Russia plans nuclear wargame

Ok, NYE, if you don't like my explanation, I can give another version for you.
No one is threatening Russia, there is no even remote sign of such threat and we don't feel threatened. But because our pure evilness, we are planning to destroy the whole world.
And btw, the Canada is number one in our list.


How do you like this version?

Again, my dense friend, survival was the over-riding interest.

Hardly, hardly.
If thinking is not enough for you to figure this very simply fact out maybe witnessing today's interests as they keep going the same way they did back then, would conveince you. But as I said, I'm pretty sure your entire system of beliefs would collapse if you'd accept this, and I wouldn't wish that for you NYE

NYE, we should distingush between a 'threat' and an 'immediate threat' here. There are no immediate threats to Russia right now, except for islamic militants. But this is largely because the country remains strong. Much weaker than she used to be, but still strong enough.

However, there is a whole bunch of threats on a smaller scale, which should be addressed. For example, consider the quest for influence in the former Soviet republics. The more western puppet regimes are installed there, the weaker Russia becomes. Leaving smaller threats unresolved little by little leads to more serious threats.

In a whole 'big game' which is under way, Russia has retreated to its backyard -- to the former Soviet republics, but not yet to the Russian territory itself (well, perhaps, except for Chechnya). Should this happened, it would be already an immediate threat.

So, basically, it's a real threat of bigger threats.

So, the impression is that your influence in the former Soviet republics is being poached? Do I have that right?

By the Americans?

Do the Americans have more influence in any former Republics than Russia does? If they do, why?

Clueless.

You think the world carves up the same way today as it did in 1985? Curious.

I'm sure you could give lessons on rigid beliefs that defy change based on facts that are inconvenient.

The fact that's today's interests don't run the same way they used to might give you a clue, but perhaps you will still have to rent one.

They do have some very striking similarities. To a large extend they function the same. And funnily enough the goals remain the same too...

Baltic States.
American military bases in Asian former Soviet republics.

If they do, why?

Because they are f*ckers.

Yanks surrounded Russia with the military alliance of 19 countries, installed their military bases around our border, and now you're whining when we blow the dust from our nuclear club?

The message is clear and you should remember it- try something and you're toasts, all of you.

'They'? 'The goal'?

WTF are you babbling about, Patty Cakes?

[Bereta_Eder]

Oh must I spell it all out for you NYE?
Like all the "west" want is peace and harmony.
Might as well go to play basketball, I'm sure the guy who collects the shirts has more geopolitical sense than you my friend.

That's the best explanation so far

[notyoueither]

You assume a monolithic West, Patty Cakes. I don't. Recent events make you the fool.

What did happen though, is that up till the end of the Cold War, most all (if not every single one) liberal democracies did follow the same goal, that being the survival of our way of life. Funny how us rats all shared the same life boat til we got to dry land. btw, that did not involve peace and harmony. On the contrary, it involved a lot of blood, some of it ours.

Now, can you be done with your moronic pronouncements that bear no resemblance to anything that anyone has said?

Yes. But this is just one example of a threat.

By the Americans?

Mainly so, but also by the West as a whole. The EU is also getting taste for it.

I wouldn't say they have more influence. Perhaps it is only in Georgia that they have bigger political clout, where they've just installed a puppet government. Nonetheless, economically, Russia still has more influence even in Georgia, only that the new Georgian government doesn't seem (and doesn't want) to realize it yet, and Russia is too kind to remind it to them in full.

Anyway, it's not that the Americans have currently more influence, it's that they have enough influence to seriously damage Russian interests over there. It's also the dynamics. We are now on the verge of the battle of Ukraine. Who becomes the president is of vital importance.

[notyoueither]

The Russians and the Americans have a say in who becomes the President of the Ukraine?
