  1. Turkey is protesting a random person.

  2. Nethanyahu has said he wants to expand current settlements. This is the far right government of Israel.

  3. ​ @gfys756  ha you're mistaken about two things. They aren't in decline. They don't have as much room to grow, so by comparison, one authoritarian country grew. If by demographics, you mean population. Russia's is abysmal. Authoritarian regimes don't have strong population growth either. And even China is in a decline. It's a global issue to all developed countries.

  4. ​ @NeoBTK  you can't hold anyone but Russia responsible for escalating the situation. This is not escalation.
    36
  5. They're not coming in illegally. They're asking to come in
    34
  6. This is why democracy is important. They're incredibly brave. I don't know how they can overcome a state.
    28
  7.  @judgedredd8876  They don't. Aside from NATO not being antagonistic, it wasn't aggressive. You see how they mentioned values. That's democracy, justice, law ECT. They may not live upto it all the time but they try. Russia has shown it doesn't value any of that, and is willing to export it's anti human values.
    26
  8. Ukraine didn't go to war. Russia went to war. Ukraine didn't surrender.
    24
  9. ​ @thalentekhuluse2829  Look at what's happened. The desire to join NATO makes perfect sense
    22
  10. You can't. It's illegal and unethical. Ethnic cleansing is also illegal and not an expected result. And neither is an endless occupation. Or Apartheid.
    22
  11. ​ @mikeegenolf1386  You're analogy is wrong. Because it's like the fire is natural or a neutral thing. It's being started by Russia, trying to burn something down. These jets are a resupply to the fire department trying to contain it. Supplies and weapons are equipment to combat it.
    20
  12. ​ @mistressfreezepeach  Ukraine is smaller, and less wealthy than Russia. Russia attacked Ukraine. Not the US. Not anyone else
    20
  13. It's a myth that they are the same people. Even the languages have evolved from different sources. It is not the same people. And they also collaborate on goals. They've become a group. Through that ideology and that history and just working together.
    20
  14. He got me with that best negotiator bit!
    18
  15. That's not the issue with north Korea. Why does it stop them from leaving? Why does it punish them so harshly?
    17
  16. ​ @RosscoAW  you gonna pretend like china doesn't contribute to climate change. China might be twice as much as US.
    17
  17. ​ @gdiwolverinemale4th  The US military isn't expanding to Russia's borders. That would require going through countries that are allies. If you mean Ukraine wanting to join NATO because Russia keeps attacking them and others, then that would be Ukraine joining NATO.
    16
  18. ​ @soreeyez  It's not aggressive. they haven't aggressed. Taiwan hasn't either. China has. And it's ally north Korea has. Russia has. Maybe you got confused and meant the chinese-NK-Russia aggressive military Axis
    16
  19. ​ @Commonlogicguy  I love how pro Chinese people ignore north Korea and south Korea. That's what it's like, and why they're two separate countries.
    16
  20. Because the issue and problem with Israel and Hamas precede this. And you know this.
    15
  21. ​ @davidnoelfranks1124  wow dude, they're mentioning you in the video
    15
  22. African countries have militaries. One took over. What are you even talking about. The statement sounds confused.
    15
  23. Whether we know or not, who's threatening Taiwan? Not us ignorant people.
    14
  24. ​ @gfan83  nonsense question.
    14
  25. Yes the US is real isolated, I say sarcastically
    14
  26.  @мурф  If you sell someone a rake or give them a rake, and they use that rake for self defense when they're attacked. You can't act like your rake has been sullied. as if you stand for rakes not being used for anything outside of raking leaves. And as if that reflects on you in some way. It's ridiculous.
    13
  27. ​ @Greyhound10075  at no point does the UN say that they were Hamas. consistent violations of international human rights law on the use of force by the ISF (Israeli security forces) through unnecessary and disproportionate use of lethal force and an increase in apparently planned targeted killings," Some of the Palestinians killed in the West Bank were children armed with stones or firecrackers and "clearly did not represent an imminent threat to life," Among the 506 Palestinians killed were 148 children, it said. Pervasive impunity for such crimes has been commonplace for far too long in the occupied West Bank. Such impunity has created an enabling environment for more and more unlawful killings by the ISF,"
    12
  28. How are these homeless people, according to you, taking housing.
    11
  29. ​ @Baron1777-e8j  According to Russia it's okay historically. But Ukraine hasn't forbidden any language. Nor was that what the conflict was about.
    11
  30. ​ @Deutschland8894  personally I care about justice and leaving dead things alone. It's been theirs a long time. And Venezuela doesn't need it.
    11
  31.  @jasonlives6923  that's definitely a draft. Difference is of course, one country is fighting to survive. And the other is drafting to attack a peaceful country.
    11
  32. They don't need jurisdiction to sanction. The sanction is removing access to something that provide essentially.
    10
  33. ​ @krto7663  call a dictatorship to stop a dictatorship. I dunno. That seems counter productive
    10
  34. It's not a debate. It's just getting expert opinion and information. There's nothing to debate. It's the news.
    10
  35. ​ @mrboxheadd748  provocation against South Korea and Japan? No. North Korea launching missiles made this. China being rather aggressive with its claims definitely doesn't do it favors.
    10
  36. ​ @rouz0  Ukraine didn't attack the donbas. Donbas didn't want autonomy. Some terrorists or separatist, a group of armed people, organized by Russia, started taking over with armed force. They formed a junta and a small army, overthrew the civilian government, and set up a dictatorship. The Government is obviously going to fight that, and free the people.
    10
  37. It should crack you up how this is the best Russia can do against a weaker country at every level that it had no reason to get into a conflict with.
    10
  38. ​ @Dizle81  come on, beyond ridiculous.
    9
  39. ​ @branimirsalevic5092  Controlled opposition.
    9
  40.  @charlenebeard4123  how is it misuse. They knew the military was using it. I don't get the outrage as if it's been sullied. It's just internet access/connectivity.
    9
  41. ​ duncansmith7562  the Russian arrogance and sense of superiority, and history of it is why these countries don't want to go out of their way to promote it.. plus they have their own language that Russia has hurt to restore. These things will go through a process of fine tuning. And hopefully, legitimate criticism is heard. That woman should be allowed to stay. But nothing else is bad about what they're doing. Russian can still be learned. People can even learn history and culture in those languages. If there is anything useful in knowing Russian, people will learn it.

  42. Even if he didn't win, raising issues is important because it pushes the conversation. He'd have increase his chances next time or for his next position too.
    9
  43. ​ @marcusjeffriesjr7369  NATO has not done what Russia is doing. Kosovo war is the only time NATO has acted like that. It wasn't for its own interest or expansionist efforts. It was not like what Russia is doing. That's how Russia pretends, masquerades what they're doing. It gets to artificially portray it like that.
    9
  44.  @soreeyez  NK has launched missles that fell on Japan's territory. Russia has crossed their airspace. China has crossed into their waters. Nothing defensive about anything of their actions. 2/3 are imperialistic. All 3 are aggressive. No one has threatened them.

  45. Let's hope they don't.

  46. ​ yea I'm aware. I'm also aware a lot of Indians ignore other facts about it. The US was usually not supportive of Pakistan. Not to the extent some Indians seem to believe. Like the US helped end it. The US thought Pakistan was in the wrong ect. Including sanctioning Pakistan. " No military aid to Pakistan due to Pakistani use of American military supplies against India in Indo-Pak War of 1965[7]" "Violation of the terms of US military aid by Pakistan, as equipment is used against India" The US did help Pakistan, explicitly because of the USSR siding with India. But to say full support is wrong. Mixed support, where Pakistan was under sanctions, and two people undermined those sanctions. More like very reluctant support.. which is why Pakistan sought the support of Russia. That's right...Russia also aided Pakistan. And having the support of an authoritarian dictatorship isn't a good thing either. The US was wrong to give any support. But India had already committed to attacking Pakistan before Pakistan had struck.

  49. We don't know all their views. At the very least they're not the ones fighting.

  51. ​ @happymelon7129  it's part of Japan. It's not illegal because Japan wants the US there
    8
  52. ​ duncansmith7562  this really is nonsense. People keep telling you it wasn't outlawed. The laws in Ukraine are essentially the same as before yanukovych. Only difference is trying to promote Ukraine media over everyone else's.
    8
  53. ​ @kanira4355  They did report facts. They tried to do something to this thing, here's how some people interpret it.
    8
  54. He doesn't "waste" money on helping Americans that are suffering either! So there's just more suffering in the world. And in fact he'll do things that will make people suffer, and the world, and environment.
    8
  55. ​ Nobody  Russia is responsible for it's actions
    8
  56. ​ @Newtwo_  acting like removing statues is an insult is in itself nationalist. Russia is jingoistic. I've seen Russian trolls/bots say that they can remove Ukranian sovereignty, that it was conditional. The entire way the federation is composed is a hierarchy where Russia is on top.
    8
  57.  @Newtwo_  literally Russia is condemning another country removing monuments. The very video you're on.
    8
  58. It's just an excuse for regional powers(especially aithoritarian ones). That's going backwards. We only need a world where the U.N and resolutions there have more weight. Less a world of broken regional powers in deciding surrounding countries fates, and more of one where there's more equal representation. All we see of this multi polarity is people who don't want to play nice throwing a fit that they get punished for doing bad things.
    8
  59.  @fantozzi2444  You're skipping over a lot. Including Russia taking Crimea. Donbas having nothing to do with Russian territory. Russia's activities there including moving troops ect
    8
  60. ​ @annan7728  and now it is, and China has no claim to it. The people's republic of China has no claim to it.
    8
  61. Disproportionate retribution is a thing. Some countries are strict. For Palestine, the illegal occupation is a possible argument for an attack. But any attack on civilians like that would be a war crime.
    8
  62. ​ @Geusdeus  You want to make people sad about it? Why don't you try to make Russia feel bad about killing Ukranians. Soldiers, civilians alike.
    7
  63. How can there be neutrality with people that constantly invade you? They automatically makes that country not neutral. Neutral is watching two strangers fight. If one of those guys attacks you, you arent neutral whether you want to be or not.
    7
  64. ​ @SMGJohn  yea you can complain. Russia is invading. And this is part of an attempt to stop them. Russia already lobs missles anyway
    7
  65. Dangerous rhetoric

  66.  @andremurray47  which would still be 58 times the ruble

  67. ​ @user-mh5xk6fl1x  let's say that happens... Why Russia? China and EU are there. India is there.

