Comments by "foil hat" (@foilhat1138) on "Putin 'desperately' trying to regain initiative with Kyiv strikes after Kursk losses | Leigh Turner" video.

@williamalexander9485 Yes that's why they annexed Crimea, they didn't want it. You really thought this through, I can tell.

@williamalexander9485 Still a far superior candidate to the convicted felon.

@williamalexander9485 Russia invades and annexes parts of a sovereign state; "Russia today with a debt to GDP ratio of 14% was never interested in going to war." Welcome to the world of smooth brain reasoning.

@lg2058 "In just two weeks time we could take control of Kyiv and do it easily." - Putin 2014

How come your parents were related?

@benjones3466 Yes this along with Russia's history of violating every agreement whenever it suites them, from the Budapest memorandum to the Minsk agreements and several more along the way.

@sebastianforbes1 According to photographic evidence Ukrainian vehicle losses are somewhere between 1/3 to 1/4 that of Russian losses. What does this have to do with what is being discussed?
3
@lg2058 This is a claim. "The retreat took place as part of the Istanbul agreements in 2022 to kickstart the negotiation process." You then say. "This was openly announced and acted upon. It’s a fact." Another claim. Something being baselessly asserted a year and a half after the fact, that contradicts previous rhetoric isn't evidence of anything.
3
@lg2058 That's not how the burden of proof works little buddy. You are the one making a claim, you are the one that needs to provide evidence that this was claimed 2.5 years ago when they withdrew.
3
@lg2058 "This was openly announced and acted upon. It’s a fact." No it most certainly was not. Russia's initial rhetoric was that Kyiv was a feint and they withdrew to focus on the Donbas. The peace treaty narrative wasn't mentioned until a year and a half after the fact when Putin brought it up in a press conference. Oops must have forgot it in his sock drawer.
3
@benjones3466 No, you see unending trench fighting with horrific losses was the plan all along.

@lg2058 Here is the first search result from Time, "If I wanted to, I could take Kiev in two weeks.”

@lg2058 I have direct evidence that you have no idea how to use a search engine.

@williamalexander9485 It's also easy to look up how he torpedoed the toughest border legislation in US history because he didn't want to give a win to his political rivals.

@williamalexander9485 Are you trying to demonstrate you have no idea how to use a search engine?

@williamalexander9485 Her voting and legislation record is very easy to look up. As is the other guys long list of crimes.

@lg2058 You think “This was is over NATO expansion” is a coherent sentence? I'm sorry yo can't come to terms with Putins statement. Obviously this war was to get McCain into the White House, or whatever.

@lg2058 Obviously you haven't read the OSCE reports, which isn't surprising. Here's a preview. It goes on and on like this. For the past four years, this Council has borne witness to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Four years into the fighting, Russia has failed to keep even the most basic of the agreements reached in Minsk. Russia has failed to respect the line of contact, leading incursions since 2014 that have claimed hundreds of square kilometers for its proxies in eastern Ukraine. Russia has failed to respect the ceasefire, making and breaking countless truces. Russia has failed to withdraw heavy weapons, consistently deploying – and firing – them in proscribed areas. And Russia has failed to uphold the mandate of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM), permitting – if not instructing – its forces to deny, detain, threaten, and even shoot at monitors, their vehicles, and their cameras and drones. Russia’s aggression has cost over 10,300 lives, wounded an estimated 25,000 more, and displaced up to two million people. The United States and over thirty other participating States have further warned that the fighting puts critical infrastructure like the Donetsk Filtration Station (DFS) in jeopardy, leaving the Donbas at heightened risk for an environmental catastrophe. We are deeply concerned that on May 14, this critical water facility once again came under fire on the same day a bullet passed dangerously close to the head of an SMM monitor. Russia started this conflict and continues to fuel it, so Moscow is ultimately to blame for the humanitarian crisis in the Donbas. However, it is the responsibility of both sides to ensure that the unarmed civilian employees of DFS – as well as the SMM monitors who facilitate their work – are protected. We call on Russia-led forces and Ukrainian Armed Forces to immediately work toward disengagement from the Donetsk Filtration Station and other critical civilian infrastructure sites. Mr. Chair, the Russian Federation continues to arm, train, lead, and fight alongside forces in eastern Ukraine. We remind the Permanent Council that Russia has never accounted for the presence of uniformed Russian soldiers, as reported by the SMM. Russia has never explained the presence of Russian weapon systems that are not, and have never been, a part of Ukraine’s arsenal. As reported by the SMM, these include the TOS-1 Buratino Multiple Launch Rocket System, the Zhytel R-330 jamming station, and the Orlan-10 drone. Nor has Russia ever acknowledged the tens of thousands of persons in military-style dress, whom the OSCE Border Observation Mission has seen cross into Russia-controlled parts of Ukraine. Russia has noted that OSCE observers did not witness members of its armed forces carrying weapons across the border in plain sight, yet Russian soldiers have been observed bearing weapons in the conflict zone. Last week Russia sent yet another so-called “aid convoy” across the border into eastern Ukraine, and continued to deny access to OSCE observers and Ukrainian customs officials to inspect it. If these are humanitarian shipments, as Russia claims, why are SMM monitors not allowed to inspect them? And why are they not coordinated through an international mechanism, as the Minsk agreements stipulate? It’s clear that Russia’s rhetoric is simply an attempt to distract from its lack of compliance with the Minsk agreements.

