    Russia never left the cold war mindset. Putin thinks, acts, and leads like is sociopath KGB agent.

      Russia is still running the exact same playbook that they were running in the cold war. Invading countries that try to leave Russia’s sphere of influence, sending unmarked soldiers over the border to disarm your neighbors, and lying to your citizens about it the whole time. Russia went right back to the cold war as soon as Putin rose to power as Russia’s dictator.

    Says the country that is at war with a democracy, one that sought EU and NATO membership. But was denied into NATO to appease Russia!!!

    Shut up Russia, you are despicable. Hopefully you will recede into irrelevancy after losing to Ukraine. And hopefully get dissolved into multiple countries.

    Russia would know, they never gave up that mindset. They’re just mad NATO is back to playing their game instead of assuming the game stopped years ago.

    Sadhguru - “If one sells weapons to another, they’d be disappointed if they don’t use it.”

    Once deweaponization is done, all cold war would subside.

      Ukraine had one of the largest nuclear weapon stockpiles when the USSR broke with around 1900 warheads and 4000 tactical nuclear weapons. They de-weaponized themselves and got rid of them all.

      And how’d exactly that go for them, hm?

        Now they are supposed to roll over and let Russia disarm them. That would stop the war. If stopping war is the only goal, and you don’t care what the peace looks like, then the parent comment makes sense.

        Also, if you want to stop illness you could just let the sick die.