  68. ​ @acidbot666  when will Russia learn it's no longer a super power.
    7
  69. ​ @Krkak4985  they said that... In this video. How would women benefit from this oppression.
    7
  70. The disingenuity of bots lies in you ignoring russia's complicity, its aggression.
    7
  71.  @Китоблатов  you mean it would have been taken over and Russia could have done whatever it wanted. But it is a sovereign state that. The Ukranians are fighting. Their sense of sovereignty and democracy are admirable.
    7
  72. ​ @zimtwiers9726  you can't conflate autonomy with independence. There was no credible independence. Even the separatist don't want that(because they're Russian proxies). Most of the people that fought against the militia were from the donbas as well. And the separatist didn't have the support of the local government either. Even the more autonomy claim is mixed to false. Since it was either another Russian way of destabilizing or just a tactic. Any separatism desire was always small to near nonexistent even in Crimea. Basically there was no strong support for any of it. Just polical discontent, which isn't unusual in any country.

  73. ​ @xeero24  the protests aren't in transnistria.

  74. ​​ @purple0-12  in fact they don't, that's why the war is called illegal.
    7
  75. How to achieve peace and what will the resulting period be after. Peace isn't surrendering to the attacker. Ukraine wants to ensure it's peace. Instead of existing as a prisoner of Russia.
    7
  76. ​ @mcron1133  The war that Russia started against a non NATO country is a NATO war? Oh you guys, you're hurting my brain. Like you make the world a worst place knowing someone has such bad thought processes.
    7
  77. ​ @NOCOS. It's literally a dictatorship. But the world would leave any country alone if it stays to itself or follows the rules. Because you can't just attack a country.

  78. ​ @izevbizuatrustine611  it obviously could But again who wants to?

  80. No they aren't. They're just looking at 100 days in office. That's standard for every politician. And they let an expert explain everything.

  82. So what? The US isn't the one invading here

  83. ​ @dxd42  You don't need to satisfy both criteria. Russia might have done it even if they aren't profiting
    6
  84. ​ @rouz0  what part of you understanding that the people didn't want it don't you get. The fact that farm accounts are so concern, is evidence that some force wanted it.
    6
  85. ​ @Shining237  what a liar
    6
  86. You can't expect them to see peace while being attacked or watching the other part of their nation attacked. This needs to stop for peace to start. It's really unfair to ask them for it while attacking them. And all of them want a ceasefire. Even hamas wants a ceasefire.
    6
  87. ​ @cristiangaban960  there was no peace before.
    6
  88. ​ @soreeyez  Ukraine got attacked by Russia. It got support by the US. That's actually why you want to be allied with a country. They don't attack and they help defend. Japan has even more guarantees of an actual response.

  91. ​ @phil2806  Most of Ukraine voted. East and west. There's only a few small regions in two areas that the government didn't control. And they didn't control it because of Russia. You're being ridiculous. You have no point. Ukraine was an independent, democratic country that was attacked.

  93. ​ kirsch-qj9bg  Ukraine wasn't attacking Russia in any capacity. Russia kept attacking Ukraine.

  94. @kızgın tosbağa no one threatened Russia. Russian threatened the region. I don't control NATO or Ukraine. Ukraine controls Ukraine. And NATO has an open door policy on its charter. And turkey joined NATO, so is turkey threatening Russia?
    6
  95. ​ @JacobNax  he is blaming human insecurity. He isn't say all short people are like this. Zelensky is around the same height. This is purely Putin.
    6
  96. Ukraine didn't do anything. It was neutral when Russia invaded. It wanted to exercise it's sovereignty. I'll remind you that what prompted Putin to start his assault on Ukraine was that they wanted an association agreement with the EU. That wasn't picking a side. That wasn't military.

    5
  115. ​ @aussiecomrade5972  and here you are defining Russia doing whatever it wants. Which in this case is war, war crimes, and breaking international law multiple times over.

  117. ​ Maxus Lorenzo  this has nothing to do with anything. Russia invaded Crimea.
    5
  118. ​ @tommytomas-fr3sh  yes because Russia is a different country. They can be Russian in Ukraine. But if they want to live in Russia they need to move. But the people of the donbas did not want to be Russian citizens, they didn't want their country invaded or annexed.

  120. ​ @picklethepirate  more like people have given so many. tired of telling willfully obtuse people. Quick run down The US law is not like this law. That law is about people acting on behalf. This law is about any international, not even country specific, funds. Including from foundations and individuals. It mirrors similar laws used to oppress people because it's about labeling, not transparency. They already tell that information, so this is redundant, and about labelling. This is about stigmatizing NGOs, about suppressing dissent. NGOs are often by dedicated people, not from any particular country, sometimes acting internationally in cooperation. And if you see how this law has been used to target opposition and lead the country towards authoritarianism... That's all you have to do, look at what Russia did with this law. And I'm 100% sure you've heard every news segment tell you this.

And their values are awful. They're trying to spread their values of being an authoritarian regime via willing to take over, or destabilize. Which is inherently worst for people in those countries. US has the capacity to improve much more than Russia. Russia is starting from a worst place, and staying there or going backwards. I'm not trying to whitewash criticism of western countries. It's that Russia is worst.

  150.  @addajjalsonofallah6217  Russia did invade Ukraine. There was no agreement with the US about Ukraine. The only thing even remotely related was when Ukraine declared independence. It reassured Russia it didn't do it to go join NATO and had no plans at the time to do so. But those plans changed. Russia started being aggressive to it's neighbors immediately. And invaded Ukraine in 2014.

They declared their independence, and referenced that they will be implementing some of the things previously mentioned. That's not a legal thing. There's no laws broken because it's not a law. It's not a treaty. It was them saying their intention. That's why it's called a declaration. The country can do whatever it wants because countries can. Russia didn't make an agreement with that declaration. It recognized the already formed state of Ukraine.

If Russia had taken it over, it'd be closer to NATO. Russia is already close to NATO. And now it'll have more NATO members, it isn't attacking, nearby. The pretext of NATO makes no sense. But even if it was to establish a puppet state. It would be oppressing Ukraine. Well I saw someone already explain this to you better.

They're government has asked for help for a long time now. When countries ask for help, there's nothing wrong with helping. We can't paint this stuff with such a broad stroke that we clump a country asking for help, alongside invasions or something. It won't work miracles but it's probably better than what's happening now.

  362. ​ @Lieu_Tenant_Gambit  democracy isn't about wealth. It's about the people having power. It's the only thing that makes a government legitimate in a moral/ethics sense.

The fact it helps it be dynamic is a plus.

  363. ​ @salam14111  you're not on Ukraine's side because you're saying nonsense. Ukraine didn't hate Russia. The fact you're saying this shows what insane bias you have. Russia was interfering and invading Ukraine. If they dislike the country now, it's because Russia kept giving them reasons to. And it wouldn't matter anyway since it's for protection, against something like this war. Blaming the US makes no sense in this circumstance.

  384. ​ Keyboard Emperor  China(the current PRC) has never had Taiwan. Taiwan is a separate country that doesn't want to be forced or taken over by china. That's why any person with a conscience wouldn't root for China. A country belongs to the whole, thus all citizens own all land in all the country. And one part can't just take it. An exception is like an odd situation where, it belonged to a country, and some empire is holding on to a piece of it. Or the country isn't united, but each region might be part of a union, like the EU. Though even with the EU, and the UK, the larger part of the Union have allowed the process to even exist. And to happen peacefully. Something China has not allowed. Because Taiwan obviously doesn't want to be a part of China. But fears retaliation if they were vocal about it.

    3
  388. ​ @wirasanjaya4517  the memorandum had nothing to do with joining NATO or not. So they didn't break anything. You're retroactively adding something to it that didn't exist. The agreement just gave recognition and assurance to never attack Ukraine.

Or because the subject of individuality has been beaten out of your soul. The US being wrong doesn't make Russia correct. The US being wrong on a separate issue, doesn't make the US wrong on this issue, or every issue, and doesn't preclude it from being correct.

  429. Zero responsibility. This is squarely on the voters, and non voters. This isn't 2016 when Dnc put an unpopular candidate against an unknown. this is a cartoonishly known, bad person who tried to end democracy and people wanted him. Because they were too dumb to understand really simple things. Or because they're morally bankrupt, either due to hatred or wealth or whatever, they're willing to do it. no candidate bears any responsibility. It's the voters and the non voters. It's the populace of the United States of America. They are solely responsible this time. Because any decent person, or average person, or even slightly below decent person, is better than Trump.

