>>6086429>old doctrine of russia to undermine and weaken trust in democratic institutions / representatives / mechanisms.Yep.
>You have reached rock-bottom when you think Putin - which I personally admirefor playing dumbfucks like that - is your new best friend.
Yep. :) Thank you for your honesty, Krautbro.
>Putin went to the KGB himself to ask for a job at the age of 15, he is deep state to the bone.Oh, but yes.
> Putin sure hasn‘t forgotten about decades of humiliation from the US.Putin needs to chill out. There wouldn't BE a Russia if it weren't for the United States, after the fall of the USSR. We invited him into NATO. We tried to bring him into the fold, but NO. Now ten years later he sees Ukraine joining NATO, probably wants to join, but is too proud, or ambitious, or greedy to do it. So he pulls a "literal Hitler," unilaterally invades a peaceful nation and doesn't leave, annexes their land and steals Sevastopol and several lucrative port and pipeline routes, and then wonders why all the world is sanctioning him and breaking his financial back. That was fucking stupid. He did it to himself, man.
And he's too hard headed to get along with Democratic states and just withdraw from Ukraine, negotiate peace with Ukraine, and come back into the fold of the noble, well-respected, and stable world powers. He would instantly be met with the lifting of sanctions, with financial benefit for himself and the Russian people, and he might even be able to help salvage Donald Trump's horrible Presidency.
Then global bipolarity shifts to NATO v. China instead of NATO v. Warsaw Pact, and both countries can work to eliminate terrorism from the Middle East forever and ensure that nuclear holocaust never happens. Because lemme tell you, that stunt with Ukraine almost got us all killed. We had a treaty with Ukraine to come to it's defense if ever attacked, in exchange for them giving Russia their nukes. And had Bush or Reagan been in there, we might all be dead now.
