I know I have mentioned this channel before but honestly this video is must watch in order to get a better understanding of what is going on on the ground in Ukraine.
The guy is former American military who has studied Russian battle tactics.
You quoted me just before I added "directly"
Either way, "not fighting in Ukraine" isn't the same as "fighting in Ukraine"
Also, I was emphasising the status of each country's army in order to highlight their differing levels of involvement.
I can see you're the sort that wont rest until you've got the last word in.
No-one has insulted you. Saying that an idea is idiotic is hardly a personal insult. You've certainly got a fertile imagination, I'll grant you that.
Oh, and to answer your question...
@standardg60 - And what on earth does starting a war within a war even mean?
I'll spell it out in layman's terms for you:
a) Russia is fighting Ukraine
b) you suggest Nato/USA fight Belarus
c) Belarus borders Ukraine
Result: war already going on, so starting another in the same area between two new entities = war within a war
Take a kindly suggestion and call it a night because you're going to come on here tomorrow and realise that you've totally embarrassed yourself.
So Ukraine could base their jets on NATO bases perhaps even an aircraft carrier in the black sea and NATO wouldn't be involved in your eyes?
Maybe Ukraine can have AA weapons just fixed in NATO countries and drive them a few feet into Ukraine and fire and quickly retreat?
I don't think Russia would see that in the same way you do.
how , Ukraine is a governed state an EU country ,texas is just another idiot siting beside Arizona or Oklahoma
Since when is Ukraine in the EU?
There's a few people who think they are EU members. I don't know why they think that.
EU=/= Europe. Can this be stickied?
My point is that they're not engaged to the same degree as yet.
Retracting to semantics doesn't really wash as a defence, and you still couldn't let it rest at that without throwing in another insult.
Anyway, i won't resort to your level, suffice to say as i've already posted that Belarus providing a base for attacks on Ukraine makes it just as much a partaker in this war as Russia, and that's enough of a reason on it's own even without Lukashenko's presenting of the invasion plan to his cabinet, revealing planned attacks which had yet to materialise.
If the US had done for Ukraine what Belarus has done for Russia, you can be sure Putin would consider it to to be "involved".
oh good the idiots have arrived ,
since when was Ukraine bloody Russian , we all know they stole Crimea but **** that who cares ......
Touche
I fail to see how anyone can argue that they aren't one and the same
Idiots?
You're the one thinking Ukraine is an EU member.
If a country is not in the EU, it doesn't automatically mean they are Russian..... WTF is this nonsence?
Europe =/= EU ffs!!!
Since when was Ukraine in the EU - you know the club they are applying to be members of...
Do you understand Europe is a land mass and Russia is in Europe as well???
The US could wipe Iran off the face of the map without fear of Russian reprisals.
Would you ever grow up with this hysterically exaggerated rhetoric.
Wipe Iran off the face of the map.
What utter rubbish.
I've no wish to bandy words with you any further as it's blatantly obvious - and quite pathetic - how you're trying to deflect attention away from the fact that you made a completely daft suggestion, someone called it as such, and you're not man enough to admit you're wrong.
If you think that Nato/USA attacking Belarus is such a great idea then set up a poll on here and lets see exactly how many agree with you. Of course I don't think for a minute that you'll do that as you're just a Foghorn Leghorn and will continue to bluster away regardless.
People like you who wear cardboard balaclavas detract from the value of this forum.
Someone called it as such, and i and another poster responded with a valid reposte
You on the other hand prefer to insult and attempt to bully people away from posting instead of defending your own posts. Which approach do you think detracts from the forum?
its people have said it wants nothing to do with russia so whats the problem
land mass? **** that this war is not about land mass its about control
Couldn't make it up - a Russian freshly installed local leader
Danilchenko said. “I appeal to the deputies, elected by the people, on all levels. Since you were elected by the people, it is your duty to care about the well-being of your citizens.”
There's no room in the tent while you're in there
Why is Ukraine not blue on that map? If as you say they are an EU member?
The Ukraine and the US are not in a military alliance like Belarus and Russia are(CSTO), they can send troops into Ukraine from Belarus under the pretence of having been there for war games. A pretence the US doesn’t have.
I really like that you continually keep us updated with breaking news from yesterday
Read through my posts... I've not been either bullying you or insulting you. You're making things up again. I said it was an idiotic idea for you to suggest that Nato/USA attacks Belarus. You've chosen to escalate and deflect accordingly, not me.
Take a look at the picture below. Toddlers crammed in basements, terrified at the shelling outside and at any moment a direct hit could kill them all. There are thousands of them, little children just like ours, with most for the main part - if they even survive - ending up with no mother or father as they've been killed defending their country. And you advocate starting yet another war, or escalating the current one. And you're not man enough or got the balls to simply admit you were wrong, then that would have been the end of it.
People like you represent all that's rotten in this world. So carry on embarrassing yourself.
a thanks will suffice
why is it not russian ? or on the russia map tell me
You stated Ukraine is in the EU, I present you with a map of EU countries and now you talk about Russia?
Why do you believe Ukraine is an EU member?
You’re lucky it’s just one of them on you.
