At least they are dying with a rifle in their hand and not in a prison or gas chamber that the Russians will put most Ukrainian in if they took over. Putin wiould kill all Ukrainians if given the opportunity. He is like Hitler- but more of a jerk. |
Don’t be dramatic. This is not reality. |
|
And all they had to say was no NATO. So sad. |
Well obviously his propagandists haven't gotten the memo, because they say Ukrainians aren't a people, Ukraine isn't a country, Ukrainian isn't a language, et cetera. They want to completely erase Ukraine. And guess what, if Putin disagreed with that they wouldn't be on air. |
Untrue. The maps you are looking at are just a snapshot in time representing very narrow slices. Ukraine and Russia have been distinct people with distinct language and culture for well over a thousand years. Just stop already. If you're this ignorant of reality, you shouldn't even be posting. |
Brush up on a little history and you will learn that all throughout the Soviet era, Russian was imposed on Ukrainians. Kind of like how the English tried to stamp out Scots and Gaelic. |
Yeah. It's just you. But if you want to, go ahead and migrate to Moscow. From the US, you're free to leave anytime. "The interior ministry is preparing the legislation that would bar visitors from criticizing Russian policy or discrediting Soviet history. It would also require that they respect traditional Russian family values, culture and environment" https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2023/11/29/russian-lawmakers-to-mull-draft-loyalty-agreement-law-for-foreigners Good luck! |
So naive - why do you think Putin made that demand? He did not want the weight of US and allies on him when he invaded … he would have invaded anyway … |
Actually, it is. It's a stated goal to wipe out Ukraine as a nationality. Here's a link - watch all the clips on the right hand side. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aMjd1IVgAQU&list=PLLWQyEN3YRo7bpdyPlWscpvx2O8qSu0T1 You may have missed Putin's threat when he first started the war? His "sleeping beauty" comment? "Putin criticized Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky for failing to implement the protocol, and referenced an obscene song lyric to demonstrate what he wanted. "Whether you like it or don't like it, bear with it, my beauty," Putin said. Russia experts noted that Putin appeared to be quoting from "Sleeping Beauty in a Coffin" by the Soviet-era punk rock group Red Mold. "Sleeping beauty in a coffin, I crept up and f****d her. Like it, or dislike it, sleep my beauty," the English translation of the Russian lyrics reads." https://www.businessinsider.com/putin-macron-meeting-quote-obscene-lyrics-show-russia-ukraine-demands-2022-2 Sure enough, he let his soldiers use rape as a weapon in Ukraine. But you seem okay with that? |
What's so sad is your short-term memory. Actually, prior to when Putin first invaded Ukraine in 2014, Ukraine wasn't planning on joining NATO. The irony here is that BECAUSE Putin invaded in 2014, Ukraine wanted to join NATO! |
lol. Putin is a wannabe Hitler; just Russians are inferior intellectually to Germans and cannot get out of the their own way with corruption. If Russians were 33% as capable as Germans the world be in serious trouble with Putin. Luckily, for the most part; Russians are incompetent morons on the battlefield. I look forward to watching Moscow burn in 2024z |

Maybe we should be more selective in who we call "allies." We can't even take care of our own issues, let alone those of every other nation in the world. This is what an over-extended empire looks like. |
It's ironic that Putin keeps claiming his rationale to be that he didn't want NATO on his borders because it's a threat to him. The problem with that broken rationale of Vlad's is that NATO already was on his border, and how HE is bringing even more of Russia closer to NATO and is EXPANDING the amount of NATO on Russia's borders. Face it - anyone still claiming that Putin's invasion had anything to do with NATO or is somehow justified by NATO is completely incapable of critical thinking. Completely. |
