Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Try to follow the conversation.

A poster claimed the US is likely lying about the numbers of Russian troops. They citied previous US lies about the numbers of Iraqi troops in Kuwait during the Gulf War 1991.

Here is one article from 1991 where a US newspaper bought satellite photos of the area in question and had a couple satellite imaging experts review. Those experts concluded that the Iraqi troop numbers aren't even 20% of what the US claimed.

So the point here, is that the US has a precedent lying about this. We shouldn't just believe what they claim in this theatre today. We should demand proof.

Oh that scary Nancy Pelosi is already out with the narrative. Russia got scared of the US sanctions. LOL

Your lying saying there is no proof they are there .

The Russians have said publicly they are there.

But apparently you think there not ,so what the Russians are making it up

What is so laughable? Laughable because they didn't invade Ukraine or what?

The Russians have said they have troops on Ukraines borders and you are arguing otherwise .....

So what now

It doesn't matter ....

WTAF like.

The Russians said they are there ,your saying otherwise again WTAF

How does saying what you think might happen, equal saying what you WANT to happen? You should try engaging your brain every now and then. It can aid with these simple comprehension issues. lol

NATO and the west have proven that they do not promote peace in their foreign interventions.

The west has also proven on numerous occasions, that they do not understand the difference between right and wrong. So they have no business telling people in any other regions what is right or wrong or how to run their own affairs. Not to mention they're completely useless at "fixing" any of these types of conflicts. And they very often make them far worse when they try.

I mean, even look at our own little western nation. There are countless examples of where we don't know right from wrong... our judges don't understand right from wrong. We can't even provide affordable housing to hard working citizens, but yet we give free housing to people who have no intention of ever working etc etc etc... I could go on and on... These are glaring examples of how we don't know what's right or wrong... we're clueless.

Yet we are arrogant enough in the west, to think we can preach to everyone else about how much we understand right from wrong... and how we're so very certain of how they should be conducting themselves.

I'm not surprised nations such as Russia just laugh at the west, and disregard most of what we preach to them. They're damn f**king right to ignore us and run their own affairs. They don't seem to give 2 sh!ts about western opinions or judgments. Good for them I say! 👍️

It's beginning to look like what the Ukrainians have been saying all along is far more in line with the truth than what the Americans and Brits have been telling us.

The Ukrainian president said in an interview last month "The interpretation in the West and specifically the media campaign, the scare about an imminent Russian invasion, should be viewed carefully."

"This narrative is fed by nameless, anonymous officials to the media, while it’s far from clear that this is an accurate description of Russian plans."

Yeah I think I am. I'm happy to have a discussion, and I was enlightened with seeing that document from 2020 but your aggressive posting and pontification is hard to be enamoured by. It certainly doesn't encourage healthy discussion, that's for sure.

There was a similar amount of Russian troops on the border last year in Spring, it seems clear to me the Ukrainians have been right all along on this matter. This whole scare of an invasion came from the CIA with little to no evidence, they were merely telling the media what they wanted people to hear for their own benefit.

The Ukrainian president last month asked the West to stop creating panic over the situation, he said in an interview last month "The interpretation in the West and specifically the media campaign, the scare about an imminent Russian invasion, should be viewed carefully."

"This narrative is fed by nameless, anonymous officials to the media, while it’s far from clear that this is an accurate description of Russian plans."

It seems clear to me the CIA seen the massive build up of troops in spring last year and knowing this would likely happen again soon they decided it would be a great opportunity to create fear and hostility towards Russia while also escalating tensions in Ukraine to further their objectives, whatever they may be.

This poster likes to regularly post propaganda and criticise other users (see yesterday’s posts).

Case closed! Some random guy on the internet has seen the satellite images. QED.

Who do you think that this intelligence benefits? Do you think that the NATO communities want to be in a state of war with Russia? To what end? Our economies are heavily dependent on globalisation. If that falters, so too does our economy. Economic hardship is not good for any Western government. There are some major elections pending.

So, do you think that they are just coming up with wild intelligence for the laugh?

I speculated a little of this on https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/118635963/#Comment_118635963

I did not speculate if they want to be at war with Russia.

You started this discussion on a smart alec jibe about 'nuance', then it was 'you done'..my responses were in that context...my posts are not agressive, but if you followed the thread you'd note I have been subjected to a huge amount of spinning and false allegations so there's a context to my posting style.
