Yeah, dumbass not only wrote and sent the telegram, he admitted it when the Americans called him on it. The USA declared war on Germany about two months later. Between that, and killing Americans with unrestricted submarine warfare, even President Wilson can see which way the wind is blowing, Wilson sucks.

Can't say I blame them when having a significant amount of Russians in your country leads to getting invaded in the name of protecting those Russians

Ukraine has noted that the secondary line is engineered rather than simply trenched, with fortified placements and pre-cast concrete pill boxes. It's not going to be easy and I kinda doubt it will happen this year.

I've said it before, but it bears repeating. If Russia is still acting like Britain is in any way a world power after all the ways in which it has humiliated and degraded (and continues to do so) itself over the last few decades, that is indicative of just how perilous Russia's own position is.

Yeah, in grand scheme the massive failure of Russian foreign policy stems from unwillingness to recognize itself as a regional power, not a superpower
