You can't see this contradiction

Yawn.

Look, if what is blatantly painfully obvious to me is perplexing and obtuse to you, we can't really have a conversation can we?

Time will play out.

I'm not kidding when I say I don't believe anybody can really sincerely have the thinking and beliefs you claim to have. I can't believe in this conversation that you're being honest, I can't believe you're not actively lying.

If you are honestly believe that Victoria Nuland was picking the next leader of Ukraine BUT the US wasn't instigating a coup, you have a mentality I cannot access or comprehend. This is like saying "vaccinated people are 10 times more likely to die of heart disease, but the vaccine didn't cause it".

You engage in levels of denial that I could never engage in, even as a child.

Time will play out. When this stupid fucking war that the US created by overthrowing the Ukrainian government and installing a puppet asshole leadership in an attempt to weaken the Russian state ends and there's a clear outcome, then I'll remind you of this whole fruitless conversation I've had with whom I consider a propagandist, or a true moron.

What's that a picture of?

Grozny, circa 2000, courtesy of Russia which according to you is completely different from USSR.

Why is it on on black and white film using silver halides? That was the technology that was being used in the 1940's. I used to work for RCA. Black and white photography died out before I was born, in 1971.

The Chechen war (conflict?) happened shortly after the USSR collapsed. Again, the assholes in charge then were still mostly communist fucktards that got to their position by being loyal communists, not by being competent. The USSR collapsed because it demanded before competence, obedience. It's the same reason the US is going to collapse. Moral people just opt out.

richwicks says

happened shortly after the USSR collapsed.

False. 2nd Chechen war started when Putin was in charge first as Prime minister then as President. 1999 was 8 yrs after USSR collapsed. I think you simply can not accept that Putin is a genocidal maniac who killed people by hundreds of thousands.

@richwicks

You failed to counter my points and instead just keep babbling, attributing those points to "beliefs". Learn the difference. I'm being factual, and my question (the one that you keep dodging) is based on easily available information. "Beliefs" is your prerogative, and quite limiting at that. This time around those beliefs lead you to join the ranks of proper scum.

We'll see in time. It would break a 20 year losing streak.

If you want to prove the official US narrative about gravity wrong, I can recommend a bridge or two. Something not too high, because every village needs an idiot.

Something not too high

It is pointless to argue with willful blindness and abject lack of knowledge about post Soviet space, like thinking that Crimea is 90 pct Russian ethnicity, Sevastopol is Russian only port on Black sea, that Budapest memorandum should be ignored or does not exist, that Russia can do whatever is in its interests while rest of the world cant, no Russian invvement in 2014 attacks, + wrong predictions such as Russia will not attack Ukraine

The Chechen war started in 1994 and I don't believe that's a picture taken in the 1990's.

Bd6r says

I don't care if he is. I have had 2 presidents that were both genocidal maniacs that killed people by the millions.

Putin is not a problem for me. This asshole is a problem for me:



That's the threat to our way of life, our freedom, and sovereignty. Putin is Russian's problem.

Why should I care about another nation's leader? Putin is not destroying the United States, the assholes running the United States are destroying the United States. We have DOMESTIC enemies, not foreign ones.

mostly reader says

I don't read your "counter points".

I have concluded that your thinking is not worth considering. I base this on your acceptance that Victoria Nuland was picking the next leader of Ukraine 2 weeks and 4 days before Viktor Yanukovych was ousted, but you deny there was a coup by the United States. I'm at a loss of words, literally, to try to describe this supposed disconnect in logic. I do not believe anybody can accept the US chose the next leader of Ukraine more than 2 weeks before the "revolution" (which you do) yet deny the United States had nothing to do with this destruction of the government to install the new leader, that they picked. I can't believe anybody can have this level of cognitive dissonance.

I don't care about your, hypothetical "thinking", at this point. I do not believe that your statements are honest. Trolls work for free, propagandists don't - but neither care about reality. If you are a propagandist, what does misinforming and lying people do to improve our society? You listen, don't you - until something comes up. Explain to me the utility of convincing the public of a lie.

If everybody was certain that Ukraine was in the right, and that Ukraine would win the war, in the United States - how does that change anything?

I'm concerned when my government and it's media puppets lie to me, that's all.

And yes, this is a picture of Grozny circa 2000, which you can not believe because of your ideological bend.

