Which party?

So why don’t you count the civil war against primarily Russian-speaking people in eastern Ukraine which has been ongoing for the past eight years?

> The West largely got over these urges after Vietnam. Invading and bombing the shit out of countries because they voluntarily decide to align themselves with others that we don't like is no longer considered acceptable. What about

Agree to disagree

Uh oh that’s starting to sound like Russian disinformation
246.

I don’t have to, it just makes me look good when he never answers.

Here’s a question I expect you’ll never answer: is it within the capabilities of any groups within the West (state-sponsored or otherwise) to fabricate the information you’re using to make those assessments? And if so, how have you decisive

Ukrainian forces have been shelling civilian areas in Donetsk and Lugansk for the past eight years killing over 14,000 men, women, and children. This isn’t even disputed in the Western press, it’s just not talked about so people like you st

Regardless of whether a Nazi would disagree for ideological reasons, these facts are part of the historical record: 1) big capitalists within Germany and abroad funded and supported Hitler 2) capitalist countries rejected repeated requests

I’m sure Putin is really afraid of the guy who can barely get a coherent sentence out. Trump reportedly wanted to exit NATO, which would have avoided this conflict altogether.
251.

True, and the US didn’t even properly defeat the Nazis (see, for instance: Adolf Heusinger, Operation Paperclip, and the many Nazis who happened to find themselves in positions of power in West Germany).
252.
by xtian 5y ago
You probably won’t take this advice, but you should really start making peace with the fact that the US is completely incapable of accomplishing any of these warped fantasies of yours. The vast majority of the world is celebrating the self-

4) The news is not geopolitically neutral

by xtian 5y ago
What if the people who own these media outlets and the people who control the government share the same interests?

"Russian exports account for 20 percent of potassic fertilizers globally. Exports from Russia and Belarus account for a combined 40 percent of potassic fertilizers globally."

How can you tell?
257.
by xtian 5y ago
Ok so the difference is an ideological fantasy you've invented
258.
by xtian 5y ago
The difference is people like you aren't willing to put any skin in the game when you make these sorts of extraordinary claims.
259.
by xtian 5y ago
Would you apply the same standard to BBC? If not, what's the difference?
260.
by xtian 5y ago
What about making baseless predictions about peoples lives?
261.
by xtian 5y ago
Willing to put money on that?
262.
by xtian 5y ago
You don’t know what I’m talking about? The continual shelling of civilian areas in Donetsk and Lugansk by Ukraine for the past eight years. Yeah, support for Russia in these areas is so low that they were celebrating in the streets when Rus

Where did I claim that? What does “freedom” mean to you? Freedom from consequences?
264.
by xtian 5y ago
Where was Libya or Yugoslavia’s “freedom to choose” when NATO invaded? Russia has no reason to believe that NATO will behave peacefully as it expands ever eastward.

Ukraine put Stepan Bandera on a postage stamp. How does that happen without Nazis in the government?
266.
by xtian 5y ago
What’s an example?
267.
by xtian 5y ago
So that’s why Ukraine couldn’t honor the ceasefire for eight years?
268.
by xtian 5y ago
They already can do that.
269.
by xtian 5y ago
I never said they shouldn’t have the freedom to choose. Never mind that they didn’t- the US literally just sponsored a color revolution there in 2014. But don’t expect Russia to not react if their security is threatened.

by xtian 5y ago
As far as I can tell, Russia is fully prepared for any possible consequences.
