They were Russians pretending to be rebel groups and recruiting other “rebels”.

It is the equivalent of what the CIA has done elsewhere.


Donbas did have a lot of Russians who were recruited to go there starting with Stalin's Russification campaign after he had murdered and starved to death 5 million Ukrainians.

If we just stop sending billions every 6 months to Ukraine I’d be happy?

Is that possible? Or are too many mouths fed by weapons and ammunition sent over or bought with funds?

As you point out he's wrong on the pics.
He's gone. SOP

As you said he's smart and knows law. I like him. He makes my brain work harder but he is a greased pig sometimes. Edited "most times"

ummmmmm

The Revolution of Dignity also known as the Ukrainian Revolution, took place in Ukraine in February 2014. Deadly clashes between protesters and state forces in the capital Kyiv culminated in the ousting of President Viktor Yanukovych, the return to the 2004 Constitution of Ukraine, and the outbreak of the 2014 Russo-Ukrainian War.

You understand that "protestors and state forces" were only Ukrainian on Ukrainian fighting, right? Wait theres more. Actual voting to join Russia. So Russia annexed them. Still, no war
quote:

The Russo-Ukrainian War began in February 2014. Following Ukraine's Revolution of Dignity, Russia supported pro-Russian separatists fighting the Ukrainian military in the Donbas War.

You get that pro-Russian separatists arent Russians, right? They would be just called Russians, and definitely not separatists. Still more
quote:

2014 Crimean status referendum, on March 16, 2014, concerning the status of Crimea that was conducted in the Autonomous Republic of Crimea and the city of Sevastopol (both subdivisions of Ukraine). 58.3% of the population of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea are ethnic Russians

Zelensky then began asking for entry into NATO, and eventually asked for fast-track entry

Russia responded

Would preventing the loss of 100K+ Ukrainian lives, basically for nothing except "Pressing Putin," constitute "killed support for Ukraine"?


You’re going to have to clarify what you mean by this.

Just tell Ukraine to let them take the land they want for now and hope they don’t want more land next year?

Again. Ukraine had the nukes. The US convinced them to get rid of their nukes with security assurances.

Russia was struggling

To clarify, the comment was about Russian economy struggling.

Employing young Ukrainians as combat fodder for ZERO PURPOSE


You seem to be looking for a better purpose than defending your own land. Is Putin’s purpose more agreeable to you?

My primary concern is that in terms of international diplomacy, Trump’s US is now no different from Putin’s Russia. Completely untrustworthy.

No I’m not doing virtue signaling.

Am i?

Okay.

I mean this affair could have (should have) ended with better results for Ukraine in 2022 than it will in 2025. Any deaths since Apr22 are on the parties who scuttled negotiations.

It was started in 2014 by election interference from the Obama administration. Blinkin lit the fuse when he stated that Ukraine May be fast tracked in to NATO.


This. Obama has this blood on his hands.

He didn’t. That’s an “alternate fact.”

HAHAH! Ok that's hilarious.

I had lunch with a "Ex" CIA agent who was working for an NGO over there during and prior to Maidan doing spook shite under the guise of cyber security work for pro democracy dissidents. Translation, the people that are in charge now. They were getting their funding from Hillary Clinton's State Department, probably through USAID, and George Soros.

You don't have to believe it. It's a fact.

Then why is it so hard for you to see that the person who’s sending the rockets to destroy the lives should be told to quit doing that?

Serious question - In terms of peace talks. What was Russia offering in 2022 that is better than what they are offering today?

You may have done better Intel.

Otherwise, it just sounds like people are lacking the courage to be honest about Trump completely caving to Putin because that is easier for him.

""The"" person?

Which person?

Fair warning ... be careful if you're unfamiliar with Minsk and Merkel's related admissions.

I'd assume in terms of negotiation competency neither side would accede to 2022 points as a starting basis.

Probably by being hellbent on being a part of NATO.
