I picture him as blonde with a pony tail...
No, that is exactly the opposite of what I am saying. That scene sums up perfectly the whole problem. You just want debates where you can be the hero that rides in and tells everybody that things will be ok if we just respect the oppressed minority.
I am telling you the repressed minority is infact part of a towelheaded, fanatic majority that wants to wipe you out and I would like to see Russian military footage of him being vapourized. Just for shits and grins

Ireland were the political and economic outcast of Europe after deciding not to join the allies in WW2. The repercussions were felt for years. It still tarnishes Ireland's reputation, and Ireland will always bow down, cap in hand to the evil global administrations, and do whatever they say because of it. Ireland had to lick Europe's arsehole and enter the EEC in the 70s (after being turned down).
Ireland, and all countries want, and need to join the EU otherwise they'll be outcasts and the country will be fucked (moreso than it is already). In an ideal world most people would say "feck Europe", but it's not that simple.
The Germans are still raging the Republic of Ireland didn't declare war on them in 1939? Right.

Westerners must give up on this idea of "universal human rights". The only rights due to citizens are the rights they earn through their service to the society.
But who will decide and police these rights?

I would argue that they didn't skip enlightenment they simply passed through it long before the west, recognized its extremes, and settled for stability over disorder. This is central to their thinking. Like mao said of the French revolution, it is too early to tell.
On the "US skipped civilization" theme. Is that not the problem ? The US is a transplanted colony that have "forgotten" everything that European/Asian society have passed through to get to this point. Therefore they just don't understand the pragmatism needed to negotiate the European/Asiatic mindset. Putin understands this mindset perfectly. He has the centuries of cultural nuance that we all, as Europeans, innately understand.
You are arguing that they went from enlightenment to communism and then to the money God?
If that is the case, who knows where they will go next.
