How is that evidence of Russia deliberately targeting women and children? They could have very well hit that building by mistake; after all, that's something America has done on more than one occasion.

Okay, I'm going to have to ask you to elaborate on that one; where are you getting the idea that Russia is deliberately targeting women and children from?

Honestly, fighting in the vicinity of a nuclear reactor at all is a special kind of idiocy that makes me think both sides are being led by morons.

Thank you; I stand corrected. I'd apologize to the guy's face for doubting him if I could. I don't want to get into the TPP too much, but as far as I was aware, the TPP as it was designed would have benefited China at America's expense, if anything; that's one of the reasons I was against it.

That seems to be a common theme with our wars since World War 2.

I must have missed that; could you direct me to the post with said selfie?

Is he still in Kyiv though? Because as far as I'm aware, all we've got for proof of that right now is him saying that he is.

From what I know of Russian politics, Putin is actually something of a moderate, comparatively speaking; anyone who'd replace him would likely be a lot more aggressive.

And yet those "tiny parts of Ukraine's population" managed to vote a pro-Russia president into office.

How much western Ukrainians will grow to hate Russia. Ukrainians in Donbass and Crimea by and large seem to be supportive of what Russia is doing.

It's also a decent distraction from the west's precipitous decline as of late, and let's them indulge in a fantasy of good guys versus bad guys. I didn't forget; you forgot that Crimea and Donbass invited them. Because their government had been overthrown. As for the impeachment, there were a...

Attacking another country is wrong, but what counts as an attack? Sending troops in is obvious, but what about supporting a violent coup to overthrow the legitimate government, in order to replace them with your own puppets; who, incidentally, treat the people of said country worse than those...

Except that's not true; Putin didn't start this. America and Europe did in trying to push NATO right up to his border, and backing yet another regime change; this time in Ukraine. Your bias is so strong, you don't even recognize it as bias; the same as anyone who suffers from Trump Derangement...

So does helping to overthrow a nation's legitimately-elected government, because you can't let go of your Cold War mentality.

I have no idea, but usually he's far more reasonable; just goes to show what too much emotional investment can do to a person's ability to rationally judge a situation. He's been acting like a dick to me too though, rejecting everything I've had to say about the subject out of hand, and I'm...

In other words, your personal bias against Putin and Russia makes it impossible to convince you of anything that paints them in a positive light, or justifies their actions.

You'll get your fellow man killed fighting a pointless conflict in a poorly thought-out attempt to inconvenience your enemies, and sooth your own ego; that's not helping, and in fact causes human suffering.

Whereas I'm looking at it from the perspective of one country invading another country which shares a border with them, that was overthrown by violent radicals who overtly aligned themselves with their enemies. My perception of Putin is also based on his actions; but in addition, takes into...

It's bad in the sense that people would die in making that happen, and I'd really rather they didn't.
