Interestingly, this is exactly what happens in Russia on a regular basis. Now we are all concerned not so much about the special operation as about some problems in domestic politics. Well, just because it all depends on how they will be solved. Speaking in general terms, today's Russia is a Western country in terms of the principles of power (and culturally it is its western part, which is much closer to us), living in accordance with Western ideas, disappointed in its own ideas about the Soviet era. But the experience of the last 30 years shows that we need our own clearer reasons for formulating our position in the world, and that they differ from the generally accepted ones. And this is a difficult task, because this time there is not even a single candidate in sight. It is clear that there are more pro-Western and less pro-Western people. And shy people who suddenly saw great pragmatism and adequacy to the real world in the way the Soviet Union was organized.

@DearEdisson @hamishgryan @wlemonesc Historically it is proven that any state will eventually fall under its own greatness because something that is big it is just too hard to manage because of human nature. Eventually something somewhere will be sabotaged by corruption or other interests

why does russia need crimea for a warm water port when they already have this part of the coastline 😭😭😭

@SRSLYHEEEELP @kwebbelaar_ @JacquesSchnee @wlemonesc There is no contradiction - the problems that are the basis of Russia's special operation in Ukraine are completely absent from what seems to you like an analogy.

@kwebbelaar_ @DearEdisson @JacquesSchnee @wlemonesc Yep, glad I was not the only one tvat instantly noticed the contradiction. The mental gymnastics to justify this war is crazy.

Well, the bottom line is that without the agreement, there would be no question of sovereignty. The USSR was disintegrating on the basis of certain principles. If its citizens had known about all the consequences in 1991, they would have simply killed everyone involved. Let me remind you that the only surviving participant in the Belovezhskaya Agreements, as well as the successor of the second signatory (out of 3), recognized all this as a mistake. And this is not counting the fact that sovereignty disappears by itself when politicians within a country are paid to come to power in other countries.

@VladMalcev6 @DearEdisson @wlemonesc Sovereignty nullifies any subsequent requirements. There's no such thing as "sovereign only if you do what we say".

@c_solntse А вдруг один из типоразмеров вам не подойдет и вы не возьмете всю пачку?

Дарю идею на миллион. Почему до сих пор ни один производитель прокладок не догадался делать ассорти-упаковку на месяц? Ну это же база: 6 ночных, 12 средних и 21 ежедневка в одной красивой пачке.

If you read the current news and look out the window, your idea seems pretty mundane. When I read and watch, I remember a nursery rhyme that sounds like this: And the chanterelles took matches, lit the blue sea...... So I have nothing to answer you, everything is bad in the world. People are dumb today. But in general, I am far from anthropological pessimism - because I am Russian.

@DearEdisson @GRIFTLESS @wlemonesc That's presuming other countries are the same imperialistic savages like you

@voidcompiler @wlemonesc I'm pretty old by the standards of this company and don't have a valuable military specialty. But from the moment I started my career, I quit smoking and got fit. Since, apparently, sooner or later it will come to me.

@DearEdisson @wlemonesc When will you be heading to the front lines?

Waiting is a really controversial topic. Many people thought it was better to wait. But the fact is that there are problems inside Russia that are in many ways similar to those in Ukraine. A sudden conflict initiated by the other side will significantly complicate the transition period in Russia. It will deprive us of control over the process. On the one hand, everything could turn out the same as in Crimea. And that means very little cost and very little violence. Unfortunately, nothing came of it. On the other hand, the special operation allows local authorities in Russia and residents to understand what they are really facing, on the one hand, and in a rather mild way, that is, to gain an advantage. On the other hand, under these conditions, reforms may begin that would otherwise stall. But yes, this is still not a question to which we give a definite answer. But this case is not one of those in which retreat.

@DearEdisson @wlemonesc Thanks for the answer! Theres definitly a Russia hating part of the EU, but theres also a European hating part of the EU that wants to destroy us. (Thats full of Jewish fingerprints) Dont you think it would be better to wait, before attacking?

@Mika_Suari @wlemonesc Да - это хорошо заметно сегодня по тому как украина постепенно теряет восточные регионы. Это как раз оно - ваши очки вмялись внутрь.

@DearEdisson @wlemonesc розовые очки бьються стеклами внутрь, приятель.

@Mika_Suari @wlemonesc Да - с Крымом лучше, и Крыму и нам. А уж как в новых регионах стало лучше с инфраструктурой - вообще молчу. Ездил туда несколько лет подряд - каждый год не узнать места. Везде все свежее и новое.

@DearEdisson @wlemonesc рожать все начнут трижды по тройне за год, взьмемся за руки и будем хороводы водить! ведь это чего нам для счастья не хватало, крыма! а не нормальной экономической ситуации в стране!

