@@pmakins95 The actions of Israel and Saudi-Arabia when it comes to human rights are indefensable. However, if they are compared by the actions of the Serb-dominated Yugoslav government of the late 80s and beyond and the actions of their allies it is minor. Apartheid and brutal war tactics are not in any way comparable to genocide. The evil of the Serb perpetrated ethnic cleansing and genocide during the Yugoslav wars has very much been downplayed since the events took place. While the other sides were far from saints in this regard, Serbia did this on another level. To the point that they allowed an ally to attack a UN safeheaven. The war in Bosnia had traumatised the west with its brutality. So when a similar situation arose in Kosovo, there was an immediate response with nothing held back.

There is absolutely no threat of Serbia ever bringing military to Kosovo unless with an international consensus, so why do they still have the largest base there?

[@Scaleyback317]

I believe Ukraine would not be eligible under current entry rules as it is involved in a border dispute - I'm sure somebody on here will correct that if I'm wrong. Membership of the EU is a completely diffetrent and separate matter. Russia is to blame simply because it has invaded Ukraine twice this century. Perhaps if we had tackled Russia the first time there would not be this horrible problem today. Russia has to return to its pre 2014 border and pay for rebuilding what it has destroyed. Maybe then Ukraine will agree to peace discussions.

[@Scaleyback317]

Maybe because Russia agreed to where those borders would be and Putrid then decided to change it.

[@sqrone1]

Because the mainstream Western public opinion in the media has portrayed Russia as a dragon that destroys everything, Russia cannot negotiate. But in fact Russia can negotiate, as long as Russia's security borders are respected, the problem will not escalate to this level. According to politically correct theory, Ukraine has the right to decide whether to join any military organization, no matter how much Ukraine's decision threatens Russia's geo-security. But considering the age-old realist politics of the nineteenth century, Russia must defend and respond to visible threats. Russia will never be castrated in silence. In fact, this is the subtext of the Chinese ambassador, and both sides take a step back. Respect each other's core interests and don't try to change the boundaries of influence. It's not politically correct, but it must be done if one wants to be responsible for peace. Unfortunately, due to the promotion of various forces, value diplomacy is now the mainstream in Europe. All European politicians have to struggle to survive in this wave of ideas and make decisions that go against objective rationality

Admiral, NATO is NO LONGER a defensive alliance. You negate your defensive objectives when you actively pursue neutral nations to join your side (admitted by George Robertson, the 10th Secretary General of NATO) and once those buffer zones are dismantled you are deemed to have crept all the way to your declared enemy’s doorstep. That’s considered offensive dear Admiral. And you said it’s not NATO that made decisions but the member states. Well, France and Germany and many others rejected NATO’s invasion of Iraq but NATO through US lead, went in anyway.

[@zwcdamien]

Ludicrous. You obviously don’t know the difference between offensive and defensive. In terms of military alliances and war, offensive means that you directly engage in a war. Defensive means that you don’t. It has nothing to do with finding new members, which by the way you are wrong about. NATOs new members have actively pursued a membership, not the other way around. Poland, the Baltic states, Bulgaria, Romania, all of them engaged and heavily invested to join the NATO alliance - as well as Finland and Sweden. What drove them to join the alliance? Russia’s total disregard of their neighbours and the constant bullying they were subjected to. Not to mention the 100 years of total brutalisation of its people by the Russian empire and then the Soviet.

[@zwcdamien]

NATO wasn’t in Iraq idiot. Members of NATO joined to war in Iraq but that doesn’t mean it was an operation conducted by NATO. Non-NATO members was also involved in the war of Iraq: for example the Kurds, Iraqis themselves, and countries from the Arab League.

[@nocturnalowl5867]

@@zwcdamien oh, I don’t? So aspiring to be at their declared enemy’s doorstep in terms of military alliance is defensive? So you dismantle the buffer zones to rub shoulders with your declared enemy? Do use some logic ya. And the American ambassador to the USSR Jack Matlock too has written on how the US was romancing those nations to join, to take sides. By right, once the Warsaw Pact was dissolved NATO should cease to exist. Joe Biden and his gang were talking up a storm in congress to entice those Eastern Europe countries into NATO to sustain its relevance back in 1997. How did Russia totally disregard her neighbours? Did she not reluctantly build Nord Stream 2 after Germany convinced her that it won’t be subject to political schemes?? Did Russia not make Europeans rich by supplying cheap energy and raw materials?

[@zwcdamien]

@@nocturnalowl5867 there hasn’t been a declared enemy except for in the head of Putin. And he has only managed to worsen this relationship by invading his neighbouring country - one that shares so much history and family ties, it’s despicable. If he’s ready to butcher, rape and torment his Slavic brothers and sister, there’s no telling what he might be capable of. I’m sorry but buffer zones has no place in the modern world. Again, you’re stuck in the Cold War mentality. Russia reluctance to dissolve its empire during the dissolution of the Soviet Union and its imperialistic ambition is what’s at fault here. It couldn’t manage her fall from grace as the empires of Austria-Hungary, Germany, the Ottomans, and later the French and British did. Its resentment is the issue here, and the denial to face reality. Instead of becoming a normal and thriving western/European nation, Russia has lingered on to the past of its glory days. And don’t act like Russia out of humble kindness supplied Europeans with energy has she herself didn’t gain anything of it. It’s been a cooperation. One that Europeans hoped would be constructive and peaceful. Now they’re screaming and begging after advanced western technology and microchips.

[@nocturnalowl5867]

@@zwcdamien Hmm, so I guess the American politicians have been lying then to congress about Russia being their declared enemy back in 1997 and thereafter? Cold War mindset? Well, you should advise your governments in the west to give up on their dreams of owning Russia. And I never said Russia supplied gas out of kindness, did I? I used that to counter your claims that Russia was antagonistic towards her neighbours. Improving trade is a form of diplomatic relations.

But considering the age-old realist politics of the nineteenth century, Russia must defend and respond to visible threats. Russia will never be castrated in silence. In fact, this is the subtext of the Chinese ambassador, and both sides take a step back. Respect each other's core interests and don't try to change the boundaries of influence. It's not politically correct, but it must be done if one wants to be responsible for peace. Unfortunately, due to the promotion of various forces, value diplomacy is now the mainstream in Europe. All European politicians have to struggle to survive in this wave of ideas and make decisions that go against objective rationality

[@jademoon1530]

That's exactly the point. You know the "root cause", everyone knows the "root cause", so why are you Europeans pretending that there is no "root cause"? Wars do not start overnight. There are lots of "root causes", actions, factors, etc. leading to the start of a war.

@@jademoon1530 Yep the root cause was about 400/500 years ago when the Russian administration of the time thought it could invade and do whatever it wanted with what is now Ukraine. They've been murdering Ukrainians, trying to destroy their heritage and language and people ever since. No surprise to me the Ukrainians have finally said enough is enough we'll fight you.

[@d74rjm]

There was never a state called Ukraine! Neither independent nor subordinate. The name O-Kraina meant the region on the edge of Poland or Russia. During the First World War, the Austro-Hungarian authorities formed the Ukrainian (Galician) Legion (the notions of "Ukrainian" and "Ukrainian" appear for the first time at the initiative of Count Stadion - the head of the Austro-Hungarian secret services ), alongside by the Polish Legions, to fight against the Russian Empire. These legions formed the basis of the interwar Polish army and the Ukrainian Galician army that fought against the Bolsheviks in the immediate aftermath of World War I (1919-23).
