Stop with the silly bully shit.Stupid child ^. Can’t even grasp an analogy. You can’t even handle a simple thing like that.
Bottom line for morons like you: it never pays to reward the bully. And if your dire fear is that Putin might go nuke, then there’s nothing you will ever stand up against him for doing. You will forever be a worm.
You should heed your own advice.Stop with the silly bully shit.
You have no understanding of the history of the region. The bully is the USA. Had our ignorant politicians not pushed NATO to Russia’s border, this war wouldn’t happen.
Are you aware of the number of experts who warned against NATO expansion since the fall of the USSR? They knew it would lead to war.
I don’t agree with Putin’s invasion. War is never the answer. However you know only one side of the issue. You don’t know about Obama’s coup in 2014, that overthrow a democratically elected government in Ukraine and installed an anti-Russian Nazi influenced government. You don’t know about the thousands of ethnic Russians killed in the Donbass. You don’t know about Putin’s multiple warnings over ten yearsYou should heed your own advice.
Undeniable facts:
Putin amassed a major military force during a long build-up against Ukraine. He was hell bent on invading a neighboring sovereign nation.
Ukraine didn’t amass forces to invade Russia and Ukraine didn’t invade Russia.
After his illegal military invasion, Putin has conducted the Russian war machine in an absolutely evil way targeting civilians and civilian population centers. Ukraine still hasn’t attacked Russia or Russians in any Russian land.
As for Putin’s complaint that NATO has forces and arms in nations next to Russia, that’s an empty piece of sophistry. Russia obviously doesn’t mind having military might next to nonRussian neighbors. But in Putin’s diseased mind, Russia has the right to wage war over such things? Fuck Putin and fuck you,too.
Welcome to the real world. Sometimes the victims of bullies stand up and fight back. In the end, it’s almost always the smart thing to do. Make the bully back down.
I have repeatedly said that I’m not interested in your claimed historical antecedents. Ukraine ceased being a part of the Soviet Union when the Soviet Union dissolved. Since then, despite some tragic episodes, it has been and remains an independent nation.I don’t agree with Putin’s invasion. War is never the answer. However you know only one side of the issue. You don’t know about Obama’s coup in 2014, that overthrow a democratically elected government in Ukraine and installed an anti-Russian Nazi influenced government.

yeah, Putin never forced the Separatists to enter into Minsk power sharing talks.

How Zelensky Made Peace With Neo-Nazis
While Western media deploys Zelensky’s heritage to refute accusations of neo-Nazis in Ukraine, the president now depends on them as front line fighters in the war with Russia, report Alex Rubinstein and Max Blumenthal. By Alex Rubinstein and Max Blumenthal The Grayzone Back in October 20
" . .. . Once video of the stormy confrontation spread across Ukrainian social media channels, Zelensky became the target of an angry backlash.
Andriy Biletsky, the proudly fascist Azov Battalion leader who once pledged to “lead the white races of the world in a final crusade…against Semite-led Untermenschen,” vowed to bring thousands of fighters to Zolote if Zelensky pressed any further. Meanwhile, a parliamentarian from the party of former Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko openly fantasized about Zelensky being blown to bits by a militant’s grenade.

"Though Zelensky achieved a minor disengagement, the neo-Nazi paramilitaries escalated their “No Capitulation” campaign. And within months, fighting began to heat up again in Zolote, sparking a new cycle of violations of the Minsk Agreement.
By this point, Azov had been formally incorporated into the Ukrainian military and its street vigilante wing, known as the National Corps, was deployed across the country under the watch of the Ukrainian Interior Ministry, and alongside the National Police. In December 2021, Zelensky would be seen delivering a “Hero of Ukraine” award to a leader of the fascistic Right Sector in a ceremony in Ukraine’s parliament.
A full-scale conflict with Russia was approaching, and the distance between Zelensky and the extremist paramilitaries was closing fast.
This Feb. 24, when Russian President Vladimir Putin sent troops into Ukrainian territory on a stated mission to “demilitarize and denazify” the country, U.S. media embarked on a mission of its own: to deny the power of neo-Nazi paramilitaries over the country’s military and political sphere. As the U.S. government-funded National Public Radio insisted, “Putin’s language [about denazification] is offensive and factually wrong.”
In its bid to deflect from the influence of Nazism in contemporary Ukraine, U.S. media has found its most effective PR tool in the figure of Zelensky, a former TV star and comedian from a Jewish background. It is a role the actor-turned-politician has eagerly assumed.
But as we will see, Zelensky has not only ceded ground to the neo-Nazis in his midst, he has entrusted them with a front line role in his country’s war against pro-Russian and Russian forces. . . . "
Who’s Telling the ‘Big Lie’ on Ukraine?

