Judging by the West's rhetoric and actions, they want to severely weaken or even destroy Russia but without getting US troops involved. If Russia is such a weak country, then why doesn't America try something directly? We know America has no problems fighting wars and killing millions of people.

Generally bad form for two nuclear armed countries to come into direct conflict. Don't act like the Russians hate proxy wars or something because lol.

And WTF, you just fucking said this in the Israel thread, make up your stupid fuck mind.
A temporary ceasefire is necessary at this time. A ceasefire is temporary peace. The situation is bad in Gaza. Bondage will remain because Israeli occupation is ever present.

Look at each situation on its own. Period. Peace and freedom are abstract things people talk about. Tell that to the suffering peoples of the world, many of whom are victims of Western imperialism, including Palestinians. Directly in this case.

fskimospy, a ceasefire at the expense of temporary bondage is worth it at this time based on the events taking place in Gaza. Many Palestinians want this. Does that answer your question?
So let’s talk about this - do I understand you to be saying the Palestinians should surrender?

If so this is at least logically consistent. You want both Palestine and Ukraine to surrender in order to save lives. Can you confirm?

Well, to be honest, it would be very easy for Russians to smuggle thousands of people in through the very porous US borders. Many Chinese, Indians, Latin Americans are already coming in. And we know in the past that Mexico has gotten along with Russia. Let's not even talk about Cuba, which has soldiers fighting in Russia. So you are right, Russia can do a lot if they wanted to. I don't think they do at this time, hope that continues.

No, hell no. I never said this so stop it already. Palestinians deserve to be free of Israeli occupation immediately. But thanks to US aid and weapons that cannot happen. Thank you America for helping Israel commit genocide.

In Ukraine, the US meddling has prolonged this war. But again, two different conflicts. The Ukrainians are not living in situation like Palestinians. The Ukrainians, for the most part, have electricity, water, sewage, food, etc. They can freely travel in their country, fly out, fish etc. Palestinians are denied all of these things. And their entire land has been taken by a country, sponsored by the West for its own brutal genocide. Ukraine was a part of the Soviet Union and was an important part. Lots of industry was based in Ukraine. Even their former Soviet leader, Brezhnev was born in Ukraine. Totally different compared to Israel-Palestine. And if you want to go back even further, many Ukrainian cities were part of Russia, etc. There is an interconnected history here. Does Kieven Rus come to mind for you/

Why are you bringing Ukraine into Palestinian matters? Does Ukraine revolve around your head so much? We can talk about Palestine in the Gaza thread please. We can talk about the destruction of North Gaza and forcing people south. This thread should be about Ukraine. I know you are trying to catch me and make a point but please, lots of stuff happening in this evil world to be making political points.

I’m just asking you to apply consistent principles.

You’re whining because you’re caught being a hypocrite.

I know this but a country has its own foreign policy, just like America has its own. Should other country's foreign policies be discarded?
No country's foreign policies should override another country's sovereignty. If Ukraine wants to be a part of NATO that's their decision to make, not Russia's.

It's not just Avdiivka, which is being fought for:

Near Marinka, which is close to Avdiivka, Ukraine is losing a lot of ground there. Even NY Times is reporting on this.

Marinka is not far from Vuhledar, another Ukrainian town.

The whole eastern part of Ukraine is under big threat. Russians are pushing in different places now.

Another NY Times story, this time about Ukraine's hard time finding men to fight:

So Ukraine is trying to prevent Aviivka from falling but at what cost? Severely outmatched. This shows how important Avdiivka is for Ukrainians.

You make good points, like I said that is Russia's foreign policy. They deemed Ukraine's entry into NATO as such a severe threat that they launched a military campaign over it. Ukraine can do what it wants but Russia had made it clear in the past that this would not be allowed. You might not like their foreign policy but that's what it is.

No he meant make up your fucking mind because you're a hopeless hypocrite. You brought Gaza into the Ukraine thread and here you cry about someone bringing Ukraine into the Gaza thread. Do you always just play dumb when people call out your hypocrisy, or is it your memory just really is that bad?

Great job in bringing Ukraine to a thread about genocide in Gaza. You Ukraine fanatics don't care about no one else's suffering but want to make everything about Ukraine. There is a world outside of Ukraine.

Come back to the Ukraine thread, you might get educated there. Have some respect for this thread.

