That was exactly the NATO plan if a ground war started in Europe, because the Warsaw Pact armies vastly outnumbered those of NATO.

Oligarchy's do not equal democracies... As for the 2nd part, that could very well be true, that Russians don't want it. That's kind of my point, they haven't known it much, and it might not be what they want. I wasn't claiming they did, just noting that historically they've had a handful of...

That may be a correct statement. As for whatabouting the past, it is worse because we know that was wrong. Russia has had, in its history, very little democracy. I wouldn't be so sure that it will be back anytime soon.

Well, aside from the fact that you're supporting fascism, I don't know if you've been lying or are just a fascist. I haven't really seen your posts on the topic.

You're missing the point. Even the supporters of Israel do not condone the killing, and they certainly don't blatantly lie to make it seem ok.

Sorry, but I think murder/international land grabs should be roundly criticized. You are right to think my stance on the topic is "inflammatory", it is supposed to be.

That's an interesting idea, you are suggesting he is containing it?

There's no problem there. The problem is you're defending murder. It's sick, and all guilty should be thrown off of this board for it.

I've never seen people actually approve of murder... even in the Israel threads, the most ardent supporters of either side generally are not ok with the death. This blind nationalism, that seems to have 100% backing on this board from Russians, is scary.

This is one of the least sensible posts I've ever had the displeasure of reading. Hahaha, oh, I am now indicted (again with US whataboutism) for not personally overthrowing the government every time I disagree with their acts? I'd say my speaking out against them is a clear indicator I don't...

No, Tim, NATO was formed as a defense against Russia. That's a different idea than "to be enemies", they were already enemies. Your point is making zero sense based in this reality. Russian paranoia on the topic is well known. Anyhow, I'm done with arguing against people who support...

I think I must.

Which is exactly what I was saying... It's true we should not reduce the USSR regime to a caricature, but at the same time, the utter lack of acknowledging their evil (which he has done over the years) is a clear indicator of an unacceptable bias.

Your denial of genocide that is well documented is disturbing. If you won't acknowledge that, as a basis, this conversation is over. Tim... you're smarter than that. What are you claiming? That NATO was going to conquer Moscow unprovoked? You're not really making a point here (unsurprisingly).

Um, you're ignoring the signed statement... nice work.
