Faithti:I knew it, you are seeing history in reverse. Former soviet states didn't exist as independent countries untill 1991. These are former regions of Russia which broke away from Russia. You confuse it with colonisation and independence like in Africa. No, it is a country breaking up and giving birth to other countries. Also Chechnya is a region of Russia (currently), people like you always seem to think Chechnya is an independent country. Ukraine was a region of Russia which broke away in 1991, Georgia was a region of Russia, even Stallin (the horrible Russian dictator) was actually a Georgian. 3 Likes 1 Share |

To those who said what can Russia do in Ukraine that they haven't done? I hope you guys are following the recent missile gifts Russia is sending to Ukraine? We told y'all but y'all thought Russia was weak. Now una don push Ukraine enter bottomless pit. Russia won't listen to any peace agreement anymore like Putin said, Ukraine will become landlocked by the time Russia is done with them.

I think they are resigning because zelensky is refusing to share power. Zelensky who seems to be president for life, is above any rule and any law and any tradition and is making governance a one man show and going from one stupid decision to an other. That is what I think. Jovi10: 4 Likes |

Jovi10:To the public in the west, zelensky is the representative of Ukraine and Ukrainians, to Ukrainians zelensky is the representative of the west, so to them, getting rid of zelensky is like getting rid of the west. I don't think the Ukrainian military wants to get rid of the west. The only guy who could have easily objected to zelensky cancelling elections and remaining in power beyond his mandate was zelujni, and because of that, zelensky fired him before the planned cancellation of election and prolongation of mandate. 2 Likes |

Ghostagain:This is just one and I asked you to look at it. Russia has never been free of colonialism or its tendencies. You need to read up their Alaskan journey. 1939, the teamed up with the Nazis to carve up poland for themselves and that was what again? You ignored the Ethiopian case I posted. Hope it wasn't deliberate. |

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Ghostagain: 1:05pm |
There was a non agression pact between the USSR and Germany. If you want to make russian federation responsible of its soviet past, then at least make Germany responsible of its nazi past and stop saying "the Nazis" (as if it were a country from outer space), just say "Germany". Germany and the USSR (of which Ukraine and many other states which you love today were subregions) had an agreement in which Germany was entitled to western Poland and the USSR was entitled to eastern Poland. They both expanded their territories and took over the lands as per their agreement. A part of that land which the USSR took over from Poland is what we now know as "western Ukraine". Let me tell you the countries which actually were allies with Germany in WW2: the Baltic states, Sweden (support with mercenaries), Finland, Ukraine (yeah when the ussr's troops retreated and the Germans entered, Ukraine showed a lot of zeal in joining the SS), Italy, Switzerland (a lot of non military support, fake neutrality as usual)...all those nazi loving or Nazi ruled countries are now part of NATO (except Switzerland) which you love. erniok: 2 Likes 1 Share |
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Ghostagain: 1:08pm |
It seems you don't understand the expression "colonisation". Every country which exists (except colonial constructs), came to existence through expansion. So you are basically blaming Russia for being a country. To me, Russia was created by the successors of Genghis Khan. That was the first expansion which would be defeated hundreds of years later and give place to an other expansion which gave us the shape of Russia today. Faithti: 1 Like |

Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Ghostagain: 1:11pm |
Once again, you are being vague. You brought up Aljazeera propaganda to back up your once again vague claim. "They supported mengitsu"...what is the context ? Did they support him to overthrow the king ? Or did they support him when he was already the ruler of Ethiopia or did they support him in a war ? (Which would be when he was already the ruler) The context ! Stop being vague and quoting propaganda! erniok: |

Ghostagain: So we can agree that at one point that they tried colonizing poland. Please what made them entitled to polish territory. Care to explain? FYI: never in my post did I absolve Nazi Germany of any blame. They were then, the king of land grabber. |
Re: Russia-Ukraine War: World News, Weapons & Battlefield Discussions - Live by Ghostagain: 1:24pm |
You don't understand what the word "colonize" means. The USSR expanded. Citizens of eastern Poland weren't meant to be 3rd class citizens of the USSR. It was just a country getting bigger, and Mr man that part of Poland is still not part of Poland today, its called western Ukraine as we speak, why don't you take your hanger out on Ukraine and demand Ukraine return that land to Poland? Also the dictator who took that land from Poland was a man from Georgia! But russian federation of today (not Georgia) gets the blame! History is not easy and you svck at it. erniok: 3 Likes 1 Share |

Ghostagain:expansion...thats such a subtle word to use, isn't it. The Russian conquest of Siberia took place during 1580–1778, when the Khanate of Sibir became a loose political structure of vassalages that were being undermined by the activities of Russian explorers. Although outnumbered, the Russians pressured the various family-based tribes into changing their loyalties and establishing distant forts from which they conducted raids. It is traditionally considered that Yermak Timofeyevich's campaign against the Siberian Khanate began in 1580. The annexation of Siberia and the Far East to Russia was resisted by local residents and took place against the backdrop of fierce battles between the Indigenous peoples of Siberia and the Russian Cossacks, who often committed atrocities against Indigenous Siberians. A second ideological pillar justifying Russian colonialism was the spread of Eastern Orthodox Christianity, although this pretext originated largely from explorers and settlers themselves as an ad hoc justification rather than being put forward by the Russian Orthodox Church itself. 1 Like

You are falling for his trap, you are being outsmarted by him. Don't reply when you are not properly educated on a topic, take the time to get the education on the topic before replying. The USSR was not the only state which supported Ethiopia, all the major powers did. Jovi10: |
