Really? The russians themselves don't know that they admit it.

Some ukrainian "patriots" with their narrow-minded ideas don't realize that in this case Ukraine will die much faster. But good news is that it's impossible to squeeze Russia into a corner at all.

Don't forget, there are international laws, there is UN etc.. And all the world know very well what particular country broke these laws very often with some plausible pretext totally ignoring the UN. I don't think that some other state will/can do the same if this self-appointed "world policeman" get retired.

America is the great country, with probably the most nice people in the world. I really love America too. But the US foreign policy is a crime, mostly. It is bloodthirstiness, impudence, lies, double standards and hypocrisy, all mixed and shaked in one bottle.

That's what I love about all those free trade "economists" who calculate the cost of a trip without including flying back. Expense out the cost of having to defend against China and lets see how much it costs. Then we keep the Persian Gulf et al open so Japan can have cheap fuel to complete with our auto industry and so on.

Well, when you start wars and lose and get occupied...your business becomes our business.

And don't try to compare today's Germany to the 1930's.
