Quote Representing a range of views, including a contingent seen as sympathetic to Moscow, they positioned themselves as brokers who could help solve one of the thorniest foreign policy problems facing the new administration — the ugly military stalemate between Russia and Ukraine and the tough sanctions imposed on Moscow following its seizure of Crimea. I love when you are so pissed and ESPECIALLY tired that you start getting really sloppy. It makes it so easy for me. I can literally see you slowing down and getting tired in your typing. And yes........I am baiting you. The best part is how I can tell you that I am bating you, and then you getting pissed off and taking the bait. Link to post Share on other sites

54212 432 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Why do lie so stupidly? It doesn't say they want Russia as the national language, they want it as a regional language, which makes sense because there are so many Russian transplants in certain areas of the Ukraine. And how is federalism pro-Putin? And how is wanting to keep Ukraine neutral and out of NATO inherently pro-Putin? Link to post Share on other sites

TO answer your NATO question, that's the easiest: https://www.reuters.com/article/us-russia-nato-putin/putin-warns-nato-against-closer-ties-with-ukraine-and-georgia-idUSKBN1K92KA Quote Putin warns NATO against closer ties with Ukraine and Georgia World News July 19, 2018 / 12:13 PM / 6 months ago MOSCOW (Reuters) - Russian President Vladimir Putin on Thursday warned NATO against cultivating closer ties with Ukraine and Georgia, saying such a policy was irresponsible and would have unspecified consequences for the alliance. The issue has been a source of anger for Russia — which shares a border with both countries and does not want to see them join what it regards as a hostile military bloc — since 2008 when NATO leaders promised Ukraine and Georgia they would one day join the alliance. Putin, speaking to Russian diplomats from around the world assembled in Moscow, said on Thursday there was a need to restore trust in Europe and spoke out against what he said was NATO’s attempts to deploy new bases and military infrastructure near Russia’s borders. “We will respond appropriately to such aggressive steps, which pose a direct threat to Russia,” said Putin. It is.......without a doubt, one of Putin's core policies and part of his longtime goal towards reclaiming ex-Soviet states. And now time to start getting into Ukrainian politics. You notice how Lyovochkin is now under a newly formed political party just beginning since last year? It actually happened just a couple of months ago. So let's visit Ukraine's main news source: https://www.kyivpost.com/ukraine-politics/ukraines-russia-friendly-opposition-splits-ahead-of-presidential-election.html Quote Ukraine’s Russia-friendly opposition splits ahead of presidential election By Daria Shulzhenko. Published Nov. 20, 2018. Updated Nov. 20 2018 at 5:12 pm The Opposition Bloc is the successor of the Party of Regions, the former ruling party that disbanded after its leader, then-President Viktor Yanukovych fled Ukraine in the EuroMaidan Revolution, an anti-government uprising, in February 2014. The former Party of Regions members, including Vilkul, Boyko, and Lyovochkin, formed the Opposition Bloc – a conservative party with the base in Ukraine’s eastern regions. The party doesn’t openly declare its pro-Russian stance, but manifests it in its activities. The split in the Opposition Bloc puts an end to a months-long speculation about a possibility of a single presidential candidate from the pro-Russian forces in Ukraine. The split is a political separation between two main camps inside the Opposition Bloc: the group of Boyko and Lyovochkin, and the group of lawmakers backed by the richest Ukrainian oligarch Rinat Akhmetov, the former sponsor of Yanukovych. It also marks Boyko’s union with Viktor Medvedchuk, a pro-Russian Ukrainian politician and a personal friend of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Medvedchuk, who for years was a standalone power center in Ukraine’s political life, joined forces with Rabinovych’s Za Zhyttia in July. Boyko joined their group three months later. Ukrainian political scientist Volodymyr Fesenko, the head of the Penta Center for Applied Political Studies, said that the pro-Russian opposition will now have at least two candidates run for presidency in the upcoming elections, which he reckons is no bad thing. I........................................don't need to explain to you who Viktor Yanukovych is and how he's related to Putin, do I?

McWicked 825 Posted January 11, 2019 Author Share Posted January 11, 2019 This back and forth is great, because Saucer went from someone who could generally...sort of...back up what he was saying in the politics thread, to full on Victimhood Vini mode where he sticks his fingers in his ears and employs the God of the Gaps defense. "Well was Kilimnik acting as a Russian operative on that specific day that he tool that polling data? And did he hand it over to Vladimir Puting himself, directly, on a direct flight?!?! CHECKMATE ATHEISTS!! " Kilimnik is a Russian operative. There is nothing more to discuss. Even Fox News is on my side on this one. Link to post Share on other sites
Mr. House 3,371 Posted January 11, 2019 Share Posted January 11, 2019 Can someone explain to me what Putin would do with that poll data that would be harmful to the US? Serious question. In fact, I don't quite see what could Trump could do in collusion with Russia that would affect the voting process in any serious capacity. Let alone ensure his electoral victory. You'd think the only thing that matters are votes. What are people afraid of exactly? I don't quite understand it, or is it only to prove that Trump is a corrupted Pro Russian guy?

Nothing stop them from propagandizing in mass on the internet with or without that. Hell, an electoral campaign is basically propaganda already. What's the difference? Something like Hillary having her emails leaks is an obvious thing, but Russia targeting voters in swing states? That I don't get. Seems like a stupid tactic that could backfire on Trump harder than anything he can potentially get from it. Be more specific. Link to post Share on other sites

Target his Russian bots in certain regions of the country. Start posting on social media sites in those locations so that people from that area may be influenced by it. Because they can't hit all 50 states, and its be a completely inefficient endeavor to try and do so. They'd also want updated polling to see if their tactics have been working. Because Russian bots is something they started doing well before 2016. Link to post Share on other sites
