Hollande: ".Our pre-emptive surrender notice. There are NGO's and political parties that specialise in issuing idiotic condemnations of one sort or another, sometimes competing about who can issue a more idiotic condemnation than the others, and most of the time they target fellow western governments with their idiotic condemnations.Ĭlick to shrink.And this time, they aren't even trying.
Who does it need to be buffered from so much?Īs for "the West" condemning this and that, note that the West is not a hivemind, or a mirror image of USSR, with a central party committee gathering somewhere and deciding it's future foreign policy. It has plenty of land to spare, a decent army, and powerful nuclear arsenal.
Out of all countries in the world that would need buffer states for their security, Russia would be near the end of the list. Hell, NATO can't bring itself to seriously stomp down on ISIL, and that's just a bunch of terrorists pretending to be a state who don't even have an air force and are giving North Korea a run for its title as the worst government in the world. Click to shrink.What do you mean by "bringing democracy into Russia"? Does anyone seriously think that NATO is going to pull an Iraq against a the largest country in the world that's also a major nuclear power?
