Ukraine

[AccessBlaster]

It's really a shame that the left never needs to retract their smears.

The left controls almost everything from education to social media including vote counting. The conservatives only answer is move to the suburbs to get away from the liberal nonsense.

I buy Russian vodka, it's brewed and bottled in the UK.

It doesn't take much intelligence to dilute ethyl alcohol with water!

Then they follow us because they screwed up their area so bad.

 

[Eugene-LS]

I am very concerned about the discrimination and suppression of white people in the United States.

This morning

Are you a fool? - Or what?
They wrote the same exact thing about Vladimir Zhirinovsky (already deceased) in 1992 - these freaks have no imagination - they all write according to the same template...

Those who are older should remember those "fun" times when Iceland took loans under own "socialism"...

 

[Eugene-LS]

My advice to you all :
Never discuss things you don't understand.

 

[oleronesoftwares]

While I understand that the happenings in Ukraine affect directly those in Ukraine (First), then Russia, please let's avoid abusive words while discussing the issue.

 

[Eugene-LS]

I ask you, educated and intelligent people, to answer a simple question:
In what year did the state of Ukraine appear?
...
Thanks!

I know the answer - but you have to try, there's a chance...
Try!

 

[Eugene-LS]

Englishman! Let's detach the county of Uels from the united kingdom!
What do you think of that?
...
Good idia - isn't it!?
As far as I know, locals haven't minded for a long time ...

 

[Eugene-LS]

Americans! - Are you ready to part with the state of Texas?
They speak Spanish there - do you need it?

What kind of a logic is this?
Because you don't want let Ukraine go, then kill them all? Do any war crime Russians are doing? Nuke the country?
Anything is OK just to keep a country that maybe a hundred years ago has been a part of your country?
What happened to human rights?

 

[Eugene-LS]

What kind of a logic is this?

What is the logic in dividing Ukraine and Russia? These are the same people who have lived together for thousands of years.
... In fact, it is the same tribe
So no! - It was necessary to destroy us ...

Remember:
Russians drive slowly - but then they drive fast!

There is no Ukrainian language - in the west there is a western dialect (closer to Polish) in the east and south a dialect closer to Russian - but this is not a distinction, it's normal.
Let's think of Holland (for example) - where the north speaks almost German, and the south almost French.

 

[Eugene-LS]

Let's think of Holland

Forget it!
My favorite England - just 200 miles to south or north (I love north) - and you can forget about "English" - so what ? - Shall we separate?
...
About the "Russian" language:
The country is big - I've been to the Far East too, there's a difference.
The state accent is the Moscow accent (more "a"), but the most beautiful and cultural accent is the Leningrad accent.
..
Fuck it!
We all live on this little shit hole of a planet Earth.

Again you're going off-road. I don't urge keeping or dividing them is correct or wrong. I really don't know.
I'm telling you're doing it the wrong way. How many innocent people have you killed in Ukraine? You're justifying what Russia is doing there because Ukraine is a part of Russia?
Do you watch the news at all? Have you seen what your country has done, and is doing to them?

 

[Eugene-LS]

Ukraine is a part of Russia?

NO!
Culturally, there are no boundaries at all.

I live in Murmansk (this is the far north of Russia) - and I have (next door) neighbor.
We both have relatives and friends in Ukraine - we are worried about ...

 

[Eugene-LS]

As always - the price of political gamesmanship = graves with young guys!

I was starting to like you until you resorted to using foul language. There's no need for it and it shows a total lack of vocabulary like Americans do.

@ColinEssex , Eugene-LS is not American and therefore is translating what he says into English. You insist on using certain descriptive words about Duchess Meghan that have gotten you at least a comment or two about your unimaginative vocabulary. So it is an example of what we refer to as "the pot calling the kettle black."

@Eugene-LS , you are certainly allowed to have opinions here and Jon doesn't like censorship. So I will merely ask you to remember that we DO have one rule - try to maintain a respectful dialog with other members despite a clear emotional involvement that makes detachment difficult.

And just as a side note, we probably would not care to part with Texas, ... but if you had asked that question about California, you might have gotten a more emphatically affirmative response.

AND in response to your history question: Ukraine, as a nation, came into existence with the official dissolution of the USSR in 1991. I was aware of of many nations that had been previously called "xxxx Soviet Socialist Republic" and were now on their own more or less. Ukraine was one of them. I was working for the U.S. Navy at the time and attended certain security briefings at the time so I was aware of some of the travel repercussions, though I didn't know that much about USSR internals otherwise.

My description of the Markel woman being a half breed, gold digging Z rated actress is not the same as using the F word. My description would have been totally acceptable some years back as well you know, so don't try the old pot/kettle slant. OK I know the PC police and hypocritical Americans feign shock and disgust at my description but it has been used in the British press and on some TV shows. The Markel woman is hated and disliked in the UK which is why we drove her to run back home.
If some foreigner wants to use foul language then fine, it shows they have grasped some words, they just need to finesse their usage. Americans struggle with English but we just roll our eyes and tut.

We are aware of your dislike of the Duchess of Essex. (You hardly ever let us forget.) And I did lightly ping Eugene-LS, too. You weren't singled out. Let's not hijack the thread any more, though.
