Because this is a thread about the war in Ukraine, so I take to be pertinent to talk about the Western involvement in this war as much as the non-West...
. PIGS, OF COURSE. You? And why is this the question I should care about? I’m living and lived in several Western countries, and am pro-West, not spec...
I don’t talk about tourism, I don’t talk about giving a chance. I talk about living your life as an avg person in Western countries vs in one of those...
No. The American intervention in Vietnam, Iraq and Afghanistan can be questioned from the American national interest point of view too. Yet the US has...
Dude, again, you didn’t read much of what I wrote in this thread. I never claimed to be not partisan. I never claimed to be impartial. I am pro-US, pr...
Why “virtually inevitable”? Why do you keep calling it “coup”? If Washington supported a coup, who else organised the coup? So the Russian fears are t...
So you are not partisans and yet you have identified the US as the bad guy and the fact that the interest of EU and the US diverge. You constantly rep...
I don't need any educated(?!) guess, just an educated factual acknowledgment of the fact that Putin has committed himself to two notions of "victories...
And she is not the only one: 'We are defending you,' says Zelensky on EU visit https://www.lemonde.fr/en/european-union/article/2023/02/09/zelensky-ad...
Terminology: A coup d'état, or simply a coup, is an illegal and overt attempt by a military organisation or other government elites to unseat an incum...
Putin: “This is not a territorial conflict or even the establishment of a regional geopolitical balance. The question is much broader and more fundame...
The main problem I see in debating with people advocating pro-Russian views in this thread is that they seem to over-confidently rely on keywords like...
The argument that Crimea has always been Russian is often grounded also on the idea that Crimea is ethnically Russian. What that remark seems to forge...
Indeed I claimed/argued that BOTH the following arguments of yours are non sequiturs: 1 - “Because Russia had stated, for years, that NATO membership ...
I already countered such pointless remarks: 1 - “I’m not here to make a survey about your beliefs, I’m here to hear your challenging arguments to supp...
Why someone would refer to Mearsheimer to deny Russia' hegemonic ambitions over Ukraine, even prior to any NATO expansion further east, remains a myst...
OK since you know, for the second time, tell me what “non sequitur” is supposed to mean and prove from that definition that “Because Russia had stated...
“Non sequitur” is a Latin expression not English, Russian or Spanish. In logic, “non sequitur” refers to a deductive fallacy. Understanding if this cl...
So are you denying that “non sequitur” means “it doesn’t follow” or that it is used as a label for a “logic fallacy”, prof? What else do you think it ...
“Non sequitur” is a Latin expression literally meaning “it doesn’t follow” and that would be already enough, if you understood my charitable objection...
02.01.2005 Interview with Sergej Lavrov (Foreign minister of Russia) by the German business newspaper Handelsblatt: Question: Does the right to sovere...
This is a non sequitur. At most you can argue that there was a “very strong” reason NOT to do so (Russia’s strong opposition). Not that there was NO r...
. Why stupid provocation? If the premise of the Bucharest Summit was “We recall that the NATO-Russia partnership was conceived as a strategic element ...
Russian history? That’s like arguing that we should surround the nation of Germany because, you know…stuff that happened 80+ years ago. Yes it is, ind...
Well it depends on what you take to be relevant evidences to fix security dilemmas in geopolitics (have you ever heard of Mearsheimer's offensive real...
I joined this thread a while back and discussed this too on several occasions. The Russian threat doesn’t consist in attacking Spain out of the blue y...
I can’t decide for the Ukrainians which world they want to be part of, nor their motives to do so. They have chosen the West (and it’s not the first t...
If I could see the point of asking myself this, maybe I would. Because Ukraine is not threatening to the West, it wants to join the West. Not the same...
It was cultural and identitarian too. Read Paine: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_Sense And then the US allied with the British archenemy, the Fr...
And yet American fought against the British empire for their independence, despite "the same pillars of each nation". Sure, Zelensky has definitely fa...
Pro-Russians: "And what about Vietnam war and the Hyper-imperialist Great Satan? And what about Vietnam importing more 70% weapons from Russia?" Vietn...
Probably I wasn't enough clear. I was referring to the perceived security threat by Russians due to NATO meddling in Ukraine, the Russian backyard, wi...
Sure. In this case I was also interested in reporting the views of a sober pro-Russian Russian geopolitical analyst on the current situation (others i...
Not as much desperate as you are to repeatedly frame your opponents as being addicted to "deadly drug" or “hopium” of Western propaganda. Besides ther...
So if Russia will require demilitarization of Ukraine (a radical reduction of its army), neutral status for Kiev (and a mechanism to control it) and t...
Earlier I cited a pro-Russian Russian analyst claiming: The conception of our victory is clear: We still need the demilitarization of Ukraine (a radic...
