merkel shoulda used the time of the minsk agreement to get off russian gas lol

ok heres the plan boys, we're gonna set up ukraine to fite teh russians in the future, a war in which russia would be our indirect enemy. and in the mean time lets build some gas pipelines to russia and make our who industry, economy dependent on this enemy

I guess the arguments against that would be it may tip the Russians off and it would help them harden their economy against sanctions by forcing them to develop other markets. Turns out they did this anyway, which is good evidence I think that Russia is not as neo-liberal (as Michael Hudson recently said, a synonym for banker directed) as it's made out to be. From what little I know it's a mixed economy with a significant amount of state control.
I don't buy this level of forward thinking from European leaders but it's possible they pushed Minsk at the behest of the USA and that was the reason they were given at the time.

If a judge refuses to rule on any substantive issue, ever, his only recourse is to remove advocates from the room until they stop arguing the issues.

Having said that, I think it might have been defensible, and at least would have limited the damage from the war and given Russia more moral authority, if they had limited the operation to guaranteeing the security of the republics, moving regular forces within their territory and acting from a defensive posture. A pro-Russian rebuttal to this might be that this would simply trigger more extremism and more Western arms being sent to the Kiev government, and that only toppling the Kiev government and installing a friendly one would have managed to secure the separatist regions in the long term, but they have failed to do this regardless.

More like would just have given Ukraine even more ability to continue to build up forces and doing attacks outside of this theoretical small security zone that doesn't even include the other pro-Russia/ethnically Russian areas where they would continue to be abused and murdered without reason. I'm not sure what parallel universe Russia would ever have "moral authority" in doing any kind of armed action because the entire west had already spun up the propaganda machine before 2014 (Odessa massacre who?)

You guys can split hairs about calling it genocide but I'm not sure what else to call a state actor killing people based on their ethnicity and banning their language and religions. Do you also not think there is a genocide against Black Americans because of the relatively low body count? Even if you have problems with Russia or the operation you have to admit Ukraine is a nazi government. It had to stop somewhere. Laughable that it's either going too far or taking too long for you monday morning quarterbacks

It's definitely ethnic cleansing, any way you cut it.

But the liberals have completely robbed "genocide" of any meaning just like "imperialism" by applying it to whatever thing they think is bad.

It may vary by region, but in the US it primarily referred to Germanic immigrants during the Gold Rush days. "Deadwood" brought it back into the public consciousness.

Some quotes from Solzhenitsyn's wiki entry. Seems like us tankies could learn to see the good in people more.


"Yeltsin decreed I be honored the highest state order. I replied that I was unable to receive an award from a government that had led Russia into such dire straits."

Solzhenitsyn claimed the Western democracies apparently cared little about how many died in the East

Solzhenitsyn criticized the 2003 invasion of Iraq and accused the United States of the "occupation" of Kosovo, Afghanistan and Iraq.[125]

Solzhenitsyn was critical of NATO's eastward expansion towards Russia's borders.[126] In 2006, Solzhenitsyn accused NATO of trying to bring Russia under its control;

Solzhenitsyn further alleged that the theory that the Holodomor was a genocide which only victimized the Ukrainian people was created decades later by believers in an anti-Russian form of extreme Ukrainian nationalism.

I'm reading this as a dig at Anglos by calling them Germanics. In NZ it's mostly commonly applied to the Boer but I presume that's because they play rugby so we care more about being racist to them.

In Fly Molo's case it effectively means they can't come back at all due to their inability to just drop certain topics.
