I’m not here to defend what Russia is doing.

The politicians in the EU and in the USA are not dummies. They know very well Russia. Yet, the EU and USA goes ahead with their decisions.
So, what exactly did they do to incite Russia to send a large army into Ukraine 1 month ago?
Quote:What do you think, someone else did do to incite an russian invasion of Ukraine.
Please pay attention: Russia chose the tool to use in this situation, nobody else. What happened that left Russia no choice but to invade Ukraine?

You seem to be saying that Ukraine should join NATO and the USA should have military bases there.

I didnt say that, please stop....too late (see below)
No i am saying what i say. I dont need you to tell me what i say. What a fucking surprise, isnt it?
No i am saying you are apologizing invasions, like in the quote above where you claimed someone "incited" Russia to invade Ukraine.

Not the same but an equivocation. A real bad one at that, since you need to demonstrate that Ukraine is not acting on her own behalf)
No, that is irrelevant.
The important component here is that there are 2 large mutual enemies: USA and Russia.
The USA continues to view Russia as problematic, even after the fall of the Soviet Union. Russia responds.
The USA wants to setup military bases everywhere in the world and you think Russia, China are not noticing that?
What the fuck is this deflection with China and military bases about? That is irrelevant to Russias invasion of Ukraine. Look at yourself, you are trying to justify this invasion by pointing to whatever the US does. I´ll repeat: whatever the US does (right or wrong, duh) does.not.justify an invasion of Ukraine by Russia. How hard is this to understand? Have you never read about whataboutism or what?
(March 27, 2022 at 10:11 am)Ferrocyanide Wrote:Yeah, just like Anomalocaris you are asked to condemn an action unconditionally worth of condemnation, and your reply is centerd around whataboutism and "thats the way things are". I am not asking you what the US does, i am not asking you how things are, i am not stupid, i know how things are, i dont need someone like you explaining to me how things are. I probably know much better than you how things are. Are we finished now with how things are? Can we fucking go back on topic now, pretty please?Quote:More, very bad ones, equivocations.
I was only documenting about some of the political games that these nations are playing.
Should Russia be held accountable for its invasion of Ukraine? Do you think the russian invasion of Ukraine was justified? Do you think any invasion of an independent and free nation is justified, under any circumstance
Please pay attention: Your answer should not revolve around the US (or any other state) and its actions, since all of this is irrelevant to the general evaluation of an independent nation by another nation.

If you were the canadian government, what would you do?
But ill bite: Invade Russia, because someone like you would go to a forum and defend my invasion by telling everyone that this "is how things are"?
(March 27, 2022 at 10:11 am)Ferrocyanide Wrote: Like I said previously, I am not trying to defend what Russia is doing.Yes you are trying to defend what Russia is doing, by using equivocations. And when i told you, you doubled down by making more abstract equivocations. Right here, right now.
What I am saying is very simple:
The USA takes action X.
Russia responds.
The USA responds.
and on and on it goes.
And now your equivocations are becoming even more abstract, and thus absurd.
US does something, Russia does something, thus invasions are ok.
Or were you trying to explain to me again "how things are". In that case sorry, I wasnt ware that "US doing stuff triggers Russia doing stuff". Thanks for explaining the world to (silly) me.

If you were the government of the USA, what decisions would you take? Would you go ahead and have Ukraine join NATO and would you setup military bases over there?
(March 27, 2022 at 10:11 am)Ferrocyanide Wrote:You dont have facts. okQuote:Thats what russian government controlled media are spewing, propaganda. Got some facts to support this?
In order to have such facts, you would have to discuss the situation with the people over there or you have to be living over there.
In the case of Ukraine, I do not truly know but I think it makes sense.
What you have (thanks for admitting) is "it makes sense". So russian state propaganda is "making sense to you". Well, good for you, i guess?
Since you know you have nothing you felt compelled to add that noone else can have possibly facts.
This is literally like claiming that Atheism is just another religion. Its a (not so) silent admission you have nothing.
(March 27, 2022 at 10:11 am)Ferrocyanide Wrote: It sounds like you are saying there is no anti-russian sentiment over thereWhere did i say that!!!???
Right, nowhere. So stop lying and suggesting that i did.
Me not buying russian state propaganda because "it makes sense", does not make me claim the opposite. You know the routine. You make claims, you provide evicence.
(March 27, 2022 at 10:11 am)Ferrocyanide Wrote: and you require me to provide evidence.So you do know that routine, fine!
I’m sorry, but I cannot satisfy your request
Then fucking stop lying and suggesting i am making unsupported claims like you.
But lets put your dishonesty and deflection aside. Ill grant you now that there are "anti russian sentiments" in the eastern parts of Ukraine. Does that justify an invasion of Ukraine by Russia?

I am unfortunately stuck talking to someone like you: An apologist for breach of international law and supporter of invasions.
Those Ukrainians didnt come here, made unsupported assertions because these "made sense" to them, and they didnt lie about what i said.
(March 27, 2022 at 10:11 am)Ferrocyanide Wrote: I’m not here to defend what Russia is doing.Oh yeah, the old "im just saying how it is", in order to avoid having to tell if you think what "is" is justifyable.
I am just telling you that what is happening is predictable.
Thank you Captain Obvious. Without you telling me dictators not giving a shit about international law, i wouldnt be able to tie my shoelaces.
Do you happen to know what 2+2 is? I am pondering this for all of my life. Would be great if someone like you would be able to communicate this to an idiot like me.

What is happening in Ukraine right now is a perfect moment to show how the USA can protect anyone.
What is stopping the USA? A piece of paper was not signed?
