Neutrality clause was implemented when NATO (i.e. Germany and France) have shelved Ukraine's aspirations to indetermined future in place of the schedu...

Yes, it is truly incredible that your reading comprehension is so low. But it does explain some of your views. I have specifically written that AT THE...
November 24, 2023 at 19:26
It should be noted that at the time of annexation of Crimea Ukraine had neutrality clause in its constitution, and the reason given was that the new g...
November 24, 2023 at 10:09
I think the scenario of Belarusinization was much more likely - subjugation without formal annexation. It is simply more convenient this way. But for ...
November 21, 2023 at 16:04
The point is that even considering differences, Russia was not going to occupy the whole Afghanistan with 70 thousand troops or America was not going ...
November 21, 2023 at 08:23
Do you know how many Soviet troops have initially attacked Afghanistan? Or how many American troops have invaded Panama? By the way, you have not answ...
November 21, 2023 at 01:46
Yes, it is easy for anyone to check what was actually said and in what context. That it flies over your head is not exactly my problem, I have tried. ...
November 21, 2023 at 00:07
Yes, that is about it, the only thing that might not be clear from the first paragraph is the sequence: Putin became the prime minister, he has risen ...
November 20, 2023 at 23:57
No, I have provided five references. Not to mention the bigger context that has just flown over your head. So let me sum this up for you, in a way tha...
November 20, 2023 at 23:42
No, I have four other that say exactly the same thing. 'Russia has no concerns about the expansion of NATO from the standpoint of ensuring security, b...
November 20, 2023 at 20:51
I have provided five quotations of Putin that basically say that Ukraine is free to do as it pleases, all in context of NATO expansion or cooperation,...
November 20, 2023 at 20:15
Not so much yet, rather to stave off dissent. Note that whoever lately dared to criticize Putin directly (like the late Prigozhin or now imprisoned Gi...
November 20, 2023 at 20:02
Well, a full-scale war is not something you can do overnight. The plans must have started a few years back. Besides with the smoldering conflict in Do...
November 20, 2023 at 17:41
I have provided four such quotes, including two from the Kremlin presidential site itself. here is the fifth one: Lol, no, I supplement the historical...
November 20, 2023 at 17:04
Again, you are confused. Ukraine has trained troops with the US support and asked for weapons AFTER the conflict with Russia has already started and s...
November 20, 2023 at 16:17
No, it plays a major role, but not in every single event. Sometimes it plays an important, but not decisive role. Contrary to beliefs of some American...
November 20, 2023 at 14:27
Ignorance of the underlying conflict, its roots and progress. The internal divisions in Ukraine do not change the fact that the majority no longer wan...
November 20, 2023 at 09:29
Amusingly, on Russian TV Rita and others have stated grave warnings about foreign interference in Russian presidential elections, to which Michael Boh...
November 19, 2023 at 15:12
I am sure it does, given that I have proven your ignorance again and again. I have clearly written 'independence from Russia'. And that is exactly wha...
November 19, 2023 at 13:59
Yes, it shows how ridiculous your claims are. NATO, a strictly defensive alliance, with steadily decreasing army in Europe, is a grave threat, while R...
November 19, 2023 at 11:06
Apologies, it seems I have mixed up our discussions with someone else's.
November 15, 2023 at 12:49
That is particularly apparent in their complete misunderstanding how and why Poland, the Baltics and other EE countries have joined NATO.
November 14, 2023 at 22:19
Again, my point, which I have repeated over and over, is that the shelling was insignificant. I admit I did not find the two cases you have quoted, bu...
November 14, 2023 at 20:56
But I did not assert anything of that kind. I have claimed that Russian shelling had a negilgible effect. Given that you were able to produce evidence...
November 14, 2023 at 02:24
By the way, it should be constantly repeated that this figure has been made up by Tzeentch and is a result of his complete misunderstanding the Russia...
November 13, 2023 at 12:34
And we have evidence that they have shelled ONE FACTORY. Given that your initial argument was LITERAL QUOTE: 'shelling targets of military value for 2...
