Like it or not, we are back in a multi-polar world. Hint: He lives in Moscow. Multi-polar doesn't have to mean armed conflict. If Russia had any future as one of the poles they wouldn't be betting all their chips. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regime change in Russia? Is that the end-game of America in this Ukraine war? And is China next? ===== Reagan defeated the Soviets - for the good of us all. Be happy, go home.

I'm fearful that certain Americans (Jake Sullivan for example) want to change the Russian state. In 1815 and 1945, we created a structure of peace. In 1991, there was an earthquake - we need a new system. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have 3 great powers, all with major flaws. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You have 3 great powers, all with major flaws. Australians always seek protection. The British oppose any dominant European power. English-Canadians apparently tend to seek survival. French-Canadians are stubborn as hell. ===== This is a foolish war of nationalism. Young men are dying for nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
August1991 Posted May 10 Author Report Share Posted May 10 In 1910, Europeans already knew so much. They wondered more. Some 100 years later, I travelled around the various parts of the Austrian-Hungarian Empire: Galicia, Lemnitz. ==== And then as in 1914, for no reason, like now I fear, it all fell apart.
