Just empty nothingness. The West had no problem reporting this interpretation and portraying the Minsk agreements as a brilliant move by Ukraine and t...
Calling counter-parties partners is pretty usual in corporate and diplomatic speech, rarely means an actual partnership. For example, you may here cor...
The paper is an analysis of existing US policy: You need to actually read the paper to play the "what does it say" game. The word "expand" is used bec...
Just gaslighting apologetics. What does Merkel say: Now this is well into the war. If she wanted to say that the goal of making Ukraine stronger was t...
For those interested in actual analysis and understanding, rather than just repeatedly gaslighting that a document doesn't say ... exactly what it pla...
What falsehoods, you don't bother to read the document and then want to play "what does the document mean" game. The document is perfectly clear: This...
It's just dumb discussing with you at this point. No one disputes American military support to Ukraine before the war started, and you have both Weste...
Really stupid quibble considering both the US and Ukraine has admitted that money and arms disappearing is a significant problem. However, I'm not say...
It's exactly what happened. We're at the WTF are you talking about stage of the debate. The RAND paper describes what will likely lead to "higher inte...
It's truly remarkable how people can really just not understand double standards and hypocrisy. Also, Nazi's at least tried to hide what they were doi...
I've literally been called a paid Russian intelligence officer by members of your "us", multiple times. Yet, I'm the only one who explained how US / N...
The first rule of start wars for profiteering club is: We don't talk about the previous wars. The second rule of start wars for profiteering club is: ...
Like, you're talking as if these people are accountable to someone or something and would need to like someday makeup justifications or something for ...
It's honestly incredible that you're able to get this close to the truth and yet not get it. The only thing to change is that the US bribes all the Uk...
You see, even these delusional "ultra idiots" can see the bus the Americans are pointing to Ukrainian elites to prepare (their people) to lie in front...
Again, unfortunately I still don't have too much time to deconstruct in detail all of your misconceptions and correct them, but I'll do a few. Yes, ob...
Before even getting to my own views on the issue of state sovereignty as an anarchist, the first problem with the sovereignty argument to justify West...
Though I agree with your basic point here, @"Benkei"'s issue seems to be the particularly with the story about the plan to blowup the pipelines being ...
I don't see where you get the idea that I'm reducing security concerns to invasion. Obviously invasion is topical for this discussion, but there are p...
The difference is that Vietnam was thousands of kilometres away and so the reason for the war was an abstract domino theory. There was no practical se...
Yes, the cause of total collapse would be financial. People can accept fighting a losing war with horrendous losses ... as long as they're paid. Likew...
As you're certainly aware, the writing is on the wall, but for the benefit of any others that may have been following my analysis, we are now at the r...
The strategy is the same of creating a "success story" for the Western media. This stunt replaces the crossing the Dnieper stunt. Ukraine has military...
Exact KIA and casualty figures are hard to come by, but I'd have no problem believing Russia has suffered 60 000 KIA. Seems reasonable. If your point ...
Which is exactly what Russia has done. I hope you do realize how stupid you sound, and the fact that your moving the goalposts from Mearsheimer can't ...
Mearsheimer literally wrote an article titled "The Case for a Ukrainian Nuclear Deterrent" in 1993 and has predicted since Eastward NATO expansion sta...
This is in no way the case. The US has no legitimate security concerns in Ukraine. You cannot invade the US from Ukraine. If Russia went and built up ...
Which planet are you living on? History is filled with invasions. The only thing that's unusual in terms of the last few decades it's not the US and c...
Well, real risk to Europeans that's for sure. It's unfortunate to see, being European myself, and will likely result in the right wing making things e...
People make business all the time; some successful, some not. Making things clear on paper is not difficult. Making things successful is the difficult...
This is true, but Europe and Russia would also anyways benefit from mutual peace. And if there was no US-China war then Europe, Russia and China would...
This is certainly true, but I think for now the US has as much as it can handle. There's also Biden's cognitive decline, could he handle an actual cri...
I think it's also important to consider this part too. If you occupy a place and expand your territory that way, but don't give the people in that ter...
I think they are, that's my argument here. Well they still want to deter the Russians from actually attacking them. Them mentioning Art. 5 does not re...
Agreed, no qualms from me here. This is why I focus on Poland. To expand the war you need willing front line participants and the only real candidate ...
Well I agree that the US wants more escalation and triggering some messy bigger Eastern European war with Russia if Ukraine front line completely coll...
That the bases are legitimate military targets doesn't mean Russia will strike them. Russia clearly wants to avoid a war with NATO (otherwise they cou...
And just to make good on my promise of mirthful pleasure, in response to Mr. Corrupt, senior constable, clearly committing to writing that crimes comm...
Well, be careful not to choke on your ambitions. I have no experience with this, though a fair amount of experience in compliance in general. My tryin...
The policy maximizes damage to Ukraine and damages Russia as a side effect. Maximizing damage to Russia would be just flooding in all the systems Ukra...
Sorry to break up the circle jerk again, but the issues of contention here are: 1. Regardless of what you think about Russia, countries in our system ...
Which is the point. Now, whether Russia's war is a just war is a different issue to following the law of armed conflict once a war is started. The law...
The first big difference is the Russians aren't committing a genocide in Ukraine, as I just explained. Russia is following the law of armed conflict p...
What makes it conclusively, unequivocally, for sure, take it to the bank, genocide is the starvation. Trying to reduce the argument of genocide to one...
Although I don't doubt Trump has committed all sorts of crimes, the following explanation by the BBC: Does seem honestly bizarre to me. Prosecuting a ...
You do realize how many Ukrainians have died in the war, how many maimed, how much the country has been depopulated (of mostly younger people in what ...
Your peace suggestions are propaganda because they are completely unrealistic: Is so unrealistic it's not worth even entertaining for the sake of argu...
