So which is it, some shadowy puppetmasters pulling the strings behind the scenes, or sovereign countries responding to whatever is happening around them?

And who actually WANTS to ‘control’ Russia? That mostly inhospitable sparsely populated land? Who, besides the Russians, is going to mine that mineral wealth for 10-15K rubles salary and a bottle of vodka? Surely not the “globalists”. Russian labor, like Russian lives, is cheap. Other than the Russians, or possibly the Chinese or North Korean slave laborers no one else wants to live and work there mining all that precious mineral wealth.

Russian agriculture is only profitable in the southern regions, like Krasnodar or Kuban, the rest of it you’d be struggling to break even. Part of the reason why they covet Ukraine lands, it was and is a breadbasket of much of Europe and

>> Russia is responding to the actions of the West.

You’re willfully ignoring Moscow’s continuing agressive policy towards the “near abroad” as they call the former USSR republics. They let them “leave” without actually letting them leave and got pissed when some of those tried to assert real independence. As long as their stooge is in power, there is “peace” if you can call it that.

They never really respected or recognized their independence, in spite of numerous treaties that they signed. Like that Treaty of Friendship with Ukraine, not worth the ink or the paper its written on.

They invaded Georgia in 2008 and before that they meddled in places like Abkhazia, Transdnistria, and the rest of ex-Soviet hotspots.

They ensured that Karabakh conflict would ever be a heap of smouldering coals, ever requiring their “mediation”. Guess what, Armenia has had enough of them too at this point and their president is withdrawing from Moscow-oriented security agreements and organisations. I’ll bet you will say he is a puppet of the globalists too.

Right. The globalists are acting out of sincerity and will not touch the $400 trillion in mineral wealth for themselves?

You’re like the 1940’s American who thought the death camps were myth and no humans were that evil, until Eisenhower made it undeniable.

Russia will be Russia, but obviously you see nothing wrong with piling military hardware and spy agencies just outside Russia’s doors.

That inhospitable land has an estimated $400 trillion in mineral wealth. You think the globalists, who have publicly stated to want the world’s population reduced by about 8 trillion people are going to care about the people on the land? They see that inhospitable land as assets in their bank account.

I haven’t ignored anything about Russia. We could have allowed them narrow objectives, if their concern was about the Russian speaking ethnicities, and not had a war. If Russia went beyond their stated objectives, then we could have had our war.

We are as sincere about the Ukraine war as we were about the Gulf war I and II, when Bush lied about WMD’s.

But go ahead and believe those that have stated they want a one world government and 8 trillion less people. I’m sure they are telling the truth, right?
