    I’m saying the Ukrainians should not be expected to negotiate, given that it is their land being invaded. If Putin doesn’t like that, he can pound sand and leave.

    If someone invades your house, you wouldn’t just given them a room and bath to have them clam down.

        I’m saying Ukraine should take their aid and push Russia back, as they are doing quite well. Russia isn’t doing too hot there right now.

            If there was an ethnic cleansing attempt of any kind, I would promote the greatest of sanctions against them. I dislike bullies.

            This is an example of you justifying Russia’s actions.

              There was an ethnic cleansing attempt going on prior to the Russuan invasion. The Azov battalion was shelling ethnic Russians (who make up the majority of people in the Dnbas and Eastern Ukraine)in the Donbas for the last 8 years.

              So if the Ukrainians were shown to be persecuting jews, roma, russian-ukrainians or commies you’d be against Ukraine?
              Well have I got some news for you

      If Putin doesn’t like that, he can pound sand and leave.

      Or he can keep grinding Ukrainians that are poisoning their own soil with mines, cluster ammo and depleted uranium because I assure you Ukraine isn’t winning this and even their NATO backers are announcing it now that the “spring counter-offensive” has failed.

      I sure am glad that libs are aware that international relations are complex issues that cannot be boiled down to household analogies. It sure would be frustrating if they tried to make this into some simple black/white scenario with good guys and bad guys separated from material reality and historical context
