Show me where I said they were reasonable, they're as unreasonable as can be.
1. Except your statements about what those geopolitical motivations are factually wrong, and easily proven to be such. You just keep ignoring that.
Okay then, Russia is nazi style pure evil.
No, Russia is a dictatorship interested in expanding their territory thought the conquest and annexation of its neighbors.
Get off your high horse I already said that the annexations are war crimes what more do you want? Cheer for war on Russia?
Yeah but they're pushing for classifying it as non green energy when it comes to combating ghg emissions at the EU level on the opposite side of France.
The west is not going to war with Russia.
How?
No no no this is not what this thread is about.
No, you're the "stan" for the expansionist imperialist totalitarian dictatorship.
It's a completely nonsensical argument because the US has nothing to gain from this conflict. It's all bad from the West's POV.
You're right it's better to be bombed and invaded by democracies.
No when the US kills millions of your people you have to accept their Intel again or else you're called a chill for putin.
You do realize that there are over 50 Battalion Tactical Groups massing on Ukraine's border, right? This is approximately 100,000 soldiers. And that commercial images depict Russian forces doing this?
Just ignore him. Obviously is trolling like russia apologists always do
What exactly does the US have to gain from lying here?
Not just that, also Russia themselves putting out a bullshit claim that American mercenaries arrived to carry out a chemical attack.... It's so extremely easy to see what Russia is planning here, you have to be completely and utterly delusional to not see it.
It's also commercial imagery, the Russian playbook, and Putin's own words.
Would a Russia apologist say it's culpable of some of the most supreme war crimes?
Is that a real question? What does the Iraq War have to do with a war between Russia and Ukraine?
Of course, all that too.
Apparently yes.

"Yeah that's bad but have you heard about XYZ" has been the talking point since the 80s and honestly it's getting kinda boring
He's been successfully using this same play for 15 years, time and time again.
These statements are just naive, the US biggest mistake was downplaying the Russian threat by inexperienced presidents like Obama "Cold War is over"and Trump, letting Georgia, Chechnya, Syria and Ukraine invasions happen without any consequences add to that Putin's support and funding western right-wing extremists and New Nazi parties and allowing them to meet and do conferences in Moscow
When the only defence for one's crimes is cries of Whataboutism. And again this is not a disculpation of Russia, it's not trusting the US at its word.
It's Ukraine's intel, too. Why do you continue to ignore this point?
The bloody thread title was "US intel says Russia planning false-flag operation to justify invasion of Ukraine" hence the reaction.
You are completely ignoring all open-source reporting here, as well as Russia's own playbook. You can take all Western intelligence out of the equation and reach the same inputs, analysis, and conclusion.
And you've been given new information that both Ukrainian intel as well as observable facts in the ground lend credence to this particular piece of US intel. Shouldn't that give you pause to consider that maybe the skepticism is no longer warranted? Just because you're being skeptical it doesn't mean you're thinking critically.
