Let me give you an example,

what is your stance on US invasion on Syria and not recognize otherwise internationally recognized ruler of the country, while at the same time supporting ISIS backed rebels?

If you dissociate from it, I'll eat my words.

Please, don't request any links :D

Aug. 21, 2013: Hundreds of people suffocate in rebel-held suburbs of the Syrian capital. U.N. investigators visit the sites and determine that ground-to-ground missiles loaded with sarin were fired on civilian areas while residents slept. The U.S. and others blame the Syrian government.

what is your stance on that? and i'll be glad to provide further links if one of the most trusted news services in the world isn't enough for you

That aged well.
yep, I put it out there as clearly as I could. I formed my belief based upon a false assumption.

It's how I learn. Hypothesis, test, analyze, form new hypothesis

Repeat

Drives the people around me crazy though.

This was a safe place to test my understanding of humanity. I've known about this blind side of mine for a long time.

The null hypothesis was that Putin would not invade Ukraine. My reason for this is Ukraine wasn't/isn't worth the cost.

So, let me ask you and anyone who reads this. Is that assumption wrong too?

you forgot to include the observe part. you should observe before you hypothesize.

There's a bit of truth here, imagine Trump won, he's good with Putin, he would've ignored Ukraine efforts to come closer to NATO and Russia wouldn't have a reason for attack
There isn't a word of truth in what that idiot uttered.
Good with Putin?
The USA didn't need him to be good with Putin, they needed him to stop Putin.
He didn't/he failed
Instead of pressuring Putin, he did fucking NOTHING!!!!
And you're saying that the reason Russia invaded/attacked Ukraine was because they felt threated by NATO?
How the fuck do you come up with that conclusion.
Oh, that's right Putin said it, so it must be true.
You're getting tedious.

I'm highly sceptical about any media, I tend not to trust any, AP, RT, BBC, AJ...
But I've been to Syria shortly before the war, and twice to Lebanon (during the war). General consensus there that majority of population privately supported Assad. Boy did the people there live in abundance and piece! The war changed that. I've also been to Iran twice during the youth protests, and it's completely different story there. People are generally ready for overthrowing Khamenei and transition to democracy

Exactly, Putin's reasoning is that he must stop Ukraine from getting close to NATO by all means

on the surface i think you made a valid assumption, based on the available facts and history of putin, and the area.
i think putin has some kind of plan that we in the west aren't aware of. it's the only thing that justifies his seemingly insane behavior.
this will extend his troops as far as they can be extended. he won't have the man power to both hold the area against the surely coming attacks from rebel forces, and engage in any kind of large scale offensive OR defensive actions...
this all makes me think he has an ally we aren't aware of...and the only candidate that fits that bill is Xi Jinping.
Ukraine has a lot of resources sitting under it, and russia and china both wouldn't mind getting their hands on all of it they can, and really, who else does russia have left to trade with? are they going to trade lng for crude oil with arabia?

You can attack a Sovereign country; you can't change its borders though..everyone in geo-political knows this.
