Do not trust in hope- it will betray you! Only faith and hatred sustain.

This is not an appropriate comparison for any number of reasons, but chiefly as the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact was an impromptu affair that both parties considered to be a short-term expedient which sooner or later one or both would break. Stalin and Hitler both considered mutual coexistence impossible, in Hitler's case because that's who he was, and in Stalin's because he'd read Mein Kampf and considered that when Hitler wrote in it "my chief goal in life is to roll Eastward and carve out a settle empire from the corpses of the filthy subhumans living there and also to be clear I don't just mean Poland here," he wasn't just joking around. The pact itself came about because Hitler needed to secure his eastern flank in case the Western Allies decided to get off their asses and do something when he invaded Poland (which he figured they wouldn't), and Stalin needed to buy time to finish the reforms of the Red Army which he'd started earlier in the 30s after the purges (and also wanted an excuse to snatch up the Baltic states, a chance for which the pact afforded). The current state of affairs in eastern Europe does not mirror either that of the USSR and Third Reich in 1939, nor the geopolitical stage on which the M-R Pact came about.

what a lot of people also don't understand is that putin sounds like obama when he talks about islam to a russian audience. which makes sense because russia has a large muslim population and many allies in central asia.

people who are on the real extreme right (especially in europe) seem to understand putin's position on this better than americans. and while russia is swarming with ultra-nationalists, the police there do not gently caress around and do beat the poo poo out of the ultra-nationalists with sticks when they get out of hand.

alexander dugin has also been elevated in the U.S. press as "putin's rasputin" and so on, although there's no evidence they've ever met. and once dugin got out of hand by agitating for russia to gobble up ukraine entirely, he lost his professor job and was pretty much sidelined.

the cia must be really mad that Russia is doing what they keep trying to do, but much more effectively.

I'm pretty sure everyone's really mad at each other for a staggeringly long and ancient list of reasons. Now the anger, as much as it can be for clandestine agencies, is out in daylight like everything else.

That the far right eastern European hated russia more than minorities was probably true right around til the refugee crisis began. Of course nationalists of all stripes are morons so they will eventually be at each others throats again

I dunno who suggested that the Nazis will drive a wedge with NATO, but Nazis - especially Russophobic Nazis - love NATO. They'll do everything they can to bend over backwards for whatever big ticket piece of crap the United States puts on their soil if it means a chance at killing more Russians. But the Nazis are Eurosceptic, so if they had any real influence it would disrupt Poland's place in the EU.

it was me. i think it can. the arms companies don't care but early on the law and justice party raided a NATO center as part of a purge of sorts and because the defense minister is a fuckballs goombah. and if the neonazis really do take power and get irredentist ideas that would complicate things very greatly. it sounds like a wild scenario but who would've imagined a russian-ukrainian proxy war 10 years ago. NATO has opted not to dump arms into that one.

Their only ideology is consumerism, so for them the only possible form of protest is to boycott a company or destroy property.

It's why so many of Trump's little cuckleheads filmed themselves burbling about the NFL before they burned a bunch of $200 t-shirts.
