steinrokkan posted:Hopefully you are wrong about parallels with Afghanistan, since the Soviets didn't lose Afghanistan because the guerillas fought so well, or because of a supposed Stinger effect (which is mostly a myth), but because the cost of depopulating most of the country was too much. I mean, one loving hopes the cost of even attempting to depopulate Ukraine is too much for Putin to make a go at it.

Koos Group posted:The events today reminded me of an idea I had, so I'd like to propose that to the thread now. EE posters have previously complained to me that international posters without as much knowledge of the region sometimes come into the thread and start discussions that are not very interesting to those who live there. On a purely selfish not, I appreciate this thread because it's a bunch of Eastern European posters talking amongst themselves in English instead of Czech, Polish, Ukrainian, or whatever the non-English lingua franca for these sorts of discussions normally is. As a dumb monolingual American, I appreciate this. The problems with this thread are generally the result of a few problem posters who spray conspiracy nonsense in a way that's just coherent enough to pass muster under the "you have to be interesting and post evidence of your position" rules, which in general I think are very good.

Koos Group posted:Well, there is one problem poster who I'm very close to forumbanning, and threadbans/forumbans are always on the table for anyone who's a long-term net-negative to discussion. That's good to know. I genuinely think bringing in someone who isn't a D&D regular to try and sort things out is an excellent idea, because one the politics forums' biggest problems is that they're full of people who have been arguing with each other for a decade or more in some cases and their every interaction is drenched in soap opera backstory that matters only to them. There's so many posters with grudges (including me, hell, especially me) that it's practically impossible to moderate consistently from within.

Sinteres posted:Putin knows nothing he can put in Cuba has any strategic value, but I bet even a token force would be used against Biden to say he's a weak foreign policy president, first withdrawing from Afghanistan and then seeing a return of hostile forces off the coast of Florida, which is why Biden can get trapped into responding and putting American hypocrisy on display. Does it actually do Russia any good though? Probably not in any concrete way other than undermining Biden domestically. This would depend entirely on Cuba wanting to be involved in this poo poo. And apart from not hanging up on Putin when he called them, there's no sign they do. It's not like they stand to gain anything by pissing off the US.
