  10.  @abodabalo  It is not Ukraine’s free choice to apply for membership. Under the conditions in which Ukraine became independent, it had to give up nukes and give an assurance to Russia that it would not join any military alliance against Russia. Ukraine's independence declaration said it would be neutral. Otherwise, Russia would not have given independence. Thus, Ukraine's sovereignty was never absolute in this regard. You are speaking like a simpleton. Either you are ignorant of the details above or you are wilfully duplicitous. After the 2014 coup organised by the US, in which Nazi groups like Right Sector and Azov Batallion took part, Ukraine unilaterally changed its constitution to say NATO entry was a goal. The Ukro Nazi groups spread Russophobia thinking they had infinite American protection. Zelensky said if Russian Ukranians want links with Russia, they should go to Russia - the classic line of fascists. Even before Ukraine entered NATO, the US was training the Ukranian army in a centre near Lvov, to make them NATO-ready. Why ? Ukraine sent 5000 troops to Afghanistan even though it was not in NATO yet. It was helping Americans kill Afghans who had done no harm to Ukraine. So now when Ukrainians get killed, in the non-west, many would say 'let them get a taste of what they did in Afghanistan'. Zelensky said Israel is the victim and the Palestinians are the aggressors. Hence, Zelensky has no credibility outside the west. As Ukraine unilaterally reneged on its commitment on neutrality given to Russia at independence, and planned to enter into NATO and allow the US to threaten Russia, Russia has every right to annul Ukraine's independence and take it back so it does not bring in America to threaten Russia. Ukraine has blown its chance to be an independent state due to American interference and machinations, and the Ukranians' penchant for Nazi style nationalism. The eastern part and the coastal regions are gone, and Russia will make the part that is left an unviable, failed state, where reconstruction is not possible. If the remainder of Ukraine wants to survive, it will have to go back to neutrality AND agree to lose more land. Russia will not agree to anything less now. Such is the price for following Zelensky, Ukro Nazis and America.

  13. Can Europe stop Putin on its own? He who threatens or attacks Russia gets defeated. History proves that. The French were defeated in 1812 by Russia. The French now would not dare send troops for a direct engagement. The Red Army beat Germany into a pulp in 1945, and made Germans a peaceful people. The British boast a lot because they won a war in Crimea in 1856, but they would not dare fight a land war against Russia now. Look at Russia's arsenal - a single Sarmat missile will take out Britain. 100 years later, the Soviet Union forced Britain to climb down after the Suez crisis in 1956 when Britain went back to its colonial mischief and invaded Egypt. In 2025, Russia has defeated the collective west in its wicked plan to put NATO bases in Ukraine to threaten Russia. Ukraine has to cede 20% land at least (and more if it does not agree to neutrality), Ukraine cannot be in NATO, and the US is not going to send peacekeepers, and Russia will not allow Europeans inside Ukraine. This is comprehensive victory enough, but Russia is going to achieve more - end NATO altogether so that the double faced Europeans do not threaten Russia ever ! Russia is a great country and the rest of the world salutes it for defeating the collective west. The collective west invaded and robbed Africa, Latin America, India, China, Arabs....They practised slave trade and apartheid, and they back Israel. Russia helped the South African people fighting to end apartheid. It helped many developing countries. Europe and the west will not be able to return to the world order they ran for their benefit at the expense of others. That is the magnitude of Russia's achievement.

  16.  @frogashow  NATO is not so innocent as you pretend. It invaded Afghanistan and runs around as the US's errand boy. Ukraine sent 5000 troops to Iraq. so it should not complain. Actually, NATO is a just a tool for American expansion and threats to others. The US sponsored anti-Russian Ukro Nazi groups like Right Sector and Azov Batallion, and overthrew the elected govt. in Kiev in 2014, and implanted a govt. of their choice. This is the model they have used in Latin America, Pakistan - use money and military power to corrupt local governments and create a faction that supports them. The implanted govt. in Kiev wanted to join NATO, reneging on the commitment to neutrality given to Russia at the time of independence. The US desire was to have missile and more important naval bases in Ukraine. Russia took action in the nick of time to avoid US mischief. Putin had said in the interview, it is costly for Russia to take this action, but the cost will be greater later if the US got its way. If Ukraine got into NATO, Russia would have to fight a nuclear war to get remove US. By intervening at the correct time, it is clear Ukraine cannot join NATO, nor the US have naval bases. Ukraine can keep shouting it is going to join NATO, but Ukraine will not exist in the form of 1991, its a failed state, its time is over. Russia has the upper hand militarily and it is the winning the economic war against the west. Putin is a master strategist and what he has done is very profound. You do not have the intellect to figure it out. Single handedly, Putin has ended the so called western 'rules based order', and the dollar run international economy, where the rules are formulated by the west, which they impose on others and disregard when they want (like in the invasion of Iraq).

  19. Western media have been giving misinformation projecting to the Ukranians and western public the false hope that the plucky and brave Ukranians are standing up to the Russians, and the Russian attack was floundering, and their economy was collapsing due to sanctions. Zelensky the comedian appeared everyday and boasted about his fighters had blown up convoys and not allowed Russians to enter. Western govts. talked about how they are sending arms and even fighters. Now, we understand the big weapons are being lined up and even BoJo understands Kiev will be decimated if it resists and there is nothing Ukranians and the west can do. The Russians have given the civilians time to get out, they are only after Zelensky and his team who thought they could live by putting US missiles to threaten Russia. It does not work. The west is responsible as it encouraged Zelensky's anti Russian phobia. It would have been much better if the Europeans had been realistic to sign an agreement that NATO will not expand to Ukraine in exchange for all other sovereignty for Ukraine. BoJo was making inflammatory statements saying Russia will fail and collapse, but now knowing what is coming, he was left with no way to respond to the lady. The Ukranians have been told they are the finest Europeans every bit like us according to Ursula von Leyen, and Europeans have special rights, so one cannot blame the lady in the video for her expectations from the people who told her you can threaten Russia because you are us.

  20.  @Concord003  'So I will support any course that brings Ukraine into the EU. It has much better record in upholding freedom.' Russia has never objected to the EU or Ukraine joining the EU. Recently, Putin said he had no issue when Ukraine's EU application was announced. He said the EU is an economic alliance. Russia's objection has always been NATO which is a military alliance whose only purpose is to threaten Russia. The US wants Ukraine in NATO so it can put missiles there and have naval bases on the Black Sea. That is a grave threat to Russia. Ukraine's independence declaration had promised it would be a neutral state. That is one condition based on which Russia gave independence. However, Ukraine reneged on that unilaterally. Therefore Russia has decided to enforce the neutrality or cancel Ukraine's independence. 'Also, imagine you're President Zelenskii of Ukraine. Imagine you personally agree Ukraine should be neutral and surrender land in the East and South to get peace. What do you say to the people? What do you say to the families of tens of thousands of soldiers who bled and died to defend the land, which you are now giving to the enemy?' I understand the dilemma. He has to say to his people that unless we sign on neutrality AND cede the land, we shall lose all of Ukraine. The window for negotiations to get such a deal is coming to an end. After Russia completes Donbass operation, they will offer such terms. Ukraine and west will refuse. Then Russia will decided that coming this far, they might as well advance to the Dnieper and take half of Ukraine. What is left of Ukraine will be a landlocked failed state needing EU aid. The Ukranians miscalculated and pawned their sovereignty to get US support, by inciting Russophobic nationalism. They have blown their chance for independence.
