Historical inaccuracy of the intelligence apparatus of the United States and it's influence on all Western nations.Upon what is that thought/trust based?

And what do you know of Russian intelligence accuracy? Ritter is parroting Russian news that we all know is heavily censored. It’s telling that Russians who can, seek western news as they know theirs is untrustworthy. Especially after they have removed/silenced all internal sources that offered opposing and independent POVs.Historical inaccuracy of the intelligence apparatus of the United States and it's influence on all Western nations.
Pointing out the truth is “ slurping the Russian propaganda”?Bill, Bill, Bill…smh. You’re right about one thing there…the US isn’t going to investigate war crimes. That’s because there is an international court that does those things.
Good to know there are a few “Americans” here siding with Russia and slurping the Russian propaganda. Congrats comrade. Putin’s efforts haven’t been totally ineffective.
Assuming true, they should be punished.
Ah, pro-Russian. It's two Volodymyrs.Two Vladimirs you mean, but I get what you're saying
- Ukraine didn't invade another country.So you haven't seen the video of Ukrainian troops with Russian prisoners? Its against the law to embarrass or intimidate a prisoner publicly. They also called the parents of dead soldiers on their phones and told their parents that they left their bodies in a street for dogs to eat... And technically he did invade another country. The 2 break away provinces wanted out and voted to leave. Zelensky kept them by killing people. Zelensky is a multimillionaire now too. President pays well... And Putin is worse but Zelensky is no saint.
So what is real evidence? Video only?The only real evidence of a war crime were in that video posted. Which just happened to be videoed just before the west started ratcheting up their war crime argument.
Yep. R's March 8th goals. U agrees. What are R's March 9th goals? LOL if you don't know it's more of U.
Thanks for responding. Yes, Trump had lots of good ideas and did good things - more than most all other Prez'. I voted for Trump twice & won't again for his not respecting our election process even if flawed (& costing Pubs US Senate control). But I don't take him to represent US Conservatism nor do I think Conserves as a group do. That said, Dims are way more authoritarian with all their constraints on media & regulations created w/o their being votes & take over of the economy with higher taxes.Donald J Trump is what I mean. Don't nominate him again if you want people to take conservatism seriously. He is a mini tyrant in the making. Yes he got a lot of good things done but push come to shove he didn't respect the number one priority in America, that this country is a Democracy. If our votes don't count the rest of the shit doesn't matter. Not to say there aren't authoritarian figures on the left, but they have been relegated to Congress mostly. The right is electing these people to President and the Senate and the House as well.
No, we actually saw the crime happen. That is real evidence.So what is real evidence? Video only?
Yes, I've learned to recognize it with your posts.You would know.
Germany says they have both audio and satellite evidence. Argue with them.No, we actually saw the crime happen. That is real evidence.
What we’ve scene doing far from Ukraine is blurred out pics, or images from satellites of supposed mass burials. We also have testimony that Ukraine was killing their own civilians from Ukrainians.
All I’m saying is perhaps, with all that Ukraine and the west has exaggerated in this past month, we should hold back on the war crime and genocide condemnations. That would be the prudent thing to do, when narratives aren’t more important than truth.
Makes sense that in the Russian historical mindset that this would be considered a literal Crusade to them. I.e., Putin isn't a madman but fanatical, ain't ever stopping.A Russian oligarch tried to bypass US sanctions before with an interesting American accomplice and a unique justification. A holy war.
Bill, please let us know of how you have first hand knowledge of any of this because if you don’t (and you don’t) then you’re trusting some other source of information/misinformation.Pointing out the truth is “ slurping the Russian propaganda”?
Do you ever think for yourself or just run with what you’re told to repeat every morning?
US isn't party to the international court on war crimes because we fear it would be used against us, correctly or not, overwhelmingly due to our involvement in so many conflicts.Bill, Bill, Bill…smh. You’re right about one thing there…the US isn’t going to investigate war crimes. That’s because there is an international court that does those things.
Good to know there are a few “Americans” here siding with Russia and slurping the Russian propaganda. Congrats comrade. Putin’s efforts haven’t been totally ineffective.
He's actually a Russian shill. He's to be made fun of.You’re under the impression that Ritter somehow knows the correct narrative. He doesn’t. His past access to intelligence is just that, past. Once he left his job as an intel officer that flow of info ceased. He writes for RT, his “info” is that fed to him via Russian sources. Somehow you seem to think or trust that those sources are more accurate than western sources. Upon what is that thought/trust based?
And who cares if it was legit. That territory belongs to the sovereign nation of Ukraine. Since so many don't like the fact that Azov and Ukraine fought to keep that land I'm guessing they felt the same way about our civil war.- Ukraine didn't invade another country.
- Where did the Donbas residents get the idea they have the right to vote to leave? From the US Confederacy?
- What makes you think such a vote was in any way legit by all residents there before the 2014 fighting there?
What we hear from Russia is highly censored. You do understand they have squashed all internal media that doesn’t toe the company line…right?No, we actually saw the crime happen. That is real evidence.
What we’ve scene doing far from Ukraine is blurred out pics, or images from satellites of supposed mass burials. We also have testimony that Ukraine was killing their own civilians from Ukrainians.

