This is pretty big, Echo of Moscow radio station co-owner & a member of the Public Board of the Russian Ministry of Defence tweeted:




I know (and any historian now knows) what role the war in Afghanistan played in the collapse of the USSR. Consider it

Was thinking earlier that this entire charade could lead to a rapid acceptance of Ukraine into NATO.

We are to believe that one of the reasons for Putin’s aggression was that he didn’t want Ukraine to join. Suddenly I think it’s absolutely inevitable they will.
 
These are more formidable then I thought

Good stuff, but posting peoples details was a step back for them. Most Russians dont want this as much as us, sadly the army are being forced by a madman.
It’s the man on the street that needs to sort out the problem
Indeed . See above

I understand why people feel that way, but where does it end? If the logic is

“We can’t get involved with Russia or they’ll use nukes”

Doesn’t that immediately invalidate NATO? Because if it was say, Estonia they invaded, wouldn’t that nuclear threat still exist?

That just means we have to let Russia do what they want when they want or else they’ll use nukes.
That's how it works marra unfortunately and that's why everyone is now scrambling to be part of NATO - it's worth remembering that it works in reverse anarl, Suez or the Second Arab Israeli War involved both France and the UK and the conflict was only stopped after pressure from both Superpowers and more recently the Iran-Saudi Arabia proxy conflict where the US are supporting Saudi and its allies with both Russia and China supporting Iran and it's pals, ironically former Russian PM Dimitry Medvedev has recently categorised this as the 'New Cold War'...I've a funny feeling mind that it may soon warm up along with China/Taiwan to take some of the worlds attention from Ukraine, time tells but it'll be interesting that's for sure.

He's previously spoken positively about Putin but now says the soviet-afghanistan was a big reason why the ussr collapsed. The Radio station is the biggest commercial one in Moscow and owned by Gazprom.
his twitter's in Russian obvs, but even so it seems clearly anti the invasion?
