Everyone notices you still do not answer to the very direct two questions --you stated you want a discussion but strangely you back away from a discussion when two very simple formulated questions are posted back to you---wonder why?
Again for a third question --just what is and or has come out of Putin, his FM and anyone in the Moscow elites in the last eight months that is really worth discussing here---awaiting a good example.
Will give you some choices to pick from that is now treading.
Lavrov: Russia helps Ukraine by sending aid [sic!], accepting refugees, lowering rates on coal, electricity, not demanding debt repayment.
Notice by the way he did not state Russia is actively supporting and implementing Minsk 1--now that would be a solid discussion proposal--is Russia in fact just using Minsk 1 to send in more troops and heavy weapons and yet argue is all the Ukrainians fault?
OR we could discuss the theft of Ukrainian coal by Russia and verified by the OSCE and then selling it back to the Ukraine--now that is an interesting topic as well.
So now Rogozin is admitting that US missile-defense plans are no threat to Russia? Am I missing something?

I am confused here--has not Putin and his FM often stated since August 2014 that the US missile shield is a direct threat to Russia--this would led to the question--- what is real and not real in the current Russian disinformation/information war campaign? We coud even use the various Russian media statements that both have used stating the US missile threat if you like.

Even more confused by the FM's comments ---has not open source analysis 200% proven and yes it was used recently in the UNSC that Russian troops and or their supported, supplied and funded mercenaries shelled the buses at Volnovakha, Donetsk and shelled the civilian residential areas of Mariupol? Or did I miss the SBU voice intercept of the Russian mercenary GRAD batteries that fired into the city but wait it was also posted here as well---that makes it then simple to pull up and discuss.
But again wait--was not Putin's Berlin proposal of pulling back heavy artillery 15kms just a rehash of what was already in the Minsk Agreement "signed" by Russia in Sept 2014, BUT wait did not Russia recall it's signature from the November 2014 ceasefire Minsk document?--so maybe you could assist in sorting out exactly what Putin's position is that the FM is referring to?
That would be a great discussion topic that might not get into anti Russian comments.
We could start a discussion thread just on those shellings if you would like---BUT wait were the various open source analysis products already posted here at SWJ? And we could get the comments of the US UNSC Ambassador who quoted the analysis if you like as well.
Or we could include as a discussion the Russian mercenary executions of Ukrainian POWs-but wait that was also already posted as well.
So back to the original thread---just pick a discussion topic and let's see where it takes us-but again you never answer anything anyway.
So in the end it is all words and nothing more.
Forgot you mentioned "buttered bread"---that minds me I have a business brunch this after noon so make a decision on your "favorite topic" from above, provide some thought provoking statements and I will respond in a "not to overbearing anti Russian fashion" and let's see if you can discuss.
