They are really eager for a WW3 . Perhaps it is about time though , since the world is practically in Chaos looking at EU particularly.


europe is not the center of the world, even if it thinks it is.

I disagree, I believe that during and after the elections they will double down on their current course of action.


in general yes, but they will frame it differently

if a republican wins they will suddenly admit that the US are in a recession "oh my god, how could this happen, can we still afford the help for ukraine?"

Was flying through Amsterdam airport today and visited museum of Airplanes they have there. Turns out Igor Sikorsky who was a Russian nationalist and Monarchist who spent his whole childhood in Saint Petersburg developing airplanes for the Tzar and then emigrated to US after civil war broke out where he spoke Russian, was a member of the Russian Orthodox Church and was buried at the Russian cemetery in the US ….

… is apparently an Ukranian.

History being rewritten before our eyes.

Born in Kiev. Kind of important fact to omit.

It's like saying JRR Tolkien was African, George Orwell was Indian and Eddie Izzard is an Arab.

Indeed. Its still prudent to include the facts.

Do you consider rewriting history equal to redrawing international borders?

Seems a bit ironic for a Russian to complain about revisionism.
