    To begin with, you should show where the nonsense is. Or did you write in order to write at least something?

    Are you a big expert on prisons, cannibalism and methods of murder because you are a historian? Or is it your genes?

    The nonsense is that Russia is not the aggressor in this war. It certainly wasn't the Paraguayans who sent troops, armor and air power into Ukraine. But you already knew that. Asking was pretty silly. Wouldn't you agree?

    Of course it will increase. The West needs a ruined Ukraine to try and complicate Russia's budget. It was obvious from the very beginning.
    This is done in order to withdraw Russia from the imminent open confrontation between the United States and China.

    There was two tribes, neither of which intended surrendering but would fight to the finish.
    Think it was about 4,000.
    A remarkable story of aboringes who learned fire arms and infiltrated townships to fight.
    They aint quite extinct - I am 1/64 Tasmanoid myself.

    But this has nothing to do with the invasion of Ukraine, other than to distract.

    ps what happened to the Russian ManYak ? He's the guy who said his country would
    never invade Ukraine. Is he here under another name?

    Conspiracy theories. Arrant nonsense.
    The USA wants Ukraine to be a part of the EU, just as it wanted Russia to be a part too.

    Can you tell if any of the Memorial people, dedicated to studying the Soviet archives,
    have yet been arrested?

    He’s posturing. I call his bluff 110% if we intervened just in Ukraine and didn’t attack russias borders I don’t believe he would do a thing

    I doubt that. But if it were true, then avoiding confrontation with China is certainly a worthwhile effort. Perhaps you have failed to notice that the entire planet is on the side of Ukraine in this Russian adventure. It will not go well for Putin or Russia.

    The world has came a long way since then. That kind of brutality is gone in first world countries.

    Russia funded the other side. It’s all about war games with any big country. The difference is Russia came into a sovereign country without being attacked or even threatened other than their desire not to see NATO expand. It has nothing to do with threats to them.

    I was not interested in this issue. I only know that one person, an employee of the Memorial, was arrested for pedophilia and distribution of child pornography. But that was last year. The memorial was not closed then. More, in my opinion, no one was arrested.

    Are you not reading the comments above? I have repeatedly written that Russia is not supported by the minority of the world's population. China, India, Pakistan (more than half of the world's population) support Russia, Latin America supports Russia, Africa supports Russia. Some European countries (For example, Belarus, Serbia) support Russia.
    Residents of Italy (pictured a rally in support of Russia in Milan) support Russia...

    Please read the media of all sides. And you will have objective information.
    If you are wondering why the Russians started a special operation in Ukraine, then here you can download the document.

    This 53-page document is intended for those who still have questions about why Russia is conducting an operation, against whom and against what. When you study the materials of the crimes committed by the Ukrainian fascists, remember the materials of the Nuremberg trials and compare.

    The Balkan war began to involve NATO when NATO troops were involved in enforcing a UN resolution. This was not a U.S. war. It was a NATO and UN war. As a NATO member we were required to participate in it and we did so. I understand the Russian fear of NATO but Russian behavior caused the creation of NATO in the first place. Putting up a magazine cover to somehow deflect from the invasion of Ukraine doesn't work. Neither the US nor NATO were involved in the invasion. The U.S. didn't start the Balkan war. The problem is in Moscow.

    It isn't true. The U.S. has been involved in many conflicts around the world but only a handful were actually initiated by the U.S. They were minor things for the most part in central America and the Caribbean. Most of our involvement in conflicts have been to defend other countries, not attack them. Your pie chart is nonsense.

    I ignore what governments say. They all lie. Governments, including ours, are not a place to find objectivity. I'm not interested in Russia's excuse for the invasion. Actions and activities are what matter and the invasion is a very bad thing regardless of the reason.

    I don't doubt that there are groups of people in every country that support Russia in this but they are a tiny minority. These Italians are probably afraid that Russia will close the natural gas spigot. Suggesting that this group represents the Italian public is ludicrous. But you knew that as well.

    You don't have to make an excuse. Nothing to play with terms. Everyone understands everything.
