You really don't have the first clue of what you're talking about@Hughinn if you're going to call someone stupid, at least make a coherent argument. If you're going to call someone misinformed then at least provide facts.
You do know the difference between fact and opinion, right? This is not a fact:
"In fact, the only argument against the observation that this could have easily been prevented by simple low cost diplomacy by US NATO Ukraine alliance is "Putin is a megalomaniac cartoon supervillain bent on world domination" which as stupid as it sounds."
Neither is this:
"Fact is, with the internal economy Russia has and the largest raw natural resource pool in the world, it's safe to say anything short of a full out revolution in Moscow and Russia will come out of this in relatively better shape economically than most of west and definitely militarily better than Ukraine."
It's just your opinion and world view, and you have nothing to back it up. In fact since 2018 the US produces more oil than any other country, more than Saudi Arabia. In fact the US tried brokering diplomacy, Turkey and Germany did too. So don't call people ignorant for not sharing your view just because you think your intelligence is superior to everyone else's, while you probably haven't graduated high school.
We all know this war does not start if Russia doesn't send their soldiers into Ukraine. We all know this war ends the day Russian soldiers leave Ukraine. What possible fact or counter-argument can you make to that? It's not lik
e Russia was attacked like we were in Pearl Harbor or on 9/11. You can't blame anyone else for this.
Do you even understand what you just copied and pasted? I'll lay it out for you in 9th grade-speak since you obviously didn't graduate high school: It says arguments over whether or not Ukraine joins NATO could lead to civil war and Russia intervening. Well Ukraine never did join NATO. So, that doesn't matter.
And even if it did, that not a justification for war. A "feeling of encirclement" and "reduced influence in a region" is not a just cause for war.
He still punched you in the face and that's assault. He doesn't get a "get out of jail free card" because he warned you. He doesn't get to say "he was pissing in my yard so I declared war on him." Not to mention the Ukrainians were never in Russia's yard. Russia came into Ukraine's territory and started killing people.
What does Cuba have to do with anything? Nuclear tipped missiles that could reach most of the US were given to Cuba. We haven't given Ukraine anything that could even reach Russian territory, except HIMARS and they promised they wouldn't attack Russian territory with that - and they haven't. And we never went to war with Cuba. We established a blockade and had the missiles removed by diplomatic means.
Your attempts to justify this invasion will not stand the test of time. 5 years from now nobody will be saying Russia was totally justified for invading because Ukraine was getting friendly with the West and getting more anti-Russia.
@Hughinn The war never starts if Russia doesn't invade. The war ends the day Russian troops go home. Russia was never threatened or attacked. There is no one else to blame here. It's very simple. What about that do you not understand?

What exactly provoked Russia into attacking them? They got some NATO weapons that can't reach Moscow? They didn't like the leadership in Ukraine back in 2014, 8 years ago? Russian speaking people at the border felt persecuted? They're not a good Russian neighbor like Belarus? These are not just causes for an invasion. You're reaching. No one threatened or attacked Russia.You can remain the gutless cunt you are and pretend this isn't provoking the warned response. But your not in charge of Russia's national security either.

What you don't understand is Putin considers Ukraine a part of Russia, or more accurately the Soviet Union - which he believes never should have been dissolved. His own words were:

"Ukraine is not just a neighboring country for us. It is an inalienable part of our own history, culture and spiritual space." and Ukraine is "infected with the virus of nationalism." And he says the collapse of the Soviet Union is one of history's "great tragedy's." You don't understand this and yet you're calling others stupid.
It's not much different than the Southern states seceding from our union and Lincoln starting a civil war and the first draft to reunite them. Only Lincoln's war was about slavery and Putin's is about fake Nazis who apparently persecute Russians.
Since when does a cunt like you get to decide what's "morally justified"?He overestimated the strength of his military and decided to flex it's muscles. Now that his military has been exposed as much weaker than he thought he has no moral justification for what he's done. It's 100% imperialism. It's like us going into Iraq, only being able to control 20% of the country, and still claiming they have WMD. And people like you are really struggling to provide that justification for Russia. A neighbor pissing in your yard so you punch him in the mouth doesn't begin to justify the war in Ukraine.
Yes, because Putin is "fond" of the former Soviet Union but doesn't want to rebuild it. What the hell are you smoking lolYour really an idiot not to see it.
No one is stealing, robbing, or shitting on Russia and even if they were that doesn't justify an invasion. That doesn't justify war.Cunts don't get to run around the world disrespecting, stealing, robbing and shitting on other people without fear of someone standing up to them.
That's because you don't have any ground to stand on here. Try to make it as complicated and complex as you can and still the war never starts without the Russian invasion, still the war ends the moment the Russians go home, still the Russians were never threatened or attacked. Still there is no justification for what they did - no matter how much you try. It is a bully trying to pick on a smaller kid. It's so easy to see this, and with those facts in place you can't convince reasonable people otherwise.then I'm not going to waste my time trying to educate such an idiot.

