Captured Russian position with lots of bodies.
I couldn't disagree more. Language or NO Language russia has no right to invade.
Russia should have Raised this issue in UN, and should have Involved it, But russia took International law in their hand.
And how did it turned out for us?
LTTE....Remember, Rajiv Ghandhi assasination?
Shouldn't you think UN INVOLVEMENT WOULD HAVE BEEN better?
Thank God, We didn't do that.
LTTE???
The language law is not serious.
We don't support them, we just try to work with them. You won't here me defending their every action and blaming the victim or someone else for their crimes.
Like all those Middle Eastern ones too?
Fact. To use it as justification for an invasion is ridiculous. I'm quite sure if the US invaded someone because of a language law you would not make excuses for them.
Zelensky was not in power in 2014. You said it was Zelensky's election that caused the invasion.
As you can see in your own link, this law has been criticized by the Venice Commission and recommended a number of changes. It's important to note that the European Union, which Ukraine wants to join, has demanded following the recommendations of the Venice Commission as a prerequisite for adhesion.
Also, this laws is from 2019. After Russia invaded. Without Russian interference, it would never have appeared. This was a reaction to aggression, as the Russian language has become a problem of internal security.
You're comparing a law mandating at least 50% Ukrainian content with large scale slaughter and torture. An excessive law can be amended. A life destroyed cannot be restored. There is literally nothing you can say that can justify Russia's actions, and the overblown hullaballoo about Ukraine's linguistic policies is certainly not one.
And in the areas "liberated" by Russia, Ukrainian is forbidden and talking in that language will get you summarily executed.
So convenient for willful blindness. People protest the occupation? Doesn't count, it's not insurgency. People attack the occupiers? They're misguided idiots. People getting murdered? Oh, it's anecdotal.
Do you have any valid proof that the majority of Ukrainians are siding with Russia?
Ukraine legally belongs to Ukraine. This is agreed by Russia given its signature of the Budapest Memorandum where Russia agreed to protect Ukraine's territorial integrity and sovereignty.
What makes the Kashmir situation special is the Indians themselves have reduced their Kashmiri citizens into second-class citizens in their own country. Unlike what's been propagated in Hindu fairy tales, the revocation of statehood and autonomy and the communication blackout imposed on Kashmiri is very serious. Had Pakistan been a powerful nation, they would have invaded Indian-occupied Kashmir, and it would have been morally justified. Funny, isn't it?
I Was In Kashmir During the Blackout. This Is What I Saw
We broke curfew. People have been killed for less. We took a huge risktime.com
But let's be real. What's the citizenship rank of minorities in Russia? I'd rather be a Russophone in Ukraine than an Ukrainophone in Russia. Or a Tatar in Russia. Or a Yakut in Russia. Or a Nenet in Russia. Or a Buryat in Russia. Or, heck, a Russian in Russia, for that matter.
A language law is not genocide. I can believe you're trying to compare Ukraine to Operation Searchlight. And was India really interested in the well-being of Bangladeshis, or just pulling East Pakistan away from Pakistan? You weren't exactly against Muslim or Sikh massacres at the time, someone could easily have used such massacres as a justification for invading India.By that logic, India is also wrong for invading East Pakistan. We should have simply watched the genocide happen.
They did that for 8 years and nothing happened. Google Minsk agreements.
UN can't help in a situation where the US is involved. The problem would have been solved in 1987 had the CIA not interfered.
If Russia detonates this dirty bomb, all its forces in Ukraine will be fair game to NATO.
They should be efficient.russian market is now being taken over by other countries.
The whole "uprising" in the Donbass was entirely orchestrated by the Kremlin, using Russian leaders and Russian troops. Ukraine didn't sink its own ship; Russia shot them.
Point is that when someone is hypocritical and biased enough, anything can be justified for any pretext. Randomradio here is pretending that having to have newspapers in Ukrainian is a perfectly valid reason for Russia to invade, pillage, torture, and murder.
Well what can I say, @randomradio very easily believes Russian Propaganda. This is not limited to just politics, but also in tech space too.
I remember him Regurgitating KRET's Propaganda about how new Photonic radar can easily do facial recognition from 400km away etc.
@randomradio Do you still standby that statement or have you reconsidered it? I am not trying to be a Di*k?
Yup! I get that.
No! It always starts with Putin trying to subvert Ukrainian democracy in 2013. The people voted to join the EU in 2010, both main parties campaigned for that.Somewhat granted, 'cause some of the main leaders are Ukrainian, with the Russians in the shadows. Would never have gained prominence has it not been for the coup. Mate, always start with the coup.
The coup is the reason for Russia's invasion. The language law is the reason for why the Russian-speakers in occupied areas are fine with the Russian invasion. They think of the 'invaders' as liberators and are actively supporting them.
War started after Pakistani aerial strike on us, Russia had attacked Ukrain just like Pakistan did to us in 71.By that logic, India is also wrong for invading East Pakistan. We should have simply watched the genocide happen.
