Re: Russia/Ukraine War Discussion/thoughts Thread
Sure, NATO can be used for malicious purposes if the circumstances are right. But do you honestly think this is what is happening right now? Normally I'm the guy who says fuck the government, and especially a world government. But NATO at least on paper exists for this very reason - the only exception is that Ukraine isn't a NATO or EU member but they're a reasonably developed country with strong ties to Europe. Russia outright invaded a sovereign country for demonstrably ridiculous reasons. If a 3rd world shithole invades another no one really gives a shit not because they aren't white but because those countries are typically a never-ending revolving door of crippling poverty, nonexistent economies and dictatorships. Georgia was invaded by Russia and the world pretty much didn't do shit. Tell me those people aren't white (they are). Watch what happens when China invades Taiwan, we'll be assisting Taiwan with stuff that will hurt the Chinese, regardless of who's our President. Sanctions - sanctioning a shithole country? Sanctioning a leader who likely has little if any actual control over their country? Are you going to sanction each tribe and faction by name who live in mud huts and shit in ditches? Tell them they can't buy iPhones anymore and can't make SWIFT payments? |

Re: Russia/Ukraine War Discussion/thoughts Thread
“ Russia outright invaded a sovereign country for demonstrably ridiculous reasons.” What if Russia saw the Ukrainian president, already having received billions in weapon funding from outside states, on television begging for nucleair weapons? People would call those actual weapons of mass destruction btw |

Re: Russia/Ukraine War Discussion/thoughts Thread
He didn't beg for nuclear weapons (as no one would give him that), he hinted they could develop their own. Not strategically smart, but reasonable as they gave away their nukes after the soviet fall for security guarantees by Russia, US, etc. As for using that as an excuse for invading that is just Putin propaganda. Of course, unless you believe that Putin knew what Zelensky would do in 2022, back in 2014 when he started the invasion. |

Re: Russia/Ukraine War Discussion/thoughts Thread
There should probably be some bellingcat twitter post about an intercepted Russian phone call on social media about generals congratulating each other about killing civilians? Not that I have seen it but this is the kind of proof we have come to expect these days

Re: Russia/Ukraine War Discussion/thoughts Thread
2014 was not an invasion; how can Ukraine invade itself lol? They just killed some people in the self proclaimed republics. There was no referendum there like in crimea. Had Ukraine invaded crimea after the referendum then that would be an invasion. But they only invaded some Donbas republics which were part of itself at the time |

Re: Russia/Ukraine War Discussion/thoughts Thread
Everybody knows Russia invaded certain Ukrainian territories in 2014. If you don't know that you must either be a dirty Russian, or be mentally retarded (if there is any difference). Which one is it?

Re: Russia/Ukraine War Discussion/thoughts Thread
Lol, I see that you are retarded. There were Russians there, but it surely arrived a heck more - uninvited. You could surely call it an invasion. Why this need to defend a crazy dictator such as Putin. A failure in life, and anger at society? |