@lg2058 You are also having trouble coming to terms with Putin's nonsensical reasoning for the war. I don't blame you on that one.
1
@lg2058 Dude, try reading carefully instead of making more idiotic posts.
1
@lg2058 Go read your post buddy, try your best. I thought you were finished responding, don't you have to get to primary school?
1
@lg2058 This was is a great conversation. See you later little buddy.
1
@lg2058 You are the one who posted an incomprehensible comment buddy, the fact that you still don't realize it is beyond hilarious. And by salient points, you mean like when Putin himself said that the war was a US plot to get McCain elected? Let me guess what Putin says doesn't matter, only your own fan fiction does.
1
@lg2058 We are having a conversation about the 2008 Georgian invasion brainiac. But if you don't even have the mental capacity to follow along what's the point.
1
@williamalexander9485 Every deal presented by Russia had Ukraine acknowledging the occupied territory as Russian. Or do you mean when Deputy Kremlin Chief of Staff Dmitry Kozak in 2022 said that he had negotiated an agreement with Ukraine within a few days of the invasion. This settlement would have ended hostilities in exchange for guarantees that Ukraine would not join NATO. The agreement was however blocked by Putin, who "expanded his objectives to include annexing swathes of Ukrainian territory."
1
@lg2058 He said something incoherent? I doubt it. He's also not a member of the Russian government. Putin himself said Bush instigated the war to put McCain in office. Makes sense. Just like how Ukraine was because "in the year 860 Rurik crossed the sea..."
1
@lg2058 The reason for invasion could have been one of the hundreds of silly excuses Russia had. They were just intervening in Ukraine's civil war, which was taking place in Georgia. The US had sent a money printer to Georgia to undermine Russia's economy, or the tried and true bio labs.
1
@williamalexander9485 Russia was the cause of the shelling in the Donbas little buddy. They invaded in 2014, there would be no problems there if they hadn't. And their solution to the problem they caused, full scale invasion and level multiple cities in the Donbas. Smart.
1
@lg2058 Russia gained two new client states. Napoleon had plenty of client states little buddy, do you think he annexed all of Europe?
1
@lg2058 Did you even read my post? I also said Russia had a pile of silly excuses. Nato was turning the rain yellow, the US sent a money printer to Georgia to sabotage the Russian economy. The osce were spies and terrorists. Having two new client states is about as good as full annexation. Napoleon had lots of client states little buddy.

@lg2058 You are having trouble reading, yes I see that.

@lg2058 I can provide direct evidence that you are so brainless you can't even figure out how to use google. Here's the first result. From Time Magazine "If I wanted to, I could take Kiev in two weeks.” Reuters "If I want to, I can take Kiev in two weeks" You can't really think that years of ww1 style attrition was the plan all along, do you?

