  1.  @AbdullahKhan-dc3vi  Putin: “Speaking of security guarantees … our actions will not depend upon the negotiations, they will depend on the unconditional compliance with Russian security demands”. The main articles of Russian draft proposed agreement demand included eight articles with the following points: Article 1: the parties should not strengthen their security at the expense of Russia’s security; Article 2: the parties will use multilateral consultations and the NATO-Russia Council to address points of conflict; Article 3: the parties reaffirm that they do not consider each other as adversaries and maintain a dialogue; Article 4: the parties shall not deploy military forces and weaponry on the territory of any of the other states in Europe in addition to any forces that were deployed as of May 27, 1997; Article 5: the parties shall not deploy land-based intermediate- and short-range missiles adjacent to the other parties; Article 6: all member States of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization commit themselves to refrain from any further enlargement of NATO, including the accession of Ukraine as well as other States; Article 7: the parties that are member States of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization shall not conduct any military activity on the territory of Ukraine as well as other States in the Eastern Europe, in the South Caucasus and in Central Asia; and Article 8: the agreement shall not be interpreted as affecting the primary responsibility of the Security Council of the United Nations for maintaining international peace and security. ---- Fact: many eastern European countries (from the Three Seas Initiative) have major PTSD issues against Russia. Romania's government has condemned Putin's demand to remove Romania's freedom of association. Finland's government has condemned Putin's demand to remove Finland's freedom of association. Estonia's government has condemned Putin's demand to remove Estonia's freedom of association. Latvia's government has condemned Putin's demand to remove Latvia's freedom of association. Lithuania's government has condemned Putin's demand to remove Lithuania's freedom of association. Poland's government has condemned Putin's demand to remove Poland's freedom of association. Bulgaria's government has condemned Putin's demand to remove Bulgaria's freedom of association. Sweden's government has condemned Putin's demand to remove Sweden's freedom of association. Against Russian demands, Swedish Foreign Minister Ann Linde: "The Swedish security policy is determined by Sweden. Russia has nothing to do with our independent decisions”. There's nothing noble about territorial grabbing from another country like an "old school" European imperialist.

  2.  @seventhuser904  That's a false equivalence. Unlike Russia, the US did NOT assimilate Iraq, Syria, Libya, Afghanistan, and Yugoslavia into US federal structure. >Yugoslavia 9 February 1994: At UN request, NATO agreed to authorise air strikes, declared 20 km total exclusion zone around Sarajevo and required Bosnian Serbs to withdraw heavy weapons from zone or place them under UN control within 10 days; also called on Bosnian Government to place heavy weapons in Sarajevo under UN control. Agreement between 'RS' and Bosnian Government to a ceasefire in Sarajevo, negotiated by Lieutenant-General Sir Michael Rose, then Commander of UN forces in Bosnia. UN Security Council through UNSCR 836 of 4 June 1994 authorizes the use of air power to defend the safe areas created by UN Security Council resolution 824 of 6 May 1993. Paragraph 10 of UNSCR 836 stipulates: "...Member States, acting nationally or through regional organisations or arrangements, may take, under the authority of the Security Council and subject to close coordination with the Secretary-General and UNPROFOR, all necessary measures, through the use of air power, in and around the safe areas in the Republic of Bosnia and Herzegovina, to support UNPROFOR in the performance of its mandate..." >Libya NATO STOPPED the bloody civil war in Libya. Putin STARTED the bloody war in Ukraine. On 16 August 2003, Libya formally admitted responsibility for Pan Am Flight 103 (Lockabie bombing) in a letter presented to the president of the United Nations Security Council. "On 10 March 2011, France was the first country in the world to recognise the National Transitional Council as the legitimate government of Libya". United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 was adopted by the United Nations Security Council on 17 March 2011 in response to the First Libyan Civil War. The Security Council resolution was proposed by France, Lebanon, and the United Kingdom. Muammar Gaddafi played stupid games and win stupid prizes. The US supported France(EU)'s and UK(EU)'s, and Lebanon's United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973. NATO wasn't used until United Nations Security Council Resolution 1973 since it was vetoed by Turkey. If, however, you are referring to the NATO intervention in Libya, that was NATO agreeing to enforce a United Nations Security Council Resolution. It was never intended as a permanent expansion of the Alliance to embrace Libya nor to establish a NATO base in the country.

  12.  @ozziecoops  Scott Ritter is an incompetent investigator who chicken out on investigating western businesses that profited from Iraqi WMDs. Date: March 2017 Kurdistan’s Interior Minister said on Tuesday the Regional Government since its formation had demanded from the federal government to pay compensation to the families of Kurdish victims who suffered genocide, killing, and displacement from the former Iraqi regime. Rebar Ahmed stressed during the Parliament session that in 2014 “we decided to announce Halabja as a governorate,… but perhaps the big problem facing Halabja is that Iraq is not yet ready to recognize it as a governorate. Therefore, the federal government did not allocate a financial budget for it.” Ahmed continued that when the first Kurdish delegation went to Baghdad, it delivered the Prime Minister a request to compensate the victims of the people of Kurdistan with 380 billion dollars for the crimes committed by Saddam Hussein's regime in Halabja, Anfal and to Barzanis, Faili Kurds, and all victims of Baath crimes. The Halabja chemical attack, also known as the Halabja Massacre or Bloody Friday was a massacre of Kurdish people that took place on 16 March 1988, during the closing days of the Iran–Iraq War in the Kurdish city of Halabja in Iraqi Kurdistan. The attack was part of the Al-Anfal Campaign in Kurdistan, as well as part of the Iraqi Army's attempt to repel the Iranian Operation Zafar 7. It took place 48 hours after the capture of the town by the Iranian Army. A United Nations (UN) medical investigation concluded that mustard gas was used in the attack, along with unidentified nerve agents. The incident was the largest chemical weapons attack directed against a civilian-populated area in history, killing between 3,200 and 5,000 people and injuring 7,000 to 10,000 more, most of them civilians. Preliminary results from surveys of the affected region showed an increased rate of cancer and birth defects in the years afterward. The Halabja attack has been officially defined by the Supreme Iraqi Criminal Tribunal as a genocidal massacre against the Kurdish people in Iraq -------- Iraq's WMD issue is not yet finished when the Kurds are suing WMD profiteers in the European court system.

  17.  @ozziecoops  The Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country". In your argument's summary, the USSR-supported regime change intervention is okay while the US intervention is bad. Your argument is hypocritical.
