However, that is functionally equivalent to equipping a protracted, bloody insurgency, and it’s far from obvious that that would be a good outcome for anyone.

You do know that Bulgaria, just like Romania, is crap at using EU development funds, right? Your country could look like Austria by now if you wouldn't be so corrupt. Look in the mirror first. How do you explain Slovenia or Estonia or Poland with your world outlook?
I agree. Bulgaria was on the right track until 2009. It's almost as if different countries face different realities. Corruption does not happen in a vacuum. Ultimately, the responsibility lies to those with power. What I am saying is geopolitics are not decided by the common person. You seem to disagree and that's fine

I think we're probably more aligned than you think :-) I think society is a slow, lumbering beast that's hard to turn around, and very unpredictable. I think that elites generally control things and the average person can't do much. But if > elites control > things and only in > favor, then we can't explain how developed countries happened. Long story short: the common person can't do much in general, but sometimes t…
See Solidarnosc in Poland for a great example.

The phrase "the free world" rubs me the wrong way. I'm obviously against what Russia is doing, any sane man would be. But as a middle eastern, the US to us has been 10x worse than Russia: They killed a million Iraqis, they killed Syrian civilians by bombing hospitals and schools. They overthrew a functional government in Libya, and they supported Syrian/Iraqi separatists (Kurds). They forcefully tried to build a mili…
All good points. I am ashamed for both some of the things that happened and that way too few has been held responsible. Please forgive those of us who where tricked into it, too young to vote etc. I'll try to do my part to prevent more of it. Edit: as for the phrase "the free world", read it to mean "freer to those inside it" if that helps.
Then you blame the voters of America when their government started an illegal war based on falsehoods.

"What does Ukraine really have, that Putin so desperately wants? " It's not 'what it has' it's 'what it is'. Putin views the Ukraine as 'part of Russia' - that's it. I don't understand why people have such a hard time with this. Imagine if Mexico invaded Texas in 1950 and 'won'. A lot of Americans would want to 'take it back'. Now I don't believe that this analogy is real in terms of the Ukraine situation (Imagine if…
> Imagine if Mexico invaded Texas in 1950 and 'won'. A lot of Americans would want to 'take it back'. Ironically it happened the other way round.
This thread is mostly full of jokes, and that's cool. But more seriously I'm exactly the kind of person I suppose this is meant to appeal to. I've spent the last 2-3 decades breaking into systems. Many of these systems comprise what the US calls "critical infrastructure". That's pipelines, power generation, transmission, distribution. Air traffic control systems. Government agencies. I'm based in the US. The problem…
I am surprised this is the top comment. Not that it's not well argued but what seems to imply of the reading by most of the current situation. The joke of sanctions implemented by the EU and the US, and they are a joke, since EU continues to import gas from Russia, and SWIFT use continues by the Russian Federation, is a symptom of the same attitude seen on many Ukraine residents just 48 hours ago. A kind of cognitive…
Arguably, gas is of military value, so maybe it's more advantageous to allow Russia to have the money and have the gas than the other way around. Depends on if the money goes towards other armaments - but I'm sure Russia has plenty of those in any case.
That said, why wouldn't Russia stop selling? Hmmm.
> ex-president of the United States openly praising the Russian president on the media
> US TV networks openly doing the treasonous job of promoting Russian views in the US
Can you clarify, I feel there might be a dubious definition of 'praising' and 'promoting' at play here.

Reminder to people who didn't grow up in the US: Americans are by and large a bloodthirsty, vindictive lot and pay an astounding amount of attention to who their friends are. This is sometimes a force for evil, sometimes a force for good, but it is what it is. Sure, don't take legal advice from me. Use a VPN.
> Reminder to people who didn't grow up in the US: Americans are by and large a bloodthirsty, vindictive lot I'd take away "by and large" here. Many of them are also exceedingly generous, open and friendly and cares deeply. This holds true for both sides of the political spectrum. They've also suffered a lot to end two world wars that they didn't start.
