That was quick. Imagine he was a politician (or a son of a politician... looking at you, Hunter Biden). That would take another several years of investigation and then he'd be let go.
"racist trees", "racist doorbell", "racist photos"... my god, when will all this nonsense stop? When will the mass media stop feeding people with that crap? As a lesson, every single news company that writes about…

I just can't stress enough the amount of US propaganda you've put in your mouth. Chechen War has nothing to do with Georgia/Ukraine/NATO/etc. It's a different conflict. Moldova was attacked by both Russia and Ukraine…
This is a proxy war between the US and Russia. Nobody gives a shit about Ukraine. Why do you think the US is pouring money into this war like crazy? There was no threat from Russia before 2007. There were no events to…
I stand for truth and justice. NATO is the threat. The US cannot simply lie about NATO's good intentions, because in Eastern Europe they are not. It's unfortunate that Russia has to use "the war" mechanism to prevent…
I support Mearsheimer's reasoning because there is a logic behind it. There are no scientists that would provide an opposite reasoning as logical as the Mearsheimer's one. > CATO Institute is fucking dumb :) ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ >…
Why should the West do anything on the opposite side of the globe? Why does the West only care about democracy in the countries with a lot of natural resources? Oh yea, that must be a pure coincidence.
You are exhausted, but you still haven't answered my question. Why is J. Mearsheimer's reasoning incorrect, but yours is correct? He is a political scientist with decades of experience. Here is one more from CATO…
> No, there's theorising by John Mearsheimer which you subscribe to. It's an ideology of realpolitik/offensive realism, I've read it, I've watched it, I know what you mean and that's just a take, a view on the…

I do not support Russia. But I do understand why Russia is doing what they are doing. There is a logical chain of events that led to the conflict. I do strongly support the idea that the US is the core issue here.…
I intentionally asked you these questions so that you could answer the main question by yourself. Russia has always been reluctant to NATO–the expansion was one of the main topics post-USSR crash. Munich, 2007-Putin…
Ok, smarty. Why was there a conflict in Georgia? What were the events that led to it? > Russia decided to escalate that and annex Crimea in 2014 Putin CLEARLY said that he will annex Crimea if X. What is that X?
I'm not a Russian shill. I pay my taxes in the US, and, apparently, my actions sponsor the war.
When Ukraine hits Poland (even by mistake), people take step back and blame Russia, because Ukraine wouldn't have had to use an anti-missile system if there was no Russian missile in the first place. Fair enough. Now,…
What Russia is doing is the result of something else. That something else is the root cause of the war in Ukraine.
He is neither pro-Kremlin nor anti-Kremlin. Mearsheimer is a political scientist with 50+ years of experience. He relies on pure facts and explains why things are the way they are. Nothing more, nothing less.
You are right, Ukraine doesn't need the approval of Russia, however, becoming a member of NATO is only possible if membership does not affect security of any other country. That's written on paper and one of the…
I'm Ukrainian, but I just want to throw a provocative thought in here. Everyone's talking about how bad and evil Putin is and all that. However, nobody's talking about the _why_ Putin is doing what he's doing. For the…

You can't legalize marijuana while education is subpar. It has to be done the opposite way. Also, why to legalize something that is harmful to your body and brain [1]? I mean, there are SO many publications about it.…
