    it’s incredible to me that this “we just have to kick the doors in and the whole rotten edifice will fall down around their ears” thinking is still going strong. collapsing russia by military means worked exactly once, in ww1, and it took years of grinding them down and even then, it only worked because russia was ready for revolution.

    it didnt work for napoleon. it didnt work for hitler. and so far, it’s not working for nato either. their previous strategy of dangling blue jeans in front of russians worked better, they should go back to that.

      Chauvinism is a hell of a drug, a lot of people in the west have convinced themselves they’re superior to Russians and I think the fall of USSR really went to their heads.
