If Putin hadn't invaded Ukraine, it would've been a launching ground for an invasion into Russia or forced submission. Trump isn't wielding any more power than Biden who also demanded increased military spending.

NATO was always an imperialist organization made up of colonizer states eager to form a bloc against the spread of "gommunist USSR" which no longer exists. So now it is an entity that functions to serve the imperialists of the western hegemony. This was shown when Ukraine was couped by far-right nationalists with assistance from western intelligence to make a entity right on the edge of Russia's border when it began distancing itself from the West. I'd argue Ukraine becoming a Nazi state was more of the fault here than anything Putin ever did.

Which, weirdly, Ukraine had a lot of support from nato states before in their little nazi adventure?? I wonder what that means.

Was Ukraine really exploring this at the time?

Check the copypasta. Yes, very much so. With explicit U.S support all the way back to the 60s leading up to the violation of the minsk accords and fascist takeover. Classic imperialism.

Okay yeah I can see why you sent the text dump, you were trying to specify that the Americans were planning on pushing some colour revolution bullshit within the region which is what incentivised Putin to take action. Honestly? I did not know about that, which is a bit embarrassing but that does explain it. I do wonder why putin didnt just say america was planning on doing a colour revolution and we need to get involved to stop the inequality. NVm typing it out loud explains why lmfao. Fuck america, but I do believe an unfortunate consequence of this was that NATO got further investment from the fascist vassal states in europe, perhaps this was a gambit dont by the states?

It was indeed and I respect you deeply for recognizing it. This other guy is trying to argue it was a "fringe paramilitary" lmfao. Yeah, the guys who couped Assad were just "fringe paramilitaries".

The thing is, America is getting cold-feet with Asia becoming more and more of a threat to them. This is why we've seen the actions they take now.
