I remember when there was serious discussion of Russia joining NATO one day.

Arab help warmed the wet ashes of what used to be my gray dead heart.

Well, I'm subject to being convinced otherwise if it's good enough, but "roguelike strategy" is not high on my Christmas list. I have an unfortunate prejudice in favor of winning in strategy games.

I've heard many pro Russians cite that Clark incident in Serbia.  They tout that as nato aggression and the sentiment is probably what lead to Putin's rise. 

I don't buy all the nato expansion bad and caused Ukraine war that's being put out there.  Something has to keep the Russians in check from gobbling up the Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania.  Eastern Europe is thriving living free from Russian rule, no way that would happen with out nato. 

We wouldn't need to move nato East if Russia would let Eastern Europe live in peace.

I think really, the failure is letting the Russians become enemies 22 years ago.  Nato moving East could have been a friendly alliance with Russia moving closer, some how diplomacy dropped the ball 20+ years ago.

I'm certainly not pro-Russian. Just pragmatic, level-headed and citing a very well-documented fact. I personally draw no connection between the Pristina incident and the rise of Putin.

AI designing games is absurd until it can at least put up a decent fight as the opposition IN a game. Put THAT in your virtual pipe and smoke it, Skynet!
