“The Russians are busy arming our enemies”
- American companies trade with Iran...
“They may be part of Western Civilization, but Western Civilization has often torn itself apart with internal wars.”
- Very true, but the forces that today threaten Russia are very much the same as the ones that threaten Western Europe and the US.
Western Europeans and Americans should try and refrain from attacking Russia verbally and instead watch what, eventually, could develop out of mutual understanding and consideration.
The Russians have a culture of their own that they, rightfully, always will strive to maintain.
Let’s remember that this, per se, is very honorable.
However, when all of The West is endangered, all of The West must remain united!
Civilization will not come to an end.
“Perhaps you’ve heard of it, NATO, even though Sweden couldn’t be bothered to join.”
We don’t need the NATO to defend Civilization in our part of the world.
We might be a nation of a mere 9 million inhabitants, but we also got what it takes to remain a nation.

Yeah well the problem with that is the Russians themselves who seem to have only their might and threat to soothe their self-esteem issues.

“where did alaska come from? I thought we bought it from the russians..............”
- A Blind Man Could See This One Coming.
Alaska once was Russian territory, that is true, but it was never integrated culturally with the rest of Russia.
“Hmmmm....interesting and puzzling....didn’t one of your (early 70s-Palme????) PM, greatly admired the U.S.S.R....(no insult intended).”
- Our former PM Palme expressed a great deal of admiration of the Soviet Union and because of this he is still hated in Sweden.
are you saying it is not even worth a try?
