==Euromaidan Press==
Have you [https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User:Conservative/International_relations/world_news_and_other_information&curid=186432&diff=2101154&oldid=2100807 bothered to research] [[Conservapedia]]'s entry on [[Euromaidanpress]]?
This is insane. You collect the names of [https://www.conservapedia.com/index.php?title=User%3AConservative%2FInternational_relations%2Fworld_news_and_other_information&diff=2106253&oldid=2105224 academics and researchers I use as sources], then take out of context quotes like [[Mearsheimer]] saying "Russia is a declining power" and [[spam]] it as justification for [[war]] against [[Russia]]. I will contact the owner of the website if you persist in this [[trolling]]. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|''The Truth. Just Putin It Out There'']]</sup> 13:58, February 2, 2025 (EST)
Are you going to purge all the [[USAID]]-funded [[crap]] from this page, or continue attacking the [[conservative movement]] and [[Trump]] agenda?
If the page was purged properly, my guess is it would be about 1/3 the current size. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]</sup> 23:21, February 5, 2025 (EST)
:Use the whole quote. In 2014, the international relations scholar [[John Mearsheimer]] wrote: "Russia is a declining power, and it will only get weaker with time."[https://www.foreignaffairs.com/articles/russia-fsu/2014-08-18/why-ukraine-crisis-west-s-fault]
:It is not humanly possible to take such an emphatic quote out of context. Deny this and lose all credibility. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 21:18, February 15, 2025 (EST)
::So what? [[France]] has been a declining power since 1812, and they're still around. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]</sup> 21:51, February 15, 2025 (EST)
:::At least in my estimation, you didn't support your claim that I used the quote out of context nor did you support your claim that I want Ukraine/West to be at war with Russia. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 22:13, February 15, 2025 (EST)
::::In my estimation, you are hardly a student of [[John Mearsheimer]] and [[international relations]]. And that was obvious when you first cited Mearsheimer's ''Death of liberalism'' video and you didn't understand what liberalism in the international sense means versus American domestic liberalism, which he wasn't talking about, at all. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]</sup> 23:00, February 15, 2025 (EST)
::::As Jesus said, ''Ask, and ye shall receive.'' But you choose the path of [[deliberate ignorance]]. You're too wrapped up in your [[narcissistic]] [[ego]] and lifted up in [[pride]] to ask for help in understanding. This is evidenced by the way you treat visitors to your user page who offer help. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]</sup> 23:06, February 15, 2025 (EST)
==Russia news==
I can see you clinging to [[BBC]], [[Reuters]], [[NYT]], et al for a while. But you were informed years ago that
*The Moscow Times
*The [[Kyiv Independent]]
with all the attendant necessary sourcing were [[deep state]] [[propaganda]] [[front]]s. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]</sup> 19:56, February 10, 2025 (EST)
[[User:Conservative]]: If you had read [[The Gulag Archipelago]] as you claim, you would have a rudimentary understanding of the Russia-Ukraine relationship, which [https://www.conservapedia.com/User:Conservative/International_relations/World_news_and_other_information#Russia_News obviously you don't]. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]</sup> 13:52, February 14, 2025 (EST)
:Do I "cling" to these news publications? You are definitely not supporting this claim of yours. Given that I wrote these two essays [[Essay: Don't believe all the political news "facts" and predictions you read on the internet and see on the news|Don't believe all the political news "facts" and predictions you read on the internet and see on the news]] and [[Essay: Why I prefer to get my news from a wide variety of sources|Why I prefer to get my news from a wide variety of sources]], your claim is going to be very hard to support.
:Also, did I claim to read the book [[The Gulag Archipelago]] or did I merely claim to read a portion of the book? And given that you are not a mind reader, your opinion on how much I understand the Russia-Ukraine conflict isn't very relevant. This is especially true given that [https://www.conservapedia.com/Essay:_How_long_will_the_war_in_Ukraine_last_and_what_will_its_likely_outcomes_will_be%3F_A_prediction_on_its_outcomes I predicted that the Russia-Ukraine conflict will turn into a frozen conflict] (much earlier than what typical wars last) and that appears to be what is going to happen and [https://www.conservapedia.com/Talk:Essay:_How_long_will_the_war_in_Ukraine_last_and_what_will_its_likely_outcomes_will_be%3F_A_prediction_on_its_outcomes you took a very different view] that was quite pro-Russia and was very maximalist in terms of a Russian victory. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 22:39, February 15, 2025 (EST)
::You published the lies - it is your responsibility to clean em up. Either delete wholesale or revisit and rewrite.
