Well actually the iraq and afghanistan wars were the "war on terror" after 9/11 and as we havnt had any recent major terror attacks on the west then i would argue that the war has been won. Obama said it would take 20 years.

@roncollins1046 There are political extremists everywhere including well spoken ones. And those extremists hate democracy and support their version of extremism the world over. Most are up front about it but some choose to hide or mask that agenda in long rhetoric . I see no criticism of the dictator only criticism of"westerners" which is strange coming from a supposed westerner. There is no "we" or "us". It seems you have chosen sides. Which,, when it comes down to it, is democracy and all the freedoms associated with it v imperial fascism. So i will guess your either nationalist or maybe you bend the other way. Anyways putin has been influencing ukraine for the last 20 odd years as he never recognised their 92 percent insependance vote in 1991. All the nato, nazi and donbas stuff was all to cover his true ambition which was/is to reunite ukraine, belorus and russia again into a form of his beloved USSR. Becoming a true superpower once again. Its imperial fascism. Hopefully you will return from whatever dark side you reside and oppose an ideology that history has taught us not to appease.

I dont hate the US. I will always remember my mum telling me about their "nice"soldiers as a kid during ww2 in plymouth uk just prior to them embarking to normandy. There is a monument in memory to them now in saltash passage. Many sacrificed their lives to make europe free again. Funny how millions of russians died fighting that same ideology in ww2 and now have adopted the same ideology. Well it would be funny if it wasnt so tragic.

@roncollins1046 There you go again with your rhetoric. Personally, the taking of sides in this particualr conflict is fundamental to whether i can actually respect you as a person . You know that match up i mentioned. A fascist state invades a democratic one and starts killing its civilians whilst flattening its cities, towns and villages. Some no doubt rural just like where you live. And you say that you side with that. then personally i wouldnt even be continuing with this conversation. I am still not sure now where you stand? But i will leave you now in peace. I have putin trolls to fight. Dont worry about black SUVs coming around as im not from the putin/dark side and you are entitled to your opinion just like i am to question it.

@tommackling Putin troll. Only one country here is having its civilians killed and cities flattened. And it has never been about the donbas. Its about a failed 3 day regime change and putins quest for a "greater russian world". He has never recognised ukraines 92 per cent vote for independance in 1991. All those donbas regions and crimea voted in favour back then. Then putins 20 year strategy came in with propaganda strewn tv and media influencing and dividing people. Putin state tv and pro russian media owning ukranian oligarchs helping to promote putin puppet yanukovych. Rigged elections and poisoning led to the orange revolution. Then when yanukovych was finally elected he changed the constitution to become more opppressive and his political opponent jailed on false charges. A favoured putin method. So another orange revolution this time called maidan. This time though hundreds were killed and thousands injured as he sent snipers in to shoot unarmed demonstrators. No way could he carry on after that bloodbath. So yanukovych fled and the ukrainian people elected a new government. Putin still carries on with his strategy but now under a more fascist regime. His aim is still the same. To reunite the "little russians" of ukraine, the belorussians and the "greater russians" into that "greater russian world" so becoming a true superpower once again similar to his once beloved USSR. Simply put its fascist imperialism.
