[QUOTE=AmericanPride;160910]As usual, your argument proves too much. How is that behavior unique to Russia or uniquely objectionable when conducted by Russia? In June 2002, the U.S. withdrew from the Anti-Ballistic Missile Treaty because in the words of President Bush, he concluded that "the ABM Treaty hinders our government’s ability to develop ways to protect our people from future terrorist or rogue-state missile attacks." In other words, the U.S. "ditched" a treaty because it "no longer worked" for it. Now - to follow your line of argument, you must critique every country that abandons a treaty because it perceives the utility of the treaty is no longer sufficient, including the U.S.
You have done this on several occassions. In your attempt to condemn the destruction of a civilian airliner by a air defense missile, you have argued that air defense missiles should be classified as weapons of mass destruction - even though every country employs air defense missiles. In your attempt to discredit my arguments, you have argued that those in closest proximity to the conflict are the most credible - meaning that Russian posters like mirhond should have more credibility than American posters, including yourself. I strongly recommend that you become more circumspect in your arguments.
Ah AP--the individual here who projected the argument that negotiations was the way forward with little else behind the theory.
EXPLAIN this statement after Russia supported a "ceasefire".
Want to explain their thinking and now the shelling that is still continuing AFTER the timeframe for all shellings to cease.
Waiting to see your response---ample evidence again of what you seem to think does not occur in political reality--"an altered state of reality" .
Below is about as "altered of thinking as one can get these days".
But again it is Russia you sell here that needs to be what "understood"---come on AP "understood"?
BREAKING #Russian ambassador to #OSCE said #Mariupol will be liberated as it belongs to #Donetsk region. WHAT????
AP---here is a perfect example of Russian thinking---hey we have a new land locked country called New Russia but it needs a port outlet for all that coal and steel exports so lets' just imagine that Mariupol is just part and parcel of Donetsk---so again AP you support this thinking correct?
