Putin blocked the invasion of Syria (and what would have followed) and nobody finds it strange that another riot escalates next to russia immediatly after that?

Its all a Western plot, I knew it. Democracy always has such a dirty Western bias and must be prevented at all costs.

Please, tell me more about how you brought democracy to Iraq, Afghanistan and Lybia.

How about Poland, Czehia, Slovakia, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia instead?


How many of those involved a military conflict?

There is not a single example of military intervention advancing democracy, and it was tried quite a few times in the last few decades

The American Revolution? Germany twice was forced to become a democracy at the point of the gun, Japan became a democracy after invasion, But yes, other than three of the biggest, richest democracies there have been no other successful interventions for democracy


o.O
Germany was a democracy before WW1, Japan was a democracy before WW2... (and their emperor even remained in power..)
And good that we now quote 18th century revolutions(without any outside help) as 'military intervention'

Japan was a military dictatorship before WW2, their democracy was overthrown in the early 30s, the Emperor held no governing powers like the German one. Germany was a 'democracy' where all major decisions were made the Kaiser and his conservative Chancellor.

And so Russia are the bad guys.

2 sides to every story.


You left out the part where Russia is going to annex Crimea (the Duma is preparing the bill as we speak), and what they are doing is against international law.

http://news.nationalpost.com/2014/03/03/crimea-now-under-de-facto-russian-control-as-west-scrambles-to-ramp-up-diplomatic-pressure/

Don't forget that Hitler stepped into Czechoslovakia for the same reason, to protect Germans. Then just decided to annex the country. Hmm...

Also there are reports of Russian tugboats blocking the Ukrainian navy into their own harbor, preventing their ability to move during the Russian's ultimatum to surrender or else.

It isn't really America's place to intervene in the Ukraine, as it is more of a European issue. The reason that the British public are so against war (such as Syria) is because we do not think that we should of been involved in GW Bush's wars. Afghanistan was a revenge attack against a suitable target because you could not actually attack the people responsible for 9/11. Iraq had no WMD's and was just GW finishing what his father started.

See how easy it is to make the situation fit biased pre-existing beliefs?

Although historic resemblances come to mind here please don't act like Putin is literally Hitler. The decisions that need to be made here are very concrete and I doubt that "hey, the situation vaguely remembers me of Hitler annexing Czechoslovakia about a hundred years ago" is a very good argument.

Well he is taking the "protecting ethnic russians" right out of the hitler play book, and a british leader named chamlberlain's manhood did just shrivel back up into his body. And he has rigged elections while claiming to be the beloved leader of his nation, and he is setting a minority up to be discriminated against and even lynched to distract his people from the shit hes doing,so this is better than most of the times a world leader has been called literally hitler.

...lead America to where exactly this time? Also FYI you just called the NATO pointless.


Read what I wrote again. Even if Ukraine was in NATO, no one in Europe would help (I meant Europeans). America isn't in Europe.

NATO isn't pointless because of the United States.


NATO works on the basis of consensus votes. Either everyone acts or no-one. I'm confident that the Baltic states and Poland would do everything to help, if not, they're next.


NATO has never been tested to this degree. When the going gets tough, a lot of people bail out. Remember what happened to Poland in 1939.

Let me quote the Anglo-Polish military alliance again, since people don't seem to understand how politics works:

... in the event of any action which clearly threatened Polish independence, and which the Polish Government accordingly considered it vital to resist with their national forces, His Majesty's Government would feel themselves bound at once to lend the Polish Government all support in their power. They have given the Polish Government an assurance to this effect.


Did "His Majesty's Government feel themselves bound at once to lend the Polish Government all support in their power"?

They did absolutely nothing.



So you're saying that nobody in the NATO would act, except america, based on something that happened 100 years ago when the NATO didn't even exist, when there were only a few countries involved and when a monarchy instead of a democracy ruled britain?
Please stop posting ill-informed opinions as facts.


Speaking of ill-informed opinions as fact. 2014 - 1939 does not equal 100 years. And there were a lot of countries involved in the events leading up to WW2. Poland, France, the Soviet Union and Germany were all involved diplomatically or military in the invasion of Poland. There isn't any more major players involved now in this crisis either. Sure every little country has given their opinion, but there are only a few major players.



