??? "invades a country. Raping, murdering, and kidnapping tens of thousands of children to be raised in the homeland in the process. And expresses the aspiration to "reunite" what he considers his land further. Explicitly citing countries that are members of the EU AND NATO. I think I can draw certain parallels."
Where were the Russian troop formations in combat in Korea?
I never said it wasn't an existential threat. I'm saying that even when one deals with existential threats one can use prudence.
By the way, come to think of it. During the Cold War Russian and Us forces were in contact all the time. Be it on land, air, sea or under it.
I guess we have different understanding as what an existential threat is. If my neighbor poses an existential threat to my family, I will destroy them, burn down their house and salt their graves.
Well, if you know that that neighbor thinks the same and is armed to the teeth, I doubt you would ask him for a duel at high noon. You would try to "burn down their house and salt their grave" in a way that doesn't get you killed in the process.
And La-11's. Just said.
What is more important, they do speak the same language and they are people of more or less same culture. It's more Civil war, rather than invasion in a really alien environment.
Well, what about comparing the mujahedeen and VC's military capabilities, with those of a modern army armed with drones, tanks, and other sophisticated weapons supplied by Western nations. Isn't that militarily stupid?
So, we do have different interpretation what constitutes an "existential threat"
Sure. The US economy is so bad they can't sustain a war against a country that has the GDP of the Benelux. While by the way Europe is footing half the bill.
Where has the US and Russia openly met in a combat zone in Ukraine. Otherwise why would it be relevant?
