    Couldn’t find anything good to say about Russia that wasn’t a joke line?

      That was a quick change of subject.

        I’m not the one who tried to change the subject.

      I’m saying the Russia/Ukraine situation seems very analogous to the Vietnam/Cambodia situation.

        Who were the Ukrainians killing before Russia came to save them?

            And who was president of Ukraine while that was happening? Viktor Yanukovich, pro-Russian stooge and convicted traitor.

            Now, why would a pro-Russian Ukrainian be giving Russia cover to invade Ukraine? I’m sure we’ll never know, but maybe there are some falsehoods we can flag and eliminate from consideration.

              No, it was Petro Poroschenko, the pro-European billionaire installed as president by an American-backed coup.

                Russia invaded the Donbas in April 2014. Poroshenko didn’t become president until June.

                Jesus, you all don’t even know your own history.

                    Yes, at which time Russia had been illegally invading the Donbas for about 7 months. Try and keep up.

        I agree we need Ukraine to stop Putin.
