TheBuilder posted:I'm glad for the United States to rebuff Russia or China at the costs spent so far. This is a fascinating look into the Anglo mentality. Due to religious beliefs in predetermination, dating to pre-modern times, many Anglos, in most Anglo states, simply view whatever the powerful authority does as good and godgiven. It is definitly a necessary cultural component to understand their seemingly irrational beliefs. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

Shelling is fairly normal occurrence in Donbass sadly. Both sides randomily take pot shots at each other with mortars and sometimes 120mm guns. The fact that this is now the headline story on RIA is perhaps telling though.

KillHour posted:Out of curiosity, who would veto Ukraine joining NATO? I feel like the US would jump at the chance to flip Putin the middle finger. If you asked a random person on the street of most NATO countries what they thought, you'd probably get something like "yeah I've heard of NATO in a movie or something I think. Sure why not." Germany and France for starters.

Answers Me posted:Isn’t that… basically true though? (I’m sure my ‘basically’ is doing a fuckton of legwork there, but still) That the borders of the former USSR reflect soviet nationality policy? Yes. But why change it? There are borders in Europe based on Protestant/Catholic divides from 400 years ago, no one wants to "fix them"

Count Roland posted:Since when is Putin anti-communist? Didn't he famously say the collapse of the USSR was one of the great tragedies of history? Because it made Russia weak, not because he loves Lenin. His whole speech today was grounded on the fact that Ukraine was apparently dreamt up by Lenin's stroke addled brain to appease nationalists.

Herstory Begins Now posted:putin does speaks about the soviet era in a sentimental way sometimes (eg the famous 'anyone who doesn't miss the soviet union has no heart, anyone who wants it back has no brain'), but nothing really about his decisions or the power structures or economic decisions he's involved with suggest any favorable sentiment towards communism. Very much the opposite, if anything. I'd say many Russians of his generation who weren't actively dissidents have a similar attitude to the USSR.
