Meanwhile what @lololulu19 said was accurate too:

Uh... Russia is not and cannot afford to lose that war.

....as they've made clear for decades.

If necessary, they will nuke Ukraine. They are already training for that. If Ukraine had nukes (they had them, but gave them up because their government was, and still is, so unstable that they could not trust themselves with nukes) they also would use them to avoid defeat.

Which refers to POST-Soviet situation, 1990s & on to 2000s.

"Budapest Memorandum" - IYKYK

or - if you don't know - if you refuse to know, if you insist on stay ignorant - then you're @jaroonn

By the way, Chernobyl is in Kiev in Ukraine. That was Ukraine's incompetent gift to Europe. The US is sending Ukraine $60 billion, and Ukraine is asking for 150,000 NATO troops. If they get them before Trump is there to rescue the situation from senile Joe, you will have WW3.

What part of that is outdated? Only this: USA "aid" is well over $100 billion by now.

Like this:

And this:

I don't watch Russian TV.

I guess I'm not as pro-Putin as you are

Your life purpose is to make excuses for liberals.

Nope. When I think they are wrong, I say so. I said I thought US policy in 2014 was wrong. And it was US policy, not just the Democrats. It was also the policy of every country in Europe liberal or conservative. It's just very telling that while Russian TV praises MTG and Trump, you deflect to Obama and ancient history. It's ok; you can't help it

Your life purpose is to make excuses for liberals.

Liberals have a proven track record of being pro-Putin while screeching about Trump.

So, if you know someone is a child raper, you'd let them be with kids without supervision. When they rape a child, you'd be "It's not my fault that I let a known child raper be alone with kids and he raped them".

Who was filling his coffers so he could afford to run amuck?

It was Obama/Biden's fault that he was allowed to take Crimea, invade Georgia, etc with impunity. Of course, the EU was also responsible.

No.

Putin made the decision, and I think we now know that sanctions are not going to deter him. At the end of the day, no matter what happened before; he made the decision.

Obama/Biden let Russia run amuck. Or have you forgotten?

Biden/Kamala removed all of Trump's sanctions on Russia. Or have you forgotten?

Chernobyl is in Kiev. Kiev is in Ukraine. The fact that you recognize that Ukraine was part of the USSR, and you equate
the USSR with Russia is admitting that Ukraine is part of Russia - which is what the war is about.

And so was Armenia and the Baltics. And Ireland was once part of the UK. What's your point? What's next? Moldova? Are you saying that Russia has a "right" to restore its empire? The Ukrainians don't have any say in the matter? You share Putin's view of the world? Does France have a right to Algeria? Does Austria have a right to restore it's empire?

Think before you type and embarrass yourself.

btw - even The Economist, neolib rag that ought to have its propaganda in line........... even they call Ukraine no better than "hybrid regime"

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Economist_Democracy_Index

It's been known for decades that Russia will go nuclear to stop it.

No one can say "But what about democracy?" - since Ukraine isn't democracy.

Zelensky Regime

• censors jails or kills opposition
• censors jails or kills journalists
• cancels elections
• harbors battalions of literal Hitler-worshippers in military, hugs them in public

Putin & Biden Regimes do first two, but merely rig elections - making Zelensky worst of the 3.

Zelensky cancels elections because he'd lose.

Ukraine people don't volunteer for this war. Instead, some form form brutal conscription gangs to kidnap others & make them "volunteer".

Even @jaroonn Churchill for all his passion on this topic & living nearby (he says), won't volunteer.

Likewise, if China invades Taiwan before Trump takes over, you will also have WW3.

btw - all 3 are libs - as I said above, no one's perfect - I look for accuracy - on this topic, these 3 got it.

Youtube Video

People who want war to go on & kill another 400,000 for nothing - or even widen, you know, "Kill Russia" types - are money-launderers & war-mongers.

Bloodthirsty. Can't get enough blood.

Peace was largely agreed, April 2022, between Zelensky & Putin - on fair terms - Russia retreats back to Crimea / 2021 borders, Ukraine stays truly out of NATO - but UK/USA vetoed it. Insisted on war.

@jaroonn retard

PS. headline is, Russia CAN...... not MUST.... only CAN... which means.... either you strengthened it for your headline here..... or......CNN saw it was retarded & changed it on you later.

Either way is same for you: Retard because you think CNN real & not just CIA cutout.

PPS. No one's perfect but for this question, Prof. Mearsheimer has been right - all along.

PPPS. NYT is no more real than CNN............ I check it only to see -what USA Regime will admit to-.

& NYT admits to Russia advance: https://www.nytimes.com/article/russia-ukraine-kharkiv.html

NYT-CIA might want to exaggerate Russia's advance rn - for scare factor - ie. get more money approved, "Follow the money" -

also - to prepare escalation ie. Nuclear WW3

altho for you @jaroonn - being bloodthirsty & pro-war - hope of WW3 doubtless wets your vagina
