And Ukraine is more than able to sign a nonalignment pact just like the US made Mexico sign saying it will not join any hostile military pacts such as NATO. No matter what Russia will never secede control of Crimea back to Ukraine it is Russias only warm water port and military base. The west knew this when it organized, funded, and launched a coup inside Ukraine.
Putin didn’t start shit.
Lol, You mean like they actually did in 1994?
Of course it doesn’t work like that, but ndfanatic78’s suggestion is that you and your mugger agree to split the cash, he gets your credit card, and you get to keep your ID.
I'm guessing you have a subscription to Vedomosti, Kommersant or the Moscow times?
They gave Ukraine Crimea when Ukraine was an independent nation and still an ally of Russia and Ukraine let Russia continue to the Russian Naval base. As soon as the western coup happened and Russia knew they would lose their only warm water naval base they took it back.Lol, You mean like they actually did in 1994?
You know, when the US and Russia strong-armed Ukraine into giving up it's huge nuclear weapons arsenal for security assurances? The Budapest Memorandum? The agreement Russia violated when it annexed Crimea in 2014. The one Russia violated again in 2022. The one Russia violates every single day.
You believe everyone should just accept that because the Soviets migrated a bunch of Russians into Crimea, Ukraine should allow Russia to take it back, or shoot, even let it secede? Despite Russia agreeing to respect Ukraine's borders in exchange for the world's 3rd largest supply (at the time) of nuclear weapons.
Russia is only even somewhat a near peer of the US because of nukes. Whataboutism trying to draw parallels is illogical.
Great fucking take dbag. Comparing international affairs to a mugging is such a false equivalency. That’s like comparing the national budget to a typical single family budget they don’t equate. You do realize this is going to eventually be decided by a negotiated peace agreement like every other foreign dispute. The only yet to be decided is how much death and destruction happens first, but keep being a smart ass and cheering that death machine on. You seem great at it.
Why because I don’t believe western propaganda and actually have been paying attention to this situation since the western coup of 2014? All reported in western publications. They even talked about the nazis in the Maidan square, western funding, and Victoria Nuland stating the US would decide who the next ruler of Ukraine would be.
I see some of you are still holding out hope that thousands of more Ukrainians and Russians die in order for Ukraine to win this war. The sad thing is the west and Russia seem hell bent on accomplishing that and the public seems to be cheering it on rather than trying to make both sides come to a table and negotiate. How far has the Ukrainian offensive gotten, a few kilometers and at what cost? This whole thing is sickening and the fact that there are Americans cheering this massacre on like Ukraine is actually going to win. Best case scenario is this ends in a stalemate and eventually there is a diplomatic solution to save lives. Worst case scenario Ukraine is turned into a third world country and loses the majority of its 18 - 22 year olds.
Just a friendly reminder without Russia we would all be speaking German right now. How many million Russians were killed in WWII? You really think they are going to back down in any way? This is either going to grind on for years with thousands more dead and billions lost or people are going to realize the only resolution to this is a diplomatic one.
Ukraine offensive makes slow gains, Zelenskiy says; Putin sees 'lull'
KYIV (Reuters) -President Volodymyr Zelenskiy was quoted on Wednesday as saying progress in Ukraine's counteroffensive against Russian forces was "slower than desired", but Kyiv would not be pressured...news.yahoo.com
I’ve never gotten this take ever. If you really think the Germans were capable of crossing the Atlantic and defeat the USA/Canada you’re dumber than I thought.
All out brawl.
For real. They couldn't even cross the Channel and invade England.
