Certain people will keep drinking up whatever they see on tv news until the day they dieHow do you know this to be true?

It’s like when the news was trying to say hospitals here were overwhelmed with corona and the footage was from Italy. They’re just compulsive liarsBy trying to pass off old pics as though he's on the front lines? Lol. He's more hunkered down than Justin Trudeau hiding from truckers in bouncy castles.

alot of this is probably to beat down chinaChina is also propping up to Russian market by buying lots of their stocks
Hmm....
I hate him because the news has turned him into a folk hero which tells me all I have to know I’ve seen the same thing with Robert mueller, Tony fauci and several othersHe's in Kviv . His ass is on the line. The media has not shown him pulling babies from burning buildings but simply being where he needs to be leading the charge. what else did you need to know to overcome your i hate everyone politics?
you're answer seems to be I hate the guy and I'll fill in the blanks why later.
Wrong buddy John.alot of this is probably to beat down china
"Those who cannot be named trying to bring authoritarianism"I love this country. I have the wherewithal to go anywhere on this Earth and live comfortably.. I'm good right here, in spite of people who cannot be named trying to bring authoritarianism to the place I was blessed to be born in.
so now NATO is weakening the team?Wrong buddy John.
China wants to team up with Russia to take over the world.
Then after that happens they will get rid of Russia
I love unfettered speech."Those who cannot be named trying to bring authoritarianism"
I can name them: Democrats.
The nice thing about forums like this, is these people reveal themselves. The last two years showed them for what they are.
Carry on.
NATO is afraid to do anything right nowso now NATO is weakening the team?
i doubt it, theyve expanded to 17 more countries around russia after they said they wouldntNATO is afraid to do anything right now
Just watch my friendi doubt it, theyve expanded to 17 more countries around russia after they said they wouldnt
Did you see that on your Russian news site?i doubt it, theyve expanded to 17 more countries around russia after they said they wouldnt
ask cherylDid you see that on your Russian news site?
"The U.S.S.R. was never offered a formal guarantee on the limits of NATO expansion post-1990," John Lough, the research associate who authored the section, wrote. "Moscow merely distorts history to help preserve an anti-Western consensus at home."

Did The West Promise Moscow That NATO Would Not Expand? Well, It's Complicated.
Mikhail Gorbachev himself said the question of NATO's expansion didn't come up in discussions when he was Soviet leader. That hasn't stopped the assertion that NATO and the United States misled Moscow from becoming a central grievance for Russian President Vladimir Putin and the Kremlin.www.rferl.org
china is surrounded too btw. china and russia both nuclear, both extremely dangerous situationsJust watch my friend
Which countries would that be?ask cheryl

now back to the question at hand, it was a gentlemans agreement with UK, germany, france, USA. so it wasnt official. contrary to your article, russia allowed germany to be unified.
doesnt give you a right to encircle another country with weapons pointed at it, the way cuba pointed the weapons at you.
Rebels? You mean the legitimate, sovereign, independent republics that Ukraine refuses to recognize, so they are ok to bomb a bunch of farmers, but Russia can't invade Ukraine to protect its interests? I'm not saying either is necessarily ok, but I'm not being hypocritical and ignoring the aggressions of Ukraine while pretending that Russia has no justification for invading.The Ukrainians were fighting rebels in the Donbas.
What does that have to do with anything? Are you suggesting Ukraine wasn't bombing Donetsk and Luhansk because no refugees? I don't know that there weren't any, because it's irrelevent.Where was the stream of refugees into Russia?
You brought up the civilian thing. You're ok when the US does it. Enough with the crocodile tears.Again, you talked of the U.S. doing the same as the Russians indiscriminately shelling civilian neighborhoods.
You brought up refugees like it has any relevance. What statement did I make that I couldn't back up? How did I make it personal, by calling you a chicken hawk?Civilians died, they always do. But where was the mass displacement of refugees due to attacking the civilian population like in Ukraine? Guys like you make these statements then when you can't back them up you get personal.
If irrelevant. Muh refugees... lol.I'm asking you legitimate questions.
If you can't answer and try to shut the questioning down with personal attacks
how are you any different than those saying you support Putin if you don't go along with everything they're saying?
One of the oldest sayings about war is the first casualty of war is the truth. Obviously the Ukrainians were trying to rally the troops and international support with propaganda. What someone here might not understand is they're used to doing that. Propaganda is normal there. What they might not understand is people in the West are turned off by the manipulation. All kinds of factors to consider. Everything isn't the same cookie cutter pattern around the world and our interpretation of events may be different than their perception.

The following statementWhat statement did I make that I couldn't back up?

Again, you can't point to any huge refugee exodus from countries the U.S. has been at war at. So what, you say. Uh-huh.Rebels? You mean the legitimate, sovereign, independent republics that Ukraine refuses to recognize, so they are ok to bomb a bunch of farmers, but Russia can't invade Ukraine to protect its interests? I'm not saying either is necessarily ok, but I'm not being hypocritical and ignoring the aggressions of Ukraine while pretending that Russia has no justification for invading.

What personal attack? Calling you a chicken hawk?
I don't care if people demonstrate their ignorance by calling me a Putin supporter. If you're not a chicken hawk, tell me how. Don't you like it when the US murders civilians in Muslim countries under false pretenses? Or do I have you mixed up with someone else? It gets hard to keep track when I have half a dozen people standing in line to demonstrate how little they understand what they are talking about. It gets a bit much always being right and trying to keep track of all the ways the individual members of my fan club are wrong.
Uh huh, and...? The issue isn't the propaganda, it's the people who keep trusting the sources that continue to lie to them, and get caught lying all the time. It's like a three year old who keeps touching a hot stove and can't figure out why they keep getting burnt.
Most of the pro-Ukraine people that I interact with seem to form their views of the situation based on two pieces of information, "Ukraine good" and "Putin bad". It's the same as all the anti-trumpers who only understand "Orange Man bad". The pro-trumpers lived through this already, and they can't see they are falling for the same tactics. It's maddening. We've been living through an even more concerted effort over the last two years with the official covid misinformation campaign. How anyone can trust anything said by the mefia and the establishment is beyond me.
if I’m so misinformed why won’t you people give me some reading material. Oh wait you pull this non sense out of your ass or it is written in broken English translated from Russian.I brought it up because it's relevant. You only want to look at two factors, both being incorrect, to inform your opinion. That's cool. By all means, let your limitations make you feel bold enough to demonstrate your lack of understanding.
I guess the DOD was funding the labs for humanitarian purposes, and they scrubbed their existence from the US embassy's website because everything was on the up and up. And murdering over 1000 soldiers with experiments was a justifiable oopsie in the pursuit of bioweapons, er, I mean "science". It's ok that you're a misinformed chicken hawk, embrace it.