Personally, I couldn't care less what Ukraine does to Russian soldiers. Invaders get what they get.What we hear from Russia is highly censored. You do understand they have squashed all internal media that doesn’t toe the company line…right?
You also know that videos can be faked/staged.
There are 100s of journalists in Ukraine right now and they tell a little different story than what claim. Does that mean there are no war crimes from the Ukraine side??? No, but then Ukraine didn’t invade Russia. There is also a history of what Russian soldiers have done in other conflicts. You might want to check on that.
I’m not arguing anything, I’m simply stating the facts that we have and the danger in jumping the gun.Germany says they have both audio and satellite evidence. Argue with them.
Lol, you agreed with my original statement. The US House of Representatives or congress won’t be investigating war crimes, so the vote was irrelevant.Bill, please let us know of how you have first hand knowledge of any of this because if you don’t (and you don’t) then you’re trusting some other source of information/misinformation.
You think there was election fraud despite the fact that not one factual piece of information supporting that claim can be presented. It appears you have limited your information input to a very small/narrow band of informants that tell you what you want to hear.
How is what you’re describing in Russia different than what’s happening in the US? I have no idea what’s being reported by Russians, but I know our media has lost the trust of the American people by their actions.What we hear from Russia is highly censored. You do understand they have squashed all internal media that doesn’t toe the company line…right?

They won in Ukraine? What have they won?Lol, you agreed with my original statement. The US House of Representatives or congress won’t be investigating war crimes, so the vote was irrelevant.
No one in Russia will be held accountable if they are charged with a war crime, because they won in Ukraine.
It appears you’re a troll, a bad one at that.
The election was stolen, and the country is paying for it now.Bill, please let us know of how you have first hand knowledge of any of this because if you don’t (and you don’t) then you’re trusting some other source of information/misinformation.

Exactly what they set out to do. Ukraine isn’t joining NATO, they will get the Donbas regions, Zekensky just stated they will model themselves after Israel and they have hurt the West standing throughout the world.They won in Ukraine? What have they won?
Evidence of someone who is "going to" do something is a bit tougher than evidence of what they've done. I know Russia is lying thru their teeth, they always do. They did it to their own people and soldiers. Anything they say I will ignore until I have hard evidence. As for Ukraine, I'm sure we're getting a biased view of things but I'm not sure I've seen any huge lies they've told so far.I’m not arguing anything, I’m simply stating the facts that we have and the danger in jumping the gun.
Are you so naive that you can’t admit that a lot, if not most of what we’ve heard so far is BS? The US govt just admitted they didn’t actually have any evidence that Russia was going to use Chemical weapons, but they sure as hell told us they did for weeks.
They will not get the Donbas region. I'm still waiting on someone to tell me what is wrong with modeling Israel.Exactly what they set out to do. Ukraine isn’t joining NATO, they will get the Donbas regions, Zekensky just stated they will model themselves after Israel and they have hurt the West standing throughout the world.
The country loves the man, what's your problem?The election was stolen, and the country is paying for it now.
I'd say you don't know what you're talking about.The election was stolen, and the country is paying for it now.
There's nothing wrong with modeling after Israel, and they have already gotten the Donbas.They will not get the Donbas region. I'm still waiting on someone to tell me what is wrong with modeling Israel.
I'm interested see or hear Germany's evidence.Evidence of someone who is "going to" do something is a bit tougher than evidence of what they've done. I know Russia is lying thru their teeth, they always do. They did it to their own people and soldiers. Anything they say I will ignore until I have hard evidence. As for Ukraine, I'm sure we're getting a biased view of things but I'm not sure I've seen any huge lies they've told so far.
At any rate, what is your response to what Germany claims?
Sounds like his efforts in invading the brains of some “Americans” on this board are what have been effective. He must jump out of your closets at night.Bill, Bill, Bill…smh. You’re right about one thing there…the US isn’t going to investigate war crimes. That’s because there is an international court that does those things.
Good to know there are a few “Americans” here siding with Russia and slurping the Russian propaganda. Congrats comrade. Putin’s efforts haven’t been totally ineffective.
Interesting, seems like convenient timing, but if it occurred that to is a war crime.
In it and keeping it are two very different things.There's nothing wrong with modeling after Israel, and they have already gotten the Donbas.
Even my kid knows their names.Ah, pro-Russian. It's two Volodymyrs.