  464.  @glaya7548  it sounds like failure if he has to be unpopular. How can Russia be so old and still be this divided. It sounds like it's a sign of failure of something.
    2
  465. ​ @lokomo-px5gx  they did a push around February if I remember right. To get ahead of the Ukraine one and all the new gear. It sputtered out
    2
  466. It hasn't even been two years and Russia has lost some capability. How did they forget when they weren't talking about it, as it happened in the past
    2
  467. It wasn't. It was about gathering support for an approach. They repeated it often. The "international rules based system". It's like a petition, or like campaigning.

  469.  @TenylegMinekez-uc7co  mjdin also said it but they didn't lose. Afghan government did. In a short span of time.
    2
  470.  @logikus8638  that's ridiculous. Those people have been there awhile. Plenty of Ukranians are native Russian speakers including it's current president. There's a fight in the region because of Russia. Russia decided to destabilize the region alongside grabbing Crimea.
    2
  471.  @netanelthegreat4793  ridiculous. You protest to spread awareness as well, and get a policy change. The awareness of the death of innocents by an aggressor. And the policy change of stop murdering children and this war of aggression.
    2
  472.  @netanelthegreat4793  there was no genocide. Ukraine is going into that territory now and it's not harming the people. Where do you even get this man? Are you paid to lie or were you told a lie? What Russia is trying to do now has a case for genocide. It's still being explored so we'll see. But yes, Russia is committing genocide(probably), Ukraine didn't. And didn't want to. It just wanted to stabilize the country of an armed rogue group holding towns captive, backed by a powerful military and soldiers.
    2
  473. I laughed by like the 5th time she said that
    2
  474.  @salonez91  Because it's primarily a Russian issue caused by Russia. It's Russia's feelings. NATO hasn't pushed for anything. Ukraine applied to join. Was deferred for awhile. Ukraine showed renewed interest when Russia invaded in 2014.
    2
  475.  @proudhuman166  and Aid to India. Over 65bn.
    2
  476.  @bgdabg6769  you should tell that to Russia because they missed the memo or don't know got to navigate or something, cause they ended up in Ukraine fighting and killing people. But I guess that was an accident according to you
    2
  477.  @jazzytimes2373  all you're saying is that Russia is committing a massacre and destroying things
    2
  478. A ceasefire for Ukraine would force them to not be able to defend themselves against someone attacking them and stealing their lands. The Ukranians don't want that. And what Russians want don't matter. It's not their country.
    2
  479. ​ @daelundrumavidem8033  democracy is a process. There's no such thing as an authoritarian process being democratic. That's oxymoronic. The democracy is the process by which the people give consent to be representative. People are not their affiliation. The majority voted for this guy. People are also not the percentage of elected people of parties. So it's not 60% following 40. That is such bonkers nonsense. It really comes from a mind that doesn't understand democracy A mind shaped by an authoritarian party that wants to pretend that forcing affiliation is consent.
    2
  480. Russia does a bad attempt at mimicry. It tried to artificially create a Kosovo scenario in a situation where it didn't make sense. And it cost those people their human rights because Russia doesn't care about rights. It cares about it's ego.

  490. ​ @felipe-vibor  the West doesn't want Ukraine. Ukraine wants Russia to stop stealing from it. Crimea didn't ask to be part of Russia. The populace of Ukraine didn't ask for Russia to take it's territories from it. Russia starts or foments wars. And ignores the people that don't want it there.
    2
  491.  @tfantini2966  they are the aggressors. And they did start this. Whether it's 2022 or 2014.

  492.  @sean2595  literally Russia... Invaded Crimea. Helped with regime change in donbas.
    2
  493.  @sean2595  It's not true because NATO didn't have any desire. The eastern countries wanted to connect with the west. They wanted the protection of NATO. Because they(those countries) knew about Russian attempts at influencing them.
    2
  494.  @StrongRespect  you know what was overthrown, the government in the regions where armed insurgents, directed by Russia, overthrew the democratically elected government.
    2
  495.  @thomassissay5719  the reason they wanted to join is because Russian invaded and took their land before. It's a reasonable reaction.
    2
  496.  @StrongRespect  It did not. The UN doesn't recognize and condemns Russia getting Crimea, declaring it invalid.
    2
  497.  @StrongRespect  All that would happen is Ukraine would restore the civilian government. That area is already devastated because of this war.
    2
  498. ​ @GavStaR79  Why wouldn't it be okay if South Korea wants them there? China can have some in NK if it wanted. All ships can travel anywhere.
    2
  499.  @njmeteor  I didn't. OP wondered why China would help them when they're so horrible to their own people and South Korea. You can answer them by saying its "propping up against the US threat". Or to be a buffer. But the US "threat" increased because of NK's actions.
    2
  500. They lose it all the time. And they let the man say literally everything. They lost it at the end. Edit: it even looked like he had stopped talking or was surprised himself. The last question already had a sort of angle where they couldn't fish for an answer. Not any that doesn't make the ICC look good anyway.

  504. They stated the facts. And brought an expert opinion. A mindless debate by presenting both sides as equal without any proportionality is unnecessary. It's sensationalist. And it's not a news show.
    2
  505.  @graciasthanks4771  I really doubt you know what the standards of good journalism is. Because it's not presenting to viewpoints as equal despite their merits. The facts were stated in the beginning, they are combined with expert opinion. That helps give context. Edit: I'm quite sure you aren't saying this because of journalistic reasons. Basically I'm sure you're low key for Musk or this financial move, perhaps because you are pro monetizing or whatever reason this bothers you. But your solution is bad. Your solution is to get two polarized opinion into what could be a shouting match, and call that fair. presenting to the viewers two ideas as having equal value can be downright misleading (Flat earth vs globe, anti racism vs pro racism). It would also probably drown the information out. you propose a much worst way of doing things. One which wouldn't even match the style of this segment. Looking at your other comments, reenforces my view. You're hiding behind fairness because you support commercialization and market forces. You're against the UK's healthcare system and other such a things. Instead of hiding behind such critiques of journalism, why not just state why you think it's good.

  512.  @ah5904  all current countries are the ones still standing. I'm not knocking Indonesia which is very large and diverse. Or saying you don't have reasons to be proud. I do think you're undercutting how diverse Europe/EU is. If it looks similar, that happened over time. Each region had different groups in it, and each one is a separate country. And now it has a lot of immigration. All that being unified in the EU to some extent. Be careful not to let that pride morph into looking down on others. Or saying someone shouldn't be proud of whatever small country.

  517.  @rahul-io9kk  whenever I see these comments I wonder why people like you don't answer personally. You're okay with Russia treating multiple countries like this. And more specifically with the damage it does to the people there. Cut through all the BS and the Ukranians don't deserve what's happened at all. The Moldovans don't deserve this either. So what if Russia is in decent terms.with India. You're incapable of judging how humans should be treated. Or whether something is right or wrong? I never believed indians had such a flawed morality. You're okay with a country that seems to actively hate democracy? You don't have any pride in India having a democracy?
    2
  518.  @rahul-io9kk  India is strong. But you're not strong enough to win against China by yourself. They have much more money. And better tech. And better infrastructure. Well the world would still help India if china ever attacked which seems unlikely.

  519. ​ @ssss8162  Taiwan is where Taiwan always was... Just leave the little island alone This going to war for ego is ridiculous.
    2
  520. ​ @ssss8162  It did not. It recognized the PRC as representing the country of China, the entity. Nothing about the one china policy. That's acknowledged at an individual country level. But china's claims would go against people's rights to self determination. And the reality on the ground.
    2
  521. Dismantle the [power of the] military. Its gotta be tried, whether sneaky or slow. Fragment the military as much as possible. Spin off the counter terrorism as much as possible. Only other option is to hope the military suddenly wises up. Or suddenly finds a love for democracy.
    2
  522. ​ @chinazieswillstartww3253  It didn't. Ukraine wanted to seek it again after Russia invaded before. Russia knew it couldn't.

    2
  527.  @simaf.2107  It isn't the same. I'm not here to tell you right from wrong. But it's not the same. Kosovo's government wanted to be independent. The people there wanted it. It wasn't planned by some outside force. The donbas was proven that Moscow planned it, organized it, and it wasn't the civilian government that did it. Kosovo wanted to break free from Yugoslavia, as did like 4-5 other parts of it. At a time when that was happening. The situation, and how it happened are fundamentally different.
    2
  528. A Russian problem. WTF kinda rhetorical question is that.

  529. Here's a tip. Look up what words mean. I presume you are on the internet. You don't need to distinguish. There are factual, objective differences if you understand words.
    2
  530. Saying this as if it's a fact, or applicable everywhere is wrong. In what way is Serbia treated like that. There's almost no countries treated that way. China is not treating people as equals. Pretending they are is also ridiculous. It's like repeating a buzzword without knowing it's meaning.

    2
  533. @Goliath meaning let Russia do whatever it wants for no reason. Ukranians asked for help. Nonsense thing to say. Like saying a r*pe would go by quicker if the victim didn't fight back, or run away, or call for help. Even worst, saying people shouldn't try to help victims or have resources for them.
    2

    2
  567. It wasn't just recognizing. It was agreeing to never attack physically or financially. Russia doesn't care. It doesn't care because Russia views itself as better than Ukranians. Because it wants to secure Crimea. But it does everything because Russia looks down on others so totally.

