  1.  @Tounushi  That is pretty much for any country defending it self.

  2. True, especially as these lands are filled with gas and I think oil. It's curious how supposed rebels only appeared in these regions. Ones that would benefit Russia if they were taken.

  3. Both Germans and Napaleon took a lot of land and were wining battles when they invaded Russia. Both ultimately lost despite early victories. Russian victory isn't set in stone. And once Ukraine gets the rest of the 90% equipment it was promised, things might change.

  4.  @chico9805  Kyiv didn't prosecute local etnic Russians. Russia organised a civil war in Donbas.

  5.  @ltmund  and ethnic Ukrainians didn't. And considering russian little greenmen were in area, one has to question whether locals really did want independence.

  6.  @moonasha  lose land in battle? Yes. Lose land as part of peace negotiations? Big no no.

  7.  @pan2aja  it is war. Russia has invaded Ukraine with its military. Here on planet earth, we call it war. And please, we were clearly shown that Russia isn't as strong as we first believed. Russia was expected to overrun Kyiv in a week, we are 5th month in and Russia is barely able to slowly ta,e a bit of land.

  8. A fight with EU would help Truss distract anti EU voters from domestic troubles for a while. One can always rely on conservative xenophobia when dealing with issues.

  9.  @sinoroman  Not an option anymore. NATO is the only safe place for independent nations that don't want to be in Russia's sphere of influence. Funny thing, if Russia wasn't such an agressor, NATO would likely not exist.
    22
  10.  @ketelin4285  one problem. All Putin can do, is give order to launch nukes. The question is, will military personnel responsible, be willing to die for nothing. The other problem is that Putin isn't under threat from Ukraine or West even if Russia loses this war. Short of successful counter invasion of Russia, West will not kill him. And that ain't happening. The only threats to his life are his health, military and the people.

  11.  @jebbo-c1l  Ukraine economy will be rebuild with western funds so its not as much problem for them as it is for Russia.
    17
  12.  @RannonSi  No, it's British tradition to blame all domestic issues on EU.
    17
  13.  @ketelin4285  Separatists had been killing civies who don't support their plans as well as torturing them. Been reported to UN as well. Guess you missed the mass graves found in Ukraine and various civilian reports about Russians murdering people as well.

  14.  @javaman9010  yes, a lot of people opposed Iraq war in US and they were not thrown into prison for up to 15 years or fined.

  15.  @mangalores-x_x  no, it only got 10% of what it was promised. It is simply demanding more because it wasn't given what it was promised. And even with that 10% Russia is barely able to push forward. Nazis in WW2 done better against Soviets at this stage then Russian in Ukraine.

  16. Which is why Crimea would probably be given to Russia and all Russians banished from Ukraine.

  17.  @OrlandMapper  yes, this time Russians are playing fascists. Plus Russia is worse equipped.

  18. Most from eastern Europe. Milions also came to Germany. UK was the one who decided to stand in a way of progress though.

  19.  @annan7728  Criminal is jailed because he broke the law of the country he is in. Ukraine is independent nation that isn't beholden to Russia. A far better example would be an innocent person (Ukraine) being shot by the gangster (Russia) for running to the police instead of allowing him to rob the house.

  20.  @annan7728  Ukraine, DIDN'T ATTACK Russia. Not even US wanted this war. Btw, reminder that people protested against Vietnam war and were the reason US got out. Russia has long history of attacking Neutral countries and even worked with Nazis to start WW2. Ukraine seems to be doing just fine in the war. Everyone including Russia expected this to end within few days, few weeks at worst. Yet here we are. With Russia being forced to retreat from Kyiv.

  21. Imagine how much more powerful Europe and US would be with less antagonistic China who was their cold war ally and focusing on real threat, Russia.

  22.  @kartikeyatiwari2502  russian news were posting wining articles on Saturday of the first week before they realised they didn't win yet and arussia began with full invasion of Ukraine.

  23. That isn't possible. But perhaps UK and US could give Ukraine same guarantees as were given to Sweden and Finland.
    7
  24.  @realnapster1522  I probably missed when NATO troops were authorized deployment. Mind sharing where you heard it from, Vanya? So far, Russians fought Ukraine that is being supplied weapons by the West, and Russia been doing terrible job at that. The moment professional NATo army shows up in Ukraine, it will be over for Russia. Say what you will about yanks, but they are masters of logistics, something Russia clearly lacks.

  25.  @TileBitan  and you underestimate how delusional these people are. I guarantee you that they will never admit their fault. They will blame remainers, EU and everyone else.

  26.  @catalinxnecula  it was Russia that pushed other countries to seek protection of NATO from Russia. Eastern Europe has a long and painful history with the country. It was Russian attack and atrocities it commited in Ukraine along with threats towards them that are pushing Finland and Sweden into joining NATO. USA doesn't need to do jack when Russia constantly reminds everyone why we need NATO.
    6
  27.  @kostam.1113  UK? The poodle of USA? Yeah, sorry. That alone says you know jack squat about Europe. Serbia got bombed because of atrocities it commited in Kosovo. As I wrote earlier, European countries often don't do what ISA asks or wants. TTIP and Iraq come to mind.

  28. This might surprise you but it's China that is secession country, not Taiwan. Taiwan is where China's elected government fortified during PRC revolution and communists were never able to take the island, thus never actually completely succeeded in their revolution. Hence why we have two countries now instead of one. And whit China is a secession state.

