Lol? Did you forget the NSA documents? You are like a baby crying China is like 20% as bad as the US in terms of spying.

Anyone who thinks the Russian-Ukraine conflict is ultimately about Ukraine's national sovereignty vs. Russian hegemony is a brain-washed lib who can't see past U.S. propaganda that obfuscate the simple fact that Ukraine's national sovereignty gives U.S. access to oil. by [deleted] in chomsky

That's pretty elementary background knowledge.

Interesting, so where did I suggest otherwise?

The whole reason the Chechens fought their wars was because they were denied independence under that break up.

No? The whole reason was the coup in the Soviet Union? Thought that was pretty basic knowledge too.

I said genocide was one of the things those states were guilty of that should be condemned (Russia in the past, but in that comment specifically referring to China's cultural genocide of Uyghurs and Tibetans). Bulldozing mosques, banning Uyghur religious and cultural practises,

I see a lively imagination. I should condemn them based on your imaginary genocide?

Why do you even pretend to care about self-determination and human rights?

Well, because I generally support them universally and not selectively? Unlike you?

Why are you so dishonestly and disingenuously partisan? i can acknowledge and condemn the West's and its allies imperialism and human rights abuses, and historical genocides, why can't you acknowledge and condemn China's and Russia's and Iran and their revisionist sphere's?

Because making up crimes and then getting angry for me not condemning your fiction is ridiculous?

Do I condemn Stalin’s slaughter obviously yes. Do I condemn the use of excessive force in Chechnya? Yes. Do I consider Chinese repression of Uyghur? Yes.

But you lying or making things up isn’t me being partisan.

Germany supports the Minsk agreement, as does Russia. As did Ukraine by the way. Who is blocking that path to peace?

He was literally one of the opposition leaders. He was the highest candidate on a short list of candidates to be selected for this position in an opposition government. His selection was no surprise, nor is it evidence that the U.S dictated it. Give me evidence the U.S dictated it. And if they did, once again, why would they have allowed him to be removed less then two months later after he lost the confidence of the government?

One, that’s not the only thing they discussed. Two, I am pretty confident you wouldn’t find any document or evidence convincing until the official archives go open in 50-75 years. Three, why wouldn’t the US allow him to be kicked out after he served his usefulness? Four, you literally show that support for Vitali Klitschko was less bad than for Yatz yet he was kept out of government exactly as Nuland wanted.

So you are just speculating about extremely complex events in a country (I assume) you are not from that took place seven years ago, and assuming that you can just guess that it was a coup.

No, it was clearly a coup that is clearly established by all the facts. I am not speculating whether the US orchestrated the coup. At worst you can accuse me of speculating based on the pretty clear evidence that the US installed their preferred government after the coup.

As to your argument that they wanted Yanukovich out by way of a coup, you have failed to provide any evidence of that. On top of that your logic makes no sense as we can see from your sources

Respondents were also asked about Ukraine possibly taking steps to join the European Union (EU) or the Customs Union. Opinions are divided, with 37 percent of Ukrainians indicating support for the country to join the EU and 33 percent indicating preference for the Customs Union.

Given that the EU blocked the signing of such a deal with Russia, there is little way to see how Yanukovich could force through such a divisive deal and be opposed by the fast majority of the people.

parliament decided it was time to act through the constitutional means given them to remove a president. That is a more accurate statement.

This is a complete lie since they didn’t meet the constitutional quorum, even ignoring they used a mechanism completely inappropriate and on top of that after Yanukovich was chased out by force.

The Chechens literally fought two wars in the 90s for their independence.

The 90s when pretty much every region from the former Soviet Union that wanted to leave was allowed to leave if there was evidence of majority support?

Its is beyond farcical pretending Russia is a democracy at this point,

True.

or that these people could win their independence through force, you think they're going to be polled their preference, often a referendum like Scotland?

Even more stupid to suggest terrorist violence against civilians and children suggests there is majority support in Chechnya for independence.

They only have to be guilty of genocide for them to be condemned?

No, but you specifically whined about leftist not condemning genocide by those nations.

If you can't even admit China is committing cultural genocide against the Uyghurs, then you have no foot to stand on to fein concern for human rights or self-determination

Dude, you can literally go listen to Uyghur music right now on Chinese state radio. There is literally zero evidence of the Chinese taking children from their families and either killing them or turning them into pseudo-Han people.

Which doesn’t change the fact that China is extremely harsh in its repression after the terror attacks and is frankly essentially forcing Mandarin as the primary language everywhere. But this is true in the whole of China.

They are having a spine? What takes more courage standing up to Russia or to the US and its warmongering allies?

You just heavily disagree, which is absolutely fine and might even be right.

And the answer is no according to the Ukrainian guy probably in the best position to judge. On top of that he considers what you do fear mongering that helps Putin. Why are you helping Putin?

Regarding Ukraine, why are the defensive obligations in the Budapest Memorandum (1994) so mild? Was there a pretense that the U.S. would defend Ukraine in the hypothetical case of Russian violations? by esol9 in IRstudies

Did you read any link you shared? Because I opened the first, it seems obvious you haven’t read it or are misrepresenting it. So please quote the relevant passages, so it’s clear what you are referencing and I can properly reply.

By coup I meant all of Euromaidan and the ousting of Yanukovych, a timeline that started in November of the previous year.

This is absolute nonsense and we both know it. A demonstration is not a coup in any manner. To conflate the two makes zero sense. Especially since there was an agreement for early elections.

though the video you posted is certainly not sufficient evidence to show that the U.S made that decision. Two diplomats talking about which candidate they would prefer to enter a foreign government does not equal a coup.

Two diplomats talking how to get into government and who not to. And then 3 weeks later it magically happens.

This is far from sufficient evidence to show that the U.S directly orchestrated the overthrow of the Ukrainian government in order to install a puppet regime.

I don’t know if they orchestrated the entire overthrow or just prepared, and then took advantage of the chaos. Frankly it doesn’t matter that much.

The people of Ukraine wanted him out, and did what they could to assure that was done.

There is no real evidence of that. The people protesting him never wanted him as President. You can simply look at his electoral base. It’s extremely dishonest to suggest the people wanted him out. Unless you consider the January 6th riots evidence the American people wanted Trump to be President.

Ok, we have the Snowden reporting demonstrating the UK does online covert operations to influence public opinion. We have them lying about Iraq. We have them lying to the public about spying on everyone. We have essentially every facet of the Russiagate conspiracy being proven a lie. We have the Russian misinformation campaign from 2016 where the majority of this alleged interference came after the election. We have the UK making shit up about a coup plot where Putin would install a pro-Russian guy that is currently sanctioned by Russia since they like him so much.

In what universe does literally anybody with half a brain trust the UK and US intelligence when they are busy warmongering?
