I do know FOR FACT you do not speak Russian or Ukrainian. If you'd speak Ukrainian, you'd be much more emotional and if you'd speak Russian, you wouldn't be posting what you post.
What guarantees America won't station missiles in Ukraine? NATO already promised once that it won't expand eastwards, yet here we are.
Buddy, you can't be this dumb. If NATO stations it's missiles in Ukraine, the story will be that UKRAINE shot them at Russia and Russia will have to shoot back at Ukraine and not the US.
Please tell me you do understand why a country would be interested in stationing missiles across the ocean rather than shooting them from home?
My dear friend, you do not know anything about me except for what you want to believe. Believe whatever you want to without evidence. But I've got to tell you that doesn't make you the sharpest pencil in the drawer.
Weren't you taught as a child, like I was, never accuse someone of something unless you have all the facts?
You remind me of a cook. You continue to throw spaghetti against the wall until you finally get something to stick. I think you have more spaghetti on the floor than you do on the wall.
Lolly, I'm an American. I live in what's called a "Melting Pot Country." My fellow Countrymen and Country women and myself have been exposed to people migrating from every corner of the globe. I think we have a better understanding about people from all corners of the world than perhaps you have.
And please don't lecture me about how well I know or don't know about people living in other parts of the Country. We all mix and mingle. We do not for the most part live in a bubble or safety zone. We have an Inter-State Highway system. We can travel from state to state without having to stop at borders and showing travel documents. Not every country can claim that.
I am most certain you have very little understanding of slavic culture and mentality. Your melting pot can't help you much with it, as people who come to the US are mostly trying to assimilate and be Americans. You want to understand slavs? Learn Russian and Ukrainian, then travel there. You'll experience very different things than you can experience in the US, despite it being a melting pot.
My advantage is being in a unique position of being exposed to Western European, American, Russian AND Ukrainian people on a daily basis. Whereas I doubt you have ever had a meaningful conversation with a Russian or Ukrainian in your entire life.
I find it cute that you can travel from state to state without having to show your passport. In the EU nobody checks passports when travelling from one country to another.
To get back on topic. Ukraine could have been doing business with both the EU and Russia without aspiring to become a member of NATO and that would have been the best scenario for Ukraine. Logically, if you desperately try to become a member of a military alliance that has your neighbour declared as it's enemy, you will have this neighbour do something about it.

Yes everyone in the all white suburbs in places like Iowa are men of the world because America is a "melting pot".
You want to get in on this too? Iowa is only one of fifty states. Have you ever even been to Iowa? Do you even know how this nation was populated after the Revolution? The railroads populated this country with migrants that settled interspersed all around the Nation.
Also, you might have forgotten about the draft the US had from WWII thru Vietnam. Men from every state were mingling with other men from around the Country. Yes, a melting pot it is.
It looks like Russian war crimes while the Russian army retreats from the real battle?
Did the US drop nuclear bombs on exclusively military points and kill exclusively military personell in Japan? Have you not seen what Afghanistan, Syria and Iraq look like?
The battle is where it is. Who told you it is confined to Donbas? You have been told before, that Ukraine is not winning this war and Ukraine losing a third of it's power stations is just the beginning. The longer Zelensky waits to sign that non-NATO agreement, the bigger pile of rubble Ukraine will be.

Are you nuts? When people were using the railroads to "populate this country" the migrants were pretty much all white. By 1950 the USA was 90% white and the 10% was black people who didn't "migrate" here.
White guys from New York mingling with white guys from Nebraska isn't the "melting pot". The melting pot is other nationalities coming to America and becoming AMERICAN.
Swedes and Germans becoming American. Nigerians and Cubans becoming American.

Interesting fact: After The Great War (WWI), the U.S. welcomed immigrants from war-torn Europe. The U.S. gave packed them on trains, with some farming equipment, and sent across the U.S. often to the end of the line, and dumped them off to fend for themselves. The government taught them to farm. The result is what are now the endless fields in the fly-over states. Another result was the Dust Bowl.

Oh he did strike the nerve, didn't he :) EVERY state in the US has all white suburbs where black people get police called on them if they happen to jog by. Last year a friend of mine (US born mexican) had been told to go back where he came from in Idaho.
But sure, enlighten us about your experiences with Russians and Ukrainians that you had while speaking Russian or Ukrainian to them. Have you ever even met a Ukrainian refugee? I talked to one last week, have you?

Man, ETH should demand their degree back if your justification for Russia committing war crimes in Ukraine is the US using nuclear bombs in WW2.
Let me try - Russians committed numerous war crimes in WW2. Therefore the US was justified in invading Iraq. See how stupid that argument sounds when I make it? It’s even dumber when you do it.

Oh buddy, just ask your imaginary Ukrainian family and they will tell you:
"Funny thing, that it's always other countries criticized for their war actions, but never the US. Somehow it's never time to talk about the war crimes commited by the US."
By the way, do you even accept the fact that the US has commited war crimes? Yes or no question.

Yeah for sure- that underground hand-to-hand combat battle going on in the dark streets and alleys of the now-decimated and powerless Ukraine cities. LOL

that's a wild interpretation of history
italians weren't considered 'white' back then - they were undesirable.
jews weren't white either, etc.
I mean sure, that they looked the same as English and German ethnics made it much easier for italians and jews to succeed and melt in, but they were not 'white guys.' They were viewed as coming from a different culture, not the same, and not-'American' like white anglo saxon protestants were 'American.'
the different appearance of non-European immigrants is a handicap for new immigratns in the US, but given the massive current success of asian immigrants here, it can be overcome pretty easily if you care about education and manners.
