    Who do you think? Why is it that this kind
    of propaganda is now being pushed? And
    why are you assisting the propaganda?

    What propaganda is that? Even Henry Kissinger said there'd have to be
    some Ukraine territory given up for a peace deal and he said it some
    time ago, too.

    You would need to read the terms of the peace treaty to know that and it doesn't exist yet.

    But then, when Ukraine turned over their nuclear weapons, they were
    promised that Russia would defend them.

    So, how good will the next treaty with Russia be?

    Have you been following the endless thread about
    the Ukrainians not wanting peace? It started
    out with Russian propaganda.

    Even Henry Kissinger said there'd have to be
    some Ukraine territory given up for a peace deal and he said it some
    time ago, too.

    Kissinger is a blow hard. And has screwed up a
    lot of things.

    There will be peace just as soon as the Russians are
    removed from Ukraine's territory. That it is currently
    in progress and is why the sudden propaganda about the
    Ukrainian's not wanting peace.

    They can fight to the end for all I care, as long as they stop taking our taxes without our permission to arm them.

    We need to either pull out and let it finish quickly with less bloodshed on both sides, or go for an all out big fucking explosion and destroy something.

    What we have at the moment is akin to you seeing two people fighting in the street, and you handing one of them a sharp stick every so often. Either leave them be, or give one a gun, or beat the living daylights out of one.

    Sound like a bunch of appeasement, which never works.

    Warmongers always call the peacemakers "appeasers" for obvious

    In progress? The spring counteroffensive was a bust and October is coming.
    The rain in Ukraine falls mainly on the plain and turns it into a sea of
    mud. The winter comes and turns it into a sea of frozen mud. Maybe next
    year in Jerusalem.

    The Russians are claiming another Challenger 2. There is enough propaganda
    to go around on both sides but I'll apply a variation of Occam's Razor.
    Which has more effect Russia falsely claiming another tank kill or the
    Western media refusing to say the invincible Challenger is all too
    vincible? 2 down, 12 to go.

    And the next time you Brits want us to send our children to die to
    protect you from the repercussions of some stupid thing you pull,
    I remember your words.

    Had the US sat out WWI arguably WWII would not have happened. Britain took
    a dog in the manger approach as the united Germany threatened to become an economic competitor. France joined in because they were still butt hurt
    after trying to put on their big boy pants in 1870 and getting their asses kicked.

    Had the US sat out WWII there would be a working EU, the USSR would have
    been destroyed before taking over eastern Europe, and Europe would not be flooded with third world exploiters that want the benefits of a society
    they did not and could not create at home.

    If Nuland and her pals had stayed out of Ukraine we would not be having
    this discussion. Nuland is the quintessential swamp creature and served
    under Clinton, Bush, Obama, and Biden. At least Trump caused her to take a brief vacation from the swamp.

    Her husband, Kagan, has been beating the neoconservative drum since the
    Reagan era.

    The "Bust" is propaganda. the Ukrainians are
    slowly making progress. It is just not the
    instant blitzkrieg some were hoping for.
    The Russians are getting their asses handed
    to them.

    And the "mud" will freeze. And I bet
    when still muddy, the Ukrainians will

    You would need to read the terms of the peace treaty to know that and

    Surely they know what's planned to go in it?  The BBC is already saying
    the Ukraine doesn't like what's in it - to do with not sanctioning
    Russia anymore.

    Sound like a bunch of appeasement, which never works.

    What appeasement was necessary prior to the US sponsored 'Revolution of Dignity' that overthrew the government that was elected in 2010. The 3100 international observers called it a free and fair election. Yanukovych
    received 48.95% of the vote, Tymoshenko 45.47%. In the best Hillary
    tradition Tymoshenko appealed but later withdrew her appeal.

    Unfortunately Yanukovych did not meet the globalists' expectation and had
    to go.

    Why are you supporting the end result of the globalists meddling in the
    affairs of a sovereign country? Don't you feel a bit of cognitive
    dissonance?

    Supposedly peace was going to break out before Boris visited and nixxed
    the deal.

    Funny how the USA always perceives Russians as villains in films. I bet the Russians do the same with you guys.

    The difference is you wimps needed NATO to help you win the cold war.

    In the further adventures of Boris and Natashya they headed to Kiev with

    What propaganda is that? Even Henry Kissinger said there'd have to be some Ukraine territory given up for a peace deal and he said it some time ago, too.