  29.  @MetallicReg  Ukrainians and Russians are not the same. Population is mostly mixed in eastern regions and even then can be actually possible to verify who is who, though it wouldn't be easy.

  30.  @TileBitan  Brexiters and the government will never admit being to blame.

  31.  @alfrredd  What do you mean imagine? That is exactly what happened with Hitler. He took Austria, Checkoslovakia and broken terms of ww1 surrender and allies done nothing. Even at first stage of WW2 we had what is known as phony war where allies barely done anything. It wasn't until Churchill came to power after Hitler invaded Norway that things took off. We see the repeat of the same right now, just with bonus of sanctions placed.

  32.  @james6401  except ir wasn't western provocation. And I mean majority of East Europe. I come from one such country. We are just happy that we managed to escape Russia's clutches in time. You put one of the most stupid examples in history. Russia isn't at war with US. UK was already at war with Germany in WW2. And since it never happened, your point is moot. What needs to happen is to economically destroy Russia until it is out of Ukraine, with all Ukrainian territory returned. Russia can never be trusted to act in good faith. It never did act in good faith since tsardom fell.

  33.  @kostam.1113  Yeah, I was right about you. I live in UK, it really isn't as independent as you seem to believe. UK is largely beholden to USA and stopped doing major independent moves that will piss of USA since Suez crysis. Even French didn't want UK in EU cause their president knew that UK is beholden to USA. Serbia had the right to fight uprising of local population in Kosovo. But committing mass atrocities and war crimes was a bit touch, no?

  34.  @timogul  I don't think anyone promised to defend Ukraine. Only respect its sovereign integrity. US and UK respected it. Russia didn't. The first mistake was trusting Russia.

  35. No, they already had plenty of opt outs and came demanding more. EU did agree to few more minor opt outs but not to everything Cameron asked, because quite frankly, they were tired of British exceptionalism, on top of the fact that UK government blamed EU for every bad consequence of UK government personal decisions. Case and point ice cubes in packets of fish.

  36. They rule by respect as other leaders listen to them, but ultimately everyone are equal. Short of fptp EU wide system, it would be impossible to ellect a leader and even that will ruffle more than a few feathers.

  37. Except not entirely true. Ww1 punishment was harsh and was one of the reasons of what led to ww2. To avoid another Hitler like crisis,ww2 punishment didn't happen. They also remember, hence why they cosy up to winners of Ww2, the Americans.

  38.  @TheMcLaughlincrew  In the war of attrition, Ukraine is more likely to win. You seem to forget that Ukraine isn't fighting using just it's own recourses. It's being supported by West as opposed to Russia that has some of its money frozen and under heavy economic sanctions. Wars are also always more favourable for defenders. Top it off with the fact that Putin is losing info war even in Russia and things are only getting worse. Yes, Nuking Ukraine would be easy way to victory, but it sure would come at great cost. At that point, even China won't be able to support Putin.

  39. I don't think Mother Russia will have any kids left if you keep throwing them as canon fodder in every war.

  40.  @henrybn14ar  This might surprise you, but yes. They've also made a claim that just like Ukraine, they might re-evaluate the belief into Finland being a nation.

  41.  @rutessian  EU always seemed to care for democracy. It isn't Russia after all.

  42.  @cerebrofan  you can't be neutral with Russia. Sooner or later that ends in invasion. There is a reason why all Russian neighbours run off to EU and NATO once they get off the leash.

  43.  @AnnedolfFrankler911  lol, Russia started by attacking Kyiv and was kicked out.

  44. That one has been over and done with ww1.

  45.  @lastwolflord  both Germans in WW2 and Napaleon in 5th coalition war were gaining ground as well, yet both still lost. Russia began with full invasion of Ukraine and attempted to encircle Kyiv, yet it failed. Now Russia had to resort to just attempting to take Donbas and Lugansk with artillery, but can it keep it?

  46.  @kartikeyatiwari2502  @kartikeya tiwari  my last message was posted in haste and I wasn't able to fully answer your stupid post. To start with, you need reading comprehension lessons. My original post wasn't that West believed Russian plan was to take whole of Ukraine or even Kyiv but rather that Russian was strong enough to take Kyiv within a week along with whole Ukraine. Kinda makes you look silly for trying to put words into my posts that don't exist. As for Russia believing it can take Kyiv and Ukraine, it started war with full Ukraine invasion and attempted to encircle Kyiv, one of their goals was also "denazification" of Ukraine. The Russian newspapers also posted articles on Saturday of the first week of invasion early in the morning about Russian victory and Russia creating a new world order but deleted them as it became obvious Russia is no where close to wining. We known of this because it was reported in several medias of both main and none mainstream variety. Any more silly comments?

  47.  @alexsilent5603  considering in Russia they don't allow you to tell the truth, we can't expect a troll like you to even know the truth, let alone handle it

  48.  @genome616  losers consent was given, doesn't mean we can't complain. We know for a fact Brexiters would continue complaining and opposing regardless. As I mentioned before, what other 3 provinces vote doesn't matter. England can outvote them all. You wanting to shut up complaints though is a sign of fascism and tyranny. UK left EU. Losers consent doesn't mean we need to stay quiet. Losers of the referendum in the seventies certainly didn't.

  49. Didn't you just describe America?
