that ignores the point random thoughts Send a noteboard - 06/03/2014 02:01:09 PM

We promised them that their borders would be honored if they signed a nonproliferation treaty and gave up their nukes. Twenty years later the nation they gave their nukes to has invaded them and are using military force to set up a bogus referendum to steal part of their nation and the other nations has signed onto that promise are standing around make hollow promises of support.

The world is short sighted and naive if they don't think the next nation asked to sign or even honor a nonproliferation treaty won't look at this example. Hell, one of the arguments I keep hearing for not standing up to Putin is we need his help in Iran. I don't see how this sort of blatant disregard for the promises made to Ukraine will help the negotiations with Iran.

i like obama and even i think that was dumb of him. *NM* temeraire - 01/03/2014 05:24:39 AM 555 Views
yep yep. why do you hate on Kerry, though ? *NM* AgentApple - 01/03/2014 08:11:52 AM 446 Views
He's a useless asshat. *NM* Tom - 01/03/2014 04:14:54 PM 462 Views
He's not the only lame duck in this, though. DomA - 01/03/2014 05:41:01 PM 1036 Views
It's a little more complicated than that, I think. Legolas - 01/03/2014 07:42:20 PM 899 Views
It's always more complicated... DomA - 01/03/2014 08:57:54 PM 890 Views
Yes yes yes. This. Tom - 01/03/2014 09:11:19 PM 820 Views
Well, we split on that then - I most certainly do not support such an annexation. Legolas - 01/03/2014 10:25:48 PM 828 Views
Any reason you keep misspelling Sevastopol? Tom - 02/03/2014 12:52:01 AM 1012 Views
You write "the Ukraine", while calling me old-fashioned? Legolas - 02/03/2014 01:57:58 AM 888 Views
Yes. Dropping "the" is an anti-Russian move. It will always be the Ukraine. Tom - 02/03/2014 02:58:32 AM 896 Views
Just because there's an article in Russian doesn't mean there has to be one in English. Legolas - 02/03/2014 11:21:25 AM 836 Views
I say the Sudan and the Congo. Tom - 02/03/2014 02:17:33 PM 889 Views
You do? Why? Legolas - 02/03/2014 03:21:56 PM 971 Views
As with most analysis at the Guardian, I think it's wrong. Tom - 02/03/2014 05:00:20 PM 884 Views
This one from a former advisor of Reagan-Bush might be closer to your views DomA - 05/03/2014 09:01:13 PM 1059 Views
" la Crimée vaut bien un tiramisu" - I liked that. Tom - 05/03/2014 11:06:55 PM 906 Views
Yeah, I laughed reading that too. The original piece in English was probably better... DomA - 06/03/2014 02:08:03 AM 905 Views
I don't think it's limited to Crimea. They will likely occupy Eastern Ukraine as well. Tom - 01/03/2014 09:08:56 PM 845 Views
its going to be hard to find support from the West MrFarstrider - 01/03/2014 06:37:15 PM 842 Views
Well, no one in Europe or the US has any direct interest here. Tom - 01/03/2014 09:13:36 PM 782 Views
Obama is weak and is viewed as a joke by most of the world. Anonymous2000 - 03/03/2014 04:12:25 PM 773 Views
Don't worry, not as much as the ape before him *NM* ironclad - 04/03/2014 03:23:14 PM 477 Views
So what's your plan of action? Jay Sherman - 03/03/2014 11:25:59 PM 845 Views
My plan of action is to let Putin have Ukraine. We have no interests there. *NM* Tom - 04/03/2014 01:29:45 AM 488 Views
Ehem. Why are you being anti-Russian? ;-) The Shrike - 04/03/2014 01:25:37 PM 874 Views
Lack of space in a subject line that was the entire message. Tom - 04/03/2014 02:21:49 PM 841 Views
I watch дождь via etvnet.com. Lovely site for all Russian TV. The Shrike - 04/03/2014 08:23:58 PM 837 Views
I like their criticism of Putin generally, but I don't buy the "enemy of my enemy" position. Tom - 05/03/2014 11:39:15 PM 803 Views
Of course we do random thoughts - 04/03/2014 04:57:09 PM 871 Views
Wrong. Tom - 04/03/2014 06:04:31 PM 776 Views
that ignores the point random thoughts - 06/03/2014 02:01:09 PM 1027 Views
No, it doesn't. Tom - 06/03/2014 02:57:16 PM 801 Views
Re: No, it doesn't. random thoughts - 06/03/2014 06:22:32 PM 863 Views
Yes, the US violated the agreement. Tom - 06/03/2014 07:27:23 PM 918 Views
I have answered your question but you have still refused to answer my point random thoughts - 07/03/2014 01:48:53 PM 846 Views
You assume that the Ukraine's borders should be inviolate. Tom - 09/03/2014 05:56:45 PM 867 Views
Russia signed an agreement to not violate those borders random thoughts - 10/03/2014 12:18:37 PM 815 Views
Yes, and we signed the UN Charter, but invaded Kosovo anyway. Your point? Tom - 10/03/2014 01:10:33 PM 789 Views
Oh, and now the West is talking about $15 billion in loans for Ukraine. Tom - 05/03/2014 11:41:12 PM 809 Views
And you see that as the same thing as sending in troops? random thoughts - 06/03/2014 01:37:28 PM 808 Views
I think you've listened to too much propaganda from the 1990s. Tom - 06/03/2014 03:06:18 PM 769 Views
More like the 80s random thoughts - 07/03/2014 01:50:43 PM 825 Views
So I guess traveling to Russia extensively is of no value. Tom - 09/03/2014 05:58:00 PM 773 Views
in this case no it doesn't. random thoughts - 10/03/2014 12:20:13 PM 781 Views
Right...do you understand how stupid that made you sound? Tom - 10/03/2014 01:11:34 PM 776 Views
Or alternatively, it made him sound as someone who was just referring to something else than you. Legolas - 10/03/2014 08:14:00 PM 830 Views
The junk they used in Chechnya was laughable... everynametaken - 16/03/2014 01:51:28 AM 961 Views
Its a great time to throw some missiles in Poland MrFarstrider - 04/03/2014 03:43:24 AM 877 Views
Call me crazy, but I like this idea! MonCul - 04/03/2014 12:31:07 PM 992 Views
There are no longer two super powers *NM* random thoughts - 04/03/2014 04:40:16 PM 452 Views
Under Obama, it would seem there are none. *NM* Tom - 04/03/2014 06:15:27 PM 429 Views