    Before the Russian attacks had completely stalled and they'd started to lose territory that they had captured.

    No one wants to hug a porcupine. Ever wonder why criminals shoot up

    Talk softly and carry a big stick.

    Case in point Putin did not appease the globalists' desire to expand NATO right up to his doorstep. Unlike Obama's red lines his response was swift.

    True and it was triggered by Putin wanting his
    land bridge to Crimea.

    Instead he got two more members on his door step.

    Swift? How long has Ukrainians and Russians
    been at war now? 14 years now? And Ukraine
    could not get membership in NATO because
    they had territory in dispute.

    Putin knew this, so the NATO thing is a
    little thin especially since NATO clearly
    had no desire whatsoever to invade Russia.
    Me thinks it was more about the land bridge
    and Putin's ego.

    Warmongers always call the peacemakers "appeasers" for obvious
    reasons. Sensible, civilised people seek peaceful solutions.

    Sadly, the current Russian regime isn't remotely civilised. Getting rid of them is a necessary part of any long-term peaceful solution, and they have tried to kill quite a few people who were in favour of peaceful regime change.

    Warmongers can go to hell where they belong.

    And Putin needs to be sent there as soon as possible.

    Had the US sat out WWII there would be a working EU, the USSR would have been destroyed before taking over eastern Europe, and Europe would not be flooded with third world exploiters that want the benefits of a society
    they did not and could not create at home.

    If the USA had sat out WW2 Russia would still have defeated Germany. US aid did help the Russians but wasn't game changing.

    A lot more of Europe would have been controlled by Russia, and the US would have ended up with a lot less influence and no atom bomb.

    But then, when Ukraine turned over their nuclear weapons, they were

    So, how good will the next treaty with Russia be?

    They can fight to the end for all I care, as long as they stop taking

    We need to either pull out and let it finish quickly with less bloodshed

    Your father should have done that 9 months before you were born.

    on both sides, or go for an all out big fucking explosion and destroy something.

    There will be peace just as soon as the Russians are

    That's pretty much how I see it!

    in progress and is why the sudden propaganda about the
    Ukrainian's not wanting peace.

    In progress? The spring counteroffensive was a bust and October is
    coming.
    The rain in Ukraine falls mainly on the plain and turns it into a sea of
    mud. The winter comes and turns it into a sea of frozen mud. Maybe next
    year in Jerusalem.

    The Russians are claiming another Challenger 2. There is enough
    propaganda
    to go around on both sides but I'll apply a variation of Occam's Razor.
    Which has more effect Russia falsely claiming another tank kill or the
    Western media refusing to say the invincible Challenger is all too
    vincible?  2 down, 12 to go.

    There is nothing magic about a challenger 2

    The war is progressing. Ukraine is gaining ground. Russia are losing
    materiel and manpower.

    Russian propagandists of all flavours are claiming that Russia must end
    up with something for its pain.

    And they will - a country with a devastated economy that no one trusts.

    Anyone who has followed the war closely at all levels knows that nothing Russia says or promises is worth jack shit.

    Judge Russia by its friends - hmmm - China, N Korea, Iran ...

    Anyone who has dealt with a psycopath knows that they do not follow reasonable standards of behaviour. As soon as you give an inch, they
    will demand the whole nine yards.

    Russia is a psycopath. There can be no 'negotiated peace'.. Only
    complete defeat at a military level and the threat of invasion.

    Peaceniks are scared Russia would use the nuclear option. Russia knows
    that if they did, NATO would be in Moscow within a week.

    Less than a week. Didn't take Yevgeny Prigozhin long to get up that
    highway from 900 kilometres away. Pity he hesitated - and lost.

    The "Bust" is propaganda.  the Ukrainians are
    slowly making progress.  It is just not the
    instant blitzkrieg some were hoping for.
    The Russians are getting their asses handed
    to them.

    And the "mud" will freeze.  And I bet
    when still muddy, the Ukrainians will

    And they are already running out of children, demographic collapse and

    That might have been difficult to do, given that Germany declared war on

    Surely they know what's planned to go in it? The BBC is already saying
    the Ukraine doesn't like what's in it - to do with not sanctioning
    Russia anymore.

