One of the most pro-Kremlin institutions in Washington according to who? Before putting on labels why don't you try reading instead. This outlet often hosts articles from many guest authors who have...

How does it make no sense? The Democrats in Congress aren't Congress, the whole of Congress is. The US has been dragging its feet on Ukraine for a while now, that much is obvious and widely...

@mishkin
This is blasphemy! This is madness!

Indeed. The genuine kind. One that listens to all sides and evaluates for himself, rather than parrot whatever CNN and co tells them. As for you, if you still haven't grasped that mass media in the...

Right, I tire of these games, so we're done here for now. I'll get back to you when you say sth I can be bothered responding to next. Till then.

For anyone not taken in by CNN (and co)...

You are in no position to judge my critical thinking, that's all I'll say to this.

Yes the US did remove Yanukovich, just like the US decided who was going to replace him. Nuland's leaked phone...

You mean after the US instigated an anti-Russian coup that removed a democratically elected president from office? Making it imperative that Russia moves to secure its interests? Also, let's not...

Russia used its military as leverage to get Ukraine to the negotiating table. Ukraine could have respected the Minsk agreements it signed off to in the first place and things likely wouldn't have...

Wild assertions? Didn't the Baltic states recently made rules that would see thousands of elderly Russians deported for doing nothing different than what they've been doing for decades? Yes, it's...

Putin is not wrong. It is a NATO proxy war. Which still is an order of magnitude different from a direct, open war. As for what separates irrational phobia from rational security interests, I suppose...

The idea that Russian "expansion" will not stop at Ukraine is indeed farfetched and it is done to serve certain political interests that primarily benefit the US, via NATO. So much so in fact I...

The US taking a backseat to Europe is just a result of acknowledging how much of a dead end this policy is for the US. The US afterall has far greater interests to chase elsewhere, it's hardly about...

It literally says more than that, but ok sure, whatever makes you happy.

I suppose that in your world it's not only Russophobia that doesn't exist.

irrational fear was not explicitly mentioned, intense and often irrational hatred was. And I have quoted several examples of that in this thread. Of course when it's not convenient I can always trust...

The fact you are calling them "the mongolian horde" tells me all I need to know about where you are coming from and no I'm not mistaking anything. I'm simply using the standard definition that anyone...

A far simpler explanation is that it is a Russophobe that can't spot the Russophobia, as being blind to one's own bias is a well-documented thing. On the other hand people not drenched in it can spot...

Fine, play your games then. But do so on your own.

Once more for good measure and for all to see, here is the post in question:
See if you can spot the Russophobia folks. Hint, if you can't, you...

It seems you don't understand the "not about to start playing games" with you part. If you want to see what in your post is Russophobic then read it. It's not exactly a long post.

Stop being deliberately obtuse, I'm not about to start playing games with you here. As for what I am saying, it is only what I have said, no more no less. Twist and turn as much as you like, try and...

I quoted your russophobic comments before. They exist, they are still present in this thread for all to see, they are a reality. Whatever this nonsense you're typing here is, reflects nothing but...

I did. It turns out Russorealism is simply the Russophobic term for Russophobia.

But by all means folks, keep showing off your Russophobia here, it's good to have it all out in the open.

For sth that supposedly doesn't exist, posts like this sure do a great job exhibiting it.

I don't know about always and I didn't speak about always. I know about coughdrop's comments and I spoke about coughdrop's comments. Your sad attempts to ridicule with overblown generalisations holds...

I'm generally on the same page, but I would point that a need to have the right instructions is in itself "hassle". Minor difference in perspective.

All of them right? including those in Iraq, in Vietnam, in Gaza, in all those places in Africa ravaged by western colonialism. All of them? Yes, when you reduce Russia and Russians to a vile horde...

Linux is great. Unless you are primarily a gamer. Things are certainly better these days, proton in particular has surprised me very positively. But if you play a lot of games and you want it...

It was not a reality? So there wasn't cheap gas coming in from Russia to Europe. So it's a myth that Europe was forced to find more expensive alternatives in a rapid and highly costly manner as the...

Certainly and rather evidently so.

You speak of myths but all that is spin and no more. The myth of cheap Russian gas was a reality up until this war for example. Germany is deindustrialising fast...

The hex system has been around for too long and I always was more fond of the triumvirate style. I thought it was more fitting with the general RTW flavour this forum has been going for. So a change...

I still visit some here and there. Older communities all of them like RPGcodex and NMA. But I have always been more of the lurker type. Including in TWC.

No, that's not the better question. That's not even a question. It's a pathetic deflection followed by a litany of Russophobic nonsense.

As love mountain said, we'd gain nothing and that's (part...

Hm, I guess the prophecies may be proven true afterall. The indolent King Charles will not reign for long and will be soon replaced by the glorious King William who will restore the British Empire to...

I'm pretty sure that unhinged and retarded are words. Inappropriate and inapplicable words in this case, but words nonetheless.

That Putin was interested in having Russia join NATO is hardly a...

@Loyt
Ah, I see. What I say is anecdotes, but your anecdotes are facts (such as Navalny getting bullied in prison which you of course can independently verify). NATO never committed any wrong here...

You are picking and choosing facts/events to create certain impressions, so this comes across as a rather disingenuous comment.


When did Putin praise NATO, or say it's ok if Ukraine joined?...

Has Putin played the numbers game? The propaganda side of the war is ugly but we are, collectively, entertaining it in the west, by accepting Ukraine's propaganda with little scrutiny that is. I mean...

That's being generous?
You are saying the Kremlin doesn't care about the body count, implying that is that the Ukrainian presidency does? The same one that kept throwing bodies at the "strategically...

Well according to CNN, reporting shortly after the fall of the city, Avdiivka, the fortress that was previously described as the dagger at the throat of Donetsk, is of "limited strategic importance"....

You don't feel validated because I refuse to accept your intentionally pejorative wording of my position. And I'm not planning to. Regarding coming with security guarantees, it's not my job to do...

I know what the word means yes, but I also know how it is misrepresented by a lot of people. I don't agree with your observation that I use humanity and realpolitik based on whether it benefits Putin...
