    Oh boy, strap in. Can’t wait to hear how many keyboard commandos think Ukrainians should get shoved into the meat grinder for another year.

      It’s their decision of course. I hate to see them lose, and I hate that my country isn’t doing more. We made a damn promise, and when it came time to make good, we half-assed it. Not enough oil I guess. But I also don’t want to see Russia bully their way to more territory either, as that just shows the world that they are still a threat, and leads to another round of russian fear for the world.

          How about everyone respect the land they’ve had for decades and stop trying to rekindle colonialism? We’re talking about Russia and Ukraine and you’re bringing in other entities into the discussion? Try keeping the train on the tracks. Russia already took over Georgia and Crimea in the past 20 years, just a slow progression to reacquire the good ole Soviet Union. If countries really wanna get the band back together, they’d do so with votes or formal agreements. When foreign tanks roll across borders, any claim of a peaceful integration is a fucking lie, and is in fact a bullying, aggressive act of war.

            No mate, that was you.

            Russia already took over Georgia

            Yeah? Really?

            “No investigation, no write to speak” really should be enforced policy.

            they’d do so with votes or formal agreements.

            Donbas and Crimea tried, Ukraine forbid it.

            When foreign tanks roll across borders, any claim of a peaceful integration is a fucking lie, and is in fact a bullying, aggressive act of war.

              So, I keep mentioning just Russia and Ukraine, no one else, but you keep throwing in other examples. Ummm, you’re saying DDay was the same as Russia invading Ukraine? Seems France wasn’t operating at that time as an autonomous power. Seems they were in fact occupied at that time by another country… now if Poland had invaded Ukraine and Ukraine needed saving from them, you might have a point and Russia might be seen as a rescuing force, but that’s not what happened is it? Once again, you went off track and I was fool enough to follow. Smh.

                Well that’s just straight up false:

                I hate that my country isn’t doing more. Russia already took over Georgia . That just shows the world .

                Ummm, you’re saying DDay was the same as Russia invading Ukraine?

                You said:

                Seems France wasn’t operating at that time as an autonomous power.

                Unlike Donbas and Crimea…

                Once again, you went off track and I was fool enough to follow. Smh.

                Local liberal furious that someone actually responded to the words that they wrote.

    Good. Hopefully some of these ‘painful concessions’ are Demilitarization and Denazification.
