“No, fool, that was a response to Russia starting a revolution in the Ukraine, and then seizing Crimea.
Why would any country not build up their army after that??? “
The relevant Revolution was the the 2014 Maidan Color Revolution, which put a Victoria Nuland created Regime aligned with a hostile alliance on an indefensible border with Russia.
“The relevant Revolution...”
What a joke. Every revolution and coup is relevant to the people of that country. And Russia started it, constantly trying to install puppet dictators in Ukraine, even back in the early 2000s, long before the “Maidan” movement, which was a backlash to the constant Russian interference in their politics.
