@Druvius I think you're wrong. He's closer to the statement "We will bury you" than of Gorbachev's views.

@Druvius Kruschev's prediction is still in play so we don't know. At the moment I'd say it looks to be doing quite well.

@Druvius Putin and Russia have already invaded, and continue to occupy Crimea, formerly Ukraine since 2014. Also the year Russian troops shot down a Malaysian Passenger Airline with 300 people on board. Russia has demanded that Ukraine is never a part of NATO or a protected nation. This was a conservative estimate, there's likely 150,000 Troops on the Ukranian Border. Why ? Are they afraid Ukraine is planning an invasion ? Russia has been attacking the United States thru Cyber Warfare, for at least 6 years straight. Including trying to provoke a violent race war in American streets, and certainly behind much of the AntiVax Propaganda, in order to destabilize the American Economy, and bring his Puppet Twitler back into power. Quite a number of Russians were already indicted by the Mueller Report, and the likes of Bannon, Flynn, Manafort, and Stone were all Convicted of "Crimes Against the United States." All in service of Foreign interests. Like Russia and China, which Trump owes hundreds of millions of dollars, to both Putin and Xi. In other words, were already at war. And America is losing. Remember, Stone was with The Proud Boys leadership on Jan 6th. Who just had nearly a dozen people charged with "Seditious Conspiracy". And Flynn called for Martial Law. These Global Gangsters and their Bankers, like Wilbur Ross, and others, have been in on this conspiracy to kill Democracy in America, Europe, and Asia for decades. Including Moscow Mitch and China's Chao, In order to install the real New World Order, Corporate Fascism. Oil, Natural Gas, Mining, and Timber. 61% of Federal Income Taxes goes to the Pentagon, and Defense Contractors. They hate Obama because he ended the War in Iraq. And they hate Biden because he ended the War in Afghanistan. I'm not advocating war, they are. And they've set the stage for it. Just like Trump tried to start a War with Iran, the biggest threat to Bush family business friends, the Saudis. The actual 9/11 Terrorists. Like another person commented, Putin wants to rebuild the old Russian Empire. They've been working on this for Decades. Putin was installed by the old guard, on the 2000 Millennium. After Gorbachev wanted a Western style governance. They've been going backwards ever since. And Republicons have been packing the Courts with Corporate Christians for Decades. This is all a long term plan.

@Druvius Russia took it with troops. That's generally called an invasion.

@Druvius of course, you ignored the rest of my comment.

Yes, if you watch MSNBC and other cable outlets, there have been news reports. Mostly about the negotiation. But, not as a lead story. And, as an example, ABC World News, the highest broadcast viewership, mentioned it in the opening, but didn't get around to the story until the 2nd segment, after the 1st commercial break. And they gave the Russian troops at the Ukrainian border about 90 seconds. Then, talked about the AntiVax tennis star 3 to 4 minutes. And the news continues to talk about it, every day, but not about the Russian military build up. It should be a lead story, with in depth reporting. That was my point, regarding news coverage.
