It only takes one to invade, that's like saying Iraq was responsible for US invading them. And yes, Ukraine did nothing, Russia encouraged separatist movements and used it as a pretext and now they are attacking regions beyond those separatist regions. And this is not the first time for Putin, he wants to bring back the USSR which he said so himself and has tried it with other neighbors.
He doesn’t want USSR, it’s people like you who say this after they read mainstream media. He wants Russia to be respected, which is not the case, which has not been the case. You loved Eltsin’s criminal Russia, yet you despise Putin’s “criminal” Russia? Know why? Cause they said F U, not going to have it on your terms. And then Russia is the villain again.
lol what about ... what about ... what about ... ?!? this thread is about criminal russia. and where i live is not important.
What about? Of course, because you do not have any answers. West is just as criminal, so it doesn’t matter where in the West you live, it’s highly hypocritical to judge and not be judged for same actions, that’s the reason for what about that you hate, cause you know it’s true.
Putin puts people in jail for simply saying there is a war going on, what's so respectful about that? Putin doesn't respect his own countrymen, their freedom and liberty, why does he expect others to respect a country that doesn't respect it's own citizens?
The answer is simple. First of all, internal politics are up to the people of Russia to sort out, they shouldn’t be influenced by the US like what happened in Ukraine. The US has friendly respectful relations with quite a few undemocratic countries and mainstream media doesn’t criticise, why is that? Double standards. So it is perfectly acceptable to respect one nation and disrespect another for exactly same actions and at times worse ones. And what about Israel? The US looooooovvvves Israel. When it suits. I don’t see you participating in a thread against crimes of Israel.
this is just sad and i feel sorry for people like you because you have no idea of things like rule of law, etc. really - this is so sad. and maybe this is the reason why a country like russia is simply not fit for something like democracy at all.
You are not answering my question, why should a country be respected when it's own citizens are treated like criminals for expecting basic freedoms. And I am not defending Israel, what has that got to do with anything. Also, Russia is friendly with Israel in the same way US is.
What makes you think you can shove democracy down the throats of other nations? What if they don’t want democracy? But it seems that you get to decide for them and when they refuse you use proxy armies to overthrow governments. That is well democratic!
Why should other nations respect a nation that built its economy at the expense of slavery and up to now has not bothered to officially apologise for it? This is a Jewish answer, with a question.
