The USSR was totally a friend to the global lower class, largely because I think they realized it was a great way to fight the capitalist status quo. Any time said global lower class decided they didn't like the soviets they had a pretty fair chance of having their own form of 'police actions' done on them. They also backed a ton of awful regimes.

It is an interesting perspective though. There's nobody around anymore that backs the sort of groups that the USSR did. Nobody cares to, or for that matter has anything to gain, by backing communist rebels anywhere.

So yeah like that rad cool guy said, seeing it as black and white for either side without nuance is dumb. I honestly, legitimately, think we'd be better off of the USSR hadn't collapsed though. I'll take a bipolar world with kinda-sorta criminal superpowers over a nasty clusterfuck. God the way things are going to, we're going to go from one democratic superpower and one communist one to everyone just being fascist through and through.

Yeah I know people who grew up in the Baltics in the time of the USSR and no nice words have been said. To be fair, the oldest is late 40s, but there is a LOT of bad blood.

Imo NATO should just agree that Ukraine won't join like Russia claims it's all they want and then make mutual defense pacts between Ukraine and every country in NATO.

Maybe this idea is a little late because they already delivered a message to Russia yesterday saying they wouldn't promise that Ukraine won't join NATO at some point

No not really. Just a loss of credibility I guess. And to make it credible Ukraine would have to believe it too which they wouldn't like

quote:

Ukraine tends to experience a hard winter freeze by January at the latest, but this year, the ground has yet to freeze in various parts of the country due to mild winter weather.

Frozen ground, which is neither ice nor mud, allows troops, as well as heavy military vehicles and equipment, to maneuver more easily. Mud, however, can cause heavy wheeled vehicles to loose traction, and even tracked vehicles like tanks can be affected if the mud goes deep enough.

US officials told The New York Times that there may be a limited window for an invasion, as muddy ground could lead Russian President Vladimir Putin to delay any planned ground offensive until February at the earliest. They added that he would likely need to act before the spring thaw in March, when the Russian military could face another muddy situation.
