Makes sense, Putins massive conference table has quite the time delay between ends.

Probably took them half an hour just to get to their seats!
We already tried peace with letting Russia take Crimea, that didn't end jack ****.

My god can you try and disguise your hatred of Biden a bit? You would happily through Ukraine under the bus for "peace". Of course it would be a short peace as Putin would have learnt the West is weak and he can take what he wants while Ukraine would be no more.

I must have missed the memo when it was the US invading Ukraine...
Crimea belonged to Russia, then the USSR, since 1783. Why would "we" (??) let them take Crimea, what business is that of ours?

If it were simply a case of occasionally expressing a "controversial" opinion in a thread to which it had some relevance, then I suppose not. When it's repeated, deliberate and calculated baiting, often completely off-topic and with no purpose other than to provoke, antagonise and offend (god knows it's easy enough to spot) then yes, I would prefer you take some sort of action, at least to rein him in if not an outright ban. For reasons best known to yourselves, you've clearly decided not to do so. So be it.
And yes, frankly, to answer his earlier dig I may indeed be "embittered" to some extent although not I hope to the point where it affects my rationality. When some self-declared racist is given free licence to keep endlessly vomiting up his "differing" opinion that my wife and kids are somehow lesser human beings who don't belong in this country, based on nothing other than their ethnicity, you're damn right I'm going to take it personally.
Most risible of all is that some people here are, with apparently no trace of irony, complaining that the poor racist is being "bullied." Just... what?
Anyway, I've taken the thread further off-topic myself, so apologies for that at least. At least we have the ignore button, as I suggested previously.

Crimea has never belonged to Russia. When Russia came in to existence it belonged to Ukraine.

Didn't Crimea belong to the Ottomans at some point?
YouTube documentary from a guy with a PhD in nursing?
I don't hate Biden, he's just doing his part for the share holders of Raytheon and Lockheed Martin
As opposed to listening to Matt Hancock deliberately scare people? Yes.

That would be the Ottomans, I don't think Turkey ls laying claim to it though. What I would say is that Russia pretty much has very strong historical links to Crimea, it's hardly some great surprise they occupied Crimea considering the historical ties and strategic importance, it isn't like it belonged to Ukraine for 200 years and the Russians came and kicked them out.

You think Russia want to end this war? How do you think that outcome looks?

Genociding the original inhabitants is not 'historical links'.

Trouble is how far you go back with claims for territory?
