You know what my last name is. Have a think for yourself and realise how stupid you're being right now.
Explain it again.
So... you don't support the Russian invasion of Ukraine?
Is that what you're saying?
Meaning you think Ukraine has every right to defend itself, and other nations around the world that are supporting Ukraine to this end are doing the right thing?
Right?
Some very wise words in this, kind of explains the whole concept to this thread, majority understand, there's other who constantly spam with partisan views. like durrrr.Yes, that's why I called you a West Brit.
You're the one who put 'occupation' in quotation marks, implying you don't think the Six Counties are occupied.
Classic West Brit move.
(Do you know what a West Brit is?)
No, I've posted it plenty, search the thread, if you were operating in good faith I would, but you're not.
We've gone from "occupation" to "invasion" in one post lololololol.
And now, I've ever never supported it. Invasion or the subsequent occupation/annexation.
You know on Twitter when people say RT doesn't equal endorsement?
Understanding WHY the Russians invaded isn't the same as supporting it.
So many of the issues we have is your inability to grasp that very very simple intellectual concept.
You never ever try and understand what I'm saying.
Yes, as I've said the whole way through, Ukraine has every right to defend itself but it also needs to be aware of its situation and that escalating the fighting the way it has and having a maximalist position on the war might end is something it will own.
This is where the Irish comparison and 1921 comes in, as I've said again and again.
As for other nations around the world supporting them, no I don't think foreign nations have any core national interest in an ethno/sectarian squabble about who controls a string of provinces in the Donbass.
Any more than Russia should go round arming republican guerillas engaged in an ethno/sectarian squabble about who controls a string of provinces in historical Ulster.
This is the Devil's Chessboard thread (well named too). We discuss geopolitics and the clash of empires. There are no good guys or moral actors on this game board and if you think there are its because one or more of those empires are trying to convince you of that so they can get something out of it.

You're reading too much into that.
You can forgive me for scoffing at this claim, considering the hundreds and hundreds of pages of posts here demonstrating otherwise.
Your repeated and persistant attempts (in vain) to legitimise and make excuses for Russia's invasion betray your attempts here to position yourself as a simple neutral observer.
Oh, no. I very much understand what you're saying. As I've said before; you're nowhere near as slick as you like to think you are.
There is no 'but'. Ukraine has every right to defend itself. End of sentence.
You know who escalated the fighting more than Ukraine ever could? Russia. By invading Ukraine.
So you think that foreign nations should only intervene where it's in their direct national interest? That kind of thinking is straight out of the Dick Cheney playbook.
That you're quite emotional verging on hysterical at times doesn't help here either, hence the rapid flight to full bore personal abuse when the situation get too complex for you.
...you're not intellectually equipped to deal with the arguments.
That you're quite emotional verging on hysterical at times
You can only deal in very simple positions
It is children's thinking.
At some point in your life, at school, someone has told you that you are SMART and quite possibly GIFTED.
That person was wrong.
you are not as smart as you believe you are. You're just not.
Do any of you work?
People don't know what they are voting for and generally just vote for one of the major parties out of habit, polling and the vibe. First past the post doesn't help.How so?

Lowest turnout ever in this election. Says everything.
FPTP and non-compulsory voting is dumb. I agree.
But this elections has been a thorough rejection of conservative/far-right politics, and that's a good thing.
Why should people be forced to vote? Labour and the Conservative Party are peas in a pod. Conservative voters have voted themselves out by shifting to reform.FPTP and non-compulsory voting is dumb. I agree.

Any news on Harold Holt?As has been established earlier, I am paid by Russian intelligence for my posting here.
(Yes, I do, and this stuff really doesn't take much time, also today is very slow, I'm in a very reactive industry)
