Russian territory?

All the attacks have been on sovereign Ukraine's territory. Bullshit referendum results change nothing. The international community sticks to the 1991 borders as internationally negotiated and signed off multiple times by Russia in front of witnesses from over a dozen countries. A referendum held under military occupation which didn't even allow the status quo to be chosen has no legitimacy. And Russia knows it.

As for negotiation, I'm with JFK.

I still remember the fifth grade teacher moralizing about bullying as wrong as it was aimed at me and others.

Later on the playground a mob of children later dragged the bullies around the playground creating a disturbance beyond the control of the playground monitors.

I felt like Rodney King in the middle of the LA riots in 1992.

We are pretending we are fighting a war against Hitler when the only winner of a war with Russia is the Hitler in China, Xi Jinping.

He cut a deal to end the “Cuban Missile Crisis” right before the 1962 midterms.

He looked tough the Soviets pulling missiles out of Cuba but JFK had a secret understanding with the Soviets to pull US missiles out of Turkey after the mid-term elections.

You’re a foreigner. Get your dump to fight the Russians.
Stay out of American business.

Spare me that Nonsense. Russia has been warning for a decade that NATO threatening to expand to Uke could prompt a war. We ignored them. The US has been much more imperialistic over the last 30 years than Russia. This ain’t our fight.

—> BS - nobody “provoked” Russia

Yes, this is a very good example of a Zeeper demonstrating they can only see one side of the coin.

I’m guessing that in Canada coins also have two sides.

Yet you post things that demonstrate a denial of a second side.

Thank you.

Not that it makes any difference, but you know Trump said otherwise.

Empires either keep growing or they fail. If you want the USA to remain a superpower you have to accept that we are an expansionist state.

We learned that lesson and the policy of containment won us the Cold War: oppose all attempts at communist expansion anywhere in the world.

Knock yourself out then.

The 99-year-old Henry Kissinger outlined a negotiated settlement months ago and the globalists ignored the old man. If the world ends up in nuclear ruins over this, there will be a lot of regret among the actors still living, and envy of the fortunate dead.
The Great Reset will not happen, as there will be nothing left to reset.

Russia could make that same argument. They have more to fear from the west than the West does from them.

I've come to believe the globohomos pushing for war have no regret.

They would gladly destroy the world to rule over the ashes.

But don’t play the victim card Ukraine when Russia chooses to strike back.

Ukraine did not invade Russia.

Russia invaded Ukraine, as it has done before, when Russia believed the USA was weak and Ukraine would not respond effectively.

Russia has repeatedly "played the victim card" in this war.

Additional info from Russian source of intent...

"Russian Security Council Deputy Chairman Dmitry Medvedev said this is only the beginning of the response, saying according to a state media translation:

"The first episode is over. There will be others... I will express my personal position... The Ukrainian state in its current configuration with the Nazi political regime will pose a constant, direct and clear threat to Russia. Therefore, in addition to protecting our people and protecting the country's borders, the goal of our future actions … should be a complete dismantling of the political regime of Ukraine," Medvedev wrote on his Telegram channel.

After years of poking pushing and prodding Russia acted militarily in Ukraine the people who ultimately wanted regime change in Russia and ignored China as the bigger threat got their wish.

Your war will lead to a Xi Jinping victory IMHO.

Maybe the people that rage against Putin really work for China secretly?
