    Has the entire Ukrainian crisis been a fantastic case of maskirovka on the part of NATO?

    Some subtle prodding of the Russian bear and manipulation of media to paint Putin's Russia as the aggressor. This article gives a fascinating perspective on the flipside of our EU-centric views.

    It takes two to tango.

    Russia Cannot win a Conventional war with the EU and will not try.

    I haven't heard anything about Ukraine or Crimea in ages, now that you mention it.

    Maybe it wasn't such a big deal after all and someone in the media thought it would be a good idea to stir shíte.

    No there isn't. No one wants a major war. Most countries are deeply interconnected economically and tradewise. Not to mention cultural links and descendents etc.

    This blip is temporary insanity that is curable through honest negotiations and compromise.

    How old is too old to be conscripted? I'm 30 and am eager to please MILFs on the homefront.

    I work in Poland and there's a lot of concern here. They have home defense militias being set up and citizens joining gun clubs. Lots of nerves here.

    You're living in a country which has only existed in it's current form for a few years. It will get bigger and smaller as time goes on, just like in the past. History does not stand still.

    In 1492, the territory of Poland-Lithuania - not counting the fiefs of Mazovia, Moldavia, and East Prussia - covered 1,115,000 km2 (431,000 sq mi), making it the largest territory in Europe; by 1793, it had fallen to 215,000 km2 (83,000 sq mi), the same size as Great Britain, and in 1795, it disappeared completely.[4] The first 20th-century incarnation of Poland, the Second Polish Republic, occupied 389,720 km2 (150,470 sq mi), while, since 1945, a more westerly Poland covered 312,677 km2 (120,725 sq mi).[5]

    The Baltic states are nervous as well. Everyone feels South Ossetia and Crimea were just the starter. Belarus, Poland and others are the main course.

    You are probably as far away from South Ossetia as you are from Ireland. A little local difficulty in Central Europe is par for the course and hardly any indicator of Global Conflict Number Three.

    A Third World War is sorely needed. It's benefits will be wide reaching. Just like the two before it.

    Firstly it will thin out the herd.

    It will advance science and medicine.

    That's a very simplistic view.

    It was a little "local difficulty" in what we called the Polish Corridor that sparked off the largest war the world has ever seen.

    Well, correct on point one, but if the war is fierce enough and goes nuclear, technology and medicine will be back to the stone age!

    It is in every nations interest to go nuclear.
    When a nation gets the bomb, no one ****s with them.
    Ukraine's biggest mistake was giving up their nuclear arsenal.
    Best advice for Poland, Baltic States etc, is to buy some nukes.
