    West promised not to expand NATO – Der Spiegel

    Oh - I see. So Western agreements with states they don't really like are completely meaningless if the West feels like ignoring them at some point in the future. I think we all knew that, but its great that you made it clear.

    ‘What Are You Waiting For?’ Zelenskyy Pleads For Stronger European Response to Russia

    These proposed sanctions are illegal under international law. They would of course be laughably stupid when applied as punishment for something that hasn't happened, lacking even a moral justification. But the non western world would chalk it up to yet another example of western hypocrisy...

    West promised not to expand NATO – Der Spiegel

    Isn't it strange how those who bang on remorselessly about the 'rules based order' and base their policies on 'values' so casually dismiss verbal commitments given to other world leaders? I mean, it's almost as if the West's policy amounts to 'we must obey the law unless we don't feel like it'...

    British warship challenges Russian claims to Crimea

    Come on Jo - there's a big wide world outside the US, and I hate to break it to you, but you aren't exactly finger on the pulse. Neutral states either don't care or don't approve of an ex imperialist power trying to provoke trouble 1,000 miles from its shores. It's not a good look.

    Putin blames anyone but himself for loss of Ukraine

    :LOL: Why do you treat everyone as though they're stupid? The Atlantic Council is partly funded by the US government - even you can't deny that although you tried desperately and rather foolishly. It can say it's neutral, but really ....... RT, China Daily and the BBC say they're neutral...

    Putin blames anyone but himself for loss of Ukraine

    The citation is in the link you showed. It says it there ...... 'US .....government agencies'. But for people not familiar, the Atlantic Council is Ukraine's cheer-leader in chief in the US. It is an outlier even in the US. It un-critically supports whatever Kiev does provided it's anti...

    British warship challenges Russian claims to Crimea

    Totally wrong - it doesn't demonstrate that at all.

    Kremlin 'Regrets' EU Rejection of Proposed Putin Summit

    What? You'd better go and tell Pres Biden who did, after all, initiate the summit. Geneva - remember? As I've observed before, your remarks are bizarrely inconsistent and often contradictory.

    EU Deplores Minsk Moves To Sever Ties After Economic Sanctions

    RV and the West in general always make me laugh .......... he thinks that sanctions against a state (and its people) will endear the authors of the sanctions to the subjects of what is economic warfare. Then he laments the decision of the subject of the warfare (in this case Belarus, but you...

    British warship challenges Russian claims to Crimea

    You're wrong about that too. Under UNCLOS, warships have a right of innocent passage through territorial waters. Therefore it doesn't matter whose waters they are. Moreover, as the UK government pointed out, Russia made no attempt to stop them. It was a dumb stunt, but it proves precisely...

    U.S. Consulates In Russia To Suspend Services In August Due To Workforce Limits

    Not really. 1,000 more Russian citizens available to do more valuable work than serve US consulates.

    Putin blames anyone but himself for loss of Ukraine

    The Atlantic Council, a body partly funded by the US govt, is not a credible source. I note the total and complete contempt that it expresses for the sizeable portion of Ukraine's population who are Russian speakers and identify with the Russian world rather than the Euro - Atlantic one. I...

    Kremlin 'Regrets' EU Rejection of Proposed Putin Summit

    No answers to my observation that some of you just can't stand the idea of diplomacy with Russia. Your celebration of any diplomatic failure is quite bizarre when you consider the alternatives to talking to the one country in the world capable of reducing Western cities to radioactive rubble...
