@Metal-Brain saidIt doesn't matter HOW the fires started. THEY TOOK LITERALLY MONTHS TO CONTAIN and that represents MONTHS of EXTREMELY high levels of crap going right into the atmosphere. So stop trying to defend your barbarian mentor Putin. Ain't gonna happen. There IS no defense for Putin attacking Ukraine and don't EVEN go 'Russia used to own Ukraine so they DESERVE to take it by force'
"the KUWAIT fires were LITERALLY a thousand times worse"
That is literally an exaggeration and not literally at all. And the only reason that happened is because the US government invaded Iraq after the US diplomats told Saddam they would not get involved. Look at the part of the link below where it says "motives". Kuwait was stealing Iraq's oil. They were also violati ...[text shortened]... Iraq. Don't forget our governemt was allied with Saddam before he invaded the oil thieving emirate.
But for instance, the US BOUGHT Alaska from Russia for 6 million dollars. Now Russia wants it back, but it would take a military attack and that would be 100% the fault of Russia, land bought legally with money tendered, a way different situation than Russia saying because they had Ukraine 300 years ago and lost it for 300 year, they don't have the excuse that is THEIR lands. For one thing, there have been SEVERAL such regime changes so whomever else owned Ukraine at some point in the last 300 years should also have the ability to use that same excuse to invade also, not going to happen say in a world court, they would ALL go GET THE HELL OUT OF HERE, YOU LOSE.
@sonhouse saidThe USSR used to own Ukraine so they DESERVE to take it back. If Russia took Alaska by coup we wouldn't be allowed to take it back? That is how the US got Ukraine. It was called the Maidan coup.

@Metal-Brain saidI KNEW you were going to pull the Putin rationale. If that is the case what would you say about native Americans starting a war with the US? They used to own it so why can't they pay for a dark web nuke and take out DC?

@sonhouse saidYou need to stop drinking the kool-Aid. All you do is repeat propaganda talking points you heard about Putin wanting to rebuild the USSR and nonsense like that. Just because a lying politician said that doesn't make it true. Remember how Iraq had WMDs they did not have? And how Reagan helped Saddam use WMDs on Iran and had no problem with that?

Our government helped Iraq use WMDs and had no problem with those WMDs, then WMDs became horrible and that is all you heard about on the news. Nothing about when we helped him use WMDs and we were fine with it. Stop parroting propaganda. Government officials lie.

"When did Russia give land to Ukraine?
1954
In 1954, the Crimean Peninsula was ceremoniously transferred from the Russian S.F.S.R to Ukraine. On 1 December 1991, a referendum on Independence was held in Ukraine. The population voted overwhelmingly for independence."
Kind of like how America got its start, but we had to fight a war over it. Ukraine got it by VOTING for independence.
So I guess YOU could care less if Ukrainian citizens don't WANT to be part of the Soviet so called empire which lasted less than some people live, less than 80 years. Not so much of an empire.
Compare to Rome or Greek empires HUNDREDS of years of empire.
@sonhouse saidThe Confederacy wanted independence too, but Lincoln did not let them have it and fought a war over preserving the union. Why do our history books look favorably to that while you condemn Russia for it?

These contradictions arise from propaganda. You accepted a double standard without realizing it. Our corporate news media does not have any Russian sympathizers on to tell you about these contradictions. Debates on the corporate news is a thing of the past. If they allowed that you would hear a Palestinian sympathizer telling you the truth about Israel. Can't have that.
@Metal-Brain saidSays the avowed COMMUNIST where your goal is to DESTROY AMERICA which means YOU are a TRAITOR.

@Metal-Brain saidHow many maternity hospitals did Lincoln bomb? How many CIVILIAN train stations with ZERO military on it get bombed by Lincoln.

@Metal-Brain saidWOW, I bet you feel better now knowing you think you won.
No debate? That is why you lost the debate.
