Fuck NATO

[Hermit]

Russia basically needs to realise its automatic influence ends at its borders

Brainfart much? Any nation's influence ends at the limits of its military and/or economic power. Being a denizen of a once mighty empire where the sun never sets you ought to know that.

Russia influence ends where the west allows it to end , not where it wants to have it

Old normals man. We live in a world where one unknown man can drop da bomb East, West and all in betweens.

And not using force makes that more likely.

Fuck ISIS Russia is the real threat

The real threat is Germany. My wife is a political genius and told me.

That's what I just said, and it's not what you said in your previous post.

Is it time to nuke Belgium yet? Come on, it must be!

Rubbish! Having reacquired much of East Germany it only wants the rest of it - Prussia. Then reopen The Corridor. Stands to reason,doesn't it? Mustn't leave East Russia out in the cold. Another nibble at the Sudetenland maybe. So many ethnic Germans there. A little Nachtanschluss. The Austransar clamouring for it. Oh, look! Don't those Ukrainian wheat fields and oil rigs look lovely... The worst Great Britain has to fear is for Volkswagen to buy up yet another decrepit pommy car maker. Got any left at all? No? See? Germany is nothing to worry about.

Doesn't matter about Ukraine. It's Germany the enemy of the UK cos they got all that coal and we ain't got any. My wife says we'll have to fight em for a bit of it.

Good luck with that. The German panzers will happily escort your expeditionary force back to Dunkirk once more.

The maps are already drawn. Even begun to collect Lancasters again.

The Boche? They're an inconvenience, like a blocked drain.

Most of Europe will be on our side when we go in. They've had years of being whipping boys for the German bankster. We'll win again.

Rather overconfident, that...

The influence of the west, and the influence of Russia don't end in a simplistic way. They both taper off as they move towards each others spheres on influence, and the extent of that varies both by place and by time, as their relative power waxes and wanes...

[MrJonno]

Putin is sick of Russia not being taken seriously as a 'world player', what we have to do is increase that sickness