Who's Telling the 'Big Lie' on Ukraine?
Exclusive: Official Washington draws the Ukraine crisis in black-and-white colors with Russian President Putin the bad guy and the U.S.-backed leaders in Kiev the good guys. But the reality is much more nuanced, with the American people consistently misled on key facts, writes Robert Parry. By Ro
Exclusive: Official Washington draws the Ukraine crisis in black-and-white colors with Russian President Putin the bad guy and the U.S.-backed leaders in Kiev the good guys. But the reality is much more nuanced, with the American people consistently misled on key facts, writes Robert Parry.
" . . Blinded to Neo-Nazis
In another example, the Post and other mainstream U.S. outlets have ridiculed the idea that neo-Nazis played any significant role in the putsch that ousted Yanukovych on Feb. 22 or in the Kiev regime’s brutal offensive against the ethnic Russians of eastern Ukraine.
However, occasionally, the inconvenient truth has slipped through. For instance, shortly after the February coup, the BBC described how the neo-Nazis spearheaded the violent seizure of government buildings to drive Yanukovych from power and were then rewarded with four ministries in the regime that was cobbled together in the coup’s aftermath.
When ethnic Russians in the south and east resisted the edicts from the new powers in Kiev, some neo-Nazi militias were incorporated into the National Guard and dispatched to the front lines as storm troopers eager to fight and kill people whom some considered “Untermenschen” or sub-human.
Even the New York Times, which has been among the most egregious violators of journalistic ethics in covering the Ukraine crisis, took note of Kiev’s neo-Nazi militias carrying Nazi banners while leading attacks on eastern cities albeit with this embarrassing reality consigned to the last three paragraphs of a long Times story on a different topic. [See Consortiumnews.com’s “NYT Discovers Ukraine’s Neo-Nazis at War.”]
Later, the conservative London Telegraph wrote a much more detailed story about how the Kiev regime had consciously recruited these dedicated storm troopers, who carried the Wolfsangel symbol favored by Hitler’s SS, to lead street fighting in eastern cities that were first softened up by army artillery. [See Consortiumnews.com’s “Ignoring Ukraine’s Neo-Nazi Storm Troopers.”]
You might think that unleashing Nazi storm troopers on a European population for the first time since World War II would be a big story given how much coverage is given to far less significant eruptions of neo-Nazi sentiment in Europe but this ugly reality in Ukraine disappeared quickly into the U.S. media’s memory hole. It didn’t fit the preferred good guy/bad guy narrative, with the Kiev regime the good guys and Putin the bad guy.
Now, the Washington Post has gone a step further dismissing Putin’s reference to the nasty violence inflicted by Kiev’s neo-Nazi battalions as part of Putin’s “Big Lie.” The Post is telling its readers that any reference to these neo-Nazis is just a “fantasy.”
Even more disturbing, the mainstream U.S. news media and Washington’s entire political class continue to ignore the Kiev government’s killing of thousands of ethnic Russians, including children and other non-combatants. The “responsibility to protect” crowd has suddenly lost its voice. Or, all the deaths are somehow blamed on Putin for supposedly having provoked the Ukraine crisis in the first place.
A Mysterious ‘Invasion’
And now there’s the curious case of Russia’s alleged “invasion” of Ukraine, another alarmist claim trumpeted by the Kiev regime and echoed by NATO hardliners and the MSM.
While I’m told that Russia did provide some light weapons to the rebels early in the struggle so they could defend themselves and their territory and a number of Russian nationalists have crossed the border to join the fight the claims of an overt “invasion” with tanks, artillery and truck convoys have been backed up by scant intelligence.
One former U.S. intelligence official who has examined the evidence said the intelligence to support the claims of a significant Russian invasion amounted to “virtually nothing.” Instead, it appears that the ethnic Russian rebels may have evolved into a more effective fighting force than many in the West thought. They are, after all, fighting on their home turf for their futures.
Concerned about the latest rush to judgment about the “invasion,” the Veteran Intelligence Professionals for Sanity, a group of former U.S. intelligence officials and analysts, took the unusual step of sending a memo to German Chancellor Angela Merkel warning her of a possible replay of the false claims that led to the Iraq War.
“You need to know,” the group wrote, “that accusations of a major Russian ‘invasion’ of Ukraine appear not to be supported by reliable intelligence. Rather, the ‘intelligence’ seems to be of the same dubious, politically ‘fixed’ kind used 12 years ago to ‘justify’ the U.S.-led attack on Iraq.”
But these doubts and concerns are not reflected in the Post’s editorial or other MSM accounts of the dangerous Ukraine crisis. Indeed, Americans who rely on these powerful news outlets for their information are as sheltered from reality as anyone living in a totalitarian society."
We are going in circles here. You claim that the separatists and Putin broke the Minsk agreements, which, I agree, but fail to acknowledge the massive amounts of evidence as to why.
You are allowed your own opinions. You are not allowed your own facts. If we can't rationally discuss real facts and real events, in a rational way, then there is no point in discussing this. I will acknowledge, Putin and the separatists are not being entirely honest, they DO NOT WANT Ukraine to be in the orbit of the EU or NATO. . . . but, given how much that make up of the population, I do not understand why that nation could not just be a neutral buffer zone.
Why are folks like you so insistent in pushing this issue into global war?
It is not a "Nazi government."I also reject the rhetoric that even Obumbler installed a Nazi government.

