Maybe e has friends in high places… It takes a “special” kind to spend 12 hrs a day online and post tens of thousands of content and substance free micro posts. I can’t. I have a life.

No amount of evidence or proof or facts will convince you so let’s not waste time playing stupid games. You hate Putin/Russia so much that you can’t even bring yourself to spell it correctly. Your prerogative of course. I couldn’t care less.

If the western leaders claim to be the adults in the room and thinks that Putin is a mad man, then surely they should be able to see that their actions will only lead to further escalation. They are playing a dangerous game of bluff against a nation that rightly perceives an existential threat to itself from the US.

Hmm… sounds suspiciously like what they are doing across the Taiwan Straits by supporting secession, supplying arms and training soldiers in Taiwan and the Philippines. Surely they are not trying to provoke a conflict with China? Although I have heard a few US generals stating openly that they expect war with China by next year.

How many hours a day do you spend on AN? I’m sure the advertisers love you. You seem to respond to practically all my posts within seconds. Or maybe you’re a bot. Yeah, that sounds about right.

Of course the landing is fake. Every westerner knows that. Except for NASA. They are requesting for a sample of the soil collected from this fake mission. How gullible can they be?

You won’t get a lot of posters agreeing with you. Most of the posters here only ever engage in ad hominem attacks when they can’t rebut the facts.

Not at all. If you’re on the other side, any sources that you link to will be instantly shot down as propaganda or outright lies, if the link even matches AN’s standards in the first instance. This is conclusive evidence for me that those posters totally ignore any reports, articles or opinions that might show possible justification for Russia’s decision to initiate this SMO. In, the majority of posters even refuse to consider this a SMO, preferring instead to label it as an unprovoked assault, land grab etc etc. While two wrongs don’t make a right, just calling out one side is hypocritical. I generally do not engage with hypocrites as they are among the lowest of the low. Fact that I generally respond to your posts should be proof enough that I don’t consider you in this camp.

I’m glad to see that China is becoming less authoritarian than America 😂

Your “question” bore no relation to my post. Most people I’ve spoken to hates America. What’s your point?

This amounts to saying no more than saying, "My information is better than yours" which, in absence of proof, is in itself a demonstration of bias and prejudice No, it just means that I have more information and therefore am in a better position to reach a better conclusion. whilst Russia might have reasons to be concerned about any increase in Ukraine's military capabilities, does this give her the right to invade and demilitarise her neighbour? Powerful countries don’t bother with what’s right or wrong when it comes to matters of national security. Might is right. Just look at America. What’s good for the goose is good for the gander, right?

Was it you that said “content free micro post”? That was an absolute gem and the best take down I’ve ever read.

Sigh indeed. It’s the FDFA that states that Putin has repeatedly and publicly refused to attend. That is not evidence. Russia should have been invited and if and when they refuse to attend, then the west can claim the moral high ground. In any event, the fact that Russia was not invited makes the whole event a sham and a farce and most of the global majority views it as such, in my opinion. It was also reported that Putin demanded China not go. LOL. Reported in western media of course. I wonder how any intelligent individual can gobble up such nonsense and believe it to be the absolute truth. China might well send a low level delegation for appearance sakes. No high ranking official will bother with an exercise in futility.

Those of us who are not biased and prejudiced look elsewhere for information regarding the causes of this conflict and the real situation on the battlefield. Anything that shows even remotely that Russia might be justified or that Russia might be gaining the upper hand is immediately labelled as propaganda or being an apologist and even being labelled as a communist by some less educated.

No one wishes for never ending war? Let’s see.. No negotiations with Russia as long as Putin is President- can you think of a more stupid law apart from 90day report? Peace summit without inviting the main protagonist, in reality the only party that can materially affect the course of the war Further escalation by the west on a daily basis I don’t see a single action by the west that makes any attempt to end this conflict. In fact, it seems to me that certain western powers are more than happy to keep the war going as it is extremely profitable business. Same same with trying to provoke a hot war in Asia. After all, it’s not as if their own citizens are dying, not that they would care anyway, apart from hurting their re-election chances.

The bedrock of his argument in the video (listen) is based on Putin, not Russia, not the Russian people, not the well being of the world, but Putin Ai if you know what the Russian people want and what’s good for the world. Is everything that your elected leader (I presume Biden feel free to correct me if I’m wrong) does in the interests of and well being of all Americans? This is similar to what some of you claim, that you don’t hate the Chinese, only the party. That’s absolute nonsense. Anyone selling this video to mean Putin is good either lacks understanding or is pushing propaganda No one is saying whether Putin is good or bad. This video merely states what Prof. Mearsheimer believes are the reasons for the conflict. This is what a lot of you fail to grasp. This conflict is not about Putin but about Russia’s security.

Wow. You have spoken to all, what, 70-80 million people? Amazing.

It’s sad how many people nowadays depends on links as the gospel truth instead of using their god given senses to critically evaluate and analyse facts and to reach a credible conclusion. Any article by a western based, government sponsored media is tainted with bias, prejudice and an agenda. I’m sure there are links from pro-Russian media that would equally support my statement but I don’t trawl the internet for such and in any case, such links will not be allowed on this forum. If you can show me a video or a transcript of Putin saying that he wants to occupy Ukraine, then I’m more than willing to retract my post. Instead, I arrived at my conclusion based on the actions I have seen taken for example the size of the military force, the willingness and intention to arrive at an agreement within days of the first shot being fired and till today, the express intention from the Russian side to have an acceptable negotiated settlement in spite of their inevitable victory.

The complexity of these ties is further illustrated by the international dynamics of misinformation. The collaboration between Russian and Chinese media to spread disinformation, as seen in the Solomon Islands’ elections and coordinated narratives on various geopolitical issues, demonstrates the shared tactics and goals of these governments. This convergence makes attributing specific disinformation campaigns to any single country increasingly difficult. I would say that Russian and Chinese media has a long way to go before they can even begin to compete with western media in terms of spreading misinformation and propaganda and outright lies.

Weren’t some people burned at the stake not so long ago? That’s seems a lot more barbaric. In my view, all religions should be banned.

It could well be true. After all, he purchased an inferior EV (Ford Mach-e) and the vehicle bears an American number plate so straight off, his intellectual capacity is already under question

The same tired, old playbook that the west tries to use against China Xinjiang. Genocide, cultural genocide, deportation of children, banning of the native language, false imprisonment, slave labour… Coupled with the supply of arms and ammo and the training of the military, exactly what happened in Ukraine. Same old, same old. The world has seen through this and yet there are still people, even on here, gullible enough to believe this. Is the ISW that Nuland’s organisation or is it another one?

As expected, ad hominem attacks when you are unable to rebut. Came much sooner than I expected though, barely an hour since my posting.

Oh dear. It seems like the global majority has spoken. 160 nations have been invited but are any countries of significance attending?

I don’t think you can handle the truth. But just in case you’re genuinely wondering, I direct you to an interview conducted by Mr. John Anderson, former Deputy PM of Australia and leader of the National Party with Professor Mearsheimer whereby the latter gave his views. I’m expecting some ad hominem attacks by the usual vile posters on these two gentlemen. It takes a seriously under developed mind to favour the arguments of retirees living life on the cheap in Thailand compared to the thoughts and knowledge of two internationally known personalities.
