You would have to prove that there was an agreement first of all, on paper or agreed verbally. Do you have any testimony of someone who was in the room at these negotiations to testify to that fact?
There's an entire trove.
Enough people believe it happened for me to believe it happened.... I am not even going to try and hunt down the memos and read them all.
I am not defending them, I am just saying it like it is. Just because they are thugs does not make Ukraine innocent.
I am not advocating for anything, this is what has changed that is all there is to it. The only choice is whether to stick your head in the sand or adapt to the new world.
Ethnic cleansing is any campaign whether hard of soft with the intention of removing an ethnicity. Forcing people to stop being Russian by coercng them to abandon their culture by way of eradicating their language fits the description.
This is not about preference this is about the state attempting to eradicate a language. If these Afrikaners ethnically cleanse themselves that's their business.
No this is where I admit I don't remember exactly and am not going to do the effort to try and find it because I have better things to do. You have have google you can look for yourself if you are actually interested.
No it goes both ways, Russia succeeding will signal the possibility to others who in time will act upon it. This is not the isolated incident people want to pretend it is.
Question about this real quick...
They are innocent of starting this war, whatever else they might be guilty of isn't relevant in a discussion about this war.
Nope, you are just changing the meaning of words because you like the emotional weight calling it ethnic cleansing, it is most certainly not ethnic cleansing by any accepted definition of the word.
Afrikaans is still an official language of this country though, seems pretty odd for a language that people are supposedly trying to eradicate.
Okay so a slight variation, If you have no time to at least point me in the right direction regarding your assertions then I certainly am not going to invest time in googling for them on the off chance I stumble upon the random website that you are obliquely referring to.
Admitting Russia holds superior cards is not the same as supporting it.
Actually Hitler cared a great deal for his people on the macro scale where you focus on the micro scale, he was just an overly ambitious and in the end delusional. This does not make him good it just means he cared.
Yeah I don't feel the need to polish anyone's petard that energetically so agree to disagree... TBH all the weird worship of him makes me uncomfortable.
It's not a matter of support, it's a matter of lack of support. The world I support is very different from the real world (and has never existed) but it's the real world I live in so I take pains to understand it. I find it more productive to handle the world as it is while working towards what I think it should be..... that includes handling bears as if they are bears instead of pretending they are puppies.
Only if you believe the war started with the kinetic phase, which I don't.
No no changing the meaning, if a word as important of that caries emotional weight that weight was added inaccurately so once you strip the weight away you come to the objective (as in emotionless) truth. Emotional terms used in that way are nothing more than propaganda lies.
It was an actual law limiting the the use.... how the hell was that voluntary?
The difference between natural assimilation and cleansing is government force being brought to bear progressively forbidding the use.
There is functionally only one language official in SA... English. All others are being cleansed as well as collatoral damage in the ANC's war on Afrikaners.
Use duckduckgo, less biased than google. I can't think why you would have much difficulty. Again, most of what I remember is from interviews over the last few years so can't specifically say without rewatching the lot.
So in your mind Ukraine is the same as Russia, as bad as them? And you call yourself objective. Wow, just wow.
The necessary level of "bad" has been achieved. They furthermore used to be called the most currupt country in europe and then poked the bear on behalf of it's enemy..... they got what they asked for. The details of how bad they or the bear happen to be is utterly irrelevant.
Eastern Europe was a mess before Communism and it's a mess after, chaos and war is to be expected.
No you proved that the side you identified as good won, not that they won because they are good.
LOL!@Cray
To put it differently.... don't be this guy. You have the capacity to find truth without extra help the same as me. If you havent yet you just have not looked.
Macro, not micro. He as a race builder not a person manager.
You seem to not have noticed I only rhetorically ask for sources in specific circumstances where I don't think any actually exists..... I don't actually ask for sources.
Fair, given you don't provide any either.
Ok, but which people. Every German?
