If you are going to dredge up WW2 and WW1, and claim that is relevant, then you need to address the holocaust-genocide of the hundreds of indian tribes, millions of red-men in North and South America and own up to the the institution of slavery in the Western hemisphere.

My generations and me, is not responsible for something that happened 100 years ago, and neither are today's Russians responsible for all the world's evil going back 1000 years, as you seem to believe.

Russian news is not blocked...I watch it all the time in fact Solovyov and Simonyan are my two favorite lunatics. Were Kharkiv and Kherson critical battles?

To be fair, you'd have to establish and prove Whom blew up what...much, if not all of the damage and deaths Outside the two Russian areas and biolabs were more than likely created by the Ukrainian Nazis; and if the Nazi's left the two new Russian Areas alone, Putin would have been gone a long time ago.

I read a few Intel pieces that stated a peace deal had already been made but the old world disorder creatures, the global delete, great unwashed and parasitical humanoids of the worlds Kakistocracy's stuck their excrement smelling fingers in the peace pie!

I see Soros as the linchpin, the one who would gladly bring down all, just for the fun of the game. Puting banned him, he is angry about that. Chile, Hungary and mroe. But Obama had him as a most frequent Oval Office visitor. Binen in tied to him, to get his UN ordered depopulation via migrants, whom he hoped whould bring new viruses to the immune deficient vaxed. Then Soros took over Biden policy, via Soros funded Gov. for Impact in DC. Meanwhile Soros and Biden control corruptUkraine, with Soros funding the idiot Zelinskyy into office. They are power hungry and determined to keep the Ukraine corrupt. Biden wants to bring in NATO and think he is tough.I do not blame Xi, not that I would want his CCP, but the man is smarter than Biden. Both Obama and Biden were terrible statemen, disrespectful to many, esp. Russia. Putin has to save face. I was hearing from a friend in Ukraind, until it got all totlaitarian over there. She would tell me how they at first like freedom from Russia, but how it all went bad, they were living on a shoestring, when once thye traveled Europe. She sent a photo of her modest well dept house. Ukraine corruption was not exactly Democracy. The UN and NATO seem to be machines of depopulation and military industrial compex thinlomg/ Of sp,epme dpes mpt get cpmtrp; pf tje IS soon, and ban Soros, we are in trouble. Teh man went on US TV, said he loved what he did for the Nai's, "Best years of my life," he said. He also said he saw people as "pieces on a geme board." Very disturbed way to justify his cruelty. He swore to destroy the US economy during Obama, but was his buddy!

And it seems, "The Set Up" has scared the wieners off the Swede's and Fin's so they would run, not walk, not Think but join Nato...dumies!...I am ashamed of the Swedes.

It it even looks like we go that far.
Then I hope that Putin takes out 100% of the electrical and water systems of Ukraine.
Because that's what I would do to that level of escalation.

Putin has offered to negotiate, but so far, we are the ones breaking our words.

If you look at a map, and know what Putin wants.
My view is give it to him. And not one inch more.
Then make him rebuild TWICE the area given. Meaning an equal part of Ukraine.

And we have "encouraged" countries to join NATO, to do what Joe said "Be a thorn in the side to Russia". Let's not be naive about NATO.

Which should be disbanded!

Everything we hear is a lie.
Have you heard the news early on?
Russian Generals were being slaughtered, and their soldiers were crying themselves to sleep.

Then why does Ukraine keep losing the critical battles? Why didn't Russia, on DAY ONE, take out 60% of all electrical output in Ukraine, and 80% of the water/waste processing?

Putin avoided civilian targets, especially outside these regions, UNTIL they bombed the bridge (again, with help from the USA, because clear shots of missiles).

Meanwhile, in America. Russian News is blocked. to ensure we only get the party line.

Believe me I do not support the current administration...Biden's border, energy and economic policies are ruining America. Again it was Yanukovych's decision that lead to the coup....that is undisputable. It is not necessary to send US troops...if we provided aircraft to establish air superiority Russia would be defeated in a year.

It’s not ancient history....it is Russia’s history the most aggressive state in the world. What have Indians and slavery got to do with anything?

The Soviets were supporting Vietnamese communists long before the Tonkin incident.

So it took Russia 10 years to stop the CIA seeding terrorist in Afghanistan...no Russia wanted to occupy Afghanistan.

You do know that membership in Nato is voluntary don’t you.

Ukraine had internationally recognized borders that Russia violated.

If Ukraine is being liberated why are they fighting so hard against the Russians.

Well, my post is simply that some of my beliefs are being challenged.
First, my own belief in my country doing the right thing. Now the largest Eco Terrorists EVER!

No, but Diane got caught calling for, effectively CAUSING the color revolution that followed! Viktor was Pro Russian, and the EU hated that.
Listen to Merkels recent comments, that Putin threw back at her.. They were KNOWINGLY negotiating in bad faith, giving Ukraine time to build up their military.

I assume you believe we should be sending Americans to protect their border, while ours is wide open.

Look the entire SYRIA BS was about getting a pipeline into europe to cripple Russia. It failed. Gee look. We are at it again, using Ukraine.

