I’m sure you’ve heard of Pol Pot and the killing fields of Cambodia.

Did you know who stopped Pol Pot? It was Vietnam. Vietnam, already devastated by a series of wars, undertook a invasion of Cambodia and deposed Pol Pot, partly because Pol Pot was killing ethnic Vietnamese people who lived in Cambodia.

And throughout the whole thing, America condemned Vietnam. America accused Vietnam of being expansionist. America was on Cambodia’s side.

Just a thought.

Couldn't find anything good to say about Russia that wasn't a joke line?

I'm saying the Russia/Ukraine situation seems very analogous to the Vietnam/Cambodia situation.

Who were the Ukrainians killing before Russia came to save them?

And who was president of Ukraine while that was happening? Viktor Yanukovich, pro-Russian stooge and convicted traitor.

Now, why would a pro-Russian Ukrainian be giving Russia cover to invade Ukraine? I'm sure we'll never know, but maybe there are some falsehoods we can flag and eliminate from consideration.

And who was president of Ukraine while that was happening? Viktor Yanukovich, pro-Russian stooge and convicted traitor.

No, it was Petro Poroschenko, the pro-European billionaire installed as president by an American-backed coup.

Russia invaded the Donbas in April 2014. Poroshenko didn't become president until June.

Jesus, you all don't even know your own history.

This story is from November 2014.

Yes, at which time Russia had been illegally invading the Donbas for about 7 months. Try and keep up.

So you agree that Poroschenko was president at this time.

Because you just claimed it was Yanukovich (and got snotty with me for correcting you).

Try and keep up.

Keep up with what? You're the one who was wrong.

Yes, at which time Russia had been illegally invading the Donbas for about 7 months.

I think you're confusing Crimea with the Donbas. Those are two different things. Russia invaded Crimea in 2014. Russia didn't invade Donbas until 2022.

This story is about Donetsk, which is in the Donbas.
