It'd be very simple for Putin to wind down the insurgency. Shut off all support. Seal up the border. Let the Ukrainian military wear them down and destroy the insurgents. People give a fuck, that's the whole reason the EU and the US are getting involved. Don't give me the bullshit that you do...

http://qz.com/60481/why-the-former-east-germany-is-lagging-24-years-after-the-berlin-wall-came-down/ I'll have to do some extra digging, but it seems there is a fair number of comparisons floating around. What? Putin doesn't want a multipolar world. If he did, he wouldn't have annexed Crimea...

"At least the soviets used less treacherous tactics by being more direct." And how much success did they have? The Soviet Union had enslaved Eastern Europe for close to 50 years, directly. They weren't above using treacherous tactics either, which is what you forget. Hell, their intelligence...

Maybe you should try it. After all, the United States acted as a deterrent preventing the Soviets from overruning Germany and the rest of Europe, subjugating it. The key difference between South American and Eastern Europe is that the United States never created an American Empire there or set...

It's not that I don't like Russia. I like Russia. I love Russia. I love its people, its culture, its rich history (which is intertwined with ours). What I hate is the Russian government. They deserve a better class of politician than wannabe tsars. Hell, they have yet to experience actual...

Did you even spend a moment to think about all the other countries in Eastern Europe? Either we're all dumbfucks with no free will, manipulated by the powers that be or maybe, just maybe, the West really is better. Like we're doing business with them now? Oh right, because wannabe tsars are...

I'm not dismissing history or saying that Russia can be trusted. I'm pointing out that Russia has a history of violence directed against Eastern European states, a history which has directed them towards the West. It isn't the West being nefarious manipulators that coerced the poor dumbfuck...

Why should we bow to Russia? A compromise requires both sides giving ground and Russia has been unwilling to do that. Why should it be the West that changes, rather than Russia? It won't. It's a moot point, because the circumstances would have to be vastly different for that to happen...

Entertainment being used to influence people is nothing new. Panem et circenses and all that jazz. As for BNW, You have no excuse. The joke. Your head.

I've never said I'm impartial. I don't have the luxury of being impartial, not when Russia is just inches away from making overt threats of invading (and its own media are already doing that). Here in Argentina, while Poland had to suffer a comunist dictatorship, we had to suffer a capitalist...

You're late by about 31 years, brah.

The problem with the "our role" line of argument leads to denying Ukrainians any and all agency. The Cold War mentality interprets the world as having two players and the rest being merely pawns in their hands. Ukrainians aren't pawns. They made a choice and when that choice was ignored by the...

Doesn't have to be sold directly, either. When the Polish GROM switched to 416s, the M4s had to go somewhere.

Eh, ain't that bad. At least unlike Brave New World, we didn't bomb ourselves to oblivion first. In general, neither Huxley nor Orwell were right. Gibson and other pioneers of cyberpunk were. To be honest, I'm not sure why we continue to think of the genre as fiction. We're living it right now.

Your source is a guy whose "journalism" creates articles like the following: END TIME SIGNS 2015: JEWS CALLED TO ISRAEL MID ‘BLOOD MOON’ TETRAD, 3/20 EQUINOX ECLIPSE. http://undergroundworldnews.com/2015/01/19/end-time-signs-2015-jews-called-to-israel-mid-blood-moon-tetrad-320-equinox-eclipse/...

We're gluttons for punishment.

I'm rewriting the article on power armor for the Vault and that's not the case. First, the lore says nothing of the sort. Second, tanks were largely retired because of the resource crisis. By 2060, there was no longer enough fuel around to allow cars to operate, much less gas guzzlers like...
