Russia’s army will not withstand the coming Ukrainian counteroffensive.

But even if the coming attack were to fail, it does not matter.

Poland is waiting, ready, and easily able to destroy Russia completely:

Tick tock, Vlad. Hope your affairs are in order. You won’t be alive much longer.

Racist. Bigot. Islamophobe. Yes, half a million dead Iraqis and a wrecked country of Iraq will be just delighted to learn they are expendable "ancient history" to you. Tons of brown people dead on false evidence, oops, sorry, we meant well, whatever. What ICC? No, that's not for the cool kids.

It's funny you bring up "two decades". Yes, it's a gruesome anniversary...and two things that should be mentioned is a) US officials behind this criminal, ruinous war have suffered no consequences whatsoever, and b) the so-called mainstream media that applauded the invasion and employed hundreds of commentariat to explain why this war is a good thing has performed no self reflection whatsoever.

We have family in Iraq. The street sentiment in the country is pure, unadulterated hatred for America that treated Iraq as seagulls treat the shoreline: fly in, shit all over, fly away. It takes special talent to make them miss Saddam but congratulations, the US has gone where noone did.

Who is “we?” Do you have a mouse in your pocket??

Parts of Ukraine are not his to hand over. What he's saying is that he would not get involved and let the war play out on its own merits.

Ah yes, the Neville Chamberlain strategy. And then Montenegro. And then NATO disbanded. And then Poland. And on and on.

As if there aren't dozens of wars at any point of time on the planet in which the US doesn't get involved, or gets involved on the wrong side.

And how many of those wars involve an unprovoked invasion of a country on Western Europe's doorstep by a nuclear-armed nation that has spent its entire existence trying to destroy and destabilize the US, including interfering with our democratic election process?

Oh, just this one? I wonder why this one may be different...

Bolded the wrong parts for you, very helpfully.

Oh then please explain, Comrade Trollski, what legal justification Russia had to invade Ukraine?

What period of Russian history involved them not working to destabilize the US? (Hell, what period of Soviet Union history involved them not working to destabilize the US?!)

And here's the really fun one, because I have no idea what you're even trying to say with your bolding. I guess you're saying the US doesn't have a democratic election process? Can't wait to hear your explanation on this one. (Let me guess, "weRe A RePUbLic nOt a DemOCraCY!")

Did you know the US sent 13,000 troops into Russia to fight the communists during the Russian civil war? This was well before the Cold War started. I think the US may have started the provocation first.

Have no fear Comrade Trollski, although Russian soldiers are no longer getting paid they are getting lots of exposure.

Ancient history? We're still in Iraq you know? We also used Iraq as a staging ground to invade Syria, which we are also currently still invading. The pretext for both of these operations are comical. Then there is the whole Kosovo/Serbia situation where we justified invading Serbian territory to protect a minority that wanted to break off from a larger country.

Its really hard to get too upset about the Ukraine when worse is being done in our name currently.

Wow you tell so many lies. Combat operations in Iraq ended in December 2021. There are about 2,000 troop remaining that are not combat but training units. The US did not invade Syria. The US in Kosovo/Serbia was a mission to stop the war crimes. The US did not invade and annex Iraq, Syria or Kosovo/Serbia and did not target civilians.

The Russian in the Ukraine are committing war crimes- raping, death squads, forced relocation, looting, targeting civilians, children sex slaves, etc. I can see why that would not upset you.

We're totally not occupying Iraq, we're just leaving a few thousand troops around to make sure the government we put in power stays in power.

How did we get a military base in Syria without invading it? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Tanf_(U.S._military_base)

And now that any war crimes in Kosovo are even more ancient than 20 years ago, we can remove the NATO bases from Kosovo and return that land to Serbia right?

As I mentioned up-thread, there are only 2 possible outcomes of this war for Russia:

Russia either exists as a pariah nation, akin to North Korea and cut off from the rest of the world, or Russia collapses entirely.

The EU is now taking steps to ensure the former will be one reality for Russia.

- 300,000 armed troops will be permanently positioned on Russia’s border with the EU

- the EU is ramping up weapons production to fully arm those permanent troops on the border, and

- Turkey has agreed to Finland’s entry into NATO, meaning Finland’s long border with Russia will now be an armed border with NATO.

This is what Putin has “won” with his “special military operation.”

I just learned the president of Poland, President Andrzej Duda has publicly confirmed Poland is willing to transfer ALL of their MiG-29's to Ukraine.

Slovakia has done the same. That totals 40 new Mig-29 fighters to be soon transferred for the Ukrainians to use against Russia in the coming months.

It was also revealed some time ago, NATO had trained 2 experienced Ukrainian fighter pilots to fly and fight, using F-16 jets.

Today it turns out it was not 2 pilots. It is 10 pilots.

Russia: if you want to keep fighting in Ukraine, you are going to “find out.”

I would go home to Russia now, if I were in your shoes.

Where was the unprovoked invasion, comrade? I love how Republicans like to defend the indefensible. You used to be the party of neocons and hawks on the world stage. Sad really.

There is virtually no difference in the foreign policy positions across the aisle. Americans generally have a reliable hard-on for anything sold like a holy war between the good guys and the bad guys. The illegal, unjustified war in Iraq was cheered on by Democrats and Republicans alike, for instance, with no meaningful opposition. Same with Afghanistan. Same with Libya. Same with Syria.

Yaaaaaaaaawnnn . . .

Doesn’t matter. The Hague still awaits you, Vlad.
