Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Ah that's an affliction we all have and it gets stronger when we are on the defensive. The poster is expressing an opinion about your opinion.

In a way Russia is worse. Putin has been on a campaign of mass murder since he was elected and official Russian war policy is barbaric. I remember once reading about how barbaric Russia is from an article written in 1900. Can't locate it though. Russia's barbarism goes a long way back.

Me too

Can we all just agree that Russia invading another sovereign state, raping and killing it's citizens and destroying it's infrastructure is a bad thing which must be stopped? If we can, then as Russia doesn't do diplomacy, that leaves sanctions and direct (military) action to force them to stop. Sanctions have to come from the rest of the world to curtail Russia's ability to wage war. At the same time to prevent further loss of territory and loss of civilian life in Ukraine; materials for war must be supplied to Ukraine as they are the only ones physically fighting against the destruction of their own country. It's no surprise the US is involved in the sanctions and military supplies response because it's a world power who can inflict sanctions and supply materials of war.

The constant what about the US and what they have done through history is just tiring at this point. If you want, go set up a thread where you can what about to your heart's content. Right now the US and the rest of those supporting Ukraine are helping keeping it from been wiped off the map by a rogue nation. When the dust settles, historians can argue the toss over this conflict somehow being related to US imperialism. For now unless your hatred of the US has blinded you to what Russia is doing, you should be hoping the US and other countries ramp up the sanctions and military supplies to utterly break Russia.

Wait until to fit it with a forward gear. Then they'll really be cooking. Mainly because the engine is situated too close to the crew compartment.

Anyway, Lackey Lukashenko is f*cked if he orders Belarussian troops directly into the conflict at this point, and they'd be blown to bits against a well-equipped Polish army. The only point Lukashenko gets involved with good results for him is at any point where it looks like Russia is about to win and he can move troops in for the photo op. Kind of like that guy who pretends to help you move something heavy just by putting a hand to it right as you finish.

Indeed, but the tone from the Putin fan boys when they speak about people in the West is that they are mostly war loving imperialists and hypocrites who had no problem with Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan etc while they were happening. It's a total distortion of what was actually happening - Blair was an absolute pariah by the time of the Chilcott report.

The Putin bots in the West are way more nasty and sociopathic than even those who were supporting the invasion of Iraq in 2003, making their 'whataboutery' completely meaningless. They are extremists and potential security risks.

Did we ever hear any more from General Putinovich and his band of merry Zeds.?

This might explain why they are talking about a long war???-
