Ukraine, backed by hundreds of billions from the West can't even push Russia back from the Donbas.
So how will it be done? What further escalations?

There will most certainly be insurgency...but Russia will win on the conventional side. Its just reality...as much as no one wants it to be true. They will overthrow the puppet government we installed as well I suspect...
Crimea has been a done deal for years now. Done.
When you can't even accept the fact a coup took place,
You are just a mouthpiece for the same Govts that lied about WMDs in Iraq.

Not trying to push him back. Do you get that yet? lol
Do you also know they been playing WWI with drones on top. Could you imagine if the US actually entered the war, maybe then it would be nukes since this Ukraine war would be over in a very short time. It's like Ukraine is fighting with their feet tied together and one hand behind their back. The US would be like an MMA fighter looking at a teenager in the ring.
Yeah, they got nukes, but until that MMA fighter actually steps in the ring they are not flying because Putin would be killed, and we all know he doesn't want that.

You can't except that an attempt at controlling a free democratic country was being tried by Putin, and Yanukovych was Mad Vlads little puppet.

Thats what people usually say when they can't defend their position with actual facts and evidence....
voted for some form of independent devolution agreed.
t's a fact that our Govt lied about WMDs in Iraq and are responsible for the deaths of over 1 million people.
You know that as well as I do.
Yet here you are believing literally everything they say once again and dismissing what Putin and Russia says as Russian propaganda.
The fact remains that the West actively supported the overthrow of the Ukranian Govt and it directly led to war, almost immediately as Russia took Crimea.

That happend it just wasn't respected by the Ukrainian government.
So what would you do if, let's say, Alberta wanted to sperate from canada, and join the USA. They had a successful vote, but canada wouldn't respect that and stories of US citizens being harassed in that region would start spreading...
What governement would sit by idly? Answer none
If you take western propaganda at facevalue to justify their "policing" actions, you should give all the other liars the same benefit of doubt... Unless of course you think your side never lies and the other always lie, then I'm sorry your opinion is absolutely worthless as it's obviously biased by your respective propaganda campaign...

The evidence of Yanukovych being a puppet and allowing the killing of 70 people during mass demonstrations against his support of Russia was all just a lie was it? Yanukovych fled to Russia with his pockets full of money, how much more guilty do you want before you'll stop supporting a 'killer' invading a free country and seizing land?

The people of Ukraine wanted closer ties to the west. That was well known at the time and as for the war. Putin invaded, there's no ifs, ands or buts about it.
It led to war because Putin lost his puppets in the Ukrainian government.

Again, you are just shilling.
For sure the Ukranian Govt resorted to violence to try to put down a violent coup attempt.
The coup was successful - you missed the part where the newly installed govt also killed people in the counter coup.
The Ukranian people are split - not a big singular block of people who wanted Yanukovych out.
All that leaves the same position - a MINORITY of Ukrainian people resorted to violence to overthrow the sitting govt with the support of the West.
Almost immediately after the conflict started and escalated to todays position.
In all likelihood if the West had not supported a violent coup, Crimea would still be part of Ukraine now and there would be no war - and hundreds of thousands of lives would not have been lost.
So what would you do if, let's say, Alberta wanted to sperate from canada, and join the USA.

There's a simple answer.
Canada wouldn't then invade Alberta and the USA and kill indiscriminately, unlike mad vlad who invaded Ukraine and killed and tortured inoccent civillians.
You just can't compare apples with oranges.
We're not perfect here in the west but Russia is on the next level with it's state controled propaganda factories and state run media, gulags for civillian protesters and state sponsered hotel window flying lessons for anyone else...
Again, you are just shilling.

No country is on the level of the US State controlled propaganda.
UK is not far behind.

So Russia and China with its only state run and controlled media is free to post, broadcast, and print about anything??? Thanks for that lesson!!

Bannable and against the T&Cs to call fellow members shills!!
Also shows your argument is empty if your only come back is to claim and reee "SHILL" Very weak.

It's called democracy and the majority wins, maybe you've heard of it?? Yanukovych pulled out of an agreement with the EU which the majority of the Ukrainian people wanted which caused the demonstrations and following deaths. After the Ukrainian parliament voted to impeach Yanukovych he fleed to Russia with $70 billion in embezzeled money. That really shows his inoccence?!?!?!

Lol... pot meets kettle...
It's just not wise to mess with superpowers. do you think every action by the UN was welcomed by the brics nations? No...
are they stupid enough to mess with superpowers if the UN decided to go forth with military aggression? No
Why are we so stupid? Do we really think this would profit us in any way or form? Why is this our problem, appart from thinking we have to solve every problem for everyone, which is just plain stupid and not the actual aim of the UN.
There is only a financial interest and it's not worth the risk, well unless you are part of the few that profit financially.