Since others already gave you the obvious answer tot he rest of your post, I'll focus the attention I'm willing to give you on this one.
Comparing the political of today with the one from WW2 is ridiculous, the nations are very different and so is the political climate, comparing Putin to Hitler is just as silly, due to the difference in their motives, their rhetoric and Putin's action up to this point.
And yes, it doesn't equal 100 years, however the point still stands since I was talking about the point I was making focussed on the state in which the nations were in back then and how they handled conflicts.
The assumptions you make are baseless, you failed to bring up any kind of source, which was requested by another poster and that you have the audacity to use WW2 as proof for the scenario you made up baffles me.


I did not fail to bring up another source. I brought a recent and relevant source:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2008_Georgia–Russia_crisis

Listen, the fact of the matter is, this is just like WW2 in a lot ways. I'm well versed in history, I've studied it for most of life. Are there differences? Sure, but nothing is ever exactly alike. However, the reasoning for the invasion and diplomatic stance of nations is nearly exactly the same.

Hitler used the same reasoning that Putin is using to take over Czechoslovakia and Poland: to protect native Germans and German speakers.

That is the reason Russian troops currently occupy Ukraine, to protect native Russians and Russian speakers. Is it not? Don't argue, because that is the reason Russia is giving.

But now they want to annex Crimea and build a bridge from Russia to Crimea to bypass Ukraine. From protection of native Russians to annexation... where have I seen that before? Oh right, Czechoslovakia, prior to WW2.

And where I have seen the the European response for diplomacy to solve invasions? Oh right, prior WW2.


That's a nice little source you got there.
But once again you ignore what doesn't fit your view completely, Georgia wasn't a NATO country back then, it was an aspiring member on the road to become one, it was also not way as clear cut as the case with the ukraine or any other nation Russia may invade afterwards is.

And if you are so "well versed" in history, how the hell do you manage to ignore the gigantic differences between the world we had back then and the world we have now?
The stance of nations are exactly the same you say? No they aren't, not by a long shot, Putin isn't ready to go to war with the western world as Hitler was, there are also no empty promises from monarchs nowadays and the entire worldview of countries is different, with the trauma of the second world war and the time under the soviets the eastern nations will also react very different and to a lesser degree so will the rest of the world.
The very thing you cite as a "proof" for your scenario to play out is a reason why it probably won't happen that way.
Stop using "historic" reasons like that, the world changed in a lot of ways, only people with an extremely simplified view of things would accept the world wars as good examples for probable diplomatic outcomes nowadays.

And do not tell me not to argue, the given reasons are pretty different as well since even with the russian provocations nothing has actually happened to the "russian citizens" Putin wants to protect and it's quite obvious that it's just a thinly veiled attempt to create a casus belli so he can try to keep the Ukraine as a vassal.

You talk about a "european response" in your post and compare it to the times before WW2, yet you YET AGAIN completely ignore the obvious things that don't fit your worldview.
As divided as europe still is today, we are WAY closer diplomatically, economically and politically to each other nowadays.

Every war/conquest needs reasoning, and claiming crimea-ukraino-russians were discriminated and soon to be killed by maidan-nazi-facsist is a good way to explain the military action and taking back crimea to russia.

Donezk, charkow will be next I guess
The whole problem with the world is that fools and fanatics are always so certain of themselves, but wiser people so full of doubts.

I don't think I said war needs to be declared now, I just said this is a less shitty literally hitler claim than just about every other time it was claimed. If you actually thought before knee jerking, you would notice that all I said was the comp was better than most times it used.

The playing field is very different now. The economy of Europe and the US combined are now 15x larger than Russias. We have weapons around now that I don't want to see being used in a WW III scenario. Russia isn't a superpower any more. Sharp economic sanctions, especially hitting the Russian leadership and important state companies are probably way more potent now then getting into a military conflict. Russia, simply for economic reasons, can't afford to mess up it's relationships much more. We already have the bigger leverage and can sit this one out.

The most important thing is for us – the United States – to make sure that we don’t go off without the European community,” Reid said Monday in the Capitol. “We have to work with them. Their interests are really paramount if we are going to do sanctions of some kind. We have to have them on board with us.”

This is the right attitude, there no need for any actual blood shed but since the UK government has already decided that London's financial markets will not be closed to Russians and Russian assets will not be targeted then all that will happen is a visa ban. Seems like a cheap price to pay for someone invading and annexing parts of a country.
