NATO is flirting with war and extinction. France is now “officially” sending troops to Ukraine (they have been there for some time) and NATO countries are demanding strikes deep inside Russia.
Meanwhile, the US has secretly made a “policy shift” that somewhat falls short of what Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wanted but opens the door to deep strikes by the US on Russian territory.

I’ve been coming here for so long the website’s been like family and I’d hate to lose it, but the ones you speak of sure do take the joy out of giving to FR!
They make me feel something very different now than the joy of donating that I used to feel and it’s not a charitable feeling.
Well in the lastest report from Military Summary Channel, they mentioned that a gathering of 100 NATO Instructors were killed with one of their fast mover missiles. NATO has to appreciate the irony of sending missile teams to kill Russians and the Russians using missiles to kill them. It is not lost on me.
“NATO flirting with war and extinction in Ukraine”
At the end of this stupid war one thing will be true: Russia, Russian soldiers, Russian citizens, Russian language, and Russian culture in Ukraine will all be extinct.
“The Soviet Union is dead.”
Not quite.
Putin brought back the Soviet national anthem, the Soviet naval banner flies on Soviet ships, the red star is on every Soviet aircraft, the hammer and sickle emblem is being installed on NEW Soviet buildings, the Soviet flag flies all over, the state television keeps demanding the restoration of the Soviet empire.
The Soviet Union never died, it just took a nap.
“Russia has the ability to blast Ukrainian front lines into smithereens by the kilometer using artillery and glide bombs”
Russia doesn’t have the economy to sustain a prolonged war. It has a GDP similar to Canada’s or Italy’s.

It can be The Soviet Union without it necessarily being Communist.
A “Soviet” is simply the name of a council.
That is a better outcome than WW3. I’m not worried about that at all. There’s severe issues in north America that are game changing drastic.
We're attempting the same thing in Georgia right now because the foreign agent act was passed in low.
We used to meddle in other countries to free them from communism and other forms of tyranny. Now, we use them so the globalist elite, the political class and defense industry can make $$$.
“A “Soviet” is simply the name of a council.”
No, it is much more than that. It is also a metaphor that has broad meaning and broad emotional impact.
Saying that “Soviet” is merely a reference to a council is the exact same thing as saying that “Third Reich” merely describes the third national government of Germany.
“Soviet” is a word that for many people in this world is synonymous with evil. Like smallpox it is something that decent people should hunt down and annihilate wherever it exists.
Point being, is that it’s about power, not ideology. Putin is not a Communist.
Also the Soviet Union’s geopolitical goals were no different than that of the Czars.
“Also the Soviet Union’s geopolitical goals were no different than that of the Czars.”
Including Czar Putin.
And Stalin’s hero and role model was Ivan the Terrible.
The main difference and not an insignificant difference was the financing and military support of other country communist\socialist parties and ideology. The Czars did not care how other countries functioned as long as they weren’t a threat to Russa.

As long as those Parties didn’t threaten Russias domination. Lots of other countries’ Communists parties were purged by Stalin. In fact, the last thing Stalin wanted was the Communists to win in Germany, because they would have threatened Moscow’s dominance of the Comintern. Stalin handed over lists of German Communists to Hitler, so the Nazis could take care of them.
Look, I understand why you are agitated. Your homoerotic dreams of the conquest of Russia are not coming to fruition. Embrace the suck and admit to the fact that you were wrong, incredibly naive and stupid.
Now go play with your blowup Zelensky doll.
“And Stalin’s hero and role model was Ivan the Terrible.”
Stalin is Putin’s hero.
Yes that’s right he did that. He wanted international communist parties he could control, not independent ones. Moscow was still cutting checks to the US CP up until the USSR fell.
