  1.  @heartofsteel7821  That's rich considering Putin wants to resurrect the Russian Empire. Putler ticks all the boxes Fascism-wise, too.

  2. Your imperialists are, sadly, in Russia. In case you haven't noticed, Putin publicly hankers for the glory days of the Russian Empire, and sternly critizes Lenin and the Bolsheviks for allowing Ukraine to become a Soviet republic in itself, separate from Russia. He lauds Stalin for trying to bring the Ukrainians back to heel. Indeed, the imperialism is strong with this one, this Putin fella.

  3.  @nomordarlin  OK, Mr. Lavrov. That'll do.

  4.  @legendunited152  First things first. You need to remind us of an agreement that restricted NATO's eastward expansion. When was it signed, by whom and what did it say? Please be specific.

  5.  @alexanderyoung6934  Russia is in the spotlight all right, but how are they going to "come out of this more powerful"? Russia supposedly invaded Ukraine to thwart the latter's plans to join NATO. Now Ukraine is for sure going to join NATO, the question is only when. And in the mean time, Finland already did join and Sweden is practically in as well. At the same time, Russia's anti-NATO, the CSTO, effectively became defunct when Russia ignored Armenia's pleas for military support as per its Article 4. Likewise, Kazakhstan is drifting away from Russia's sphere of influence. Futhermore, Russia, which is often described as a gas station that masquerades as a country, forever alienated its best customers, sending its oil and gas revenues into a steep downward spiral. Russia's arms exports, too, have plummeted. Russia can't deliver and who'd want jack-in-the-box tanks anyway? So, pray tell, how is Russia going to "come out of this more powerful"?

  6.  @lozah9036  You could start by googling Putin's article ”On the Historical Unity of Russians and Ukrainians“. So, Putin thinks Russians and Ukrainians are one people, and then he goes and invades Ukraine. What else are we to suspect than empire-building?
