There is no serious similarity yet many appear to fear that he will act in a similar way. There is a well documented neo-nazi problem in the Ukraine. Fixating on the fact that the term "nazi" originated from and explicitly German political party avoids the point of substance. Is there any country without a neo-nazi problem? Russia certainly has one, one that's been cultivated by Putin to negate his liveral detractors. So much for de-nazification. The so called "far-right" polled a mighty 2.15% in the last Ukrainian election as opposed to AfD multiple times that in Germany. I look forward to the livestreaming of the Red Army storming the Bundestag in order to save humanity by de-nazifying again. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As well as a strip of land connecting these areas to Crimeria and that part of the Black Sea coast in the Southeast. They will not allow the Ukrainian army to build up any sort of powerful resistance or potential threat, hence they will continue to lay waste to rail tracks, roads and airports, as well as targetting military-related installations all across Ukraine. They have the means and use them. They could use rather different means though, and I don`t mean weapons of mass destructions, but stuff the US used from day one in Iraq. Had the point of the exercise been in fact to "secure" Donbas and Luhansk then that on itself could have been accomplished relatively quickly and at a lot less cost of blood and treasure. However megalmania trumps logic. I think the myth of Russia’s military prowess and capability has been destroyed once and for all mainly by Russia itself. Won't allow them to build a powerful resistance really? Tell that to Russia's growing army of widows, fatherless children, sonless parents etc. Putin’s domestic success has caused his apparent failure in Ukraine a bittersweet irony. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why do they feel they need to take action in another country? There is still a neo nazi problem in Greece - are they going to take it on themselves to sort that by invading Greece? Who appointed them the worlds "nazi patrol" ? Is the so called nazi problem larger than the problem of Islamic fundamentalism?

Our masters don't get to decide Russia's vital strategic interests until said masters execute a colour revolution there. I'm not sure why you mention Greece. Are our masters destabilising that country by flooding it with weapons? Are our masters using it as a pawn against a nearby opponent? 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certainly not set against the unlilmited immigration the liberals have allowed since 1997 - just look what is happening in Sweden just now. Russia is more of a bully taking advantage of a situation. The West is destroying itself from within. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please, please, please reread the comments. Focus on the contents and block out your imagination. I have enough patience to wait for you to understand.

I'd rather debate the substance, but at times the sneering condescension in your posts is only matched by their vagueness. Don't worry. Notice the care taken to commend only that single comment. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
