  2.  @Georgia_Sakartvelo  unfortunately doesn't look like you have a choice in it at the moment and the last time Georgia talked about joining NATO and the EU well the man the kremlin had different ideas.

  3.  @FlamingBasketballClub  yeah all those nice things they said about the west really shows a completely unbiased opinion. Non alignment? And yet the recommendation was Russia which is the worst option.

  4.  @FlamingBasketballClub  nope I just obviously know Russia better than you. Two choices align with Russia and be poor. Align with the west and see your economy grow.

  7.  @hallelbimpong1901  and you know that because? Let's be clear Putin has invaded Ukraine, Russians are dying and the economy is collapsing and for what exactly? Now you explain to me why you think Putin cares about what Russians think given this disastrous pointless war?

  8.  @mdza  actually virtually everyone living in Crimea before 2014 were Ukrainian however after the illegal annexation they were forced to take up Russian citizenship. But NameUserOf is completely correct in pointing out that after 2014 many Russians from the Russia settled in Crimea buying up the land which was something that the Russians already living there protested against..... so what did Putin do? Nothing. By the way if all these Russians living in Crimea before 2014 wanted to be part of Russia then do explain why the only political party in Crimea that wanted to be part of Russia only managed 5% of the votes in the last election before the illegal invasion? And another point the leader of that political party is the appointed governor of Crimea now, so just like Stalin before him Putin has stripped Crimea of its autonomy

  9.  @beatreuteler  first what makes you think that the people in Crimea would want to leave? Second Putin does still have a sizable military capable of preventing them from leaving. He's bound to also give a televised speech about patriotism and how people during the Great Patriotic War would never abandoned their homes...... he does like to keep comparing everything with WWII, you must have noticed

  10.  @mdza  mate???? again explain why these ethnically Russian Ukrainians never once expressed a desire to be part of Russia? You seriously expect rational people to believe a referendum held by Putin with thousand of Russian soldiers roaming the streets was actually genuine? There was celebrations by some this is true, but what about extrajudicial kidnappings that also took place? What about the rights of the Tatars who have lived in Crimea far longer than your ethnic Russians that were stripped away by Putin?

  12. Milošević died before he could be guilty,

  13.  @rafflesiaandfriends  he was responsible for the deaths of millions of Russians did he take credit for that? They call it the Great Patriotic War in Russia because they did fight a world war. Yes Hitler made the mistake of being badly prepared to fight a war in Russia are you going to give Stalin credit for that?
    1
  14.  @rafflesiaandfriends  what achievements? He went into a pact with Hitler, he didn't for to war with Germany because he wanted to help other nations he went to war to save himself and no one else. Stop claiming he had a positive side because he didn't.

  15.  @adamvifrye2690  I don't know if I'd use the word incompetent, he and his NKVD were pretty efficient at killing people. Some say that he killed more than Hitler in the Soviet Union

  30. Have you spent 5 minutes wondering why so many former Soviet Republics and Warsaw pact countries joined NATO? If Ukraine had joined NATO we wouldn't be in this situation. Yeah China is never going to allow Putin to start WWIII he's already been told and the only thing keeping Russia going is China

  34.  @EshankBahuguna  Russia currently has access to the swift payment system, now you claim that they don't care which for many that may well be the case but certainly not for all. I remember the sanctions that Putin imposed on Russia, yes Putin actually made life more difficult and expensive for the people of Russia because in reality he just doesn't care about them, this self sufficiency didn't exactly happen overnight. This of course led to a huge black market in food from Europe and much dissatisfaction from many. There's only one reason Turkey bought the S400, it certainly wasn't their first choice it's because the US took the decision not to sell Turkey the Patriot missile system. Turkey may well be in NATO (no its not just an ally) but it is seen as a questionable partner by many now given its current leadership. This has resulted in Turkey being excluded from the F-35 program for example..... have they gone running to Russia to buy the SU-57? No of course not, they're not that stupid. Never sure why people like you obsess over gold reserves, it's not been a benefit to the economy or the value of the currency..... so obviously it really doesn't matter. I can only assume that you mean the former president Poroshenko..... no he's not in exile in Russia, you're obviously confusing him with the Russian backed Yanukovych. How exactly did the west lose in Afghanistan? They were there 20 years and could have easily stayed another 20, it was a political decision to leave. Iraq? How is Sadam these days? Gaddafi? The US did not go to war with Libya although some assistance was given to the people of Libya. People don't talk about a war with Syria for a good reason..... there wasn't any. The west is standing by Ukraine despite your claims

  35. ​ @veselinbojinov1882 do the math? Putin has had to go crawling to North Korea and Iran for weapons

  38.  @a5cent removing an evil dictator who we know used chemical weapons on his own people not to mention what he did in Kuwait. He was allowed to trade oil for food but he traded it for weapons, he had to go.

  43.  @majungasaurusaaaa  odd that you mentioned WWI because tactics used by Russia are stuck in that era hence their pitiful performance against the much smaller Ukrainian military
