Russia - threadbanned users in OP

@[Deleted User] As we say in Lausanne : “Check yourself before you wreck yourself.”....

What an absolute spoofer,

Nobody in Lausanne or anywhere else in Switzerland says that...

It's a quote from an icecube song which was famously quoted by in a media report by Aidan Aslin aka cossack gundi while fighting isis in Syria now famously of the Ukrainian Marines captured by the Russians in Mariupol recently Freed from captivity...

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

What's telling is that you take everything you read or watch as truth and lacking any propaganda. How can anyone state that "there is no NATO culpability" is beyond me. This conflict really started in April, 2008, at the nato Summit in Bucharest, where afterward nato issued a statement that said Ukraine and Georgia would become part of nato. The Russians made it unequivocally clear at the time that they viewed this as an existential threat, and they drew a line in the sand. The levels of propaganda from both sides in this conflict are unprecedented, and it seems they have really done a job on you.

I asked you a question about how you can reconcile with supporting the rape of children etc and you did everything to avoid answering the question. So back to Orwell road or whatever location your handlers have located you in. No decent person could hold the stance of supporting the actions you openly support.

Not a great comparison. Firstly, the EU is not a military force spearheaded by our biggest rivals of more than 70 years. You don't need to imagine a scenario to make your point, look at the last time we came close to Nuclear war, the Cuban missile crisis. If the Russians spearheaded a military collective similar to NATO and decided to invite Mexico, which in turn would eventually facilitate the setting up of missiles on the US border then yes the Americans would most definitely warn the Mexicans against joining and invade if they were ignored.

No surprise, RuSSia exiting the grain deal.

No.

Once Chernobyl happened and the scales fell away from the eyes of the 200 million Comrades, the Soviet Union was utterly doomed.

Blame for any consequences of disorderly break-up in the former SSRs may be entirely laid at the door of every Politburo from Stalin to Gorbachev.

The West were quite content to live alongside the Glasnost era USSR and further de-power the nuclear stockpiles, but what happened in the USSR and Warsaw pact was simply the tumbling of a house of cards.

What Putin is attempting to do now, in his own absolutely stark staring mental way, is lead people to the promised land of renewed glory days that never actually existed.

Bit like Brexit in a T-90 tank.

You are presupposing Russia's false statements of paranoia have any legitimacy or that there is some reason third parties are obliged to humour them. Russia has no rights to dictate to other countries; what Russia said, when, is irrelevant, it doesn't justify anything anymore than it magically confers rights.

What Russia have done is inexcusable and has no legitimate justification.

Moscow called the UN Security Council to convene after suspending its participation in the grain agreement

there's not a grain of truth in agreement

Moscow mustn't have had enough humiliation at the Security Council of late.

Wonder if our Ambassador Fergal Mythen will repeat the Taoiseach's recent suggestion for Russia to be booted off the SC?

Would never happen of course, but its a new low for Russia to be in that realm of discussion.

Amazing how many of the anti anything NATO and pro Putin posters just pop up with a small number of posts, even if not obvious new registrations. What makes someone set up an account here, not use it for a couple of years and then launch into stuff like this? Hmm, I can draw my own conclusions.

Am surprised that it took you so long to spot the red herring!

Advisor to the office of President of Ukraine: Nuclear blackmail, energy terror, grain blockade. Putin turned food, cold and prices to weapons against the world. Putin's Russia is waging a hybrid war against Europe, taking Africa and Middle East hostage. Proving once again: negotiations with RF — a waste of time
