I suspect there are many people who really want Russia to be the big bad villain, for the same reason that many on the left see "fascism" everywhere: because they envision themselves in the role of White Rose, a romantic vision of a scrappy underdog fighting for good against insurmountable odds. The problem is that, in doing so, they lose sight of context, and fail to grasp the magnitude of how bad fascism, and communism, really were. So cross-border activity in the east of the Ukraine becomes, in their mind, a full scale invasion replete with violations of the Geneva convention, rather than what it is: the kind of thing that has been happening in that area of the world for 100's of years. Not necessarily pretty or "good", but not the end of the world, either.

‘’how bad fascism, and communism, really were.’’

jj—And they still are bad, and Putin and his KGB minion
running Russia just combined the two to the detriment of
the world. They meddle everywhere that keeps energy prices
up, as well as in Ukraine, Georgia. Polls show that 60%
of Russians want to go back and expand to the old Soviet
Union, running all of Asia and Europe.

On the AR forum we have long thread about Ukraine and
we have Russian trolls paid by Putin to promote him,
one of whom says if we or EU puts one private on the ground
the missles will fly to the US.

I posted fine, most of your rusted junk won’t reach the
Arctic but ours will reach. Sometimes you just gotta
give the world assholes, an attitude adjustment...

Where do you say enough, especially when it appears that
our administration behind the scenes, seems to be giving
away half of Ukraine, as evidenced by their not even
lukewarm response. That is our ‘’flexibility’’ bunch that
has to go into the dustbin also..

Where do we, US, Nato, EU, stop the crap.I’m not a lib but
a redneck gun nut who posts on Accurate Reloading,
where they have a political forum with a thread about
Ukraine hundreds of pages long, with some posters who
are there and in the EU. Please heck it out ..Ed
