3) There has been no "threat" to invade Ukraine. The US invented that and fed it to a complicit media.


This bit has not aged well....

B/B

There was no "threat" I ever saw. The fact there is a military operation there now is different to the question of was there an explicit threat. We kept hearing from the US there was, but please link us to the threat beforehand?

Look what the American media makes some people believe:
Putin often threatens to strike US with nuclear weapons.

I trust this guy way more than all the pseudo-expert opinions whom have posted on this forum and haven't been to Russia for years, or are economically exploiting women in Ukraine and thinking with their dick. And that also includes the outdated and hugely overrated opinion from anyone's significant other :) (:).

I missed this little gem. Now that is quote of the week material.

I am wondering if Putin himself realizes that he is a key geopolitical player at this time.
Europe will not be able to absorb the amount of refugees/slaves from the Ukraine.
Ukrainians think that the West will protect them. It’s a big mistake.
They are turning themselves into slavery.

On the other hand, Europe completely depends on Russian energy resources.
Russia continue all energy contracts at this time and sells the liquid gas for the skyrocketing price.
That’s how Europe finances the Russian side for this war. Nobody wants to talk about it.
Just wait until there is deficit of energy in EU. You will see MAD Europeans. They do not look pretty!!!

This situation is a chance for the USA to obtain a superpower at NO COST!!!
They will give Ukraine as much weapons as they want.
Fight, Ukrainians, fight!!!
Fight, Russians, fight!!!!
The superpower dream of American politicians is coming through……..

Well my opinion is that if Russia is going to accomplish its goal in Ukraine they're going to have to start ramping up their military actions because they haven't made too much progress thus far. Hopefully soon there will be a ceasefire to spare the loss of many lives.

Unfortunately Russia did not keep the two ceasefires they just had.

Its really difficult for you to cut through propaganda isn't it.

Think about it: Russians WANT the civilians to leave, that way they can put all their power into the attack, now they have to hold back
And : Ukraine does NOT want the civilians to leave, it will mean the cities surrender.

Now what happens if Ukraine does not stop shooting, then of course fire is returned.

Gem.

While I respect the man the vid references,and it was a good presentation, the quote comes off as  arrogant and dismissive of wives of your forums membership.
Mostly  intelligent women who whether from Russia or Ukraine  very posdibly have relatives both places ,and visit  both semi often with certainly more indepth knowledge than danchick has obtained despite his  more immeresed circumstances.

The other barb thrown at the men is tit for tat  here, I suppose childishly amusing if you really think most reasonsbly succesful men here think with thier little heads.

Granted we can all be guilty of that at times ,so that parts amusing in the slightly less serious time it was stated ,but given the context of the situation with members inlaws ,many whom are elderly  homes and lives in some degree of danger, it  falls pretty flat to me as a gem.

The way I see it, you are the one who is pushing blatant propaganda. How about you let the reader to decide?

This will be easy: Russia is the country who said that they were not going to invade Ukraine, that it was only a drill.  :coffeeread:

Poor Con Federate..... and Con trarian.... (Con) coincidence or true?) on my post earlier No; « Reply #5 on: 31 January 2022, 17:42:48 » I told you a few accurate things that I have seen and experienced in my life when I visited,Russia and before that Ukraine.

Reading the amound of posts you make I can safely guess that you are not moving around except when you have to go to thr toilet.

Pitty because if you had moved your back side and travelled you may had the chance to meet a nice woman to keep you warm and happy in the nights!

I don't know how old are you but take advice of the very well travelled 2Talbill and maybe your life style will change for the better. It is never too late......

Wish you luck and I hope you take notice. don't waste your life on the boards fighting wind mills, like thr trolls .... they are simply ugly creatures .... that hate everybody who they can't match!

2) If Donbass had been "invaded" it would by now be part of the RF.

Georgia, Syria & Moldova has been invaded, none of which is part of the RF.
