  1.  @alexanderpepkin4110  oh yes, I forgot. You not only have the second best army in the world, you are also the cleverest. That new subject patriotic military studies must be working wonders. Just don't mention Narva, Tannenburg and Kyiv to them.

  4. @@toreeliasson6145 hopelessly ill informed. The nato intervention in Libya was to prevent gadaafi creating a refugee crisis for Europe. Pootin is trying to create exactly that in ukraine. Duh!

  10.  @dalecrocker3213  that if ukraine were a member of nato, it would be protected by the US military, and like all the other former Russian satellites in Europe it would be safe from attack, unlike the ones who couldn't get in, who got invaded by russia.

  11. She also has very little idea of how big nato forces are.

  12.  @alkurik3128  is that the only argument you have? If so, you don't have one.

  13. If you lived in a country where the whole media had been suppressed and they ran five propaganda shows simultaneously all day with the same message, you would believe that message too, unless you had a phone, a VPN, and critical thinking skills. Unfortunately, your average Russian pensioner has none of those things, and what you see is the result.

  14.  @SunShine-ln3yn  it's strange how russia attacked so many small countries, but no big powers. Is it not troll?

  15. I spoke to an educated Russian and he told me that Russians believe the individual exists to serve the state, not the other way around. In this seemingly harmless difference grows great evil.

  17. For that you will need a modern army instead of the clown show in ukraine.

  18. We have to defend it. There is a worryingly antidemocratic feeling to the Tories these days. They are passing laws to restrict our freedoms, and nobody is calling them out for it.

  20.  @sassy6498  you know nothing about the freedom of the press in democratic societies. Putin closed down 209 independent media outlets. To compare them is ignorant.

  21.  @sassy6498  okay. She says russians are peace-loving, but every time putin starts a war his approval ratings increase. That's something, but peace-loving it isn't.

  23.  @dalecrocker3213  did she Dale? The smart russians I know, I live there, say putin is afraid of democracies emerging in eastern Europe because it threatens his power. As you may or may not know, he passed a law to stay in power till 2036,manipulates elections, and has destroyed all political opposition and civil society inside the country. How does that grab you? Would you like ukraine to have that for a future? No. Me neither.

  25.  @davidmccann9811  so you are saying that Russia agreed to invade ukraine so that we could have a proxy war with it, because as I remember, the USA was not encouraging Russia to do it.

  26.  @katinazis  every single point she made exactly corresponds to to the kremlin narrative because they closed every other narrative down. Do you really think the kremlin is the source of truth? If so, I feel genuinely sorry for you.

  32.  @katinazis  so why do all the countries in the former Warsaw pact (soviet satellite states) want to protect themselves from Russia? Could it be because they were recently either annexed, controlled or partitioned by the USSR? Or is that just too crazy to contemplate for you?

  42. There is nothing peaceful and loving about attacking the Ukranian citizenry because they can't win on the battlefield. It is spiteful and callous.

  43. That is the point. Putin knows he will die soon, but how to stop russia turning west, which he hates. By doing this. Something so awful that the west will turn its back on russia for 50 years.
