Do you get these ideas from RT? Or from InfoWars? At least it puts the idea that I have no credibility to rest when you make claims like this.

To compare the situations in Yemen, nasty though it undoubtedly is, with what Putin has done with Ukraine, is to make another attempt at comparing chalk with cheese. The Iranian backed Houthi movement are a universe away from the sovereign nation that is Ukraine. For sure, a peace deal is urgently needed in Yemen, but there is no threat there to any Nato member, or world peace.

It has nothing to do with any "support for Biden", which is a nonsensical concept anyway. I support the USA's leadership on the Nato response to Putin's invasion and brutal war.

For the avoidance of doubt any comments in response to a previous post are directed to its ideas and not at any, or all, posters personally.

So to state the obvious means I watch RT or InfoWars does it.....Do you even know what is said on those channels because I don't. Can we even get RT?

Your dismissal of Yemen is quite incredible statement.....just made with nothing to back it. Innocent people dying there bleed the same blood as in Ukraine don't they? But I noticed no great big moral obsession over that one.

The Ukraine was the most corrupt state in Europe (mmm...wonder why the Bidens were there).

My original contention stands, the idea that you would have a cold war over the Crimea is nutty....it's practically fully Russian.

It's not the least incredible. It's the truth. Try studying the history of the conflict before making stupid remarks. There's loads to back it up but, as you are so fond of saying, I am not your researcher.

I am not dismissing in any way the suffering of the innocent people there, which is why I said, and mean, that a peace deal is urgently needed.

The sole point I was making was regarding the international context and potential to spread beyond its current borders. You might not care about that, but I do.

Whether, or not, Ukraine was the most corrupt state in Europe is an irrelevance, as is your pathetic side snipe at Biden, a subject you are becoming increasingly tedious about. Nothing at all justifies Putin's invasion and nothing that Ukraine may, or may not be, diminishes the threat to other countries of failing to respond.

We should have nipped this in the bud when he went into Crimea. Putin should have been made a pariah then. Cultural and sporting links should have been cut. He should have been cold shouldered everywhere. We should have immediately given notice of our intention to stop buying energy from Russia. The financial Cold War could have been kept in reserve. Nato should have beefed up its defensive capabilities on its eastern flank and served notice that enough was enough. That might have stopped this!

You are a user of Gab. RT can be found there and there are thousands, maybe even millions of web users circulating Alex Jones's nonsense. If it reaches me, and it does, then I am sure you can access it too.

I am a user of Gab, I'm a user of several platforms. Nevertheless Alex Jones isn't really my thing.

You could apply that logic to a huge number of scenarios. When Russia annexed Crimea, it held a referendum with its troops still on the streets, and with a loaded question. It got a 97% yes. With a gun at my head, I would probably have voted yes too! Nobody trusts the result. Just because people are ethnically Russian doesn't mean they want to be part of Russia. Economically and politically, they would be better off with a western facing Ukraine. Apparently there are many Russian speakers fighting for Ukraine. It's a complex situation which Putin presents in a simple way. The plain fact is, he invaded then, as he has invaded now. Putin doesn't care about the people of Crimea any more than he cares about those in Donbass. He wants to control the Black Sea ports and cut off Ukrainian export routes. This is about power. It has zilch to do with liberation.

What weapons Nato decides to deploy, and where, will solely depend on their assessment of what will best deter Russian aggression. As soon as the threat levels go down, so can the level of defensive and deterrent capabilities. I am no more competent to judge that than you.

What government exists in Ukraine is for the people of Ukraine to determine. We have no more right to impose anything on them, neutrality included, than Putin has.
