Brackman, that's an option.
But it won't work with Russia. Putin isn't Nicholas II. And he certainly won't relinquish power.
And any war in the current conditions must be won QUICKLY. Otherwise, those who initiated the conflict will be attacked from behind.
TWELF 12, less Russophilia, please. Regarding Zadornov – (see my posts on several previous pages. Locken said very aptly – Zadornov is exaggerating to an extreme degree).
+to everyone who is confidently saying "Americans are idiots, but ours are..." (regardless of who exactly "ours" are).
Well, well. I won't talk about the spirituality and greatness of Russia in world history – because great philosophers in Russia appeared (as they did everywhere, actually) only when the country was in a state of pre-catastrophe.
I won't talk about whether it was good or bad in the Soviet Union – simply because for ME, the USSR is just four letters "S", "S", "S", "R", which together represent a giant industrial power (and I don't care that one factory was in Kamchatka and another in Kazakhstan – and the parts were transported to Donetsk. But WHAT PARTS! And HOW it worked!).
I just can't understand one thing:
Russians get offended when they are compared to Americans ("They are stupid!").
Americans I know get offended when they are called Russians (EVEN THOUGH THEY OFTEN SEE RUSSIANS), and for the same reason.
Gentlemen! Maybe you're not so different after all? At least, your ambitions are the same.
So, what exactly distinguishes an American worker, manager John Smith, from a Russian worker, manager Pyotr Ivanov?
(Except for the latter's dismissive attitude towards private property – "everything around is public, everything around is mine!". This is true for all residents of that country called the Soviet Union of Socialist Republics. Whether Russian, Ukrainian, Estonian, or Kazakh. Some have more (those who are more foolish), some have less (those who are smarter), and some have none at all...).
When a Russophile gives me an answer without using the words "spirituality," "richness of the soul," "Yankee," "fool," "stupid," and the like... then I will stop being angry with Russophiles.
Yes, I apologize for the delay... Locken, you should take a break now. For a week or two. You're showing typical signs of nervous strain.
2 Ksel, Slonysh, and others – give the guy a break.
