[Mr. Smith]

Is this now WW3 starting?

The WWs had all the continents at it, this seems confined to The North.

I don't understand why any countries allow foreign propaganda to be broadcast to its citizens.

By that logic, BBC America ought not exist. And that would be a shame. No DW either for that matter. Both of which are still far more serious or useful than the domestic propaganda we have.

Conversely it would also mean most American TV would never get dubbed or subbed overseas anywhere.

People in the developing world don't care about this war.

You consider The Stans to be in the developed world? Azerbijian and Armenia too?

What about the client states Russia has over the world?

[Mr. Smith]

Putin's lost the use of his right arm:

Didn't something similar happen to Hitler in his last days?

People have said that he is Parkinsonian.

He moved his right arm just fine a few seconds later.

[Mr. Smith]

Russian foreign policy has turned into a carbon copy of the American doctrine of the last 20 years; just replace the Middle East with Africa, Caucasus with LatAm, and I fully expect Belarusian-Russian relations to go the way or Canadian-American relations with time.

The past is the past.

You expect Canada to lose its borders, and Quebecois French to go the way of the Belarussian?

And what's America's China?
