  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

There have been over a million casualties much because Democrats elected Joe Biden and Joe said a "minor incursion" would be allowed. I had an immediate reaction and was dreading that Putin would invade and call it a minor incursion. My fears became reality. Everyone's life is precious. At least one man in the world is trying to negotiate peace, it is madness to fight a war with no ending. Ukraine does not have to accept any offer, but at least someone is seeing that an offer is made.
Imagine how many lives could have been saved if we sued for peace on 12/8/41.

You still believe that worn-out Western propaganda?

Who are you listening to that says/writes otherwise? Not Russia, I hope. This is what they said regarding their intent of invading Ukraina before the invasion.

That is rather imprecise. Did someone of them say that Russia wouldn't try to expand further? Russia have been trying to impose it wills on its neighbours since before the russian invasion.

No. From the outside looking in when both come to a peace agreement, and if the USA is in the agreement for security, Russia will not go to war with us, not yet.

Russia's not the only superpower doing this; we all meddle in each other's business, and America's was the Middle East. Whether you want to believe this or not, Russia felt threatened by NATO expansion.

All Ukraine has to do is listen to Russia because they haven't been doing well because of manpower. Russia will create a buffer zone that Putin requested a decade ago due to NATO expansion. Ukraine wants to keep the land that their Army holds and Putin won't stop till he gets what he is after (Not the whole of Ukraine. Zillinsky better hurry up because if they lose the Port of Odesa (I hope not), they'd be in deep kimchi.

Russia hasn't moved one centimeter closer to Odesa in the last 3 years.

Yeah, I have to admit that that arguement left me baffled on where exactly was it pulled from?

There are plenty of Russia stooges in the worldwide media. It's hard to track all of them.

No, that would be untrue. Well true in a sense. Russia has not been worried about NATO in the sense that they are threatened by it in the sense that you seem to imply that NATO would invade or otherwise militarily threaten them. They are "threatened" in the sense that NATO expansion means diminishing of their ability to use the threat of force (several kinds) to influence the countries they formerly occupied.

I know, becausr I do not have Christmas dinner or crackers or any of the other things.

It came to me in my thoughs, the famous, Christmas truce from ww1.

It lasted only one day, what is wrong with giving peace a chance.

It might be good for all the armchair generals on CF to take a day off.
The real miracle of the christmas truce was that after eating, drinking, singing and even paying soccer together, the soldiers of the two sides went back into their trenches and got back to killing each other.

Two armies scrapping for yards of countries neither even belong to.

Quite different than having your own country invaded. And by forces who flat out target civilians. I dont blame Ukrainians one bit for fighting back any hour of any day of the year.