  572. US isn't involved. And doesn't dispute who the territory belongs to. But just like china, it can be easy to punish a whole group way. There's differences with Ukraine too like it wasn't ethnic base. US is saying it might get involved in talks to de escalate because situations like this can turn into ethnic cleansing and genocide.

    2
  576. ​ @trumpforever6706  ridiculous. The US has said it's not important and advices against staying. And the Ukranians have held on for months. That's already a good performance. The entire Ukraine army has already done really well against a bigger opponent.
    2
  577. ​ @johndavidwolf4239  of course, they're lying based on Zelensky saying that if Russia invaded a Baltic state in NATO, the US would fight. The most obvious statement.
    2
  578. I think the confederation solution makes the most sense. This idea negotiations will happen later is ridiculous. Negotiations can take the bite or necessity out of hamas, like the UK and IRA. Hamas has nothing to do with Israel's part of the problem. Or strengthening the PA so it becomes a civil issue. Its an excuse to not do anything. Because they have all the power. They just don't want to do what they should.
    2

    2
  584. Hamas is the enemy. But Israel is killing a lotnof Palestinians. So i really doubt that they dont view them as enemies. There doesn't seem to be any level that they don't consider acceptable civilian losses. In a situation they created, and a solution that leaves the Palestinians out of it.
    2

  593. ​ @dukhi_aatma372  democracy, always. For one, china didn't sacrifice democracy. It never had any. Then it tried to copy aspects of financial systems while still being repressive. And it even eased out of its repression before slowly reintroducing it. But that's like saying slavery is okay. Do we need freedom right now or economic development, "let's just enslave more people for awhile and maybe they'll give us freedom some day." For one thing you lose the ability to decide if you give up on democracy. There's no choice later between authoritarianism and democracy because after authoritarianism, you don't get a choice.

  603. ​ @lookintoit4537  that's a bad solution because it's the starting position. Russia already agreed to not attack Ukraine and it did so. At a time when joining NATO had declined and stalled. It doesn't take from their insecurity..Russia invaded or interfered almost immediately and its ego doesn't allow former Soviet countries to live as they want. What started the war was an EU agreement with Ukraine in 2014.

The issue is how Israel has treated the Palestinians before and now. Trying to conflate protection of palestinians with anything else is ridiculous.

Russia has killed more people in those regions. And the reason Ukraine had to fight in those regions is the same as why they have to fight here. Because Russia started a war.

The people there had a national identity, they had a collective identity. They've lived there for a long time before WW1, and they called themselves that before it. They are the people who have lived there all that time. And it is ridiculous to claim that the people who have been there the entire time didn't exist before then

It's Russia that's been occupying Ukranian territory. If you support the palestinians or Israel, it would make no logical sense to support Russia. Whose situation doesn't fit either. While Ukraine's fits both.

And Italy's best chance to curtail Russia. International law being upheld is better for Italy. If the shoe was on the other foot, Italy would want support. Edit: let's put it this way. Those munitions were used for what they were always designed for. And who was considered the biggest threat in the first place.

Only ones related to the enemy. the language laws in effect when Russia started this were the same ones in effect since the founding of Ukraine. And that was never an issue. 90% of education in Crimea was in Russian when Russia took it over. No one was oppressed by language. Russia planted a war in Ukraine, with it's soldiers and equipment, and organizers from it's government brought in to take over.
    2
  684.  @patrickdayton2080  No they don't. How do you even come to that conclusion. Ukraine has the right to do whatever. Russia has nothing to do with anything. And should respect it. Russia should have been friendly to other countries and NATO would have been a great ally for Russia if it had.

  701.  @soreeyez  maybe in retaliation for a strike on an ally, in other words, defensive. NK has threatened SK. It's even threatened the US. By the regime's own words, it's actions are aggressive. It's thrown missles in SK, and Japan, and near other countries.
    2
  702.  @John-.-Smith  my god just what is your point? It has nothing to do with a country's territory. Is it about the post war agreement? Or the not having an army thing. What does that have to do with these countries being aggressive to everyone? What excuse are you using here
    2
  703.  @John-.-Smith  Yes they have. And other country's including the phillipines and South Korea. You think that's fictional? Now say what your point is, some excuses to try to justify it.

And going after more land resources is just crippling your economic development. And you have plenty as is. You're just harassing, hurting, and killing people who did nothing to you, for no reason. No BS about the donbas, no bs about NATO. Russia is just being imperialistic and looking for excuses. Instead of developing their economy and working with other countries. Like the moral high ground so far removed from Russia on this, that you are at the center of the earth and the moral high ground might as well be outer space.

  722.  @Battleneter  NATO didn't push anything. Other countries joined it. A couple of countries have recommended Ukraine join NATO. It's mostly ones Russia has attacked. Two Nordic countries want to join... Because of this Russian attack. Like the other comment said, if Russia just built good relations with others, this wouldn't be an issue.

  772. ​ @Tonik-13  wrong. US didn't do anything. The agreement was between each party individually. Russia was trying to interfere the entire time. Russia's entire gripe was that it lost its ability to interfere in Ukraine because the people showed such resistance. There was no violent change of power either. A violent overthrew would be a force violently taking over. But that's what happened in the donbas. Ukraine's government was never over thrown and in fact acted through its process the entire time.

  773. ​ @UkraineNeeds  In other words, they've been fighting some terrorists that took over a region. Separatist? Junta, Russian proxies? There's no republic there.

  775. No because of the fundamental difference. The sort of ethos of each state. Even Russians know that this China thing isn't based on anything but convenience. And the Chinese too know that they're using Russia. The same way Russia used the Warsaw pact countries. The US needs an ally but it's also based on principles shared. That, and what those principles are, make key differences.

  776. ​ @hatchxable  that doesn't make sense because they started a war. How many people have died. Russia doesn't care about it's people. And you know Europe nor Ukraine would threaten Russian security so I don't know where that comes from. NK is much weaker and much further away and it's been safe.

  782.  @bz9807  You mean that it's two separate governments that don't recognize the other, existing in different territories that used to be part of the same country. But the situation is totally different. But I have news for you, neither Korea recognizes the other, and both claim the entire peninsula. I guess north Korea isn't as disrespectful as china is, but it also isn't as powerful.

  789. Is it one hegemon, or is it the west which is by definition is a collective. What about breaking UN international law, is that a collective or one hegemon.

  837. That's a surrender. Give us what we want, and you get nothing other than we stop killing you. That area doesn't belong to Russia. Ukraine was willing to be neutral almost immediately. But now the best guarantee is a few years with some military for protection. You can't ask Ukraine to be neutral anymore. And you can't ask them to surrender territory. I'm not sure what Russia can get from this. Other than real referendums in the future to whether there's territories actually want to join. But now Ukraine needs assurances and bases from other countries because Russia has shown it isn't safe and Russia isn't trustworthy.

Russia knows NATO wouldn't attack a nuclear power. Or that they even wanted war with Russia.

  873. ​@MSD Group those markets don't give a damn about Russia. They don't love the west either. But they aren't losing money over Russia. There's no values tying any of those countries together other than making money. Russia and china sometimes on hating the US. But the US is more important than Russia. India half hates the US but hates china a little more, and needs the US as a military partner. Brazil changes with the wind but isn't for what you're talking about anyway.

  878. It can be a war crime. If it isn't a proper target, and affects people. In that quote it was for a few hours, and the hospitals and other such had back up generators and hadn't been targeted. The country hadn't been deprived of resources ect. And it was still controversial. The few hours is important. NATO didn't try to destroy the critical infrastructure. Russia is. It's trying to shut it down permanently. Or for longer. Which puts civilians in great danger. The intent could also be to cause civilian suffering. "NATO officials emphasized that allied planes had not destroyed the installations. Instead, they dropped "soft bombs" that spewed strands of carbon, short-circuiting the electrical transmission equipment." "Diplomats also indicated that they wanted to limit the effect on civilians. Because Yugoslavia provides power to neighboring countries, NATO also does not want to completely disable it, according to NATO's military spokesman, German Maj. Gen. Walter Jertz."

  879.  @TheFlagUnit  Dictatorships haven't either. But they have increased misery. And have nothing to do with the issue. Latin America has usually fought very hard for its democracies. And the circumstances of its dysfunctions don't come from democracy. It usually comes from attempts to subvert it. Nor is that conducive because you're saying it's okay to oppress people. You can get all the same results without oppressing people. You can have a law abiding society while not oppressing people and having a dictatorship.
    1
  880.  @TheFlagUnit  also there's no abject poverty(or not just). It's more developed than most countries in Asia, especially southeast Asia. So you kinda have a wonky idea of Latin America, and Asia. They're more equivalent. There's just like three countries in east Asia that are different and two of them are democracies.

The only reason it did is because it wants to project itself onto it's neighbors. It doesn't matter where NATO is when they aren't enemies. The established order would have respected it's borders. it would have no threats from that side. Russia decided it wanted to be a bully. And in that decision, it made all the other countries in the region it's enemies. And even then, people were so reluctant to treat Russia as an enemy. Russia wasn't cornered. It wasn't forced. It's a bad neighbor. And a hostile nation.