Even now it is ca. 60 to 70 pct Russian only, so fairy tales about 90 pct voting for annexation by Russia in 2014 are clearly just fairy tales spread by RT Today and some Patnetters.

Indeed. You either don't read or read and don't understand. Yet you attempt to respond to them.

Indeed. I think that in this instance it's not just lack of knowledge though.

Trolling farms from you-know-where don't really attempt to push certain ideology. Some may think that they are "pro-Trump", or the opposite, but it's a wrong frame altogether. Their main objective in the west is to compromise the fabric of society and to consume mental resources on a large scale. "Keep them busy being mad about something, pit them against one another". For that, being faithful to a specific ideology is unimportant. Even harmful. So they would have one hand supporting BLM, another hand supporting KKK, and third hand just being equally pissed at everyone (there are indeed way more hands). As long as they stir shit.

Which is why I would expect it that quite a few of the BLM or KKK operatives are sponsored from oversees, and I'm very curious about the role of China and Russia in the recent events (something that I may never know).

Now, I don't know the role of the persona in question. It may be just a passionate useful idiot (this is a reasonably small forum after all). But the profile fits: lots of passion, lack of substance, "everyone is an internal enemy", support of Russian aggression in Ukraine (that's one thing common in all the categories because the stakes are so high), long quotes, attempts at visual persuasion (images). Plus, the time spent on all of that - makes you wonder if the person has a real job.

To each his own. But you are right about futility of arguing with him. Whatever I post in response is community service, sort of.

At this point, I just sort of egg you on.

In a few years we'll see the result of the Russian / Ukrainian war. It's possible my prediction is wrong, but I think unlikely. At that time either I will be saying "told you so" or you will be telling me "I told you so".

But you have no intelligent information to give me. You're a belligerent, vile human being that jealously and worthlessly guards how you form what I think at this point is laughably called "your thoughts".

I don't think anything you say is worth deep consideration at this point. You have just recently said you cannot connect Victoria Nuland picking the next leader of Ukraine to a US coup. This is so mindbogglingly stupid, I can't trust any of your logic. On one hand, you might be honest in saying this is your genuine thinking - in this case, I consider this idiocy, on another hand if you're lying, this means you're not truthful. Regardless, nothing you said should be incorporated into my thinking.

richwicks says

You have just recently said you cannot connect Victoria Nuland picking the next leader of Ukraine to a US coup.

Aren't you tired of lying?
That's not what I said (again). I said (more like implied) that connection is not there in light of other factors. I also explained what those other factors are. Other contributors went into much greater detail on that too (you apparently don't read them either)
You are a virtual equivalent of a mentally challenged child, really. Even as a propagandist you stopped being effective once exposed. Now you resort to your last line of offense - tantrums.

What I think changes nothing.

If Russia gets what it claims it wants - that Ukraine remain neutral, that Ukraine stops bombing Eastern Ukraine - what will you say then?

You can call me anything you wish, but I'm just trying to look at this situation objectively. I know people are dying, I know there's bloodshed, I want it to end, and I think the only reasonable way to end this is for Ukraine to remain neutral and for Western Ukraine to stop attacking Eastern Ukraine. How do you end the bloodshed?

There's a well defined Western idea of war. You fight a war PROVIDED you have a good chance of winning the war, and that the war is worthwhile to engage in. I think the Ukraine/Russian war fails both those tests. Russia CLAIMS what Ukraine is doing is an existential threat to it. That's their claim (perhaps lie?), but if they act upon this, it will be nuclear war before they lose, and I don't think they will resort to that.

This is nothing more than another stupid fucking war, which assholes like this dickhead:

are promoting.

You have to understand, please, these motherfuckers don't give a fuck about innocent people dying. They are using Ukraine for money laundering and they don't give a fuck if they are successful or not. It's just money laundering. They don't care.

It's said (who knows if it's true) that only 10% of the Russian military is engaged with this stupid fucking war that is being run by criminal triple and double staters and criminal hangers on. They don't give a fuck who wins. They make money off from this calamity. They don't care.

Our fucking president doesn't give a shit about the outcome. The chaos makes him money. That's our rulers.

You repeat the same debunked message over and over again. "Western Ukraine to stop attacking Eastern Ukraine" my ass. News flash: Putin started that hybrid war in 2014, and then full invasion in 2022.

