But to keep you from guessing, my druthers are for peace.

And to just give Russia whatever they want without resistance.

When the interim government took over for the Russian puppet, they told Putin that they would not seek NATO membership, Russia didn’t care. They wanted Crimea back.As I said, you're poorly informed. When the interim government took over, Russia already had Crimea.

The interim Yatseniuk Government which came to power initially said, with reference to the country's non-aligned status, that it had no plans to join NATO.[7] However, following the Russian military invasion in Ukraine and parliamentary elections in October 2014, the new government made joining NATO a priority

Russian interference in Ukrainian politics .... in 2014?

Again, answer the question directly for once. I know what I am asking. I definitely know more about this than you do. So please answer the question.

What is it about the 2014 coup that you do understand?

Educate me oh wise one. Please talk more about how Ukraine should concede territory formally and then in the next breath talk about peace.

I don’t get the “ukriane should just lay there and take it” crowd.

'But you see, Ukraine deserved it because Russian security interests should supersede their own! And because of a dastardly coup, the Russians had to invade!'

quote:

A week or two there was a video of a drone grenade strike on a RF soldier getting head from another RF soldier in a trench or something. I believe the Russian response was that the soldiers were "taking turns kissing the icon," which is something that Orthodox folks do.

---

I don’t think they were killed since you can see them jumping from the trench after the grenade exploded in the trench next to them.

The one getting the blowjob may have lost his penis, however, when the fellater bit down hard in shock when the grenade exploded.

Your reference was a request for a mulligan after things did not work out the way the coup players expected. It was the same thing Ukraine attempted after the invasion. It's kind of a pattern. Oh! Wait! those things you were asking for last month, and we said "frick You!" as we laughed .... we are 100% on board and willing to do them now.

If only we could turn back time.

Perhaps you were referring to 2004? But suffice it to say, Russian interference wasn't running the 2014 coup d'etat.

Sorry but your info comes right out of the Kremlin via Putin's Pundits and propaganda, just like you don't know crap about oil.

Russia actually had an agreement with NATO and a seat at NATO's table. Putin crapped all over it.

The INVASION was in 2014, not 2022.

Brother, you really need to focus on the timeline of the Crimean issue. Because that timeline flies in the face of this notion.

My reference backs up what I posted.

Russia didn’t conquer and annex Crimea in a day. It took several weeks.

It did go fairly quickly, but it took time.

I think Putin believed he could pull off Crimea 2 in thd Februsry attack. He got a few key players to help him, but unlike in Crimea, Ukrainians didn’t roll over. They shocked the Russians in Kiev. They stemmed the tide. They beat Putin back.

This us not Ctinea2.

Now on that, you may be right.