  921.  duncan smith  again, pro Russian people talking about democracy is a joke. Protests are a part of a healthy democracy. Holding politicians accountable, the rare times it happens, is wonderful. Those people fought for their democracy. Because their president was moving them away from it. Russia is not where you go if you value democracy. It doesn't contain democratic values. It's because you don't understand how a democratic country is that you think that way. Or because you're paid or a bot ECT. Something like 30% of the donbas is ethnic Russian. How is having respect for democracy an ethnicity thing? And why would Russians, who don't have it be the ones to know it. Crimeans were invaded almost immediately.

Russia had all the time to solve any dispute. Or to not care about them at all. Or to become friendly with other nations. It chose the path to kill as many people as possible on both sides. Ukraine didn't do that, Russia did. Russia chose this war. A war that's hurt the Russian federation's people.

  929. ​ @johnadam2885  you're mistaken. Ukraine declaration of independence had no clause or anything about neutrality. Two, that wouldn't matter, because that isn't a clause. Independence is for the state itself, not a contract. Ukraine independence is not predicated on Russia. Russia has just violated a country's sovereignty. And as said before, continually broke it's word.

  930.  @Dan-Martin  It's not a benefit for them. And a lot of them have been injured. And a lot of them have died. For a gamble that might amount to nothing, and made the nation criminal. What in this war would have affected unemployment? The millions who've left Russia? This war has just hurt Russia's population issues. Ukraine followed Minsk. No one else did. That's why it fell apart. Russia certainly didn't uphold it's agreements or try to get it's proxies to. If Russia has to save face, I can't think of a better option than to say a lost is a win and wash their hands of it.

  931.  @johnadam2885  the budapest memorandum has no such wording in it. Russia doesn't own Ukraine independence. Russia recognized Ukraine as an independent country, that's it. How they got to it was by Ukraine giving up it's nukes. It isn't independence if someone owns it. That doesn't even make sense. What you're saying doesn't make sense. Think about it. I don't believe anyone could look at the Russian position, and think it makes sense. Because it's impossible. Ukraine didn't misbehave because it did nothing to Russia. Russia on the other hand, has misbehaved because it keeps trying to steal territory from Ukraine, and undermine it's sovereignty. Edit: and Russia went back on its word to not attack Ukraine in any manner.

That never happened and that's not how it works. China does not have any particular right to annex a population that doesn't want them. Hong Kong and Taiwan are not the same. Hong Kong was under the Brits. Taiwan is under its own government. By its own people. I'm familiar with Chinese propagandist and they claim china taking Taiwan's seat. But that has nothing to do with recognition of Taiwan belonging to China. That's that the PRC, which controls most of china(of what was china, land wise), gets the right to call itself china and get its UN claim/seat. That's a separate issue from the fact that china split during a civil war. The easiest equivalent is Korea. Except the land is lobsided. And saying Chinese aggression is valid, is as crazy as saying north Korean aggression on south Korea is valid.

Other than it's ego and theft.

  964. You can't bring the attacking side to the table where it just wants it's win conditions. The positions aren't neutral like with Israel and Iran. One is an invader that is trying to take territory, and change the government of the other. That's why the positions can only be neutral once Russia is pushed out. That's when Russia might finally agree to stop instead of to win. Right now the only peace Russia accepts it's capitulation to it's demands. Surrender. Which would essentially be subservience.

  997.  @tomtube1012  Important distinctions: Not the Chinese side but that both sides claim this. Meaning it so acknowledged the Taiwan claim at the time. The issue being how both governments maintain this. The use of acknowledge just means that the US placates the government without giving into the demands. "The United States acknowledges that all Chinese on either side of the Taiwan Strait maintain there is but one China and that Taiwan is a part of China." This is how you twist information, misrepresent it, to misrepresent what the situation is. A communique isn't a treaty. And obvious the US position with Taiwan shows otherwise than the US thinking it isn't its own thing.

It's wrong for Taiwan. It's off for the US. I'll guess what your UN point, that mainland china(PRC) is the the government of mainland china. That has nothing to do with Taiwan. I just checked your comment and I was right. Again you are misrepresenting it. Starting with your whole comment about some ancient china having Taiwan while ignoring the reality of the situation and the relevant history that happened to give them a separate government.
    1
  1003.  @tomtube1012  then you really misrepresented the US view by not including the information I mentioned before. If the US view was that china can do whatever with it, we wouldn't be having this talk and it wouldn't be an issue. The US has a certain ambiguity to maintain relations with china. But it's acts and the recent promise of the president, make it clear that the US views Taiwan as capable of making its own decisions. The UN view isn't neither clear nor universal. It merely gave the chair of China to the PRC. That's all.

The other are two countries that broke after a civil war, decades ago, almost a century. And the previous, rightful government kept a small peace. Whatever reasons led to this, it's long ago. And it would be china invading a country to take it back. They would be the expansionist here. One is also currently a democracy that can represent it's people.

Like where and how did you guys come up with this fairy tale China that is a saint. So if he's talking about to china's allies it won't do this, which is BS since china has pretty much betrayed everyone, then the US wouldn't do this to it's allies any more than china would.

That resolution only made the people's republic the representative of "China". Those are the rights it's talking about. And the United Nations seat that the ROC had earned. A billion people who have little say in their government, definitely shouldn't have say in a different government represented by , and representative of, different people. This is only an issue of the state party. any Chinese person is just towing their line. It's not a government formed from their(the people's) desire in the first place. And average Chinese person has no reason to care about Taiwan. Also, practically(in reality), they are two different countries.

That makes no sense. Armed people took over those regions with heavy firepower from Russia, and the back of Russian troops.

It seems like you're saying let's ignore all deaths so that this one, involving Russia, doesn't make them feel bad about being bad, and bad towards the Ukranians. You don't care about children dying and you think no one should care. Because it might make people feel bad if someone showed they cared now but didn't know about some incident before? Or they did care but since you didn't know about it, it doesn't count. You're saying let's ignore these deaths because as far as you know, in your very limited knowledge, no one ever felt bad about a child's death before.

How can Ukraine colonize itself, since the issue was that one leader tried to over turn the parliament and people stood up for their democracy. Russia tried to make a Ukranian president a puppet.

  1152.  @jazzytimes2373  except that's not true. And it's not self defense to attack someone that wasn't going to attack you. And NATO tried working with Russia. In fact, the EU also tried working with them. There's no real reason for Russia's actions other than ego or an attempt to grow using military force because it can't handle that it isn't the Soviet union by a few old warhawks.
    1
  1153.  @jazzytimes2373  It wasn't, and it doesn't have to be. The irony is that Russia is creating enemies for both it and the world and leading the world to it's current heighten state. NATO was keen to establish a friendly partnership with Russia. Usually NATO doesn't act without UN approval, which Russia has influence in. That aside, Russia has nuclear weapons. And currently NATO isn't intervening yet despite Russia's actions. Russia's threat is that it wouldn't be able to attack it's neighbors apparently. Like what proof is there that NATO would be a threat to Russia? Especially when it was willing to be partners with it. As well, NATO wouldn't be popular if Russia didn't make it appealing by being threatening to it's neighbors.

  1154.  @bgdabg6769  Then disprove what I've said I'll disprove something you said. Russia went into Ukraine. Ukraine didn't go into Russia. NATO didn't get Ukraine to go into Russia to attack it. Western countries are helping NATO because it's the victim, and they're allies. And maybe it doesn't hurt that they aren't happy with Russia when it comes to aid. But NATO didn't start this as a proxy war.

  1155.  @jazzytimes2373  Iraq wasn't NATO. Are you happy now, knowing that NATO wouldn't do that. And you've got it backwards. After the Soviet collapse, other countries were welcoming of Russia.

Why not understand other people like that. Why can't you put yourself in their shoes.

  1160.  @daelundrumavidem8033  Democracy is about representation. Minority rule is a lot worse because the interest of the majority are overruled by the few. Let's distinguish between two types of minority. The fewest people, and ethnic groups. The good thing about democracy is if the ethnic groups have equal representation, then they can group together. You'd have politicians appealing to everyone and ignoring one group, that another politician can court. Because people would vote for their interest of not being mistreated. You can also have principled and legal safeguards. And of course minority groups will help them be made. The ethnic majority will too because of principles, and because a general law that affects everyone means it safeguards them as well.

  1161.  @daelundrumavidem8033  there's no should. democracy is a process. The result is democratic because the process is democratic. People voting on an election has a democratic result.

And of course the process is the most important part because it's democracy. The process of democracy is more important than the process of authoritarianism. The result is a separate thing that matters based on what is trying to be accomplished. While you argue for authoritarianism, Russians are getting suppressed from their protests. A minority in terms of ethnicity and power are getting jailed. While an authoritarian regime does what it does. Same for the uyghurs.

We're also not dealing with a single individual. That's also the difference of a dictatorship vs an actual country where people define it. Hypocrisy isn't admitting to a mistake and trying to change because you think something is right or wrong. Any country can be wrong and hypocritical at moments. But it can also be right, and try to change. And you don't have to be perfect to point out where a country is doing something wrong.

And one US flag alongside Georgian and EU flags. But the people burning EU flags are just regular people. And the government officials who are going against the will of the people to vote to Russia are just doing it out of thin air. And all those people, even among Europeans, are controlled by the CIA? It is an over dramatization. It is a dangerous insinuation that could lead to crack down of freedoms.

