Rule #1. Russia’s traditionalism makes it surprisingly predictable. If Russia surprises you, then you don’t know Russia.
Rule #2. If Russia promises to do something good, it will never do it. Consequence: a treaty with Russia is not worth the paper it is signed on.
Rule #3. If Russia promises not to do something bad, it will definitely do it. Consequence: Russia will do it the moment you decide it will not do it.
Rule #4. If Russia promises to do something bad, it will definitely do it. Consequence: Russia will do it at the most inopportune moment for itself.
Rule #5. If Russia accuses someone of meanness or a crime, then it has already committed it.
Rule #6. If Russia claims that someone is preparing meanness or a crime, then it is preparing them.
Rule #7. If Russia makes an official statement, it is a lie.
Rule #8. Russia does not understand the language of force, it understands only force. The consequence: ultimatums and negotiations with Russia are useless, because it perceives them as a sign of weakness.
Rule #9. If you are afraid of “provoking Russia to escalate”, then you are mistaken. Escalation has been planned by Russia for a long time and does not need an additional reason, pretext or provocation.
Rule #10. If you are still afraid of Russia, then you are doing it in vain. You simply do not know Russia.
It makes me laugh that the Russians are not capable of anything else except scaring us with their nuclear weapon. They have not even managed to take any of the cities with a population of millions in 3 years.
“Great Russia” is worth nothing without Ukraine! They have not won a single war without us. Let’s look at history. The Crimean War was won only thanks to Ukrainians, the revolution was won only because Ukrainians destroyed the White Army, World War II was won only because of Ukrainians (battle under Stalingrad). ‘Russians power’ is illusion and we prove it every single day
alright cool, but do you genuinely think your national might is going to do anything about a thermonuclear bomb? like, maybe it’s time to drop the act and just be an adult?
