    Looking a little further, they’re trying to get boots on the ground by taking the Kiev airport.

      Yeah so you were wrong, weren’t you? But let’s keep going. How do you know they took Kiev airport? Or even what their intentions are?

          Really? Again, let’s see where you are getting this from.

          It’s hard to do a lot worse than literally being wrong about an invasion every step of the way in real time.

              My deepest apologies. It was nearing midnight and I needed to go to sleep instead of writing the requested essay.

                If I accused you of murder or sexual assault, you would full well expect me to provide some proof before making that kind of situation. In a time when world tensions were high, you jumped to conclusions and made them higher by exaggerating what happened. I don’t care if you don’t want to write an essay, that’s fine. But you chose to engage in these false claims in the first place, then dipped.

                  Remember when Russian backed separatists shot down that airliner? Their defense was also “prove it”, “show me the evidence”, “the plane shot down itself”. Years later, we can see that this is simply a ploy to distract, distort and delay. These disingenuous tactics have become all too transparent.

              Because they didn’t respond to dozens of comments from you on a minute by minute basis? Get a grip. Nobody owes you that.

                If they didn’t have evidence that I was wrong, they shouldn’t have engaged with me in the first place

                Edit: Hastily saying things like there are boots on the ground in Kiev without evidence is dangerous, warmongering talk. I won’t allow it.

                  Again, you’re delusional if you think anybody owes you minute by minute responses to everything you say. Go for a walk outside.

                    Minute by minute? It’s been over an hour and I’m still waiting for evidence of boots on the ground in Kiev. And if you look at livestreams of Kiev it looks like a normal day, people going about their business.
