Before 2022, Russia occupied 42,000 km2 (16,000 sq mi) of Ukrainian territory (Crimea, and parts of Donetsk and Luhansk), and occupied an additional 119,000 km2 (46,000 sq mi) after its full-scale invasion by March 2022, a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine’s territory.[8] By 11 November, the Institute for the Study of War calculated that Ukrainian forces had liberated an area of 74,443 km2 (28,743 sq mi) from Russian occupation,[9] leaving Russia with control of about 18% of Ukraine’s territory.

You’re right my math was off: 74,443/161,000=46% liberated

How is this math accurate?
Only got back $.10? Ukraine regained 33% or so of their captured land (or 50%-52% regained of the land lost since the second invasion). So, it would be around $16 or $17 (or $25-26 for the second invasion).

So the bully now has now attacked and lost use of several fingers, lost several teeth, and is now deaf in one ear … Same goes for his friend he conscripted to help. Plus his work told him he is getting a pay cut (sanctions)

But I don’t think could deprogram your propagandized brain.

If you can, keep going on the Expanse. I think seasons 2 and 3 are some of the best sci-fi ever made.

I love Firefly. Nothing to add about that, just wanted to state that.

So name a law BEFORE the invasion (2014)… Remember you are trying to justify the illegal invasion. It looks like the stuff you list was in response to the invasion.

Let me think… Why would countries want to join NATO. could it be Moldova, Georgia, Abkhazia… Seems like there is a need. Seems like Putin is trying to rebuild the USSR.

Okay, the Soviets used Nazi slogans, got it

Wow, Stalin not that bad? He’s not as bad as Hitler but still close. Stalin was just over a longer span of time. To the point the Soviet union even tried to De-Stalinization the Soviet union. My parents grew up under Soviet oppression and it was not a good time.

You’re the one making claims of laws that are responsible for ethnic cleansing, so you should be able to provide some examples.

There are no nukes in the Baltic states (they are already NATO members but Ukraine isn’t), why would they put nukes in the Ukraine? Plus the US and Russia could already hit anywhere in the world already. So, it’s a made up threat to try to justify an invasion.

Slogans can have different meanings depending on context. If Ukraine was invading other countries, then Glory to Ukraine might sound like they are superior but if they are defending it sounds like they will be victorious. Plus, Slava Ukraine sounds more like a the Soviet union slogan “glory to the motherland.”

Man, if you think that historical context are excuses. You could never read a history book then… Which might actually explain a lot…

Putin did break the treaty he invaded the boarders of Ukraine. You can’t illegally invade a country then have an illegal vote to declare a breakaway regions under an military occupation.

Stalin defeated the Nazis then proceeded to kill millions of people… And you wonder why so many former Soviet countries want to join NATO for protection. One monster replaced with another.

Please list some laws.

What was the threat against Russia? Were they going to invaded Russia? Ukraine barely had an army. Ukraine gave up it’s nuclear weapons in the 1990s in exchange for security protections, signed by Russia, Ukraine, Britain and the United States, promised that none of the nations would use force or threats against Ukraine and all would respect its sovereignty and existing borders (Budapest Memorandum). Putin broke that treaty and is trying to create his dollar store version of the Soviet union by invading other countries.

So, explaining historical context is apologizing for Nazis?

Slava Ukraine is said by Ukraine, I never said it wasn’t. But you never explained how that makes them Nazis. If Ukraine was invading other countries, it might have a different meaning but it’s just them defending their country. If their slogan was “heil Hitler” you might have a point.

Wow, thousands of wanna-be neo-Nazis!!! Out of a population of 43 million. So, like .002% of the population!!! You’re right, that’s not a minority!

I say the picture of zelenskyy is fake… If I just say it, it must be true.

Okay, Stalin. So, you just resort to name calling… I can too. Hitler and Stalin were monsters and it’s sad to see that Putin is acting like a mashup of the two of them.

So there is overwhelming evidence of ethnic cleansing? I have yet to see any. In the age of cell phones, there would be so much evidence.

I’m sure there are some people in Russia asking the United States to remove the dictator Putin from power… Yet, the United States didn’t invade Russia. You don’t get to just invade a sovereign country because a very small number of people asking.

That’s your evidence of being the Nazi collaborator flags in the background? Ukrainian Insurgent Army fought with the Nazis trying to free Ukraine from the soviets, as some fought with soviets to free Ukraine from the Nazis. Both were fighting to free Ukraine. Finland joined the Nazis, not because they agreed with the Nazis but to fight against the invading soviets.

Sadly there are many places that have neo-nazis, but they are in the minority. Neo-nazis exist in places hurt by the Nazis greatly, like Poland, France, Britain and even Russia.

Here is Putin standing with a Russia Nazi: https://romea.cz/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fromea.cz%2Fapp%2Fuploads%2F2022%2F02%2Futkin.jpg&w=1200&q=75

And you just attack a slogan that basically says victory to Ukraine from the invaders? Now you’re not even trying

So, Ukraine was invaded (twice) by Russia with no provocation… but he brought the war? Seems like Russia brought the war and he’s doing right by the Ukrainian people by defending Ukraine.

And by all means, please list all the ways the he is a Nazi collaborator and traitor to the Ukrainian people, with sources please.

I would most likely fix my bad bite. The older I get I feel like it’s causing more and more problems.

“A confidential source told the FBI that Stager had claimed he did not know the man was a police officer and thought he was striking a member of the far-left Antifa movement.”

“second video shows Stager saying: “Everybody in there is a treasonous traitor. Death is the only remedy for what’s in that building,” in apparent reference to members of Congress and law enforcement.”

A. I guess it’s just okay to beat someone you disagree with, right?

B. Also, why would anti-fascist, want to instate a wannabe fascist?

Oh no, they took down pictures of Hunter Biden’s penis!

The popular ones that come to mind (unpopular opinions):

-Hyperion by Dan Simmons. Tried twice and couldn’t even finish it.

-Pandora’s Star by Peter F. Hamilton. Tried reading it twice and audiobook twice, give up each time.

-The Long Way to a Small, Angry Planet by Becky Chambers. Finished it but it didn’t really like it.

-Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin. Finished it but didn’t really care about anything going on in the book.

Currently: Simpsons, Futurama and the most recent addition Star Trek lower decks, Harmon Quest (at least the first season)

Other shows I used to rewatch a lot: Stargate sg1, Stargate Atlantis, Avatar the last Airbender, Final Space, parks and rec.

Just switched to Connect from Summit and Jerboa. So far so good. I have it setup closer to what I had with RIF, I switched it to reverse list, and amoled theme and darkened up the comment box color.
