Dougie93 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 At the time I certainly knew it was a moment of historical import, and definitely felt like; victory. No gloating, welcoming the East Germans into the free world, but with hindsight now, I realize that it wasn't just the end of the Cold War, it was in fact the end of modernity, so was an even bigger epoch than I had surmised in real time.

The Arabs also could buy land from the cash-strapped Sultan...most didn't as they didn't want to pay property taxes and serve in the Ottoman Army. Prudent at the time, I'm sure.

eyeball Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) 18 hours ago, OftenWrong said: Want to know who to really blame for this? Blame Russia... Vlad Putin... supreme puppet-master of the left. So how does this square with the assertion that us lefties suddenly oppose an arms race despite the wishes of our supreme master? Do you guys have any sense at all of how retarded your rationalizations sound? Edited February 7, 2019 by eyeball Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougie93 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 The lefties support the arms race, because the left is a Welfare-Warfare state, King Dollah is the only one paying for their centrally planned socialist agenda, just as King Dollah was the only thing propping the Soviet Union up.

Dougie93 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 King Dollah is the only thing propping the Russians up too. If King Dollah were to kick them out of the international monetary system, Russia would spiral into a fiscal black hole in a matter of hours. This however would likely incite World War Three, so we don't do that, unless and until things come to the breach of Article V and the Hague Convention.

DogOnPorch Posted February 7, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 (edited) In the future, Russia would make a far better ally than opponent...or outright enemy. I would support any move that further thawed remaining barriers between Russia and the West...Canada and the USA in particular. Want to know why? (see below) Hockey...that could be somewhere in Manitoba with different lyrics. That's Pelageya...beloved Russian singing star...could be somebody from my town... Together, we could set this planet right. Edited February 7, 2019 by DogOnPorch 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You cannot have an ally with an independent nuclear deterrent, nuclear armed hegemons are inherent existential threats to one another and so adversaries by default. There is only one nuclear alliance; The United Kingdom - United States Security Agreement Otherwise known as the Special Relationship. That relationship being the Joint Strategic Deterrent wherein the House of Windsor subordinates her nuclear hegemony to Washington's.

They are making themselves into our adversaries by propping the Kremlin up, we can't save them from themselves, when they have an independent nuclear deterrent, as I just said.

Story of my life...worrying about the Kremlin. Don't want to worry about Russia when we share common enemies that deserve a thorough beat-down. Perhaps then we can go back to hating each other.

Dougie93 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 And Vladimir V. Putin is not just a hockey fan, he's a player like me. He loves Team Canada hockey, Team Canada is second only to Team Russia for Putin. I don't have anything against Vladimir V. Putin, he's not my ideological enemy, I'm simply with the Americans, so we are adversaries, by way of UKUSSA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dougie93 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 I love the Ukrainians too, the Ukrainians are the Canadians of the Russian Empire. I am ambivalent about the Inner Ukrainian Border, I don't pick a side, both sides are bad asses to me. The Slavic troops can take a pounding like nobody else on earth, and keep on coming back for more, this is a family feud, both sides are Red Army.

Dougie93 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Nobody is innocent. This is geopolitics, all virtue signalling is propaganda. Canada by the way, is on the Russians side not the Ukranian side, because Canada is now in de facto opposition to the American Hegenomy, the Ukrainians are fighting to join the Americans, Canadians and Russians are fighting to prop up Potemkin Villages in the face of the American Information Age Revolution threatening to sweep those aside.

Both sides willingly played Grad rocket shoot n' scoot with glee. Canada is now aboard with the US thanks to Trump's leverage which BC alluded to in some post he made. I think if left to her devices, Freeland would say some things that would be hard to take back re: Russia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dougie93 Posted February 7, 2019 Report Share Posted February 7, 2019 Canada is not on board, Trump is simply intimidating them into submission. Just as Zeitgeist says, the Liberal Potemkin Village is a Cultural Protectorate, the CBC backed up by the jackboots of the RCMP. This cannot stand in the face of the American Information Age, anymore than the Russian Near Abroad Potemkin Village can. Hence, Grad rockets in Ukraine, Trump Derangement Syndrome in Canaderp. The Ukrainians are simply revolutionaries while Canadian Eskimo Communists are too bourgeois to kill and die for anything, even their Cultural Protectorate to which they proclaim fealty.

We also, generally, don't have a Grad rocket depot just down the road to 'liberate'. When they shoot 'em at Israel, they're toy rockets.
