    We should probably also talk about why we ever got to this point.

    Ukraine was fighting in the East and taking provocative actions against Crimea (like trying to cutoff almost all the water supply).

    Then Zelensky threated to join NATO and Putin made clear he feared Ukraine would use false flag attacks against NATO (activating Article V) to justify taking back Crimea.

    It all comes back to Crimea.
    The main reason, if one actually takes the time to talk to eastern europeans and Ukrainians in particular, is that Ukraine was moving towards a liberal democracy.

    Ukraines economic growth from being closer to the EU or even a member of that large market would mean that Ukraine's standard of living would finally measureably be better than that of kleptocratic russia.

    Putin views the very idea of democracy itself as a threat to the moscovy empire. he is right. The colonial empire they have built on multiple genocides and mass murder couldn't stand up under any kind of democratic system.




    Having a closely tied country like Ukraine being more democratic and with higher standards of living threatens that. Anybody saying otherwise is buying moscow bull .

    Man, you really take Putin's side in every case.
    It is amazing how little the anti-ukraine people really avoid this. say what you want about Ukraine, but be honest about who putin is and what Russia is.

    Imperial tzarist russia=> ussr => russian federation

    The moscovy empire changed names a few times in the last century or so, but has had to commit DOZENS of genocides and mass murders to keep that empire intact so far.

    Read through this, it shows a very consistent playbook:



    "lie about being concerned, invade, commit mass murder, deportations and bring in russian speaking colonists."

    DOZENS of times.

    No, I've said the war is illegal and I supported the original $billions sent to Ukraine to preserve a free sovereign state.

    I don't support more aid when it's being wasted like it is now on continuing a hopeless attempt to retake all territory lost.

    hater not realizing Ukraine was part of the USSR during ww2

    The russian empire is everything you claim to "hate", sucker.
    Randomnazi with the bads

    The Ukranian Nationalists and their Waffen SS (directly under Himmler) killed millions of Poles and Russians.


    These are the same Ukranian nationalists that rule todays Ukraine. (Just ask Truedumb )

    Here is some education of Ukranian nationalists and their Waff3n SS:

    From wikipedia:

    The 14th Waffen Grenadier Division of the SS (1st Galician) (German: 14. Waffen-Grenadier-Division der SS [galizische Nr. 1];[2] Ukrainian: 14а Гренадерська Дивізія СС (1а галицька), romanized: 14a Hrenaderska Dyviziia SS (1a halytska)), known as the 14th SS-Volunteer Division "Galicia" (German: 14. SS-Freiwilligen Division "Galizien", Ukrainian: 14а Добровільна Дивізія СС "Галичина", romanized: 14a Dobrovilna Dyviziia SS "Halychyna") prior to 1944,[1] was a World War II Nazi German military formation made up predominantly of military volunteers with a Ukrainian ethnic background from the area of Galicia,[3] later also with some Slovaks.[3][4]

    Wächter approached the Ukrainian Central Committee, a nonpolitical social welfare organization headed by Volodymyr Kubiyovych which supported the idea of the formation of the division.[14] The Ukrainian Greek Catholic Church demanded the presence of its chaplains in the division, which was usually not permitted by the SS. Thus the Ukrainian division along with the Bosnian one became notable exceptions.[citation needed]

    The division enjoyed support from multiple political and religious groups within the western Ukrainian community.

    Responsible for the mass death of millions of Poles and Jews.

    Employed Hitlers "Final Solution" in Ukraine.

    "
    https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/14th...(1st_Galician)




    The Ukranian banderists that current rule Ukraine are followers of these nazis.

    Thus why they chant "Slava Ukraine" ( fascist chant)

    And sing "Bandera is our Father"

    Dude, he didn't want "neutral" he wanted UKR to be part of the russian empire again.
    I don't care about what Putin's pipe dreams may or may not have been. His clear goal in this war was to neutralize Ukraine and end the relentless fighting in the East.

    He knew trying to occupy the whole country was a fantasy then. It's even more of a fantasy now, so he's not interested.

    He didnt moron.

    He sent 50 000 troops there to force a negotiation from Kiev. Which worked and eryone was ready to sign the paper until Bojo and NATO said fcuk no. "We got ur back Z."

    Kiev has like 3 million people for christ sakes.

    Youd need at leas 1/2 million troops to take it and hold it
    Hater is an idiot with worse takes on war; dumber that than ducks!!!!

    Thinks putler invaded Ukraine from Belarus with 50K troops for negations

    Invasion worked and everyone was ready to sign papers (ask folks in Bucha)

    Idiot thinks it was NATO, not Ukrainians, that stopped putler's miles long convoys.

    Hater forgot about NATO offering Z a ride and Z replying he wanted ammunition.

    Ukraine only has 3 million people

    God damn he is the biggest idiot in all the world!!!

    How the did this ever make it into the US without drowning on his own spit?

    Kiev's population (Not Ukraine's) was about 3 million before the war. You would need even more troops to occupy the whole country.

    And now you're a racist too.

    In the end, you want Putin to achieve his dream. What's to stop him from doing the same thing in a couple more years?

    A treaty?

    We ain't no better. Look at what we did on Trump's first day, RG; threatened to blow up the White House with him, his wife and their only child in there.

    What democracy? Like in America, where the President, on his first day in office is threatened to be blown up in his new home?

    Oh, yeah, that's a real democracy there, daddy.

    So some new Minsk Agreements.

    You already admitted he broke those.

    Why will Putin, whom you've totally figured out and whose actions you can predict accurately, go along with this new set of agreements you demand?
