Should Russia invade Ukraine now and do a regime change?

[A.P. Richelieu]

Russia never invaded Afghanistan. It was the USSR defending the Republic of Afghanistan from US backed Taliban.

You show your utter ignorance once again...

The Taliban movement only appeared after the USSR left Afghanistan, and at that time
the U.S. had lost interest in the place.

The Taliban is more a creature of ISI, IMHO.

Only a matter of name. ISIS is the same as Al Qaeda in Iraq. Taliban and ISIS are both majahideens.

The Taliban were fighting against the mujahedin that won against the USSR.

Grouping become meaningless when you make the two sides in a war belong to the same group.

When you lack knowledge, you can't tell the difference between "gooks" or the difference between "niggers".

When you have knowledge, you know that Koreans and Japanese are different,
and you know that all mujahedins are not the same.

I think he's talking about militant islam in general, for example there's very little separating the so called "moderate" opposition in Syria from ISIS.

The Taliban is a creature of USA

A full scale war would do nothing.

Putin must focus on third parties to 'get the job done'. Anyway the government installed in Ukraine is not legitimate one. It was done under CIA's watch with NATO backing. Besides, as a global thumb rule whenever you see a wave for democracy, 99.9% of the time it is something to do with USA's intrusion.

Nothing personal against Ukrainians but they are burning up their own country for the sake of someone who doesn't even give a rat's tail about them. Ukraine going to NATO is the worst thing that can happen.

I don't think that the US generally backs militant islam.
They certainly did not back the Taliban, pre-USSR Invasion.

Like the US invaded Iraq in 2003? Ukraine's air power has been wiped out in Donbas and at least half of Ukraine's armored fighting vehicles and artillery have been wiped out in Donbas. Ukraine only has only about 200 tanks left.

Yes Russia should take it all
and Putin should be made Czar

Question to russia why you want Ukraine anyway?

Question to USA why you people are so power hungry ?

what's wrong with wanting power?
most men want money,power, and respect no different for countries it's pride.

 

[vostok]

Question to russia why you want Ukraine anyway?

Because half of the population of Ukraine wants to be part of Russia. Because Kiev - "Mother of Russian Cities", the first capital of Russia. Because more than half of the population of Ukraine and almost 100% of the population of large industrial cities speak Russian. Because we have one faith and one church. Because Ukrainians are part of the Russian nation.

oh, but of course there were no Taliban before the Russians killed Hafizullah Amin, were there ?

all through the Iraq war they were paying sectarian militias, both shia and sunni to work for them.

and what about Libya, how did that work out ? or Syria right now..

Paying sectarian militias to keep them calm, really does not mean that the US is trying to
promote an Islamist agenda.

Getting rid of a dictator and then leaving, letting people make their own decisions
is again not promoting an Islamist agenda.

here's what you said :

what the hell else are they doing in Syria ? all the so called moderates want sharia law and an "Islamic state"

a secular strongman>crazed religious lunatics, which is what all these jihadists are. I don't think Assad's as bad as he's being made out to be, problem with barrel bombs ? fine, then scrap the embargo and supply him some smart bombs, he is fighting al qaeda and co.. though I don't think that'll help much wrt civvie casualties, remember Gaza just a couple months ago ?

India, Turkey, Italy and Japan each have basing in 1 other country.

Mate, why "Pasha Naval Base" in Albania doesn't counts ?

Pashaliman was the only Soviet base in the Mediterranean in the 1950s. It was the hot spot of conflict between the Russians and the Albanians in 1961 when Albania pulled out of the Warsaw Pact. Most ships currently there are out of operation. Following the collapse of the Communist regime, the base was rebuilt by Turkey and under a bilateral agreement the Turkish Navy has the right to use it.
