Thanks for the chuckle. Now look at a map of Ukraine. -
‘No turning back’: how the Ukraine war has profoundly changed the EU
heybruce replied to Social Media's topic in World News
Here's how you are supposed to do it: "The conflict in eastern Ukraine began in April 2014 with low-level fighting between the Ukrainian military and Russian-backed separatist rebels who seized some towns in predominantly Russian-speaking eastern Ukraine. It has since escalated to outright-if-undeclared war between Russia and Ukraine. Separatist rebels began popping up in eastern Ukraine shortly after Russia had invaded and annexed Crimea, where supposed Crimean separatists actually turned out to be unmarked Russian special forces." https://www.vox.com/2014/9/3/18088560/ukraine-everything-you-need-to-know Still looks like Russia is the aggressor. -

How does any of that change the fact that this is a war of choice started by Russia with its invasion of Ukraine? -

And now you want to surrender Ukraine (and who knows what other countries) to Putin's empire building. -

Why lie when you can mislead. Look into the status of the war at the time, with special attention to where Soviet forces were concentrated, then tell us what you expected to come out of the negotiations. -

How many of those countries have you been to? Did you ask any of them if they consider themselves western or Russian? -

Don't worry. If or when Ukraine gets tired of fighting for survival I'm sure it will notify the countries supporting it. -

Sources? I'm curious about how and where you got your breakdown of the assets of the top 1%, particular their defense stock investments. I thought most of the obscenely rich were getting their money from software businesses. -

Did you not see Czechoslovakia, Hungary and Germany on the list? BTW: How many WESTERN countries has the US invaded since WWII? -

Right. World War II would have ended a lot sooner if Britain had negotiated with Hitler right after Dunkirk. (sarcasm for those who can't tell) -

You boast about the number of news sources you read yet you never post any links to support your claims and opinions. That's ok when you're preaching to the converted, but it doesn't work here. You like to throw out the name Nuland and suggest there is something sinister there. There isn't. Here is the most "sinister" thing I could find on Nuland, a discussion between her and Ambassador Pyatt in which it is clear that they would prefer that the pro-western opposition come out ahead in the protests. https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957 That's it. If you have anything more substantial please share it. But use credible sources, don't claim you have superior knowledge and expect us to believe you. -

"Shame on the US for engineering this conflict" Apparently questioning your motives for making such a nonsensical claim violates community standards, so I'll just point out what is obvious: Russia invaded Ukraine. Russia "engineered" the conflict. It's also worth noting the the person acting like Adolf Hitler, the ultimate nazi, is Putin. -

Once again, when do you think Ukraine had an opportunity to negotiate? When Putin was denying he intended to invade, or after he invaded? -

"I don't think that Putin is going to move on to other Countries after Ukraine" You haven't paid much attention to what Putin has been saying and doing, have you? -
