Igneus Invictus: Russian Anti-American Sentiment

Russian Anti-American Sentiment

While this article in itself is pretty interesting, I found the comments section far more disturbing. I browse foreign nations news sources to get an understanding of world opinion for the United States, so that I can predict how other nations will act. The comments section for Russia Today is entirely Anti-American. That's not really a surprise. The surprise is to what degree. Actively calling for a nuclear war to show the US a lesson? That's terrifying if its a main stream view.

This kind of nationalism could explain Putin's soaring approval ratings.

Global Perspective

I am to bring content focused mainly on analyzing current events. It started as merely a way to keep track of my own sources and resources, as well as a time table of events in an order I can remember intimately.

I view most events in the world through a geopolitical realpolitik lens, and that is the viewpoint from which I deliver. Do not confuse this with my own personal beliefs, for those can be set aside during analysis and discussion, and be changed at the whim of new, compelling evidence.

I welcome all discussion, especially dissenting, provided it is actually well thought out and you have some sources to back up what you're saying (the closer to primary sources, the better).
