Russian soldiers have installed a Lenin statie in captured Ukrainian territory per twitter.
I've tried to argue those points, in a rational manner, since February (and I don't believe I've ever suggested that my view is uniquely correct - and odds are it isn't). And FWIW, while I sympathize with people in any country that is being invaded, I do not think the "moral obligation" argument by itself is sufficient to risk the lives of US military personnel - there is no end to people who need help, but way too many US servicemen have already died, in wars that appear (in retrospect) to have been unnecessary.
Anyway, thanks for the reply!
Well said sir.
No it was there but the Ukrainians had taken it down.
The Russians put it back up.
You are *funny*. Thanks for making me laugh.
“How, exactly, will Russia’s war with Ukraine give them Black Sea access? The last I looked, Turkey controls the Bosporus and Dardenelles.”
Maybe Google it: “In general, there are 13 seaports located on the continental part of Ukraine in the Black Sea and Azov basins, as well as the Danube Delta: Reni, Izmail, Ust-Dunaisk, Bilhorod-Dnistrovsky, Chornomorsk, Odesa, Pivdennyi, Mykolaiv, Olvia, Kherson, Skadovsk, Berdyansk, Mariupol, the total capacity of which is around 260 million tons…” That would be access to the Black Sea via ports on the Black Sea. Yah know, ports - those things where ships dock…
Too late. Our senators went to Taiwan yesterday to talk war.
War with China, imo and that of others too, was always the real goal. Russia was a threat as a China helper so first they had to wear her down for awhile.
Now China is UP. Their turn.
So here is my question...will China content itself with a proxy war in Taiwan?

I watched the video. It was a statue that Ukrainians had taken down. The Russian troops simply restored it.
It is true, as you said however. I do believe.
So you really are that ignorant of the geography. Wow.
Russia has plenty of Black Sea and Sea of Azov coastline/ports without Ukraine.
No, the neomarxists here still want Marxism there, which is why they are all talk but no action whatsoever when it comes to stopping Putin’s invasion. Actually, there was action...they took every action they could to soften up Ukraine. Ukraine was set up for a Russian invasion by our leftwing loons, beginning in Bill Clinton’s admin, and continuing through Obama’s meaningless assault blankets.
Putin is also a supporter of the arts.
Rwanda. Tiny hands floating in a red river. Cover of Time.
We did nothing.

And a huge doglover.

In 2015 Ukraine started decommunization process removing communist symbols. By 2017 all Lenin statues were removed except for two that were in the Chernobyl zone.
So what if Putin loves dogs, Hitler loved dogs too. It doesn't make you a good person. Don't invade neighboring countries .
It was not a source of dirty money for the American politicians. Nor did Fauchi have bio labs there. That is the difference. The politician’s source of dirty money and Fauchi’s bio labs must be protected no matter what.
