Says the guy with zero grasp of NATO, geopolitics, Putin's vision for empire, or war crimes.  Or what a border fight is.  Or the Budapest memorandum.  Or what happened to the world wheat supply for agonizing months. 

Or what Munich taught us.

Only to those who don't know what it is.  Or what the signatories agreed to, and how Russia violated the agreement.

How about the food insecurity across Africa and the ME this summer, thanks to Russia's attacks on Odessa and other Black Sea blockages?  Is that a real thigh-slapper for ya?

Or the mass murders of civilian populations?  Devastation of civilian housing?  Cluster munitions?  Torture, mutilation, rape?  Do you need adult diapers when this stuff gets you giggling?

Oooh. Putin be bad!
It is amusing to watch you transform into a NeoCon.
But you yet have not made a convincing argument for the USA pouring billions of dollars it does not have to take a side in a battle over territories by two dictators.

If we were doing something like that, someone might make such an argument. Since it is only you felating yourself with your toothless mouth, just laughing at you is as usual more than a sufficient response.

Oooh, so that is what the Russian propaganda is saying now, Neville?

Nobody can ever make a convincing argument to you.

Doesn't matter what the facts are and as far as I can tell it never has mattered.

You have yet to make a convincing argument that Zelensky is a dictator.

You have yet to even try. You just claim he is, without evidence.

At least you admit Putin is one.



As previously stated, the simplest two reasons for taking Ukraine's side in this conflict are (a) keeping control of Ukraine's resources out of Putin's hands, since he has already shown a willingness to use his resources to try to control other countries' conduct and (b) if Putin is not stopped there, where will he be stopped?

Those won't change your mind. You probably won't even acknowledge them seriously.

The invasion of a sovereign country with internationally recognized border by a stronger, larger neighbor being a "battle over territories" looks the product of the same sort of mind that claims taking top secret government documents to you country club is a "storage issue".

Precisely the lack of a defense of your stupid statement I have come to expect from you.

On the contrary. I have made my position quite clear.

Making your position clear is, shockingly enough, not the same as defending your position.

That's quite clear.
