    So you've taken a poll of the population of those countries? Or you are assuming that their governments represent the will of the people?

    • The United Nations General Assembly adopted on Wednesday 2 March a resolution deploring the “aggression” committed by Russia against Ukraine (141 votes in favour, 5 against and 35 abstentions).
    Not exactly à ringing endorsement of Putin.

    Except all your brain power has fled...Reinventing the wheel with security flaws is an expencive "breakthrough" but what ever.
    The sanctions arnt going anywhere, so it's only natural you begin to accept them, this must be the coping stage. Enjoy your knock off brands, I just feel sorry for the children there.
    No Oreos, they got creme betweens.

    The west comprises approximately 15% of the world. The other 85% are not engaged in sanctions and are not part of the west's so-called "International community." McDonalds I believe are now beginning to re-open in Russia. Money, or the loss of it, will always be the biggest incentive.

    With the rat infestation problem Paris has (and refuses to do anything about), you could always resort to rodent BBQ if the cheese and frogs run short. :thumbsup:

    About 20% of the McD's never shut down. Now they are all re-open under a temporary name.

    There is not enough food in the world. All of Africa needs food. Soon Europe will also need food. (no gas - no fertilizer - no food). So don't worry about the Russians.

    Russians do not care about your consent. Russians return their lands. And these are all the republics of the former USSR + Poland + Finland + Alaska. And this is the minimum program. Because there should also be compensation. (As an example - Kaliningrad, Kuriles)

    Try it. Russians are not afraid of war. Putin even said - "we will go to heaven, but the rest will just die"
    However, an open military clash between the United States and Russia is inevitable. This is dictated by the American economy. And nothing depends on our desire. Accept it as a fact of the inevitable.

    Apparently you conducted surveys in these countries. Is that why your statements sound so pathetic?

    I'm not claiming that they do or don't support Putin. You were the one making the claim.

    All i said was that it's sad so many people support Putin. I don't care if it's 1 person or 5 billion, it is still sad.

    But you can be happy for your children. After all, they can now freely change their gender at least every year.

    Given how incompetent they have been in Ukraine...I think Russia is ripe for the taking. I say if things get too rosey over there we either take it or glass the place. We could just declare "nazis"...seems to work on the weak minded.

    How's that sound?

    :)

    Sounds just as ignorant as every time the Poles invaded Russia, the time Napoleon invaded Russia and the time German Nazis invaded Russia. The result was the same....every time.

    Like I said...if it turns sour we could just easily glass the place.

    Make sure we get rid of all them Nazi's.

    I did not intend to criticize Europe or it’s preserved food. We have it here in ‘the colonies’, too!
    In the US “sausage” is pretty much bologna and salami. Cheese comes in a pressurized can. ;) How much more do you need?

    The weak-minded voted for Biden, so it is possible that it works on the weak-minded.

    It begs the question: “Why is Russia such an ****** country?”

    Depends on whether you've ever been there, or whether opinions come from the mass media. 85% of the world aren't jumping up and down having a go at Russia. It's a western thing.

    The loss of my adjective buried my meaning: Why is Russia such a stupid, paranoid, aggressive, economically backward country?

    If Russia is backward, what can we say about the USA? Who buy Russian space engines developed more than 40 years ago, which "advanced" American science cannot do until now.
    Or why can't the "developed" USA make hypersonic weapons? Why can't they service their nuclear power plants without Russatom? The United States cannot even produce the required amount of fertilizer ....
    Or do you consider gay parades, gender reassignment for children and an idiot president as a criterion for development?
    In these matters, the United States is undeniably ahead of the rest.

    NATO will eventually come into a direct confrontation with Russia or China. It’s what they’ve both been preparing for, for the past two decades. Yet not if Russia and China join forces. If you look at a map, Russia and China combined dwarf the west in man-power and size. These small NATO countries in Eastern Europe are useless additions to NATO and are only bases rather than containing any kind of fighting force. It’s Northern Europe and the US v Russia and China played out largely in an Eastern backyard. The result is a foregone conclusion and NATO won't risk it.

    The west is now so socially and economically weak that it could barely survive a few missiles hitting its own soil. The west is not psychologically prepared to take the kind of casulaties a real war of equals would produce. We’re more prepared for a gay pride march than we are a war. In a war against third-world countries we’re unbeatable, but come on, let’s face it, we couldn’t even win in Afghanistan and Syria, never mind against Russia and China.

    You're stating your opinion as though it was a fact, or rather, the opinions of others you got from google.

    I agree with you.
    But ... If you look at the newspaper files of 1914, shortly before the start of the First World War, you will see how the newspapers wrote - war is impossible, economic ties are intertwined, the British own German enterprises, the French own British manufactories, and the Germans own Russian factories .. ..war is a loss for business...etc.
    But we know the result.
    Further. After the First World War, the media also wrote about the impossibility of new wars because millions of people died and this would be the end of humanity ... And they gave their argument - because they invented a machine gun.
    But we know the result.
    Humanity is amazingly stupid. And there's nothing you can do about it. Therefore, everything is possible.
    Although, I repeat - I completely agree with you. Perhaps those who make decisions are afraid of the consequences for themselves personally. For anyone who has a brain understands that after a nuclear war, the living will envy the dead. Perhaps the realization of this fact will be a brake on crazy politicians? Although modern politicians are so stupid that they may well start the process.
