Call for diplomacy. It can be both that the Russians illegally invaded Ukraine to rebuild the former Empire. It can also be that the US is in this to make profit for the military industrial complex and to sell natural gas to Western Europe to expand the empire.
After the fall of the Soviet Union the US made treaties with Russia that stated NATO will not pass reunified Germany. Now NATO is on Russia’s border. We store nukes several hindered miles from Moscow. Imagine how the US would react with Russian nukes on this side of the world. Say 90 miles off the coast of Florida.
The Cold War is over. NATO should be gone.
I am not a Russian apologist or a tankie. I am pro peace. I am a U.S. citizen. I love my country. I believe we should not be a nation above nations but rather a nation among nations. Just remember the people in the media talking about freedom are the same fuckers who got US into Iraq and Afghanistan. Lindsey Graham put it best.
“I like the path we're on. With American weapons and money, Ukraine will fight Russia to the last Ukrainian.”
The Europeans have been doing that since the fall of the USSR. It got more intense after 2014. It doesn't work with Putin's Russia.
I'd ask you to prove that but we both know that no such Treaty ever existed.
Happens all the time. Russian Nuclear Submarines on the East Coast, Russian Spy Ships hovering around Florida and Hawaii, and recently the Russians and Chinese started getting together to party off the coast of Alaska.
So it's not a question, we KNOW what the modern day response is. The US keeps an eye on it but otherwise continues to go about its business.
Yes, I imagine that President Putin would like that very much.
Said while spouting regurgitated and endlessly disproved Pro-Russian talking points. We all want "peace" bub, but rolling over and showing your belly is a poor way to get it.
So am I, of direct Lithuanian & German descent. My people came here Post WWII after seeing what the Russians were like first hand. Your call for appeasement is of no interest to me Mr. Chamberlain.
Seems legit to me. Putin is just being a whiny bitch and only showing countries why they should join NATO. Let's think about it. He invades Ukraine because he doesn't want to share a border with a NATO country. He wins Ukraine. Ukraine shares a border with Poland, a NATO country. Now what? Invade Poland too? And do you actually think for a goddamn second a defensive alliance is going to invade Russia?
Not to mention his aggression literally caused 2 more countries to join NATO.