@Mika_Suari @wlemonesc Вы тоже с Зеленским в стендапе начинали? В целом заметно что каждый раз перед очередным фейлом в твитере у украинцев победы сплошные с развалинами кремля. Могу только удачи пожелать в дальнейшем на этом поистине невидимом фронте.

@DearEdisson @wlemonesc жадным безумцам с милиардами которые они хранят за границей срочно потребовался этот трижы клятый крым. Вот щас как отвоюем его, как заживем все счастливо, внезапно и экономика у нас поднимется и школы с больницами построяться и снег чиститься сам будет и

@Mika_Suari @wlemonesc Well, what to do. It is their right to demand. Our right not to give. Everyone has their own interests, but Russia has not violated anything since it received the islands and has done nothing wrong to Japan except support trade.

@DearEdisson @wlemonesc но Японцы их регулярно требуют обратно, для вас это очевидно очень важный аргумент. половина россии это когда то чужая территория. надо все раздать обратно! стоил ли этот жалкий клочек земли тех смертей, разрушений, вреда экологии, полностью наебнувшийся экономики,

Perhaps the assassination attempt on Trump was a cover-up. Now she will take the bottles approved by the Secret Service, add a little poison to each with a thin needle, and then place them unnoticed on the table at the next event, as if nothing had happened. Well, she didn't take them to drink, did she?)

Wiecie kto zakosił szampana i wino ze stołu w momencie zamieszania z zamachem na Trumpa? Podają, że Olga Stefaniszyna, była minister sprawiedliwości Ukrainy, a obecnie ambasador w USA. Zbyt śmieszne, żeby mogło być prawdziwe.😁

@Mika_Suari @wlemonesc Курилы отошли России по добровольному соглашению условия которого не нарушались.

@DearEdisson @wlemonesc а курилы исторически японские. отдадим их японии?

@Mountkatten @wlemonesc Yes, well, that's 99 percent. I'm sorry, but they didn't even write about this in the Ukrainian Wikipedia. Let's not have this weird humor.

@DearEdisson @wlemonesc Don't lie. 95% of people in Crimea was Tartar when Russia occupied it.

Sovereignty is precisely what excludes the activities of other states, but in Ukraine all politics existed and exists only because of such influence. This is on the one hand. And according to the contract, you need to study the history of events. Without observing the conditions of non-alignment and realizing that the politics of a neighboring country would become hostage to the money of other states, there would be no sovereignty. If they had known today what price their descendants would have to pay, the people of '91 would have simply destroyed all those who signed the agreement. No one expected such losses and such a lack of self-sufficiency in Ukraine.

@DearEdisson @wlemonesc Sovereignty is sovereignty. There were no conditions.

@Mountkatten @wlemonesc They still live there, and Russia as a whole is home to many millions of Tatars and Turkic-speaking peoples. In particular, in Crimea they were 10 percent, and they are today.

@DearEdisson @wlemonesc Not your land, you robbed it of Krim Tartars

@AaronHinman4 @wlemonesc For sovereignty with conditions. The conditions were violated, and the policy also turned out to be not sovereign, but for the money of other countries hostile to Russia.

@DearEdisson @wlemonesc The agreements were violated by russia. >.The agreement was signed with the condition of non-alignment.<< No it wasn't. The treaties specifically recognized Ukraines right to sovereignty.

@santariska @wlemonesc Мира не будет без населения Украины, а оно и так уже наполовину разъехалось.

@DearEdisson @wlemonesc Без Крыма не будет мира.

@jperegadea @wlemonesc Russia has never been a colonial empire in the conventional sense. All of our regions that could be called colonies had equal development conditions with the rest of the regions.

@DearEdisson @hamishgryan @wlemonesc Como todos los imperios coloniales. Rusia simplemente obtuvo sus colonias de territorios contiguos, pero sigue siendo un imperio y sus colonias.

Things look a little different in Russia. If there had been a clear understanding in 1991 that an agreement with Western countries would not work, in particular, to advance NATO to the east and undermine the young post-Soviet regimes, the collapse would never have happened. But it happened, and everyone played a role in it. Back in 2007, Putin warned in Munich about the risks, but that didn't change anything. As a result, Russia would have to assume the role of the main actor in this process. There are many reasons - Ukraine's loss of sovereignty, violation of international treaties, the choice of ultranationalist mediation methods, the unwillingness of Russian regions to remain part of Ukraine, the possibility of the United States deploying its bases and equipment in Crimea. All these events are tragic, but the time for such discussions has already passed. A new reality has emerged in which the topics are already different. It is important to understand that there has always been an opportunity, but for some reason it did not work. Probably, both Ukrainians, Europe, and the United States considered all possible costs acceptable.

@DearEdisson @wlemonesc Was it worth it to fill the best soil in the world with lead and kill millions of your own people? Ukranians are pretty much identical to Russians
