   ### - and now paranoid as all get-out coz they did actually 'do' that to   
   someone else (to japan x 2) the scars from which run deep upon their   
   conscience, it being hard to ease-back from such a position after being so   
   horribly aggressive/destructive, there's guilt & shame, and so now there's   
   a hard front it routinely presents albeit that's not the real person   
   underneath...

   ### - certainly not anymore... they's still a huge country though, with   
   vast resources (supplies 40% of europe's gas) and 'claim' they just wanna   
   remain neutral...   
      
   unfortunately, a neutral super power not being something the west is   
   prepared to vie with/tolerate in their current plans for the world...

   ### - (smile) clutch is alright, only half worn, and only came across that   
   video while interested in some of the same tear-down process to get to   
   it... that dude being such a good (silent) instructor, however, it became   
   fascinating + made all the parts i particularly need to get to (for a   
   complete suspension & steering overhaul in an 18 year old car lol) seem   
   easy... still takes about 5 or 6 hours to change a clutch his way, a   
   serious deep-dive heh...