    Curious that Boris met with Zelensky *after* he'd been removed as PM.
    He was *supposed* to be an ordinary back bencher again, representing
    the interests of his constituents. What was the purpose of that visit?
    What did they discuss? We were never told.

    They both wanted to get their faces in the newspapers. Boris woudn't have had anything useful to say. but Zelinsky wouldn't have cared.

    It might not be any of yours, right now, but letting Putin get away with slicing bits of the Ukraine might encourage him to move on to nearer neighbours of yours, and fill up your back yard with even more irritating refugees.

    Always an easy choice, until you find that you are slugging it out with them on your own because they've conquered everybody else.

    The Germans do get creative with the comedians name: Wolodymyr
    Selenskyj

    The W substitution is obvious but I don't know about the terminal 'j'.

    Depends on how you pronounce the J. Think of
    the Dutch name "Jos" as the
    perfect example.

    Jah... Y is infrequent in German and in a word like 'typisch' is more of
    a 'u' sound. For loan words like Handy (cellphone) it's pronounced as in English. I've no idea how 'yj' geets pronounced. Eeeee-Yah?

    But then, when Ukraine turned over their nuclear weapons, they were

    So, how good will the next treaty with Russia be?

    The Germans do get creative with the comedians name: Wolodymyr
    Selenskyj

    The W substitution is obvious but I don't know about the terminal 'j'.

    Depends on how you pronounce the J. Think of
    the Dutch name "Jos" as the
    perfect example.

    Jah... Y is infrequent in German and in a word like 'typisch' is more of
    a 'u' sound. For loan words like Handy (cellphone)

    That word is hilarious. I also like schiesgang scheiltung (shitty gearchange).

    it's pronounced as in English. I've no idea how 'yj' geets pronounced. Eeeee-Yah?

    That sounds orgasmic. Yj! Das fhlt sich so gut an! Machen Sie das noch einmal und reiben Sie es strker!

    There's another one, starker for harder. And Swedish slut for fullstop/period.

    Well, a few generations of locals would be upset if Moscow went to Ukraine, so probably Russia keeps that.

    As for the troops-camped-here sections of Ukraine, Russia is unlikely to forget that in the Brest-Litovsk treaty, that sort of land went to the troops' sponsors.
    But, that gives a clear advantage to aggressors, which is unpopular.

    Russia would like the Treaty of Brest forgotten, it's REALLY unpopular with them.

    We were far from neutral, which is why Germany was

    Ukraine used to be the USSR, they're just taking it back.

    Both Russia and the Ukraine used to be part of the USSR. When that fell apart they both became independent countries. Putin is trying to pretend that Russian can take back areas that used to be part of the pre-1917 Russian Empire. Britain might try to
    take back the eastern seaboard America on the same basis. It's a dubious claim.

    And the next time you Brits want us to send our children to die to

    I remember your words.

    Had the US sat out WWI arguably WWII would not have happened. Britain took a dog in the manger approach as the united Germany threatened to become an economic competitor. France joined in because they were still butt hurt after trying to put on
    their big boy pants in 1870 and getting their asses kicked.

    Oh give me a break.

    You don't deserve one.

    R. is probably the best source of historical information and analysis on this group. And he is damned well educated (classical sense). Plus he writes very well.

    He's been well educated in a school system that is designed to inculcate the idea that the USA is always right.
    Most people call that brain-washed. If you are recycling other peoples texts you do tend to produce prose that has been polished by repeated use,

    Because someone disagrees with you, does not make them ignorant.

    Most of the people who disagree with me are ignorant. People who know less meet more well-informed disagreement

    But is does make those that do that particular form of name calling, closed minded and intolerant.

    Being well-informed does make you look that way to the ill-informed, particularly to the ill-informed who are too ignorant to realise how ill-informed they are.

    Open discussions and information is necessary for a republic to survive. It is the antithesis of the Dictatorship of the Proletariat.

    And you are objecting to a crucial ingredient of open discussion - pointing out when one of the debaters has got stuff wrong.

    You would need to read the terms of the peace treaty to know that and

    But then, when Ukraine turned over their nuclear weapons, they were
    promised that Russia would defend them.

    So, how good will the next treaty with Russia be?

    Ukraine, and the rest of the world, will never trust Russia ever again.

    The BRICS seem to be getting along fine.

    Had Russia managed to take over Ukraine in the first few days, as they
    had planned and expected to, they would now be starting to digest the
    next country. It's in their game plan and Putin has never made it a
    secret that he longs for the resurrection of the USSR. Ukraine is merely
    step one in attaining that goal.

