You can post whatever links you like but there are two sides to every story.

 

Nah, Moldova would be next. He’s already got agitators in there fermenting trouble. Then the Baltics. He’d only go for Poland if NATO didn’t respond to the first ones.
I agree that he doesn’t have the resources at the moment. But he’s playing a long game. He wants to be remembered as the man who reestablished Russian control of Eastern Europe.

 

Whether you like him or loathe him, Putin came across as honest and genuine in that Tucker Carlson interview and backed up everything he said.

The hypocrisy from our mainstream media towards Ukraine is almost insulting. Before the conflict started, Ukraine was rightly reported as a nazi haven who served Zelenskyy directly. Once Russia are involved, Zelenskyy and Ukraine is a tolerant, peaceful, lgbt-loving, diverse society. Give me a break.

 

Long game? He's still years away from controlling a small part of Ukraine that's on Russia's border. He ain't even contemplating bigger fish like Poland.

 

Yeah, a Nazi nation that freely elected a Jewish President. Right

 

Usually I would, I often agree with your posts but you're miles out with this ....

 

In the same way lefties call British right-wingers nazi's who wave Israel flags?

 

Do they? I have an extensive network of moderate left friends and none of them would do that. They might call Tommy Robinson types Nazis, buts that because they are, which has nothing whatsoever to do with Israel. I can’t speak for far left types, because I don’t have anything to do with them.
Clearly Ukraine, like many countries, has its racism and discrimination issues. But when Putin talks about Ukrainians being Nazis he’s not referring to that. He means anyone who believes in Ukraine’s discreet cultural history and rejects his false notion that Ukraine is, and has always been, simply a region of Russia.

 

That's just plain false. I could understand islamophobe, but certainly not a nazi. I'm surprised a man of your intellect doesn't have a reasonably comprehensive understanding of what a nazi ideology is.

Practically every left-wing counter-demo to anybody labelled right-wing have banners, placards and are chanting about nazis. Hence why I say it's a widespread left wing viewpoint to just aimlessly label a right wing viewpoint as nazi. It's typical lazy leftism.

Anybody opposed to topics such as immigration, asylum seeking etc is generally labelled a nazi in the left's eyes. The left pretty much see our national flag as a swastika (the England flag) when it is waved in any form of nationalistic pride (with perhaps the exception of sporting events).

 

Most left wing activists don't even know the meaning of the word nazi (I won't include @Offcomedun in that). It's thrown around like the word racism by folk should really know better but choose to throw buzzwords into the debate designed to shut down discussion.

 

Just seen that Putin is backing Biden in the US election

 

I’m well aware that there’s a difference between being opposed to immigration and having neo-Nazi views. I well remember the National Front and British movement marches of the sixties, seventies and eighties. Many of those people were believers in Hitler’s views about Aryan racial superiority. There are still plenty of those people around in British far right groups of the type figureheaded by Tommy Robinson and his ilk. I can’t believe that you would seriously dispute this.

 

Spot on.

 

Like i said, two sides to every story. What you choose to read or believe is of course open to the individuals choice based on someones narrative. I've read the piece by Snyder, but then i've also read correspondence from others which paints a different agenda. No criticism on my part, i enjoy reading between the lines and making my own judgements.

 

Why would you think otherwise?

 

I assume you have seen the vote share?

 

Yes. What’s your point?
