Good analysis of what options (or lack of) the west has with their commitment to killing Ukranians.

Oh of we're just talking about random senators or TV personalities then yeah Russia has lots of people that want to restore the Soviet union. I meant from people at their MOF or MOD, or in the presidents office, people who's threats would carry weight beyond playing to domestic politics.

It's cute that you try to talk it down but prominent figures in Russia are talking about invading Europe, murdering its people and eradicating cities.

And no one West of the Russian border cares one bit about moving the Russian border even a meter eastwards. The claim that Nato is a threat to Russia is a sad lie it tells itself to justify its imperialism.

You seem to be ignoring your talking heads vs the Russian ones..

What am I ignoring? That it's a complete waste of time engaging with you because you never acknowledge that you are a liar?

[–] [email protected] -5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's hard to spell it out for you more clearly. There are plenty of people in the US and Europe advocating for the break up of Russia.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You still have not provided any proof for the idiotic claim that anyone wants to threatens Russia. It remains a fantasy to justify Russian imperialism, nothing more. Just like a bot you only spew more and more of your BS hoping anything would stick without ever acknowledging that you have been called out for your lies.

Are you trying to rebrand useful idiot to no longer mean dumbasses who repeat Moscows fairytales 😂? That'll be as successfull as Russia claiming it did not start WW2 together with the Nazis to eat up Poland.

Also your link is a fictional opinion piece by some "journalist". The comment below the article gives a great summary:

JHC this is one of the worst examples of ‘fantasy realism’ I’ve ever seen. I don’t doubt that the US motives aren’t stellar and never have been but good god man, russia has shown itself for over 400 years to be a brutal imperialist terrorist state and is slaughtering, raping, torturing Ukrainian civilians (men, women, AND children) in a godawful genocide (can’t say that word here? I don’t see a trace of it). You know damn well what would happen in occupied territories if ‘negotiations’ were carried out before russia was thoroughly kicked out of Ukraine and defeated. Putin apologist/tankie is what I see here.

So still no one in the West threatening Russian territorial integrity. (Because no one gives a shit about that crap land, all we ever wanted was to just buy your resources and let it be)

Your chauvanism is showing 🤡

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I think you don't even know what that word means. And you just keep running in circles, ignoring reality.

Ahh logical fallacies. Always the backup when someone loses an argument.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bro there is no argument where fallacies could have taken place. You never engaged in one and stuck to spreading your lies.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Just a bit of education for you. When engaging in a discussion with someone, like you replying to my comments and me to you (that's a discussion), attacking the individual instead of the argument is called an Ad Hominem attack. Look it up. You've already lost your position and my respect, I'm just trying to help you out here.

[–] [email protected] -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You ignoring any arguments that don't align with your worldview while not providing any yourself is not a discussion. Also note that I don't care about the respect of a Russia apologist - to me you are just as pathetic as the nazis running around these days. Your "position" was lost from the start but you really cannot see it - or just don't want to.
