Here's a line that instantly disqualifies one from rational adult conversations about anything to do with Eastern Europe.

Why? So you are refusing to look at an information source with real quotes by the leaders involved if it isn't from one of your CIA-staffed western big-name news sources?

Hm, maybe i am not the one who is disqualified here.

I'll take non-CIA-staffed eastern small-name source too, as long as it's not literally the official propaganda agency of the regime that's in the middle of planning the fucking invasion being discussed. I don't think that's a very high bar, personally.

Ya, so... you have a choice between the official propaganda agency of the US (the so-called "free press" all marching in lockstep), or the propaganda of the person responding to a completely made-up "imminent" invasion. The second propaganda source is in agreement with the person who is literally the president of the nation whose "imminent invasion" is in question.

There is no imminent invasion, only a deliberately provoked one.

And they didn't invade Crimea. Or Georgia. ... right.

Why tankies insist on defending a homophobic, right-wing dictatorship in Russia is just beyond me.
