That is most certainly BS. There is no doubt, no question. For the past several months Russia’s stated efforts at diplomacy have been an utter farce, the saying “pissing on you and saying it’s rain” does not go far enough. Now all of a sudd

Your comments were saying/arguing Russia would not invade and implying I and others were naive for believing they would invade. Now your comment is simply calling up Iraq and similar because two wrong make a right apparently. Even wors
