Everything you say is right out of "Russian Shill Handbook" -- I think you guys are up to the 156th edition now? No one is talking about America directly Russia's latest war as a combatant -- only Russia shills. "WhY DoN'T YoU EnLiSt If YoU SuPpOrT UkRaINe?" 🤣

"I don't support Russia, but I hate Ukraine, and I take every opportunity I can to repeat the exact same arguments Russian apologists use. But no, I don't support Russia. Not me. Nope. I just want peace. Peace is all I want. Oh, and for Ukraine to be destroyed. That too. Oh, and for Russkiy Mir to go on forever. And also, for Putin's glorious reign to never end, peace be upon him. That's all I want. Oh -- also, to make borscht (a Russian invention, NOT a Ukrainian one, not matter what some BANDERITES) out of Ukrainian babies. Oh, and to suck Putin's toes. What I'm saying is I just want peace. And Ukraine destroyed. Stop lying. All of you are shills. I do NOT support Russia."

Our daily reminder that the ONLY people who talk about "NuKeS! WW3! EsCaLaTION!" are Kremlin shills and the Western simps who service them. "Let us do what we want or you're at fault for everything" isn't a very persuasive strategy to people not accustomed to living under the heel of a dictator's jackboot.

"We should have destroyed Russia in 1945! But since we didn't I support them now." The clown show continues.

The Communists' attempted coup failed -- that was 1991 dude. Spectacular footage online.

You yourself know there are plenty of arguments on Ukraine's side, even if you like Russia's better. What an utterly stupid reply, Yagoda. For a guy who prides himself on being some kind of Ukrainian history expert, you sure lost the forest for the trees; plus my answer is completely correct. Send in the clowns... nevermind, they're here 🤡🤡🤡

So what you're saying is: The number one reason people hate and fear Russia and turn to the West is... Russia. An indisputable conclusion. Thanks for expanding NATO, Vladimir!

I'll disagree with both of you and say it doesn't matter. Bombers are a legitimate military target in war. There's no need to justify it, neither is there any need to cry "TERRORISM" when legitimate military targets (like bombers) are destroyed. And here's my reminder that Putin intentionally, daily, routinely targets civilians, and the dread retaliation Mr. Dinsdale says is coming will, as always, 100% falls on civilians. Keep this in mind: Ukraine hits military aircraft and you guys call them terrorists, and Russia hits hospitals and you guys call them heroes.

Your pro-Russia argument is SO transparent, amigo -- It doesn't matter when it was "historically" Ukraine. It matters when it was ACTUALLY Ukraine. So the answer is 1954. And as Russia is the center of your arguments on these issues, I also offer 1992, when Russia established diplomatic relations with Ukraine, having recognized it in 1991. But you knew all this -- clearly you've wikipedia'd up on this stuff, as you keep challenging people to the Ukraine version of a slap fight, and everyone just rolls their eyes and moves on. I indulged you, so you're welcome!

Sorry to be argumentative, but I won't even call it "retaliate." He would intentionally go on killing civilians and needs no excuse to do it more. Little men need to act tough -- compensation for all kinds of things, you know.

Sorry but 2K km in 3 years is NOT substantial. Period. This is a stalled, failed third invasion and what keeps Putin going is the knowledge that his life is at risk is he can't make a pie out of the turd he laid.

Happily, it's not. No one is "poking the bear." They're fighting back against a vicious aggressor that routinely, intentionally bombs civilian targets and has invaded three times in just the past few years. Of course Putin will retaliate. And 100% against civilian targets. Fear of the bully punching you back is not a reason not to hit him hard and often. It's the only way bullies, and dictators, learn.

It's really not, Dinsdale. Ukraine is 233000 square kilometers. At this rate they'll take over Ukraine in (233K/2k)3 in 349,500 years.

For sure it's part of the centuries-old Russian mentality to believe in 1) the superiority of Russian culture over all 2) the absolute right of Russia to permanently control any land it owned in the past, in perpetuity and 3) that enemies are all around it, constantly plotting. These things alone explain Russia's constant warring on its neighbors, and it's particular hatred of Ukraine, leaving out anything more recent. So, again, I agree with you. Edit: I just realized how strangely similar Russia and Islam are, in the 3 points above.

This is a really stupid line of argument, Yagoda. It really makes you look dumb.

Putin has been in power for over twenty years, so "decades in the works" is accurate.

Oh no! POKING THE BEAR! 🤣 Kindergartens, playgrounds, hospitals, and apartment buildings will pay the price, it's true. I just love the Russian mindset -- we can do ANYTHING WE WANT TO YOU... but if you fight back IT'S ESCALATION

From a comment above it sounds like you support Israel in some way (I do too). If someone called Israel a "stain", a fake country, and openly cheered on Hamas/Iran/Hezbollah, would it be fair to say that person was a "Jew hater"? I would say so, and I bet you do too.

Russia itself recognized Ukraine as a real country. Literally the entire world does. What a strange thing to take your stand on, Yagoda.

Your hatred for it goes far beyond it simply being "another country's problem."

OK, I'll take the bait. Why do you hate Ukraine so much and wish its total destruction?

Far, far more people would be alive today if the Soviets hadn't resisted -- tens of millions of them. Incredible that you'd argue that they should have laid down their arms (and that "US warmongers" shouldn't have supported them so much!).

Yahoo! Another one! Stand proud, Putin lovers! You will surely be rewarded for your loyalty -- your dignity, the ability to look your children in the eye, and your very soul were a small price to pay for your contribution to RUSSKIY MIR. So if Ukraine had merely paid back its electricity and gas bills it wouldn't have been invaded three times? Who knew? Incredible all of this killing came down to utility bills. So I'm sure you'll agree that Ukraine has the full and total right to defend itself. And that means its attacks on legitimate military targets aren't "terrorism", as you claimed.

Yes you did! Well done! A rare honest man 🙂

One of Putin's "victories" has been enlarging NATO. Another one that I just learned this morning? Getting Poland and the Baltics to withdraw from the Ottawa convention on land mines. Turns out when your neighbor is a psychopath who continually invades you and its other neighbors... people take measures to protect themselves. WINNING