    Not that anybody seems to have done the sums. The Europeans are spendnig quite a bit.

    Not fighting off the initial invasion would have averted a whole of bloodshed. Doing that did kill off a lot of Russians.

    Probably not. The Ukraine has a long tradition of guerrilla warfare.

    All to true. FDR moved heaven and hell to make that happen. My brother was quite a bit older than I and was down at the USMC recruiting center bright and early on 8 December. I was brought up to shun all things Japanese.
    Since we were of German heritage Germany got a pass. It was easier to sell
    a war on yellow people in a country where the largest ethnic group is
    German. They sure as hell couldn't intern Germans.

    Ukraine used to be the USSR, they're just taking it back.

    Both Russia and the Ukraine used to be part of the USSR. When that fell apart they both became independent countries. Putin is trying to pretend that Russian can take back areas that used to be part of the pre-1917 Russian Empire. Britain might try to
    take back the eastern seaboard America on the same basis. It's a dubious claim.


    What's dubious about it? Israel was created in 1948 out of land seized

    We are not. The Nazi thing is Russian Propaganda.

    I watched a video of several Jews in these

    the propaganda was. These groups are freedom

    The Russians are using the Nazi thing to try to
    drum up support for their aggression by invoking
    images of the great patriotic war against real

    And why did we not sell to Japan and Germany?  Hmmm

    Because you were opposing Japan's expansion into China and Germany was

    We lost a lot of lives (merchant marines) taking
    undeclared sides.  We were suppose to be
    neutral, but under the table, we were not.

    The vast majority, 96%, were lost after you joined the war. At least
    some of the 344 who died before 1942 were probably serving on British
    ships. Most British ships had mixed nationality crew as we simply had
    too many merchant ships to crew only with Britons. Some of them may even
    have volunteered to join British ships to aid the war effort, as many
    Americans in the UK did. Nine American pilots flew in the Battle of
    Britain and there was even an American Home Guard unit. Lots of
    Americans chose to fight for the allies before Pearl Harbour, but as individuals, not as representatives of the US government.

    Don't get me wrong, I believe we did the
    right thing.

    Was WWI ever paid off?

    https://quote.org/quote/borrowed-money-even-when-owing-to-a-598695

    "Borrowed money, even when owing to a nation by another nation, should be repaid. They hired the money, didn't they? Let them pay it"

    That was 10 years after the end of WWI when Britain wasn't paying up.

    That brings up an interesting in the context of the thread. Prior to 2014
    the Ukraine was the poorest and most corrupt nation in Europe by all
    accounts. Since then they have received billions in cash and materiel. Is
    that all a write off?

    Even stipulating peace breaks out and the Ukraine gets all the territory
    it claims back, what is the incentive for the costly rebuilding of a
    country that couldn't make a decent living in the first place? If the IMF
    gets their hands on them they will wish Russia had won.

    Only as far as current borders are concerned. Back in the Middle Ages,

    regaining its former territories.

    Ukraine used to be the USSR, they're just taking it back.

    Both Russia and the Ukraine used to be part of the USSR. When that fell apart they both became independent countries. Putin is trying to pretend that Russian can take back areas that used to be part of the pre-1917 Russian Empire. Britain might try to
    take back the eastern seaboard America on the same basis. It's a dubious claim.

    What's dubious about it? Israel was created in 1948 out of land seized
    from Palestine and everyone recognises Israel as a legitimate state!
    (all the important countries, anyway).

    The Arabs whose land was seized in the process don't see it as remotely legitimate. The current Israeli government is rapidly looking less legitimate by the day. If they get to the point passing legislation that lets the government overturn court
    decisions that they don't like, any residual claim on legitimacy will have entirely evaporated.

    Ukraine used to be the USSR, they're just taking it back.

    Russia doesn't want all of it. They only want to annexe some Eastern
    areas of the shit-hole where ethnic Russians were being killed by
    Ukrainian neo-Nazis and the clown that runs the country was doing
    nothing to stop them. Why are we supporting neo-Nazis?

    Russia wants all of it. Especially the eastern bits where they killed
    their own citizens to fake an excuse to take it, because it has all the
    oil coal and gas. And they want all the grain, and they want the black
    sea ports as well.

