Ok, let me expand just a little.

It was not just the possibility of NATO moving next door into Ukraine, though that would have been enough reason for Russia to react since Ukraine never ratified the Minsk agreements it signed. This had the potential for the Ukrainian Black Sea coastline to become NATO’s Black Sea coastline so close to Crimea. Now, if you were in Russia’s shoes and you are concern about your own security, what would you have done? Would you take the chance that NATO and Ukraine would not try to take back Crimea and leave you and your Navy exposed which is based in Sevastopol and knowing you cannot pick a fight with NATO without going Nuclear, the next best thing was to invade Ukraine before a small headache becomes a migraine. :wink:

You need to be able to understand why what is happening in Ukraine is happening. It is not about picking sides. It is about walking in the shoes of the one feeling threatened, that’s all. All this would have been avoided had Ukraine ratified the Minsk agreements which was signed 8 years ago. It is obvious that there was never an intention to ratify Minsk by Ukraine on the instructions from America (NATO), which meant there was going to be a war come what may. This all did not happen in a vacuum. Now, if you don’t get that, that’s fine, but please don’t accuse others who do get it as being idiots. Look on the bright side as this war continues, that the world may have avoided a Nuclear War had the threat to Russia became very real by Ukraine becoming a NATO member and that Black Sea becomes NATO’s so close to Crimea. Try looking for that silver lining sometimes. :wink:

Sorry, I went over a little in trying to expand. :oops:


But... you didn't explain him how to train his spell checker. It turned my name from Pyro to Purple :o :lol: :lol: :lol:

Some priest must have punished him to spell 100 times a day "I shall never again kill an Argentinian niger". :wink:

Except LR got punished twice because he pointed out to the priest that he spelt Argentinian wrong! :wink:

100 times with the misspelt Argentinian and another 100 times with the correct spelling. :lol:

Oh fuck, not sure if I should have used spelled for spelt, or spelt for spelled! :D

I’m sure LR will correct me soon enough! :wink:

I'm pleased to know that no Cypriot politician has come out in support of the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Supporting the Russian invasion also means the support of the Turkish invasion of Cyprus.

NO, IT DOES NOT, Milti.

The RoC as an EU member state has no choice but to be seen as a “team player” in supporting Ukraine. Just your normal run of the mill fucking politics, that’s all. :wink:

Russia invaded Ukraine. FULL STOP.
So did Turkey invaded Cyprus. Thousands of Ukrainians and Russians killed as a result of the invasion .
There isn't a valid reason why anyone, apart from the Psychopath, would support the Russian invasion unless ofcourse one hates the West and sees this as a Russian v NATO. I do not hate Russia but I hate this barbaric invasion and destruction is causing.

Blinken to speak to Russia's Lavrov for first time since Ukraine invasion

Careful: journalists write whatever they are told.
What they will talk about -that cannot be discussed through the usual diplomatic channel- is obviously something else

Thanks Pyr, something to watch for.

...almost hopeful. One imagines they will want to end the problem (read: Problem), but it is still more about "winning".
