That I show many Military and Political experts throughout the world that are like-minded...prove that you are wrong AGAIN when you claim it is only me that holds my view of this.
Military experts such as MacGregor, Black, Bakshi, Ritter, etc...and renowned academia's like John J. Mearsheimer.
Please provide your qualifications and expertise relative to theirs, that would indicate the superiority of your claims.
I can also cite experts and academicians. So what? I would than ask you to provide your personal qualification relative to theirs, you would not, and we would be no further. This is not a discussion between diplomatic and military experts, this is a discussion between a bunch of people on a silly forum.
I never said you were the only person who held this view. I said that your arguments were unconvincing, and they are. People lie about their reasons and arguments all the time. I don't presume to know what your real reasons are for supporting Russian aggression, but I would be shocked if you really, truly believed that by calling it a "special military operation" it differs in any substantive way from an invasion.
I can tell you are all tweaked-out about it. Most unfortunate.
Some are overcome by deranged compulsions...even to cling to certain inconsequential words.
They have my sympathy...and I will keep them in my best thoughts.
20 years ago does not matter, we do not have time travel machines.
People paint the NATO alliance as aggressive, but it is not. The NATO alliance is a defensive alliance that only activates if a NATO member is attacked.
Russia had active trade with EU members, who are also NATO members. Relatively unrestricted travel, business, and education opportunities.
There was no reason to want NATO restricted, unless Russia wanted to invade potential NATO countries, which they obviously did and have recently done.
Russia is very clearly the aggressor here, and holds 100% of the responsibility.
It is cenfuries old Western operation to wipe out Russia.
Two crap hole countries fighting over a border that’s been disputed for centuries. This is just a money laundering/redistribution scheme writ large. The US empire is collapsing and this regime is going to get all it can while the getting is still good.

And you with me and it would be nice if you got yourself a dictionary.
It is cenfuries old Western operation to wipe out Russia.
If I state 20 years ago does not matter, why would you think that "centuries old" would be convincing to me?
Anyway, it is a silly argument. Nothing from centuries ago is consistent with today. Centuries ago Europe was plagued with constant warfare. Lines were drawn between Protestants and Catholics, with Jewish pogroms thrown in for good measure.
Italy and Germany did not exist as countries. Once Germany and Italy did exist they were the allies before WW1, then enemies during WW1, then allies for WW2, now they are allies within NATO.
The Habsburg dynasty ruled Austria-Hungary and Spain. The Pope had real political power.
England had colonies in North America. Some revolted, others separated from England peacefully.
Sweden used to be a major military power. France invaded everybody.
Ignoring all of those historical realities, and the fact that nations and alliances evolve over time to create a centuries long operation to destroy Russia is silly. Russia is a player in Eurasia, and they have been isolationist, agressive and defensive, as have most other countries. There is no long term illuminati-style plot here.
Working through negotiated Peace Agreements is not "surrendering".
It is when the agreement is one side gets everything they wanted.
