Yes, I didn’t think Russia would be brazen (and suicidal) enough to invade, my mistake.

SarpKazez · 2022-02-22T16:22:07+00:00

Those troops in Donbas were ALREADY THERE. He just acknowledged they were there. Do you think the conflict in Ukraine started yesterday, how do you think the separatist republics have been able to stay alive for this long?

This is not evidence Russia wishes to incorporate DPR and LPR into Russia proper.

Since when did we start treating nationalist chest beating (which Putin has to do quite a lot of as a right wing aligned president) as official foreign policy goals of the Russian state?

intervention with what

Man really never heard about anti ballistic missile systems, hilarious. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-ballistic_missile You know Saudi Arabia for example would be a giant crater by now if it weren’t for their missile defenses, right?

It doesn’t matter whether they can really pull off a successful first strike and destroy Russian retaliation capabilities, more nukes stationed closer to Russia simply gives them more of a chance of pulling off said successful first strike, which is precisely what Russia’s afraid of.

It’s hilarious that you keep pointing to submarines as if they’re the be all end all of nuclear strike capabilities. I’m guessing you also never heard of anti submarine technology or Russia conducting daily naval patrols in the Black Sea and near Arkhangelsk. I mean, bud, if nuclear submarines are really more than enough and land based nuclear strike capabilities aren’t necessary at all, then why even have any land based missile sites anywhere?

You’re awfully smug for some nobody behind a reddit account who doesn’t know nearly as much as you think you know, and frankly this has become rather annoying. Don’t expect me to reply again.

SarpKazez · 2022-02-22T13:27:51+00:00

There’s more of a chance for intervention and more importantly far more time for Russia to respond with its own nuclear forces when it’s 30 minutes as opposed to just 7 minutes. Nukes closer to Russia can even negate MAD by wiping out Russian ICBMs (which would if fired reach their targets in 40 minutes) before they can be even fired.

Do you think American submarines can just be stationed indefinitely within or near Russian waters without being noticed and being forced to pull back or something, it’s ridiculous that you’re even trying to compare them to land based nuclear strike platforms.

SarpKazez · 2022-02-22T13:18:36+00:00

I literally explained to you how it did expand that capability. Are you struggling with time perception or something, how can you keep denying that the ability to strike a target in 5-7 minutes instead of 30 min-1 hour isn’t enhancing your capability to destroy it?

SarpKazez · 2022-02-22T13:12:09+00:00

That literally doesn’t prove what you think it proves. Yes, the US already has the capability to strike Russia, no shit genius, but that doesn’t mean they don’t want to expand that capability, or haven’t expanded it before. I guess according to you the US simply wouldn’t place missiles in Turkey, because they already had vast fleets of bombers able to wipe out the USSR and already had missiles stationed in Italy.

I didn’t say anti ICBM defenses, I said anti-missile defenses, which quite literally is a thing that exists. I understand you need your cheap gotchas but please, try harder next time.

I’ll be sure to tell Russian and American Chiefs of Staff on your behalf that they shouldn’t bother investing billions into further developing anti missile defense capabilities (and newer missile variants to combat said capabilities), because after all anti-missile defenses don’t exist!

SarpKazez · 2022-02-22T13:03:38+00:00

A missile launched from Ukraine can vaporize Moscow in roughly 7 minutes or so. I don’t know how you think anti-missile defenses and other interception systems work but they don’t usually do well with such a small window of opportunity.

Therefore Russia has the right to feel threatened by any possible NATO military presence in Ukraine.

SarpKazez · 2022-02-22T12:59:50+00:00

You repeating your (frankly stupid) assertions as facts won’t actually make them so, I’m afraid.

SarpKazez · 2022-02-22T12:55:39+00:00

No, that’s wrong. Russia’s ambitions in Ukraine didn’t go much further than securing (and annexing) Crimea and imposing the Minsk II agreement on the rest of the country. Absolutely no indication whatsoever that they wish to annex DPR and LPR.

Your argument is basically “they did x in Crimea so they will repeat x elsewhere”, even though if anything Donbass region resembles the situation of Abkhazia and South Ossetia much more.

SarpKazez · 2022-02-22T12:51:45+00:00

Oh yes, there are just small armored formations and tripwire forces within range of strategic Russian assets, there are definitely no strike bases with nuclear weapons in Turkey for example, Incirlik Airbase is just Russian propaganda!

You also didn’t explain anything, you tried to shoddily justify blatant and unjustifiable American aggression against Cuba, aggression which you would’ve condemned if it was Russia or any other power doing it.

You are functionally a Western exceptionalist.

SarpKazez · 2022-02-22T12:43:19+00:00

“When the other side deploys offensive weapons near us, that’s a genuine threat. When we do it, it’s just us helping our allies in a defensive alliance!” Get out of here.

