A note to those who think the US is on the brink and needs a war. Well Poopsies, the Soviets are in 10X the trouble. They are broke and have no issues in using force to steal what they need just to keep the lights on. They are desperate.

Your hate for Russian clouds your appreciation of the way things are and the way things will be. The America need for war is certainly not even open to debate. 231 of the 283 wars since the end of WW2 were conducted by the USA, without war thier economy would cease to exist. They cannot give up thier armament economy and they cannot give up war. You are desperate and a dreamer of the dangerous kind, Ukraine is a pece of realestate owned by oligarcs who will feed all Ukrainians into the war to come.

The Rus weren't Russian.

No but the Russians were Rus.
There was a language spoken in Russia, Belarus and Ukraine in the XVII century and this language has common features with modern Ukrainian, Russian and Belarusian languages. We can call that old language Old Slavic, East Slavic, Old Russian, Old Ukrainian etc. But this is just a matter of modern claims to legacy serving a present political order.

They WERE Kyivan-Rus 1000 years ago until a Kyivan-Rus outpost known as Muscovites became "Russians" after giving Chenghis Khan the key to toppling Kyiv.

That is how history goes oh big toothed one.

s a result a considerable part of Eurasia was colonized. The rest were forced to accept – to varying degrees – their vassal dependency from Russia-Horde, possibly only in the form of paying the tax. The conquests of the Prince Georgiy Danilovich (Genghis Khan) followed by his brother Ivan Danilovich Kalita (Batu-Khan) resulted in the rise in the first half of the XIV century of the Great = 'Mongol' Empire with its centre in Vladimir and Suzdal Russia.


HOW IT WAS IN REALITY

You're are a master of nothing replys. If you don't want to descuss the subject you should just be quiet. The recorded history makes it perfectly clear that Russia and Ukraine have a shared history with the rest of east european peoples in general.

Crimea is part of Ukraine since the 18th Century, gift or not. Putin has no right to go in and claim there is a need to protect Russians living there, how about taking care of the Russian in Russia!!. To think he is stupid enough to think that he has the right to just take territory shows he's unhinged. How could he think that any other Leader in the world would condone this thievery!! He needs to get out of Ukraine and worry about finding other source of control for oil and gas. Sanction is a ss.

Question is, what do we do about it?

Unhinged or not, Putin is a strategist. He knes taking Crimea would put us on the spot. Yes it violates international law, but it seems the Crimeans welcomed the Russians with open arms. So now Putin can shoult democracy, the will of the people.

We can complain all we want or impose sanctions for decades. But what do we do in the meantime? Just talk tough? I don't like that. If we want to do something about it, fine, let's put boots on the ground, get NATO in there and fight.

If we're not going to do that, then f^ck the granstanding and drop the sanctions and let's stop talking like hypocrits. If we don't accept it, then fight. If we won't fight, then accept it. But right now we're just huffing and puffing in front of the news cameras to entertain the stupid public.

What do you propose be done? Eternal sanctions? To me, sanctions are just political show. If we meant it, we'd be putting boots on the ground and giving Russia reason to fear. If we're just gonna *****foot around and ruin our economies for the next few decades until everyone forgets about it, then let's get it over with and drop the sanctions now. Make a choice either way and get over this impasse.

Brits are retarded.

Agreed. If they can't understand that Russia is the back up "evil" for the " 'Merican Guvermunt" to spool out in order to control the people then what are all their surveillance cameras worth? It shows they don't even know they are for controlling the populous. English people are dumb.