Putin, and most Russians, thought they had this superpower military and they could run right over Kiev in 2 days with it, with a 40 mile long convoy. They could say "we're getting rid of Nazis" and it won't matter it's a lie because no one could stop it.
Now it matters. Now they have to justify it. And this is the garbage you come up with? Someone pissed on their lawn? You really go punch your neighbor in the face because he took a piss on your lawn? What kind of neighbor are you? You need to "study very hard" to understand "the origins of the Azrov battalion" to really understand this?

What facts? You're still confusing facts with opinion.I've presented you with history and facts and you argument against it is mere childish nonsense.
Ukrainians did not go across the border to Russia and spit on Russians and shit in their yard. And even if they did, it doesn't justify Russians coming to Ukraine and killing thousands.They spit right in Russia's face and shit in their yard daring them to do something about it.
What facts? You're still confusing facts with opinion.
These are not facts:
"These are the proud grandsons of the Galatian SS black sun badge bona fide fuckin Nazis. And they're in Ukraine right now fighting alongside Muslim extremist groups in Ukraine. And those ain't Putins boys. They're Joe Biden and zelenskys boys.
And now they have rockets, guns, bombs and cash."
It's your opinion.
And you don't need to go on and on with your version of history and facts trying to confuse the issue when it's very clear who attacked who and was not threatened or harmed in any way when they did so. There is nothing you can say that overcomes that. It's embarrassing.

Ukrainians did not go across the border to Russia and spit on Russians and shit in their yard. And even if they did, it doesn't justify Russians coming to Ukraine and killing thousands.
Russia thought they had a superpower military and thought they could bully their neighbors. They didn't. If Russia stops attacking, the war ends. If Ukraine stops defending themselves, Ukraine ends. It's no more complicated than that.
The US State Dept did not cross the border into Russia and spit in the face of Russians and shit in their yard. Even if they did it's not a justification for invading Ukraine.No, the Ukraine people did not spit in the faces of Russian leaders.
The US state department did that.
Yeah and the EU has already said they will rebuild it once the Russian troops leave. But Russia will never be the same after it's exposed how weak their military is, after Putin has lost a war with a smaller, weaker neighbor. How long will Putin live? How long will republics like Chechnya and Daastan stay a part of Russia?Ukraine, has already lost you dumbfuxk. Thier country has been pounded into rubble large parts are now occupied probably permanently and now they owe trillions of dollars to most corrupt regime on the planet.
Well yeah, but first strike total annihilation and dismantlement of Russian state would have been bad optics.But America is the current world empire and had the power to prevent this,
It seems to me that the argument is pointless, if you still believe the media, I think there is nothing to discuss with you.Well the economy is a whole lot worse in Russia than in Germany or France, and that should continue through the winter. Now in Russia they are taking people from their jobs and sending them to war.
There was an interview done with a young Russian man who spoke highly of the war and it's virtues and then they gave him paperwork to sign up to fight it himself and he ran off as fast as his legs could carry him.
We saw this with Vietnam - once you started sending people to war who didn't want to be there you had problems. The people there are surviving, not winning, and the people not there have a lot of negativity towards the idea they could soon be there. And their family is upset about it too.
One thing to remember is that if Russia stops attacking, the war ends. If Ukraine stops defending themselves, Ukraine ends. Ukraine and the West are not responsible for this war.
Reasoned post, thanks for the literate and clear position. And not this heresy to be written aboveAnother stupid post.
We've got thousands of citizens in jail right now over an anti government protest back on Jan 6.
Our own economy is tanking it's not stopping the warmongering bastards here from howling to support Ukraine.
Fact is, with the internal economy Russia has and the largest raw natural resource pool in the world, it's safe to say anything short of a full out revolution in Moscow and Russia will come out of this in relatively better shape economically than most of west and definitely militarily better than Ukraine.
Of we had intelligent and honest leadership they would calling for both sides to negotiate a ceasefire immediately and begin debating conditions to end the war completely.
The best the west can hope for is that Ukraine puts up enough of a fight to weaken Russia enough for the money and lives spent to worth it to the western ogliarchs.
Because Ukraine has already lost, their country has been pounded into rubble large parts are now occupied probably permanently, and they're now helplessly in debt to the most corrupt regime on the planet.
What hope for any meaningful independence can the Ukrainian people have now? They were spent as human fodder in a war for the expansion of the world monetary fund into Eastern Europe.
The US State Dept did not cross the border into Russia and spit in the face of Russians and shit in their yard. Even if they did it's not a justification for invading Ukraine.
What the hell are you even talking about? More about Eastern European history and how you really, really need to study it? How it totally justifies attacking someone when you were not threatened or attacked yourself?
Yeah and the EU has already said they will rebuild it once the Russian troops leave. But Russia will never be the same after it's exposed how weak their military is, after Putin has lost a war with a smaller, weaker neighbor. How long will Putin live?

Unfortunate, but it is as it is and now we have to deal with consequences of half-assing the collapse of the Soviet Union and not dealing with Communists properly.
This @hometeam is the type of person who believes he should be able to get in your face and spit in your eye and some kind of law or power outside of the two of you should punish you if you took his spit as provocation and punched him in the mouth.It seems to me that the argument is pointless, if you still believe the media, I think there is nothing to discuss with you.
