    Okay, and?

    Russia is the pressing threat. Throw Russia out first, and retake Crimea. Then deal with Azov fanatics. That’s what triage is; you deal with the big thing first, and then the smaller things. You don’t treat an amputated finger while someone is gushing blood from a severed carotid.

      retake Crimea

      Never going to happen.

      Then deal with Azov fanatics

      Also never going to happen.

      Western liberals ability to learn absolutely nothing from 9/11 is impressive.

        Never going to happen.

        Defeatist.

        Also never going to happen.

        Also defeatist.

        This is the point in time where I ask how Putin’s boot tastes like. Palestine kept fighting for over 80 years and your view of Ukrainian resolve speaks volumes. Sure, Azov might be the Ukrainian equivalent to Hamas, but last I checked invasion tends to breed extremist groups and those extremist groups tend to be a pain in the invaders ass. Word to IS and Al Quaida, who still haven’t been defeated by US imperialists. Will it take some time for them to get curbed after all is said and done? Yes, just look at the IRA. Needless to say, you’ve got plenty of other historical precedent to contend with.

          Wishful thinking trumped reality exactly never.

          Also defeatist

          NATO and Ukraine are never even going to try to deal with Azov, are you going to be going over there to deal with them yourself?

          This is the point in time where I ask how Putin’s boot tastes like.

          Of course it is. Because all you have is rote memorised thought terminating cliches.

          Palestine kept fighting for over 80 years

          Yeah, and even they aren’t trying for complete control of all of current Isreal, which would be equivalent to your expectation of taking all of Crimea.

          your view of Ukrainian resolve speaks volumes

          Insert wanking hand gesture here

          Sure, Azov might be the Ukrainian equivalent to Hamas

          They aren’t; Hamas aren’t neo Nazis.

          those extremist groups tend to be a pain in the invaders ass.

          Azov hasn’t been a pain in Russia’s ass; I don’t know why Westerners are so eager to attribute Ukraine’s success to them and not the regular Ukrainian military. I actually, I do know; Western liberals see Nazis as hyper capable.

          What Azov has been is an enormous boon to Russian propaganda.

          Word to IS and Al Quaida, who still haven’t been defeated by US imperialists. Will it take some time for them to get curbed after all is said and done? Yes, just look at the IRA.

          Did you really write these two sentences one right after the other without realising the irony?
