Europe can afford to be completely defenseless against the Soviet Union 2.0, because a Soviet Union 2.0 does not exist. You do not have to defend yourself from imaginary threats. There will also never be a Soviet Union 2.0. Time only moves forward and can not be turned back. The Soviet Union is gone now, and it will always be gone.

Much like Russian troops in the Ukraine. (Never mind they're still wearing their unit insignias for some reason, or driving our their brand spanking new Russian tanks that their commanders allowed them to drive away 'on vacation' in total defiance of regulations.)
Edit: Putin is now demanding that the Ukraine order it's troops in Debaltseve to surrender to the Rebels and withdraw.

Being as they're surrounded, that's not a bad idea. And let the ceasefire begin.

The ceasefire was already in effect, the rebels broke it because they wanted to retake Debaltseve.

Minor detail, under the terms of the cease fire, the rebels are technically supposed to withdraw from that area (IIRC) it being on the 'Ukraine' side of the line under the ceasefire. Rather than, you know, continue to surround and attack it. They've also supposedly attacked 130 other locations off and on since the beginning of the cease fire.
FYI: continuing to attack is not a 'cease fire'.

The ceasefire hasn't really taken effect, because nobody's stopped firing.

No, I’m agreeing with Malus on the fact that Mr. Putin desires to erect a new Soviet Union.
Also, will you please stop with the petty personal attacks? I’m so sick and tired of them.

I'm pretty sure Putin has made it a known secret that the Soviet Union collapsing was a complete tragedy in his eyes. He wants it back and the majority of the "Russian Racial Minorities" in the rest of the Eastern Bloc are his to rescue from their other Slavic overlords. His tactics and purpose isn't all that different than the Anschluss, Sudetenland Occupation the eventual Czech annexation and Memelland Annexation by the Germans prior to WWII, just a different part of Europe. Sham elections, thuggery, threats of invasion, open and armed rebellion by "oppressed racial minorities" and a host of other hallmarks are all too obvious for those with eyes.
There's even a border strife much like the Selisian Uprisings of 1919-1921 based on racial and ethnic ties.

Under the terms of the ceasefire rebels and Ukrainian army don't have to withdraw all forces, just heavy machinery (as I understand tanks and artillery). So even if they would - Ukrainian forces in Debaltsevo will continue to be surrounded and will try to get out. Also as DPR will try to prevent them. In Minsk Putin offered to discuss Debaltsevo situation, but Poroshenko says hat everything is good and there are no some thousand encircled warriors. And how encircled forces at Debaltsevo should withdraw heavy machinery from encircled Debaltsevo? From the first minute after signing this ceasefire it was clear that it will not work there.
By the way, you sad about 130 cases of violation from DPR, don't you wonna say about violations from Ukrainian forces too?
I'm really sorry about my bad English, I tried to avoid this topic, but it was too hard.
Well, you haven’t really disagreed with anything I’ve said so far. It’s more like you disagreed with some imaginary opinion no one here on this site made.
Where did I contradict myself? Please point it out to me.

Both sides were to withdraw heavy weapons in a buffer zone around the front, which neither has done. The part that made it work there was the clause that says both sides will withdraw to their Sept 2014 positions. So far, pretty much no one has paid attention to that one. Supposedly the rebels offered a withdrawal corridor, but then promptly captured the government forces that tried to use it.
Well, you haven’t really disagreed with anything I’ve said so far. It’s more like you disagreed with some imaginary opinion no one here on this site made.
So… let me get this straight. I agree with Malus that Putin clearly wishes for a new Soviet Union and according to you, that statement somehow contradicts with what I said about me not considering the CURRENT Russia to be a threat comparable to that of the FORMER Soviet Union? You’re really reaching far here shadow captain.
Do yourself a favor and stop this little one-man crusade you have going on here. Things are starting to get really embarrassing with you.
