The talk about 'fighting to the last soldier' reminds me of the words of a President of another country, years ago, when India was, according to some ...

As long as we are in a military strategy discussion, why didn't Russia simply do this with cruise missiles to destroy military targets? Why not simply...
March 12, 2022 at 03:44
Russian soldiers are getting killed as well. Maybe we would like to see footage of that. I do not think pillaging supermarkets is going to lose them t...

This documentary seems to say that NATO was a threat to Russia. DW - Germany Media. That video has some other material worth quoting, but later. 4:08 ...

Zelenskyy is in a fix, maybe he has a gun to his head, as they say. Maybe he has two guns to his head. As a human being how will he react? That is why...
March 12, 2022 at 03:16
Not the government of the United States. I get the impression that Obama, Biden are working for someone else. Trump did not follow orders so I guess h...
March 12, 2022 at 03:09
Seeing the invasion maps make me feel a little queasy. How many have been killed... and the injuries. I guess Russia did not have the economic clout t...
March 12, 2022 at 03:03
Putin won't retreat unless he has to, because it does not make sense to give up half way. Not because of NATO - Ukraine may still not get NATO members...
March 12, 2022 at 03:00
Maybe this was the plan to make a martyr of out Ukraine. If getting people killed is OK with you, then I guess the sky is the limit.
March 12, 2022 at 02:52
I think it is time to re-consider this 'imperialist' categorization of Putin. Here are the former Russian states: do you think Putin is going to invad...
March 12, 2022 at 02:50
Only Trump? I can point out truths and lies that all Presidents have told. If you can't tell the truth from the lies it is a problem, Trumps or Obama'...
March 12, 2022 at 02:42
What is the way out? Zelensky has to be in a position where he can be excused for agreeing to a ceasefire: maybe half the country destroyed and he is ...
March 11, 2022 at 13:49
Let me see if I understand you here. Russia forms a narrative around labs. OK. The West leaks intel ... no this is not leaked intel, this is an assump...
March 11, 2022 at 13:45
Don't you think that is one of the possible explanations but not the only one? Probabilities aside.
March 11, 2022 at 11:39
Any question can be evaluated as to whether it is a sensible question or not. Going even further, I can tell if I would have wanted or if I wanted to ...
March 11, 2022 at 11:38
Could we establish whose version we trust? Does anyone here trust the US Governments official pronouncements or are these to be met with skepticism? D...
March 11, 2022 at 11:23
It does not make sense that someone who has led the Russia for so many years is stupid. If you and I know the above facts, doesn't he know? He may be ...
March 11, 2022 at 11:15
Yes indeed, but do you note the way casualties are bandied about like a set of brownie points for each side? These are people too. The more Ukranian c...
March 11, 2022 at 02:34
I could not get past the first few minutes. What a disgusting piece of anti-Putin propaganda. From the classist "unemployed spy" to the accusations of...

Let's look at some evidence. Headlines today: Russian forces crawl closer to 'fortress' Kyiv Russian troops advance three miles towards Ukraine's capi...

There is the interview with Charlie Rose: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qKT-XmvIwKM This is my opinion. Putin seems to be a realist, an immensely pr...
March 10, 2022 at 17:30
That's a hopeful analysis. Dirty business this war. Any war for that matter. I hope somebody wins, quickly. No one seems to agree with me that Ukraine...
March 10, 2022 at 17:23
It is a selling point for whatever. Rallying public opinion with private opinion is key.
March 10, 2022 at 17:11
Two things really trouble me here: 1) Seeing NATO countries standing by and watching by while Ukraine is invaded, having the most advanced weapons in ...
March 10, 2022 at 11:00
Whatever happened to the long term? If Ukraine agrees to keeping the present government, staying out of NATO "forever" (who would have thought Putin w...
March 10, 2022 at 07:58
Objectively, this is a crimminal circus. Defensive weapons? Helmets, ammunition, rifles... I hope the NATO has better stuff than this at home. https:/...

Constantly reminding ourselves of the power of the rich seems to be a self-defeating exercise, gloating over us. I propose Twitter remove the accounts...

It is easier to believe that brute force prevails over intelligence, this looks like what has happened here. We only have one superpower now, remember...

The Chomsky article again is a good fame of reference: OK let's accept this as true. From experience. We can see how that works out, with the the alle...

Before I got made stupid by Fox news, I developed a strategy for dealing with the news. I watch and read them all, CNN, FOX, RT, Sputnik and try to bu...

Wow. The Economic(s) reasons for war. "A heart-rending but necessary war" sounds as morally empty as it sounds macabre.
March 09, 2022 at 16:46
So it seems we agree. About the Greenwald article, however, I noticed some of the images : Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones and the other guy I don't recogn...
March 09, 2022 at 16:43
For the record, I do not believe any of that. That is called the fringe isnt' it?

Then you will have to define 'defeated'.

You mean FOX news? I provided a link to a show on an American cable news channel, FOX news, and I am sorry if it offended anybody. It is supposed to b...

I am curious as to how you view the Battle of France.
March 09, 2022 at 01:39
The law exists for a purpose. When civilians start shooting, all civilians become suspect. In this case their lives become much more dangerous, let's ...
March 09, 2022 at 01:25
Yes it is puzzling like an accident waiting to happen and someone waiting for that accident to happen. I hope it ends soon.
March 08, 2022 at 10:38
Looking at ways to stop this terrible war. Could it have been prevented? If Putin is all-powerful, unstoppable, there is no way to stop him. If he is ...
March 08, 2022 at 06:54
Thanks for the quote. So Putin actually said it. This is what he thinks, and I agree with him. The rhetoric of NATO countries is not about the common ...
March 08, 2022 at 01:16
It reminds me of another lyric, and I can't help thinking of the innocent child who becomes a cold hearted imperialist.
March 07, 2022 at 15:20
My point is simply that a population, Russian or otherwise, do not believe their government en masse. This could even be a form of rebellion, or prote...

Are you saying that reports of Nazification on Ukraine have been greatly exaggerated? I agree with you there. There are some extreme right wing partie...

Protests are good. That means democracy (or whatever they have over there in Russia) is alive if not unwell. I fully support protests. Anti-war protes...

The word Justification is used a lot. Here is the definition: Are we talking about 1 (a) or (b) ? Acceptable in terms of, for example, the UN Charter?
