You think we are worried? HA!

Sorry, typo on my part, make it 1900. Don Cossacks isn’t an ethnicity, they don’t have any specific dialect. Ukrainian itself is essentially a dialect of Southern Russian with some Polonisms included.

Or, they could simply tell Russia that they will be TOTALLY cut off from the world economically if they continue with this hogwash. But then Brandon and Germany will need to revisit allowing that stupid pipeline.

Woulda colulda shouldas are going to be the death of this country.

We spend more time blaming each other.

What we should be doing is pointing out to our liberal friends at trillions spent on stupid, and completely avoidable wars is going to impact their agenda as well.

What is going to be interesting is to see the reaction of social media when the first real shooting war-invasion of one superpower in a proxy war with another superpower starts. The pictures and video are going to be ghastly.

People are going to react. And that reaction will be visceral. And it will happen in real time.

My perception is that the current US government is taking direction from the Chinese Communist Party. Our political elites seem to admire their system and want to discard the traditional American system. It's all about who has power over the people and what limitations can be imposed on that power.

However, there appears to be a major self-destruction theme in all Western societies which goes far beyond the subversive efforts of any national group.

The Chinese and the Russians make great external foes on which we can blame all our problems, but the rot is within our own culture. This isn't new and isn't unique to us. Every culture contains the seeds of its own self-destruction.

I am unsure how this tendency can be controlled. People a lot smarter and wiser than I have been working on this for millennia. We are yet another experiment in the process.

Biden is merely the puppet for a Cabal that is calling the shots. If he can't keep up appearances, they will replace him in a heartbeat with someone more presentable. It's an awkward, but solvable problem.

The military will take orders from a civilian government. It is what they are organized and trained to do, and they really cannot do otherwise. Even if those orders result in the destruction of the military, they will obey them.

The current government does not actually need or want a capable military force, which could be a dangerous rival under some conditions. What they need is a force that can operate a system of concentration camps into which they can place their opposition. That does not have to be a military force.

What the current government must have is a national police force that can enforce their orders. They are not there yet and may never get there before things break down. It is a race against time and deterioration.

Yes... and I have a pretty good guess as who might be available to step into action in an "emergency", with Brandon and a most inconvenient VP conveniently out of the way...

Think not? Can you say lockdown?

This is going to blow your mind. 1910 US Census Mother Tongue:

-Russian (95,137)
-Ruthenian/Little Russian (35,359)

https://www2.census.gov/library/publications/decennial/1910/volume-1/volume-1-p13.pdf

Separate languages even then.

For the Don Cossacks:

“As proof of the existence of the Cossack language, Bubleyev gave an example: in 1812, according to him, Kutuzov demanded to send an interpreter to interact with the Cossack units in the provinces, because he simply did not understand them.”

Yep. They’re sitting in deep water in the Mariana Trench. They have a delay order to launch to match the B52 strike timeframe.

This will strengthen the ties between Russia and China. Pretty sure China will be working behind the scenes to support Russia.

Where is the word “Ukrainian”? All these stories regarding Ukraine are a weird application of critical race theory.

Ukrainians in English were then known as Ruthenians. Are you next going to claim there were no Muslims in 1900, because we called them Mohammedans?

Also, I must say it has been fun watching your arguments crumble one by one as you are forced to constantly retreat from your earlier claims.

Don’t feel too embarrassed. The Russian education system works hard to misinform on these subjects, so it’s not your fault that so many of these facts are new to you.

No, in the 10-14th centuries Hungarians called Eastern Slavs like this. It is originally a bastardized word for the Russians based on the misspelling. The term existed until 16th century and was used for Russia and Russians in Latin texts and then disappeared. It was also used by Germans for Baltic Christians until about that time.
It was resurfaced in the 19th century by Austro-Hungary to rally the West Ukrainians against the Russians as if they are different.

Would you point at actual inconsistency? You educational system doesn’t work at all on this subject, just relaying political propaganda.
