Which I’m definitely going to listen to!

This is a typical example of US-American arrogance. – Yes
To tell others what they have to do.- All the time!
But it is they themselves who actually triggered this war.- Yup, but far too many would argue otherwise.

“this agenda has been adopted and continued by the US-Americans- It is also a testament to how poorly US-Americans can respond to the Russian way of thinking.”

Referencing the British Empire and it’s endless agenda of targeting Russia- Their poor response? Is it a choice to respond as poorly as they do? I think it is, because, the UK/US attitude comes from the idea of superiority.. So, what Russia states/speaks can be discounted or disregarded. Unless it just stems from some lack of comprehension? An inability to understand? I don’t know?
Regards to you 🙂

Absolutely! Confession through projection. I was thinking the same thing.

Hey Gary,
I would think coercion doesn’t play a role in true diplomacy defined as “the profession, activity, or skill of managing international relations”
Trump isn’t displaying professionalism or skill in his actions or his words- He’s acting like the global bully.
But some people might think coercion aka persuasion is part of diplomacy- then again I’m still thinking making threats is coercion and bullying but it is not diplomacy.
That’s my opinion 🙂

They stung the bear, they pushed him, they upset him. And now they will have to endure the consequences of this.
And the US-American people should pray every day that Vladimir Putin will remain president of the Russian Federation for a long time, because he is gone, a nationalist hardliner will most likely succeed him.

To deepen the fundamental problem, interested parties can search for the following video: George Friedman, “Europe: Destined for Conflict?” (It’s ten years old but still actual).

Best regards
