> today Russia

Not exactly the fittest nor really that into survival (suicidal masochism would be a better description)

Time will tell but i bet Russia and China will end up with more land. I hate it but that's the reality.

The West can't even handle China's junior, North Korea.

Out of all places do you think Russia is the one which needs more land?

Maybe because “the West” doesn’t want to “handle” North Korea (whatever that means)?

I’m sorry but I really don’t understand what are you trying to say..

>> Out of all places do you think Russia is the one which needs more land?

I don't but the ongoing war is for more land

>> Maybe because “the West” doesn’t want to “handle” North Korea (whatever that means)?

NK is propped up by China to distract USA and it's allies. As planned it's worked and USA has no answer to that problem and yet makes bold promises to Taiwan.

I'm just trying to say that strongest country wins no matter what. It's nothing to do with morals. Better strengths ones country in good times.

> I don't but the ongoing war is for more land

I don’t think more land per se is the objective.

> As planned it's worked and USA has no answer to that problem

What problem is that? I don’t think US pays that much attention to NK.

From that perspective US has been much more successful than China. The existence of Taiwan as an independent state is a much, much bigger issue for for them than NK is for US.

Wins what? We’re not living in a grand strategy video game.

Your point on many Europeans seeing Churchill as a saviour and not caring about his victims in colonies is just normal by historical (and modern) times. Romans were proud of all the genocides Caesar committed (and proudly self documented). See for example his own account of the Gallic wars and the killing of women and children of tribes from current day Switzerland (the Helvetii). Obama destroyed multiple countries (non-European) and killed and displaced millions and is considered a hero as well in the West like Churchill is. Joe Biden took all the reserves of extremely poor Afghanistan and is starving 40 million people to there to death today. He is considered a hero in the West as well. So like most things it all depends on where you are and who you talk to and their background (European and non-European for example).

Americans in general (and the US mainstream media in their coverage) frame deaths emanating from the US (and it’s close allies) as collateral damage, killed terrorists, eliminated insurecctionists or mistakes or just even ignore it by omissions. From other countries that are not “allies” they are victims or murdered innocents or massacres or genocides etc… Just look at the favorable coverage of Madeleine Albrights death who said in her very own words that she owned to killing 500,000 Iraqi babies and children and said it was well worth it.
