    ^ Just a matter of time before they accidentally lob cruise missile into Poland. Ten miles is fairly close.

    They could aim for hoohoo's brain. Plenty of empty space there so it would be safe.

    Tbf to the Ukrainians, they're fighting an honest battle.

    Plenty of other countries would have triggered explosions and dragged the Poles and NATO into the war already.

    Mconalds left Donetsk and Crimea in 2014. But the local franchisees just changed the name to DonMak and carried on. Russia will not honor trademarks or patenents from the countries that sanctioned it going forward

    Russia says its businesses can steal patents from anyone in ‘unfriendly’ countries

    I dont even like posting stuff like this. Its a war that should not happen. Because its something Ukraine cannot win. But the propaganda coming from the western media convinces more ppl to go and die. Including Ukrainians themselves. Like Mexico vs the US.

    ^^ Looking at that, it sure appears to be a good example of propaganda from the Russian side. They are better at it than the West.

    You obviously rely on memes for your info. I'm not saying it's false, but post a link to the actual article for once.

    Teak Door members aren't the only ones falling for it. From Heather Cox Richardson's blog....

    "Former representative Tulsi Gabbard (D-HI) released a video today echoing Russia’s false story of “25 to 30 U.S. funded bio labs in Ukraine,” and demanded a ceasefire to secure them.
    Later this afternoon, White House press secretary Jen Psaki tweeted: “This is preposterous. It’s the kind of disinformation operation we’ve seen repeatedly from the Russians over the years in Ukraine and in other countries, which have been debunked, and an example of the types of false pretexts we have been warning the Russians would invent.” Senator Mitt Romney (R-UT) slammed Gabbard for “parroting false Russian propaganda.”
    David Corn of Mother Jones today broke another news story: a Russian government agency distributed a 12-page document to media outlets telling them, “It is essential to use as much as possible fragments of broadcasts of the popular Fox News host Tucker Carlson, who sharply criticizes the actions of the United States [and] NATO, their negative role in unleashing the conflict in Ukraine, [and] the defiantly provocative behavior from the leadership of the Western countries and NATO towards the Russian Federation and towards President Putin, personally….”
    The call to feature Carlson is in the section titled “Victory in Information War.”

    There is proof of it in this very thread oh lazer of pinpoint accuracy! And it was admitted to recently by no less than "Fuck the EU" Nuland before a Senate Committee.

    The following is the transcript of the exchange between Rubio and Nuland:

    Sen. Marco Rubio: Does Ukraine have chemical or biological weapons?

    Victoria Nuland: Ukraine has biological research facilities which, in fact, we’re now quite concerned Russian troops, Russian forces may be seeking to gain control of, so we are working with the Ukrainians on how we can prevent any of those research materials from falling into the hands of Russian forces should they approach.

    Sen. Marco Rubio: I’m sure you’re aware that the Russian propaganda groups are already putting out there all kinds of information about how they have uncovered a plot by the Ukrainians to unleash biological weapons in the country, and with NATO’s coordination.

    If there is a biological or chemical weapon incident or attack inside Ukraine, is there any doubt in your mind that 100% it would be the Russians behind it?

    Victoria Nuland: There is no doubt in my mind, senator. And in fact, it is a classic Russian technique to blame the other guy for what they are planning to do themselves.


    Why oh why do you allow yourselves to be lied to so easily.

    I really don't know how good the Russians are at propaganda, but if they are better than the west they must be pretty damn good.
    I mean listen you you guys, you have bought the western narrative hook line and sinker.
    The head line I have seen a hundred times and the sentiment you all have repeated is:
    Putin Wants To Restore the Soviet Union
    be scared, be very very scared.
    Vladimir Putin Wants To Restore the Soviet Union, Former Secretary of Defense Says | World Report | US News
    The fact of the mater is that the Crimea and Ukraine were part of the Russian empire almost as long as the US has existed as an independent country. some might argue longer , much longer.
    The sooner you fall behind, the more time you have to catch up.

    The Western narrative is that Russia invaded a sovereign democratic country. Are you saying they didn't?

    Longevity is not the best measure to determine current sovereignty. By your method the UK would be broken into parts already.
    The better method is to let the people decide. Much better than any grandiose claims in support of Putin’s War.

    Indeed- as long as they agree with us. But if they don't, they must have had a gun held to their head, the elections were rigged, or those people don't know what they really want they because are so brainwashed, po' thangs. Therefore we are obliged to help them out with a nice dose of Freedom and Democracy. It is our Patriotic duty.

    You support the theft of intellectual property rights, and resort to childish Willy waving over rockets!

    While there are issues that concern me on both sides, I prefer to use critical analysis of various claims by both sides. In addition, the biggest influence for me, has to be the total lack of morality displayed by Russia and their ‘special operation’ in Ukraine.
    Such analysis takes time of course, but it’s much easier if you rely on spurious c&p like you do.

    Your support for theft is the final straw for me, with your poorly considered, infantile posts. Maybe you should join OhOh and get paid for your trolling stupidity.

    I wonder how the US reacted when the South wanted it's independence? And I wonder how it will if any states want to secede now.
