“Crimea is Ukrainian.”

Geographically true, but let me fix your statement for you: Crimea is Russian military-held illegally annexed territory and is subject to attack since the occupational force is deploying from the previously identified illegally annexed region.

Sorry, but a bunch of people doing a Reddit poll WILL NOT overthrow Putin, not in Moscow, and not in Siberia.

...but you guys can keep praying for it, if you’re into that.

Mediazona and BBC News Russian, together with a group of volunteers, have confirmed the deaths of 14,093 Russian servicemen killed in the Ukraine war before February 12. They arrived at this total using only public records and other open sources.

###

Compare that to more than 150,000 dead on the Ukrainian side.

You didn’t fix sh*t. All of that is implicit in my statement

Crimea is Ukrainian.

Appreciate the effort, though. Just don’t be so condescending next time.

“Well, it’s a war. Russia started it.”

Life is so easy for people with the mind of a 5 year old.


It’s even easier for a useful idiot of Putin’s propaganda war. You’re such a cuck.

At least I don’t have to LIE about history to make my points - for if I was lying, I wouldn’t have 85% of the world AGREEING with me and NOT sanctioning Russia.

Well if your Dehr Leader says it’s true, to you it is true.

It’s not lies, it’s just BS propaganda that you buy...The Brooklyn Bridge is up for sale too.

Sanctions must be effective because NatGas sell for less than 3 bucks per cubic feet. Russia is selling oil to China and India for 40% discount.

Go Cuck it out with pooty poot.

Let me know what you guys ANY COUNTRY, other than Western countries or their bitches, to believe the BS that you guys spout regarding Russia and Ukraine.

Until then, you guys are no different than Holocaust Deniers.

Wasn’t condescending…just had a different opinion. If you can’t handle differing opinions, maybe you should not be on Free Republic? I didn’t say Crimea was not part of Ukraine. I said Crimea was being held by an occupying force that is launching an invasion of the mainland. That makes Crimea a legitimate target for the Ukraine. You’re letting your emotions get away from you. I personally do not care about the fight in the Ukraine one way or another. As a military vet, I do not mind seeing Russian forces caught in a meat grinder. It’s fewer ones we would have to worry about, and it shows how inept their training and motivation is.

No, not a different opinion - the same. All you did was expound on it, not “fix” it. But your “here, let me fix it for you” tone is incredibly condescending. Sad that you can’t recognize it. To prove my point, the “you’re letting you emotions get away from you” garbage is even more condescending. It’s not your opinion that I have a problem with it’s your tone. If you can’t reel that superior tone in, maybe you are the one who should go away.
