  1.  @andrzejbarcelonafrlk6416  you listen too much to guys like Anders and our media because life's so much simpler to understand when packed nicely into a sweet narrative. Russia did not start the war in Ukraine, Ukraine had a Russian friendly government (VOTED IN... you know democratically) until the USA organized coup. Please don't deny that. Eastern Ukraine, Donbass and Crimea would not recognize the USA puppet Poreschenko as their leader and proclaimed their autonomy. Ukraine sent an army down to quell the uprising leading to 14K plus dead in the region. In the meantime Russia annexed Crimea ( not a shot fired) and then held a referendum to join Russia. Remember Crimea was part of Russia up until 1957. They would be insane to give their only warm water port. Luhansk and Donetsk pleaded to Putin for 6 years to let them join Russian which he denied while he was trying to get the Minsk accord implemented (sound like the actions of an imperialist???). Ukraine is used to actually wage a war on the EU and Russia as they were getting too close and the USA see this as a threat. Our media and politicians pushing for escalation need to convince people like yourself that Ukraine has a chance of winning this war where as they are being slaughtered for geopolitical games. Every time our leaders spout out "democratic values" , sovereignty , respect for borders, no one sees the irony after our destruction of Afghanistan, Libya, Syria, Iraq, Serbia, Yemen.. etc. Ever wonder why not a single journalist or major media outlet in the world has never queried the official narrative.... because they are all bought and sold, as is the host of this blog who need to protect their livelihood and careers.

  2. Would be very interested on your take as to why the west has sabotaged several peace negotiations especially the one brokered by fmr Israeli PM Naftali Bennett early in the war. He has come out and said "I think it was a legitimate decision by the West - to keep striking Putin. Anything I did was coordinated down to the last detail - with U.S, Germany and France. They blocked it. And I thought they're wrong". Unless you'd like to call the Israeli PM a liar Anders....

  3. A more pertinent question is why Russia hasn't responded to USA blowing up the NS2 pipeline with some form of retaliatory attack on our infrastructure. And please spare me your conspiracy theory that Russia blew up their own 11bn dollar investment.

  4. Anders, according to the washingpost NATO intelligent agencies have privately concluded that was no evidence Russia was involved in the Nordstream pipelines sabotage. You wouldn't retract your ridiculous claim of Russia being behind it after the Seymour Hersch's revelations... perhaps now you concede to your viewers that it was the west behind this act of war. Then again the risk to your career and being labelled a Putin apologist must be also taken into account.

  5.  @andrzejbarcelonafrlk6416  according to him, Russia would pull out not force a regime change or demilitarize their army. In return Ukraine garantee they would never join NATO. Russia in my view have come to realize they cannot make any agreements with the west anymore. Merkel, Hollande and Poreshenko have all admitted that the Minsk agreement which Russia pushed for 7 years was used to arm and prepare for the war against Russia. They had no intentions of enforcing it. Russia's bad.

  6.  @andrzejbarcelonafrlk6416  Learn your history, Crimea has been part of Russia, WAAAAAY before the Soviet union, several hundred years. Budapest was also undertaken with the understanding and promise that NATO would not move eastward. Another example how the west has lied and deceived. I am from the west and don't agree with the Russian invasion, but I do know it was unprovoked and it certainly isn't a democratic country.

  7.  @andrzejbarcelonafrlk6416  not really a "Russian hero" in the wests mind because he changed his mind. But I do know all about Stepan Bandera, the "saint" many Ukrainians worship, annually honor him and bear his nazi emblems without shame or remorse.

  8.  @andrzejbarcelonafrlk6416  "Well, you could say Crimea was part of the Russian empire, but it wasn't Russia, like many countries that regained independence." Crimea was part of Russia and was handed over to Ukraine in 1957 by Khruschnev a Ukrainian! My point being that the people are predominantly Russian and voted unamiously to rejoin Russian Fed. *********************************** "(unless you agree president Putin is another Peter the Great to retake parts of the late empire (what about Alaska ?)) Would you equally say Russia is part of Mongolia, because it was part of the empire created by Ginghis Han ?" that is just nonsense, thought this was a serious exchange. *********************************** Do you know any source to confirm the hmmm... idea of "no move of NATO eastwards"? here is one which is a tad pro western. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/jan/12/russias-belief-in-nato-betrayal-and-why-it-matters-today "A new book, Not One Inch: America, Russia, and the Making of the Cold War Stalemate, by the prize-winning historian Mary Elise Sarotte, charts all the private discussions within the western alliance and with Russia over enlargement and reveals Russia as powerless to slow the ratchet effect of the opening of Nato’s door. The author concludes the charge of betrayal is technically untrue, but has a psychological truth." "At one level it narrowly focuses both on verbal commitments made by the US secretary of state James Baker under President George HW Bush and the terms of a treaty signed on 12 September 1990 setting out how Nato troops could operate in the territory of the former East Germany. Putin claims that Baker, in a discussion on 9 February 1990 with the Soviet leader, Mikhail Gorbachev, made the promise that Nato would not expand to the east if Russia accepted Germany’s unification. The following day Chancellor Helmut Kohl, ambiguous about Germany remaining in Nato after unification, also told Gorbachev “naturally Nato could not expand its territory to the current territory of the GDR”. The promise was repeated in a speech by the Nato secretary general on 17 May, a promise cited by Putin in his Munich speech. In his memoirs, Gorbachev described these assurances as the moment that cleared the way for compromise on Germany. *********************************** Why would B. Yeltsin then say and sign Russia has nothing against of the access of Poland in 1999? Because he was a drunk and sold out to the west and Russian was in no position to demonstrate, they were a basket case through the 90's. That's why NATO had a free run to rain missiles on Serbia for 90 days. *********************************** Also, if you go off topic , o you know how many Ukrainians "worship" S. Bandera (and why?) ? percentage know but many of those in Politics and the armed forces. They don't try to hide it.