    Anyone who actually believes there was 'ethnic conflict' is a moron.

    Indeed. Ukrainians *and* Russians are ethnically Slavs.

    I cannot understanbd people who dont trust their own government actually trusting a single thing the Russian state says.

    Only as far as current borders are concerned. Back in the Middle Ages,
    when Moscow was still just a swamp, Kyiv was the capital of a much
    larger area, "Kyivan Rus". Maybe we should be thinking of Ukraine
    regaining its former territories.

    I was under the impression that, until the USA entered the war, Congress required that supplies for the allies should travel only on allied

    The point is that is is relatively silly to look at the past and try and
    either create reparations about it or try to undo it. One country
    becomes part of another either because it wants to, or at least doesn't
    care, or because it is conquered and smashed until it gives up. Or its populations is simply killed.
    We have all done it.
    We have all had it done to us.

    In the case of Ukraine they had a referendum and they decided they
    wanted to be independent. A sort of Ukrainian version of Brexit. Russia
    agreed, and that was that.

    Why is happening now is precisely equivalent to the EU sending tanks
    into southern Ireland to take over Northern Ireland, then scotland and
    finally England.

    We all know they would like to, but fortunately no one trusts them with
    an army.

    They have combined to act in former Yugoslavia and in Libya. The main reason that they didn't use force to undo Brexit was that they were happy to get rid of partner country that was not only unwilling to pull it's weight, but also too economically

    That's not how it worked. The Ukraine was one of the republics in the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics, as was Russia. When the USSR fell apart they became separate countries. That wasn't any kind of divestment of the Ukraine by Russia, no matter
    how Putin kijes to think about it.

    Any American patriot should remember him. John André, a major in the British army, got hanged as a spy. there were probably others.

    Probably no-one was tortured either.

    About as likely to be accurate as your first claim.

    Nor were cities leveled by artillery.

    Siege warfare wasn't popular around then. The artillery didn't have much range and wasn't all that accurate. Fortresses were invested, and their defenses bombarded until they were knocked flat, but there wasn't a lot of that done during the War of
    Independence.

    Not from lack of trying. When the British batteries opened fire with
    heated shot during the siege of Charleston they weren't too concerned with civilian deaths and property damage. At least they weren't flinging
    corpses with trebuchets.

    Between technological advances and the changes in warfare it has become harsher. It's difficult to establish the point where civilians became fair game. When Harris and Lindemann decided it was safer to bomb civilian
    housing to reduce the workforce rather than go after the heavily protected factories it was a step forward. Truman turned it into a fine art.

    Umm. Not exactly. In the old days, a common way to pay a successful
    army was to allow it to sack the conquered city. The Sack of
    Magdeburg is historic, but it was common practice since ancient times.

    .<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sack_of_Magdeburg#:~:text=The%20sack%20of%20Magdeburg%2C%20also,deaths%20of%20around%2020%2C000%2C%20including>

    Plunder commonly included treasure and slaves, especially nubile ones.

    They were on American Ships.

    I was under the impression that, until the USA entered the war, Congress required that supplies for the allies should travel only on allied
    ships. However, that is from memory and might only have applied to
    Lease-Lend supplies, rather than purely commercial transactions.


    Here is a run down:

    http://www.usmm.org/casualty.html

    And it does support your numbers

    I would be interested to know how 103 American ships could be attacked without it being taken as an act of war against the USA. Were they, for example, ignoring government advice not to enter a war zone?

    It is a case of what comes out the mouth is not
    what goes on behind the back.

    We were trying to support Briton clandestinely
    whilst keeping the public face of neutrality.
    We were not in any shape prepared for war.

    Keep in mind that just like in Briton, the
    American Left was protecting the "darlings
    of socialist international". It took
    invading Poland and attacking Perl
    Harbor to get the Left's attention and let
    both USA and Briton start arming for war.

    There was also the isolationist settlement
    too. Just let Europe blow themselves up
    and stay out of it.

    So, we had to support Briton clandestinely,
    whist seeking political cover. But it was
    far from a secret from anybody, including
    Hitler's U-Boats.

    Interesting how Briton murdered our prisoners.
    acted like total animals to the populace,
    and paid indians to carry out total war on
    civilians during our war of independence
    and then a hundred or so years later
    we sent our children over to die protecting
    the self same monsters, twice.

