RE: Reality Interrupts Fantasies...NATO and Kyiv remix4 May 2024 07:07
Razza, do you realize that countries live a long time, whilst human beings do not? russ1a will be penalized for decades whatever the outcome of the war, unless it's next leader (and there will be one eventually) has a different view on the world. What the current leadership has done has made the nation an outcast, they have turned the clock back to the cold war, have lost support and customers for their products (in some cases forever) and countries now place embargos on exports to russia making the citizens much poorer. It has done that whilst also killing hundreds of thousands of loyal (though misinformed) Russians and Ukrainians who were in effect cousins. Eventually the truth, whatever stooges like you may say, will come out, you know that.
This is not the end, whatever the present outcome, Ukraine will join the E.U. and become a far stronger nation, yet more countries will join NATO, and all will up their defense spending. Any adult can see that the present leadership has done great harm to Russia and her peoples, the present actions of causing chaos with support for far right parties across the globe (as with Russian support of tRump) will be short term as it was when East Germany was annexed, to think otherwise is quite childish. Wave your flag all you like, it is soaked in he blood of families of both nations, what sort of person ignores that in the cause of jingoism? Just a very sad and deluded one.
