and you attempted to tell me as a result of your position that it would have been logistically sound for a bunch of European NATO allies to send soldiers and equipment across the pond to Canada instead
so, yeah, your inaccuracy and attempts to portray Russia in a particular light at times has built up enough skepticism for me to look into other sides of issues
For those who don't remember that discussion, I argued that Russia was correct to consider NATO exercises being held in Norway (a country that shares a border with Russia) "near" Russia, since the US argues that Russia being anywhere in the Western hemisphere is near enough to be a threat (see the discussion here and here).
Do you not see the double standard? ...
That is a fair point, but it does not negate the falseness of the statement that the article was founded upon

It was clearly a coup. I've shown this evidence of high level US politicians like John McCain and Victoria Nuland rallying people in Kiev against Yanukovych, I've discussed Victoria Nuland’s intercepted phone call and Obama’s admission to name just a few of the many sources of evidence. ...
Yeah, and personally recognize the Ukraine citizens involvement and satisfaction with the outcome to be more convincing evidence tho this is after seeing you espouse your position for ages, and only recently looking into the counter-propaganda narrative
it is like you said -- Ukraine citizens elected a president who did not support Russia, then Ukraine citizens got upset when he changed to a position that did support Russia and the country was thrown into upheaval until the citizens were satisfied

The entire complex is enclosed by a five-meter tall fence along the perimeter.[14]
Would you me to provide some examples of other world leader estates?

Pretty sure the annexation of Ukrainian territory by Russia wasn’t in the constitution either. You’re fine with that.

Dude, why do people never mention the golden statues? He had a 24K gold bottle of vodka, golden bust and even a gold loaf of bread (can’t make that shit up).
When asked about the zoo, he said “I love animals. So if I find a deer or mountain lion, I kept it. Soon, I had a whole collection.” Fucking lions and flamingos wandering around a Ukrainian forest🤣 But hey, maybe he was setting up a safari for when putin comes over, all bare chested on his horse.

After ya Yanuk ran, activists stormed his estate. A week later it opened as the Museum of Corruption” where every Ukrainian can come see their tax dollars. The house was intact, the zoo was still there, and so was the 1KG golden loaf of bread.
Sounds like he got chased out by “hoodlums” huh? Scoundrels, I say!

I realize it’s hard to thread this needle trying to sound consistent while still vigorously promoting the Russian narrative. Just wanted to tell you you’re doing a terrible job at it.

Where is the inconsistency? If you decide your constitution doesn't matter, you don't get to decide it matters for some things but not others. THAT'S inconsistency.

Oh look another Novochok poisoning of a Putin critic. Nothing to see here

BERLIN (AP) — The German government says tests performed on samples taken from Russian opposition leader Alexei Navalny showed the presence of the nerve agent Novichok.

Has the chemical name or structure of the Novichok agent been released yet?
Very curious about that one as a chemistry enthusiast.

They're all organophosphates, but I mean the specific structure. I'm very curious which one of the hundreds of analogues they weaponized.
