RT by @BruceDGilley: India in camp of opportunist fence-sitting. At least Nehru had ideological commitment to his beloved Soviets. Always happy to condemn West re Suez, etc, till he needed US air support in China War.

Disgusted by cowardice of NHL players like Ovechkin who hide behind "family reasons" to endorse Putin's war while enjoying the benefits of free society. Put them on the sanctions list and send them back to the KHL.

The American left, including Noam Chomsky, has imagined "US-backed coups" (a fine fudge term) everywhere there have been popular movements against illiberal regimes, including Ukraine in 2014. They are as much enemies of Western liberal society as the IR realists.

No country has the right to tell liberal society where it cannot spread to, including to its own society. Do left radicals like Noam Chomsky and right isolationists like John Mearsheimer really think the people of Ukraine deserve less? Taiwan too?

RT by @BruceDGilley: My uncle just told me about how he prayed for his homosexual rooster because he did not want him to be homosexual, but it didn't work and then a car ran over him.

The abuse of history that History Reclaimed opposes can go much further than merely ‘culture wars’. As we have seen over the last few days, it can be used to justify real wars too, as in Putin’s historicised ramble through a Russian vision of geopolitics.
