People do not read what you write. Then you need to move on, and find different people. Yes -- I know it's tough. The landscape out there is quite bleak, in fact. But these places, and these people do exist.

That's russophobic fiction. Ah, I see where this exchange is going. He held off While the Russians didn't. That's the key distinction between the two sides.

Kherson was left as it was right before the retreat just like other cities and towns. Only because they were routed (and the whole front in that region collapsed, basically) so quickly that they didn't have time to roll out the usual

Bills like 5670-d that effectively made the Russian language illegal in most aspects of public life. Nope, that's not what it does. It really not helpful to post opinion-piece fodder like this -- which you obviously haven't mad

So ... again, you're splitting hairs here. And then some. Official "invitations" to the first round countries (PL, CZ, SK, HU) were issued around 1997 -- but that's the last step in the process. Official "talks&qu

Russia and NATO signed a treaty greenlighting NATO enlargement before any official talks with Warsaw Pact countries started. Which can't possibly be the CFE - so which treaty (and which specific provisions of that treaty) are you ref

That's what Yud wants you to believe, of course. Whether you dance along with his shtick is up to you.

It's the general case that I was (very obviously) referring to. Not outliers / clickbaiters like Yud.

Mmm -- my sense is that you're also "arranging scraps" here to get them to line up and support the narrative that you like. By my reading, Gorbachev's later statement -- "definitely a violation of the spirit of th

Soviet leadership, including Gorbachev himself, have explicitly denied that any assurances existed. As regards Gorbachev -- what did he say actually, and when? And why would he say the exact opposite in his RBTH interview in 2014? (Grant

The matter is murky in the details, but it certainly isn't a "conspiracy theory". Not surprisingly -- different participants have different recollections of what was said, and in what context. As a counterpart to the above,

How is 8 years not "nearly a decade"? By invoking the number "10", subtracted from 2022 -- you're making an allusion to Russia's claims that it was significantly threatened by Ukraine's buildup or NATO m

The language in your post (particularly where you say "over a decade") misleadingly suggests that there was significant buildup pre-2014. And that poor, frightened Russia has just reacting the way any country would, in response t

The U.S. is perfectly nasty to immigrants coming from the "wrong" countries, especially Mexico and Central America. However the situations which they are fleeing from are even worse.

They haven’t even tested one in over 80 years. This is bonkers of course. The idea that Russia will launch a single nuke is fantasy Not at all, unfortunately. It has always been and remains a significant card for them to play.
