      Depends. It might startle people at first, but a lot of people did view the USSR as the next enemy even in 46, and if you added 84 years from now anyone who remembers their history classes would just shrug and assume a new collection of weird alliances.
      They'd probably be more surprised to learn that everyone in Europe was totally unprepared for this after 84 years of at least notional peace on most of the continent.

      “The Capitalists will sell us the rope with which we will hang them.”
      “Capitalists can buy themselves out of any crisis, so long as they make the workers pay” - a version of "Privatize the profits, socialize the costs"

Ukrainian's military is so much more organized than russians, after the annexation of Krime and they are defending, which is a huge advantage (not for the civillians, ofcourse...). Russia most likely won't attack Poland (too risky, both a NATO and EU nation AND the Baltic countries are an easier prey if putin wants more land for his delusional dreams of renewed CCCR) Don't worry too much about the nuclear weapons. Only a complete madman would use it in this day and age and they would have to face all the consequences (like open war with NATO, which Russia has no hope at all to win).

    I live in Groningen, basically on top of the gas field. Recent polls have shown that a majority of citizens here now support extracting more gas to decrease our dependency on Russia, and I agree with this. However, this will mean that the government has to invest more into making buildings earthquake-proof and compensating people, which it obviously does not want to do. So it took years to get recognition and compensation for the damage up until now, let alone the damage that extracting more gas will cause. For years it felt as if the national government spent the money it made from extracting gas on things that did not benefit the locals at all. If we had been quickly and adequately compensated from the start, the problem would have been much less severe. But now I can already predict the protests that will occur over the next 10 years.

      Two is that Russia and Ukraine combined produce the most than any other country and countries combined even except China, but she isn't relevant to the discussion, and we are grouping them together because neither can export in the situation the two face.

    Just a pedantic side-note: Francis Fukuyama didn't "unilaterally declare the end of history." His thesis wasn't "Russia will never pose a threat again" or "major historical events will cease occurring from this point forward." He wasn't referring to that kind of history: the history of wars, conflict, and historical change. That sort of history will never come to an end. Fukuyama was referring instead to the historical progression toward an ultimate final form of government.
    In *The End of History and the Last Man* (which has to rate among the most misunderstood books ever written), Fukuyama considered the possibility that, with the death of the Soviet system, viable and legitimate alternatives to liberal democracy had effectively ceased to exist. He concluded that the only viable, legitimate form of government left was liberal democracy. He wasn't wrong about that. All dictators worth their salt at least pay lip service to democracy, or claim that their system is the *real* form of democracy. And for that reason (among many others), such regimes struggle with legitimacy. Other systems (communism and fascism) do not appear to work in practice and therefore are not viable (not to mention the legitimacy issues they suffer from). Liberal democracy remains the only system that can stake credible claims to legitimacy and long-term viability, ergo: we have arrived at an *apparent* end to a *very specific* sense of history. Fukuyama at no point claims that wars will stop happening after 1991.

      @5LAMPO7 Merkel wanted to bring Russia into the globalist system. She hoped that, once integrated, they could be forced to tow the line. Being heavily integrated with the west's financial system is exactly what allows USA, UK and other western countries to implement effective sanctions, but Putin is liberating Russia from the need to be involved with the west, thus taking back Russian sovereignty. Merkel didn't count on Putin implementing measures to increase Russia's self-sufficiency, even as Europe handed theirs over to Russia. Russia now produces most of what it needs domestically. What it doesn't produce domestically, it can get from friendly countries, like China and India.
      Just look at the Ruble - Yes, it took a hit when the sanctions were imposed, but it has almost fully recovered already to where it was before this round of sanctions in the few weeks that have passed since. Blocking SOME Russian banks from SWIFT (not the ones Europe needs to pay for Russia's biggest exports - oil and gas) is just leading to the development of alternative inter-bank messaging systems, such as the one China has developed. Russia even developed a small one of their own. Russia and China are quickly abandoning the western economic order, and as they do, sanctions do less and less damage to them. Other countries are increasingly following their lead.
      What next? After USA and the west abused their position as leaders of the global order, other countries are revolting and building a whole new one. The US/Western Empire is crumbling, and the Sino-Russian empire is rising.

      Indeed, lets not forget "outside forces" overthrowing the govt of ukraine in 2014. Some here go deep n dirty there, theyll do anything not to be exposed. Have a look at patrick lancaster hes been there for the last 8 years. Funny how many views this vids got. 🤔

      @@ByZHellas I think Putin was under lots of pressure domestically. A war distracts his people and his propaganda machine whips them up into nationalist and false patriotic frenzy. I don't know what the past eight years have to do with Putin's illegal invasion. Russia has always been invading an taking from their neighbors.

      Ehhhhhh.... 'Dependant' is a very strong word, it's just cheaper gas. Germany was Russias biggest customer and in less than a year later they don't buy a single drop from Russia and their energy output was still more than enough to send some to France.
      If anything Russia became 'dependant' on Europe to keep it's one note economy afloat.

      Trouble with German coal is that it's trash. Sludgy brown lignite with poor energy density and high toxicity. If Germany must use more of it, they're going to need to refine CO2 capture tech.

    "War is destructive. It is destructive to both the winner and the loser, and it sows the seeds for future conflict. The damage is not only to material things, but to the nature and character of entire nations of people who are traumatized. Humanity has not matured enough nor has grown in wisdom enough to recognize the absolute truth of this."

      the NATO is not defensive, the USA, the NATO leader, started "defensive"wars all over the world the last decades in order to free those poor people, and killed thereby thousands. That they deeply want to see Russia fall, does not it better. When there is a fitting time, USA would just again switch everythign accordign to their own wishes and needs and start a war, while giving others the fault. Thats what they always do.
      Also, NATO was created by the USA in order to be able to fight Russia. Another reason why Russia does not like the fact that they come closer and closer. Check your facts and try to look at both sides next times