This wasn't a clause but Ukraine's own idea to express it was doing this to be like the non aligned movement for the time. That is separate from when they became fully independent. While they referenced that previous thing. It wasn't a clause. It wasn't an agreement with anyone. It was separate from independence. And independence isn't conditional. Russia agreed that the country of Ukraine existed. It had nothing to do with the Soviet Republic thing. Which itself wasn't a deal with the USSR.

It wasn't trying to. Russia had already attacked Ukraine. Ukraine had to start asking for help, for protection, for security guarantees. You're also calling other countries thugs and aggressors. When none attacked Russia. All were doing business with it. Ukraine wasn't in NATO. And due to the previous beating by Russia, couldn't even join it. Think about what Russia has done to Ukraine before and now. Think about what Russia took from Ukraine. And the self satisfaction it's showed from ripping a part of the country away with Crimea. It liked it so much it went back to feast on Ukraine with the donbas. Think about the country suffering that.

  1433. Russian coping or Russia lying? It was theirs. They were part of the USSR and inherited it. It was not Russia's. Nothing you said implies any of that. Whether they had to switch controls or the expense would have been a lot. They did give it up instead of taking control of it for safety because they were given a guarantee.
    1
  1434. @GlobalCitizen_y2k  Wrong. The agreements prove that they didn't which is why they needed them to gain things back. Each independent country inherited what was in its territory as is standard. The Nukes were Ukraine's. That's not up for debate. It was reality. This revisionism is nonsensical.
    1
  1435.  @GlobalCitizen_y2k  yes wrong. And misunderstanding something. None of that says Russian owns Ukraine's nukes. Because it didn't. Logically why they had to go through new agreements on them and negotiate for them. Ukraine was a successor state to the USSR. Which stopped existing.
    1
  1436. @GlobalCitizen_y2k  because that's not how it works. There's multiple successor states for different things. When a state splits up, the successor states often still have the treaties unless they're former colonies. You're issue is you think you know it all but don't understand how states gain things and you didn't bother to learn it. I looked into and don't see how it relates to your incorrect point. While Russia gained some USSR things, it didn't get to keep those former territoriesthat became successor states themselves, and independent, sovereign states. You need to learn about partial succesorship

  1446. But there's also a need to protect people. So that reaction needs to be very cautious. And very justified. And in general it's bad for a political party to disparage other groups of people based on characteristics like religion. Make sure that thin line idea isn't just what the government says a lot to ingrain it in people, or a flimsy justification. And like you said, for a healthy democracy, push back is good. If those people feel aggrieved they should push back. With everyone making sure the government isn't using it's power unfairly to influence that pushback.

  1475.  @Rachel-wz9cj  blah blah blah. Lying like your doing is why people want to ban social media. The US didn't lead any coup. It was violent in a civil protest way, not violent in a military sort of way. The government wasn't installed but continued and then there was a quick election. Russia did not support peace. It wanted a conflict. As it did in two other conflicts. As it did when it snapped up crimea. As it did when it armed the militia till it actually did overthrow the civil government and took the choice away from the people of the donbas. So the only violent coup was backed by Russia, involving Russian agents, soldiers, and weapons, organizing it. Russia did not do anything to follow the Minsk because Russia didn't care to resolve this. And the separatist junta committed terrorist acts. No one rejected Minsk. It fell apart because Russia and the junta didn't follow it.

This wasn't the people that decided to do this. The military wanted to. That's the biggest kind of corruption. They had the power, and wanted to abuse it. They didn't like what they were told to do and wanted to do what they wanted. A junta doesn't solve corruption. It is just the worst kind of corruption.

And you can find articles on it. "LVIV, Ukraine (AP) — Ukraine could declare neutrality and offer security guarantees to Russia to secure peace "without delay," Russia wanted to carve out Ukraine.

  1528.  @tomic369  Seems true. not a single law happened to suppress them since none went into effect. Most people in donbas aren't Russian. The issue wasn't about being Russian. The issue wasn't about Russian culture ect. There was a civil disagreement. If you call that suppression than Russians in Russia are insanely more suppressed. When some people became armed militants, then they had to be stopped. Which didn't involve any political suppression. And wasn't by ethnicity. Right now Russia is suppressing tartars. Russia is suppressing Ukranians for being Ukranian. And even your comment is denying Ukranians their identification, and supplanting it with Russian. Everyone in donbas is Ukranian. Most of them are Ukranian by descent. Russia has put down actual political and peaceful protests. It's put down armed conflicts or Chechens that don't want to be Russian. and is suppressing a cultural distinct people, various.

And if Russia hadn't invaded there wouldn't be a war right now. there's nothing good about surrendering fast. Russia is winning so slowly that it's essentially not happening. They gained ground after 6 months of Ukraine being under supplied

That government lost to the Taliban..that government ran.

Russia decided to be antagonistic. There's no helping that. Russia's values don't align. It doesn't make sense to let them take eastern Europe, just cause they might dislike china in the future. And China isn't doing anything as bad as Russia.

  1663. ​ @garys6135  obviously they can. Minus some issues, they'd enjoy more freedom and a more robust democracy than under Putin. The idea that they can't is hogwash. There were other regions with flare-ups that calmed down and things were fine. Only Russia's actions have caused perpetual war.

    1
  1665. ​ @dark_master_Makei  he didn't illegal come into power. He very much legally came to power. Just because there was no procedure doesn't mean it's illegal. Just means they had to make it. One president vacated the office, when he has promised to resign. Then they appointed someone. Then they had elections. Like the commenter said, if it was a coup, it was one that ended immediately. But it wasn't a coup, because it was the Ukraine government that appointed an intermediate president. The government was not couped.

Whatever feelings of ownership they have over Ukraine are wrong too. Another difference with the Cuban missle crisis you like to bring up, other than how they were nuclear missiles, was that it was actually happening. Russia attacked based on an idea that only came about again because they had already attacked. The first attacks were because Ukraine was looking to make a deal with the EU, not NATO. There's no defense of Russia here.

  1681. That goes against NATO. But this has almost nothing to do with NATO. It has to do with Russian manipulation and ego. Russia was losing influence in a region it feels it has control over. But that's false. Ukraine is a sovereign country that wanted to have closer ties to Europe. That's why Russia invaded since the first time. When it's manipulations failed. When Ukraine tried to not be corrupt. Russia hates virtue and ideals. It likes corruption and authoritarianism. It hates that it can't manipulate Ukraine. Putin wants to gobble up former USSR countries.

  1753. ​ @washuneluvhada7616  some..meaning two or 3 dictatorships. Maybe Brazil's president who sounds confused. Why do Russians think the "global south" would support this imperialist war. This war where someone is trying to re-colonized or re conquer a territory trying to be free.

  1754. ​ @Gerrard_Pike2008 the vast majority of experts conclude that Russia /ossetia was responsible. So why focus on one report. The difference is how much. They engineered it, they planned it, and they "provoked" it with attacks. It's described as a trap. The reason the Russian reaction is described as too much isn't because it was allowed to some extent but because it doesn't make sense compared to what Georgia did. It was the ossetian/Russian side that broke the ceasefire. Because they wanted to provoke Georgia. what the other comment said is also true. Georgia was dealing with itself. Which means Russia didn't have that excuse. Saying the war started by Georgia is inaccurate unless someone is saying that this action is what caused Russia to invade. But Georgia was responding to attacks first. "The shelling of Tskhinvali by the Georgian armed forces during the night of 7 to 8 August 2008 marked the beginning of the large-scale armed conflict in Georgia, yet it was only the culminating point of a long period of increasing tensions, provocations and incidents" In other words, the beginning of open conflict. Provocations and incidents here being attacks, and bombings of villages in Georgia. That report also says there were non peace keeping forces from Russia before Georgia did anything.

Russia sent in weapons, it's own soldiers, and even army, to create this conflict. The Ukranian response to fight an insurrection isn't unusual, to fight terrorists isn't unusual, to fight a foreign presence isn't unusual. And Russia did far worst to people that had better cause in Chechnya. Who actually wanted independence. As oppose to Russians agents trying to take over a country.

Russia is in the wrong. It has to admit that to itself. And reach out. That's Russia's own fault. But people forgive. The entire cold war, people were willing to move on. It was Russia that decided not to move on. It might take just one of the actions I mentioned. You can't expect the Ukranians to forgive right away. But they will leave the Russians alone.

He was killed while performing aid work/journalism ect. it's possible it was a young child killed by a missile. And your implication is a possibility. But there are so many more. If you think he was a Hamas fighter or something. As another comment said, that's not how the word is used in that part of the world. My guess is her child died.

  1860. There were two reasons. One was just for cohesion. It serves to keep cooperation and peace, and to prevent them getting invaded. Also, after the soviet's fell, Russia stopped being the enemy. That's why they've been so pleasing to Russia. They were trying to make sure Russia didn't go the route of the USSR as an enemy, or another NK, with its Nukes. They wanted an ally. Its why they got complacent. At first they thought Russia was going to become a capitalist country and that would solve it. They thought they'd follow international laws and could be talked to.

The strategy to focus on a kids career/education has kept mutating on itself. Its gotten worst over time. to the point a lot of parents sort of infantalize kids. what the lady said about people waiting for kids isnt unusual. But thats a strategy taught to them. And we see it isn't actually that good at a societal level. most of our parents who did college got married earlier in their careers, or during college.

