Related: About this forumWill Russia Revolt? Garry Kasparov
Seems to be more about pushing the US to call Putin's bluff. I am still torn on this. Seems as long as Putin is bogged down in Ukraine his hole gets deeper but I am open to hearing both sides more and more on this.

And he has the nerve to accuse Ukraine leaders of being Nazis.
Why do the masses seem so gullible?

Stupidity and poorly educated are the biggest driving factors....

(9,110 posts)4. I was asking because we are so plagued by the same problem.
I've always thought religion was at the heart of it.
