You appear to have not been following the posts. I am not neutral. As i pointed out to Woosh I am against both sides in this issue. .

Agreed that Ukraine were heading away from Russia by 2014, but by starting at that point you completely ignore all the prior US underhand influences on them to head that way. But you are completely wrong that Putin was prepared to use force to stop EU entry for Ukraine. He has no problem with...

Why don't you stick to what I post instead of replying with the ridiculous? I illustrated all the US actions with ill effects from 1948 to the present day. In other words current history within the lifetime of many, showing a continuing persistent evil that is still here right now. At least...

It is not in any way incoherent to condemn both. The USA's politicians misused their power by interference in Russian affairs, resulting in Putin getting into power to misuse his position. The world is bad enough without needing the USA's incompetent politicians creating all the messes I...

One that only exists in your mind, due to reading with a prior biased view. .

Have I said that? No I haven't. Don't like Danidl pretend I've posted what I haven't. Having a foreign policy doesn't include interfering with a country's internal affairs, nor does it include invading another country for no good reason, nor does it include engineering and conducting proxy...

What a strange point of view! Of course they should do nothing with regard to the internal business of any other country. It's none of their business. Given the appalling mess they made by such interference from 1948 on, in such as Palestine, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq, Libya, Afghanistan and not...

Fully agree, he can't do that without high cost as current events show. None of this need ever have happened if the USA had not interfered with other's business, always thinking they know best when they very obviously never do. The eventual sad thing is that Russia will come out of this with...

He really is politically dumb to make a statement like that. .

My post did not in any way give the impression " that they were an indigenous population being trampled down against their will." Except perhaps in your imagination. As I asked before, please stop distorting what I post by deliberately mispresenting it. This whole reply from you is a...

I remember of course, since I started it. BUT, it was only ever intended to be a link to an informative radio program about leaving the EU. I had no intention that it should be a continuing thread. But for some odd reason those discussing the referendum in an existing thread jumped ship. The...

I'm all for that, kick out all the former Warsaw Pact and Johnny come lately members of the EU and restore the true original 12 member EU of 7 February 1992: Great Britain, France, Germany, the Irish Republic, Spain, Portugal, Italy, Greece, Denmark, Luxembourg, Belgium, and the Netherlands. .

You'll need to explain how this links to my reply to Danidl. First Danidl's reference to my icon, whatever he means by that. Now this obtuse response from you. This forum gets ever more baffling. Yet I'm the one JA accuses of using illicit drugs or alcohol, neither of which I do! .

Yes, our admin in here will always do that. That said though, bans are extremely rare, both administrators being very tolerant and always attempting to guide behaviour with advice, rather than ban. .

See my answer above and stop pretending I posted my own facts. My post was a factual one on the relative populations, as you acknowledged you knew. I don't know what you mean by my "icon". Are you referring to my avatar? .

Now you are just being cussed with your opening sentences. Your fourth sentence showed you knew exactly what I meant in my post, the relative populations, but you just wanted to make out I'd meant something different. You really can be such a obvious twerp at times. .

Not surprised, North Donetsk inland is very vulnerable since it's always been mostly Ukrainian. The coastal region will be a different story. .

Whether they expected it or not didn't matter. The Ukrainians were clearly ready for an attack, as both the successful defence of the airport and their attacks on Russian convoys creating transport blockades showed. It was both Russia and the west who were surprised, neither expecting that...

Having completely failed to produce a safe driverless car, Musk turns to gimmickry with a copy of what the Japanese did long ago more successfully. .

Not wishful thinking, I've never wished any of this and have preached peace throughout the whole of this discussion. There you go again, falling for all the propaganda. The reversals of Russian gains are being greatly exaggerated as propaganda, since in reality they are of empty areas of...
