Putin prefers Trump. The same joke repeated dozen of times? Does not look like a joke really. Lavrov with daughter living in New York, Peskov with daughter living in Paris and other elite with hostages in western countries - all of them are dreaming to freeze the conflict - this is exactly what Trump wants. But not Putin. Putin`s dream is to fight and to restore USSR. Edited September 24 by zmisha 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We see that the format of joke is very convenient excuse to safely speak what he really thinks. Edited September 24 by zmisha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are quick to render help, to go to help an elderly person who falls or to put their lives at risk. Compare that to other cultures where people will walk on by someone injured or in need of help after a car crash. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh are countries notorious for people who will just stop and stare at someone in need of assistance, not rendering assistance. 2 hours ago, rabas said: And here it comes.

I doubt a soldier of one country can be ordered to pretend to be a member of another country's military, and if captured their inability to speak Ukrainian would doom them. 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zmisha Posted September 25 Share Posted September 25 1 hour ago, candide said: However we don't like them as a group or nation. You should know the main basic thing of geopolitics - there are no friends among countries - all the countries are competitors (= enemies) and, consequently, don't like one another as groups or nations. Yes, this is that simple. But sometimes competitors work together to defeat other competitor. That is called "friends" but it does not mean actually "friends". What are examples of friends in the modern world? US and UK? Maybe but if you think a bit - you will find that a lot of countries that were colonies of British Empire in the past are now pseudo-colonies of US. So what will happen if one day US become weaker than UK? The later will grab the former by the throat and the reason named will be something about democracy human rights etc... But the underlying reason will be that UK never forget who stole its colonies. In the times of WW2 UK US and USSR were "friends". This is another example of this simple geopolitical rule. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
