Hey Sisko, seeing as you're so determined to hijack this thread into a discussion on the Euromaidan and how the war is all the USA's fault, how about you create a separate thread on the subject as has been suggested to you already? :roll: Not my fault you keep bringing it up. All I said was the ver...

Man. Is someone suggesting that the Ukrainian population collectively wants to surrender to Russia as opposed to keep fighting? Because I feel like that is being implied but not said. I feel like Sisko is being disingenious with his sources. Sure, the people who 'disagree' can't use google, but I'm...

I can find nothing online to collaborate Siskos claims about banned political parties. https://letmegooglethat.com/?q=Ukraine+bans+political+parties And even if you could, I think it'd ea bit of a reach to describe banning political parties that are actively trying to help Russia take over the coun...

I am beginning to think that Russia knew about the attack but allowed it to happen so it could be used for political purposes, hence all the finger-pointing at Ukraine. Putin knows damn well Ukraine had nothing to do with it but that doesn't matter. All that matters is that he wins in Ukraine. More...

Finally, Ukraine has become a dictatorship run by Zelensky and his Military Junta, Ukrainians know this, and if they get unhappy enough with him they'll force him to flee to the West just like they drove out Viktor all those years ago so the war can end and Ukraine can get back to the business of n...

Exclusive: Iran alerted Russia to security threat before Moscow attack I am beginning to think that Russia knew about the attack but allowed it to happen so it could be used for political purposes, hence all the finger-pointing at Ukraine.

So wait, Stalin wasn't a murderous autocrat and the Soviet Union did nothing wrong? I'd love a thread about this.

This is interesting because to me because this is already the most likely conclusion. Not suing for peace is just going to lead to Russia getting ALL of Ukraine. They could and should have negotiated from a position of relative strength when they had the chance. Either way, there's more harm to be ...

I mean, sure, keep talking, I don't see where talking is going to cause harm here. I just don't expect it to accomplish much. The harm would be encouraging Putin and company personally by giving them evidence that if they stay the course Ukraine will fold and give them what they want. This is inter...

Blood doesn't matter on the modern battlefield. Fires does. And guess what??? The sheer paltry amount of Ukrainian fires holding off Russians? Yeah.... Ukraine literally has as much artillery as the entire US army. It had more tanks and armoured vehicles than most of Europe put together. And you're...

Minus the fact that 2023 Ukrainian Summer offensive lacked the thing that NATO armies count most on... complete and uncontested control of the air. Those NATO style offensives are predicated on being able to ring up HQ and declare that certain hilltops should not exist anymore, or deep strike reinf...

Trump says US Supreme Court ruling to keep him on Colorado ballot 'will bring country together' Donald Trump has praised the US Supreme Court's "very well crafted" ruling to keep him on the ballot in the Colorado primary election after in an unprecedented legal case. The ruling meant the ...

American domestic media coverage of the contest. "Biden has problems, he's so old, the economy is only doing REALLY good not REALLY REALLY good, he didn't instant transmission to the Kremlin and kill Putin on Feb 23, 2022 and he sometimes says things that are old man speak." "Trump is...

Also, we have rules about using sources that are behind a paywall that require you to cut and paste the relevant info, something that you have not done for that Wall Street Journal article. Funny that you suddenly care about academic rigor or following the board's debate rules, but noted. I legitim...

So now the USA is responsible for the Russian invasion of Ukraine? You're completely delusional if you really believe that :lol: :lol: :lol: So January 6th was a coup because it almost forced a change of government in violation of the USA constitution, but when Ukraine does it, and the leader Ukrai...

No, you just take their money, as per your own admission: :roll: That you are so utterly incapable of recognizing when you're being goosed is my favorite part of this entire discussion. I mean, of course I'm getting paid by the Kremlin! What other explanation is there for being against a war starte...

My understanding is that Russia (or at least Sisko :) ) fears NATO encirclement Screw you. I'm not Russia and I don't 'fear' a Nato encirclement of the country. I simply said that the USA's policy towards Ukraine caused this conflict. The pro-Ukranian stooges in this thread have been wrong about Eu...

Is accusing me of acting like a broken record, while acting like a broken record not the very definition of projecting? :lol: :lol: :lol: Maybe I wouldn't have to keep asking you the same thing if you came up with a coherent answer to the question actually put to you as opposed to constantly evadin...

This coming from the guy who said this whole thing was America's fault? It's immediately clear whose side you are on. You've gone from attempting to fuse talking points into something cogent to just telling people to shut up. Wow, sure showed me! Are you now denying that you said this? Will the US ...

Fuck off, you don't get to tell me what to do, asshole. So you'll sit and question why other people think Ukraine will lose while being unable to offer anything when asked the counterfactual of how they're going to win? Do I need to start citing debate rules to compel an answer or concession from y...

Is it lost or unwinnable though? Vympel said earlier that not every war is the 2nd World War, but even in that war, the USSR lost millions in months and kept going ANYWAY. People who expect a plucky Ukrainian victory when massively outnumbered the way Ukraine is are living in Wehraboo fantasy land,...

Is 6 million+ sizable enough for you? That's how many have fled the country so far. If the war is already lost, or at least unwinnable, I'd rather see every soul left in Ukraine fleeing into the EU. Better a life in exile than death by shell or bullet. I don't think a long deadly stalemate is ever ...

Will the US stop trying to meddle in other countries' spheres of influence and couping neighbors after this, or do you think we'll just do it even harder? This entire war is the USA's fault, then it not immediately ending and dragging on for years with bloody casualties and eventually a Ukrainian d...
