So now having a discussion is you doing homework for me?
The Reagan speech is given far more weight than it deserves. The war in Afghanistan that I referred to was Russia’s war, which showed Russia’s satellites that the Russian Army was ineffective and spent. That silly speech had no power compared to these powerful historical forces.
My neighbor teaches Russian history at a prestigious university–Russia is Russia is his line, meaning it stays the same no matter what it looks like to the outside world.
The truth is, you can’t even name any piece of diplomacy that was effective regarding Russia and China–and that would certainly shoot down your notion that such tools can be effective presently if they were never effective in the past. Also shot down is your pretension that you care about human rights.
So, if you can’t man up and have this discussion then that’s it. I guess we’ll meet again next Pajamas has an article about the bias of Amnesty International.
