Far too often, the Ukrainian issue is posed as a showdown: whether
Ukraine joins the East or the West. But if Ukraine is to survive and
thrive, it must not be either side’s outpost against the other – it
should function as a bridge between them.

Holy shit all these antique ghouls must\'ve made a pact with the Devil to
live forever.

The world would be a much better place if it stopped taking the opinions
of has-been pale-skins like Putin, Trump, Biden, Kissenger, et al with a
combined age of 9000 years old seriously.

The neocons are trying to fool people that NATO entrance would lead to
deterrence and peace, when in fact it is a recipe for war and disaster.

Oddly, that\'s a perceptive article. Alas, it ignores the fact that Ukraine is a
democracy, and Putin\'s Russia is so corrupted by (among other things) Putin
stealing elections and supressing the press that a kleptocracy run by a
dictator is now invading, trying to seize more political power at gunpoint.

Rule-from-Ukraine is better than rule-from-Moscow, and the article doesn\'t say otherwise.
NATO membership certainly has a better future than capitulation to Tsar Vladimir.

Congratulations, it\'s an opinion!

Difficult to believe how many clueless people are rooting for death
and destruction, praying for World War III.

Millions being displaced and killed so Zelensky can keep his job.

It\'s like the Black Night in Monty Python and the Holy Grail (1975).

Ukraine is the Black Night. Zelensky is its brain. Ukrainians are the
Black Knight\'s lost body parts...

Actually, John Doe has got this wrong. I am Australian, but I don\'t bash Americans because they are American.

I criticise stupid people when they post misleading nonsense. Some of the worst offenders here are American. John Doe and Flyguy do come in for a lot of justified criticism. John Larkin gets some from time to time. He isn\'t actually stupid, but he posts ignorant nonsense a lot too often.

I\'m certainly frequently rude about Cursitor Doom\'s idiocies, even though he claims to of English origin, and I\'ve been nasty about Skybuck, who is Dutch.

John Doe should think this one out again, if he ever works out how to think in any useful way, which probably won\'t happen any time soon.

Yes, i am rooting for death and destruction of the Z army. Because that\'s the only way to end this Putin War.

6,000 death, 15,000 wounded
20 jets, 30 copters, 200 tanks, 100 APCs destroyed.

and Ukraine has 1,200 javelins, 2,000 stingers, 17,000 small missiles waiting.

>> Millions being displaced and killed so Zelensky can keep his job.

He is just protecting his home, family and friends. Why is that bad? It\'s like blaming the victim for home invasion.
 
Zelensky is doing a bad job of \"protecting his home\" considering the
fact millions of Ukrainians are being displaced and killed.

Zelensky is flapping his lips while Ukraine is being destroyed.

Advising the \"victim\" on how to stop the slaughter of its children is
hardly \"blaming the victim\".

Encouraging the \"victim\" to continue acting in a way that gets more of its
children slaughtered is bloody evil.

Too many people closing their eyes to reality, cheering death and
destruction, and praying for World War III, just because they hate
Russia...

What is the alternative? Give in to Putin\'s demand? Disband the army. Disclaim Crimea and Eastern Regions. Install Puppy government and stop asking for EU help. Turn Ukraine into Russia satellite. No dissent and/or freedom of speech. For many Ukrainian, the condition is worst than death.

After the major powers developed the ability to destroy the entire planet,

Zero. Not difficult to believe that.

Not \'so Putin can expand his empire\'? Zelensky is an elected official, his job
is the will of an entire nation. Putin\'s machinations aren\'t national

Hell, no, it is not. NATO hasn\'t been a first-attack agressor, is unlikely to

acting on militaristic fictions is a world-shattering threat.

Apparently Kamala Harris made a careless statement of approval too, but I
haven\'t been able to find a record of that. Apparently the same happened
with Georgia.

It\'s no secret. Many Americans and others have warned about it. NATO has
been expanding towards Russia\'s border since the Cold War supposedly
ended. It\'s naked aggression. They want a first strike capability. There
is no other reason considering the fact all the major powers can destroy
the whole freaking Earth.

The idea Zelensky is just a good guy trying to help his people is
laughable. It\'s called ACTING. It ignores the FACTS on the ground. An
incredible amount of yada yada yada going on while millions of Ukrainians
are being displaced and killed. But who cares, after you realize the sad
truth, after more of they\'re homes are destroyed and more of them are
dead, it will be all Russia\'s fault.

The current BIG crop of warmongers are like the guy being held back from a
fight, flailing as if set free he would pummel his adversary (and in this
situation kill everybody else). Must be why the warmongers aren\'t calling
the shots.

That\'s what ICBM\'s offer. Before there were submarine launched ICBMs it was useful to put intermediate range ballistic missiles in countries closer to Russia, but that stopped being worth the trouble decades ago. Quite why John Doe has got \"first strike capability\" into his head is a mystery.

> There is no other reason considering the fact all the major powers can destroy the whole freaking Earth.

Half-witted nonsense.

> The idea Zelensky is just a good guy trying to help his people is laughable.

John Doe wants to laugh at it, for half-witted reasons of his own. He\'s nuts.

> It\'s called ACTING. It ignores the FACTS on the ground.

Not that John Doe can name even one. He can come up with deluded assertions, and does it ore or less non-stop.

An incredible amount of yada yada yada going on while millions of Ukrainians
are being displaced and killed. But who cares, after you realize the sad
truth, after more of they\'re homes are destroyed and more of them are
dead, it will be all Russia\'s fault.

It\'s hard to blame anybody else. It is Russian bombs and shells that are destroying the houses and killing the people.

> The current BIG crop of warmongers are like the guy being held back from a fight, flailing as if set free he would pummel his adversary (and in this situation kill everybody else).

Not that John Doe has identified any of the BIG crop of war-mongers. Putin presumably qualifies - he\'s definitely waging war on the Ukraine. Everybody else would like him to stop doing that.

> Must be why the warmongers aren\'t calling the shots.

More likely because they resemble cannibal leftists, in existing only in John Doe\'s deluded imagination.

It\'s no secret. Many Americans and others have warned about it. NATO has
been expanding towards Russia\'s border since the Cold War supposedly
ended. It\'s naked aggression. They want a first strike capability.

False. Ukraine\'s Lviv (formerly Lvov, Poland) was first invaded by Stalin, who
later turned that city (and its Jews) over to Germany. Another, recent invasion
from Russia was in Crimea. This is a third \"first strike\" from Russia.

NATO can, and has, kept borders intact regardless of Russian agressions.
NATO has not conquered any territory, all NATO nations are self-governing.
I suspect many inhabitants of Ukraine prefer to be self-governed, and
whether they speak Russian or not, do not expect good rule from military
governors and/or Moscow. NATO as an alternative to Moscow or unelected puppets
is thus an attractive prospect.

Ukraine\'s history with Russian rulers includes the \'collectivation of agriculture\' episode
which claimed millions of lives. How many, history may never know, but... Ukraine
remembers.
