This is the craziest argument I’ve ever seen on FR. You’re seriously comparing the unprovoked 911 attacks by Muslims with A Ukrainian counter strike against an unprovoked invading Russian force? I’m out. Will not respond to further nonsense.

I don’t think Cuba would put up the fight Ukraine is. All we would need to do is stop the embargo and they would tell Moscow to go pound sand.

Your analogies are pretty weak today.

If you’d ask islamists they’d say it wasn’t unprovoked. You sure won’t respond, the cognitive dissonance is too strong.

You sure are emotionally stunted and immature for an old geezer. Your “you know I’m right” schtick is super amateur and lightweight.

Yet, here you are projecting, unable to refute what I posted back to you in plain English about why your idea is a very poor one. I didn’t respond to the other parts of your post, because it’s the Monday morning insults from an anonymous old man on the internet. Thankfully you’re irrelevant and nobody listens to your foreign policy suggestions.

Yep, any logistics type target is fair game.

The entire update is ironic considering British intelligence was directly involved with meddling in the 2016 Presidential election.

***Notice that you keyed up on it, tacitly approving the sentence prior to it. That’s one of the ways I know I’m right, and soon enough you’ll see it as one of the ways you know I’m right.

Yet, here you are projecting, unable to refute what I posted back to you in plain English about why your idea is a very poor one.
***You really are focused on this “you know I’m right stuff”, almost as if you’re incapable of defending your own position. It must really suq to be you.

I didn’t respond to the other parts of your post,
***acceding to them...

because it’s the Monday morning insults from an anonymous old man on the internet.
***Oh, lookie here, you just wanna talk ad hominems now, rather than defend your position. The reason you’re stuck in this fallacy-land is because... you know I’m right... it’s because you cannot defend your position, you don’t know how. Here is HOW: Take a critical thinking class. You’ll thank me later.

Thankfully
***Oh, lookie, it appears you’re already thanking me.

you’re irrelevant and nobody listens to your foreign policy suggestions.
***Your unsupported ad hominems are a testament to the fact that I put up positions and suggestions and defend them but guys like you are stuck throwing darts and ad hominems and using classic fallacies. You’re right alongside all those other foreign policy pantywaist appeasers who use a priori reasoning to assert that we shouldn’t get involved in other countries’ affairs because we shouldn’t get involved in other countries’ affairs — as if that was some kind of brilliant reasoning.

What is illegitimate about the referendum? Do they think anyone in Kherson or Mariupol is going to vote to stay in Ukraine?

Ah yes tovarich, we can except a free and fair vote held by a foreign occupation force. Just ignore the Russian soldiers with guns standing next to the voting booth. They are just there for security and not for intimidating the voters, right? And let me guess, it’ll be the a Russians counting the votes too. They can be expected to be impartial, right? No, no, there’s nothing illegitimate at all. /sarc

A lot of the worlds governments were involved in throwing the last two elections.

This war in the Ukraine is the culmination of two historically barbarous peoples. Let them kill each other off.

“Terrorists thought otherwise.”

So do Putin and his gang of terrorists. That doesn’t make them right.

They’re not. So good for Ukraine. Your rust bucket joke of a Navy is down one Flagship, you’re all of a sudden short a whole bunch of General officers, and now you’ll be short of fuel for those crappy tanks that keep falling apart.

Maybe you should do the right thing and go back to Russia. Then you can go back to stealing everything that isn’t nailed down, raping your illiterate conscripts and calling it “training”, and swilling cheap vodka until you die at 45.

Then in about 15 years when your population is down by another 30% China can move in and take the remaining Russian women as concubines.

You certainly won’t be using them.

Well that’s an unexpected non sequitur. Tovarich, please try again to explain how any vote inside Ukraine conducted by a armed Russian occupation force can be legitimate. I’ll wait.

Not with Russian guns pointed at their heads. It’ll be every bit as legitimate as the last election Saddam Hussein won just before his own people had him hanged by the neck until he was dead.

“...Not with Russian guns pointed at their heads...”

And the Ukrainians in the Donbas have had Russian guns to their heads for YEARS. My family there knows how the Russian thugs operate and lie.

“Do you feel America deserved it on 9/11?”

Did you guys invade Saudi Arabia, and I missed it?
