Wow that was quick.. the world is smelling Russian blood
Hasn't Japan been saying that for decades? They never signed a peace treaty because they dispute those islands. Also Chechens are actually fighting for both sides of the war. Also a "super power" collapsing? Is it 1991?
 
Well North Korea, China and Russia (Putin) have threatened the whole world about nuclear nukes a few times these past 2 years.
Threatening is different from actually doing something. Not saying this will go nuclear, but if NATO intervenes, it won't go well to both sides.
no way, languages can have a common origin language
what other words of wisdom you got for me?
No need for irony, trying to rationalize what he was trying to say by "Ukrainian being a dialect of Russian". It is false, but they do have a common origin. Not a justification for invasion, yet...
Are you claiming Biden is innocent on all of this? Because didn't he literally destroy USA oil plants and instead would opt for Russian oil? Same as energy?
Did he attempt to invade Russia? Did he threat Russia in any way or form before this invasion? He didn't destroy any US oil platforms, but don't make is sound like 50% of the oil used in the US comes from Russia, it doesn't
Escalation what were you saying? Or maybe... you don't want the truth on your face?
Yes, conflict escalation, or do you think Russia would happily let NATO shoot down Russian fighters out of Ukraine's skies?
 
£1 = 203.26 Russian Ruble

LOOOOOOOL

if you have £5,000 you a millionaire in Russia

LOOOOOOOOOOL

Russian woman here i cum
Do mail order brides still exist? Asking for a friend..


Also @blakeana given the region you live in I was curious about a hypothetical, if your country wanted to escape the current situation with China, would your country want to jump into something like NATO to avoid Chinese conflict or would they try to remain sovereign without any course of international treaty help? I know that China has been eyeing at doing something similar to you guys for awhile now and with celebrity sock puppets bowing down to China its probably not much better support wise in the world right now.
 
All Cantonese-speaking people understand Mandarin Chinese.
All Ukrainians understand Russian. 2/3 speak it natively. Fighting a language war is stupid.
All Ukrainian citizens speak Russian but not all of them speak Ukrainian. The Russian language is considered the standard, much like standard German in Austria/Switzerland or Mandarin Chinese in China (incl. Taiwan and Hong Kong).
Guangzhou is a long way from Beijing physically, culturally and linguistically -- and hackles have been raised by reports Communist authorities are demanding local television drop Cantonese in favour of Mandarin.

How to do you say "Hypocrite" in Cantonese? oh you wouldn't know would you.....

not going to unwrap the political lore, but I will give my own perspective of conflicts in general - arm up, arm up and once again ARM UP. don't treat any treaties as something reliable, as history teaches us all the time they are worth jack shit. it's best to focus on levelling up your own assets than relying on anyone's help.

treaties can be merely symbols that you are a developed country. that's all. any reliance on them is harmful.

No, that's not it. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Putin already declared war to Latin America back in 2015 when he was looking into supporting and financing terrorist regimes like Venezuela's President Nicolás Maduro (ask anybody around here):
Putin is eager to challenge GPS and the U.S. government by finding additional sites in the Western Hemisphere beyond Brazil and the Chilean coast over which to install new satellite stations.
https://globalpublicsquare.blogs.cnn.com/2014/07/28/why-putin-was-in-latin-america/

Thankfully back in the 70s, when, ex URSS influence reached Chile we got support from USA along our militia, and managed to get F-R-E-E-D-O-M, same thing Ukranians and allies are fighting and asking for now. It's exactly what happened to Chile back in 11th September of 1973.

If you want your country to go soviet, so be it. They want to menace the world throwing nuclear bombs around? They shall as well be held responsible of war crimes.

you say Canto speakers are mostly, if not all of them - being also Mandarin speakers but you never say the reason - PRC bandits imposing the drop of Canto in HK media

either you're a full-on moron and propagandist or you're a pussy
 
>russian soldiers
ah yes, these sick fucks that murder children and bomb everything including hospitals and schools sure are victims.

Now then, UKR military placing their own citizens in schools taking them captive and using as a cover! Fuck do you know about that you retard!

lol guess your only watching RT .... good.. I don't know how your going to take the fact the world is laughing at Russia military "might"
 
All Ukrainian citizens speak Russian but not all of them speak Ukrainian. The Russian language is considered the standard, much like standard German in Austria/Switzerland or Mandarin Chinese in China (incl. Taiwan and Hong Kong). If during the time of British rule, Hong Kong had declared Chinese as an unwelcome language, it would have been considered an aggression.

At the border of empires (that´s what Ukraine means btw: borderland), people often rebel to create their own state, see the American revolution or the American Civil War. Imagine if in the American Civil War, the South would have tried to join an adversarial military alliance. If you want war within your new state, you do stupid stuff like this (or banning official dominant languages).
Theirs 8 million Russian speaking in Ukraine (as their primary language), most located to the Easter.

Roughy 30 million speak Ukrainian. You are literally wrong in so many regards that I don't even wanna hear you speak a word about it.

Also it's not a borderlands for "Russia" it's a borderland between multiple nations since surprise surprise! Ukraine wasn't Russian first.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Name_of_Ukraine#Interpretation_as_"region”_or_“territory_“

I think Ukraine should go back to their 1919 borders.

Oh and in Hong Kong you don't speak Mandarin. You speak Cantonese.

You are a moron for suggesting equality between lanuages. La-di-da we are all the same.
I never denied the power imbalance between languages. Russian is the dominant language when compared to Ukrainian. German compared to Dutch, etc. The fact that this dominance has been inforced does not in any way negate my point: fight the dominant language and invite trouble.
 
No, that's not it. You have no idea what you're talking about.

Putin already declared war to Latin America years ago, and so back in the 70s, when, ex URSS influence reached Chile.
Thankfully we got support from USA and managed to get F-R-E-E-D-O-M, same thing Ukranians and allies are fighting and asking for now. It's exactly what happened to Chile back in 11th September of 1973.

You're making shit out of thin air, I never mentioned Latin America, you're deflecting the actual issue.

And by the way, the US didn't bring freedom to Chile in the 70's.