It's hard to keep track of your posts when all you do is talk shit and lie, isn't it? That's what it looks like at any rate.

No, I brought Gaza up in this thread because someone here brought it up. I always said keep these two conflicts in their respective threads, as a sign of respect. But Ukrainian fanatics have Ukraine on their minds, all the time. Look at my initial posts in the Gaza thread where I said to not bring Ukraine into the Gaza thread. But you won't do that. It's OK.

So Israel thought the Palestinian policy was unacceptable. You might not like it but that’s what it is.

As someone with consistent principles this should be fine to you.

Palestinian policy? They have no state, no military, no international recognition, no access to even the sea, no free air travel, no free travel even between the territories, etc. Their food, electricity, water and sewage are all controlled by an occupying power, that is backed by the world's biggest empire. What the hell are you saying?

Ukraine is an independent country with probably one of the best armies in Europe. Last I checked Russia was not doing any of the above listed things. Last I checked Russia was not just created by the UN in 1948 and then an ethnic cleansing was done for the newfound state. You are something else, seriously.

A foreign policy that results in the entire west rallying against you is a bad foreign policy. It's bad by every measurable standard. I don't give a shit if Putin hates the west, hates NATO, hates everything western society stands for. All he had to do was deal with his own problems in his own country, NATO would have left them the fuck alone as they had done for nearly a goddamned century.

NATO was trying hard to get Ukraine as a member. Is this not so? And if this is the case, then Putin says its a threat. He sees it that way and many Russians see it that way.


At one point Putin was a pro-West person but some say the West pushed him away. They viewed him as a threat rather than a potential partner. But Bush wasn't that bad with him. Bush even said something like "I looked into Putin's eyes" and they had a decent relationship. Obama and Putin did not get along though and that's when the Maidan coup took place. Coincidence? Who knows.

NATO is always seeking allies against aggression. It was literally created to prevent the rise and warmongering of another Nazi Germany.
And if this is the case, then Putin says its a threat. He sees it that way and many Russians see it that way.
Probably because Russia is another Nazi Germany. Anyone who sees smaller, 'weaker' nations working together as a threat is the bad guy. Notice how the US doesn't give a fuck about other nations forming coalitions, alliances, pacts, etc? Besides that, Putin's master plan to push back NATO is to attack a neighbor that's bordering NATO? The only two possibilities is either he borders NATO because he won, or he borders NATO because he lost. Big brain move there.

Putin could have sat in his palace, getting blowjobs from third rate Russian sex slaves and letting his people rot. He'd be a piece of shit, but a piece of shit with his palace and sex slaves and rotting population, rather than having a target on his back from half the planet because of a culmination of his fuckery.

When will shits like you realize nobody wants Russia, not even Russians. You really think NATO wants anything to do with it? Russia has nothing to offer that any other country does better.

Such passion from a Ukraine fanatic! Now imagine if you people had this much passion for other people of the world? I guess they are not European so you guys don't care about them.

Regardless, you are just spouting typical talking points with very little substance. I have nothing to say to any of those ridiculous talking points. I mean Russia has nothing to offer? Wow, the country with the most natural resources in the world? Ok then.

You guys believe what you want. We will see where this thing does in Ukraine. I can say with almost full confidence that Russia will not lose.

I wish maybe you guys can use some of that love for Ukraine for compassion for other parts of the world too. There are other conflicts happening that we can pay some attention to, even though they are not European peoples.

All I’ve asked of you is to have some basic consistency. When confronted with that you said you didn’t want to.

Thats fine, but surely you can understand why we don’t take you seriously. You view things emotionally as opposed to logically.

Ukraine cannot be a NATO country according to Russia's foreign policy. That's what they decided. If you continue to ignore that, there will be conflict ... hence conflict in Ukraine. Simple as that.

I am trying to give you the reality of the situation, not whether I agree or not.

Russian aggression against it's neighbors is pushing countries to join NATO that are nearby Russia. Look at what both Sweden and Finland decided after decades of staying out of NATO because of Russian aggression.

If they were to annex Ukraine, they would add 3 new NATO nations to their borders: Romania, Hungary, and Slovakia. The Russian assertion that they are trying to take over Ukraine in order to keep NATO away from their borders is fucking preposterous. Given that they have already triggered Sweden and Finland, this has been a colossal failure for Russia's stated goals.

It is and always has been about grabbing land and resources through force. Morality be damned.
