Even just reading a bit about the Avdiivka Coke Plant makes you see this started off in 2014

Something else not often remembered by those who weren't following the topic at the time, is that the "separatists" actually managed to captured the Ukrainian city of Artemivsk in 2014. It was liberated by Ukranian forces later in 2014, and in 2016 it was renamed "Bakhmut".
That's why Russia was so obsessively focused on taking Bakhmut, because it was the only notable city captured by the "separatists" prior to the invasion and for them had something of a "we have to get this back at any cost to prove we're winning" factor.

There are some unbelievably stupid Republicans around at the moment. These people are beyond crazy. Course, they will never find themselves on the front line, so what do they care?

Just watched it. Man that is a tough watch
**** Putin and anyone who enables him or tries to both sides this. I hope he gets his one day and I hope its slow and very very painful 
No you said
"I can't think of a single Australian Prime Minister who's given an order for someone to be killed."
Which is a clear and obvious lie because they ordered many deaths.
Or again where those 26,000 soldiers there on a jolly and not killing anyone?

I'm just dipping back into the thread, but hasn't it already been clearly established that the specific question and relevant point was about leaders ordering the deaths of their domestic political opponents? Did anyone say that the challenge was to name a leader who hasn't ever authorised military action of any sort?
You'd think that but I said
"So say "no Australian pm has had a political rival assasinated" less dramatic sure but its actually accurate."
Which he disagreed with and said it again as a blanket statement so no.
Feel free to press the arrow button and see for yourself.

ISW is claiming that for the very first time in this war, Russia was able to provide close air support for ground troop assaults during the last 3 days in Avdiivka, indicating that Russia has achieved air superiority this location, which could be another sign that Ukraine has run out of ammunition

I don't think this has been posted before, but Russia has started using a new Kh-69 cruise missile >> https://newsukraine.rbc.ua/news/russia-starts-using-new-kh-69-cruise-missiles-1708194578.html
Indeed lots of reports of airstrikes hitting, seems to have been a deciding factor for sure.
It's all going to come tumbling down without US aid and the EU ain't plugging the gap either.
But you know, under no circumstances can Russia win......we need to send more motivational quotes from our leaders to Ukraine, that'll help...
Ukraine war: Despite the standing ovations and vows of support, Zelenskyy's Western allies are falling short
Western partners are failing to turn their financial advantage into overwhelming firepower for Ukraine's outgunned troops on the frontline.

Right, but now go back to the video that started the discussion. It was a direct question to Carlson that he didn't talk to Putin about :
"Freedom of speech in Russia, Navalnay, assassinations, restrictions on political opponents in the upcoming elections"
To which Tucker replied about all leaders kill people.
Now, in the context of the question being asked it's obvious the interviewer is asking about targeted assassinations of political opponents but Carlson is trying to paint the false equivalence that all killing is the same, that the obvious smooth brains try a run with as usual.
Unless of course you think say, killing someone in self defense is the same as killing someone on a murder spree.
So when Sankari and others talk about "I can't think of a single Australian Prime Minsiter who's given an order for someone to be killed."
They are using the word 'someone' as a specific person of importance [in the questions context of political assassination] not 'someone' as an unspecified anyone that you are taking the word to mean.
So the interpretation fail is on you. Now for someone like Roar, we know why he does it, but for you, I dunno, I guess it's just down to usual internet pedantry.
No, you're still being dishonest. The operative word is 'someone' (i.e. a specific person) and the context is the assassination of Navalny.
As if your dishonesty wasn't bad enough, you don't even know how war works. It's fascinating.
Have you considered becoming a Trump supporter? You've got all the right qualities.
Yes.
No. Tefal is being dishonest, and doubling down on his dishonesty.
Your regular reminder that Russia spent tens of millions of dollars on a propaganda campaign to support the election of Trump during 2016, and increased her propaganda efforts in the leadup to the 2020 election. The montlhy budget for Project Lakhta alone was $1.25 million per month.
But apparently we're supposed to believe that Putin has never wanted Trump to be POTUS because Trump keeps 'wrecking his plans.'
Repeating three examples where (a) you don't specify a plan that was wrecked, (b) you don't specify how it was wrecked, and (c) the facts of each case don't even support your argument? Seriously?
Again, what plan was wrecked here? None that I can see. It was a single incident, that did nothing to stop anything Russia was doing in Syria, and nothing to make Putin withdraw his troops or his support for Assad.
But it didn't establish that at all. Egypt, the UAE, and India are still buying weapons from both the US and Russia. Nothing has changed. The only reason Trump was able to punish Turkey is because she's a NATO member.
Nobody else has been prevented from buying US weapons while also buying Russian weapons, so Putin's weapons industries' reach has not been affected at all. If anything, he was rewarded because Turkey followed through with the purchase!
Which countries? China, Belarus, Turkey, and India have all purchased them (India was warned not to by the US, but simply said '**** you', and bought them anyway). Saudi Arabia (another US arms client) and Qatar have said they plan to buy them as well.
So which countries are you talking about? List them.
Is Tefal's dishonesty contagious?
Putin didn't twiddle his thumbs, he spent those years digging into Crimea, reinforcing his military presence to the point where Ukraine had no capacity to push his forces out again, and building a giant $3.7 billion bridge between Krasnodar Krai and Crimea. If anyone was twiddling his thumbs, it was Trump, who did absolutely nothing to help Ukraine, and nothing to stop Putin.
How did Trump ruin any plan here? What did he do, and what plan was ruined?