Why are folks like you so insistent in pushing this issue into global war?
The issue is not what's happening in Donbass. That's not Putin's justifcation for killing thousands and forcing refugees to flea.Because that is the default argument of folks that don't want war with Russia, or don't agree with them. They believe you are justifying Russia's invasion, and the bombing of women and children.
Did I characterize your position as endorsing the Azov battalion's shelling of innocents in the Donbas region?
I don't think I did.
You are intellectually weak. You use fallacy and emotional arguments when proven to be in error. . . I find that humorous.
Your analogy is not apt.Stupid child ^. Can’t even grasp an analogy. You can’t even handle a simple thing like that.
Bottom line for morons like you: it never pays to reward the bully. And if your dire fear is that Putin might go nuke, then there’s nothing you will ever stand up against him for doing. You will forever be a worm.
Old historical shit?! I‘m talking about the last two decades!All irrelevant. I’m not talking about old historical shit. I’m talking about the fact that Putin initiated the invasion and war.
Hey, although an overblown claim, some people say that “we” stole this land from the Native American Indians. Should we give it back now? Does that seem practical to you?
Anyone that has studied the history of politics, history, and anthropology can tell you, that the further law and rule making for society get from the community these affect, the less freedom and satisfaction experienced by those that are affected by said laws, rules and regulations.So, what`s the problem? What are you afraid of? One World means no armies and everyone eats.
So we are told by western propaganda. We are going to go around and around in circles, mostly because, you read, and watch CIA mocking bird media, which is all lies. This whole mess started with a US backed coup engineered by Obama and Victoria Nuland. . . You DO know that, right?But the pro Putin Ukrainians are not nice people either.
The minsk accords mandated negotiations between Kiev and the Sepratists. It was the seperatists who didn't go, with Putin's blessing. They never wanted to agree to the ceasefire.
And Putin JUSTIFIES his war based on Ukraine being some threat to Russia.
consortiumnews.com
“The shelling in the government-controlled side of the Donbas region has increased “tenfold” since Thursday, the Ukrainian Armed Forces said in a statement. On Saturday, two soldiers were killed, five were injured and there were 70 total cease-fire violations by the Russian-backed separatists, the military said in a Facebook statement.”
Outside the city of Novoluhanske, along the demarcation line with the self-proclaimed Donetsk separatist territory, Col. Oleksandr Zinevich showed journalists where separatist forces have been pounding an abandoned industrial area with artillery in recent days.
This area has not been a hot spot in years, but Zinevich said he sees the eruption of attacks over the past three days — including artillery, mortars and grenades — as evidence of a coordinated campaign being launched by Russia.
Moscow is trying to provoke Ukrainian forces into responding and giving Russia an excuse to launch an attack, he said. He has told his troops not to respond unless their lives are in danger.”
The issue is not what's happening in Donbass. That's not Putin's justifcation for killing thousands and forcing refugees to flea.
Putin crossed from the Donbass days ago to attack Kiev and install a puppet govt.
Old historical shit?! I‘m talking about the last two decades!

No one is justifying Putin’s invasion but its clear this could have been easily avoided, had our government wanted to. Apparently they want war and Ukrainians will pay the price.I have repeatedly said that I’m not interested in your claimed historical antecedents. Ukraine ceased being a part of the Soviet Union when the Soviet Union dissolved. Since then, despite some tragic episodes, it has been and remains an independent nation.
You don’t have to convince me that Obumbler engaged in his own nefarious dealings. But it doesn’t justify Putin’s invasion of Ukraine or the horrendous way he has chosen to inflict death on innocent civilians. I also reject the rhetoric that even Obumbler installed a Nazi government. The Ukrainian people chose their leader after their prior leader got ousted. There’s a lot more to that story, too.
While it is true that I never made a study of that region, I have made it my concern to get informed. I have done a fair amount of reading, recently. I’m getting both sides of the story and assuming that the truth is somewhere between the extremes. None of that changes what Putin has done. And no part of history justifies his war-criminal behavior.
They will never regain independenc, Russiawill install a puppet government.Neither side is blameless.
