I think you trying to pretend that anyone is talking about a non-existent general war is ridiculous as wellThere are comments right on this thread about the Russians driving to Lisbon.
The Yalta borders have become unstable. They will become more so. If these matters are not taken in hand, general war will be the result, at least if history is any guide.
How many Americans can discuss this image, and what it means:

Russia is engaged in a war of conquest that you seem to be defending, but NATO is not talking about fighting them.
We are merely talking about trying to get Russia to stay in it’s borders and stop this seeking of war and conquest.

Re your post #69, I still have some friends and relatives who are holding on to that dream (Greater Hungary).
So yep, some Americans can relate to that image.
Oh, and one more thing. When I say “holding on to that dream”, I mean with either nostalgia, or with anger. There’s not much happiness in that dream.

I can't read Hungarian, but the striped area represents the Hungarian half of the Austro-Hungarian Empire from 1867 to 1918. The thin sliver just west of present-day Hungary was historically part of Hungary but the people voted to be part of Austria since most were German-speaking. There are some Hungarians in the present-day Slovakia and in Vojvodina (part of Serbia) and Transylvania, but the Slovaks, Croats, Serbs and Romanians in those areas have no reason to want a revival of the Kingdom of Hungary.
To be sure, the Hungarians have ample reasons to resist Russian expansion--memories of 1849, 1945, and 1956.

Pure guess: Hungarians want a return to their old national/cultural borders and the best way to do that is settle down with a nice girl from the old country and get busy!
How man points did I score? :-)
