Is it just Serb, or are Russians just nihilistic in general?“It is no use trying to 'see through' first principles. If you see through everything, then everything is transparent. But a wholly transparent world is an invisible world. To 'see through' all things is the same as not to see.”

Of course destroying the pipeline would still be stupid. The difficulty is that it was a stupid move no matter who did it.Comment

Half and half, I'd say. Gloomy fatalism w/ a (delightful, hilarious, IMO) dry sarcasm icing is very much the national character - and obviously, very atypically I think, Serb doesn't do the icing. As far as I can tell, it's nearly impossible to get a Russian -who doesn't like you- angry enough to start in with the "we won WWII all by ourselves without any help" let alone the "we will destroy you". Make friends with one, though, and many do have that sorta thing lurking inside. Serb's just WAY out of normal with how quick he'll start showing his butt that way, to whom, and in pointless persistence.Originally posted by pchang View PostComment

"It is the biggest terrorist state in human history!" - if you care about formal correctness v. casual speech. In the latter case it's okay your way, only a little foreign-sounding.Comment

Serb, from 2014 to February 2022 some 14,000 people are estimated to have died in the war in the Donbass. What fraction of those people do you think died as a result of genocidal attacks targeting civilians and what fraction died as a result of combat between the separatist armed forces and Ukrainian armed forces?
How is the special operation going to be an effective response to that? What would long term success look like? What if large numbers of civilians in the conquered territories don't like living under Russian rule?
I never have understood what you think the special operation is any good for.Comment
