Why the double standard?

I don't know what I'd do since Russia has no history here. In Ukraine, at least 30 and some say 40 percent of Ukrainians speak Russian. at home and casually. In fact, Zelenskyy is having to learn Ukrainian because he only spoke Russian previously.
They speak English in Ireland. I suppose this means it would be fine for UK troops to invade Ireland and drop bombs on Dublin?

Aren't your family military?

A lot of my family is military.

I am not saying I would be OK or not with it, I am simply saying that I would look at recent history.

If the Irish had been bombing an English enclave in Ireland for 8 years I'm pretty sure you'd see some retaliation a bit sooner. The better analogy would be the Russians organising a coup d'etat in Mexico and installing a puppet government with a view to stealing that country's resources. In the meantime any Americans would be ethnically cleansed and communities bombed for 8 years. An agreement for peace with America would be made, twice, and broken by the Russians twice, and the eastern bloc would be parking their tanks in Mexico and trying to add it to the Warsaw pact. The USA, as usual, are the real criminals in this enterprise, and just some cursory research and objective analysis will reveal the truth on this.

Wrongo pongo...again.
USA is aiding Ukraine in its self defense,
which is the response they chose to
Russia's invasion.
I am not wrong. The US (otherwise know as your tax dollars at work, and mine too) is funding Ukraine's self defense as they throw US rockets into Russia. and we'd be funding a lot more if the "bipartisan bill" had passed.

You're straying from the earlier claim in post# 67.

Better than the one Putin sold you.
How do sociopaths behave?
By accusing others of the things they are doing to others.

Sick behavior. The NATO has been expanding towards East in order to surround Moscow ...
but somehow the NATO is accusing Russia to expand towards West.

Please, go and boil your head. It may improve your cognition.

Right. There's no double standard. It's just Google algorithms.
To be fair, I went to google news and search for "Ukraine casualties." The most recent update was 2 days ago. There are a bunch of summaries of the whole war available. Then, half way down the page is a second article from 3 days ago.

This is hardly what I would call steady stream of articles every day after every new bombing.

I'm going to move on now. I have done my due diligence, and my point has stood. I wish you the best.

But for how much longer will your be able to use it.

US regulators seek to break up Google, forcing Chrome sale as part of monopoly punishment

Oh, if they break up Google, I will be ecstatic.

And apple.

And microsoft.

And the merger between Albertsons and Kroger should be prevented.

I could go on. You get the point. When you only have several companies controlling any industry, everyone pays. That's why they are illegal.

So what?

Should Spain move in and take half of south america? And plenty of the US for that matter?
Does it really change the cards simply because people speak spanish?

Good description of the sociopath known as Putin.

False. It expanded eastwards because countries in the east have been begging to join.


but somehow the NATO is accusing Russia to expand towards West.
The difference is that eastern countries are begging to join the west.
While Russia is trying to go west by use of military force

I thought you were so big on people's right of self-determination?
I guess that only counts when (supposedly) people want to join russia.

Russia has an economy roughly the size of Italy's, so the suggestion it's trying to invade the West is absurd.
It does however possess some very advanced missile technology, so whilst it doesn't even have the resources to do what you claim, it does have a very nasty bite.
Also, the USA has 750 military bases worldwide, Russia has 3 outside of the old Soviet bloc, so tell us more about Russia's plans for world dominion whilst your country is actually the real problem (supported by mine).

Putin always says the truth.
That's why he is hated by the phony deceivers in the West.
Because the phonies envy outspoken and blunt leaders like Vladimir.

Yeah...and that would be absolutely wonderful.
If the NATO were a pacifist and peace-promoting organization.
On the contrary, it is a warlike organization sowing the seeds of wars and discord.

And I can say anything about the NATO because article 11 of the Italian Constitution defends my freedom of speech.
To criticize an organization that insults and defaces the sacred principles of my constitution.

Because they are scared.
They are scared that devilish warmongers use the NATO to conquer Moscow and rob all the Russian raw materials from the Russians.

The NATO has never denied that their goal is to antagonize and ultimately conquer Russia.
They have never denied that.

When they evolve from the primitive-warlike stage, I will say you're right.
