    Third Republican backs effort to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson

    The whole "NATO aggressively expanded towards Russia" really loses all of its weight once it's pointed out that there was no actual substantial buildup of NATO forces on Russias border.

    Third Republican backs effort to oust House Speaker Mike Johnson

    That's already the case. In fact because of Russian actions the Baltic is now effectively a NATO lake.

    Developments in the Ukraine War

    Because they were protestors. A riot involves violent crime. You are just trying to frame them as such because you dont want to treat Euromaiden as what it was, a protest against a blatant case of government corruption. The protests prior to November 30th do not constitute a riot.

    Developments in the Ukraine War

    The commentary provided by the pro-Russian side above really just reveals their own lack of understanding of the history they debate about; in real life the 30 November attacks by the Berkut on protestors was the spark that turned Euromaiden from a policy based protest centered around...

    Developments in the Ukraine War

    What power you think Nuland has, where a single phone call can mobilize nearly half a million people. Someone should tell her of her abilities.

    Developments in the Ukraine War

    Because you are engaging in dishonest framing of what happened. The first acts of violence were initiated by the Berkut on November 30th. It was so egregious that even Yanukovych's government had to apologize.

    Developments in the Ukraine War

    No, there's a difference between a revolution and an insurrection. Acts of violence at Euromaiden were instigated by security forces abducting and murdering protestors.

    Developments in the Ukraine War

    1) No it wasn't. Euromaiden was a popular revolution. 2) Euromaiden had the backing of the majority of Ukrainians.

    Army Expanding Pre-Basic Training Prep Courses to Bring in More Soldiers and Curb Recruiting Crisis

    I couldn't pay someone to argue as poorly as you are doing right now. Double hilarious because both I and yous source citing drunk driving as an example of ignorance of the law not working.

    You linked to a page littered with self admittance that "we were unable to verify" and similar. Tell yourself whatever you like. It's just more whining from you They are, and Ukraine was attempting to reassert the rule of law and protect it's citizens and sovereignty, the fact that civilians...

    Yeah they generally do, that or negligence. The specifics of the issue vary of course, but in general you can't "accidently" break the law. While ignorance of the law is not an excuse, the modern legal system operates on the assumption of either reasonable intent or reasonable expectations. A...

    Its your claim that Ukraine deliberately targetted civilians, something you havent actually backed up. I did not leave it out. The fact that I did not utilize the same explicit terminology was not some effort to shift my goal posts, but since it seems to bother you so much, I'll repeat it...

    War crimes require intent. If Israel fires off a missile at Iran, and in flight it malfunctions, hits an Iraqi school and kills 15 kids, that's not a war crime. If Ukrainian artillery receives a fire mission on a hardpoint occupied by Russian soldiers, that then turns out to have actually been...

    Army Expanding Pre-Basic Training Prep Courses to Bring in More Soldiers and Curb Recruiting Crisis

    Yes actually. Apart from the fact that human rights watch is taking a deterministic understanding of what the laws of war, it doesn't detract from my point that Ukraine was acting in preservation of its soil and sovereignty, which included removing armed insurgents from Ukrainian territory...

    Army Expanding Pre-Basic Training Prep Courses to Bring in More Soldiers and Curb Recruiting Crisis

    I missed this, but for the record, this directly contradicts your claim "there were no Russian tanks in Donbas". Secondly, Ukraine was also protecting civilians *and* it's territorial integrity. Pro-Russian posters like yourself like to pretend on this forum that the Donbas was united in its...
