- Honestly ... what are the odds that Putin will file a sworn affidavit in a U.S. court? If anyone ought to know, it's Mike Dunleavy, the Alaskan governor, and there's no reason why we shouldn't take his word on this point.
_- The Cold War is a part of recent history that we need to study and learn from; I don't want to return to the Cold War any more than anyone else.

Above is a photo of Wallenberg, from a "passport photo from June 1944". The photo and the preceding quotation are both from the Wiki article about him. The Soviet government eventually said (in 1957) that he died in a Soviet prison in 1947, but there are those who say that Wallenberg lived for a period of time afterward.
STOCKHOLM (AP) -- The Soviet government cleared up a 12-year-old mystery today by acknowledging that missing Swedish diplomat Raoul Wallenberg died at Soviet secret police headquarters in Moscow in 1947.
...
A Soviet note to the Swedish government today (February 8, 1957) said Wallenberg died 'suddenly in the night in his cell' (in Lubyanka prison, which houses Soviet police headquarters.) Death "presumably" was from a heart attack -- a myocardiac thrombosis -- it added, and occurred on July 17, 1947. At that time Wallenberg was 36.
...
When the Soviet Army entered Budapest (in 1945), Wallenberg, as a diplomat representing a country with which the Soviet Union had relations, possessed immunity from arrest. But five days later he was in the custody of Soviet police.

Dunleavy didn't give 'his word.' If he thought the Russian government was serious about the invasion, he'd do more than write a shit-talking tweet. He was saying if they ever try to invade, then Alaskans will fuck the Russians up. Are you seriously this autistic?
He didn't bring it to the attention of Congress. No press conference. Just a shit-talking tweet.
You can't explain the above.
Autism, stupidity, and clearly mental illness all rolled up into one.

Explain again why Russia should protect its interests and Ukraine shouldn't.
Crimea is internationally recognized as part of Ukraine. Let's remember again how we came to this conflict. Ukraine agreed to scrap its nuclear arsenal in exchange for international guarantees, from several international powers, including the US and Russia, that Ukraine's borders are inviolable. If Ukraine still had nuclear weapons this Russian invasion would not have happened. But the US and several Western powers agreed that it is better for themselves to scrap Ukraine's nuclear arsenal to prevent nuclear proliferation. When Russia broke this agreement it directly attacked US' authority and military power to uphold such treaties.
Yes, Central American military dictatoships used drug money to buy Soviet equipment, which was sold at discount prices anyways, because the Soviets just wanted to cause trouble for the US.
But this whole point is irrelevant. Any Central American country means nothing compared to the US, they're simply not comparable on any dimension you pick. This is not the case with Ukraine and Russia. Ukraine is only 3 times smaller than Russia in terms of population, and had a larger industrial footprint than Russia when the USSR collapsed. Russia held together only with oil and gas money.
What Russia wants to do in Ukraine, is similar to the US invading Mexico on the pretense that Mexico mistreats whites and that it occupies land historically ruled by Europeans - and for that Mexico should cease to exist as a state or at least have a puppet president and leadership elected in Washington DC. Do you think such a goal would be realistic for the US? Fuck no, even considering the weak military of Mexico.
If Mexico elects a Communist president in the next election cycle, someone like Brazil's Lula, the US will do nothing. Mexico has its own interests and politics and the US will have to adjust to the new reality. One thing the US won't do is invade Mexico. That's reserved for frustrated office clerks like Putin.
Hahahaha, alright.
Dude, Russia's Black Sea fleet is not stationed in Crimea any longer, Elvis has left the fucking building. So tell me again how is Crimea such a great Russian naval base? You make no sense.
In fact, the Black Sea fleet is not only out of Crimea, but out of the conflict as well. You can track that by the number of ship-based Kalibr missiles fired against Ukraine. They launch a couple every 3 or 4 months. That's as good as gone.
That's an expired analysis from a decade ago.

Below is a photo of Mikhail Sheremet, who was a Russian MP at the time he made this proposal. Photo source: Ria. The photo was posted at newsunrolled.com. The image above was posted at crwflags.com. Image credit: "António Martins, 01 Nov 2002".
Full story at Blacksea CaspiaThe so-called M.P. in the (Russian) State Duma from ... annexed Crimea ... - Mikhail Sheremet has proposed the Soviet flag to become the new state flag of Russia. This was announced on May 18, 2022 by the Russian agency RIA Novosti.
Sheremet said the West feared the Soviet flag because 'the red flag of victory reminds him of the greatness of our people and our great victory'.

This photo of Stalin was posted at the Wiki article about him.
Full story in The Barents ObserverSeveral Russian regions have already got one. Now, the turn could come to Arkhangelsk. A group of nostalgists says it intends to erect a statue of Stalin by the end of 2016.
"Today, we don’t have any uniting heroes!", the man behind the initiative, Vasilii Pozdnev, says to newspaper Argumenty i Fakty. "Stalin can be such a person, an organizing and mobilizing symbol for all honest people", he underlines.
The initiative started in December 2015 when a group of Communists assembled in downtown Arkhangelsk. Poznev laters opened a public support petition for the initiative and started collecting money.

"Some 60% of Russians hold a favorable view of Soviet leader Josef Stalin, according to a recent Levada poll — a record share since Levada began asking the question in 2001. Just 11% respondents view Stalin negatively. During the 25 years that Stalin ruled the U.S.S.R., he oversaw campaigns of mass repression that killed, imprisoned or displaced millions." The caption for another photo in the article linked to below says that "While authorities arrested some activists in other cities, the demonstrations in Moscow were not hindered by police." Photo credit: "Andrei Nikerichev / Moskva News Agency"
The article consists mostly of photos of the parade, accompanied by captions that make references to Soviet / Russian history.
