BTW, that total destruction will only occur, if Zelenskyy decides to continue the conflict, rather than seek an agreement to end it.

That’s a non-answer. Are you ashamed to say why you are so pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine?

Or is it because you are not so much pro-Russia as you are pro-Putin? Was it the picture on the horse that did it?

“Enough already. Yanukovich was removed by a vote of the Ukrainian parliament. In the meantime there have be two presidential elections. The political problem of Donbas could have been resolved if it were not for the armed intervention of the Russians.”

EXACTLY! And that armed intervention began in 2014.

Much of the world has turned against Russia. She will not be able to function internationally.

It could be fixation, which is neurotic and pathological

Kinda like you with war?

“Just three days ago, Zelensky said the partition of Ukraine was off the table. Now it’s on the table.”

They will have to cede land to Russia. When that happens, Zelensky hasnt long to live if he stays in the Ukraine.

That was the biggest mistake anyone could have done.

Extremely stupid.

BS! After armed militants drove out the Democratically elected President…an illegal impeachment proceeding without constitutional percentage numbers was held. Why do you think 3 oblasts seceded? Because they hated Yanukovich?

“Kinda like you with war?”

Whoa, that’s projection. If I were fixated with war I’d be cheering on Russia’s invasion, because it started this war (which actually began in 2014 with Russia’s limited invasion, but invasion nonetheless). If I were fixated with war I’d brimming with confidence that I could survive in Russia in a global nuclear war, as your comrade BobL fantasizes about; when in fact I said it would be a global catastrophe. If I were fixated with war I’d be cheering on the wholesale destruction of a sovereign nation that posed no threat to Russia. But I’m not. YOU all are.

So, again, answer my question: What’s with your unhealthy attraction to Putin and Russia? It can’t be anything to do with “anti-Nazis,” because Russia has its fair share. No, it must be something more. So, what is it?

My “pic on the horse’s azz” made you fantasize about Putin? Wow.

The oblasts did not secede. After being taken over by Russian backed armed militants illegal referenda were held that called for autonomy, not independence. Again, this could have been solved politically if not for Russian armed intervention. This was an internal dispute within Ukraine and none of Russia’s business. Russia needs to accept that Ukraine is an independent country, not a dependency of Russia. The days of a Greater Russian Empire are over.

Just because this latest NATO provocation has been stopped dead in it’s tracks, that’s no reason to lash out at me. I suppose if it keeps you from beating your wife and kicking your dog, have at it. Now, once again, Eastern Ukraine is being denazified by Russia. They have experience with this and it’s shouldn’t take much longer, so please sit tight.

“Just because this latest NATO provocation has been stopped dead in it’s tracks...”

What “latest NATO provocation?” Did I miss something? Did Poland invade and annex Belarus?

“The oblasts did not secede. After being taken over by Russian backed armed militants illegal referenda were held that called for autonomy, not independence.”

They declared themselves to be People’s Republics. A Republic is by its very definition independent, as it is the supreme power, through its people and their representatives. That means SUPREME; no other authority has power over it. Now, it could be that by “republic” they meant in the Soviet sense, which means they are just vassals; but if so, they have declared themselves not to be vassals of Ukraine.

In any event, republic or autonomous zone or whatever, by declaring themselves separatists (obvious meaning: they want to be separate from Ukraine’s authority and control) they started a civil war within and against sovereign Ukraine.

So, there WAS no “latest NATO provocation,” or else you would have pointed it out instead of posting a video of your love interest.

I suggest you lose the anger and do some rudimentary research. Putin reacted to NATOs provocation. Now run along. It 💤 nap time at the home.
