#1 The "Cognitive Elites" that run "The West" have marked Russia for destruction---just as they earlier marked Israel for destruction. However, unlike Israel, Russia has both the means and the will to strike back.

#2 Paranoia strikes deep. Into your heart it will creep. It starts when you're always afraid...

#3 Putin is really a fool. Right now the West is in a 70 year battle with Islam that we are losing. France and England will fall within 20 years by virtue of muslim births alone. We are reliving the last war with Islam. But back to Putin. If he just sat tight, focused on his economy, infrastructure, corruption, and military he could fix his broken nation. He could spend the next 50 years developing his nation into the next world power and dominate the world. But alas, he is too petty.

#4 Nonsense, 49 Pan. West is not at war with Islam---if West wasn't ruled by tranis, the cockroaches of Islam would be afraid to stick their heads out of their holes. West (the ideas of individual freedom & responsibility) is at war with Transnational Progressivism---and it's loosing.

#5 Russia has two issues to think about. (1) Their own population numbers aren't looking so great. Putin needs to promote ethnic Russians to have multiple children or they will be swamped as well (2) He needs to wrap up whatever he is doing in Ukraine before the next US election. If he's smart, he'd do so long before so the new President is facing a 'fact' and not a fluid situation they can hope to mess with.

#6 Islam is at war with the West. The so called leaders of the West are in denial about Islam. It is really bad to have an enemy at war with you, and you cannot name your mortal enemy who vows to kill you. It is not O alone who is guilty of this. Our so called European allies are the same.

As far as Russia goes, it has acted like a full grown abused child, invaded by Mongol hordes, Germans, French, et al. Russia has been ruled by despots for generations, and Putin is just the latest. Same old behaviors. Bound to be repeated despite great national consciences, like Dostoyevsky, Tolstoy, Solzhenitsyn, Sakarov, et al. Very tragic, but Russia has developed tragedy to an art form.

#7 More accurately, RUSSIA needs to make more Babies whom will also grow up to be Orthodox andor Christian believers.

Having + raising Milyuhns-n-Dilyuhns of GOVT-DEPENDENT ATHIEST-SECULARIST KIDDIES = TOTALITARIAN NEUTRALISTS isn't gonna save Russia + Russian Orthodox Christianity in the LR.

#8 Lest we fergit, TOPIX [old = repost]> RUSSIA DOES NOT HAVE THE RESOURCES FOR A MILITARY OCCUPATION OF UKRAINE - MOSCOW MILITARY EXPERT SAYS.

To truly save Russia, Darth Vlad has to have a higher agenda or priority than just MilPol bullying or even dominating the Ukraine + Turkey + Germany + ultimately NATO-EU.
