The NATO - Russia Thread

[Slant]

The amount of verified sources is astounding.

LOL, is the fact that I quote one source instead of 10 really the only thing that you can bitch about? Cute...

You can post a hundred different sites citing it, they are not sources. There are a lot of statements, quotes and paraphrasing in the article which do not have verified sources.

I swear I read it somewhere. When I stumble across it again, I'll link it here... fucking media :P

Ah, here it is: https://www.washingtonpost.com/opini...2017&tid=ss_tw

yes, exactly, taking such a a bullshit without any proofs is immature.

Loved that part:

In a series of secret memos sent back to Washington, described to me by several current and former U.S. officials who have written or read them, diplomats reported that Russian intruders had broken into their homes late at night, only to rearrange the furniture or turn on all the lights and televisions, and then leave. One diplomat reported that an intruder had defecated on his living room carpet.

So secret, omg. Could they at least film a poop on carpet, just to have at least shitty evidence?

That would've been funny, true.

It didn't help that Putin had Russia's long term ally Assad in Syria terrorize Sunni Syrians and herding them like cattle into the EU so they claim refugee status. He did this to destabilize the EU, the Brexit being an example of this destabilization.

This is basically an attack on NATO don't you think?

Majority of refugees are not from Syria, good morning.

[Cybran]

Yeah, harassing and intimidating diplomats. Totally nonsense.

If it was actually happening there would be evidence. There is none, so it's just bullshit.

Gotta remember that for later. That statement sure will come useful.

Critical thinking is a statement now?

So, Crimea became Ukrainian in 1954 and was retaken by Russia in 2014. That means anyone under the age of 60 (not 50, your math is as bad as your military knowledge it seems) born in Crimea would be Ukrainian. Life expectancy in Russia is 66m/77f and 64m/74f in Ukraine. That means very few men born in Crimea were born Russians and only slightly more women would have. The vast majority would have been born Ukrainian.

There s a difference between being ukrainian as a citizen or ethnically, citizenship means much less in this case. In Russia we have even different words for that, rossiyanin that means you are citizen of russia, and russkiy that means you are ethnically russian.

Do you think if i send an email asking Putin to grand me citizenship, he will respond?

Oh my, this is gold.

There could be evidence coming out of your ass and you wouldn't believe it. Someone has to remind me why we bother with Cryban again.

Oh my, this is gold.

You should ask him his opinion on oil and gasoline if you want gold.

Of course. The Mediterranean is russian waters, after all.

I like it how when the news makes a Western country look bad, a link to a story from RT as a "source" is enough. But when it makes Russia look bad, then multiple links with sources is not. Even though a Russian official, when asked about the harassment of diplomats, couldn't say anything better than, "Our diplomats in the US are being harassed too".

The US Navy just did what I think most people do to asshole drivers on the highway. It's as simple as that.

Hopefully it will be a deescalation point.

On the contrary. We're just getting started.

One of those American diplomats said somebody killed his dog. Now I feel sad. If it is true, that was a massive dick move.

Its worth noting that yet again the Obama Administration has chosen not to retaliate in anyway. Because of course they would. Heaven forbid he ever throws a punch in anger.

205 days left until that weak son of a bitch is gone.
