They are also extremely toxic and disgusting, openly wishing the death of folks, calling you a Nazi, me a rapist... I understand their nervousness. Th...

Somalia does not actually exist. As a nation, it's been a fiction since 1992. I know, i've been there. Somaliland does exist, and so does Puntland. An...

@"Streetlight" Propagandized fucking morons in March 2022: "Go Putin! Kill all the Nazis in Ukraine!"

I had to look him up, and yet I owe him hours of laughter. Genius.

Sesame Street is the best thing to come out of America, ever.

:-) Apologies, it's 'Methuselah' in English. According to the Book of Genesis, Methuselah was the son of Enoch, the father of Lamech, and the grandfat...

Exactly. Therefore the discussion must move on. I'm not interested in some archeological discussion on how the war in Ukraine goes back to Methuselah.

At the beginning there was a sort of battle for public opinion going on, with well funded efforts on both sides of the propaganda war doing their best...

Give them some time.

You couldn't recognize a fact if it bit your ass, and you can't read. Learn some English, maybe?

Significance is highly subjective. Some people like slavery, others don't.

Don't be naïve. Russia did not actually attack. It's all fake news from NATO. @"Streetlight" was right. He usually knows best, especially when it come...

This assumes that a victorious Russia would not have jailed, tortured, rapped and assassinated the civilians under their control. There is a reason wh...

Agreed. Supposedly, it would also be viewed negatively by many inhabitants of Crimea.

Aka trolling

By the way, why do you lie so much? What's the point of lying on a message board? You think people won't notice? You're wrong.

It's just one of your many lies. You can't deal with the truth.

One can condemn an attacker, that's fine, but it's usually believed that people have a right to defend themselves. So it's not so okay to condemn a de...

The Russians are not defending themselves. They are attacking. There is no comparison. Ethically we must condemn such an aggression. It would even out...

It is has to do with the Ukrainians being in a better position to judge what they ought to do than us. Both Draghi and Macron insisted, rightly so IMO...

So what?

Thanks for your interest but that's not what I am looking for here. I already have a fan club. The offer has been rejected by Ukraine.

A peace agreement with a totally defeated Russia would be relatively easy to arrive at and to enforce through whatever international mechanism à la bl...

I don't want the war to continue. This is not about me. This offer you mentioned dates from early March and was the basis for the talks in Antalya, Tu...

What it may look like now is this: either they stop pushing back the Russians at the pre-24 Feb border and allow Putin for some face saving way out, o...

I think Macron did: The "delivery of heavy weapons to Kyiv" is meant to help fight off the invasion, and thus "re-establish Ukraine within its histori...

Why, I'm challenging you to read and try and understand what those leaders I quoted have actually said. They didn't say: "peace now and no matter what...

I'm not interested in pie-in-the-sky analysis, you got that right. It's facile to go around an internet board yelling "Peace!" It's harder to face rea...

Okay then, go and speak to Putin and Zelenskyy about your non-descript 'avenues'... Don't waste my time if you don't have the slightest idea.

There's no peace offer on the table from Putin that I am aware of. If you want to make one up because you want to argue, go right ahead: tell us what ...

When did Putin make any precise demand, and what are these terms, pray tell? That's what I am saying too.

Can you propose an alternative, or are you pathetic too?

In my reasoning, 3) follows logically from 1) and 2). So it is a logical necessity, not something I want, but what the situation as described by @"Ben...

I gave you my answer already -- and then you veered into emotional language. Let's try again, slower. 1) The conundrum you described has no solution t...

If you ask what I like, I'll respond. So, I shall leave my feelings out of it when you leave my feelings out of it... Try and think logically, when yo...

I just want an aggression punished.

Agreed on both points. When Zelenskyy proposes direct talks between Putin and him, he's probly trolling Putin, knowing that his proposal is likely to ...

I haven't proposed anything. You misread the exchange. First thing first, Russia has to be defeated and repelled from Ukraine. Once that is done, and ...