I just watched Lavrov's interview with BBC (in Russian) The conviction with which this guy is lying to your face is amazing. Every time he says something that's hard to believe, I go double-check - and sure enough, he's twisting reality like a pretzel. Trouble with doing an interview with someone like him is that the interviewer can't jump online while doing the interview, so Lavrov doesn't get exposed on the spot.

Just one example. Zelensky have said earlier that if someone lives in Ukraine they live in Ukraine. If they want to be part of Russia then they better move there. Lavrov twisted it into claiming that "Zelensky said that Russian speakers are not welcome in Ukraine and better move to Russia". Something along these lines. The dipshit claimed it with a straight face.

That's how they build their talking points to brainwash the gullible. It's their specialty. What you try to present as a "sensible approach" is built up on the worldview constructed by professional liars and scammers .

What you and Zelensky are advocating is called Ethnic Cleansing. Supporting regional self-determination has long been US foreign policy. In fact, in this case is worse than Ethnic Cleansing: usually Ethnic Cleansing involves the removal of an ethnic minority from a region, whereas in this case Russian speakers who don't want to be discriminated by Zelensky regime are the majority of the region. The situation is rather analogous to Kosovo in the 1990's: the majority of locals wanted to either be "independent" or join Albania despite existing geopolitical map having that region as part of Serbia; on that occasion, the NATO intervened militarily to stop Serbia from suppressing locals. The operating theory was/is that National Sovereignty and Territorial Integrity do not trump Basic Human Rights; that is actually a good principle to uphold if/when it's a struggle between democracies vs. dictatorships. "Germany for Germans" "Serbia for Serbians" and "Ukraine for Ukrainians" are all essentially national-socialistic/Nazi slogans. The leaders of any multi-ethnic country are supposed to be accommodative to its existing populations, not discriminate against ethnic/linguistic groups within its borders.

Ohhhhh! DEBONKED!! You say it like Abracadabra. It's magic word now. Just say the magic word of "DEBONKED" and whatever you say next magically has been proven untrue.

The United States engineered a coup d’état of Ukraine in 2014. AGAIN the proof (this is not debatable) of this is that Victoria Nuland was caught picking out the next leader of Ukraine at least 2 weeks and 4 days before the previously, ELECTED, leader was removed from power. The call was made available on Feb 4, 2014, Viktor Yanukovych left power on Feb 22, 2014.

Right after that coup, Eastern Ukraine was at war with Western Ukraine:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_in_Donbas

That began in March 2014, after the coup d'etat because they didn't accept the coup d’état. That's a MONTH later.

If the US didn't overthrow Ukraine's government, there would have been no conflict between Eastern and Western Ukraine. This is obvious, but you can't see the obvious or pretend not to be able to see it. I don't know which one it is, who cares?

YOU deny there was a coup, because either you lack basic thinking skills, you just lie, whatever, I don't care. It was obviously a coup, and people who deny it was a coup are for whatever reason living in a fantasy world. The absolute, obvious fact that a coup was done by the United States is obvious. It's the most blatantly obvious coup EVER.

I'm in Silicon Valley, I have begun to use this example of the most obvious coup d’état ever in the history of the world, to detect people's level of cognitive dissonance. I have a friend, who is an MIT graduate, that can't explain how Victoria Nuland was picking the next leader of Ukraine (Arseniy Yatseniuk) 2 weeks and 4 days before Viktor Yanukovych left office, despite me giving him the transcript between Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt:

https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-26079957

He's JUST LIKE YOU, he denies it. I can't IMAGINE having such slavish obedience to the state as to truly believe them when they say 2+2=3 or 2+2=5 depending on what the state says.

You, are nothing more than a broken George Winston to me, and the same is true of my MIT graduate friend. I didn't know how few people actually had balls and a backbone, but it's been made VERY clear in the last 2 years. Anybody that told me that the unvaccinated posed a threat to the vaccinated, anybody that told me CHILDREN should be vaccinated, because the CHILD might kill 80 year old grandma, pathetic. I have a friend that is 10 years younger than me, I have stated to him outright that if his children's freedom has to be curtailed in order to reduce the possibility of me getting a fatal disease, just put a bullet in my head - as I've lived my life and his children have not.

