Uh uh, did it ever occurred that Russia also signed in 1997 in May, the founding act on "Mutual Relations, Cooperation and Security between NATO and t...
You know, I've come to this conclusion myself too. Trump as the self centered narcissist genuinely admires the strong man Putin and Trumps actions hav...
Yes, well,... we have had Donald Trump, you know. And others. Not hard to find, actually. But your argumentation is totally reasonable. I think here w...
How about polls about NATO membership in Ukraine. Is that enough for you? https://euromaidanpress.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/06/nato3.jpg Due note pl...
War is also dying. (As obviously people can understand) If well over 137 Ukrainians died in two days of fighting, then that is about the number of 50 ...
But @"Baden", that is precisely what I'm talking with Finladization. The thing I continued: What you refer to is precisely what I referred to. It's al...
:up: Which really begs the question why. The idea of gaining physical territory is quite anachronistic. First it has huge political drawbacks and ever...
Oh I do understand. You cannot be more clear. I did try asking what you thought of the annexations and you have given a clear answer. Psychology doesn...
I agree that just saying "he's mad" is intellectually lazy and boring. Perhaps it should be described a bit better. That he is confined to a cabal tha...
Hardly. Likely it was simply that the neocons could hijack power in the US and used the "window of opportunity" given by 9/11. Besides, Saddam Hussein...
Yes. The obvious evidence is that Russia has annexed Crimea. Case closed. If that evidence for you of Russia having territorial desires for Ukraine, I...
If Ethiopia has made it so far, so will Russia. It will persist. Frail, bitter, troubled... or perhaps something even improves! I sure hope so, as it ...
It's really a serious question, not just propaganda. I think he has lost touch with his people. Doesn't care about what they think or where the econom...
Meaning that there already has been a war going on since 2014. Yet that doesn't justify Russia's actions. And when Russia has gone to war, it has been...
Benkei, the demands that Putin has made for NATO do effect existing NATO members. Not only aspirant members. Actually, the only "aspirant" members are...
It's telling that there are there are protests against the war in Russia. Not much, but something. Even Russia Today confirmed the protests: https://w...
I don't think so. Not at least in the same way. He hasn't written a long rambling text about how Finland is an artificial country and actually it woul...
But Garret, you likely know this forum. If one of us starts flaming, makes toxic ad hominems or promotes openly nazism, that member would be off from ...
Antifascism is something from the Soviet vocabulary. Simple fact is that Russia had it's Great Patriotic War against Hitler, so the idea of fighting N...
It's good that people find here some agreement. Of course some view that he (Putin) is entitled for this, while others do not. But the fact is, this i...
Sacrificed Ukraine? You think sacrificing Ukraine and Putin would be fine. And what is so wrong to respect the borders of sovereign states that earlie...
One battalion, that had a strength of 300 in 2014 isn't much in a 200 000 strong armed forces. (You know, company, battalion, regiment, brigade, divis...
Yes. And not even somebody that Victoria Nuland was talking about (a favorite trope of those favoring the Russian narrative use about the interim gove...
And which is that by your definition? Well, Putins accusations of a genocide in Donbass surely isn't true as is the line that Ukraine forms a threat t...
Let me get this straight: for you it doesn't matter that already 14000 have been killed in a limited war that now has been changed to unlimited conven...
The Svoboda party was in the interim government for some months and then didn't go anywhere in the elections. And it's been eight years since the inte...
Isaac, let's start from the facts, shall we. Oleh Tyahnybok wasn't ever installed to power. That simply is not correct. After the Maidan revolution th...
In the confusion of the Maidan revolution it would be understandable to take in the argument that "these are Nazis", but now, AFTER EIGHT YEARS, to re...
Ah! The Ukrainian government are nazis. Well, as I discussed with @"StreetlightX" earlier, there indeed still is this neonazi party in the Ukrainian P...
Likely because they are Russian paratroops and not GRU or intelligence troops. They haven't yet been ordered not to speak to any journalist, so they b...
Antonov Airport is just next to Kiev. Few kilometers from the city limits. Having there paratroops means that the armored spearheads from Belarus and ...
It's a lot, actually. It's the only thing that will stop imperialists like Putin. The Russians themselves. Nobody else will do anything. Or can do. Th...
Our politicians agree with this. But it's actions, not words that are important. And there are historical experiences of this. We here often forget th...
Åland Island are even demilitarized, so it's an easy picking for Putin, if that would happen. The border guards over there aren't much of a match and ...
And that's the big question for us. Hopefully both Sweden and Finland can decide together if to join NATO. Not to make a move behind the other one's b...
That was a week ago @"Benkei". You still think so? (At least I admitted I got Covid wrong at start, thanks to you and others, I changed my mind. It wa...
Which he possibly can use. In the Stalinist rhetoric to ESCALATE TO DE-ESCALATE the war. Russia’s military doctrine dictates the use of nuclear weapon...
Yeah. We do have states, nations and governments. They have to operate somehow. How they operate is that evil you talk about: politics. If you think a...
Interesting fact: And that's actually how close it was. Or how far it was, as you would have needed larger than life politicians to sell that membersh...
The neighboring countries and US and UK are giving them weapons. Lots of talk about Anti-tank guided missiles and manportable surface-to-air missiles ...
He isn't in Putin's inner circle. He was in Yeltsin's. And I guess recommending Yeltsin that Vladimir Putin would be his successor doesn't make you da...
I remember very vividly in a presentation when a German military attache to Finland said right to my face in the mid 1990's that this was a possible o...
If one thinks that every bad event that happens in the World because of US policy, to think that this is happening ONLY because of NATO enlargement wi...
It's obvious that the whole party is a mess. Do note that on the other hand, especially when not facing or speaking directly to the Trump supporting v...
