More material on up and coming countries.
To do:
Research some economic related material
Have you bothered to research Conservapedia's entry on Euromaidanpress?
This is insane. You collect the names of academics and researchers I use as sources, then take out of context quotes like Mearsheimer saying "Russia is a declining power" and spam it as justification for war against Russia. I will contact the owner of the website if you persist in this trolling. RobSThe Truth. Just Putin It Out There 13:58, February 2, 2025 (EST)
Are you going to purge all the USAID-funded crap from this page, or continue attacking the conservative movement and Trump agenda?
If the page was purged properly, my guess is it would be about 1/3 the current size. RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 23:21, February 5, 2025 (EST)
- Use the whole quote. In 2014, the international relations scholar John Mearsheimer wrote: "Russia is a declining power, and it will only get weaker with time."[4]
- It is not humanly possible to take such an emphatic quote out of context. Deny this and lose all credibility. Conservative (talk) 21:18, February 15, 2025 (EST)
- So what? France has been a declining power since 1812, and they're still around. RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 21:51, February 15, 2025 (EST)
- At least in my estimation, you didn't support your claim that I used the quote out of context nor did you support your claim that I want Ukraine/West to be at war with Russia. Conservative (talk) 22:13, February 15, 2025 (EST)
- So what? France has been a declining power since 1812, and they're still around. RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 21:51, February 15, 2025 (EST)
- In my estimation, you are hardly a student of John Mearsheimer and international relations. And that was obvious when you first cited Mearsheimer's Death of liberalism video and you didn't understand what liberalism in the international sense means versus American domestic liberalism, which he wasn't talking about, at all. RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 23:00, February 15, 2025 (EST)
- As Jesus said, Ask, and ye shall receive. But you choose the path of deliberate ignorance. You're too wrapped up in your narcissistic ego and lifted up in pride to ask for help in understanding. This is evidenced by the way you treat visitors to your user page who offer help. RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 23:06, February 15, 2025 (EST)
Did someone mention France and decline?
- France: 1.79 births per woman (2022)
- Russia: 1.42 births per woman (2022)
- Russia has a major demographic crisis! See: Russia's demographic crisis
Also:
List of countries by GDP (nominal) per capita
- 2024: France $44,461 GDP (nominal) per capita
- 2024: Russia $13,817 GDP (nominal) per capita
In relation to Russia, France has a long way to decline when it comes to its birth rate and its GDP (nominal) per capita.
I trust this clarifies matters! Conservative (talk) 21:54, February 16, 2025 (EST)
Russia news
I can see you clinging to BBC, Reuters, NYT, et al for a while. But you were informed years ago that
- The Moscow Times
- The Kyiv Independent
with all the attendant necessary sourcing were deep state propaganda fronts. RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 19:56, February 10, 2025 (EST)
User:Conservative: If you had read The Gulag Archipelago as you claim, you would have a rudimentary understanding of the Russia-Ukraine relationship, which obviously you don't. RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 13:52, February 14, 2025 (EST)
- Do I "cling" to these news publications? You are definitely not supporting this claim of yours. Given that I wrote these two essays Don't believe all the political news "facts" and predictions you read on the internet and see on the news and Why I prefer to get my news from a wide variety of sources, your claim is going to be very hard to support.
- Also, did I claim to read the book The Gulag Archipelago or did I merely claim to read a portion of the book? And given that you are not a mind reader, your opinion on how much I understand the Russia-Ukraine conflict isn't very relevant. This is especially true given that I predicted that the Russia-Ukraine conflict will turn into a frozen conflict (much earlier than what typical wars last) and that appears to be what is going to happen and you took a very different view that was quite pro-Russia and was very maximalist in terms of a Russian victory. Conservative (talk) 22:39, February 15, 2025 (EST)
- You published the lies - it is your responsibility to clean em up. Either delete wholesale or revisit and rewrite.
- It's not fair to other editors for the disrepute & lies you brought upon Conservapedia with your spamming. And you wonder why Conservapedia has trouble attracting editors? RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 23:14, February 15, 2025 (EST)
- Neither Putin nor Trump want a "frozen conflict". "Frozen conflict" is deep state rhetoric cause they don't want to admit NATO lost. RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 23:23, February 15, 2025 (EST)
- You are still not supporting your claims concerning me. And given Russia's current economy, labor shortages, and other factors, the fact remains that my forecast concerning the war in Ukraine has a far greater probability of happening than your maximalist, pro-Russia forecast. Frozen conflict well within 10 years is probably going to be the net result - just like I predicted!
- Mearsheimer also predicted that a frozen conflict is the most likely end result of the war in Ukraine with some possible flarups in the future, but he was more pessimistic concerning the timeframe of it happening than I was. The only difference is that I predicted a frozen conflict would happen relatively soon in terms of the average of how long modern wars last and much sooner than the 10 years that modern wars last. And it looks like Putin and the Trump Administration will hammer something out in 2025 in terms of an armistice or peace deal (But I also said that there could be flareups in the future). So it looks like I will soon have three words concerning my forecast of the war in Ukraine: Olé! Olé! Olé! Conservative (talk) 23:37, February 15, 2025 (EST)
- Okay smarty. What's the difference between an armistice and a "peace deal"? RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 23:56, February 15, 2025 (EST)
- 1 day and no response.
- It is obvious you pay no attention to what is being said.
- Trump said once the war is over, he wants nuclear arms redactions with the US, Russia & China, and defense spending cut in half. Now, Mr. Big Brain, how is that possible in a "frozen conflict? RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 20:51, February 16, 2025 (EST)
- I don't need to support my claims - your crap stands by itself, being discredited and a disgrace to the American conservative movement, Conservapedia, and Donald Trump.
- Now Trump is working hand in hand to reshape peace in our time and for future generations with the corrupt kleptocrat and war criminal Vladimir Putin. Good luck with that.
- Can you imagine? Trump invited the corrupt kleptocrat and war criminal Vladimir Putin to Washington. This will make a fine exhibit in the Trump Presidential Library as part of his enduring legacy. RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 23:47, February 15, 2025 (EST)
- Just imagine, FDR & Truman hung war criminals, but Trump made em the guest of honor at a State Dinner. Such is the history you wrote about Trump's legacy. RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 23:52, February 15, 2025 (EST)
Trump is willing to meet with most anyone if it advances America's interest. His meeting with anti-Christian Kim Jung Un is an example of that. He also met with the lightweight Justin Trudeau in November of 2024. Conservative (talk) 23:59, February 15, 2025 (EST)
- And everyone has to support their claims if they want people who are not gullible to believe them. Conservative (talk) 00:00, February 16, 2025 (EST)
- Look up the word gullible in the dictionary. It's got your picture right beside it. RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 00:07, February 16, 2025 (EST)
- The Deep State & USAID, not to mention the 2016 Hillary Clinton campaign, have been playing you like a cheap fiddle for a long time. RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 00:09, February 16, 2025 (EST)
- Also, FDR met with the militant atheist Stalin who was responsible for killing many of his fellow citizens via purges and responsible for the widespread persecution of Christians in the USSR. Presidents will meet with horrendous people if they believe the national interest requires it. Conservative (talk) 00:04, February 16, 2025 (EST)
- Thank you. Now we know where you stand. Trump will claim it's a victory and integral part of his legacy. You stand with the NeverTrumpers and critics who say it's something to condemn. RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 00:13, February 16, 2025 (EST)
- (Incidentally, it was Stalin at Yalta who got FDR to recognize Ukraine & Belarus independence by granting them full membership in the United Nations, which conservatives harshly condemned. I see you have come around to the FDR/Stalin, liberal Democrat/Soviet communist position now). RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 00:18, February 16, 2025 (EST)

