  1. The Russian world cup won't be safe for westerners.

  2. It should never have been given to a third world dictatorship like Russia.

  3. Novocastrian Winter is a commie.

  4. Be sure to include that one of the suspects, the former deputy chief of Ukraine's security service, Volodymyr Satsyuk, fled to Russia after the poisoning and was later given citizenship along with two other suspects. And just like with the Litvinenko case, Moscow has refuse to extradite them.

  5. MrB1923 Would that be why pretty much the entire western world is now isolating Russia?

  6. Assad is Putin's puppet.

  7. Comrade Novocastrian Putin will fight to the last Syrian to keep his puppet in power in Damascus.

  8. Putin was a commie too.

  9. I guess it all depends on whether you think Ukraine should be allowed to be a western democracy, or another Belarus. Clearly Ukrainians picked the former. And are prepared to fight for it.

  10. Russia is intent on destroying Ukraine. Not the west. Russia has already annexed Ukrainian territory, and is waging a small war in the east of that country. It is Russians killing Ukrainians on Ukrainian soil. Not the west. We know this, because in their report on the shooting down of flight MH17, the JIT (Joint Investigation Team - made up of the Netherlands, Belgium, Ukraine, Australia, and Malaysia) found Russia guilty of supplying and operating the very same BUK missile that shot the plane down (since then, Russia has vetoed a UN tribunal to prosecute those responsible). Figures for Ukrainian refuges fleeing into Russia are given by the Russian government. The same Russian government that continues to lie about its actions in eastern Ukraine (and the same regime that attempted to assassinate Yushchenko). So like everything that comes out of the kremlin, those figures are worthless. Putin gave Ukraine a choice. Either the west. Or Moscow. Unfortunately for Putin, they chose the west. After all, who in their right mind would want to end up like Russia?.

  11. Before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, there were no NATO bases in the Baltic countries. None. The US was winding down in Europe. The fact is, those unfortunate enough to share a border with Russia want NATO membership. And Russia's aggression towards Ukraine, and before that Georgia, and before that Moldova prove the wisdom of NATO membership for countries like Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia. Since Russia's invasion of Ukraine, there are now NATO bases in the Baltics. Because their governments have requested them. Putin's own actions have strengthened NATO and isolated Russia. Ukraine is a sovereign country. It is not a buffer state. Like Russia, it can join any alliance it likes. It can join NATO or the EU depending on whether those organisations accept it as a member. Even Putin himself considered joining NATO. But did China invade Russia? Did Ukraine invade Russia? Take a look at Russia's isolation. It's closest allies are Belarus, Assad in Syria, and Iran. What does that tell you? Your 'analysis' that the US, EU, and Russia are all equally to blame is a copout. It says nothing about Ukraine. Or about what Ukrainians want. It simply plays it safe. I'm sure you will get good marks.

  12. Well, either you believe in the right of Ukrainians to decide their own fate. Or you don't. Of course nation states have political agendas. But by claiming the war in Ukraine its all about big power politics, you delegitimise the rights of Ukrainians to choose their own fate. And ignore the fact that there is only one county presently waging war against Ukraine. And that's Russia.

  13. Lol Novocastrian Winter still defending his KGB commie poster boy Putin.

  14. Comrade Novocastrian Winter As we know, Russia is simply making threats to westerners because they are standing up against his use of chemical weapons terror attacks on the UK.

  15. ''...Ukraine shot down MH17 by order of the Americans. '' Nope. The evidence, collected by the five nation JIT, shows Russia is guilty. Ask yourself why the regime in Moscow would veto a criminal investigation into it? And the fascists come from Moscow. How else would you describe a regime that assassinates its political opponents, carries out political terrorism in foreign countries (using weapons-grade chemical nerve agents), and annexes territory from its neighbours? That's the reason why Russia is so isolated.
