I see that you are not willing to conduct a honest discussion. Only thing I wonder about is how is it possible that the rhetoric and vocabulary you are using is too damn similar to Russian trolls. I recommend you to meditate about it if you

If find that this comment of your is an excellent example of the reason why whataboutism does not have any merit. It does not advocate for world peace. It does not advocate for the protection and rights of the victim. Instead it advocates f

Thank you for taking your time. First, isn't it really obvious by now that Marlene Laruelle was, to put it mildly, completely wrong in her main assessment? Russia is a Fascist, or more precisely, Putin is. https://www.ponars

I think you are confusing the causation here. There was huge potential of friendly relations between Russia and countries it had occupied perilously or had been in alliance with. Except that Russia maintained hostile rhetoric against these

Thank you for taking time to open your understanding of the issue from your current perspective. Let me help you by providing another perspective that is not so US centered. I do not know if you realize that the failure of Minsk 2 was mainl

Now if you would be willing to discuss how the war in Ukraine could have been really avoided, I am ready to explain myself further. I am even more willing to discuss the reason behind the war in Ukraine if you are interested and prospects t

While presumably trying to accomplish the opposite, you have written a fine example of whataboutism, that feels to be almost right out of the Russian propaganda playbook. Well done, I guess. Or? Based on what you have written here, I would

Who are ethnic Russians in Ukraine? People who moved there after WW2 and their descendants? Why is there so wide margin for the ethnic Russian population? 20-40%? This is huge difference, it is from almost nothing to almost half. Either way

So what is your proposal? Giving in to Russia? I don't know if you realize this but it would increase the risk of nuclear war, not decrease it because it would show that using nuclear threat is working. Edit: my gut feeling about the r

Problem in Russia is that they imagine that they are a superpower in some capacity. They are not. It was believed in the West that perhaps they have modernized their army but they have not. If you have serious interest to understand what de

It is possible but there are at least two serious vulnerabilities for Russia's forces. If UA can recognize them and exploit fully, large part of Russian army will collapse.

How much did wars in Afghanistan and Iraq cost? War in Afghanistan was only important for posturing. This is also the reason why when US decided to leave, it did not look back. Putin of course inferred that it is signal of weakness when it

You are here missing only one very simple but important fact. Russia nor China are not superpowers. China may become one soon but it is not yet. Russia can be as concerned as it likes to be but if it steps over the line, it will get its ass

Your mistake is to think that Russia will not disagree. It does, because this is one of their tools to put international pressure on Ukraine to surrender. They try to portray this as fault of Ukraine.

Both other comments here are factually wrong written by two deluded pro Russians. The fact is that actually Russians do not see Ukrainians as the same people. They want that Ukrainians would see themselves as Russians but they do not think

Can you please explain what is the source of your anti Ukrainian sentiment? After WW2 everybody who opposed Russian expansionism and imperialism was called a Nazi by Russia (first of course a Fascist till the end of USSR for obvious reasons
