    Communist sympathizer? :laughing: 1980 is calling Joe......Russia ain't communist. Been there many times in the last several years...more capitalistic than the US it seems.

    How many violations would you like? The Orange Revolution. Economic sanctions against Belarus. The 2014 Coup.

    That's what the US does. They make agreements - verbal, written, treaty - whatever, and then the bureaucrats/politicians involved wipe their asses with them when they think they can profit.

    Bill, it's hard to take anything you say seriously when you keep telling obviously absurd lies, such as the claim that what happened in Ukraine in 2014 was a coup. You're parroting Kremlin lies. Why would anyone believe you about Russia being "more capitalistic than the US"? Or about anything else you say?

    As for agreements, Russia makes them in order to lull others into a false sense of security while they work behind the scenes to get what they want. This is what they did in Ukraine, making an agreement for a ceasefire in the Donbas after creating the "separatist movement" in the first place, and then worked to make it fail while they prepared the 2022 invasion behind the scenes, and now here we are. Now they want to force some new agreement on us to let them steal several oblasts from Ukraine -- oblasts that happen to give them land access to Crimea and a large portion of the Black Sea coast, including all of the Sea of Azov as well -- in addition to the previously stolen Crimea, after which they will simply undermine any such agreement once again while preparing for the next military move to take the rest of Ukraine, and probably Moldova as well. They know that as long as they can reach idiots in the west with their propaganda and buy friendly politicians such as Mike Johnson and Donald Trump to do their bidding, they can get away with anything short of launching a direct kinetic attack on a NATO member. They know they can play the long game to take all of Ukraine and probably start carving up NATO in the future as well, depending on how successful their ongoing efforts to break it up prove to be.

    Learn to read, mate. Trump said "if they don't pay their fair share". So freeloaders who don't start meeting the three guidelines. All of the Frontline states in Eastern Europe already do and most are now at or above the 2% of GDP target. There are still problems with the 20% of military budget spent on new equipment and ammo as well as the cash payments to NATO for command infrastructure as well as physical infrastructure to supply Frontline areas.

    Definite progress has been made which was the whole purpose of Trump's words. Your media in the UK seems to be deliberately lying to you about what specifically was said.

    I don't. There is no way they would do that unless they could drag the US into it.

    Not really. At least not until Russia has conquered all of Ukraine (and Moldova and possibly Kazakhstan) plus effectively ends partisan activities. The biggest danger for war is Ukraine gets sold down river to marry to appease Putler who would only take that as a sign of weakness to attack further. It would be a repeat of the appeasement policy of the late 1930s.

    True....by conquering those other areas provides them with many more resources....bodies wise anyway....to toss at further opponents. Currently Putlerstan is burning through all the ethnic minorities in Siberia and Far East....which wasn't to heavily populated to begin with. Sooner...rather than later...that runs out and Dwarfstan will need to conscript ethnic RuZzians for the meatcgrinder and that won't sit well with the elites.

    The Muslim population of Russia is twice the size of Ukraine, proportionally.

    iBelive this is the number one reason many ppl white ppl in USA and Europe are anti russian, Antisemitism never left Europe.

    And they don't consider them selves Russian either....that's why Pulerstan is culling all those Bashkirs, Chechens, Kalmyks, Buryats, Tuvans, etc....that's the equivalent of "trailer trash" in RuZZfascista.

    Are you willing to risk WWIII for Ukraine?
    One year ago Putin stressed how the West is a mortal threat to Russia:

    https://mearsheimer.substack.com/p/the-darkness-ahead-where-the-ukraine

    "'During the years that followed the breakup of the Soviet Union,' he (Putin) said, 'the West never stopped trying to set the post-Soviet states on fire and, most importantly, finish off Russia as the largest surviving portion of the historical reaches of our state.'

    "'They encouraged international terrorists to assault us, provoked regional conflicts along the perimeter of our borders, ignored our interests and tried to contain and suppress our economy.'

    "He further emphasized that, 'The Western elite make no secret of their goal, which is, I quote, ‘Russia’s strategic defeat.'"

    Russia will not accept a strategic defeat without resorting to nuclear weapons; why would anyone risk that?

    Right. Is that why all Russians iSee in MMA and boxing (that actually dominate these sports) are Muslims? Show me one, just one famous Muslim ukie..

    Face it, your hatred of Russia is based on islamaphobia

    WE ALL KNOW IT

    You forgot Usyk and Klitshkos in boxing...who were Champs. No one gave you a memo...those Muslims in boxing and MMA don't consider themselves RuZzian.

    The only RuZzian that was great in MMA was Fedor Emelianko, afaic, .....and in the end he got the $hit beat outta him in Bellator by Ryan Bader.....why a 48 yr old gets into a ring is beyond me.

    Going from UFC to Bellator was a climb down afaic....he should've retired at the top of his game.

    "Hatred of RuZzia based on Islamophobia "??

    "We All Know it"?


    Now you're shrieking....and reaching?.....is there another angle you can use?

    iCan reel off dozens of famous Muslim russians but you can't give me one ukie. Ukraine is a white supremacist rogue state that Putin has to bring under his influence for the sake of humanity.
    The best trainers are American.
    Nurmagomedov lives in Russia, the goat.

    Btw, Russia is in Europe.
