Russia

For what good morals did you grant him two points?

He hasn’t started any wars. I will give him that one point. Aside from that, he’s scum.

He has not started any wars. I don’t think anyone has been murdered, on his call.

I can give him a 1.1.

I’ve been reflecting…

I admit, I was out of the loop on all the political events before 2015 so beyond the very little I’ve read I can’t say I know much about that window of time between 1991, when old man Bush, a Republican, was president, and 2014, when Obama, a Democrat, was president. What I do know is that something happened in 1991 that started the ball rolling between the U.S. and Russia. I am also, slow, I know, understanding that the goal of Russia, that Putin made clear, was to keep America away from Russian borders. I need to read a lot more because I have yet to understand what happened in 1991. I do think Bush did something that prompted Clinton to sign something for NATO enlargement.
Anywho…just thinking out loud.

That’s hilarious. Remove sanctions on Russia but place sanctions on Canada and Mexico. lol. Wankers.

Maybe Trump saves Europe. Seriously. Maybe Trump was the needed kick Europe needed. Maybe we finally get united in a vision we want to be, Including Ukraine as our European Gettysburg if you want to see it that way. But I guess I am still too naive to believe we Europeans could finally form a Union worth the name.

That article was from a Russian source. Reuters posted a story 3 hours ago stating Trump is considering Bank Sanctioning on Russia until the war ends.

Don’t get me wrong, Trump could probably do it but that’s probably not part of his agenda and Europe is too busy spiraling deeper into a new world globalist abyss.

Well, you probably could if you would get on one side of history or the other and stay there. You can’t talk smack about Trump one day and expect to form a Union through Trump the next.

The Orange Idiot has his bestie’s back.

Pathetic. I don‘t have anything more to say about Trump. I wish I could say the Europeans finally would stand together and throw everything in to help the Ukraine defending itself and at the end also us from rogue countries like the Russians and now even the US. But I see many of my own fellow country men and women rather pretend it‘s all going to end fine somehow and rather ignore the reality. I am surrounded by sleep walkers. Planning the next vacation is way more important. Otherwise they get depressive (yes, that is how many of my conversations end when we talk about politics). This attitude makes me even more sick than having to read the news.

One thing The United States has in common with Russia that Canada doesn’t is the status of a global Super Power. China is the only other nation with that status.

USA, Russia, CCP. It is between Super Powers which excludes Canada as you come nowhere near this status or reputation.

You are not expected to understand..

Watch the Qatar’s mannerisms toward Putin. His smile. How Putin says away.
It’s the double. It’s asking quite a bit to play along with the charade and take him seriously.
The double is trying to act extra serious to earn not to ask the question.

I tried months ago. But some people here got protective.

Simple truth: “It is the Russian army that tore the guts out of the German military machine,” Winston Churchill.

Yes, after they made a deal with Hitler to part Poland and which enabled him to attack Poland to begin with. Never giving back those stolen land and having murdered many polish soldiers. Heil Stalin and now Putin.

You leave me in the odd position of defending Russia, when I honestly wish Putin would die. Still, you are misguided in attacking them on this topic.

Yes, they did a deal with Hitler, but Hitler then betrayed the Russians, attacking them in 1941. The Russians then fought to defeat Hitler. The fact remains that the allies could never have won the war without the Russians.

And as far as “stolen land” goes, those are just the spoils of war, but even if you are right, not one square meter of that land now lies within Russia. This “stolen” Polish land is now Ukraine, Lithuania and Belarus. And since the west goes on about how sacred the Ukrainian borders are, you’re going to have to decide if those sacred Ukrainian borders are actually stolen Polish land. And you’re going to have to decide if Ukraine should return that land, now. And if not, why should Russia return land it got through war?

No, give the Russians their due. They are not saints, but Hitler would have won without them.

Putin did and does nothing else Hitler did.

I get that German land fell under „spoil of wars“, but polish? Stalin and Hitler divided Poland, with Stalins troops killing polish soldiers. And hiding this truth till they couldn‘t keep it under their bloody blanket anymore. I wonder the Poles even invite Russian officials to the annual festivities. Not that the Polish were innocent. They eagerly tried to get their booty of land when Hitler attacked the Chechs.

And no, what killed the Germans was the entry of the USA into the war. That was one too many players to keep in check.

yup, you definitely sound like maga lol

This is just false. The Russians held most of the front. From ChatGPT.

Without the USSR:

  • 80% of German military casualties were on the Eastern Front.
  • The Red Army tied down millions of German troops, tanks, and planes.
  • No D-Day or Western Front alone could have handled that scale.

Western Allies alone:

  • Might have eventually beaten Japan.
  • Likely not Germany, or only after much longer, bloodier conflict—if at all.

Conclusion:
The USSR was essential to victory in Europe. The Allies needed the Soviets just as the Soviets needed Allied industry and second-front pressure.

Should the Lithuanians and Ukrainians give back the Polish land, Gunda?
