Ево размишљање једног познатог ратног фотографа и новинара. Ријеч је о Мајклу Јону, неки су можда и чули за њега.
Пратим га на Фејсбуку па налетих на овај његов статус... могло би бити интересантно за наставак теме.. а можда би се могла и отворити нова, типа УСА вс РОССИА

As an American, I was raised up to go to war with Russians. And the more I see, the less I understand why we constantly smash each other.
We do not even have a bad name for Russians. We have bad names for Germans, British, Mexicans, Japanese, Chinese, Vietnamese, Africans across the board, Arabs, Muslims, Jews, Italians...yet our supposed #1 enemy at times, the Russians, I am drawing a blank.
We go to space together, share intelligence, benefit from each other's science, travel freely between our countries, and get along well on so many levels from personal to geopolitical, and then we threaten to nuke each other, sink each other's navies, or shoot airplanes from the skies.
And we do not even have a bad name for Russians. I cannot even name a Russian upon whom I wish bad luck.
As an American, do I want to see us sink Russian navy ships. No. (Unless they shoot at us, then sink them all.)
Putin, he's a putz, but is he evil like Saddam was? Putin is a bad guy. He is destroying his country, and this can turn very ugly, and Putin could well enter the hall of evil fame, but so far he has not reached the level of evil. So far, Putin is just a bad guy who is too big for his britches.
If we are going to war with Russians, must start dehumanizing them. Otherwise it will be difficult to pull the trigger. But seriously, if you are American, do you know any Russians that you hate?
I have no energy to pull a trigger on Russians. Unless they shoot first.
