I would say that after learning a second language, learning a third becomes easier. Or fourth, or whatever. I don't think it really matters what the second language is.

I would agree that it's about learning a foreign language, not about Lojban in particular. If anything, I would imagine learning Lojban may be more difficult since its grammar is so far from natural languages. For example, I imagine learning Latin would be more helpful than Lojban, since it teaches you rather common natural language grammar (word classes, tenses, gender, etc.) that don't exist or are abstracted by Lojban's unique approach to language.

The "anything related to" copy is indeed weird. I suspect it's mainly there to block the narrow mindset people get into when they hear that Lojban is "logical" or "unambiguous". Lojban itself doesn't put any restrictions on what is in the domain of discourse or how it translates to the real world, so there is no problem with using {lo} and ordinary predicates for, say, characters in stories. And IMO saying {lo cribe} can't be bear goo makes no sense. Isn't tense unspecified by default?

>how it translates to the real world

Hardly any Lojbanists even believe in the real world, let alone care about whether thoughts accurately describe it.

I removed it.

Not that I know of. There's an article by nitcion about {vo'a} [1] and an chapter in Arika Okrent's "In the Land of Invented Languages" [2], but both don't go into much depth and were written before the language could be considered to have fluent speakers. I would love to read a proper linguistic analysis of Lojban, but it probably has to wait until someone learns it natively (or fails to!). Current speakers fare much better than those of nitcion's time with logical structure and morphology, but AFAIK everyone still misses or overuses terminators from time to time in speech.

Why the obsession with Soviet stuff here? I don't get it.