A bunch of china YouTubers were thinking of leaving the country with their spouses and did. I also knew a guy who lived there and he left too, also with his Chinese spouse.

  1900. ​ @PlaYer-sn5or  it's funny how you copy pasted eerily similar info to tomtube and even listed like his. It's also funny that you're also confirming the separation of them as different countries. Btw Japan gave the land by to the ROC. And the PRC never had it.
    1
  1901.  @PlaYer-sn5or  1)I implied you're both farm trolls. 2) it gave it to the ROC after the split officially. the old government kept that land anyway. And the current China never had it. Seems simple to me. They aren't the same country due to a civil war. It happens.

  1902. You can't focus on anything while your house is on fire. You put the fire out first and then focus on the cause. Destroying democracy is resetting everything. And back to the building block before you can start fixing anything. Democracy is step 1.

  1922. ​ @marklee8512  leave china alone to take over? How beneficial, how one sidedly beneficial. The situation with china is exactly the same as Korea. Both claim right to the territory of the other because they were one country. As someone else said, the PRC never had Taiwan. The ROC did have the mainland. Taiwan shouldn't get the mainland anymore than Mainland china should get Taiwan. Taiwan is a de facto country. It is a state, with a government and territory. It is not a political party, currently in power, or anything like that.
    1
  1923. ​ @DK-yz9xk  they don't matter. Because china isn't a democracy. The PRC wasn't elected. And Taiwan has its own government, and it was never a part of the PRC. If you're asking Taiwan to join China, then it is 100% solely upto them.

  1949. ​ @user-sk6qj9yf6w  you're in denial. Russia is crushing the protest. It's trying to crush the sentiment. That doesn't happen in the US. If it did, there would be outrage.

I can tell you the US is nowhere near as bad as Russia here. US bases are on friendly countries at this point. Via agreements. Like Russia used to have in Crimea. The US has gone over 100 years without an expansionist war. But most importantly, this isn't about the US. It's about Ukraine.

  2061.  @LaHayeSaint  Russia didn't seek security. It sought control for it's ego and because it didn't want to just develop it's economy. Only reason small countries join NATO is because Russia attacks them. Russia was under no threat from NATO anyway except it didn't want to lose the ability to attack and control these small countries.

  2062.  @user-g5xnx7gjqb  examples from two centuries ago isn't common. It's barbaric. Ukraine did nothing to it's Russian speakers. They had a Russian speaking PM. These Russian speakers were in a country that is more democratic than Russia, considered more free, with less repression. And whatever problems they had, they could have handled through the legal system. The only thing that happened is that everyone has to learn Ukranian, and it was the language of the state. And that was partly because of situations exactly like this. Russia was trying to fragment the country using language. But no one that spoke it was troubled and they could have privately used it, taught it, ect. And maybe that wasn't great, but the Russian speakers weren't oppressed, or slaves or anything.
    1
  2063.  @guywebster8018  again, two centuries ago. The barbaric brain of these supporters. WW2 changed how things are done.

  2064.  @luchomscyfy  the separatist didn't abide. The Russians were supplying them. And what does it matter if Ukraine abided or not, it was an internal problem, unrelated to Russia as stated by them and you. Russia had no business getting involved. And absolutely no right to act about whether it was or wasn't.
    1
  2065.  @luchomscyfy  I didn't say shouldn't. I said it fell apart, and that's grounds to throw it away. There's no abiding a broken agreement. And most importantly, it's not business of Russia. “I think if you look back over the requirements established in the Minsk agreements, three agreements over the course of several months, it is a fair assessment to say that Ukraine has sought to move forward on most if not all of them, while Russia has made good on virtually none of its obligations under Minsk,”
    1
  2066.  @luchomscyfy  it shouldn't have to be anything for Russia to respect a country's border. But it shows how Russia's word isn't worth much. No poll showed that those people wanted to leave Ukraine. Instead a militia, with Russia backing, and Russian troops, militarily took over. That's not the people, that's not a democracy. Ukranians lived in a country that by every measure, was better for human freedom than Russia. Wait to be massacred... What a joke. Russia destabilized and made their region a war zone. Russia did that. Again, Ukraine has a better human rights record than Russia. What awaited those people was democracy, and peace. If Russia or the separatist terrorists had let it. Russia brought war and conflict into Ukraine and the donbas

Dictatorship countries don't understand democracy well it seems. Why it's wrong to invade; because it's wrong. It's wrong to attack an innocent, non invading people just because you want their territory. Because Taiwan is democratic and you'd be going against the people's will.

  2130. ​ @hatchxable  he wasn't overthrown. He was already quitting for being a sell out and unlikeable. Russia must have come up with his plausible deniability exit. Maybe he wanted them to invade and install him. He left his seat. Then they had elections after an interim. That dude sold out his country so bad even his own party didn't like him. The maiden wasn't a thing that took over. The government was the same representative government. And that didn't give Russia the right to invade Crimea, or the donbas. Those are excuses after the fact. After they interfered in Ukraine's government. After they decided to invade and just start grabbing what they could. After they decided to have a conflict to destabilize Ukraine. Maybe inspired by their situation in Georgia and Moldova.
    1
  2131. ​ @hatchxable only people taking their rights are the Russians, and the militants. The undemocratically elected militants who overthrew the government. The militant, terrorists, who work for a foreign power against their country, being opposed by the state makes absolutely total sense.
    1
  2132. ​ @hatchxable  the maidan was not a coup. It was a protest. It wasn't western. It was Ukranian. Russia was the only one resorting to wars with proxies in Ukraine.
    1
  2133. ​ @hatchxable  no matter how you try to justify it. Ukraine is an independent country. And Russia is the aggressor. It started a war to illegally take the territory. It started interfering. It used proxies to destabilize. And it invaded. Ukraine is a country. Recognized, and Russia invaded those same recognized areas. That Russia itself recognized twice over.

  2134. ​ @hatchxable  your argument isn't valid..it has nothing to do with Russia invading Ukraine.
    1
  2135. ​ @hatchxable  They didn't want to be invaded. Almost no one wants to be invaded. Almost no one wants someone to invade their country. If there were people sympathetic to Russia, a lot of them lost that. Relating to it, and wanting to be invaded or forced are not the same thing. Russians, Putin, as undemocratic as they are, didn't understand. You don't understand. How that kind of issue is resolved. And how a democracy works.

  2136. ​ @hatchxable  all the ethnic minorities prefer Ukraine. Ukraine has been decent on that. The tartars are the most pro Ukranians in crimea.

  2137. ​ @hatchxable  no one has the right to start a civil war. I'll say this too, the majority of ethnic Russians didn't want Russia to invade. They are Ukranians. The percentage of people who are pro Russia is insanely small. The people who supported Russia were not a minority group, but a minority of people period. The use of violence in any country is usually illegal. Insurrection is usually illegal. And selling out your country to another is illegal.

Not a separate thing. It is Ukraine. And it was taken by force, which is also illegal.

And those countries sided with India against Pakistan just the same, in various disputes. And I was just talking to someone about the aid given. You're being a bit delusional. Pakistan was given support so that they didn't rely on Russia. India was offered that same support for that same reason. But international incidents were judged on their own merits. Often siding with India against Pakistan. What you're doing is letting a bias and a weird team mentality cloud both your personal morals, and the actual history.

  2217.  @yami6499  I'm saying that to you as an individual. Again something you don't seem to understand. And you can easily look up US aid to India, and the history of the US and other countries supporting India against Pakistan in their dispute. As well as being allies right now, both economically, and against china. You're denying reality. And somehow, losing your individual identity, if you have any, and supporting something awful, for no reason. I can't tell EU and US anything because they aren't people that can be talked to. They can only be spoken about. So why are you, as an individual, okay with horrible actions.

But there were times the US helped India. Times they disagreed with Pakistan. I think some comments are trying to make it out like the US hated India. Or maybe they're transferring feelings from Pakistan. The U.S had wanted to be partners with India from the beginning.

Elections were held. 3) Russia had interfered with their president before the protests. 4) Russia invaded Crimea 5) Russia staged a coup. See how Russia does something and blames the West. It projects it's actions. The people in the east didn't try to defend themselves. Russia was supporting right wing groups for years to destabilize the country. These groups overthrew the civil government and ruled by force of arms, supplied by Russia. With Russian agents, or appointed people ECT. The US or any other country(except Russia in some small regions) didn't gain control or even try to gain, control of the Ukrainian government or people. So how can you say it took control? It didn't. The Ukranian government didn't change, it always has control. It lost some control because of Russia's destabilization and because of irs invasions during that time. So this idea of a western government gaining control is nonsense. There was no military or agents or anything(except from Russia). And Ukraine stayed in control.

The people who fought them were also from the donbas. The ex president wasn't overthrown because he wasn't removed by force. He failed his country and was asked and was going to step down because he was a disgrace to his country. Then he ran to Russia presumably so they would install him, or they asked him. He was removed by the government of Ukraine. All the same elected people, through a governmental process. And Ukraine followed Minsk 2, Russia never did even though Ukraine made the agreement with Russia. Russia doesn't see itself party to it so Russia can't claim anything over it. It fell apart because the separatist never followed it, Russia never followed it, only Ukraine followed it. And everyone always brings up all the broken promises of Russia.