@lg2058 I have direct evidence that you are incapable of using the internet for some reason. How about instead of twaddling about on youtube you figure out how to use google. I'll help you out this one time, here's the first search result. From Time Magazine "If I wanted to, I could take Kiev in two weeks.”

@lg2058 I have direct evidence that you don't understand how to use a search engine. Here is the literal first result from time "If I wanted to, I could take Kiev in two weeks.”

@lg2058 Russia had all sorts of silly excused for that one. Including the OSCE monitors in South Ossetia had been spying for Georgia, and the OSCE had conducted attcks. That the US had supposedly delivered money printing machinery to Georgia to sabotage the financial system of Russia.
1
@lg2058 Also the OSCE in South Ossetia had been spying for Georgia, and they had conducted att@cks in Tskhinvali. That the US had delivered money printing machinery to Georgia; Georgia was allegedly going to circulate fake Russian banknotes for sabotaging the financial system of Russia. Russia really went off the deep end trying to justify that one.

@lg2058 Russia had all sorts of silly excused for that war. Including the tried and true bio labs, and that Georgia was the location of the Ukrainian civil war. OSCE monitors in South Ossetia had been spying for Georgia, and the OSCE had conducted attacks in Tskhinvali.

@lg2058 Russia had all sorts of silly excused for that war. Including the tried and true bio labs, and that Georgia was the location of the Ukrainian civil war. Along with OSCE monitors in South Ossetia had been spying for Georgia, and the OSCE had conducted terror attacks in Tskhinvali. That the US had delivered money printing machinery to Georgia; Georgia was allegedly going to circulate fake Russian banknotes for sabotaging the financial system of Russia. This is just the tip of the iceberg, Russia's reasoning for the Georgia invasion reads like deranged fan fiction.
1
@lg2058 That's not even the excuse Russia used little buddy. It was because Russia falsely accused Georgia of committing "gencide" and "aggression against South Ossetia." They had no shortage of hilarious excuses though. Putin claimed that the US staged the war to get the McCain elected. And that Nato was turning the rain yellow.

@lg2058 That's not the excuse Russia used little buddy. It was because Russia falsely accused Georgia of committing "gnocide" and "aggression against South Ossetia." They had no shortage of hilarious excuses though. Putin claimed that Bush staged the war in Georgia to get the John McCain into the White House. And that NATO was turning the rain yellow. And of course the tried and true 'bio labs." If you take Russian claims seriously I have a bridge you may be interested in.

@sebastianforbes1 "don't you know how to do an internet search ?" Yeah, that's where I learned Putin said he could take Ukraine in two weeks.
1
@sebastianforbes1 I'd already done the research genius, he was asking to have his hand held for a simple task. Understand?
1
@lg2058 Because anyone can play revisionist history. If the mythical treaty was the reason they withdrew why didn't they say that? Why wait over a year to bring it up?
1
@sebastianforbes1 Nobody is reporting Ukrainian losses, except the Russian MoD. They claim to have taken out Ukraine's air force around six times over, they aren't a reliable source.
1
@sebastianforbes1 Nobody is counting that except the Russian MoD. It may amaze you to learn they aren't considered a reliable source.

@lg2058 Good job addressing nothing I said.