    Do not get me wrong, it was the right thing
    to do. It just interests me the turn around.
    I am told it was the trade between our two
    countries and it tuned out that most of
    you were not monsters and eventually we
    became great friends.

    You should have hung Banastre Tarleton
    (Battle of Cowpens) for murdering prisoners.
    I do not know the name of the monster in New
    York that threw prisoners into a basement
    to starve to death.

    Hopefully we stay great friends for the
    rest of time. You are good people (now).

    whilst ever any of Ukraine territory remains occupied
    by Russia and that includes territory illegally
    annexed in 2014.

    Ukraine used to be the USSR, they're just taking it
    back.

    Russia does not equal USSR.

    Okay, the Russian Empire is taking it back... Maybe Poland
    would like their part back too. The Ukraine has a very
    limited history as an actual country.

    So did the U.S. at one point.

    At least the States joined by popular vote.

    The behavior of Ukrainian citizens strongly suggests that they
    favor independence.

    For example, even in the part of the country, the darnbach (sp?)

    Donbas.

    in the east, where Russian was the most used language, since the
    Russian attack they have changed to speaking Ukrainian.

    Well that's as sensible as learning to speak Welsh in Abergavenny, if
    you don't want your house burnt down... I don't suppose anyone spoke
    German in the UK in WW2.

    So I wouldn't put much store by that...They will be speaking Russian in occupied territory and Ukrainian in the rest. Its a simple matter of health.

    This is lunatic. The Nazis might have been National Socialists, but they were never left wing and were in fact violently anti-communist.

    The Left battled tooth and nail to stop rearmament.

    That didn't have anything to do with people who were the presumed targets of the re-armament.

    What? A fellow Marxist being war mongers? NEVER!

    Nobody ever called Hitler a Marxist.

    And the Soviets worked with the Nazis to conquer Poland. The Soviets (also Leftist Marxists) got a taste of their own medicine with Barbarossa.

    True, and the USSR did take Karl Marx seriously. The International Socialist movement had thrown him out in 1871, regarding his enthusiasm for the lead role of (what became) the Communist Party as likely to lead to a totalitarian government.

    "vest the most ardent revolutionary absolute power, and within a year he will be worse than the Tsar himself" was a prophetic statement made at the time by Mikhail Bakunin.

    What? A fellow Leftist break a treaty! NEVER!

    Hilter was never anybody's fellow leftist.

    That's possible but neither of us are there to talk to those who
    changed. It's also possible they're disgusted with the Russians and
    anything Russian, and that's the way the news story portrayed it. Or
    they want to *show* solidarity with other Ukrainians with whom they
    actually feel solidarity, sort of like putting up a yard sign for an
    election candidate.

    Yes, in recaptured areas, dealing with a Russian army that has been
    vicious to civilians, it would be best to switch back to Russian. When
    the war is over, we may learn what language is spoken.

    Who would want to live under Putin, who considers his population as an
    easy source of cannon fodder to support his ego, and not much else?

    He commands a great deal of support. Almost on par as Trump.

    Are you really that simple?

    No one knows how much support he really commands, because the elections
    are rigged, and to publicly voice dissent is to disappear or meet with a >fatal accident...


    Who would want to live under Trump. As a general rule the world carries
    on spinning on its axis independent of who is in charge. Would Russia
    change if it has another leader?

    I think Id prefer Trump to Biden and his faceless bureaucrats.

    What makes trump's bureaucrats less faceless than Biden's?

    Do you live in the USA?

    Regardless, it will be hard to take you seriously after this line.

    That's possible but neither of us are there to talk to those who
    changed. It's also possible they're disgusted with the Russians and
    anything Russian, and that's the way the news story portrayed it. Or
    they want to *show* solidarity with other Ukrainians with whom they
    actually feel solidarity, sort of like putting up a yard sign for an
    election candidate.

    Yes, in recaptured areas, dealing with a Russian army that has been
    vicious to civilians, it would be best to switch back to Russian. When
    the war is over, we may learn what language is spoken.

    I think as with many things political, there are those who feel strongly
    one way, those that feel strongly another way and those, that like a
    French Café proprietor I spoke to pre brexit, say 'we put in the Left.
    More taxes. We put in the right,. More taxes.'

    However Russia has not, by most accounts, being going out of its way to
    win hearts and minds in the occupied territory. The hugs and tears from 'liberated' residents in Kherson and Luhansk did not look staged, to me.

