any student of history will know that Le Pen and politicians like her, will get alot of votes because they are able to tap into the mood of a nation, when things are not going right. and things are not going right in alot of nations, and its my view that is set to continue for the foreseeable future, ergo we will see more and more radical figures.

Also I tend to agree with meanwhile here, Le Pen is a visual outlier but we should not forget similar political figures in each of our own countries, whether it be in Ireland, Pakistan, Holland or elsewhere.


Similarly speaking someone is trying to tap into the mood of Pard with much incompetence really, but it is also in my view that this will continue in foreseeable future and there will be more and more radical posters like them who will mud sling in a pathetic attempt to sound morally upright to win " debates ".
But some of us will just throw our heads back and laugh.

The same thing the Cuban's did - they got too close to their neighbor's enemy and provoked USA, the greatest country on the planet. Your question was answered in the very first post of the topic.

On a side note Offensive Realism is partially obsolete today because of globalization and internet.
This kind of reasonning can be used to present U.S as predatory by those trying to promote anti-freedom regimes.

So i hope no one fooled you...

The same thing the Cuban's did - they provoked their larger neighbor. Cuba, like Ukraine, got too close to their neighbor's enemy and in thus provoked a response, from Russia and America respectively. Your question was answered in the very first post of the topic. When your in a small country you have to pay attention.

John Mearsheimer is an absolute hack and the Cuba analogy is pathetic scrambling. Wow.

Trash article but includes the video. Russian soldier tossing a grenade in the street next to playing children,

this is a 1hr long video. if its too long, consider just the first 5 minutes. it pretty much sums up the depressing facts. My view is that the West will give Ukraine alot of resources for next year and next year is going to be much more...explosive.

Someone calling John Mearshemiemer a hack.
Some people doesn't realized that while they are being brought into the world with great expectations hoping that they will be a SOJ or at least a Manald Heal Ring.

They ended up like that.

John Mearsheimer makes the perfect argument for smaller nations joining NATO.

Too bad Merkel the supposed "mother of the free world" bottled it in exchange for cheap gas.

Not far from Sevastopol, the Russian missile ship «Samum» was hit by a drone boat.

Politically it could have been super hard to refuse this "offer" and considering there is/was a rising a party in Germany ready to sell the ass of their country to Putin (AFD)...
What's really terrible is they didnt go for nuclear plants and, instead, installed natural gas heating systems in alot of homes :lol:

John Mearsheimer always smiling when talking about a disaster.
Former US Ambassador to Russia Michael McFaul said in 2014 that Russian foreign policy was not a reaction to that of the United States, but was based on Russian internal dynamics of the 2011/ 12.
