If I want to call someone a Ukrainian bot I'm more than free to do so. Just like some of your crew calls people Pootin stooges, Russian trolls, Russian bots, etc.

So you don’t actually believe posters are Ukrainian bots, you were just name calling

Refusing to sell something to a country is an act of war, gotcha. They would have never, ever hit U.S. territory even if we had bowed down the the imperialists and done everything they wanted.

I sure worked out good for the Japs though! Were we justified in retaliating?

He also believes it’s ok for innocent women to be assaulted and that no one should get involved. He’s literally crazy

That was the entire plan to begin with. Create a situation to get us in the war. Back then, America still had a non-interventionist spirit. They had to create a situation that would manufacture consent amongst the people here at home.

You can get involved all you want in a situation that is none of your concern. We just saw several incidents at the time I posted that comment when men stepped in and got killed for trying to save damsels in distress.

Ukraine is Losing the War, and So is Europe

Russia has all their energy needs met, they have a real economy and they are trading partners with China, and they have very little external debt. They will be fine. Meanwhile, the UK and US intelligence agencies are the ones pumping this propaganda and gave bad guidance to The Western nations to impose these ridiculous sanctions.

Ukraine is Losing the War, and So is Europe

Clearly, the European leadership has been unable to foresee the true economic consequences in Europe and beyond of the economic war unleashed against Russia. One explanation for the boldness and self-confidence surrounding the European standing against Russia at the beginning of the war was a strong belief that the combination of anti-Russian sanctions and military support to Ukraine would cause a significant weakening of Russia’s political, social and military standing leading to its defeat. This explains for instance bold statements that the war would only be solved in the field as it was confidently said by the EU’s foreign affairs representative back in March.

It can be argued that the wrong assessment on the war outcome has its roots in faulty US-British intelligence which forecasted Russia’s defeat through economic warfare and, therefore, a limited impact of sanctions on Europe. This not being the case has now made European leadership to scramble for solutions.

Russians are too lazy and lack the technical skills to support their economy in house

It is low vibration thinking such as this that has gotten our leaders to believe that Russia is just a gas station masquerading as a country and that the sanctions we imposed in February would crush their economy. Obviously, even a smart guy like you can admit that these sanctions have been more punitive on Europe than Russia.

Of course, the sanctions were just window dressing for the masses but over time Russia will suffer.

That has been speculated for years, and even if it's true the murderous Imperialists were dumb enough to fall for the trap and it cost them everything, and they deserved what they got.

Lol. A completely civilian action, that means no military leadership involved, no military assets involved, taken by a nation not at war with anyone, of voluntary nature, is an act of war. My God are you desperate and reaching.

So under this argument the entire world is technically at war with North Korea. Including China and Russia.

Who knew that you HAVE to trade with everyone, or it's an act of war.

Explain how. Or is that just wishful thinking on your part? They are trading partners with China and India. The rest of the world outside of Europe and the Anglosphere/crown colonies are jumping at the opportunity to do business and make trade deals with Russia and the new economic system they are creating. The US and The West have been poor rulers and Masters of the Universe for far too long. The world now smells blood in the water an an opportunity to breakaway from this corrupt USD system. And we should be celebrating this, also, because it is the very same system that has now turned on us here at home.

You just made my point. It was planned and intended to provoke a response. Thank you.

Speculation. Bottom line is that they don't get to kill Americans just because we refuse to sell something to them.

I can't believe that you think that even without an oil embargo that they wouldn't have eventually hit us lol. That is very naive. They wanted their empire to stretch around the globe. They said that.

Would you be ok with a Nazi regime currently ruling Europe, and an empirical Japan dominating the other half of the world, just so long at the U.S. would have never gotten involved? You seem to be very obsessed with this. Would that have been worth it to you?

Seems like you need to stop being sensitive and quit playing the victim card so much .

College football is around the corner. Lots of Army football will be on CBS Sports.

Because Russia has always had to rely on outside sources for technical skills. They can’t even develop and run their own oil fields without foreign experts.
