Shocking that in today’s climate, France is still delivering god damned helicopter assault carriers to russia… http://www.project-syndicate.org/commentary/tobias-bunde-et-al-call-for-france--germany--and-poland-to-reassure-member-states-near-russia …

@swombat just like the US/UK delivered to Israel while simultaneously acknowledging they were killing civilians. They are all the same lot.

@OoTheNigerian Israel is a very different, far more complex situation. See http://philip.greenspun.com/politics/israel/ … for a decent analysis.

@SWOMBAT ..these world powers (esp. US) are very hypocritical. their positions do a 180, depending on the situation and how it benefit them

@OoTheNigerian They certainly are hypocritical, but between a US-dominated world and a Russia-dominated world, I know which ones I’d choose.

@swombat I'm happy Russia and China are strong. It keeps the US in check. A dominant US is 'good' until a Palin or McCain is charge...

@swombat ..a US left unchecked even by the "bad guys" is a VERY DANGEROUS entity. As a British man, you have a very different perspective.

@OoTheNigerian a Third World War is worse than all those alternatives, and far more plausible in the "checked" scenario...
