WSJ is oblivious to the crazy irony of this statement.
Russia draws a line on Ukraine, which used to be part of Russian, and then Soviet territory for centuries. Meanwhile the USA deep state, 4800 miles away from Washington DC, is mucking around in Ukraine with coups, expanding NATO from 12 to 30 countries, weapons sales, etc...
And its the Russians with "imperial ambitions." LOL.
Zactly...
Russia’s ambitions are right off the Florida coast. Cuba is still there, an outpost for Russia, and it is still a prison island. And Venezuela, a more recent outpost of Russia. And Bolivia, and Russia-supported FARC... and Russia has probably got a new Viktor Bout mucking around in Africa as before. And Russia still buys North Korean slave labor to cut timber in the far east...slave, because the laborers aren’t the ones who receive the checks, the regime does.
You can’t play up biolabs and flawed leadership, then take
the gas preserves and leave the biolabs alone and the
leadership in tact.
Surely you guys can decipher some of this on your own.
Russia is taking away all of the Ukraine’s sea access.
Do you really think that is reasoned?
Going in, taking territory, refusing to give it back, yes
that is pretty much an imperial act.
“Russia draws a line on Ukraine, which used to be part of Russian,“
Does that include the Holodomor where Russia killed 4 million Ukrainians ?
Or is that just a inconvenient fact for the Russian supporters ?
Too bad Reagan isn’t still around; he knew reality and the evil of Russia.
He would have no patience for the pro Russian bull$hit propaganda that is posted here and other places.
Most of Ukraine belonged to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth far longer than it did to Russia, which is why it is quite culturally distinct. By your argument, it should go back to Poland.
And its the Russians with "imperial ambitions." LOL.
Well, don't forget, The Big Guy needs to protect his 10%.
