This is always true, and yet dictators have existed since the dawn of humanity. I don't know why people expect Russians to function like a hivemind, rather than humans that disagree and have instincts for self preservation

It's especially funny because when pressed on war crimes committed by their governments with their tax dollars, they will day "well listen it's not my fault our army did that, I'm not in charge! There's nothing I ca

The army has bullets stockpiled. If Russians refuses to run any factories starting today the war would still be on. It's not hard to find arms if you have money-- which Putin has

The United States would also face huge shortages and other problems if they couldn't trade with China. China also realizes that too-- it's a two way street. Globalization makes everyone vulnerable

I find sleep masks help me to get the full 8 hours. Without being able to sense light, I guess my body assumes it should still be asleep and I usually don't wake up early. It doesn't work every time, but it works often enough for

I disagree. There are highly respected political scientists that disagree such as John Mearsheimer of University of Chicago. Here's an article from the New Yorker; https://www.newyorker.com/news/q-and-a/why-j

Sure.. but I don't know why capitulation isn't an option-- again if the chief concern is nuclear war then why should we resist to the precipice of a world war? That's the puzzle piece that doesn't fit-- how we're ma

Yes that's my point, that is capitulation to Russia for us. To not get involved.

Independent news sources are rare in Russia, especially with the recent law making "misinformation" a jailable offense with up to 15 years jail time. I'm not saying there isn't any other news sources, but it legitimately

Whether or not it's half, whether or not they really believed every word.. a majority still supported Trump such that he was elected president of the United States. How much his supporters actually believe is irrelevant at that point

Do we know this move is by the Russian regime? Contrast that with, say, Anonymous taking down government websites. It's engaging in cyber warfare as well, but that doesn't reflect on the military so much as the American public

Unfortunately that also removes the possibility of using American media such as Disney as a cultural weapon. IMO it's further splitting the two worlds and making it only more likely to end in animosity

I don't know how people keep missing this. It's especially ironic, considering we just came from 4 years of hearing "I hate Trump he's not my president I wish we could kick him out but my voice is too small".

That's the hope, but it also feels a lot like Germany after WWI. Sometimes cutting countries off from your sphere of influence and being overly harsh just ends up radicalizing people more. It's strange to me how little discussion