Alexander Solzhenitsyn on Ukraine from the Gulag Archipelago
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn: From The Gulag Archipelago, part V, chapter 2, “The First Whiff of Revolution.” Published 1974. English translation by Harry Willetts, © 1978 Harper & Row.
"For me this is a painful subject. Russia and the Ukraine are united in my blood, my heart, my thoughts. But from friendly contact with Ukrainians in the camps over a long period I have learned how sore they feel. Our generation cannot avoid paying for the mistakes of generations before it.
Nothing is easier than stamping your foot and shouting: “That's mine!” It is immeasurably harder to proclaim: “You may live as you please.” We cannot, in the latter end of the twentieth century, live in the imaginary world in which our last, not very bright Emperor came to grief. Surprising though it may be, the prophecy of our Vanguard Doctrine [i.e., Marxism-Leninism—Ed.] that nationalism would fade has not come true. In the age of the atom and of cybernetics, it has for some reason blossomed afresh. Like it or not, the time is at hand when we must pay out on all our promissory notes guaranteeing self-determination and independence—pay up of our own accord, and not wait to be burned at the stake, drowned in rivers, or beheaded. We must prove our greatness as a nation not by the vastness of our territory, not by the number of peoples under our tutelage, but by the grandeur of our actions. And by the depth of our tilth in the lands that remain when those who do not wish to live with us are gone.
The Ukraine will be an extremely painful problem. But we must realize that the feelings of the whole people are now at white heat. Since the two peoples have not succeeded over the centuries in living harmoniously, it is up to us to show sense. We must leave the decision to the Ukrainians themselves—let federalists and separatists try their persuasions. Not to give way would be foolhardy and cruel. And the gentler, the more tolerant, the more careful to explain ourselves we are now, the more hope there will be of restoring unity in the future.
Let them live their own lives, let them see how it works." Conservative (talk) 18:40, February 16, 2025 (EST)
- It's a bit late for you now to do a little Googling, after you published about 3 dozen Russophobic screeds to make peacemaking for Donald Trump more difficult.
- "Russia and the Ukraine are united in my blood, my heart, my thoughts", that sounds like Putin propaganda, which all your USAID-sourced hate screeds ridicule and deny.RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 18:47, February 16, 2025 (EST)

