Destroying Russia would decrease entropy radically.You've increased entropy needlessly again.
We may have to do that.

No, I want peace with all neighbors, except current Ukraine. They've talked enough trash that I want to give them a lesson.This isn't difficult. You and I agree that Russia does not want peace with its neighbors.
I'm curious, what is your guess as to how many Russians believe the same? There are many in the west who believe that once Putler dies some day, that Russia will suddenly become peaceful and happy. Secondly, even if the west was willing to turn our backs on Ukraine, and allow the holocaust that you advocate there, why should we believe, that Russia will stop at Ukraine?No, I want peace with all neighbors, except current Ukraine.

I am more radical than most russians. But I am right.I'm curious, what is your guess as to how many Russians believe the same?
Would you feel different if you had kids or grandkids that could be sent to the front?I am more radical than most russians. But I am right.I'm curious, what is your guess as to how many Russians believe the same?
if NATO public supports reaches good level, NATO conducts referendum in the country. Otherwise they simply bribe and coerce parliaments and key people.
I might have "voted" differently but I would still feel the same.Would you feel different if you had kids or grandkids that could be sent to the front?I am more radical than most russians. But I am right.I'm curious, what is your guess as to how many Russians believe the same?
Well, that's what they did in MonteNegro. And go and find the video you claimed to exist.if NATO public supports reaches good level, NATO conducts referendum in the country. Otherwise they simply bribe and coerce parliaments and key people.
That is the most absurd lie I've seen in print this week, and not for lack of competition. The US has gone to war with all of its neighboring nations several times over, seizing what are now some of its wealthiest and most populated territories in a brutal war of conquest against the then newly liberated republic of Mexico, and to this day keeps hundreds of captive and subjugated nations as "reservations" under the watchful eye of the Department of the Interior, as though they were wild animals to manage. While also treating the US-Mexican border, our frontier with what is supposedly now an allied nation, as a heavily militarized zone of a kind most nations would reserve for their most dire enemies. We created an entire branch of government to "control" Mexicans and other Central/South American immigrants, another to "manage" Indians, and three to spy on other enemy nations all around the world and interfere in their affairs. Russia straight up copied our policies and laws as it was establishing the rules of "modern", post-Imperial indigenous policies over its northern reaches. At least the USSR pretended there was a voluntary element to joining their union; the US never bothered with any such pretense in its dealings with other nations.Ponder this: the USA has never attempted to subjugate its neighbors.
No, we did not. Russia invaded neighbours out of necessity (of security)Russia straight up copied our policies
I was referring to the borrowed European of plenary rights over territories bounded by national borders, that continues to set the baseline for Russia's treatment of indigenous peoples within its claimed territories. Although the Soviet construction of indigenous idenitity was much more expansive and liberalized than the American colonial nation-states in a lot of ways (at least before Putin got his hands in the pie and pushed a centralizing narrative that stripped the Republics of much of their former autonomy) still, much like the other European nations the Russian Federation constructed itself in imitation of, the modern state sees indigenous sovereignty as a gift, generously granted by a central government and ultimately rescindable at need, very much imitating the way imperial power was constructed and maintained in the American colonies.No, we did not. Russia invaded neighbours out of necessity (of security)Russia straight up copied our policies
Regarding the current situation, Russia literally did not want Eastern Ukraine in 2014. Putin could have taken it but he did not want to.
MSM does not want to talk about it becasue it does not fit the narrative. Same with Georgia, Russia left it immediately after they surrendered. MSM does not want to talk about it either.
For fuck's sake. For millionth time, Putin knew that Finland was a de-facto NATO country, but sane one at that.So one is left wondering why Russia - more specifically Putin - would do such a stupid thing. IMHO the likely explanation is that Putin was getting cold feet. He's a criminal of the highest order, no different from Hitler, and realized western freedom and accountability was closing in. In his infantile mind he had no better option. And he's willing to kill as many as it takes, including his own countrymen, same as Hitler, to escape accountability.The support of NATO membership shot through the roof after the illegal Russian invasion of Ukraine. The pre-invasion wisdom here was that economic ties would secure peace, but that mode of thinking died the day Russia invaded Ukraine.
He also knew that Ukraine was insane but not that insane to not agree on a good deal with enough persuasion, and they fucking did take that deal. What he did not account for was Elensky stupidity. The guy is fucking stupid and US/US fooled him into believing that he can defeat Russia, become a hero and live happily ever after.
I have to give it to US, nicely played, but in the end Russia will win and US will lose.
WUT?The US has gone to war with all of its neighboring nations several times over,
seizing what are now some of its wealthiest and most populated territories
in a brutal war of conquest against the newly liberated republic of Mexico, and to this day keeps hundreds of captive and subjugated nations as "reservations"
under the watchful eye of the Department of the Interior, as though they were wild animals to manage.

NATO is a post WW2 anti Russian defense part. Based on USSR's behaviour during the cold war.
Any country in Europe that doesn't want to be invaded by Russia is a de-facto NATO country.
That just proves people have a drive for self preservation. Not that they are enemies of Russia
Good job. You sound as if you know what you are talking about.I was referring to the borrowed European of plenary rights over territories bounded by national borders, that continues to set the baseline for Russia's treatment of indigenous peoples within its claimed territories.

So there's no such thing as good and evil?I do not believe that any people are better than others. That would go against my belief in 'Advaita' Hinduism which does not exclude even animals, vegetation or inanimate objects ('All that exists here is Brahman' - Sarvam khalu idam Brahma, so said my book, Mandukya Upanishad).Why? Pootey was going to siege their resources any way he could. They fought back like you would do.
Do you believe Ukranian people are inferior to “your” people? Why would you tell them not to do what you would do?
Like Buddha or my Prime Minister Modi said, the way to peace is talk and not war.
NATO is only a problem for those who wish to conquer. If your intentions are not conquest NATO is a complete non-issue.Ask the Russians or the Chinese.NATO isn't a threat to anyone. It's a defensive alliance only. It's just an impediment to those with an eye for conquest.
The only nation on your list that you could remotely claim to have been attacked by NATO is Libya--and note that that was in response to the Pan Am 103 bombing. He attacked first.Elixir, off-hand I cannot reply, but perhaps the numbers are more or less equal. Remember Cuba, Egypt, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, some in Africa and South America too.How many countries has Russia invaded, annexed or pillaged?
How many countries has NATO invaded, annexed or pillaged, @aupmanyav ?
No, you lost. And the Whitehouse got burned for your trouble.WUT?
Did we win the war against Canada?
YouTube is not a remotely credible source of such information.In some paper article I saw commented on youtube.Where are you seeing this? Because when I go to the World Bank site for Russia I see 2.2T for 2022, no more recent data.World Bank keeps increasing their estimate of Russian economy.
Last time they apparently recalculated and made Russia ~$6trln economy.
Now they appear to be saying that Russia could be $10trln economy. ~They explain that 40% of russian economy was not accounted by their accounting methodology
~$6trln is an official number, so Russia is 4th economy of the world ahead of Japan. Has been since 2021 apparently.
Nominal dollars you are using is what doomed NATO and their plan to crash Russia.
WB does not use nominal dollars, nobody with more than half-brain does.