    He commands a great deal of support. Almost on par as Trump.

    Are you really that simple?

    No one knows how much support he really commands, because the elections
    are rigged, and to publicly voice dissent is to disappear or meet with a
    fatal accident...


    Who would want to live under Trump. As a general rule the world carries
    on spinning on its axis independent of who is in charge. Would Russia
    change if it has another leader?

    I think Id prefer Trump to Biden and his faceless bureaucrats.

    What makes trump's bureaucrats less faceless than Biden's?

    If you don't know the answer to that, you wouldn't listen to it if I
    told you, anyway,

    Do you live in the USA?

    And tell me, pray, whether or not living in a country makes one more, or
    less, able to view its politics objectively?
    I can watch US news and world bes from other sources about America. I
    can listen to millions of online Americans voice their views.


    Regardless, it will be hard to take you seriously after this line.

    I certainly wont be taking you seriously over US politics any more. You
    are clearly violently partisan.

    Personally I don't give a toss. Biden and the Dimmoclots seem to be
    classic Big State Top Town bureaucratic control freaks and the
    Repugnicants a little bit more small state let people have the freedom
    to spend even if the big guys pay less tax.

    "there are two sorts of people in this world: Those that think the
    government is there to help, and those that think"

    I personally think the less government there is, the better a place it
    is to live.

    This is the Big Myth that the US business community has been spreading since the 1930's

    https://www.bloomsbury.com/au/big-myth-9781635573572/

    It was largely directed at Americans, but Margaret Thatcher bought in on their line of nonsense in the 1980's and right-wing half-wits in the UK have been echoing it ever since.

    Basically the US business community doesn't want the government to do it's proper job of regulating commerce because they can make more money if they cheat their customers.

    English doesn't have pronunciation rules, none that can be relied upon anyway.

    Actually it has about six different sets of pronunciation rules - depending which language the Englsih word came from originally. they are internally consistent, but knowing which one to apply requires a lot fo background information, which you can get
    from an etymological dictionary, if you can afford one and have the shelf space to accommodate it.

    Our house has them for Dutch, German and English.

    Some of the safety measures in the early days of OSHA were

    you had more pinch points than before that weren't so obvious.

    But then, when Ukraine turned over their nuclear weapons, they were
    promised that Russia would defend them.

    So, how good will the next treaty with Russia be?

    They can fight to the end for all I care, as long as they stop taking
    our taxes without our permission to arm them.

    We need to either pull out and let it finish quickly with less bloodshed

    Your father should have done that 9 months before you were born.

    Typical, you have no reasoned argument against what I just wrote.

    on both sides, or go for an all out big fucking explosion and destroy
    something.

    What we have at the moment is akin to you seeing two people fighting in
    the street, and you handing one of them a sharp stick every so often.
    Either leave them be, or give one a gun, or beat the living daylights
    out of one.

    That's wrong. The Ukraine was one member of the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics until that fell apart in August 1991.

    The post collapse boundaries were just the same as they were before the collapse. Russia didn't agree to anything,

    We stole the Ukraine from them and they're taking it back.

    We didn't have anything to do with the collapse - it was brought on by the defects of the ruling Communist Party. Nobody stole the Ukraine, and while the Russians have clearly wanted to take it over, this is a process of attempted annexation, not any
    kind of recovery.

    The Scottish wanker cant' get anything right.

    Ukraine is a target *on the way* to more targets.

    Indeed. All we're doing is prolonging it and costing lives on both
    sides. If you meet two people fighting in the street, you don't give
    one a sharp stick to even the odds. You either beat the shit out of one
    of them, give one a gun, or stay out of it. Making things even causes
    bloodshed.

    No, but you do arm the weaponless one to make it a fair fight.

    The point flew right over your head. You can:

    1) Do nothing, Russia wins, not much bloodshed.
    2) Severely arm Ukraine or blow up Putin. Ukraine wins, not much bloodshed.
    Or the stupid 3) we're doing now - slightly arm Ukraine, "fair" fight which goes on for years, killing 100,000s on both sides.

    Only a moron does 3.

    Russia doesn't want all of it. They only want to annexe some Eastern

    sea ports as well.

    Anyone who actually believes there was 'ethnic conflict' is a moron.
    I cannot understanbd people who dont trust their own government actually trusting a single thing the Russian state says.

