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".

Hahaha

Good one.

Thanks for playing..
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.
Repeatedly.

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

Yes, you have made your position as a troll who never explains anything or admits error when confronted has been quite clear under your many guises. Adding Russian dupe is new but considering it all, predictable.

Yeah. You back a war criminal who is barbaric and self delusional. You support a regime that does not care fo its own citizens by sending them to wage war on a sovereign nation based on hypocrisy and lies.

Do you get paid in rubles?

We have no business interfering in a border dispute between two dictators.
There is no threat to us.

Putin is an authoritarian fascist dictator.

You are flacking for a mad man who INVADED a sovereign nation. Once his army started losing bigly on the battlefield he targeted civilians with a campaign of carpet bombing and indiscriminate murder.

This is not a border dispute it is a crime against humanity.

Jimdick,

You have not defended your absurd position that a large-scale invasion is a border dispute.  Putin is disputing Ukraine's right to exist.  Border disputes don't assault the national capital at the outset. 

You have also not defended your position that Zelenski is a dictator. 

As Carl Sagan liked to say, extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence.

Jimdick,

Only countless times.
The fact that you ignore them is why you have no credibility.

Just because you keep saying the same lies over and over does not make them real.

The difference between repetition and explanation is beyond you. Or you just do not care. Either way it is why you are not worth discussing anything with. Again, you are a worthless troll.

Sure.

Making a position clear:
"I believe that a pound of feathers is heavier than a pound of gold."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean that a pound of gold is lighter than a pound of feathers."
"Don't just repeat your position, explain it."
"I believe that a pound of feathers weighs more than a pound of gold."

It is VERY clear, Ward, that you believe that the pound of feathers weighs more. Nothing could be clearer. But there is no support for your argument, nothing for somebody else to examine and be convinced by or even to successfully challenge in your statements.

"I believe that a pound of feathers is heavier than a pound of gold."
"What do you mean?"
"Feathers are measured in avoirdupois pounds while gold is measured in troy pounds. While a troy ounce is heavier than an avoirdupois ounce, there are only 12 troy ounces in a troy pound, but 16 avoirdupois ounces in an avoirdupois pound.

"So, a pound of feathers weighs more, but an ounce of gold weighs more."

"Oh, I get it. Thank you for explaining.

Anyone who has watched Servant of the People would have severe difficulty picturing Zelenskii as a dictator.   

Dictators don't usually hanker to be the butt of jokes. 

And they usually run for cover when wars start.  Z did just the opposite.
