    Let’s turn it around again and look at the country so afraid of a mythical NATO invasion that they invaded a neighboring country and created unimaginable tragedy for nothing. If NATO were threatening Russia, what better time than this moment to invade? Russia has proven it’s military to be a bad joke riddled with corruption and incompetence and embroiled itself in a conflict it can’t resolve, meanwhile NATO is bigger and stronger than ever. Where is the invasion Putin feared so much?

    I got a solid public education, then went on to study philosophy and theology in college at a private university. Then I traveled the world and leaned more. I’m in my fifties now and never stopped learning. Assume what you want about me, but by eyes are open and I’m not child.

    I never said Russia wants to take over America BTW. They want influence, and have not been as unsuccessful as I would like in that endeavor. Your reading comprehension is shit and you might want to work on that.

      So you got an sheltered education in the sheltered imperial core at its peak and then used that blood money to go do a sheltered little tour. That doesn’t make you anymore intelligent that a patron of Disneyland.

      You are a child. The first step to learning is realising that you know nothing.

        If you say so, but maybe you would be a little more convincing if you weren’t literally defending Russian imperialism.

          soypoint-1 Literally soypoint-2

          When you’re so propagandized that you believe that Russian imperialism is a thing that exists, and not believing whatever your pathologically lying empire says about its rivals means you must love them. Lead poisoning and cable news doing it’s thing.

          I was 6 for the Iraq War and I even learned from that one, what the fuck is your excuse? 22 years ago you’d be calling people Saddam lovers and burning Dixie Chicks records, you dumb motherfucker.

          I’m not a salesperson trying to convince you of anything. It’s your loss if you choose to remain ignorant.

          Russia is the way it is because of the meddling of the US during the Cold War. I am more than happy to shit on modern Russia but I refuse to empower the propaganda of the US imperial core while doing so.

      Lol holy shit you should have just lied and said you were like 15, everyone already thought so and it would have been so much more understandable to behave this way in the presence of people who actually know what they’re talking about.
