Russia & Ukraine

[Tsing Tao]

1. Put your glasses on and read again please before typing

2. thousands of russians out in the square..... that is not media outlets condeming the President or politicians rising up in opposition.... Putin is not going to do anything about a few people in the square complaining but he does control the media and the entire government.

I appreciate your snark and concern for my eyesight, but when you said " doubt Putin has any opposition that he cannot kill for his actions in Ukraine" he can't just go out and kill thousands of people in the street because they're protesting. So I saw what you said, I understood it, and I pointed something out. If you don't like it, I don't much care.

I'm trying to have a dialogue with you. If you're not interested, just tell me and we can stop replying. If you're going to pile on and call me a Russian sympathizer or propagandist or a Russia lover simply because I like to consider both sides in a war, no worries. Tell me when I need to show up for my bus to head to the internment camp and I'll get out of your hair.

Oh please, I knew this where you would be. You think Russia “makes some good points” about our failures. He is making those points as justification to be our enemy and threaten us with nuclear weapons genius. Wake up.

1. I never called you a Russian sympathizer
2. You asked me why I thought you were justifying war which I never said..I clearly said PUTIN


thus the comment to reread what I wrote rather than what you think I wrote...

I never said you said I was a Russian sympathizer. I said "if you want to..." or if you're going to. IE, if your next step is to...

We can have this "I never said" shit until the cows come home. How about we just discuss instead of that?

Fine... make me requote your own words to you...
ME:
Not gonna say U.S. has not done similar shit in other countries but Putin calling out the U.S. as corrupt as his defense for invading Ukraine is low shit justification for starting a war... wtf do innocent Ukrainians have to do with Putin's dick swinging contest with the U.S.

YOU:
Why do you say I'm justifying the war? I'm very much opposed to any violent conflict as a way to resolve issues.



Seriously.... has it been a long day for you?

I know exactly why he gave the speech and I betcha I understand better than you. Of the two of us, I'm betting I'm the only one who spent years in Russia and had experience with the Russian people and their thinking. I get it.

And again, I don't accept his actions. But whatever the motivation you want to assign, if he makes a few good points - points where we are just as guilty elsewhere - then we ought to consider those as we're stoning the man.

It’s meant as poison and whataboutism that deflects and distracts.

When you write it that way, it appears that you're claiming I support Putin calling out the US as corrupt as justification. If you didn't mean it that way, just clarify it. Has it been a while since you got some or something?

What is meant as poison and whataboutism? The speech?

I'm asking because I don't need another person going on about "I never said that you said this" crap when I'm trying to have a conversation. So I'm clarifying.

Is your name Putin? it comes directly from the speech you posted.

Why you acting like I am the ass asking me if I am getting any when you started this whole thing by getting defensive and I said re read what I wrote.

your first instinct is to argue when I clearly wrote PUTIN and never said YOU.
