It was you who have used the word, because you were unable to show how the base is more significant than a single frigate. And obviously still cannot ...
February 17, 2024 at 12:50
No, you need to resort to use words like 'dramatically' (and half a page pseudo-philosophical ramblings), because you do not know the basic facts of t...
February 16, 2024 at 11:32
Because, depending on who their narrative is directed to, Russians have often skipped that point. Sure, I might be wrong. Can you provide evidence whi...
February 15, 2024 at 15:27
No, it is not. The main Russian concern is the defensive capability of ABMs. However, for obvious reasons that does not sell as well, as I have alread...
February 14, 2024 at 13:36
When you have described the 'nuclear threat', you have specifically used the phrase 'they could deploy nuclear weapons there'. Pretending that it was ...
February 13, 2024 at 11:23
I was clearly referring to this statement and all my arguments referred to this. I am not sure why you were unable to follow it, I tried to be as clea...
February 12, 2024 at 10:02
Maybe this is what you describe NOW, when I have finally educated you about the matter. Your previous claim was 'You could literally take a ABM missil...
February 11, 2024 at 22:44
No, if you had read anything with understanding, you might get a better idea what I think. Here is the article on the first strike strategy, it also l...
February 10, 2024 at 17:57
They are insignificant as far as the offensive potential is concerned. They are quite significant as a defensive measure. What? Again, your fantasy sc...

LOL, indeed... Kremlin censors Carlson: https://twitter.com/JuliaDavisNews/status/1756051693358191055
February 10, 2024 at 14:00
No, we are not. Add up all the missile tubes from just the non-US NATO ships and the Redzikowo tubes are still insignificant. Oh, so you do not even k...

February 10, 2024 at 12:16
Yes, when Putin himself clearly denies Ukrainian statehood, declares he has right to shape Ukraine's borders and insists the war will not end until 'd...
February 10, 2024 at 11:31
Yes, I know that. It is boethius who insists that Aegis are 'forward nuclear bases' which pose a threat of the first strike.
February 09, 2024 at 18:58
To outdo the Redzikowo base, you do not have to move ALL US ships into the Baltic. In fact, you do not need any US ships at all: ANY single German fri...
February 09, 2024 at 17:47
And again you just wasted time,yours and mine, writing a dozen of paragraphs of pseudo-philosophical musings which are completely irrelevant, simply b...
February 09, 2024 at 15:18
I have been both to Spain and to Russia. I am asking, as I wonder what is the foundation of your views. Citing isolated indexes (in which you do not b...
February 06, 2024 at 15:22
That is rather funny, given your following remarks. It is not a point made by 'experts', it is a point made by Russians and just repeated by the journ...
February 05, 2024 at 23:44
Have you ever been to Russia?
February 05, 2024 at 22:54
Russia's rank: 51st, Spain: 29th.
February 05, 2024 at 19:07
No, because Russia had a clear intention of deploying actually existing missiles. Oh, so now you are talking about missiles which have NOT YET BEEN DE...
February 05, 2024 at 19:01
If we are in fantasy land, the US could deploy the nukes everywhere - in Ukraine, whether it was in NATO or not, in Alaska, or in Greenland. Oh, pleas...
February 05, 2024 at 17:41
Beside the obvious nonsense of 'nuclear threat' (again, no nuclear missiles have been deployed in any of the new NATO countries, so why exactly should...
February 05, 2024 at 09:36
No, it did not. The discussion gets really tiresome when you get all the facts wrong.
January 17, 2024 at 13:28
The facts are that in 2008 Germany and France blocked MAP, which put Ukraine on hold indefinitely. Then Ukraine declared independence from military al...
January 17, 2024 at 13:04
Congratulations, you have finally understood that the war has very little to do with NATO. Now convince the other Russian apologetics. Congratulations...
January 17, 2024 at 13:02
That is hilarious from someone urging me to 'live in the real world'. You clearly have no idea how the real world works... Ukraine joining of NATO req...
January 17, 2024 at 12:14
Is Russia a legitimate threat to NATO?
January 17, 2024 at 09:04
Yes, the link confirms what I have already told you: you were wrong. You have no knowledge of the issues you try to discuss, only vague ideas you pick...
January 05, 2024 at 09:21
You have claimed that the countries accepted into NATO after the unification of Germany have nukes 'on their soil'.
January 03, 2024 at 16:59
You have made a specific claim that was quite easy to prove false. As you are obviously unable to support your claims with any evidence, you are reduc...
January 03, 2024 at 16:15
The link yourself has provided shows that there are no nuclear weapons in the countries that joined after the unification of Germany. Your previous cl...
January 03, 2024 at 12:05
As usual, you jump into the discussion with as little understanding as possible... In the quote I have given boagle clearly referred to new NATO membe...
January 02, 2024 at 22:32
So pointing out an glaring historical mistake from someone insisting on the importance of history is an 'attitude'? Right... And I am quite aware of h...
January 02, 2024 at 19:39
That is simply false. No nuclear weapons have been deployed in new NATO members: https://www.cfr.org/in-brief/nuclear-weapons-europe-mapping-us-and-ru...
January 02, 2024 at 18:39
The nominal range of S400 is 400 km (hence the name), but effectively against airplanes it would be about 200 km. This means that to effectively enfor...
December 29, 2023 at 14:46
No, it would not be operating in Ukraine, unless I completely misunderstand what you mean by 'no-fly zone'. There is already a 'no-fly zone' in most o...
December 28, 2023 at 16:16
'No-fly zone' effectively means 'bombing Russian SAM sites by NATO forces'. How exactly is that different from NATO starting a war with Russia?
December 28, 2023 at 09:53
In the West it is mostly forgotten that in 1939 USSR and the Nazi Germany have signed the Ribbentrop-Molotov pact with the secret clause concerning th...
December 27, 2023 at 16:46
Why would democratic politicians have long-term goals? They will out of office in a few years and for now they have to win the popularity contest... T...
December 06, 2023 at 12:59
Venezuelans have just voted that half of their neighbor belongs to them... If others can annex their neighbors, why not them? Also it poses serious qu...
December 06, 2023 at 12:16
It is not an excuse, but an explanation. Ukrainian nationalism is a direct response to growing Russian nationalism. A big neighbor with the president ...
December 01, 2023 at 13:35
Great, so we agree that nationalists inciting genocide are equally bad, no matter whether they explicitly invoke Nazi symbols or not. So we can includ...

Anyone knowing even a bit of Russian history (and from this post it is very clear that it is not you) knows that before Wagner Group started recruitin...
November 30, 2023 at 22:14
Anyone who knows anything about Russian history (that one made me laugh out loud!) knows perfectly well that there are quite a few people branding Naz...
November 30, 2023 at 20:23
You and others complain all the time about the supposed US hegemony and how everything in Ukraine happens due to foreign influence. But then it is not...
November 26, 2023 at 17:38
A pledge of neutrality would not resolve the underlying conflict any more than the pledges of Minsk agreements did. Russia denies Ukraine the right to...
November 26, 2023 at 11:01
The authors of the very article you quote describe Ukraine as neutral till 2014. That depends on what the cooperation involves. Sweden has long cooope...
November 25, 2023 at 19:12
No, not 'some bureaucratic hangups', but a distinct change in the policy, which Yanukovych clearly stated in your own quote, and adopting the law that...

I have specifically stated that Ukraine has been neutral at the time of Crimea annexation. ssu has acknowledged that by repeating your own quote that ...
