True. Or, assisting with, for sure.
Just like what happened when the NAZI socialist regime invaded Russia has nothing to do with the Russians invading Ukraine today.
No he is not like any of those others - this guy is a surrender monkey, who had a heroic start, then became the planner of the Belgrade butchery.
“Ukraine has never been a threat to Russia.”
Cuba was never a threat to the US. Should we have let Russia put missiles there?
Speaking truth to power is, unfortunately, not a career advancement asset.

Only if it is actually a truth. No guarantee he does
We were allied with Stalin during WWII. That’s a dumb ad hominem argument, and you’re confusing Zelenskyy with his opponent Poroshenko who came to power after the Maidan protests. I any case, if I were the Ukrainian President, I would take any allies I could get.
So history has no bearing on the present?
Who knew?

Someone should tell the Jews!
As I’ve posted before, any of us who served in Europe before the fall of the USSR see the Soviets never left, but merely changed their name.
It amazes me how many have bought into calling them Russians rather than Soviets - their soldiers are still operating as the Red Army did in WWII.
I don’t wish war with the Soviets over Ukraine - Europe should defend Europe if it actually matters to them. But we should not allow the Soviets to reassemble the USSR, and certainly stop the formation of the new Axis of Russia and China being integrated militarily.
If China’s PLA steps into Ukraine, then we are definitely back in 1939.
To the contrary. Castro actively lobbied the Russians to nuke New York City.

Like us?
And primary language is not always an indicator of political affiliation: otherwise the US would still belong to Great Britain.
To some extent, yes. But what a Russian leader did 90 years ago shouldn’t be dictating what we do today. And it certainly isn’t justification for sending US personnel there to fight for Ukraine.
Did Putin cause them to starve?
What are your thoughts on Germany and it’s leadership? Should they be shunned because of what Hitler did?
Given, you’re statement I guess you’re ok with reparations from slavery?
I’ve mentioned similar....about (coincidentally) these folks being the same group, pushing this *new* narrative. Quite the (grift ?) shift.
The vaccine nonsense has gone out the window and their Lord God Fauci seems to have completely disappeared. But they shouldn’t worry because he is still the highest paid federal employee. Thank goodness Joe Biden and the media gave them something else to point fingers and lecture us about. Somehow Biden saying we wouldn’t do anything if there was a “minor incursion” and then goading Putin for the next two months by insisting “the Russians are going to invade” which resulted in a very predictable outcome is seen as brilliant foreign policy.
This was Biden’s wag the dog.....forceed error. Clearly he screws up everything he touches.
The media needs to blame Joe Biden for this mess.....
Most of the Putinistas here are simply accepting a bad ad hominem argument that because Ukraine is supported by our own detested regime, the Ukrainians must be in the wrong.
It's quite possible for the US to have Garland running the Dem Staatssicherheitsdienst at home while the bear (and China) bite us in the behind. In fact, it's even more likely given the Dem's corrupt incompetence.
Neither Russia nor Ukraine are the "good guys," but Ukraine didn't invade Russian territory.
I don’t think you’ve been listening. The Russian military operation is in its final phases. Zelensky needs to get his zzz to the negotiating table.
Russian oppression in Ukraine goes back a long way, as it does in most of Eastern Europe.
Yes primary language is not always an indication of political affiliation. Plenty of those Russian speakers likely voted for independence from Russia back in 1991. I base that opinion looking at the percentages of people in the Donbas who voted for independence back in 1991.
Although some of those pro independence people have probably moved west since 2014.