  2392.  @udayfluer3744  there's huge differences. NATO isn't a country itself and has no goal to expand ECT. Look at NATO operations and they are much more controlled. They really are more defensive. Humanitarian and peace keeping, usually with UN approval. That means it isn't as selfish as a single country. More oriented towards defense. NATO has broken this but generally, NATO is much better, and much more restrained than Russia or any single powerful military. Only time they broke this was to make sure someone that already did a genocide, didn't do another. Now this can be criticized twice over. But it isn't the same than an expansionist war, or an interest war.

They were still honoring agreements with Russia at the time. You see how it's Russia interfering?

They don't even officially have the same name, republic of china vs people's republic of china. That's like getting upset that people call China china instead of the people's republic of china. It isn't constructive. They were always two separate governments that claim each other's territory but don't have control of the claim.

Maybe eventually, there would be a big enough force to support publicly but now is not it. Or maybe the military government can eventually be convinced to give power to civilians.

  2429.  @wirasanjaya4517  You must reasonphobic. Ukraine didn't use force until Russia invaded in self defense. If joining NATO was a threat, why is no country except Russia viewing it as a threat? It's not a threat. It's not valid. You can't attack people for joining an alliance. And that's the lie Russia uses. The truth is Russia wanted control over Ukraine. NATO just stops that control. That's Russia's real gripe with it. That doesn't come from self defense. Your defence can't hinge on controlling and taking away or sabotaging the sovereignty of nearby countries. Russia and NATO were cooperating. If no country is planning to attack you, then it's not valid. And Ukraine joining NATO didn't pick up till after Russia decided to invade.

  2469.  @michaelhuang7842  is having that agency consistent with a single country? Taiwan does have a foreign minister, a different government, that allies itself with other countries because it fears an attack from the PRC. Why ignore these other things? Obviously the history of the region is why it exists, as well as the issues and conflicts with China. Including it's former claims to the mainland.

  2470.  @michaelhuang7842  I've literally said that. They claimed each other's territory and view each other as illegitimate, exactly the same as Korea. But Taiwan has moved away from that. At this point, Chinese aggression is the only thing from establishing peace, and solving the issue.

    1
  2485.  @frankun8755  it is a kind of nebulous but it's a combination of things. In modern times, a legal basis helps but that doesn't always go well for a break. Other people have described it. An independent government, its own money. The fact and reality that it operates as one, as a separate country(de facto). And the lack of claim by China(or anyone else) to the territory except the people of Taiwan. And most importantly, the way the people view the situation. Which is in line with the UN's right of self determination. We can look to the history of Taiwan in particular, the Chinese government that became Taiwan. Which is separate, and rejected the rule and take over of the PRC. The PRC didn't get control of Taiwan. The PRC's claim would not be greater than ROC's. But the people that live there recognize themselves as a different country, and/or not part of the PRC. It's the same situation as any country that was formed after a civil war, including the US. In this case though it's the PRC that essentially split from the ROC. You technically don't need recognition by itself. It helps legitimize a country. I just looked up a definition: a nation with its own government, occupying a particular territory _ It doesn't say anything about recognition. Popularity. Ect. At least the very first one.

  2510. How do you propose it's ended? Russia won't quit yet. No one wants to help Ukraine militarily directly. Best course would be to give Ukraine an over abundance of weapons. And hopefully they can retake their territories with good strategy. And then countries help them out by intervening. They should intervene now with at least keep the skies clear. Alternatively, Ukraine needs to be in a very strong position to negotiate. And Russia will never admit when that is. Anyway the decision should be Ukraine's. Russia is putting up a mirage, a screen. It took its economy into the haze of war. They might be at the edge of collapse, or they might be fine. If Ukraine hangs in there, they might make Russia have to quit.

  2520. You can definitely make.the argument that it's authoritarianism vs democracy. Russia attacked Ukraine for it's democratic /European leanings, to install a more authoritarian government(and it seems they were angling for that possibility in 14, and did do it in the donbas). And just because India doesn't say anything, doesn't mean that they aren't wrong. Whatever their perception doesn't mean it is reality. They might just not care. I do understand that maybe it isn't conducive to her idea of rallying around international law instead. She seems to view it as a better rallying point, and I'm not arguing it isn't. But you can't deny it's an authoritarian government trying to destroy a burgeoning democracy. And the leanings of a democracy are what's causing Russia to dislike it. Russia doesn't like Ukraine not being under it's thumb. And Russia is authoritarian. Democracy itself makes Ukraine more separate from Russia. Russia definitely wants to curtail Ukraine's democratic development. and encourage authoritarianism.

The PA has also been willing to negotiate but they go nowhere. And Israel doesn't want them to go anywhere. You're just finding ways to justify Israel's wrong doings. Verifiable, and condemned since they did it. It's been considered illegal from the moment they did it. And the UN has voted and said it's been illegal. Edit: Let's be clear about something else. They have no chosen to be under occupation. They didn't have a referendum on staying occupied because they're treated so well. They have never ever chosen that. This isn't some Puerto Rico situation. They've made it very clear that they dislike this occupation. Israel has chosen to illegally keep them and their land occupied.

  2624.  @afcgeo882  I looked it up. It's a different but funny enough, also calender related reason. Western churches calculated when it happened using the Hebrew calendar. Eastern churches used the Greek. It resulted in a different of March 25th and April 6th, and then they guessed Jesus was born 9 months later. Which results in the two dates.

  2625.  @bhaashatepe5234  no they didn't. In fact most were Russian speakers themselves. And Ukraine had and controlled parts of the donbas. And had Russian speakers throughout the country. And hadn't attacked them before(the other Russian invasions), including in Crimea.
    1
  2626.  @afcgeo882  I'm telling you I looked into it and it's unrelated to that. I'm not saying anyone knows when he was born. I'm saying that's how they calculated their guess. And they ended up with similar dates. This was before anyone switched calenders. It's unrelating to the switching of the Gregorian and Julian calenders. I thought the same thing at first because of the term old Christmas. But the eastern churches had a different date for it even before the calendar was changed(I don't know the history of the Russian church or which explanation fits them better). I found an explanation for that. And it's that the way his birth year was guessed used a different calender in the first place. They basically just went 9 months back from his death. Here's the passage: Around 200 C.E. Tertullian of Carthage reported the calculation that the 14th of Nisan (the day of the crucifixion according to the Gospel of John) in the year Jesus diedc was equivalent to March 25 in the Roman (solar) calendar.9 March 25 is, of course, nine months before December 25; it was later recognized as the Feast of the Annunciation—the commemoration of Jesus’ conception.10 Thus, Jesus was believed to have been conceived and crucified on the same day of the year. Exactly nine months later, Jesus was born, on December 25.d [...] But instead of working from the 14th of Nisan in the Hebrew calendar, the easterners used the 14th of the first spring month (Artemisios) in their local Greek calendar—April 6 to us. April 6 is, of course, exactly nine months before January 6—the eastern date for Christmas _

Ukraine was so independent that Russia couldn't control it. That is exactly why this isn't like Afghanistan and won't have the problems with that. We have a government and people who stand on their own and want, on their own, to embody these values.

As someone else says, do the western leaders alter this somehow. Is the point that western leaders were happy for them?

Language and culture were not being oppressed because no laws went into effect about it. The people weren't arguing about culture. Odessa thing was that pro Russians invaded a protest and started a fight where they started throwing molotov cocktails, turning the whole thing violent. It's a shame but it wasn't something anyone wanted. And they tried to help them.

  2788. ​ @jfarm30  It's not one or the other. And obviously the china and Russia approaches are worst. No one is trying to make some world government per se right now. They're trying to create a rule set that de escalates. It's why the UN was formed. That's the current system. Yes it's back by a lot of power, including the US. But the US isn't trying to region control the world itself or anything. As bad as the US is, it's not that bad. And the Russian and Chinese alternative is worst. Something like regional polarity would be something like NATO and EU. The African Union, ecowas, sica, celac ect. That would be a worthwhile multi polar world. Which people are and have attempted for a long while.

That stability of government is worth it. Two years seems endurable. But this looks like it will be a very important protest regardless of that outcome. Pressuring the government is usually good.

  2821.  Geba  that's not what happened. Russia sent people in to the region to destabilize it. Then bombed the region, then missled both sides. Militarily took over the region regardless of what the population wanted. Threw out it's government. Displaced the people. Had armed people walk around. And even then, there were almost no deaths because that cooled down. There was no constant bombing. And we know Russia isn't peace loving as they've invaded multiple countries with this same tactic, including Ukraine.

  2822.  @АртемАртем-л4э  the people from the donbas that were displaced are still in Ukraine. The people in the donbas were not attacked, as Ukraine still controlled areas there.

If China wants some conditions or whatever, that's fine. As long as it's an agreement to leave Taiwan alone or recognize it. But china is infringing on recognized sovereign countries. Everyone's best bet is to show a united front until this imperialism period of China passes.

  2847. It can always be a war crime..that's why NATO had to be cautious and go around telling people about how cautious they were. There's criteria when it isn't a war crime, and when it is. If you do it just because, to harass a country, then it's a war crime. If it affects a lot of civilians, and you're trying to inflict damage on them, and suffering, then it's a war crime. NATO constantly stressed and made sure the damage wasn't going to destroy their electrical grid. Also you can find articles from last year when Russia was doing this. So this isn't a first time thing. But a sustained thing. One that maybe doesn't have any military advantage, which would make it a war crime. That's for experts to decide eventually.
