    You say in the first sentence its a mistake to see him as a normal head of state. In the second sentence you give the similiarities and paralleles to other heads of state. You forgot to tell where the difference is.

    Most others have honor and conscience. All of this is unknown to Putin. His only concern is his ego as a great dictator. Trump as president was like that too. :(

    Kiev was the capital of the Rus when Rus Grand Prince Vladimir the Great Christianized the Rus in 988AD.





    Sounds good to me :)

    Makes up for the last time around when Russia sided with the damn-Yankees.

    The article says that ten political enemies of Putin died mysteriously.
    I doubt America snuk into Russia and killed the only people who could
    have challenged Putin.
    I had a Greek friend who told me for YEARS that the assassinations of
    NATO and American officials in Greece was carried out by the Americans
    to discredit Leftist groups there. Sounded balmy to me. And then one day
    one of these Marxist guys was wounded when his bomb went off as he
    carried it. This Greek had the honesty to apologize she had been wrong.

    Now there are people saying that UK or USA are doing the same in Russia.
    A big fat no. If you believe that then YOU are drinking the Kook-Aid.

    Texas was pretty much an outlying province of Mexico throughout most of its history and the settlers there were as many Americans as Spanish when they had any non-indigenous people at all. (the Comanche and Apache indigenes were not at all friendly). In the early 1820's they tried to revolt from the Spanish on their own but made common cause with the Mexican revolutionaries against the Spanish at first and then decided to become their own country once again (largely because the Mexicans wouldn't let them keep slaves) before they became part of the United States after 9 years as an independent nation (thus precipitating the Mexican-American War)

    Freedom of navigation is one of the reasons you have a navy.

    I don't know. China is on the march.
    There are few things more dangerous than generals without a war:
    “Raise your flagons, boys!”
    “To bloody wars and dread diseases!”

    Oh, please--take a few deep breaths. The U.S. and Russia aren't going to nuke each other over the Ukraine.
    The Russians know they aren't going to be allowed to reconquer countries on their borders.

    And the latest, is that classified British military documents have been found over what Russia's reaction might be when the destroyer enters what Russia considers its territorial waters. Supposedly the document was found at a bus stop, but it appears to be authentic since the Defense Ministry said that an employee had reported the loss of sensitive papers.

    Then again knowing the British government and its deceptions and lies, it might be a false document that was made up to hide the real reason for entering the waters near Russia's naval base at Sevastopol.

    My opinion! If the document is true, the stupidity of the British in thinking that Russia would react any differently than it did. Either London like Washington is believing too much of their own lies and propaganda and it's warped their reasoning, or the British wanted Russia to hit the ship so they could say they were not warned, and were forced to respond militarily.

    Russia made a deal to leave the Ukraine alone. They welshed. Apparently, you think that's okay.

    But what if the Russian people living in lands that were always a part of Russia, want to join the Federation as protection from the imposition of the US and EU's liberal totalitarianism and atheist ideology?

    Don't you think that people everywhere should have the right to their own self determination?

    Anyway a bit of reality here. Russia has made it clear that if Russians in neighboring countries are hurt, they will retaliate - and believe me they have the power and determination to do it.

    And Ukraine made a deal to be a democracy and they welched when Nuland and the Nazis overthrew the legitimate government and imposed a fascist government.

    The only thing the Brits have done right in recent history is Brexit. Nigel Farage said it best, Boris Johnson is an idiot. Of course, his idiocy stems from the thought of having NATO to protect his dumb ass. This provocation....a planned stunt with journalists on board....is just one more reason NATO needs to be abolished. A Cold War relic that has now morphed into a liability, not an asset.

    With NATO gone, I suppose the Brits could be backed up by the Royal Scots Navy. :roflol:

    Speaking of Cold War Relics....I can see a lot of commenters are still living in the 1970's. One day maybe you'll wake up and see reality on the ground now for what it is. If you want to know what the aggressor looks like, look in the mirror.

    And they welched again and continue to do so on the Minsk Agreements that they agreed to. If the Ukies just lived up to their word, then the conflict in Eastern Ukraine would be over. But oh no, the little Nazi-run Kiev government wants some of that U.S. taxpayer welfare. **** them.

    Self determination is one of histories worst concepts every.

    Stop projecting! Russia has a free press, we don't!


    [​IMG]

    They project! you project!
    It's what some do!
    And cannot see what's right and true.
    But only see themselves in you.


    Yet they should know
    that what they say,

    reflects on them in a bad way.

    For others not a fool will be
    to fall for their projectory - Jeannette

    Being my first post was deleted for calling a spade a spade I suppose I will be a little bit mor PC and repost my point.

    This is the attitude which allows communists to throw their weight. To run like a dog with its tail tucked isn’t very American or supportive of allies now is it.

    Your Russian thug buddies said they would keep their hands off the Ukraine. They lied and you ignore them breaking their promise.
    What on earth makes you think they didn't?
    For the Brits, mission accomplished.
