This hypotethical situation is impossible. It will never happen - China does not want it in the first place.

So you substitute deficencies in logical reasoning with abundance of profanity. I'm not surprised.

Implication with false hypothesis ("if Ireland invited China, then...") is logically worthless. Do you know basic logic?

I'm refering directly to the logical structure of your argument, that's real debate. Flawed logic leads to wrong conclusions.

Yep, you are the adult on the planet, and millions of people who actually know Russian (language) and Russia (country), totally get it all wrong. We need Western ubermenschen like you to guide us.

Actually, not. The presumption is impossible, so the whole implication is logically worthless. It's as good as asking "what if Ireland invited three-corned unicorns, how would UK react".

But you never asked any of us to hear our opinion, right? You know better what's good for us.

07.10.2025 12:10 โ€” ๐Ÿ‘ 0    ๐Ÿ” 0    ๐Ÿ’ฌ 1    ๐Ÿ“Œ 0

The question is: why Ireland would invite China to have a military base?

Have you considered asking people living in these countries what was their (our) motivation? Or are you so internationalist you don't care about some slavic subhumans?

Some did! And then for some reason they went to a high rise hotel.

In Eastern Europe, we hated Muscovy Russia before United Kingdom was actually united

Actually, it's easy. She wasn't the first and wasn't the last one to misread Putin and think he is primarily a businessman, when tempted with good deal, he will stop the war. She's as naive as Trump.

You read some weird media, they are usually full of complaining. Are the prices "sky high"? That's an overshot metaphor, at best. Not even every household is using gas these days. Do you?

Good Lord, how come nobody thought of this before? Give this guy a Nobel! He knows how to stop inflation - just delegalize it and problem solved!

Witold Jurasz: Burza po sล‚owach Angeli Merkel. Trzy wnioski dla Polski Byล‚a kanclerz Niemiec Angela Merkel w wywiadzie dla wฤ™gierskiego portalu Partizan nie powiedziaล‚a, tak jak relacjonowaล‚y to polskie, niemieckie i miฤ™dzynarodowe media, ลผe to Polska i paล„stwa baล‚tyckie...

Some people now defend Merkel by "she never said it". Indirectly, she did. She said she was pushing for new negotiation format. This "format" was in fact appeasement (like Trump's "let's do business, Vladimir"). That's what Poland & Baltics blocked (source in Polish): www.onet.pl/informacje/o...

I can if I know what she means by "we wanted to introduce a new policy of negotiating with Putin".

But just because someone posted a film on Youtube, that's must be 100% true!

According to Polish diplomat-turned-journalist, Witold Jurasz, actually she did. What she is referring to as "new EU policy" in this interview, was in fact appeasement: stupid idea that Putin will stop attacking if tempted by business opportunities. This is what was blocked by Baltics & Poland.

It is you who wonders what would happen if Ukraine regains Crimea.

This is absolutely insane to say that under Russian occupation, it is not possible to have a reliable opinion poll, because the population took a 11-yr old brutal training of obedience.

Russians will leave when the Russian base in Sevastopol is closed. The rest will have sudden change of heart when they will be no longer afraid to speak freely.

They don't have to "stand by". I posted you an article written by someone who understands Russia. When a stranger calls you asking political questions, you provide them "correct" answers, even if this stranger is saying they're from Gfk. They don't have to stand by you, they know how to find you.

One Year Later In Crimea: Polls Donโ€™t Tell The Whole Story โ€“ Andreachalupa-journalist and filmmaker

Pity. I enjoyed some of your videos (being humanitarian, of course I always preferred the ones when the orcs make the best decision of their life and come out with their arms raised)

I suggest you will simply agree with the obvious statement that under Russian occupation, there's no reliable way to check the level of support for this occupation.

I understand, but even "well respected scholars" when quote Russian official information - this is just as reliable as any Russian official information.

Paywall so no. I just have more trust in journalists who know Ukrainian (as the language) and Ukrainians (as the persons), when talking about Ukraine.

Do you mean "pawn" as in game of chess? How it could be not dehumanizing? This metaphor implies Ukrainian people have no agency, no mind of their own, no personal preferences. I find it a bit insulting. Would you appreciate being called a pawn?
