    I’m sure you’ve heard of Pol Pot and the killing fields of Cambodia.

    Did you know who stopped Pol Pot? It was Vietnam. Vietnam, already devastated by a series of wars, undertook a invasion of Cambodia and deposed Pol Pot, partly because Pol Pot was killing ethnic Vietnamese people who lived in Cambodia.

    And throughout the whole thing, America condemned Vietnam. America accused Vietnam of being expansionist. America was on Cambodia’s side.

    Just a thought.

      Couldn’t find anything good to say about Russia that wasn’t a joke line?

          I’m not the one who tried to change the subject.

        I’m saying the Russia/Ukraine situation seems very analogous to the Vietnam/Cambodia situation.

              And who was president of Ukraine while that was happening? Viktor Yanukovich, pro-Russian stooge and convicted traitor.

              Now, why would a pro-Russian Ukrainian be giving Russia cover to invade Ukraine? I’m sure we’ll never know, but maybe there are some falsehoods we can flag and eliminate from consideration.

                No, it was Petro Poroschenko, the pro-European billionaire installed as president by an American-backed coup.

                  Russia invaded the Donbas in April 2014. Poroshenko didn’t become president until June.

                  Jesus, you all don’t even know your own history.

          I agree we need Ukraine to stop Putin.
