Why the West Hates Russia - Netanyahu is Furious | MIT Prof. Ted Postol

Theodore Postol is Professor of Science, Technology and National Security Policy in the Program in Science, Technology, and Society at MIT. He did his undergraduate work in physics and his graduate work in nuclear engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. After receiving his Ph.D., Dr. Postol joined the staff of Argonne National Laboratory, where he studied the microscopic dynamics and structure of liquids and disordered solids using neutron, x-ray and light scattering, along with computer molecular dynamics techniques. Subsequently he went to the Congressional Office of Technology Assessment to study methods of basing the MX Missile, and later worked as a scientific adviser to the Chief of Naval Operations. After leaving the Pentagon, Dr. Postol helped to build a program at Stanford University to train mid-career scientists to study developments in weapons technology of relevance to defense and arms control policy. In 1990 Dr. Postol was awarded the Leo Szilard Prize from the American Physical Society. In 1995 he received the Hilliard Roderick Prize from the American Association for the Advancement of Science and in 2001 he received the Norbert Wiener Award from Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility for uncovering numerous and important false claims about missile defenses.

CzaR Alexander II, called the Freer of the Serfs, assisted President Abraham Lincoln during the Civil War by sending the Russian fleet whilst he himself was sort of sitting on France and Britain. The Civil War was partly about ending slavery, but the rich didn't like that too much (and had the nerve to see to that they got compensation for it instead of the slaves being compensated). President Lincoln was killed in 1865 (by the Jesuits), and the assassination of CzaR Alexander II succeeded in 1881. Feudalism in Europe wasn't too good, and our new feudal status isn't good either.

[@joshtep6784]

Russia has autonomous republics within its greater federation. What NATO and the Western world has shown time and time again, is that having a neutral buffer state is no longer a viable solution. Look at the situation between China and Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, and North Korea serve as buffer states and that is enough for Russia to feel secure in its Eastern flank. NATO violated not only the Minsk accords, but the promise made to the Soviet Union if it allowed for the reunification of Germany to occur. Realistically, Russia will have to swallow the entirety of Ukraine and break it up into various provinces within the federation. Let the Poles and Germans deal with the Banderites because more than likely, that is where they will flee too once this is all over. This current war has even shown that NATO's military application of Romania, a historic buffer state between the Tsars and the Ottomans is a threat, so therefore, Russia must incorporate Transnistria, followed by Moldova.
