Russian invasion of Ukraine imminent, BBC reports

[minutemenX]

These are the exact arguments Putin has made for invading Ukraine in the first place- and "reuniting" it with "Greater Russia"

These are not arguments but simple facts. Anybody who knows the region can confirm it. Though I do not see the logic how it justifies the invasion. Can you ethnically separate Canadians from Americans? There are also truly little differences in English. So, by the same logic is it perfectly fine for US to invade Canada if they disagree with some Canadian policy? It is quite opposite for civilized countries. Similarity provides an additional barrier to hostilities.

The closest analogy with our North American experience is the Revolutionary War. The former Russian region/colony (Ukraine) was reluctantly granted independence in 1991 because Moscow had no means to keep it. After about thirty years the Metropolis (Moscow) changed its mind and has decided to get it back. In fact, it is a delayed war for Independence and as in the American case it will be marking the true birth of independent Ukrainian state.

What's going to happen to those deported Ukrainians once they get to Russia? What are their prospects?

They weren`t deported. They were abducted.
Russia needs to replenish its population after the losses on the battlefield.

Over the last month, Russian forces have assaulted the people of Ukraine. In addition to news of attacks on civilians and families displaced, there are now initial reports that Russian forces have committed sexual violence.

This month, Ukrainian Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba claimed that Russian soldiers had committed “numerous” rapes against Ukrainian women. Last week, Ukrainian MPs charged that Russian forces were targeting women and girls specifically and that elderly women had been raped.

Russian armed forces have recently perpetrated sexual violence in other conflicts.

I am just telling you what Putin's justification was to invade. No more nor less. These were his arguments, not mine.

Yes they were abducted and the only repopulation will be in Siberian labour camps or cemeteries. This is Putin’s way of integrating new immigrants.

Sharkman had posted this originally and stated they were deported. I had merely parroted Sharkman's report.

Dude, I made so such mention!!! Get your facts straight!

 

[EagerBeaver]

Sorry you had not posted this someone else did but this is the report that said they were deported- and haggling over terms is silly because it is a correct description of what was done.
