Interesting my friend but not surprised. WW1 escalated because Russia supported Serbia after the assassination of Franz Ferdinand and his wife by a Serbian nationalist.

Millions died in a futile conflict. Please God we are not going there again.

Yeah, though big difference, back then Russia was part of powerful alliance (with France and Britain), today they are isolated and alone

Pan Slavism isn't the force it once was, luckily. And the mad system of alliances that dragged the whole continent into ww1 are gone too.

The terrorists who did 9/11 had thier reasons too. You can give all the reasons you want. Two cities worth if civilians. Incinerated alive. Targeting civilians to get what you want is the definition of terrorism. Whatever the reasons the terrorist give to justify. They wanted to cost maximum civilian casualties and maximum damage to get the point across.


They could have demonstrated thier new found power in a better way than killing two cities of civilians. It was pure evil no matter what reason like ending a war sooner to stop more military casualties.

Killing innocent civilians is never acceptable no matter what the circumstances. The problem is that war brings a complete loss of normality.

The war industry is rubbing it's hands as innocent people are killed.

If the videos of protests in Moscow are accurate and not some anti mask or vaccine protest that's been falsely claimed as anti war on social media then hopefully things go south for Putin within Russia.

Don’t worry, I doubt if those people will be seen by their families let alone be broadcast around the world in the near future

Pan-Slavism was pretty much a weapon (from Russia point of view) too feck up Austro-Hungarian Empire, whose population was half Slavic.

They pretty much tried to disunite and demoralize A-H Empire (that was like most diverse country in Europe), with a same tactic they now using to disunite Europe and NATO, powerful propaganda machine

Swift-ban will come to nothing:
Europe, with all the nice anti war rethorics, is already admitting it doesn't want to hurt itself a bit in solidarity with Ukraine.
Aeroflot cannot land anymore in the UK .. does that include private jets from oligarchs.