November 13, 2023 at 11:59
I was pointing out that the article specifically described missile attacks as 'shelling'. Yes, that is one target of shelling which we have already me...
November 13, 2023 at 01:53
No, the Wikipedia does not say the 'siege' lasted in that period, in fact it did not use that term at all (only you and the sensationalist press insis...
November 12, 2023 at 11:29
I am perfectly aware of what you were arguing for. You have claimed that the nothern campaign was successful two-month siege of Kiyv that was supposed...
November 12, 2023 at 09:06
The thing is that nobody denies that Russians got a lot of territory and put Ukrainians in difficult situation. Yes, the southern campaign was much mo...
November 11, 2023 at 22:11
So it was not 'two-month shelling of military targets' and 'Russia sieges Kiev until Mariupol is fully taken', just two of your claims that were paten...
November 11, 2023 at 13:29
It is reported that about 150 people died in the 'shelling' of Kiyv in that period. It is hard to estimate, but it seems most of those were victims of...
November 11, 2023 at 13:07
'Shelling targets of military value for 2 months'? I suppose you mean shelling of residential suburbs from March 4 (when the main convoy got close eno...
November 10, 2023 at 19:41
It was based on the quote of Bennett, which I believe you have provided. Should I still look for it?
November 10, 2023 at 11:17
It needs to be pointed out that the whole theory of 'just threatening Kiyv' with an army that was supposedly obviously and clearly incapable of threat...
November 10, 2023 at 11:03
You are wasting your time. He simply repeats the same claim which I have already shown to be false. In short, he does not understand the structure of ...
November 10, 2023 at 09:50
Some interesting posts from Murz (you can google translate them): https://t.me/wehearfromyanina/2860 https://t.me/wehearfromyanina/2861 https://t.me/w...
October 20, 2023 at 08:21
Well, there is this delicate problem that nobody in Russia knows what exactly they have annexed. On the anniversary of the 'referendum' different medi...
October 18, 2023 at 08:53
So the answer is: a) it is obvious b) actually, it does not Your backtracking is definitely getting better! Because, as it has become the norm in our ...
October 16, 2023 at 09:48
The actual arguments were right after that. Maybe you should read the whole paragraphs instead of just the first sentences, that would make our discus...
October 15, 2023 at 10:33
No, it was not the same position. Your claim was that it was always a 'red line', which is not true, as I have shown multiple times now. No, it is not...
October 13, 2023 at 22:20
No, I have quoted them as the explanation of what happened in Bucharest. Due to Russian protests, Germany and France's objections and lack of support ...
October 13, 2023 at 17:53
No, I do not 'change it up', I consider both, so do Ukrainians and obviously so do Russians. It is your problem that you are fixated on the NATO issue...
October 13, 2023 at 08:20
The support for joining NATO was about equal in 2002 and decreased from then (as the Russian opposition increased), but the support for closer ties wi...
October 13, 2023 at 00:23
It is not a matter of my interpretation. Belarussians are dying and are jailed to get out from the rule of 'one guy' and do not mind the other one. Pe...
October 12, 2023 at 20:38
Not exactly, the two are not even simliar. While the US did many things which should be condemned (like the war in Iraq), the influence it has in its ...
October 12, 2023 at 15:45
Maybe I was not clear - when I wrote Russia 'wants it back' I meant the control, not the physical territories. In fact, in many ways it is more conven...
October 12, 2023 at 07:13
The difference is that if Russians oppose the Ukrainian independence in general, then the conflict would likely arise sooner or later anyway, as Ukrai...
October 11, 2023 at 21:01
Oh, so now it is 'social engineering', because you simply cannot accept the fact that it is Ukrainians themselves that finally want to leave the Russi...
October 11, 2023 at 19:59
Great, so finally we agree that at that period NATO was not seen by Russia as a direct threat. But Yanukovych was ousted due to the course of events i...
