Well written crap, like January 6 you failed to recognize that we have seen the Ukraine invasion in real time. Doesn't require to see a winner to know Russia is the lower with the expansion of NATO borders with Russia by thise countries knowledge of risks to their freedom.
1. Please feel free to specify any particular piece of crap so we can set to work fixing it based on your feedback. As it stands, your critique is so brief and generalised as to be of little value as constructive feedback.
2. What are the similarities between the Ukraine War and its precedent or periphery events, and January 6th?
3. January 6th was suspected to have been and then known to have been an event that has been utterly propagandised, fomented and subverted by state organs, to the point that convictions around it are provably political. 40,000 hours of Jan 6th footage was accessed by Tucker Carlson's team and just the small amount of footage he aired grossly contradicted the official narrative. What is now known and even admitted by the state is that there were multiple federal and police undercover agent provocateurs who committed criminal acts including criminal damage and incitement. Ray Epps was placed on then removed from the FBI's most wanted list, was not investigated until massive public exposure forced the hand of the FBI. He admitted his involvement and action to start something on text messages, and is on large amounts of footage inciting the crowd to enter the Capitol, even when the crowd rejects him and calls him out as a Fed. Interior footage does not support the idea that there was an insurrection (see Jacob Chansley's conviction vs footage of his behaviour and the help he was given by Capitol police). The failure of any agent to achieve a political outcome inline with the concept of insurrection also raises questions of the appropriate use of the term. These are just some of the obvious issues surrounding Jan 6th. Another is the admission of an FBI agent of actively withholding exculpatory evidence from trial. Why did the Jan 6th Commission illegally destroy its own records?
4. The expansion of NATO post invasion is a variable that Russia simply has to deal with. It is clear that its opening strategy of a fast moving overwhelm to secure an agreement of neutrality nearly worked until UK/US blocked it and since then deliberate political strategies and narratives have been undertaken to use the war to justify greater NATO expansion at as fast a rate as possible, of nations that are superficially wealthy & solvent. The evidence of duplicity of the NATO expansion strategy just mentioned is in the fact that Ukraine was never and will never be admitted to NATO because it is a sociopolitical and financial "basket case", far worse now. The entire high level Russian strategy was known 10 years ago and expressed by Mearsheimer & Cohen - if Ukraine will not voluntarily remain neutral, it will be militarily and economically wrecked to make it impossible for NATO and the EU to absorb it. That is what Russia has now achieved. Under those conditions, NATO expansion to Finland and potentially Sweden is a separate issue to the Ukraine war and Ukraine's neutrality. Russia's continued military build up and war economy footing is a tool to address other NATO expansion in addition to supplying the war in Ukraine. Russia built a combined arms force of circa 70k for its Western Finnish border last year, and no doubt the nuclear deployment to Belarus is a tool to counter NATO expansion that is almost guaranteed to see the deployment of US nukes into one or both nations. The conditions that Russia invaded under and the frame of objectives it pursued then changed the moment it acted - no plan survives first contact. To look back in hindsight and say "Russia failed because SW & FI are in NATO now" isn't valid. Failure in the great game doesn't occur in one moment on the continuum. Hands are played, events occur, everyone adapts and plays their next hand ad infinitum. The USSR failed. Yeltsin failed. And yet Russia returned and still stands, now overtaking Germany economically and likely moving from #2 to #1 warfighting/military nation on the planet that is now successfully waging war on its terms for its objectives against 40+ nations, using every form of warfare including political constraint and lock. That takes serious combined political and military skill.
5. Russia clearly and continuously stated it is not interested in invading other nations and the land it has occupied was and still is affected by specific circumstances that are not present in any other bordering European nation (Russian/slavic citizens under oppressive rule and violence, expressing wish to separate etc, sponsored Nazi uprising, Western sponsored coup etc). Claims that Putin said he wants to literally rebuild the USSR are false - the "quote" is always incomplete and deliberately misrepresented. VST challenges you to find the paragraph of that speech, paste it here by reply and then state how it expresses a desire to rebuild the USSR empire or expand a Russian empire. The idea that other European nations' freedom is under threat because Russia intends to arbitrarily invade all of them is bullshit. This is demonstrable simply by the dynamics of the Ukraine war. Russia's presence in the bits of Ukraine it occupies represent the most welcome an invading force could ever be by the people who live there. Under those conditions, Russia has its work cut out to achieve its objectives without absolutely annihilating everything and everyone á la the USA and its allies in every war it started since 1948 (see Iraq civilian casualties vs Ukraine casualties). Therefore, why on earth would Russia want to invade any other nation where its presence is literally unwanted? It would be simply wasting lives, resources and the will of its people and its allies to wage the kinds of invasive wars the USA has done in its pursuit of the neocon doctrine. As VST has spelled out before, we believe the only way the Ukraine war expands outside of the present boundaries is if another European nation or the US overtly enters the war from other borders. Russia's ongoing strike limitations shows you that it is not looking to give other nations overt reasons to enter the war. Ukraine, on the other hand, is desperate to trigger full NATO entry and has tried multiple times using false flag tactics (false missile in Poland claims, ZNPP false claims, Romania missile false claims, dirty bomb false claims etc).
Thank you for taking the time and effort to write such an comprehensive, interesting, informative and courteous response to Mr. Warburton’s rude comment.

I suspect William has exhausted what little value he may have to offer. I shan’t be holding my breath waiting for any elucidations.

All part of the service.
We're happy to deal directly with criticisms that have credible basis in fact and evidence.
We're also happy for people to freely express their opinion. When that includes "this is crap", we reserve the right to ask why.
We also reserve the right to fill a gaping void of silence with some form of implicit or explicit judgment, once the gauntlet has been thrown down.
