    Ahh yes the anti-Imperialist Russia, what are they up to at the moment? Surely not executing an imperialist land grab?

      Russia isn’t annexing Ukraine for a land grab, its defending itself against yet another US-ran proxy war

        Huh. So they needed to launch an unprovoked invasion of Ukraine to protect themselves from the United States? Make that make sense. Good luck.

          It is simple, it was provoked. Russia was acting on the basis that the Nazi regime, maintained by the US, in Ukraine was a growing threat to their safety and security

            You need to go back to your employers in Russia and tell them you need new scripts. No one believes that horseshit your peddling.

              Good one! No, Russia had credible reasons, Israel did it on completely unfounded and unjustifiable reasons based on hate

                And why do you find it it okay to attack if somebody feels threatened? Feeling threatened is a completely subjective & emotional thing. Not something I would want leaders to wager peoples life on. But again: you do you, pal.

                What credible reason and sources do you have to support that there was some kind of threat that deserved an invasion?

                Also American media is corrupt no doubt. But that doesn’t make RT today equal or superior. RT will do what American media did during the Iraq war just with much greater bullshit and less credibility.

                As far as I’ve seen. There’s a good reason to believe what you said is pretty much a bullshit line from the Kremlin similar to WMD in Iraq. Which a lot of us here recognize because we’ve been through it.
