The only 'pro-war' person I see here is you, making the claim that it's okay for Putin to invade a neighboring country because you claim it is 'inflamed'.
Who knew Monte was such an undercover warmonger!
This conversation has deteriorated to nonsense.
Yeah, that's it. Though I would have preferred that the half of Ukrainians that threw a fit and started burning everything had used a better method. Securing a destabilised country on ones border is not acting pro-war. Making up a story about a country out of thin air in order to attack and occupy them for a decade, and then leave it in ruins is definitely pro-war. I can't believe you masquerade as an educated person.
I suppose you missed all the destruction during the protests. You've got no credibility criticising Putin for doing far less than you support the US doing on a very regular basis. **** dude, how many countries has the US invaded?
So many excuses when it comes to violating international law and treaties! Why didn't you offer these excuses up for when the US does these types of things? Are you interested in international law and treaties at all? Or only when they promote your agenda?

How many countries the US has invaded has nothing to do with the conversation. It is an immaterial and juvenile argument.The topic is Ukraine accuses Russia of Occupation calls for help from US/UK. Let's confine it to that.
Supporting the invasion of a neighboring country is not pro war??
Your right, the other is too embarrassing. Ok, so SOME Ukrainians have accused Russia, and there's nothing the US/UK could or should do. So far, Russia's action is legitimate.
It's not an invasion, stop lying. As though Russia started all this.
My agenda is peace. While Putin didn't start this conflict, he's the best man to end it, A, and B, I disagree with you that responding to a country on his border who's citizens (some anyway) started burning ****, toppled the government, seized control of the military and declared independence, is a violation of treaty or law.
I see, so you are predicting Obama's inaction (whatever that means) is going to trigger WW111.
Oh, I see. Because Obama "said" force is off the table, that means force is off the table, right? Anyway, force cannot be on the table with Russia, A, your not pushing Russia over like you did Iraq and Libya, the US would have huge skin in the game just to try and prevent a country who's citizens are split 50/50 from going Russian, and secondly, if Obama put force on the table, and then didn't use it, you'd bitch at him for that. Again, exactly what is it that you think Obama should be doing?
If Obama said that force is off the tale that means that our opponent will behave as if FORCE IS OFF THE TABLE.
I mean, FFS, man, if the President says he won't use force and then actually DOES use force anyway then he is an even bigger imbecile that I thought since his initial statement has contributed to the outbreak of war rather than avoid it.

Of course you do. You'd never extend that benefit of the doubt to the US, though. It's interesting. You also get a lot of your news from RT, too, don't you? Very interesting.
Here's a tip: don't get up on a self righteous soapbox about war crimes and such if you're unwilling to apply that standard across the board. Just common sense, dude.
The world is black and white to you isn't it? I am saying that Obama's inaction is making matters worse. He's playing Russian roulette with ... Russia. That isn't to say there is a bullet in the chamber today.

If you look at history, cool heads generally provide more favorable outcomes in conflicts like this. Only a lunatic would think the U.S. is going to go to war with Russia over Ukraine. Diplomacy is the only option here and pretending to take a possible military posture will do nothing but raise tensions.
We will try and wrestle Ukraine away from Russia using soft power and the will of the Ukranian people in the safest manner possible. The Soviet Union and communism collapsed without firing a single bullet, diplomacy and economics are the weapon of choice for these situations now.
This is demonstrably false. I can only conclude that you haven't looked at much history.
I'm still not clear on what you think Obama should do?
Stage military readiness exercises of forces in the EU bases, issue orders to ready a deployment of a carrier group to the area. Any number of other levels of military posturing to let Putin know that the US is quite capable of defending Ukraine as per our treaty.
Once this is established then you can have a talk with Russia.
As it is Putin just laughs at any US attempt at diplomacy because he knows, in the end, that the US will do nothing to stand in the way.
Following this you can expect a few months later Putin will start signalling the need for Russian troops in some other state that was previously a part of the Soviet Union, claiming the need to protect ethnic Russians who invariably inhabit the border regions of ALL previously Soviet States.
This will also get China seriously thinking about action in Taiwan and elsewhere after Putin has shown the US will not protect its Allies. Hell, China even more-so than Russia will feel emboldened by this because China knows that the US would feel serious pain from a embargoing China.
