Whoever thought this is a moron. It was always about taking Ukraine's Black Sea coastal regions as a land bridge to Crimea.

So...exactly what Russia always said this was about? You going to pretend otherwise?

Where has Russia discussed the EU or admitted they were stealing Ukrainian land?

So essentially what he asked for before tens of thousands of people died and a country destroyed.

No indeed not. His proposal includes the territory conquered. That’s not what he was asking for.

You Putin apologists will continue with this ridiculous narrative that Putin only wants NATO and the EU to stop expanding. That’s ridiculous, first off, and second, it is not his business if the people of Georgia and Ukraine and Azerbaijan, and Kazakhstan and the Baltic States want to become western - they do!

Putin is a typical Russian despot who wants imperial conquest. You can parachute anywhere into Ukraine, Georgia or Azerbaijan and ask the people you meet, and they will corroborate exactly what I am telling you. I know because I have done it (less the parachute, of course).

An Azeri laughed at the idea that Russia was just protecting ethnic Russians when they invaded Ukraine. He said Russians have been saying that for hundreds of years whenever they invade their neighbors which is frequently.

Bet you wouldnt say that on OT, dcbl, lol

Every few days I have to stroll over there, get on their thread and say "Give to Mother Russia what is Mother Russia's". It gets their jimmies rustled enough for 3 or 4 pages of flattering comments.

sure I would, we should have never been involved with this “war” - hell, it really looks like we started it by violating the old pact about NATO expansion…

Why should Zelensky accept the deal? He's making very good money off this war.

The notion that Putin was going to roll into NATO was one of the dumbest (or dishonest, depending on the person uttering it) tripes spat during this conflict.


It was flat out dishonesty intended to bilk the American taxpayers out of billions of dollars

Sure.
And I never intended to have sex with super models and movie starlets!!!!!

Of course neither one of us actually had the chance as it turns out.

Sanctions are crippling Russia. Russia’s long term economic potential is being destroyed by its transformation into a war economy. A million and a half young Russian men have either fled the country or been ground into casualties in Ukraine. The Russian Black Sea Fleet is either on the bottom of the sea or cringing in fear as far east as it can hide. Ukrainian drones are now hitting Russian oil refineries up to a thousand miles away. Qualified refinery workers are leaving the threatened areas. Russia is begging, borrowing, or stealing munitions from Iran, China, and North Korea. America just underwrote Ukraine for another year are so. To fight for another year he will have to draft another three to five hundred thousand young men. He’s already tapped out the men of the conquered provenances, the prisons, miscellaneous volunteers, mercenaries, and Asiatic Russia. Therefore more European Russians will be taken, and that promises potential unrest.

Etc., etc., etc.!

Yep, not only has he never wanted to threaten any other neighbors, he never desired to bed hot young women or find the elexier of perpetual youth.

And neither did I!!! LOL

Wow that was an uneducated statement!

Today, U.S. tactical nuclear weapons remain at six bases in five NATO member countries, Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands, and Turkey. The UK and France have their own nuclear forces and no longer host U.S. weapons.

No nukes were moved East after the fall of the USSR! Not to Poland, Estonian, Latvia, Lithuania, nor will they go into Sweden or Finland. And they would not go into Ukraine if they were accepted into NATO!

Thousands of nuclear arms had been left on Ukrainian soil by Moscow after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. For a time, the Ukrainians had the third largest nuclear arsenal on the planet! But in the years that followed, Ukraine made the decision to completely denuclearize.

In exchange, the U.S., the U.K. and Russia would guarantee Ukraine's security in a 1994 agreement known as the Budapest Memorandum.

Who broke this agreement?

The U.S.? No
The U.K.? No
NATO? No
Putin’s Russia? Ding! Ding! Ding! We have a winner! Twice!

Not only that, but Putin announced in late March that he would send nuclear weapons west into Belarus!! Bet he’d do the same in a conquered Ukraine

Being a Putin simp requires stupidity, ignorance, or deep seated isolationism! Miscellaneous combinations are also possible.