@sebastianforbes1 I did quote it brain wave. I'll copy/paste my post, please try working on your reading comprehension. "In just two weeks time we could take control of Kyiv and do it easily." - Putin 2014
1
@lg2058 Even the Kremlin doesn't deny that he said it buddy, they say it was taken out of context. Though they don't explain what the context for "we could take Kyiv in two weeks." could possibly be. Though I'm sure you'll hand wave that away and pretend your own personal head cannon carries more weight than reputable news agencies and the Kremlin says on the topic.
1
@lg2058 You sure do love building strawmen. Nobody is denying that negotiations took place. What is being disputed is your baseless claim that Russia withdrew from Kyiv as some sort of gesture of goodwill. And no Arakhamia said the exact opposite of what you are trying to claim, that they didn't talk to Boris Johnson until after Ukraine had already decided against accepting Russia's terms. There is a whole Wikipedia article about the peace negotiations, please at least read that before pretending to be an expert.
1
@lg2058 They confirm it by saying it was taken out of context buddy. If they thought it didn't happen they would deny it. I have no idea why you don't check what the official Russian talking points are before you try to spin your own narrative.
1
@lg2058 Here's direct from the Wiki on the topic. Russia and Ukraine started peace negotiations the next day after the start of the Russian invasion, on 28 February 2022 in Belarus. Initially, Russia demanded Ukraine's effective capitulation. While the Russian blitzkrieg plan to take Kyiv stalled, a series of further meetings took place. By the end of March 2022, Russian and Ukrainian negotiators were successful in getting their positions closer together. After failing to blitz-takeover Kyiv and Kharkiv, taking heavy casualties and being forced to retreat off Kyiv oblast, Putin, as reported by the US magazine Foreign Affairs, was ready to put the status of Crimea up for discussion. The negotiating teams produced the Istanbul Communiqué, "Key Provisions of the Treaty on Ukraine's Security Guarantees" – a framework of a possible agreement. The treaty would declare Ukraine to be allowed to apply for EU membership and to be a neutral state, put a limit on the size of its military forces, cease NATO membership plans, forbid foreign military bases, and list Russia and Western countries, among which were the US and the UK, as guarantors, obliged to assist Ukraine in case of aggression against it. The status of Crimea would have to be negotiated after 10 to 15 years. Following the discovery of Russian atrocities in Bucha at the beginning of April 2022 and public anger in Ukraine at the atrocities, Zelenskyy called for Russia to be expelled from the United Nations Security Council, but intense work on the treaty continued. Disagreements still present included Ukraine's military forces' size, and Russia's newly raised demand that in the event of an attack, guarantors come to Ukraine's defence "on the basis of a decision agreed to by all guarantor states", thus giving Russia the possibility to veto a military response by the guarantors. Ukraine rejected the demand

@sebastianforbes1 I also provide that in this thread, please try reading. Or you could also try typing 'Putin says he can take Ukraine in two weeks' in a search engine instead of twaddling around in youtube comments.
1
@lg2058 Oh so now you believe the quote happened, that's good. What do you think the context for "We could take Kyiv in two weeks." could be? Or maybe you don't think it happened, its difficult to parse out what you are trying to say as you talk in circles. The point is that obviously Putin thought the invasion would be a cake walk, he wouldn't have proceeded as he did if he didn't think so. Or do you really believe that unending attrition warfare was the plan all along?
1
@lg2058 According to Russia that had nothing to do with their invasion. It was because Russia falsely accused Georgia of committing "genocide" and "aggression against South Ossetia." Though they had a wide range of make believe excuses including the tried and true "bio labs" and that the Ukrainian civil war had begun in South Ossetia because Ukrainian soldiers were allegedly fighting on both sides. Russia had no shortage of hilarious claims about Georgia. Putin claimed that Bush staged the war in Georgia to get the John McCain into the White House. And that NATO was turning the rain yellow. Take Russian claims seriously at your own peril.
1
@lg2058 According to Minsk Russia was supposed to withdraw support for the rebels, remove it's forces from the Donbas and return control of the occupied territories to Ukraine under the supervision of the OSCE. Russia did none of these, violating Minsk on day one.
1
@lg2058 Your false claims about Arakhamia have already been addressed, why am I not surprised you didn't read it. Turkish President Erdoğan stated that Ukraine was ready to agree to 4 out of Russia's 6 demands. He claimed Ukraine was prepared to renounce NATO membership and to make Russian Ukraine's second official language. According to Erdoğan Ukraine was not prepared to recognize the Russian occupation of Crimea or parts of Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts. The negotiating teams produced the Istanbul Communiqué, "Key Provisions of the Treaty on Ukraine's Security Guarantees" – a framework of a possible agreement. The treaty would declare Ukraine to be allowed to apply for EU membership and to be a neutral state, put a limit on the size of its military forces, cease NATO membership plans, forbid foreign military bases, and list Russia and Western countries, among which were the US and the UK, as guarantors, obliged to assist Ukraine in case of aggression against it.

