There is a masturbatory aspect to apologizing for Russia.

As to your clam Russia in the 80s brought processes for Intel. Companies like Intel never sell directly to customers, you buy from third party distributors.
More lkey Russia set up dummy companies and got the parts from European distributes. A common way to get around export restrictions.
You either made it up or someone tlod you to say Russia got processors from Intel.
You said America appears to be a democracy but is not.
The terms communism,socialism, and democracy mean different things to different people.
We had a communist on our city council who was reelected for years and did not run in the last election. She said she wants to tear down our system and replace it with 'true democracy' without any specifics.
By democracy do you mean a communist state where 'the people' decide all things?
What do you mean by democracy?
Politically we have a constitutional democratic republic. Our economic system is based on free market capitalism with minimal control by government. Private ownership. In the end the people determine what and how much gets produced by how they choose to spend their money. Supply and demand.
The opposite of Soviet and Chinese communism, both of which failed.
Barbos, what is it exactly that you are defending here on the forum? You defend Putin who uis a dictator.
How does Putin fit in with your vision of democracy? Maybe you have to watch what you say on social media lest the goverment comes after you....is that why yiou kiss Putin's butt on the forum?

Video of Russians surrendering. Wonder if they’ll join Ukraine and fight against Putin.

Well, if Russia withdraws from stolen Ukranian land. I for one would recommend that we authorize the mighty Leopard Lodge No 462 from Milwaukie to help defend Russian borders from the Ukranian meanies. I hear that the Grand Poopah has a soft spot for vodka. I doubt that Ukrainians would want to cross with the grand poopah. Even the Foonze was scared of the grand poopha.

Not a great analogy, the Doolittle Raid in WWII bombing Tokyo comes to mind.

I’m hoping it will similar to the Tet offensive. A battle that shows the larger country that the defenders aren’t going away.

I think I found two videos that explain quite well different reasons why UA went over the Russian border:
0:00 A "What the heck" moment
1:14 More than a raid
3:27 Why are they doing it?
4:58 A diversion and denying Russia a break
5:49 Moving the war into Russia
6:55 Limitations of U.S. escalation management
7:39 Putin's conscription dilemma

Why are we talking about this?

Yes, but that's very recent development.
You do realize that by attacking Putin you confirm everything what Russian side says?

Are you suggesting the purpose of this ukrainian raid into pre 2014 Russia was to get some food and ammunition?
Harry Bosch

Ukraine invaded into Russia. Here's a thought: perhaps if your side didn't invade Ukraine; then they wouldn't invade your side??? But I'm just spitballing here.
barbos

Here is a better thought, perhaps if your side had not invaded Ukraine, Russia would not have invaded it either.
Yeah, and my point predictably went over your head.

LOL
When the US/Britain/France and Russia attacked Germany at the end of WWII Hitler was very angry and thought that it was against all international laws. Laws that he respected so much - as much as Putler today.
It's so nice that barbos is back - he is such a nice guy, gives many new angles to write about.

After all these posts, I still can't figure out if you are say that metaphorically; or if you really believe that the US invaded Ukraine?!

Doesn’t matter. It’s what he has to say, whether or not he believes one word of the bullshit he spews.

I think it's just evidence of Stockholm Syndrome. Barbos has never been a free person and neither has Putin.
