NATO expansion in northern Europe - great news for Poland

There should only be 3 or 4 countries in the world - like in George Orwell's 1984.

We keep Africa neutral, and that's where we all meet to bash each other's brains in.

What else should the US consider?

People like you would advise us to be weak and defenceless. Then the Russians would never attack us, right? Right?

You don't discourage a bully by being weak. That's not how that works. Si vis pacem, para bellum.

Nobody is weak and feckless as Joe Biden. He created the conditions for the 2 wars we are witnessing right now and he keeps bumbling and bumbling everyday.

I was just watching JFK Jr (I) and if he gets elected President he would not give Ukraine on more penny of the US taxpayers money. He stated this is a war of choice and could be easily settled. He also will immediately shut down our border on his first day and start building the wall again.


Im a registered Independent and JFK may be worth taking a look at.. All he needs is 34% of the vote to win. Anyone would be better than the demented Biden.

As Sweden's in, Finland's sure to follow.

So he wants to surrender..... no.

I think that would be a massive mistake,because if Ukraine lose this war it will embolden Putin to go for more invasions and the Baltic states are prime targets.

That would be WW3.
Do you really think the USA would not be sucked into that?
No.Better to solve the "Russia Problem" now in Ukraine rather than let it fester......

He's making the classic mistake of assuming putain is a rational actor.... he's not. A rational actor wouldn't have started the war or would have taken an available off ramp a lot earlier.

He's a crazy ideologue who wants to take over most of Europe and most republicans are cowards who are fine with that.....

Historically, deals never worked with Russia. Being friendly also didn't worked. Russia made the unique military alliance in the human history to only attack its own members due their internal decisions.

Russia is literally the 15 felony niger next door who keeps crying about racism every time someone calls the cops.

And stupendous idiots talk about 'negotiated peace' when russia publicly says it would just use a peace deal to rearm and attack again....


Never be nice from a place of strength to a narcissist.... it just enrages them.


russia is the 15 felony burglar next door who tries to make you feel guilty for installing an alarm

What about the Moscow Peace Treaty signed after the Finnish-Soviet War in 1940?

They received such beatings from the Finns that they had no choice but to stick to this treaty.

Just preempting installation of locks on the doors this time.

Agreed 100%


Of course not, Russia is completely untrustworthy.


That is true.......

Just the opposite...Be strong, be brave, and kick ass all you want...on your own.


1. The Baltics were part of the USSR for decades and the US was fine with it.
2. Russia had the Baltics and gave them up as useless. Getting them back would serve no purpose.
3. Russia will not go for the Baltics because Europe has two nuclear powers, money, and armies.


There you go...

So no fear that Russia would attack Finns, Swedes, Danes, Norwegians, Brits, Irish, France, Germany, Poland, Belgium, Netherlands, Lichtenstein, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Greece, Albania, Andora, and Monaco.

The US would be very happy to advise you on how to make your armies LGBT-friendly to improve the morale of your troops.

Or they were happy with the lands that Finland had to give up, as they regarded them as historically russian.

Who cares what those losers think?

Medvedev's definition of the russian world was Lisbon to Vladivostok.... russians are unhinged dangerous psychos.

If those losers are at the gates of Kiev in 12 months, (without negotiations) would they still be losers or would have they outsmarted, outplayed and outballed the collective west?


The drunkard is just mangling Gorbachev's words which reffered to a shared european home ie idealistic/foolish vision.

no they just corrupted the republican party (at least michael johnson) at a critical juncture.... (and western europe has been mostly useless still hoping for rationality to win out)


The one time that russians tell the truth is when they talk about their territorial ambitions and foolish rational westerners refuse to believe it because it's nuts....

Medvedev's just trolling you on twitter after a bottle of vodka and you take his gibberish as the gospel. Who's the foolish one? As you well know he has no power, his position as deputy of the NSC was created for him and is purely symbolic. I pity the poor fools lost in the synthetic social media swamp, endlessly scrolling for hours for another nugget, their mind hacked and reprogrammed by the algorithm. Your attention span must be shot to pieces by now, how about posting some long form analysis for a change?

Do you have a NAFO hashtag and a customised Shiba Inu dog avatar on your twitter profile by any chance?

No... he says crazy stuff to stay alive. A major internal worry of those at the top of the current russian system is that the West will support one. So Medvedev (as former president or prime minister or whatever the h3ll) has to make sure that his public image is that of an unstable character the West would never reach out to.

But the specific nature of the crazy things he says are absolutely in line with russian state media which also talks about such things. Posters saying "Alaska nasha" (Alaska is ours) might seem crazy to rational people but russians take it deadly seriously.....

That would be worst possible solution, not only would it halt progress, it would slow down or halt efficiency at local level. Corruption would increase cause decision making would be made in an area that has no clue about local conditions and people will prefer to pay money under the table instead of waiting for a long waited rejection.

Also much needed reforms will be blocked by power hungry leadership that will have access to larger armies then ever before, just not used against other states. Cause the only states left will have nuclear weapons

It will slowly dissolve over time and pop up like Austria-Hungary with too many unknown factors to be sure wether or not globe won't be blown up

You would want Poland to remain without NATO. And then if Russia invaded Poland you would say "Oh well, sorry guys we underestimated Russian threat"

Poland joined NATO and is not being invaded by Russia. Ukraine did not join NATO and is being invaded by Russia right now. If Poland did not join NATO, Russia would have been invading Poland right now...

And if it wasn't for NATO, Baltic States would have probably fallen victim to the invasion already. After all, without their allies they'd be a much easier prey than Ukraine.


Russia invaded dozens of countries, Russia invaded even its own allies.

No.

I want the US to become NATO-free since NATO is a US parasite the US needs like I need another prostate cancer. Useless, expensive to deal with, and can kill you...


Americans don't give a fvck about the Baltic States - including those few who can find them on the map.

We didn't when they used to be Soviet republics...and the sun was rising in the morning...day after day...


Russia invades buffer zones that are critical to Russia's existence. The US invades places thousands of miles away to justify NATO and a 1 trillion dollar "defense" budget - a taxpayer ripoff that has nothing to do with US security.

So we should be much more thankful, without the USA we in West Europe would be in deep, deep sh*it and Ukraine wouldnt even be fighting any more.


But there is no longer any Russian sphere of influence outside of Belarus. Losers cant maintain its colonies and sphere of influence and Russia lost cold war and its former territories now hate Russia.

The US was fine with it?

Who cares what the US thinks?

The US is still a very powerful state, but you overestimate it's importance.

Bollox!!


Absolutely.

Russia invades buffer zones that are critical to Russia's existence. The US invades places thousands of miles away to justify NATO and a 1 trillion dollar "defense" budget - a taxpayer ripoff that has nothing to do with US security.


That's your problem. If that's the case, you should pay the US for being your cops and bodyguards. What would be a fair annual fee?

Without the US, that war would last a month, and 500,000 Ukrainians would be alive today.


Americans don't give a fvck about America or they would be demonstrating in front of the Out House every single weekend to close the damn border.

They would rather watch sports.

You must be Polish or a woman...

There is not such thing as love, hate, or friendship among countries. Only common interests.

Germany was buying gas from a country that lost 27 million people because Germany decided that the Soviets were lesser people who should be killed.