Zelensky was supported by Soros, Clintons, et al. This is all a setup.
They have the proof (and I have Ukrainian friends), that it was Ukraine Shelling their own people in those regions, claiming they were terrorists.
Since when do you SHELL neighborhoods when you suspect terrorists?

Oh, and they kept stepping it up, until Putin was forced to move in to protect those people.

NOW, I am NOT saying Putin is "Clean" on this. Other Ukranian friends, and Georgian friends tell me that Putin moved in there and started assigning Russian Passports along the border to those people who wanted them. He had done the same Georgia.

Nothing to respond to here.

So Victoria Nuland convinced Viktor Yanukovych to reject the EU-Ukraine agreement. That is what lead to the 2014 coup. Crimea is not a naval base...Sevastopol is a naval base. No one forced Finland and Sweden to apply for Nato membership...why do you think they are applying now?

"not sure when the last invasion of Russia worked out for the invader..." I believe that would be under Batu Khan and the Golden Horde in the 13th century and the "Mongol Empire" held it for a couple of centuries. I put Mongol Empire in quotes because it was likely more Chinese than Mongol. Genghis Khan, a Mongol leader, mainly conquered and united the Chinese provincial kingdoms and created much of what is China today. Therefore, IMHO, the main manpower and war material that eventually went west into Europe was Chinese. Is history about to repeat?

I don't suppose her name is Lindsay Wagner?

My understanding was that Ukraine had Control of Crimea, under agreement, that because Russia needed that Naval base, that if things fell apart, they could hold an election in Crimea, and they could decide. THAT happened.

Soon after, the USA began their games, including having Ukraine build a DAMN to cut off the fresh water supply into Ukraine.

And the 2014 stuff, it cuts both ways... Lookup Diane Nuland! Caught on a recorded line admitting that we caused the color revolution.

To consider Crimea "Invaded" is interesting. Again, it's a NAVAL Base for Russia.

I think if Russia gets Luhansk/Donetsk/Crimea. They are good. They have control.

But I also KNOW that we keep putting Missiles closer to their borders. As they are surrounded by NATO, and each new NATO country gets missiles aimed at Russia.

Putin is no saint
no one leading any nation can be

he loves Russia
easy to see that, he wants his nation to be a Great Power again

i wish our leaders (democrats, RINOs) loved the US 1/10 as much

Anything before 1950 is ancient history, unless you want to get into the continental genocide of the Indians and slavery and colonialism by America.

1960’s-70’s Assists North Vietnam invasion of South Vietnam -
US started this war with a false flag operation - Gulf of Tonkin incident.

1979-89 Afghanistan invaded -
CIA was seeding terrorists into Russia and inciting Caucasus revolutions like Chechnya

1992 Transnistria occupied - You left out Romania, Bulgaria,. Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, Hungary, Czech Republic, plus a dozen more, occupied by NATO.

2014 Luhansk occupied - Liberated declared Independence from illegal coup, an overthrow engineered by Victoria Nuland, Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, Pentagon and NATO.
2014 Donetsk occupied - Liberated Ditto above ^

In these territories, speaking Russian, the native language of 98% of the inhabitants was declared a crime by the US-installed coup government. The Mayor of Kharkov (Ukraine) was fined last week for the second time, for speaking Russian. Third offense is prison..

2014 Crimea invaded and incorporated into Russia - Russians were finally rejoined with Russia. Liberated
Crimea has been Russian since the 1700's.

2022 Ukraine invaded - Russia, after 16,000 casualties, finally responded to EIGHT YEARS of shelling on civilians in Lugansk and Donetsk by Kiev and NATO.

Why do you believe the media? You KNOW they are serial liars.

ok....

point one
1917-1922 Soviet union takes stuff
nope
did not exist until 1922
the Russian Civil War was on-going after Russia left WW1

and i am kinda sure Russian/Ukraine history goes on well before 1917, longer than the Unites States has existed

and need we mention the whole nazi/murder Jews thing??

Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin, and a lot of Russians, do not want anything to do with the US and their amoral, drug-and crime-ridden cancel culture.

Once Kiev/NATO has been kicked out of the ethnic-Russian areas of Ukraine, Russia will likely erect another "Iron Curtain," to keep the West OUT.

Specifically what is dishonest in my post?

You are only reading and copying from US media. Try RT for a change, an honest news outlet.

Putin has a PH D in Economics, is an honest man, sincerely wants to help Russia complete their recovery from Communism, and is rebuilding all the great Christian cathedrals throughout Russia. He has stated many times, Russian will be run on Christian principles.

When I was in Russia in 2008? or so, VVP fired all the Oblast (State) governors. I asked my Russian friend, "Isn't that, kind of...wrong?" She replied. "Well, they are all corrupt, so maybe, among the new appointees, there will be a few that are not corrupt."

Slow and small steps, forward...

simple
Ukraine support for NAZIs
NATO trying to surround Russia
(why do we still need NATO??, no WARSAW PACT that i can see)

agreed
right now, it is good for them to seem best buddies as our nation has gone insane

but in the long run, Russia knows china wants siberia and its resources

Nope. They replaced her elbow! She now has a hip replacement, knee replacement, and elbow replacement. She is also a cancer survivor and has no breasts or female reproductive organs. She's a BIONIC WOMAN.
