Yes. Absolutely. And I submit the one we had was good and showed every sign of continuing to improve. Not just for the west, but also the population of Russia. I suspect that now that moment in time could end up being as good as it was going to get.
Sorry, but I regard your assertion that Russian was under threat, and in imminent danger, as just Putin propaganda. Nobody gave a fuck about the idea of invading Russia. Absurd. They have over 6000 nuclear weapons FFS.
If you truly want to understand why these events have happened you only need to research Mr Putin's life, career and his expressed dreams in numerous statements/speeches.
It seems to be the fate of virtually all dictators, they come to believe in their own infallibility and righteousness. Usually accompanied with a total lack of regard for the devastating consequences. Millions have died, sometimes on the behest of a single man.
Anyway. Should, as you seem to be saying, we end up with Russia using a nuclear weapon, which I think could be entirely possible - the Russian population are already being primed with talk of western nuclear "blackmail" - then Mr Putin will be signing his own redundancy notice and Russia will be a friendless, pariah state for generations.
Keeping up with this thread, if you don't, like GR/Lordo, spend your life on it, can be problematic. Half a dozen pages movement isn't unusual.
You earlier made some mention of RH.
I urge caution. Mr W and I squabbled on the internet for a decade. My view is - like Las Vegas - that's where it belongs and should stay. He though tended to get very angry, lost sleep over it and spent a lot of time on efforts to "get back". That seems to still be the situation (your DT mates accidentally fingered you
). His usual MO is to wind up third parties and point them in my direction. From the safety of his keyboard of course. He's been chucked off one forum for sending me a borderline criminal threat that his Russian, Polish and Cypriot "mates" would come after me. Although, after numerous RH "events", where members and even a sponsor left the forum, the owner was really just looking for a reason to ban him.
I regard it as very unfortunate because when we actually got together - for a considerable time - I think we had a rapport and I liked the man. The ridiculous thing is that after our tete-a-tete arguments over - I really can't remember what - he decided to leave anyway.
So, bear in mind what you might just happen to hear is just one side of a story. Basically though, don't end up being used.
