Well I hope he was taken by Ukraine. Maybe he can be bartered for all the innocent Ukrainian children kidnapped by Russia. |
Lol Kadyrov is posting photos of them together in his TG. Seems he’s been located. Also, I don’t think you and Kadyrov use the word cousin in the same way. |
Lol I know you run items that are public information but add “reportedly” as if you’re relaying some top secret info. Kadyrov posted his appeal on his tg channel for all and sundry. It’s not “reportedly”. It’s an actual fact. |
Nope, just like to see you squirm when asked for what your definition of “wanting peace” actually means. And really, cleared of subtext and bs, it’s that your version of peace amounts to simply abandoning Ukraine, and also our European allies, and letting an aggressive hostile nation subsume another. The clearer part is that you can’t even comprehend why this is damaging to our reputation and to the Western world order and western values. A few reasons we help Ukraine: 1) we are spending a pittance of our normal defense budget to basically help grind down Russia and expose how poorly prepared they are. 2) it shows we stand in solidarity with Europe. We don’t abandon them in times of need. We can be trusted. And that’s even with our previous, bipolar seeming past mistake of having elected Donald Trump. His election showed the world that we really are a topsy turvy place and that anything could happen electorally in any given 4 year period. I mean we can go from a stable president like Obama to a real piece of sht like trump, who eschewed thinking and diplomacy. But you can’t grasp any of that. All you can see is wanting to immediately back out and leave the Ukrainians twisting in the wind for “peace”. It won’t be a long peace if Putin is emboldened by our retreat and he takes Ukraine and the world sees we are just not interested in long term stability and capable of being a trusted ally. |
The fact that you type these things with a straight face tells me you're either very young, or your cortex is not fully developed for whatever reason. "Western world order" and "western values" aren't a thing outside of America and Europe. And they certainly aren't a welcome thing, or a respected thing. The West was never held back by its own order. These rules are for other countries. |
Okay, to expand on what “upholding western values” means, it means upholding the values of non-authoritarian countries like England, France, US etc. Vs authoritarian like Russia etc. Basically democracy, internet access, non-censorship, non-communism, free thought, ya know, the good stuff. Also, it’s weird that you seized on that sentence out of the broader context of my argument. who fking cares? What’s important is that we stand by those types of countries and values. Standing by European allies and Ukraine does that. Or maybe you are a pro Russia shill and just here to muck rake and don’t actually like democracy. |
Again, in case you were not aware, there are a handful of trolls on DCUM, who mainly inhabit the Political Forum, but also get out to other fora once in a while, who espouse extreme right views, pro-Trump, pro-Russia and anti-Ukraine views, and are anti-LGBT, pro-book-banning, etc. Because their mission is to rile people up. Jeff says they spend all day doing this. |
But are you Ukrainian? Just not in the US? |
|
Black people - I can tell by accent if they are African Asian people - by last names Russians and Ukrainians have the same accent and there are Russians with Ukrainian last names and vice versa. Weird spelling can be a giveaway |
In the US?! Or maybe you meant whining? |
Why would PP tell you this? It's not critical to the discussion. We are all allowed to opine on this conflict, given it affects a lot of countries, what with sanctions and grain deals. |
Wow. You're dumb. |
Why not? |
I see. I come onto your property and then I tell you that if you don't give me some of that property I will kill and maim your children. So I give you the property and that is so beneficial for everyone. |
