Re: Russian-Ukranian War: Geopolitical Fallout

There is no chance of WW3. If Russia can’t win on the ground using conventional means, then sadly yes, there is a high possibility of WW3, or more likely a limited “counterforce” style nuclear exchange that kills just a few million people (mainly military personnel and the people living in close pr...

Re: Eastern Europe/Ukraine [Feb 6th 2015]

I have to say the Russian people have surprised even me with this surge in patriotism. They seem to have truly entered a “Great Patriotic War” mindset now. The West commands nowhere near this level of patriotic fervor from their own populace.
