“Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” (Important because Russians have a completely different view of history that the West, especially the US and UK, and the Russian view is closer to the facts. As a result, Russia accuses the West of falsifying history to magnify themselves. This leads to erroneous assumptions in the West about what Russians think and how they will act.)

WW3 Watch: The Polish perspective

Oh yes, it sounds as if they are indeed that crazy.
Might be worth keeping an eye on the new TVP World channel – aka Poland’s foreign news service. For those who want to keep an eye on the Polish perspective.

Poland's version of Comical Ali
This is how you make the Population think it is worthwhile for Poland to join a war that they say is a Turkey shoot for Ukraine.
Fecking unbelievable.
WW3 Watch
I was thinking of creating a tag with that name today. We are definitely marching in that direction, no longer slouching toward it.
Aye Tom,
Romania, Moldova and Poland and Middle East to open the war up on 5 fronts.
The Saker doesn't believe Russia has a problem with Poland moving into western Ukraine. If the Ukrainians don't have a problem with it, we're good to go!
US won’t use nukes then Russia will use nukes first then you will say “it was the US!”….
Lock it…
Romania, Moldova and Poland and Middle East to open the war up on 5 fronts.
Don't forget Taiwan and islands of the South China Sea.
NK will likely go for SK, too, once the US is occupied elsewhere.

Oh common, the North Korean army is no match for the South Korean army.
There's a possibility of peace if Washington were too busy to sabotage Korean-led diplomacy.
The war has now entered the spiritual domain. In a MAD world, this is all that matters.
Russia's state TV tells viewers 'we're all going to die someday': Nuclear war is 'most probable outcome', viewers are told, 'but we will go to heaven while they simply croak'
Vladimir Putin will launch an all-out nuclear war on the West rather than accept defeat in Ukraine, Russia's chief propagandists have declared, in just the latest chilling threat coming from Moscow.
Margarita Simonyan, editor of state broadcaster RT and one of the Kremlin's highest-profile mouthpieces, declared on TV last night that the idea of Putin pressing the red button is 'more probable' than the idea that he will allow Russia to lose the war.
'Either we lose in Ukraine,' she said, 'or the Third World War starts. I think World War Three is more realistic, knowing us, knowing our leader.
'The most incredible outcome, that all this will end with a nuclear strike, seems more probable to me than the other course of events.
'This is to my horror on one hand,' she told a panel of experts shifting nervously in their seats, 'but on the other hand, it is what it is. We will go to heaven, while they will simply croak... We're all going to die someday.'
From Pew Research, we have this (2014 article):
Over the past two decades, since the collapse of the Soviet Union, there has been an upsurge in affiliation with Orthodox Christianity in Russia. Between 1991 and 2008, the share of Russian adults identifying as Orthodox Christian rose from 31% to 72%, according to a new Pew Research Center analysis of three waves of data (1991, 1998 and 2008)...
This is not your grandfather's Russia.
Russians Return to Religion, But Not to Church
Oh common, the North Korean army is no match for the South Korean army.

From Sharmine Narwani, a little Chinese girl does geopolitics. Short two-minute video. Cute and very insightful. Basically agrees with what Tom Hickey has been saying and linking to, which is my position also, and opposite of what lastgreek and Matt Franko were saying, i.e., a resource grab by Russia, which is false.

@ Tom,
That report doesn't support your claim, or falsify my claim.
Vladimir Putin will launch an all-out nuclear war on the West rather than accept defeat in Ukraine, Russia's chief propagandists have declared, in just the latest chilling threat coming from Moscow.
