Ukraine Thread

[Gilrandir]

According to Gilrandir, whom none can believe he is a Putin'Russia lover, Russian army is crap, ill trained, incompetent and ill equipped.

Brenus, Brenus...
Now the Impeccable You do what you claim I (the Clueless One) do. Show me at least one post where I used the words you have put into my mouth. Perform the Marxist reality check you are so proud of being able to do.

So to pretend that Russia is a like USSR is a lie.

It is a lie because the USSR was self-sustaining so it could do without the West's money, technologies and goods for quite a time. But even so it eventually collapsed.

Stop pretending and acting like if Russia is a super power frightening the peace, stop to treat Russia as an enemy so Russia will act as an enemy.

Georgia hadn't treated Russia as an enemy, it had a bone to pick with Abkhasia and South Ossetia. And Russia thought it its personal issue.

Russia had been Ukraine's strategic partner (according to 1997 Treaty of friendship and cooperation). Do I have to remind you how a partner and friend started to act in February 2014?
Just don't give me the "protection of threatened Russian-speakers by evil nazis" thing.

Doesn't mean you have to accept all Russia's policy, but it might emphasise on negotiation with Russia.

Do negotiate, please. Keep negotiating even if Russia violates what has been agreed upon the next day after the protocol has been signed. Bask in your naivete.

The entire Ukrainian debacle could have been avoided without the Coup.

The entire Coup could have been avoided without the violent dispersion of Maidan meeting on December 1.

Don't give me the "Putin's friend" thing.

Ok. Let's call you Putinversteher.

Russia has no bases in Cuba, Canada or Mexico.

If it did you would sooner or later hear about "the oppressed Russian-speaking minorities of Brighton beach" and "Russia is where Russian is spoken".