- Also, who added the "cultural contributions" section to the Conservapedia Russia article? Because you were so busy playing with your Russian toy soldiers stomping on Ukraine's flag, I had to add this cultural contributions section to the Russia article. It's a total disgrace that you admire the worst aspects of Russian culture, but don't appreciate its greatest cultural achievements. The same applies to the Saint Petersburg article.

- Karajou, who has traveled around the world, turned out to be right about you. You don't understand international politics. At this point, I doubt you have visited Russia, Saint Peterburg or Ukraine. And remember, as far as the war in Ukraine and forecasting, your very pro-Russia, maximalist victory for Russia forecast is looking very bad right now, while my frozen conflict scenario (that may flare up from time to time) happening significantly before 10 years is looking very good.

Quote of RobSmith: "Alternatively, the US can admit defeat, withdraw sanctions, apologize, and accept the treaties Putin & Lavrov offered in December 2021 before NATO decided to go on another murderous rampage. RobSGive Peace a chance 17:25, July 8, 2023 (EDT)"[5]
Is Donald Trump going to apologize to Putin/Russia, completely withdraw sanctions and accept the treaties Putin & Lavrov offered in December 2021. Or is Russia, which has sky-high inflation, the beginnings of stagflation, rising corporate bankruptcies, labor shortages and a lower valued ruble, going to compromise? Conservative (talk) 20:06, February 16, 2025 (EST)
- Trump has already cowed, being the first to initiate the phone call. [6]
- More evidence of Nazi sympathies: See map image. User:Conservative went along with all the USAID/Nazi agitprop since 2022 that Putin wanted to conquer ALL of Ukraine and invade Western Europe in this clearly provoked NATO war.
- Second warning: "frozen conflict" is Nazi-Deep State rhetoric. No one on Trump's team uses the term. RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 20:16, February 16, 2025 (EST)
Update: Mearsheimer:
| “ | It's very important to understand that Hegseth said. He said explicitly that America's position is "a recognition of hard power realities on the ground". Just think about those words. He said this in Brussels [ NATO & EU headquarters.] It's a recognition of hard power realities on the ground. In other words, Hegseth understands, the Trump Administration understands we have lost. We have lost this war. The tide has turned against Ukraine and the West.
The problem is that huge numbers of people in the West don't understand that. They operate under this illusion that Ukraine is doing fine and all we have to do is give them a bit more weaponry and fine-tune the fighting machine, and they'll stop the Russians and eventually roll them back. And if you think like that about the situation on the ground, then obviously you're not going to like this deal at all. But if you face reality, which is what Hegseth and Trump and Company are doing, then it's obvious you have no choice here but to end the war on favorable terms, if you can so. Again, I think the Hegseth speech, when you look at it, is a really quite remarkable document. The number of things that he says in very clear terms that are quite profound....quite explicit, are really amazing, and I think the Trump Administration will build on what Hegseth said. I think that's the foundation. I think they sent him out on purpose to make that set of arguments. |

NATO has prepared for this war since its founding in 1949. There is no frozen conflict. You throw yourself on the mercy of the victor. RobSI don’t really care, Margaret 22:09, February 16, 2025 (EST)
