Which is why my comments are true...the US is not sending offensive weapons to Ukraine.
Not really, it just shows you guys aren't sending them anything advance that could give them an advantage over the rebels, but just the "basic" stuff.
And yet you don't see through Russia's BS. It's the same story the US has been spouting for decades "We have to invade Iraq because WMDs", "We have to invade Afghanistan because there's terrorists who hate American and want to destroy it".
"We have to Invade Ukraine because they want to join NATO and destroy us."
But see, this actually makes a lot of sense to me. Because, how else could you explain the reason behind the NATO expansion towards Russia after the dissolution of the warsaw pact? For what purpose?
If you think what could be done by a anti-missile system set up in Ukraine, you would see it makes sense why Russia can't allow it.
Probably the part where you said the U.S. needs to stay out of Ukraine, while in the same breath talking about how Russian can't/won't allow Ukraine to do something. How you can't see telling one country to butt out and not another country the same as being a double standard is, frankly, shocking.
But look, you are right. But the thing is, we dont live in that kind of world. We live in a world where international laws dont apply to superpowers and they can do whatever they want. But i explained it too many times in this thread alone why's it not shocking, but "justified".
Anyways, i think i've said everything that i needed to say. Anything else that i might say would just be repeating myself which i dislike.

How about America keeping its nose out and not making a bad situation worse?
This is an across the board sentiment...
& should be drilled into the minds of the War Machine.
Vietnam should be a lesson to the USA at what happens when you get involved in foreign civil wars.
If the U.S. hadn't intervened in Korea everyone on that small peninsula would be worshiping Dear Leader Kimmy.

This is much more than just a civil war, because had it just been the separatists against Ukraine without Russia backing them how long would they have lasted.

Of course, we've never have "Gangnam Style" either. ...Tough call.

Pretty depressing. I enjoy some K-Pop, so not having that would be sad. Even if I can't understand what they're saying.

How depressing would that be?
Didn't even mention Russia...
Please don't mention me with bulls# reversals...
If you have a point, make one...
But don't drag me into a ludicrous debate with a ludicrous accusation.
And yet your on a thread discussing Russia...what was I thinking.
Then don't post bulls# and I won't.
Pretty sure I made my point.
You didn't have to reply back, and I wasn't trying to drag you into anything as I was pointing out I see where you stand. So please show me where I accused you of anything, because asking a question is far from accusing.
As much as this idiot is beating the wardrums, I don't think he's implying killing Russians that aren't involved in the Ukraine conflict.

Do we have to go trough this every time?
Russia interfered because their safety would be put at risk if NATO set up bases that close to their country. As i've said so many times before, Russia cannot allow for Ukraine to join NATO and have their bases that close. Is that really so hard to understand?

Move along.
Don't talk for me.
I'm in a thread discussing a United States Military adviser saying people should kill Russians...
Spurious lies.
& another reversal.
No, you tried to reverse my point and dictate what I was implying.
I did have to reply back to advise you not to mention me with bulls# so it doesn't occur in the future..
Move along.
Don't talk for me.
I can't stand people putting words in my mouth.
Maybe read the exchange carefully.
