That’s a very emotive post, its equally idiotic.
@carryharry what argument? Im happy to point you to a few podcasts, articles to go along with the several I’ve already posted…is there any remote chance of you reading listening to them?

@glenshane, like all cranks, cannot write in English, because if he did so his views would be pulled apart.
He writes exclusively through the medium of Internetish, Smirkish, Crankish.
Passive aggressiveness, fake whimsy, affectation of knowledge, non sequiturs, obfuscation, outright trolling.
This is a chap who signed up here in February 2018 to pour scorn on a complainant in a rape trial.
He is cut from the same cloth as the apologists for Bloody Sunday.
You don’t understand but again, these are your words.
The “alternative” path they offered up was acquiescing to Russian’s delusions of their greatness and empire. It meant leaving Eastern Europe out in the cold.
Russians had no interest in democracy 20 years ago so we just had to accept that, and all that goes with it.
There isn’t anything interesting about these people. They think of the world how it was in the 1980s, with a twist of Beijing interest.
When did anyone say democracies don’t cause wars? More reaching for something of substance but coming up with nothing. You have made a direct comparison to Russia to the Weimar Republic and autocratic despots.
Please just stop regurgitating the talking points of political scientists who only give a fuck about great powers. Do you honestly for a second here think that Eastern European countries would have sat on their holes and let things lie if we had just listened to all those smarty pants who had a grand plan 20 years ago? Have you listened to any podcasts with people from Warsaw etc on the matter?

So called “Great Power politics” and so called “realism” should just be called what it is.
Apologism for Russian imperial barbarity.
Racism.
Good article, 30 years too late but good all the same. @carryharry could you share your sunday times subscription with the forum? Before everyone starts clutching their handbags he’s talking about talking to THE russians rather than a particular russian…preferably post putin. He makesbthat clear, still taking a massive risk of receiving a cross (but incomprehensible) letter signed @Tim_Riggins from Tunbridge Wells
Does it mention the Weimar Republic? Still waiting for you to tie that bow.
For all the talk of fuel, this could be pretty goddam serious
You’d want your head examined to be eating bread in this day and age.

This is hilariously stupid, holy shit. NATO would blow the Russian army back to the stone age…their technology isn’t far off that old anyway.
