Russia - threadbanned users in OP

Not really sure what you mean by the 'Irish cause' or indeed the point your making, it would be hard to find many people who didn't support it, didn't Libya supply arms?

As for FDI, you're quite right they did, though their motivation for it can be debated, however it hardly absolves them of their crimes, does it? Indeed if you follow that logic in the Ukranian situation you'd be excusing Putin because of every supply!

I made no comment about cancer I stated factually and correctly that US imperialism is a malevolent force who have committed some horrific crimes in the 21st century and they are currently committing directly or by proxy similar crimes today while parading themselves as paragons of virtue in this situation.

It's not irrelevant FFS, Ukraine is at the centre of a geopolitical conflict between two imperial powers,the US couldn't give two f@cks about the Ukranian people or democracy or sovereignty and anyone who argues otherwise is at best naive and at worst dishonest.

Simple question, straight answer

Who would you prefer as the world's foremost super power; Russia or the US?

Please answer.

If you want to debate issues with me I'll thank you to not use expressions like 'weasel words' or 'putin propogandist' thank you. I've been civil to you in our dealings and this is not the first time you've resorted to such language and lies.

Secondly, I'll thank you to respond or discuss what I write and not what you think I write. I made no comment about the US being at fault for Ukraine...I have made critiques of Russia, but the point your missing is that the issues with Russia are well stated here and in the media, there's no need to add to it in any substantial way, I'm simply pointing out the hypocrisy of the US/UK and the posters here echoing their propaganda. It's valid, it's factual, it's relevant and most of all it's necessary.

Ukraine is in a geopolitical conflict between two imperial powers.

I don't understand this, who is the other "power"? I only see one which occupies their land.

Is the crux of this argument that the us have made mistakes in foreign wars therefore Russia is justified in occupying Ukraine?

I mean that's pretty weak

Lol. Sure. Now show me one state where USA or Nato or Russia "intervened" recently with a result, which was of benefit for local population.

I think you'll find I did answer, I didn't realise it had to be the answer you wanted, forgive me!

I agree completely and hopefully Russia will end their intervention in Ukraine. For the sake of the Ukrainian people.

Still trying to figure how one Poster is claiming America will create a false flag event ,

So American will create a false flag to get Russia to invade ukraine .....

Like seriously are people that desperate for attention ?

The Russian troops are within their own border.

Of course the US and NATO could spark a war. Have a look at operation Northwoods, Gulf of Tonkin.

One of the first recorded false flag operations was undertaken by Sweden to attack Russia.

American troops went into Grenada, Panama, Iraq, Syria all illegally. The US have overthrown democratically elected governments, such as in Iran and supported brutal despots.

All of us in the west have been fed a diet of American soft power culture as soon as we could walk and talk. We find it difficult to see US ulterior motives having been fed a diet of Seinfeld and Friends, the Wonder Years and Band of Brothers.

Almost all the reports we receive on the Ukrainian crisis are from the US perspective. The US presents “evidence” and it is regurgitated in the western media as unquestioned fact. Despite the massive intelligence mistakes about WMD occurring less than 20 years ago, based on a lie, resulting in half a million deaths, for which no one has been held accountable.

You seems to ignore history and try to invent some zeitgeist reality. Fact is that there was always superpower, they tend to decline and others take over... Pretty much what is happening now.
