This is scary

Civilian power stations are NOT legal targets, but rather terroristic ones. 

There are no "civilian" power stations in Ukraine. Every power station is used for to supply power military objects or railways for weapon/technic transportation or manufacturing plants for munition production via power network - since USSR time Ukraine has single, united, state owned power network for power distribution to any object in Ukraine: civilian or military, so every power station for sure is connected to every military facility via that network.

When Russia destroys power generation, and Ukraine has deficit of power, it is solely Ukrainian choice whom to keep to supply - military or civilian objects, and whom to switch off.

Indeed. Time for the west to supply weapons that can reach Russian power stations and other infrastructure since the US, UK and Russia are all ignoring the Budapest memorandum.

Two questions. How can anyone defend Putin? and Why are we talking about Russia in this thread?

Both good questions. Don't be so cerebral - just go with the chaos! 😆

I like Nicaragua! Nuclear missiles should be installed there! The world must be protected from murderers, rapists and maniacs from the USA

Thank you so much for the humor vinapu and that we didn’t cross the line! Or did we overcome it?

Is this an idiomatic expression? It's not clear to me, I'm from a different cultural environment. Kindly explain yourself

[forky123]

It's a reference to the proverbial idiom "Pot calling the kettle black" which describes a situation in which someone comments on or accuses someone of a fault which the accuser shares. In this case you saying the world needs protecting from murders, rapists and maniacs from the US when the same is true of Russia.

Explain this to the Americans who are placing nuclear weapons around the world and posing a threat to everyone

Portugal President to Palestinian Ambassador: "You shouldn't have started it". It's really that simple!

Find out how many Palestinian children the Zionist regime has killed since the beginning of the year! This justifies any actions of grieving fathers!

You say that like it is something new. It's been like that since the 1950s - and all of the weapons are in NATO ally countries with their knowledge and consent.  So why are you clutching your pearls? It is 70 year old news. 

What is new is that Putin now has Russian nuclear weapons in Belarus. So, who is the one making changes to the balance of power? Isn't that change what is really posing a threat to everyone?  

Open your eyes to reality.

Have you seen the map? Where is Belarus located?

But I like the truly democratic government in Nicaragua. Nuclear protection from aggression of the USA empire is required

Your right, in the same manner the US should also provide Ukraine with nuclear weapons since the 1994 agreement where they gave them up has been broken.

American provocateurs themselves violated the Constitution of Ukraine. This is what destroyed the state. East of Ukraine and Crimea against lawlessness

Indeed, Belarus is outside of the borders of Russia and closer to Russia's adversaries - that was the point you were trying to make (unsuccessfully) about the dreaded USA empire, right? 

Nicaragua is a successful democracy only by Putin's definition. Same game plan: you get rid of all the opposition leaders and get "elected" time after time basically by default.  Your definition of "empire" also needs a bit of work.

You organize a circus every 4 years! No matter who you elect, nothing will change. The USA has already placed in prisons everyone who is against it, the number of political prisoners in the USA is the largest in the world

I guess if you defenestrate or feed polonium to opponents you avoid having to imprison them.

Next time they will have choice between a war-mongering Biden presidency for another four years or giving the overtly neo-fascist Trump a second chance to steer the country toward becoming an autocratic enclave for the billionaire class and ultra nationalist minorities.

Biden’s response to the Russian attack on Ukraine was not one that sought an early ceasefire and diplomatic compromise. Rather it opted for weaponry and assistance to sustain a prolonged war in Ukraine as a demonstration of US-led NATO resurgence, seemingly not so much motivated by the defense of Ukraine but by an overwhelming interest in humiliating Putin and defeating Russia.

Biden added a geopolitical level of encounter to the devastating war on the ground, with the hope that inflicting defeat on Russia would lead China to give up any hope of incorporating Taiwan. This agenda aims above all to extend U.S. unipolar primacy as a permanent feature of the post-Cold War world, effectively a Monroe Doctrine for the world.

Such a provocative course of action was undertaken in the face of risking nuclear escalation and the likelihood of another ‘forever war,’ undoubtedly bringing the people of Ukraine prolonged suffering and accompanying devastation. In the background of such behavior is an apparent cavalier attitude toward the onset of a new cold war, which is already underway in the form of a costly, risky arms race, uncooperative problem-solving in response to an array of global challenges

The USA has already placed in prison EVERYONE who is against it? Not only do I doubt it, I know for an absolute certainty that it is not true.
