Supporting Ukraine

[Notch7]

The proof of that is in the fact that the Americans are now offering to lift economic sanctions on one dictator in order to impose them on another dictator

Madura is not really a dictator though.

you can’t equate him with Putin, total false equivalence

The EU is throwing petrol on the fire

Russia has tipped petrol over a sovereign state, and set fire to it.

 

[JohnD]

Your arguments are all pro Putin.

why is that?

Vinty favours Russia's invasion of Ukraine and objects to any resistance.

He is a Putineer who promotes the expansion of the Russian Empre and the invasion of other countries.

There is a paid professional group of pro Russian trolls. This is known, although membership isn't clear for obvious reasons.

Vinty does seem a bit iffy.

Vinty hates the EU, so he is siding with Russia

Vinty voted for brexit so is one of Putins useful idiots

Hitler throught the same.

Second guessing with historical precedents doesn't always work.
In short: times change. And in this case, the location.

I asked Notch7 in a previous post to give some examples of economic sanctions achieving the desired effect of removing a dictator from power.
He ducked the question.

Vinty asked for an examples?

And where are his examples of Russia's successes?

please give some examples of nations invaded by the Soviet or Russian Empires with overwhelming force and brutality

that have not sought to escape as soon as the opportunity arose.

Aparthide South Africa is probably the best example of a non democratic regime being brought down in part thanks to Sanctions.

You capacity for self delusion is even greater than John Ds.

Aparthide South Africa is probably the best example of a non democratic regime being brought down in part thanks to Sanctions.

I will concede that one.
Although i think the collapse of Apartheid was inevitable.

Better a useful idiot, than a useless one.

No i don't.
On balance, i believe Russia has legitimate security concerns but i don't support their methods of dealing with them.
I was shocked and surprised as anyone at the invasion of Ukraine.
I didn't actually believe that Putin would go as far as invasion.

Vinty likes to be useful to Putin.

Never met the man in my life.
Russophobia seems to be more contagious than Covid.
Maybe its just this site.
