(2)The West already encourages "Balkanization" processes, and they've done this, since, oh, 1919. That ship has done sailed.

Not after 9-11-01. Since then, the U.S. has been a big supporter of stablity.

Hello there! I see you are discussing 09-11-01. Perhaps I can be of assistance.

The embargo is not responsible for Cuba's destitution. Communism was. Corn-based ethanol is a great idea to campaign on if you aren't from Iowa. EFCA wage earners, Lee Atwater, Heath Shuler: 9-11 changed everything. Obama/Kennedy administration released the swine flu too late to fully consolidate white power. Hats off to Elok, Drake, etc... for the company and the brown shirts. The whole OT forum was in an uproar after the diarrhea bukkake incident. Maybe Mary Jo Kopechne would have had a child who cured brain cancer if she wasn't on a plane that fateful day!

Damn, when did you jump the shark old boy, July 2006?

Would it be possible to sell RoboCon to a scrap metal dealer?

Honestly, rather then spending all this money buying weapons which will not be used it would be better for Russia to spend the money on domestic development. Build some 1st world style interstate freeways, build new schools, replace hospitals, update water & waste water systems, build some new power plant, etc... That way they can bring their general level of development up to 1st world standards which will, eventually, bring their standard of living up to 1st world standards as well.

Domestic spending.
There won't be any interstate freeways, though. First, we don't have states and second, bad roads are an integral part of our national defense system.

Nice strat

QFT. It worked against heavy-weight conquerors like Napolean and Hitler.

Egypt tried the same strategy during the 6-Day War. Nasser pulled his troops back and waited for the snow to fall. It didn't work too well there.

Somewhere in the Kremlin, someone actually thinks this way.

[Saras]

Bummer. The West lost all credibility on that when they redrew Serbia at gunpoint.



Most remaining citizens were issued passports and citizenship upon request, and it wasn't so much "deportation" as "a substantial minority packed up and left once it became clear most in the area wanted to remain part of Russia." Boo-hoo.

Interesting version. Source?

Of course, like I said, If Russia woke up tomorrow and annexed back all those former Soviet republics(excepting the ones that managed to schmooze their way into NATO) I wouldn't be too heartbroken.

How do you reconcile being cool with Russia forcibly annexing, say, Ukraine with being not cool with Georgia wanting to remove a criminal government claiming sovereignty over a part of its internationally recognised territory?

It's mostly that he got caught being pwnd earlier so now he has no other position he can take without contradicting himself.

No, he's actually a nice guy and I've met him at a poly meet.
