    We are too far apart to even have a discussion.

    Wow, you've bought into the propaganda completely.

    Russia had no idea that they would be forced to invade Ukraine, and that the genocidal attacks on the population of Donetsk would increase 30 fold. Biden knew it though and even slipped out with the exact date the war would start.

    The accusations of Russia attacking Ukraine was a political ploy by Biden to deceive the American people into thinking it was Russia that wanted to attack and not that it was a neo lib/con plan to start a war between Russia and Ukraine. The benefits of a war between them was even mentioned in Washington articles. They felt that it might lead to the overthrow of Vladimir Putin and the break up of the Russian Federation and that way they could grab its resources.

    That Ukrainians and Russians would die, meant nothing to Biden's handlers. It was a cunning ruse, because it was done in such a way that instead of being called Biden's war, the propaganda networks threw the blame on Vladimir Putin. The alternative would have been the genocide of the people of Donestk, but that's never mentioned.

    Also by accusing Russia of wanting to attack Ukraine when their forces were 200 miles away and the Ukrainian forces were lined along the demarcation line, was never mentioned by the MSM. It also gave Washington the excuse of sending illegal heavy arms to the Nazis on the demarcation line to facilitate their attack on the civilian population - which was bound to draw Russia into the war.


    The war had been planned for quite some time by Washington and even mentioned how beneficial it would be in breaking up the Russian Federation in articles by neo lib cons in Washington. I even came across a video by Russell Bentley (Tex) that went back to March 2021 where he said that American Generals and troops had arrived in Ukraine, and that it boded no good for the country. Right after I posted it on the forum, the video was removed from Youtube.

    Putin never said Ukraine was part of Russia, nor does he want Ukraine unless it's the will of the people living in the different areas. What he doesn't want is a foreign nation thousands of miles away installing their own government in Kiev, and using the Ukrainians as a means to break up the Russian Federation.

    What Vladimir Putin meant is that the parts of Eastern Europe which have always been part of Russia since time immemorial and where the people speak the Russian language, have a Russian heritage and have a Russian national consciousness and want to be part of the Russian Federation should be allowed to do so. If they have been hindered from doing so at the break up of the USSR, it was because certain powers wanted to weaken Russia and denied giving the Russian people the rights due them.

    Like in Ukraine, many of the Russians in the Baltics are kept in apartheid conditions and denied their rights so as to force them to leave their ancestral lands. It's called ethnic cleansing.
    So how about educating yourself before referring to people as 'slimeballs', which reflects badly on you since the whole truly 'free world' thinks and knows differently. Here's a map of the Ukraine. By the way, the name the Ukraine means the outskirts of the Russian world.

    The blue and purple lands were always a part of Imperial Russia. The Green land was part of Poland. This is why it is two separate cultures.

    There are a 193 nations in the UN, so what happened to the rest of them? Besides one can't consider the EU, Japan or the Anglosphere as separate nations, but rather as colonies of the US.

    Boy I would love to see a poll taken of how many people have faith in Biden or Washington to do the right thing. Now that would be funny.

    Anyway, the right thing towards who? Towards the Russian people, or towards the Washington neo cons.

    I posted this video of Gonzalos Lira on another thread, but I think it belongs here since he mentions the oncoming famine in Europe. I don't know if he managed to escape Kharkov, or whether he's still being held hostage, but he wonders what will happen to Europe when the war ends - and it will end. He's quite informative about everything and the fact that he's still alive and didn't suffer the fate of the other journalists, has to do with the massive outcry by his followers and the Chilean government.

    When the US media / Joe Biden / Whitehouse speaker says something it is a 'fact'.
    When Putin says something it is 'propaganda'.

    But I've been around long enough to have seen this cycle a few times already.

    In 2001 the vote to invade Afghanistan was all 98 Senators present were in favor and over 99% of the House were in favor.

    And of the general public it was 89% in favor rising to 93% when the war was doing really well.

    Now among the public it's 46% in favor. Forget the politicians, they just do what their owners tell them.

    Go back a bit further. We all knew we had to win in Vietnam. That was 50-60 years ago. Now everyone I've mentioned it to said 'it was a mistake.'

    Russia and Putin have been pushing on other countries in the old Soviet block who have Russian minorities.
    Turns out they don't want to be part of an antidemocratic Russia.
    Russia agreed to an independent Ukraine that included the Crimea and Donbas.
    The Russians in those areas are part of other countries. Germans are part of the Czech Republic.
    Putin is the slimeball.
    Hands off the Ukraine. You ceded all off it.

    You certainly think like Putin and that isn't a compliment.

    Putin plan was to insert his dictatorship and take away democracy, and freedoms that Ukraine enjoys.
