Have you been since 2014? I have. Both rural and urban Ukrainians want to be Europeans and not Russian. Yes they have historical ties to Russia, but they want to those ties to stay in the past and not continue into the present or the future.

The entire thing is a tragedy.


Agree with you on that point.

A civil war


It is not a civil war. It is a regular war between two soverign nations.

nobody wants except for Putin and western governments.



Putin and Putin alone is responsible for this tragedy. Any attempt to blame Ukraine or the West is bullshite. Yanokovich was impeached and removed from power under the laws of Ukraine. Even if his removal was unconstitutional under the laws of Ukraine (it was constitutional btw) his term expired in 2015. There was no coup and Zelensky is the legitimate and freely elected president of a sovereign Ukraine.

Not exactly.

You had one nation invade another and take a large state and a civil war erupt where the invaded furnished arms and troops to one side.

Now it’s a war between one nation and an invader.

It hasn’t been strictly a civil war in ten years.

You do know what the definition of a civil war is, don't you? Well in case you did not.

civil war
[ siv-uhl wawr ]
noun
a war between political factions or regions within the same country.

Ukraine and Russia have not been part of the same country since 1991.

You don't need to do this to yourself. Seriously.

Folks here have come unhinged from facts and truth. Jesus, I had an OT guy contending that NATO expansion "options" are exclusive of obligatory US approval.

It was an incredibly stupid submission. Yet, he gathered 12 upvotes on this board. That should be quit a perspective setter.

Go to Ukraine and see for yourself. The Ukrainians hate Russia for invading and hate the Russian people for not standing up to Putin. Will you find a few rural Ukrainians who want to be part of Russia, yes. However, those are mostly old men and women who think that being part of Russia would mean a bigger pension check and are a tiny percentage of the Ukrainian population.

This is the dumbest thing I've read in 2024. Russia and Ukraine are two different countries. Aren't you a doctor?

Yes Russia and Ukraine are two different countries.

Absolutely they are.

Which means you got sucked into a dumbass's post about the Donbass civil war and accepted his dumbass assertions about it.

You're referencing the Donbass Civil War?

You are an idiot. Sorry.

Does your kind of stupidity ever carry water here? If so ... what a horrid embarrassment.

No I wasn’t. Sir Winston said that he had been to Ukraine and Russia. I was asking SirWinston if he had been to Ukraine since 2014. The reason why I asked that is because the sentiments of the people of eastern Ukraine and how they view Russia have changed tremendously since 2014.

1. You are the idiot because you go off on someone and didn’t even realize what the person you are going off on was talking about.

2. It is a horrid embarrassment for you.

3. Are you man enough to admit you were wrong?

The saddest thing is that so-called "lifelong Republicans" in this thread are clearly sending blind upvotes to these leftists. Their lack of intellectual integrity / honesty is discouraging.
