I thought it was very impressive that a few months back we had so many medical experts on here but now I see we also have hundreds of military experts also! In fact some of the posters are experts in both areas!
I don't hate the west or the US.
I have many friends in the US actually.
I do think their bad foreign policy decisions have had a huge impact on helping to create this crisis. Vladimir Putin and the Russians seem to be of the same opinion too.
Again, this is called an opinion. I'm perfectly entitled to hold a different opinion. You don't have to like it, or agree with it. But you have no right to tell me I can't express it.
The mindless propaganda is becoming increasingly Goebbels like, not that I’d expect posters here to even notice.
Wrong, I've expressed opinions.
And there was nothing outlandish about them, other than being unpopular opinions.
I made it very clear that these were my opinions, not anything that I was claiming to be absolute truths. So your request for evidence is a bit pointless really. But then, I'm sure you already know that.
Anyway, this is not the place to be discussing people's posting styles. If you have an issue, either take it to the mods or discuss it among yourselves by PM. Lets keep this thread on topic please.
Ah, no..the militias being funded and armed by the US are ACTUAL neo nazis..
There's only one side behaving like Nazis right now and it ain't the lads with the blue and yellow flag.
Ahh ok so the west is using Ukraine now to attack Russia? Gotcha
Somebody should tell the Ukrainians that its the west that is using them to attack Russia and that Russia isn't really the aggressors at all.
I dunno man..
Biden and the neo nazis in the Ukraine were pushing for all this..
By all means,have your opinion,but your hatred towards US and the west have obviously made you blind.
So watch your step and do some research on the subject before commmenting ,might help.
Whereas journalists and political opponents just have unfortunate accidents in mother Russia...
Very strong words from the Russian ambassador, there.
For some reason I went back to the first page of this thread - just to see when and how it all started.
Spotted this post there - I don't think that that's aged well!
That was an interesting speech.
i think its incredulous how the lunacy of Putin is mirrored by anybody associated with Russia, its like a blanket blindness, surely they can't all be purged if they speak out together against Russia's latest military adventure
How is it not a proxy war for the west? They cant put their own troops in Ukraine and engage the Russians lest they risk a conflict involving their own countries too - so all they will do is funnel arms to Ukraine and use them as a proxy.
To the Ukrainians themselves its not a proxy war, well duh. Same applies to every proxy war - the force doing the fighting dont see it as a proxy themselves. Proxy war is a perspective term.
Russian ambassador to the UN just accused Ukraine of murdering journalists.
It's hard to hold any discourse with a regime who have such little shame.
You have made many outlandish claims and called posters like me fantasists for not believing you.
Then several posters including me asked you to provide proof or a source to your claims, you never backed anything up and just go on a rant about everyone else being wrong again.
I actually have just avoided most your posts since then because its just not worth engaging with you.
Interesting how there are sanctions against several individual Russians, but not mr. Putin himself - apparently this is so that the option for diplomacy can be kept in place. If the invasion moves beyond its current stage, then you'd expect to see sanctions against Putin as well.
The Russian playbook is from the 1930s, the rest of the world got the updates, bad internet or wifi?
....
EU sanctions in place!
More to come no doubt.
Sorry but like just thinking out loud, but do sanctions only work if the never played to go to war? I mean surly sanctions mean nothing if war was on the books anyway?
Report away.
I've done nothing wrong, other than expressing opinions that you don't like. (which I guess has become a crime in the western world these days)
Perhaps I should report all the people erroneously labeling people as "PutinBots" with zero evidence to back up their assertions?
Only I'm not petty enough to do that.
When Putin mentions Ukraine isn't a real country.
He hasn't legitimized anything, he has declared areas in another sovereign country as independent and then has sent in troops to ocupy them. How about telling the facts as they are instead of spin?
Ahh ffs your posts are full of BS.
Ukraine has been invaded by Russia, their are no ifs or buts about it, and if Russia pushes further in you think the Ukraine are just fighting some proxy war against the Russians? for the west?
They will be fighting for the survival of their own country and democracy.
Seriously the mental gymnastics being thrown around in this thread is something else.
I've reported user "Shao Kahn" for providing a lot of False Information on this board.
A pre-recorded display, designed to shock. Putin is a master of propaganda.
Lets rewind back a bit, what has he actually done so far? He's legitimized 2 separatist regions. Regions the Ukranian government says are "temporarily occupied" - nearly 10 years that's going on btw.
Let's see what his next move is before getting too excited.
word is the abkhazia, south ossetia and transnistria are about to recognise donetsk and luhansk as independent
Reading this thread from the start is quite depressing, in the delusions on display. Where now Klaz and Sand?