    Because we all know the UK government and the US government are the most corrupt in the world.

    Australia doesn't worship King Charles the Third. We barely take him seriously. The last attempt to turn Australia into a republic foundered on the impression that Austraiia's politicians planned to put one of their own number into the head-of-state slot.
    If they'd gone for a retired sporting hero it might have worked.

    Ukraine is a target *on the way* to more targets.

    I won't need to if they take over our westernized piece of shit country.

    I want half of France back. Then we could at least stop these bloody immigrants...

    How would owning part of France stop the immigrunts?

    Only as far as current borders are concerned. Back in the Middle Ages,
    when Moscow was still just a swamp, Kyiv was the capital of a much
    larger area, "Kyivan Rus". Maybe we should be thinking of Ukraine
    regaining its former territories.

    It's debated whether Oleg was related to Rurik but they both were
    Varangians from Sweden. Let's give the whole mess to Sweden. They deserve
    it.

    At least the States joined by popular vote.

    The behavior of Ukrainian citizens strongly suggests that they
    favor independence.

    For example, even in the part of the country, the darnbach (sp?)

    Donbas.

    in the east, where Russian was the most used language, since the
    Russian attack they have changed to speaking Ukrainian.

    Well that's as sensible as learning to speak Welsh in Abergavenny, if
    you don't want your house burnt down... I don't suppose anyone spoke
    German in the UK in WW2.

    So I wouldn't put much store by that...They will be speaking Russian in
    occupied territory and Ukrainian in the rest. Its a simple matter of health.

    That's possible but neither of us are there to talk to those who
    changed. It's also possible they're disgusted with the Russians and
    anything Russian, and that's the way the news story portrayed it. Or
    they want to *show* solidarity with other Ukrainians with whom they
    actually feel solidarity, sort of like putting up a yard sign for an
    election candidate.

    Yes, in recaptured areas, dealing with a Russian army that has been
    vicious to civilians, it would be best to switch back to Russian. When
    the war is over, we may learn what language is spoken.

    I think as with many things political, there are those who feel strongly
    one way, those that feel strongly another way and those, that like a
    French Caf proprietor I spoke to pre brexit, say 'we put in the Left.
    More taxes. We put in the right,. More taxes.'

    Was he called Rene? Did he have a knockvurst with a fallen Madonna with the big boobies?

    When the motherland is 6,601,670 sq mi it can lose a few republics.
    Kazakhstan was the largest at 1,052,100 sq mi. I think it's bigger than

    I recently watched the first three seasons of 'The Boys'. No filters
    there, no children allowed.

    And? Were you sitting quietly and listening all the time, or did your big
    mouth start blathering uncontrollably all by itself again? <BG>

    Self-admiring gossip lowbrowwoman about his own, incredibly interesting personality, again:
    "Trout is one fish I don't care for. I know it is hair-splitting along the species line but Coho salmon tastes like trout to me and I don't like it wither. I do like Atlantic salmon wrapped in parchment with a little dill
    and baked."

    I never watched that one but it sounds like 'Firefly'. They got creative including muttering what presumably were Chinese curses.

    You STILL can't see what an abnormal gossiping washerwoman you are, senile gossip? No? <BG>

    Yet another thrilling story from the resident senile gossip's thrilling
    life:
    "Around here you have to be careful to lock your car toward the end of
    summer or somebody will leave a grocery sack full of zucchini in it."

    It was only supposed to be a stopgap until Intel got the iPAX 432 sorted.

    I'm afraid your big mouth will never get sorted out, though I keep trying my best. <BG>

    Yet more of the very interesting senile blather by lowbrowwoman:
    "I save my fries quota for one of the local food trucks that offers
    poutine every now and then. If you're going for a coronary might as well
    do it right."

    Much of that knowledge was looted from India when the Muslims invaded, and later discovered or re-discovered by the West.

    Keep your sick senile shit out of these ngs, you abnormal endlessly
    gossiping senile cretins!

    Self-admiring senile blabbermouth lowbrowwoman about himself, again:
    "For $40 a pound I want something off an Angus and dry aged. My standards
    were set in the '50s. Where I grew up everybody ate fish on Friday
    including the Prods with restaurants having Friday specials. It wasn't expensive for recognizable species. Pollock was considered trash fish and
    stuff like swai was unheard of."
