Im not sure even the US, feeding money into it, envisaged the result TBH. It was the start of the coup, it is irrelevant what anyone envisaged or even what you think, you even said so yourself, “the ball was rolling and other eyes could see a prize in their grasp” without the student protesters the ball wouldn’t have been rolling, nothing to grasp, therefore they were the start. It’s quite simple logic, if you are to be believed, the right wing ultras jumped on the bandwagon, they didn’t start it, they, in your own words “Entered the fray”. But it’s pointless because you will argue that you know what was in their minds and that of the USA and know for certain they never envisaged it so that discounts them even though their actions caused the coup. I however, know exactly what started the ball rolling as do you form your previous post, which logically means it was the start. It’s not a last word thing, it is defending my point when quoted, as I keep stating, and with you I will never get the last word. But it is pointless as no mater what I write you will argue black is white. Edited October 12, 2022 by timps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are no winners but to try and blame Russia for everything as some do is not an objective viewpoint. Putin and his cronies have gotten rich over the last 20 years and may well have carried out assassinations as is alleged or made political rivals disappear, but in general they have improved things in Russia which is why they are still in power. However, this is no different as to how the West operates with MI6 agents turning up in holdalls, Iranian generals being bombed in third party countries, many of the whistle blowers in the USA turning up dead having had heart attacks or car accidents (especially after having a run in with a Clinton) or the current Hunter laptop where a drug taking paedofile and his equally paedo father have been protected and an election effectively stolen by not reporting the truth at the time of discovery, dodgy voting machines and mail in voting practices, the mass murder of young people by the COVID vaccination due to adverse reactions etc etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welsh1 Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 1 hour ago, Stonepark said: Let's talk about the illegal coup in Ukraine and the fact that since the coup took place Ukraine as it was, have not had a legally and democratically elected government of the people and as such the "separatist areas" were equally sovereign to the current "Ukranian Government" and that the invasion that the Ukranian Government had been undertaking by undertaking an illegal incursion of those seperatist areas in 2014 to 2022 is a war by the above definition. Where was the condemnation and sanctions for the Ukranian Governments ethnic cleansing it was undertaking with its Nazi military units when they invaded the seperatist areas and what did the West do to stop them.... Nothing because it suited them. Ukraine Government is not in a position to claim sovereignty over the separatist regions and the MSM\West knows it, but was hoping that by providing training and arms it would allow Ukranian Government to take back those areas by force and that Russia would stand aside. As far as most of Russia, most of East Ukraine and more than a few countries around the world, the Ukranian Government is nothing more than a totalitarian (bans opposition parties and free speech) terrorist (assassinationions, Nazi cleansing killings, bio labs) corrupt (Biden junior and others getting £millions and £billions) bullies supported by money and arms from the West run by the definition of a "Tinpot" cocaine fueled dictator and his handlers\cronies. Zelensky and his government makes Assad, Gadaffii, and Sadam look almost normal. At least the latter were generally fighting religious fanatics within their country (and whilst not nice but could be seen from a standpoint of trying to better their country as well as their families), whilst Zelensky is simply doing the bidding of his Western handlers and his Nazi supporters for money at the end of the day..... Lets talk about the invasion of ukraine by russia, and the murdering and maiming of ukraine people by russia. Isn't it funny how some want to deflect the war that russia started against ukraine by invading, you would think they might be putin apologists. But if you can justify the killing of civilians by an army that has invaded another country and continues to bomb the civilian population causing misery and chaos then you must have some warped mind.

Mungler Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 (edited) Oh this is good. I see them all watching, and it’s a simple enough question, but it’s only troubling if you persist on calling a war a special military operation for no other reason than because Putin says so. Let’s open it up to the other shills and the PW floor : what is your definition of a war? I’ll check back on this question in an hour.

So, there we have it (and even on your definition) Russia and Ukraine are at war. I think we’re agreed on ‘invasion’ and that Russia has invaded Ukraine, and so to recap, following Russia invading Ukraine, a state of war exists between those countries. We got there in the end eh?

mchughcb Posted October 12, 2022 Report Share Posted October 12, 2022 Why? Because the UN pats its self on the back and calls it that legally? Because according to some here any invasion, or invasion with armed personnel or invasion with armed personnel that kill civilians is war no matter what is called legally. And here is something about the declaration of war. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war#:~:text=A declaration of war is,between two or more states.

This is about your insistence of an invasion and war being a special military operation. If you want to consider every UN mission a war or an act of war, I don’t care, fill your boots. What we have nonetheless arrived at is a war between Russia and Ukraine resulting from Russia’s invasion of the Ukraine. Now we’ve highlighted the utter the ridiculousness of ‘special military operation’ and debunked that daft fiction I am intrigued to know why you maintained the use of ‘special military operation’.