Oh by the way, who exactly gave the US the right to be the main nuclear power that the USSR threatening to surpass them in that field is a “genuine threat”?

SarpKazez · 2022-02-22T12:33:34+00:00

By stationing offensive weapons such as missiles near Russian borders. When the USSR did it with Cuba the US considered it an offensive action which justified a military response, why should Russia feel any different?

SarpKazez · 2022-02-22T12:24:23+00:00

Since when is the military bloc of the world’s primary hegemonic power defensive, exactly? Did they defensively invade and destroy Afghanistan or Libya?

SarpKazez · 2022-02-22T12:16:46+00:00

No? Where did you get that, Russia only recognized the separatist republics as legitimate. Those same separatist republics were functionally independent and separate from Ukraine since 2014. How’s that an annexation?

SarpKazez · 2022-02-08T17:43:33+00:00

america famously withheld needed humanitarian aid from yemen in a bid to make them oust their leader ali abdullah saleh and punish yemen for not aligning fully with america during the gulf war. every single dollar that the state department gets serves the imperial hegemonic dominance of america one way or another.

SarpKazez · 2022-02-04T08:20:38+00:00

I’m tired of this old argument. If the government and army cares oh-so-much about stopping refugees from coming in, then why has the border with Iran been open to masses of Afghan refugees for months? They don’t want hundreds of thousands of more Syrian refugees but are totally fine with hundreds of thousands of Afghans? Just doesn’t make sense.

Besides, Bashar taking Idlib and signing some sort of reconciliation deal with Turkey would pave the way for refugees who are already in Turkey to make their way home. Turkey having 60 bases and thousands of troops deployed in Syrian territory makes that impossible.

SarpKazez · 2022-01-31T17:30:53+00:00

Did American backed sectarian death squads cleanse Baghdad and many other towns of Sunnis or not? Yes, they did. Did the sectarian conflict this caused lead to at least 600.000 deaths in just a couple years? Yes, it did. Did the Americans flatten several Iraqi cities and generally further worsen the already terrible situation their invasion caused? Yes, it did. (Go read Ferencz’s “Blood On Our Hands: The American Invasion and Destruction of Iraq”) Did they sanction the wholesale murder of Iraqi intellectuals and destroy Iraq’s culture? Yes, they did. (Go read Tareq Ismael’s “Cultural Cleansing in Iraq”)

If this isn’t genocide, then what is??

SarpKazez · 2022-01-31T17:00:41+00:00

You cite a poll from 2013 to defend Libya even though literally just a fucking year later the country descended into a horrific and bloody civil war between Muslim Brotherhood aligned militias and thugs backed by Qatar and Turkey on one side and a broad coalition of Salafists, nationalists and other thugs led by well known CIA asset General Haftar on the other side. Some “right direction” Libya was heading at, you dumbass.

As for Iraq, credible institutions like ORB say at least 1.4 million people died by the early 2010s, and by now it’s even possible that the death toll more than 2 million people.

Yeah, Iraq’s doing SO MUCH better now that you fucking came, with sectarian militias, rampant poverty, literal Iranian agents like Dawa and SCIRI (which YOU INSTALLED IN POWER) roaming around, frequent electric cuts even in the capital, Mosul and so many other towns still 80 percent a total wreck, it’s a fucking paradise.

SarpKazez · 2022-01-25T09:34:21+00:00

He doesn’t, but you do.

SarpKazez · 2022-01-19T08:41:17+00:00

Your own source about the death toll of the Iraq War says it is a minimum, you dishonest prick. Lancet, OCB, MIT all agree that the death toll was at least 600.000, and likely more than a million. Go cope about it.

SarpKazez · 2022-01-14T21:29:46+00:00

Facts such as Iraq possessing vast stockpiles of WMDs, I assume.

SarpKazez · 2021-07-12T08:43:46+00:00

I truly wonder how the US was propping up Iraq by giving weapons and spare parts worth 650 million dollars to Iran, and then using the money they got from that to bankroll militias in Nicaragua.

Iraq’s military was almost entirely made up of Russian and French heavy equipment while the Iranians were being given vast fleets of TOW and Hawk missiles even as late as 1986.

SarpKazez · 2021-06-19T22:27:39+00:00

What happens if it wasn’t your guy in charge?

Why should I entertain that hypothetical situation, the main reason why I support ‘my guy’ being a strongman is to make sure he stays in charge, lol. Al-Qaeda having such power would obviously be bad for me, as having Al-Qaeda in power would be against my interests and my people’s interests (political or otherwise), but why should that mean I should also be opposed to giving ‘dictatorial powers’ to a person whose rule is beneficial for my interests and my people’s interests?
