Nip da Bud

.... are you sure? The unprovoked unilateral belligerence of a full annexation with no diplomatic justification is definition enough for most people.

Ah, a kool aid ingester. Stop believing the lies. This conflict has been planned for decades and is clearly staged. Convenient buzzwords aside, if there was really any threat, USA would have boots on the ground already. What happened instead? Oh right billions of dollars spent to send weapons to Ukraine, and let's not forget the insane amount of grift from all parties. It's all about the Benjamin's.

Ok. So why does Russia get to take it over?

No one said they should.

Great. Then stop making it sound like they should.

Okay then, well let's maybe stop acting like USA is the go***mn world police. I also never made it sound like they should either, that's you looking for shit to argue about. It is not our responsibility to save Ukraine from their corruption and stupidity, we got enough of our own to deal with. #F**kUkraineandDaddyRussiatoo.

.....nooooooooo, it's our responsibility to save our allies from hostile annexation. That's what an alliance IS. That's the point.

What they do with their internal politics under ordinary circumstances is or at least should be up to them but the reason this is not ordinary circumstances is, for once, not our fault - it's Russia's.

Actually, it very much is our fault. This all started at the end of WW2 mind you.
NATO exists because Europe was in shambles and didn't want Russia to seize the continent. Russia was also concerned about potential invasions. In all that time Russia's sovereignty was being encroached upon while Ukraine allowed terrorists and spies to have free reign. Ukraine made a very bad situation worse for themselves. Further, Russia, China, and OPEC want to break our hold over the petrol dollar and reserve currency status. By getting involved in this, at precisely the wrong time, we ignore our own weakening military, tech, infrastructure, and government. Which means when the dam breaks, USA isn't going to have a good time. This isn't like before, we are no longer a singular nuclear armed superpower.
Save our allies from hostile annexation? Yeah, we are doin a bang up job at it. Money, weapons, supplies, billions of dollars worth and less than half actually made it to Ukraine. Half of our "allies" including Ukraine are straight using our charity to grift us. Meanwhile, our own citizens are overworked, underpaid, our social nets are crumbling, an attempted coup by theocrats and autocrats is under way, the homeless population is exploding, women, trans, and homosexual are losing their rights. But let's worry about Ukraine's corrupt government surviving because we want to monopolize European resources.

No. Nobody - NOBODY - is forcing Putin to do this.

From Putin's perspective yes, he is. He feels bullied by the international community, something he has said consistently and repeatedly. How long realistically did people think Putin was gonna put up with NATO and US aggression?

Oh, Putin told you HE'S the victim in all this?

I never thought of it like that before. In that case, sure, Russia gets to take over the Ukraine then.

The USA became the "go***mn world police" to keep Russia/USSR in check in the first place, and in case Germany started WWIII 2 decades later, as usual.

And yet look what happened, Germany didn't bust a grape for once, and we still didn't prevent a Russian invasion, all while doing all we could to piss russia off even more. But Ukraine are the good guys. Give me a f**kin break.

Of Greece, Italy, France... and the rest of the planet? That commie takeover y'all are constantlly harping about?

Where did I say that or anything about Ukraine? Although correct, they are.

May the demise of Russia (keep an eye on that chunk of excrement) suit the Ruskie bastards well. They've always been a backwards embarrassment anyways,,,,
