I would be interested to hear your non-editorialized argument without the symbolism. YouTube is a precursor to TikTok and for the most part offers the same functionality (organizing and distributing media to billions of people). YouTube has

There's a term for that type of thinking: "crab mentality". It's named after the behavior of crabs when they are placed in a bucket. When a crab tries to escape, the other crabs notice and begin pulling the escaping crab

This is a great question that id like to discover the truth of. My guess is because Russia is not, and never has been a democratic country, and perhaps there are many nuanced conflicts regarding that difference that im not educated enough t

The 1979 version of the film is really good. The actors and director nailed the suspense (both the immediate and far off). I unfortunately lost my copy of the film. If anyone knows This scene gives me goosebumps every time I watch it: http

I've been seeing the word "propaganda" thrown around a lot lately. It's been bothering me how quickly people stop seeking the full picture when they start using that word. That is a really vulnerable position to place yo

Just my 2 cent crystal ball. Perhaps people want a more authoritarian world (without realizing it). The ratio of static to noise has been increasing year by year. People don't want to take (nor have) the time to balance alternate view

I agree the situation has changed. I think it’s fair to say his summary of the situation was correct in 2015+, and that the underlying facts and desires of all countries involved have not notably changed in 8 years, other than Russia invadi

You must see global leaders as a weighted average of their policies, and then place them on a spectrum. As an example, Hitler is more evil than Putin; enough so that there's a large, visible gap between the two. >he doesn't des

IMO, what the West has done is shown an incredible display of power, killing multiple birds with one stone: 1.) Attempt to prevent Russia from accessing new found gas/oil reserves. [3] 2.) Continue to press Russia into a corner as the

John Mearsheimer was working with the facts he had available at the time, clearly. You even hint at that yourself. Seven years is a long time for change in a dynamic environment. One thing I am aware of: - Ukraine sealed the canal that deli

In addition to the other response you've received, NATO is the US, for all intents and purposes. If you watch the video I linked, you'll see that most (all?) countries Russia has invaded in the past was because of NATO involvement

Professor John Mearsheimer (a distinguished professor of political science) gave an inciteful talk regarding these events after Russia first invaded Ukraine in 2014[1]. He places the blame squarely on the US for these events. The US would r

Good intentions, terrible execution (if implemented). This is communism for social currency. In fact, I'll wager this will develop and become _the_ modern form of communism in the next decade or two (in the US/West), provided the

Is it? I didn't want to blame the whole of Russia when Putin has more authoritative powers over the countries decisions, quite unlike the US. I'll fix it regardless since this is a nuanced difference.
