Curiously enough, Valve themselves locked the thread pretty fast.

The sanction mentality is supposed to turn Russians against Putin, but it actually unifies Russia. Good job libbies.
The West defeated the USSR by being nice.
The idiot asshats running foreign policy these days decided it would be a good idea to do the opposite.
It's like you know those ornery fucks that are historically famous for tolerating any amount of pain and coming together to do whatever it takes to punish an aggressor? Lets aggro them to teach them a lesson.
GG, retards.
Seriously, be nice to Russia, leave them alone, it will probably fall apart by itself for lack of purpose.
The cold war was a real war. We spent a lot of time and money attempting to damage Russia and her interests.
The USSR was most effectively defeated by their own KGB.
The point is that the populace wasn't united behind the whole apparatus and was kind of very much against it. And the apparatus itself was massively disjointed and working against itself. KGB generals wanted nice cars, soft toilet paper and jeans just as much as, if not more, than the general populace.
Had the US tried actual aggression in the 80s, the populace (as well as the KGB) would have had a unified purpose which superseded caring about having nice cars, soft toilet paper and jeans. All that is secondary to crushing the aggressor. It's a historical thing imho. Russia is pretty much defined by a model of growth against existential threats from outside aggressors. I think Siberia is pretty much the only place they took over without someone from there trying to raid their lands (and enslave their people) first and even then I don't really know.
Just as an example, the Crimean tartars burned down Moscow about 400+ years ago, which is why Crimea was some hundred+ years later conquered by Russia. Even having your capital burned down is nothing, really, in the scheme of things.
So this whole "lets scare those russkies with a couple dozen ATACMS!" is doubly retarded. You could literally wipe out all of Moscow from the face of the Earth and that will just make every single Russian determined forever to put eventual boots on the ground in Washington, like they did with Paris after Napoleon burned down Moscow.
