Hello, members of the Warsaw Pact! I am the leader of The Rouge Nation of Ukbekistan. We joined your region because of our respect for national sovereignty. Ukbekistan plans on staying neutral in all international conflicts, besides conflicts where our borders are threatened. I would like to thank you all for inviting us to your region. We hope to become a bigger part of the WP as we iron out some of the issues that come with founding a new nation.

Life is an incredible journey made up of colours and adventures. The best part is that you get to make your own choices from day one despite what others will tell you. It is the quest to have freedom and security while trapped within the confines of society. Society is at its best a civilized prison system and at its worst a living hell. It is what drives us, controls us, and forces us into our lives.

We are forced to live within these human made bounds that serve to oppresses us so that others can feel better about themselves. It is the psychotic notion that we must stop evolving and advancing so that we can have security and protection despite the fact that society is what causes a need for these things.

I agree with your notions on the function of society.

That moment when the news says Putin wants to invade the Baltics...

This is propaganda. Plain and simple. Given the recent tensions between the West and Russia, it honestly looks the west wants conflict or at least wants to treat the Russians like a boogeyman. And yes, while Russia isn't the world power that people claim them to be when in need of a boogeyman, they are strong nevertheless, have a lot of tanks, a nuclear arsenal, and if we want to take them out completely we're going to be marching men through Siberia. And the west still thinks they're the sh#t. I mean, look at post-WW1 Germany. Stripped of world power status after the collapse of their previous government, and yet still had the ability to almost bring the world to its knees. Plus, the sanctions placed on Russia are putting strains on its economy- the same happened with the Wiemar Republic due to reparations. And yet the Germans still became as strong as they did. I'm not saying the Russia wants conflict with the west- regardless of who would win, the tensions for now seem largely like two guys trying to take the piss out of eachother because the hold a grudge. Honestly, if war happens now, it's not going to be a fight against atrocity and aggression like world war 2. It's going to be a pointless fight for the interests of those in power, like WW1.

I know older people say we have no sense of duty as a generation, but I really don't wanna fight the Russians for the West when our governments expect us to believe their garbage and think that the Russians are some evil invade-everything neo-Bolshevik dragon. I'd fight a legit fascist government (or maybe those right-wing coup de'tat dictators that the US props up in and latin America and other places for "strategic reasons") or those complete nutters in ISIS, but fighting because of geopolitical butthurt is not something that is going to phase me. If anything, if war somehow happens, I'd rather support the actual people fighting and dying, who have more in common with the common people on the other side than their own leaders (see: Christmas truce). Screw our government. Screw their government. We're being shafted again and again already, and it's their fault. If we have to have people die, let's have it be for something that benefits us all, mkay?

I agree.Even if Russia is the strongest military power in Europe,their leader is not mad or crazy.Putin is in a centre-right to right-wing party,so explain me how could he even think of re-estabilishing the USSR?Even if he would,he doesn't have all the power in Russia.There is a prime-minister,other ministers,councilors and stuff.Even if he wanted to invade the baltics,Poland or Romania,he can't do it without help from other people.And,if you remember,in 2014 Russia send an aid convoy in Ukraine.And the rebels have said in some kind of interview that they want to be completely independent from Russia,so i really doubt Russia reaching my country's borders.If they do,they would have no reason to attack Romania,as the population of Russians in Romania is under 0,2%.As Seb said,i wouldn't fight for my government,but to defend myself.If any country would attack my town,may it be USA,Hungary,Russia or Germany,if i am an adult,i would join the resistance and become a partisan.Of course,joining the military of a nation isn't such a bad thing itself,unless you become brainwashed and you fight for their interests instead of protecting your country,family and stuff.

People fight, people die, it's pretty normal. Until it's the people close to me fighting and dying there's nothing I really can do.

People like to say the world is f--ked. Is it? Nah. People can just remember a time when they didn't think there was as much fighting and dying going on as there is now.

Yeah. I meant if, god forbid, the people close to you are the ones fighting and dying all of a sudden, and who your allegiance would go to in that situation.
Also, western propaganda. It's a thing- after all, we're not entirely free, as freedom is a relative term.

Nah, the world is still f'd eventually unless/until we reach some magical post-scarcity wonderland, in which case the state can become a dissolving vanguard and we can all live in peace. But, I hate to say it, that's not going to happen for millennial, seeing as every time something bad happens we keep getting pushed back. Like those jellyfish whose bodies flap back and forth- they move forward, but they'd go further if they didn't flap backwards, but they can't help it.
To quote George Orwell- If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face — forever.

As you say, Putin's not mad or crazy, but he and his supporters do have lion's share of the power. He's also demonstrated he does have some aggressive tendencies in his foreign policy - not just in Ukraine; I remember when I was about 10, hearing about the Russo-Georgian War on a plane back from Australia - and while he clearly doesn't align with the Communists, he does have a, perhaps slightly paradoxical, nostalgic relationship with that era of "greatness" in Russian history. He really doesn't like former Soviet Republics being too independent of Russia. On the other hand, I don't think the Baltic states are a likely target.

The thing with Ukraine which the Western media neglects to mention, is that there really are a lot of ethnic Russians there; Stalin had a tendency to shift populations around en masse. It's also a matter of tradition; in a broad historical sense, Ukraine and Russia (and Belarus, for that matter, though they haven't displayed Ukraine's split will and are largely content to be influenced chiefly by Russia) all trace their roots back to the Rurik Dynasty of Kievan Rus. Were Putin a bit more of a historian we might find him claiming Scandinavia too, since the Rurik Dynasty were essentially Vikings (those guys got around!), but thankfully he's largely focused on Russia's "little sister".

My general point is to say that there is a lot of context to Putin's aggression in Ukraine which the Western media is content largely to ignore, however Putin is one of the more dangerous world leaders (I'd argue second only to Obama, though that's more by merit of being US president than whatever his own goals may be) of today. The unfortunate thing is that, while large parts of Ukraine would like to be provinces of Russia, other large parts wouldn't, and it's unlikely we'll see a compromise create a comfortable split.

So it's quite an awkward situation, because God knows America's arrogant policy of policing the world has done precious little good over the years, but on the other hand I really think Putin needs to be shown he can't get away with this sort of thing. Acting as NATO has its own historical issues, since NATO amounts to nothing much more or less than an anti-Russian alliance in its nature and origin. Fundamentally, though, I think our leaders are given only to take sensible quantities of action when it's too late. Let's not forget that the human rights violations within Russia, with the state-encouraged assault of LGBT people, sketchy killings such as Litvinenko over the years and such stenches of authoritarianism as the arrest of Pussy Riot members, didn't bother the IOC in the least.

Probably some spelling/grammar issues there, I basically just dumped a disorganised mess on the screen because I haven't time to be writing essays just now.

Aaaand as of today I own 6 guitars.

Well, to be able to use a guitar is to be able to play a guitar. You play instruments, singing is through your mouth.

It's no issue at all. Be as radical or as strange as you want- we don't give a damn.
