And I called you out on that. That's what kicked this all off, if you recall. really had nothing to do with it and was just you jerking yourself off to the correctness of your "neutral" position
Let's be perfectly fucking clear here. NATO help was about, it was always about, countering Russian ambitions. Your insertion of Ukrainian fantasy invasions is just the voices in your head. The west didn't give help so that they could go on an offensive that would likely bring in Russia. It would be a PR and strategic disaster. Strings were attached.
You didn't call me out on shit you dumb boomer faggot, I'm the one who replied to you. If your old-age addled brain can't remember it, there's a reason you can go backwards in the forum pages, exactly so you don't come out with retarded posts like this.
Your sperg revisionist history lesson
Still haven't said what parts of my posts were revisionist.
that I pretty much ignored
I know you ignored it, grandpa, because your posts have no arguments in them and are essentially shit recycled off from low quality Red Scare posters from the 1970s, and you don't know anything about this conflict other than "Russia invaded Ukraine".
Your insertion of Ukrainian fantasy invasions
Sincerely how fucking retarded do you have to be to think that Ukraine was going to want a frozen conflict within their borders for the remainder of Earth's lifespan?
The west didn't give help so that they could go on an offensive
And the Ukrainians have absolutely zero say on what they do, militarily and politically, through several administrations? Again, this stupid fucking American mindset of "we gave them guns so they now have to do what we want forever!" is so fucking stupid and characteristic of your retarded generation that it's literally painful to have to argue against in Current Year. This shit has backfired a MILLION TIMES.
It would be a PR and strategic disaster
Again, quick decapitation of LPR/DPR. War over in 3 days before Russia can do anything about it. Conflict over with, minimal casualties, territory regained. NATO membership and full time protection from Russian invasions soon. It isn't that hard to fucking comprehend unless you're a complete mongoloid.
PS: Since you're so fucking stupid that you already forgot the original posts, here's the relevant part again, where I literally addressed what you said in your last paragraph.
Yes, because Ukraine was surely planning to never deal with the separatists ever, since they totally didn't want to join NATO to prevent exactly what happened.
I'm sure they were preparing for the strong possibility of a Russian invasion as well, but it's a joke to say they didn't want to eventually take a crack at the LDPR. Hell, maybe they were preparing for a Russian invasion in response to a real military campaign against the separatists, instead of what happened.
Your entire argument is accusing me of being a vatnik, which I am the furthest thing from (I have been very critical of Russia's handling of this war, military incompetence and general political system, as well as Putin himself), and continuously willfully misinterpreting or straight up not even reading my posts. It's the lowest quality of shitposts there is. All you've been doing is contributing to the lowering of quality of this thread by refusing to engage in honest discussion and instead smearing shit all over the forum's proverbial walls.
