Are you being sarcastic?

Because Indian did push in West Pakistan and even gained some territory. Americans did everything to blunt Pakistan's capability to defend by stopping the military hardware export to Pakistan.
I am being dead serious. The majority of Americans wanted us to manage the East Pakistan affair with logic and compassion and viewed our actions there to be morally and legally corrupt. The divide between the Government and pro East-Pakistan group was very big, which in some ways limited the actions the administration may have wanted to take to support West Pakistan but the administration still provided military assistance through illicit means.

You may want to read up on the National Security Archives (US) and other neutral accounts and news of the crisis/war and history of US sanctions on Pakistan since 1965.

Change Ukraine with India and Russia with China...he will say the same......................Haha

Let's say if someone uses those pro Osama Bin Laden banners that you see seldom flying about in Pakistan... Would that justify an Invasion of a hostile country and God forbid the same events as happening in Ukraine ? If no... Then what point are we trying to achieve here ?

Not that reason alone but there has been activism and volunteers being filmed by none other than Western Sources few days ago. Speaking of banners of Bin Laden doesn't makes sense at all. Have you read Putin's statement about Denazifying the Ukraine? The post was made in same context but apparently you missed that continuation. I will suggest that you can go back and read all the comments to understand that. Not my point but in-fact pointing towards what's being said and then done accordingly.

Are members of the Pakistani armed forces flying those banners? Are entire battalions using those banners as their insignia? If not, then the situations aren't comparable.

That's why India purchase most weapons from Russia?
as I said if you build a stick yourself , that's better . in case of war with Russia your weapons are less than a stick

Well yes..they have tried Qatar, Egypt and others to supplly them more Gas.. but they all have said they were sorry but can't replace the quantity of the Russian supplied Gas to Europe..It is one of the most important cards in the hands of Russia.. and even if the Europeans were not to buy it anymore..Russia very recently has secured a 30 year Natural Gas supply contract with China..

Denazify............. this is exactly why I was looking for some Ukrainian volunteers' training footage with swastika flags. How come someone support a country that hosts Nazi mindset? At-least, Russia was not going to tolerate such thing in the neighbour and interestingly, West/US or Israel had no issue with those groups in Ukraine.

@RescueRanger


With all due respect, I can only repeat what I wrote today so often since I strongly need to oppose this most simplistic standpoint: Yes, there are Nazis in Ukraine, no-one denies and they have a severe social issue with this. Fact!

However also fact is, that other countries - including France, the USA and Russia itself - have similar tendencies too. As such to condemn a whole country, its society and its government as being Nazi infected or even a Nazi regime shows only a lack in historical understanding or being fallen into a well-laid propaganda trap.

This is worse, when this is used as an argument for an all-out war against the whole country and not only within/against those occupied regions. AGAIN YES, Nazis are an evil - I know it quite well from my country's own shameful history - but as noted, unfortunately other countries do have the same issues too. Therefore any claims or comparisons, the Ukrainian government is a Nazi regime and all their "outrages" would be comparable to Saddam Hussein, Bin Laden or any other terrorist's crimes is both inappropriate and unjustified here. (Like certain members try to portray here and at the SDF)

Again, I want to make clear that NO-ONE denies there are Nazis in Ukraine but this is not the real reason and even more, never an excuse for that war.


As a final word, let me add a personnel note: I'm neither pro US or EU nor am I defending their system. In fact I'm opposing the lack of NATO's of understanding towards Russia's security concernsand the fallen promises once made during the negotiations towards my own country‘s reunification since a long time as shameful. In fact in other forums I'm much too often called the understander of Russian and China! But it is my strong believe, that war is not the answer, even lesser when based on lies!

Consequently I never applauded what the US did in other countries and we all know to what terrible consequences such and other lies led in the ME, in Iraq, Iran and Syria …. But again, this is not a reason to advocate or justify this war!

I hope for at least a bit of understanding since in another forum I was right thereafter condemned as a Nazi-supporter or even a Nazi since I am opposing this war and/or since I am a German.

So, lets stay rationale and not too much simple-minded to judge by a single (or even a few more) images posted in the Internet since they support our opinion … the reality is often not that simple.

Best and take care,
Andreas