::It's not fair to other editors for the disrepute & lies you brought upon [[Conservapedia]] with your [[spamming]]. And you wonder why Conservapedia has trouble attracting editors? [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]</sup> 23:14, February 15, 2025 (EST)
:Neither Putin nor Trump want a "frozen conflict". "Frozen conflict" is [[deep state]] rhetoric cause they don't want to admit [[NATO]] lost. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]</sup> 23:23, February 15, 2025 (EST)
:::You are still not supporting your claims concerning me. And given Russia's current economy, labor shortages, and other factors, the fact remains that my forecast concerning the war in Ukraine has a far greater probability of happening than your maximalist, pro-Russia forecast. Frozen conflict well within 10 years is probably going to be the net result - just like I predicted!
:::[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FIfJNK2rLlQ Mearsheimer also predicted that a frozen conflict is the most likely end result of the war in Ukraine with some possible flarups in the future], but he was more pessimistic concerning the timeframe of it happening than I was. The only difference is that I predicted a frozen conflict would happen relatively soon in terms of the average of how long modern wars last and much sooner than the 10 years that modern wars last. And it looks like Putin and the Trump Administration will hammer something out in 2025 in terms of an armistice or peace deal (But I also said that there could be flareups in the future). So it looks like I will soon have three words concerning my forecast of the war in Ukraine: Olé! Olé! Olé! [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 23:37, February 15, 2025 (EST)
:::::Okay smarty. What's the difference between an armistice and a "peace deal"? [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]</sup> 23:56, February 15, 2025 (EST)
::::::1 day and no response.
::::::It is obvious you pay no attention to what is being said.
::::::Trump said once the war is over, he wants nuclear arms redactions with the US, Russia & China, and defense spending cut in half. Now, Mr. Big Brain, how is that possible in a "frozen conflict? [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]</sup> 20:51, February 16, 2025 (EST)
::::I don't need to support my claims - your [[crap]] stands by itself, being discredited and a disgrace to the [[American]] [[conservative movement]], [[Conservapedia]], and [[Donald Trump]].
::::Now Trump is working hand in hand to reshape peace in our time and for future generations with the corrupt kleptocrat and war criminal [[Vladimir Putin]]. Good luck with that.
::::Can you imagine? Trump invited the corrupt kleptocrat and war criminal Vladimir Putin to Washington. This will make a fine exhibit in the Trump Presidential Library as part of his enduring legacy. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]</sup> 23:47, February 15, 2025 (EST)
::::Just imagine, FDR & Truman hung war criminals, but Trump made em the guest of honor at a State Dinner. Such is the history you wrote about Trump's legacy. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]</sup> 23:52, February 15, 2025 (EST)
Trump is willing to meet with most anyone if it advances America's interest. His meeting with anti-Christian Kim Jung Un is an example of that. He also met with the lightweight Justin Trudeau in November of 2024. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 23:59, February 15, 2025 (EST)
:And everyone has to support their claims if they want people who are not gullible to believe them. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 00:00, February 16, 2025 (EST)
:::Look up the word gullible in the dictionary. It's got your picture right beside it. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]</sup> 00:07, February 16, 2025 (EST)
:::The [[Deep State]] & [[USAID]], not to mention the [[2016 Hillary Clinton campaign]], have been playing you like a cheap fiddle for a long time. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]</sup> 00:09, February 16, 2025 (EST)
::Also, FDR met with the militant atheist Stalin who was responsible for killing many of his fellow citizens via purges and responsible for the widespread persecution of Christians in the USSR. Presidents will meet with horrendous people if they believe the national interest requires it. [[User:Conservative|Conservative]] ([[User talk:Conservative|talk]]) 00:04, February 16, 2025 (EST)
:::Thank you. Now we know where you stand. Trump will claim it's a victory and integral part of his legacy. You stand with the [[NeverTrump]]ers and critics who say it's something to condemn. [[User:RobSmith|RobS]]<sup>[[User talk:RobSmith|I don’t really care, Margaret]]</sup> 00:13, February 16, 2025 (EST)
::::(Incidentally, it was Stalin at [[Yalta]] who got [[FDR]] to recognize Ukraine & [[Belarus]] independence by granting them full membership in the [[United Nations]], which [[conservative]]s harshly condemned. I see you have come around to the FDR/Stalin, liberal Democrat/Soviet communist position now).
