Prediction Thread: When Will Ukraine Conquer Russia

[N35t0r]

Where do I define it as can't do anything worse? Just needed that straw man?

And you go and do it again when discussing the Greece/Ottomans/Russia scenario. Whatabouting Russia's behaviour by comparing to the Ottomans, and asking whether the Greeks should have diverted any resources, and asking which is the biggest threat.

It doesn't matter. The Russians where 'bad guys' in that scenario. The Ottomans can have been as well, it's not mutually exclusive.

Similarly, nowadays even though the fact that the sole responsible for the war lies at Russia's feet, that does not mean that the US' behavior hasn't been despicable, and it bears a lot of the responsibility for the probable upcoming rise in nuclear proliferation.

Hell, your answer to how the US is not the good guys for not respecting the Budapest memorandum was... that Russia respected it even less? What kind of argument is that? Congratulations, you've established that the US is not as bad as Russia, that is still balls-deep in 'bad guy' territory.

If being the most generous benefactor literally on the world for Ukraine and then abruptly stopping and using offensively ambivalent language about the conflict makes the US the bad guys then the only difference between bad guys and neutrals (like literally almost every country outside NATO, and maybe Japan and Australia) is that neutrals never helped Ukraine while bad guys help them for 3 years and then join the neutrals sitting on their hands and using offensively neutral language to describe the cause and resolution of the conflict. I guess bad guys are just a variety of neutral state that used to be too generous to Ukraine.

If every country in the world apart from Russia were that kind of bad guy Ukraine would have annihilated the Russian invasion for more than a year ago.

No... bad guys break treaties... Use Mob protection racket tactics... Start Siding with the real bad guys... tells lies, blaming the good guys for what the bad guys did... and don't really care what Ukraine wants and instead, is trying to give Russia everything they want.

Trump is a total pond scum and is giving America a bad name around the world. How can any country ever trust us again.

Feel free to keep coming up with weird examples of why we aren't the bad guy here. We are, and that's a fact!

[Aeson]

Here's the thing so far the US bad guy impact to Ukraine is similar to if Putin had used a genie to magically make the us disappear for Ukraine. Doesn't seem especially oppressive to me.

No. No one would be accusing Ukraine of starting the war, trying to humiliate their leader, or trying to coerce the Ukrainian victims into paying $500 billion in protection money.

We are doing that. We are bad guys. You are trying to justify it, making you personally a bad guy.

If a really nice husband started hitting his spouse, would that then make him not that bad, because he was really nice before! That other guy has been hitting his wife for much longer, so it's really unfair to say they're both bad.

you were not neutral. according to russian propaganda you pushed NATO eastwars. I don't buy that there was an agreement not to so we move on to things you did.

You did help and support an ousting of the (democratically deficient) ukranian leader. You did support and helped the maidan plaza revolt. You were not an inoccent bystander.

Like the russians to the greeks in 1770, you said to the ukranians: rise up and then you abandonned them

that makes you morally repehensible.

Also the US stood for something, and some people believed it. Now you stand for nothing. The world will treat you as such

[Bereta_Eder]

Also you lie, you haven't helped the most, you're second. European aid is larger.

Also there is on record (thanks to russian intelligence but still) your officials inciting revolt in ukraine and when asked wether that is a wise move or would it lead to russian invading and that europe would be angry if you pushed ukraine to war you replied literally fcvk the EU.

That is all on record, how then do you perceive yourself to be the biggest benefactor, escapes me.

Not saying that you invaded and not russia but saying you are the biggest cutest benefactor and now you're just being neutral is so off the charts it's mind boggling anyone would think like that

I won't even add your mafia president's antiques and the extortion that followed. That is beyond the pale morally


if you stuck to your guns (even if you lost), you could argue that hey we supported freedom and democracy in ukraine. The action that trump takes now completely destroys you in the eyes of anyone who cares about that part of the world and degrades the US to the worse back stabbing hypocritical monster since I don't know when

[Bereta_Eder]

don't think you have the monopoly on moral repulsniveness btw

(anti-turkish alliance no matter with who...)

[Bereta_Eder]

the background is : a cable.

there is a huge electricity cable going from cyprus to crete.


turkey sent frigates to stop it.

greece decided no to send frigates (as it had in the past and sunk turksih frigates by gently touching them) because maybe NATO doesn't really need the final blow and the last nail to its coffin right now.

turkey has no problemin allowing this conenction IF greece asks. Greece will not ask since that would mean that it accepts territorial ambitions in international waters

anyway long story short Greece and Israel do share humungus common interests at the present time. also the cable starts from Israel.

turkish press (which means the dioctaroship press) is having a nervous melt down right now

israel needs greece to keep turkey in check

turkey says it will erase israel from the map

so all is going as intended I guess

Which is worse in your opinion, Israel or Turkey?

[Bereta_Eder]

well what netanyahu is doing is very difficult to defend. we're talking ethnic cleansing it seems


the average turk, I don't think we have something to divide and I'm sure noone wants war.

So it's hard to choose.

I say Turkey is worse but I'm not palestinian.

I also admire israel and the israelis/jews very much but I think what netanyahu does now is criminal
