February 28, 20223 yr 8 minutes ago, Abracadabra said: Did NATO bomb Yugoslavia? Yes. Did NATO have UN authorization? No. Was NATO acting on behalf of one of it's members? No. My position is that NATO has repeatedly acted outside of it's intended purpose. The Warsaw Pact no longer exists and NATO no longer serves the role of countering that which is gone.

February 28, 20223 yr Just now, Joe Shades 73 said: Let’s say you are right. Ok but that does not make what Russia is doing right. I don't know what else they could do, at this point. The U.S. has refused to negotiate on a new security arrangement that takes into account Russia's concerns. Civilians were and are being bombed by real life Not-zzz on their border. For eight years Russia has been asking for negotiations. Time is up.

Oh that’s right, because Putin can’t stand the fact that Ukraine sees itself as a European, democratic country.

They want buffer zones.

Just foul to target them There are so many videos online of evidence for war crimes This was actually a Ukranian vehicle. It was part of a larger skirmish in Kyiv where they were after a truck full of Russian operatives. So yeah, it wasn’t a Russian tank. Nor was it actually a tank. 2 hours ago, jsdarkstar said: I'm sure AWACS has been there since day 1 but this is interesting. AWACS has not been there since day one. This is a new development.

February 28, 20223 yr 1 minute ago, Gannan said: F yeah we did! As far as I remember NATO never did anything in Syria. they specifically were criticized in some circles for not intervening. Turkey is a NATO member, so if Syria spilled over there they might've had a rationale, but certainly no "invasions" Libya was not a "NATO invasion". It was a UN no-fly-zone order that was being enforced by too many states, all of whom were in NATO and were running into command structure issues. They agreed to hand over coordination and control to NATO on the condition that no ground strikes would be involved. NATO never invaded Libya, they enforced the embargo and no-fly-zone. (All this I had to look up because frankly the details were lost to me.) Kosovo was a humanitarian intervention due to war criminal Milosevic's actions against Albanians in Kosovo. I don't know what sort of alternative history the resident Russian stooge (specifically Abra, as Russian stooge alone may be ambiguous) is following, but NATO has a pretty restrained history when it comes to military intervention and they have never threatened Russia with an invasion. And as a rule it does not stage military troops at Russia's border or escalate tensions. Ukraine was and is a sovereign nation. Putin tries to argue, wrongly, that Ukraine has no history of its own, which is laughable considering Ukraine's history stretches further back than Russia's and early Russia was largely a derivative nation of Ukraine. The nations diverged, developing their own languages and cultures that, while they share similarities given they coexisted in regions that readily exchanged trade and customs, are decidedly distinct. Putin's revisionist history is nonsense.
March 1, 20223 yr This should have been shared directly with Ukrainian intelligence, who may have already know about it and now Russians have been tipped off (though they should've known), but if this is how the Russian army was communicating and coordinating ... Jesus this is not a top military.

March 1, 20223 yr 3 hours ago, Abracadabra said: Now we get to the heart of the matter. Regime change has been the goal of the West ever since Putin put a stop to the rape of his country. They hate this guy with a passion and this entire Ukraine situation was engineered to get to this point- sanctions so unprecedented and harsh that Russia undergoes a color revolution. We'll see how it pans out. The track record for sanctions leading to a change in governments is spotty, at best. It didn't work in Iran, for example. Where has it worked? As for the future cost to Russia, once you play this card, you lose the card. They can't sanction Russia in the same way again. Russia will be essentially separated from the Western financial system. What is the EU going to do next, cut themselves off of Russian exports? In the meantime, Russia get about 700mil from it's exports per day. As long as they have that cash coming in, their budgets will be able to weather the storm. Have you seen the stocks for China's CIPS today? 2 hours ago, Abracadabra said: I don't know what else they could do, at this point.

Also Abracadabra: "Russia engineered this war because notzzz!" I legit can't stop laughing. These posts were made within an hour of each other.

Together these five investors own about $7.4bn of Russian bonds.
