Nato was preparing to set up bases in ukraine. Given the flat terrain Russia would have been invaded In the future. They had to act now

This is extremely stupid. The standard of living collapsed after the fall of the ussr.
All that the west has done was to destabilize the eastern Europe and the middle east after that to project their power. If Putin wouldn't have come to power in the early 2000s Russia would probably be a vassal state of the west now and China would not be where it is today.
Now on the war part. Ua economy and army was completely replaced by the west. Ua actions make me believe that the west wants to collapse Russia. Instead they are the one being embarrassed. Russia not only did not lose but is still advancing in ua territory despite the 809bn from the west.
On top of that the economies are collapsing in the west. Many countries chose to ditch us bonds for Chinese ones after the sanctions applied to russia.
What is happening in Iran is proof that Europe does not afford to open another front
Enjoy the collapse of the western empire
You have no arguments to support your imperialist country and resort to this
I hear no arguments
Yet I find the same neoliberal hivemind
Because their governments are run by western imperial interests
China needs Russia just as much. Just imagine what it will mean for China to have an open border with a west aligned Russia
Pravda is an Ukrainian propaganda outlet so I don't believe what they are saying
Ussr wan never colonialist, in fact they tried to help Korea Vietnam, Afghanistan burhina Faso against imperialism.
Russia was faced with tho very hard decision. Act as an aggressor now or wait to be invaded later. They would have been portrayed as villains either way so they took the right one