I've struggled for DECADES to understand what a bunch of NATURAL SLAVES I live among, I had no idea. I had no idea what a bunch of pathetic cocksockers I lived among. I honestly had no clue.

We have the most obvious, blatant example of an CIA coup, and you deny it. It's hilarious. You are ANGRY with me, because I'm not such a fucking pathetic pussy that I refuse to deny it along with you. You have no freedom of thought, somebody controls it. THAT is why you're so pissed off with me, constantly. I'm allowed to do something you dream of doing, I can make an independent conclusion divorced from the stupid bullshit propaganda of my government.

In 10 years you'll begrudgingly admit you were wrong, PRIVATELY, never to me. Until then you'll repeat the lie, a lie which protects the Biden's involvement of the coup. Hunter Biden, the crackwhore, was placed on the board of Burisma on April, 2014 - 2 months after the coup. What a "coincidence!" you lie to yourself.

It's, hands down, the most blatant example of corruption in my lifetime and you pretend not to see it. It's just pathetic. You're a coward.

All I am doing is encouraging you not to be such a coward. I can do it, so can you. I don't understand what people are so afraid of. All that happens is NPC nutjobs, like you, scream at you and repeat propaganda like idiots. Propaganda, in this case, are just obvious lies. I'm more embarrassed to repeat a lie, than to call out the truth. You, are not. There's no real consequences other than you're able to detect who accepts being lied to, and who doesn't. 90% of the people I know, are pussies.

Do you hate Russia, or it's government? Who gives a shit, reality doesn't care about your feelings, and your feelings don't effect reality. Regardless of who you or I support in this stupid fucking war, won't effect the outcome of the war at all. If I was a pathetic cocksucker, I could scream about Russia being BAAAAAD and those poor Ukrainians, and so on. I could repeat the bullshit about the Ghost of "Kyiv" and those martyrs on Snake Island, I could scream about how evil Putler is and so on, like a moron sheep, but it will have no effect on the outcome of this conflict.

I'm only interest in how my stupid fucking incredible government lies to me and secondarily, how many people have absolutely blind obedience to them, no matter how fucking stupid the propaganda is. You're a slavish obedient. The levels of absurdity people will go through to defend the madness, it's hilarious.

The US doesn't support regional self-determination. Isn't Afghanistan, Pakistan, Somalia, Libya, Syria, Iraq, and Yemen proof of that?

The US will cynically claim regional self-determination exclusively when it's in US foreign policy interests. They entirely ignore it otherwise. The US doesn't care about self-determination although it's claimed to be a fundamental human right. The US doesn't care about human rights, just ask the people who were protesting a stolen election of which 800 are in prison right now.

Zelensky have said nothing that would align with "removal of an ethnic minority". His message was clearly about the country in which those people live. Then Lavrov turned it into something that it wasn't (hey, I saw this pattern before! among some of the contributors here, no further) In his usual "pee in your face and tell you that it's raining" kind of way.

I'd think that it would be too much even for him to continue yapping about suppression of Russian language. Since Russian-speaking people of Ukraine kick ass against the Rashists on the battlefield. But no, let's not those little inconveniences get in the way of good propaganda.

You are no different than a fact checker that makes a false claim then swears it's true. All you do is destroy your reputation.

The United States overthrew Ukraine in 2014. We know this for a fact because Victoria Nuland selected the next leader of Ukraine. The war in Eastern and Western Ukraine happened only a month later. The new US puppet leadership of Ukraine then began making open statements of joining NATO although neither Germany nor Italy would ever permit it.

This indicates that if the US didn't overthrow Ukraine there would have been no civil war and Russia would have never invaded Ukraine to end the civil war and to keep Ukraine out of NATO.

The war could have easily been prevented but now that it's happened, you stupidly side with the assholes that set the grounds for it. Russia will win the conflict and the result will be a lot of dead people, that didn't have to die. It's unlikely Russia will be weaker as a result, but that was the hope of the United States.

mostly reader says

you respond to me without reading (as you self-confessed),

Your thinking is so disjointed, so absurd, that if it happens that you were to write something that coincidentally turns out to be correct, it would poison my thinking.

Your logic and reasoning is so bad, I consider anything you write as being from a madman, and madmen can be correct occasionally. I don't want to dismiss something that is true, just because a crazy person wrote it, because you wrote it. You have consistently shown you have no regard for reality.
