It is not what is happening. There are new thrusts pushing deeper into Ukrainian territory. Putin is responding with more force, not less.

Good! Let Russia waste its money. Occupying Ukraine is not feasible. Best thing to do is not fall for the bait.Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View PostTo us, it is the BEAST.Comment

That´s for sure ...Originally posted by Hauldren Collider View Post
Putin AFAIK says of himself that he is a student of history ...
it is very clear that with Ukraine he more or less follows Hitlers example with Czechoslowakia and Sudetenland.
And we know that Hitler wasn´t satisfied after League of nations didn´t put up any real resiatance towards his landgrab of most of Czechoslowakia.
Fortunately in our modern intercnnected world, economic sanctions may be more helpful than they could have been against Hitler (especially considering that Nazi germany (also thanks to the alliance with russia, prior to Barbarossa) was economically much more independent than russia is nowadays)Tamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death.

That's what you implied when you spoke so approvingly of H&M's efforts. The Minsk agreement already acceded to the demands for autonomy the rebels made and that didn't turn out to be enough. Putin also hasn't conceded an inch since Russia annexed Crimea so hard to see how he's going to accept a new peace plan without yet more concessions from Ukraine.Originally posted by PLATO View PostI don't think that was quite what I suggested.

Well, what ... Hitler also played the ethnicity card ...Originally posted by Sava View Post
"our (german) people" are getting supressed by the evil czechoslowakian gonvernment and need to be protected.
The only difference being that Hitler didn´t risk a plebiscite about Sudetenland but rather chose to annex the Sudetenland right away.
Nazi-Germany even gave an example for Holiday-soldiers, with Legion Condor in the spanish civil war
But as I wrote, as yourself I think that economic sanctions might finally be successful in getting Putin to agree to a peace planTamsin (Lost Girl): "I am the Harbinger of Death. I arrive on winds of blessed air. Air that you no longer deserve."

The UK has announced it reserves the right to supply arms to the Ukraine if he decides that is what is needed. They said they are not currently doing so and do not have immediate plans to do so, but warned it may in the future if Russia continues its invasion. Further he warned the UK would take "decisive action" to prevent any collapse of the Ukrainian Army.Try http://wordforge.net/index.php for discussion and debate.Comment

A funny thing, if you look at maps of the situation at the time of the Minsk agreement and the maps of the situation 2 weeks ago you find that mysteriously during the ceasefire Ukraine made some modest gains. I'm not sure that's a very "cease-firey" thing to do."I say shoot'em all and let God sort it out in the end!Comment

It wasn't our problem when Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia, either. But then all of a sudden it was our problem. Funny how that happens, right? This has to stop somewhere, and when it does, we'll be involved. Better to do it now, before more damage is done.Originally posted by Lonestar View PostIf there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?

It "wasn't our problem" when South Korea was invaded by North Korea, but the benefits of rescuing them have been enormous. It wasn't our problem when the Kuomintang lost mainland China, but the benefits of rescuing Taiwan have been enormous. It is absolutely worth our time and treasure to keep a fledgling free-market democracy from falling into the hands of a tyrant. And that's in addition to preventing a precedent where dictators feel free to make land grabs. China's eyeballing the South China Sea while Putin marches around Eastern Europe.If there is no sound in space, how come you can hear the lasers?
