So ladies can you please admit who’s so pants-on-head backwards to be so obsessed about PaRD to remember all this useless personal information about posters and be desperate enough to make multi’s?

(don’t get me wrong, I’m proud im living in somebody’s dreams, free real estate. Never had a secret admirer/stalker tbh)

I only know one guy here obsessed enough to send PMs to everyone and remember all this petty shit. But he’s not banned so welp?

As I understand the situation it is unlikely further action will be taken, until such time as something re-occurs, at which time that event will be viewed in isolation.
this is a neutral statement of my opinion.

THE FORKS IN THE ROAD

In this video from his podcast,
@AMercouris
provides an excellent historical summary of the choices that the U.S. faced in the lead-up to the Ukraine War that would have averted the current disaster:

In 2004, the US could have stayed out of Ukrainian affairs altogether, but instead it chose to support a color revolution.

In 2008, the US could have listened to then-ambassador, now-CIA director Bill Burns’ advice not to expand NATO to Ukraine because it would cross the brightest of all redlines for the entire Russian leadership. But instead the US issued the Bucharest declaration that Ukraine would join NATO.

In 2013, the US and its European allies could have compromised on the EU accession agreement to address Russian concerns. But instead they maintained that they would not change even a punctuation mark.

In 2014, the US could have supported a peaceful transition of power in Ukraine. But instead it backed the Maidan coup against a democratically-elected government.

In 2015-2022, the US could have supported peaceful attempts, via the Minsk agreements, to resolve the protests by ethnic Russians that broke out in reaction to the coup. But instead it supported Kiev’s attempts to violently suppress and shell the Donbas.

In 2021-2022, the US could have negotiated over the draft Russian agreements which principally sought a written guarantee that Ukraine would not join NATO. But instead it insisted that it would never compromise over that policy.

In 2022, after the war broke out, the US could have supported the peace process in Belarus and Istanbul, but instead it sabotaged those agreements.

And now, in the wake of a failing counteroffensive, the US could seek to enter into serious negotiations with the Russians, but instead it’s demanding that the slaughter continue.

At every fork in the road, the US foreign policy elite have chosen the path of confrontation and conflict as opposed to compromise and peace.

The Foreign Policy Establishment have an obsession with spreading liberal democracy worldwide.
Not to mention at that point of time, right after the collapse of the Soviet Union, the book that was published by Fukuyama in 1992The End of History and the Last Man who was no doubt the scholastic darling of US democracy was widely hailed and read amongst both political spectrum in the United States.

The unwavering pursuit and crusading attitude of the FEP to finally spread what they believe is the only "correct " political system that will help mankind progress to the next level has push, in this case Russia into such a position.

Now, the FEP and their noble pursuits means no harm, at least on the surface but they created a lot of security concerns amongst the Russian nationalists. The democratic shock treatment that Russia received have inevitably failed and created a disastrous effect on the Russians.
Please note that the Russians are not the only recipients of these shock and awe treatment.

The FEP did whatever they could at any cost in order to pursue a liberal democratic world which includes but not limited to color revolutions , intervention and infiltration in order to mold the Russians into an entity that they can influence and control.
As much as countless of rational political scholars and in your quote i.e Director Bill Burns warning about the red lines. The FEP will not listen and is rather relentless in their pursuits.

Please also note that although the USSR collapsed and was seemingly pursing a more democratic form of government, this is not enough for the FEP.
It is in my opinion that the US will only consider it a done deal and we win it all if they can actually get rid of or minimize Russia's Nuclear Arsenal to a point that the threat is easily managed and handled.
It doesn't surprise me at all that NATO expansion is to slowly encroach into Russia's sphere of influence and red lines to push Russia to a point where they have no choice but to react.

Long story short, the FEP will not let the Russians live until they reach their objectives. Which is understandable because the Nuclear Problem that the Russian have will forever be a threat to the United States. And it their minds, it is only strategically coherent to pursue such an action.

Therefore we are now at this particular stage.

Stalin died in 1953. Soviet Union collapsed in 1991. Neither exists anymore and is irrelevant.
The US attacked Iraq in 2003 and stayed until 2011. The US still exists and is still making life miserable for a hundred times as many people as Russia does. Hypocrite.
