Utter bollocks. Russia takes that prize every time.

And yes, Muscovy is part of Europe.

Ukraine will be unlikely to agree to any peace deal whilst ever any of
Ukraine territory remains occupied by Russia and that includes
territory illegally annexed in 2014.

Ukraine used to be the USSR, they\'re just taking it back.

Russia does not equal USSR.

Okay, the Russian Empire is taking it back... Maybe Poland would like
their part back too. The Ukraine has a very limited history as an actual
country.

Only as far as current borders are concerned. Back in the Middle Ages,
when Moscow was still just a swamp, Kyiv was the capital of a much
larger area, \"Kyivan Rus\". Maybe we should be thinking of Ukraine
regaining its former territories.

Who do you think? Why is it that this kind

why are you assisting the propaganda?
What propaganda is that? Even Henry Kissinger said there\'d have to be
some Ukraine territory given up for a peace deal and he said it some
time ago, too.

This 2023 and Kissinger is a product of a bygone era. There is no reason to cede authority on this issue to Kissinger or Putin

Ukraine is not interested in becoming a dictatorship

PACE recognises Russia as a dictatorship

Both Russia and the Ukraine used to be part of the USSR. When that fell apart they both became independent countries. Putin is trying to pretend that Russian can take back areas that used to be part of the pre-1917 Russian Empire. Britain might try to take back the eastern seaboard America on the same basis. It\'s a dubious claim.

What\'s dubious about it? Israel was created in 1948 out of land seized
from Palestine and everyone recognises Israel as a legitimate state!
(all the important countries, anyway).

The Arabs whose land was seized in the process don\'t see it as remotely legitimate. The current Israeli government is rapidly looking less legitimate by the day. If they get to the point passing legislation that lets the government overturn court decisions that they don\'t like, any residual claim on legitimacy will have entirely evaporated.

Russia doesn\'t want all of it. They only want to annexe some Eastern
areas of the shit-hole where ethnic Russians were being killed by
Ukrainian neo-Nazis and the clown that runs the country was doing
nothing to stop them. Why are we supporting neo-Nazis?

Russia wants all of it. Especially the eastern bits where they killed
their own citizens to fake an excuse to take it, because it has all the
oil coal and gas. And they want all the grain, and they want the black
sea ports as well.

Anyone who actually believes there was \'ethnic conflict\' is a moron.

Indeed. Ukrainians *and* Russians are ethnically Slavs.

I cannot understanbd people who dont trust their own government actually
trusting a single thing the Russian state says.

Ukraine became independent of the *Soviet Union* in 1991. Even before

That wasn\'t an invasion. The clearances were mainly conducted by the

The Russian Empire collapsed in 1917. If you don\'t know the difference
between that and the CCCP perhaps you should play elsewhere.

They were on American Ships.

I was under the impression that, until the USA entered the war, Congress
required that supplies for the allies should travel only on allied
ships. However, that is from memory and might only have applied to
Lease-Lend supplies, rather than purely commercial transactions.

Here is a run down:

I would be interested to know how 103 American ships could be attacked
without it being taken as an act of war against the USA. Were they, for
example, ignoring government advice not to enter a war zone?

The point is that is is relatively silly to look at the past and try and
either create reparations about it or try to undo it. One country
becomes part of another either because it wants to, or at least doesn\'t
care, or because it is conquered and smashed until it gives up. Or its
populations is simply killed.
We have all done it.
We have all had it done to us.

In the case of Ukraine they had a referendum and they decided they
wanted to be independent. A sort of Ukrainian version of Brexit. Russia
agreed, and that was that.

Why is happening now is precisely equivalent to the EU sending tanks
into southern Ireland to take over Northern Ireland, then scotland and
finally England.

We all know they would like to, but fortunately no one trusts them with
an army.

The EU is composed of bunch of countries who have all had respectable armies for quite a while, and still have them.

They have combined to act in former Yugoslavia and in Libya. The main reason that they didn\'t use force to undo Brexit was that they were happy to get rid of partner country that was not only unwilling to pull it\'s weight, but also too economically pathetic to be able to pull much weight even if it had wanted to.

And, in fact, over time, the territory currently part of
Ukraine has been part of Greece, Ottoman empire et alia. The Russians
took it by force in the days of the German-born Catherine via
her toady Potemkin (after she took Russia in a coup).

The eponymous village was in Ukraine.

Russia divested itself of Ukraine when the USSR disintegrated.