Ukraine rejected the demand

@lg2058 Ukraine had implemented as much of Minsk as could reasonably be done while Russia still occupied its territory. The agreements require political measures on Ukraine’s side, including a special status for the region, an amnesty for those who committed crimes as part of the conflict, local elections, and some form of decentralization under the Ukrainian constitution. Ukraine has already passed legislation addressing every point. It has passed, and extended with renewals legislation on special status and amnesty, and already has legislation on the books governing local elections. It has passed constitutional amendments. The Minsk Agreements do not require Ukraine to grant autonomy to Donbas, or to become a federalized state. Ukraine had already complied with what is actually specified to the degree it can. What is lacking in Ukraine’s passage of these political measures is not the legislation, but implementation which Russia itself prevented by continuing to occupy the territory. I know you won't read any of this though and will just hand wave it away and respond with the same tired old debunked talking points you always do.
1
@lg2058 I've already refuted your misconceptions about Arakhamia above. Please try reading before posting more nonsense. Though you've already demonstrated you are unable to follow simple conversations so I don't expect much.
1
Do you really not understand what he said? He said that Russia felt emboldened 2.5 years ago to attack because of the anemic response to the 2014 attack.
1
@lg2058 Little buddy obviously you didn't read the part where the main sticking points in the negotiations weren't neutrality, Ukraine accepted that part in theory, it was disarmament and security guarantees, in which Russia wanted veto power over Ukraine's defense. So Russia wanted to make it impossible for Ukraine to defend itself in the future, gee I wonder why they didn't accept that.
1
@lg2058 Clearly you haven't read the OSCE reports you pretend to know. Here's a taste. Russia has failed to keep even the most basic of the agreements reached in Minsk. Russia has failed to respect the line of contact, leading incursions since 2014 that have claimed hundreds of square kilometers for its proxies in eastern Ukraine. Russia has failed to respect the ceasefire, making and breaking countless truces. Russia has failed to withdraw heavy weapons, consistently deploying – and firing – them in proscribed areas. And Russia has failed to uphold the mandate of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission (SMM), permitting – if not instructing – its forces to deny, detain, threaten, and even shoot at monitors, their vehicles, and their cameras and drones. Russia’s aggression has cost over 10,300 lives, wounded an estimated 25,000 more, and displaced up to two million people.

@lg2058 Here is a small part of the osce reports you claim matters. It goes on and on like this. Why are you pretending to know something about what you clearly know nothing? "This Council has borne witness to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Four years into the fighting, Russia has failed to keep even the most basic of the agreements reached in Minsk. Russia has failed to respect the line of contact, leading incursions since 2014 that have claimed hundreds of square kilometers for its proxies in eastern Ukraine. Russia has failed to respect the ceasefire, making and breaking countless truces. Russia has failed to withdraw heavy weapons, consistently deploying and firing them in proscribed areas. And Russia has failed to uphold the mandate of the OSCE Special Monitoring Mission."

@lg2058 Here's some of the OSCE reports you clearly haven't read but are pretending to be an expert on. "For the past four years, this Council has borne witness to Russia’s aggression against Ukraine. Four years into the fighting, Russia has failed to keep even the most basic of the agreements reached in Minsk."

According to Erdoğan Ukraine was not prepared to recognize the Russian occupation of Crimea or parts of Luhansk and Donetsk Oblasts. The fantasy peace agreement you've invented in your mind has never existed little buddy.

@lg2058 No amount of quote chimping is going to change reality bud. I've already read what you have to say, you spam the same comment over and over. While you clearly haven't read what I've said, or what anyone else on the topic has to say, you know, the relevant experts you pretend to know more than.

The anemic response in 2008. Are you really baffled that an expansionist empire wants to expand unless it is otherwise prevented from doing so?
1
@lg2058 You really do have reading comprehension issues. Go finish grade school and come back.
1
@lg2058 So you believe “This was is over Nato expansion” makes sense? Sure bud. Sorry you are having trouble coming to terms with the President of Russia's statement.

@lg2058 Here's some more highlights, the OSCE was spying, the US sent a money printing machine to ruin Russia's economy and of course tried and true bio-labs.
