  1. Ukraine is scratching the soft underbelly of Russia, but Russia is not pleased?

  2.  @daddyandy9591  I fear you'll have to move when Crimea is returned to its rightful owner. Ukraine doesn't take kindly to traitors.

  3. In translation, you're saying that Putin doesn't mind smearing egg all over his face.

  4.  @daddyandy9591  So you're calling yourself a traitor as well? OK, if the shoe fits...

  5.  @daddyandy9591  You're right, you don't know where I live. It varies. Incidentally, my (part-time?) neighbours are a Russian-Ukrainian couple. The Russian husband would very much like to renounce his Russian nationality, but for that he'd have to travel to Russia and hire a lawyer. He's millitary age, so out of spite the authorities might press him into service while his case is being processed -- till it's no longer needed(!). I don't know if you're able to put two and two together, but that ought to explain why so many Ukrainians still have their (hated) Russian double nationality. Your figure of 5.3 million Ukrainian "refugees" in Russia, does that include all the abducted children for which the ICC is now seeking Putin's arrest in 124 countries?

  6. Conversely, it didn't end well for the Russian army marching on Kyiv. It had to turn tail and meekly pronounce 'mission accomplished'. Where have we heard that before, with similar results?

  7.  @boathemian7694  Tut-tut, your take on US military history is spotty. Recently, ISIS was defeated in Iraq, Libya and Syria. In Africa, the Lord's Resistance Army was neutralised. The anti-piracy operations off the Somalian coast can be considered a success. Going back further, the Kosovo War forced the Serbs to retreat, stopping the genocide there. The Gulf War was, of course, a smashing success. The Panama Invasion had a positive outcome, with its drug lord leader ending up behind bars. The Tanker War ended in a satisfactory manner, with Iran ceasing and desisting its attacks. Grenada got liberated and was spared the sad fate of Cuba and Venezuela. Pro Tip: if you actually study history, you can make informed comments on YouTube.

  8. Why not? Ireland is still part of the European project.
