The Ukraine has been part of russia since 800.. hmm, so Putin is Russia's Abe Lincoln, just getting back a rouge section of the mother country?

I believe Russia saw nato putting missiles in the Ukraine, akin to china putting missiles in mexico.

Putin is protecting his country

Russia has upset the WEF money chain and must be stopped. and american tax payers are footing the bill

OTD in 1918 the Brest-Litovsk treaty was signed between Ukraine, Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire and Hungary.

Which is odd cos Ukraine didn’t exist until Lenin made it as a WMD to be used against Russia.

[Worldtraveler once upon a time]

Comment #42 aimed at you is most amusing. "OTD in 1918 the Brest-Litovsk treaty was signed between Ukraine [ there were two different Ukrainian delegations ], Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire and [ oddly ] Hungary."

Don't let clever confusion clutter a debate.

"The Treaty of Brest-Litovsk was a separate peace treaty signed on 3 March 1918 between Soviet Russia and the Central Powers (Germany, Austria-Hungary, the Ottoman Empire, and Bulgaria), by which Russia withdrew from World War I."

Treaty of Brest-Litovsk WIKI

Additionally, "The terms of the Brest-Litovsk treaty, signed on March 3, 1918, were very onerous: Russia lost territories inhabited by more than one-quarter of its citizens and providing more than one-third of its grain harvest. It also exempted citizens and corporations of the Central Powers from Soviet nationalization decrees. But the treaty saved the Bolshevik regime: for the next eight months it received critical diplomatic and financial support from Germany that enabled it to beat back political opponents."

Brest-Litovsk of Soviet Union Britannica

After the collapse of the USSR, there is no longer a "Soviet Russia," in the verbiage of the Wiki, and moreover, today there is no "Austria-Hungary," no "Ottoman Empire," and no sense in referring to today's governments, as if governments a century ago which no longer exist have relevance. That particular treaty from 1918 is so invalid as to make using its as a "legal" argument specious.

But notice the supposedly clever word game. The Ottoman Empire is no more, though Erdoğan dreams his inane dreams. The German government of that time under Kaiser Wilhelm II is also wiped away. So the treaty is interesting history, and utterly invalid for the governments which made it are also gone.

Apples are not oranges. Unless one really, really, really wants them to be....

DISCLAIMER: Zelensky, Putin, von der Leyen and Biden are all corrupt.
