from the comments here, on other threads, it sounds like the russian people are inherently incapable of forming a true nation. they are like jackals, in the ecology of the planet. disgusting but necessary. if other countries won’t adopt and maintain a martial tradition, then they *deserve* to be consumed.

imo, war is the organizing principle of the u.s.a. too, but for different reasons. immigrants that join the military and serve with valor “become” Americans.
