    Answer: they wouldn't care. Bejing would squeeze the nuts of their pet poly's, and apply the necessary pressure to their thousands of other pressure points, and China's efforts to destablize us would be declared Trump's fault, and echoed through every means of communication from MSMBC to CBS, ABC, CNN...down the line, and preached as gospel damn truth at every academic level from Harvard down to your local kindy...

    I resigned myself to DD living some hellish existence, chained to a computer terminal in some Putin "bot" shop, in his beloved Siberia.

    The problem is that every once in awhile, he catches a sucker fish who bites and starts to think there’s “more to the story” and starts to believe the BS. It’s the essence of propaganda.

    Somehow the great "denazification-campaign" went south at Kiev.
    They took a wrong turn, I think they were trying to get to L.A., via Omaha. lol - to quote the song that is.

    Insulated chatter. Refer to threat in third person.

    Comment: there is an obstinate refusal to acknowledge even the slight possibility that there might be another side to what’s been brewing in Ukraine for years.

    There is a rational refusal to buy your bogus, manufactured propaganda to justify your side’s mass murder.

    Big difference.

    There’s lots of room for spirited debate in many issues. Your persistence in shoving Russia-propaganda down the throats is not one of them.

    Textbook projection. At least you’re not shouting out of a whole like a number of others are.

    A tad coded for a part timer to this thread...please elaborate:

    Who are "my" [your] people that were burned alive in *whose* 2014 coup against whom?

    ...and *who's* getting shelled in Eatern Ukr since 2014?

    ...and which ppl are you referring to as thugs here?

    (I know, I know....pronouns, pronouns, pronouns...but I'm not asking for some politically driven contrived mis-application of pronouns...just the nouns to which they refer).

    I didn’t project at all, but please share the textbook you reference. And I didn’t understand a word of your second sentence (which I attribute to autocorrect).

    That was helpful for shedding light on RUS v UKR.

    Didn't answer my questions at all.

    Perhaps I need to re-phrase.

    Are you Russian?

    Not attacking you DD, just trying to make sense of that post I replied to, and clarify where you're coming from.

    I've told you before I appreciate your contributions here.

    But it would be helpful if you came clean on where you're coming from, especially when you claim that *our* ppl bombed *your* ppl, and *our* ppl are thugs, etc.

    BTW, fyi, here's the link to the timeline DD referred me to.

    Ukraine Timeline Tells the Story

    I don't think it's going to change anyone's mind about this war from reading it, but it certainly addes context and perspective.

    C'est la vie.

    I’m a self-fulfilling prophecy. I’m apple pie American. But merely because I (A) despise American foreign policy and (B) Russia is allowed to have its reasons and (C) I believe Russia is winning … I’m Russia.

    Frankly, Ivan is a fine sounding name.

    I commend you for acknowledging that much. I don’t think peace is possible with anything short of that. And I do wish for peace.
