We could have shown Russia that we weren’t harmful by not piling up our weapons along its border

You keep posting this nonsense, without ANY proof. Most of the US weapons and soldiers were stationed in Germany, with the US cutting back the numbers after 1991.

We showed we weren't "harmful" to Russia by reducing troop levels.

Russian response, attack its neighbors and seize their land.

The number of U.S. troops stationed in Europe has fluctuated significantly over time, particularly after the end of the Cold War. In 1989, there were 315,225 troops, which decreased to 107,158 by 1995. By 2021, the number had further decreased to 63,853. In 2018, the number bottomed out at around 65,000

It’s not nonsense. It was the impetus as to why Russia was concerned. Russia isn’t stupid about the globalists. He knows they lie. They pile up weapons and say there is nothing to worry and use them suddenly when it can’t be defended against.

He knows, even if you think they are good people. He attended the same globalist leader school they did, so he knows what they are up to. Even if you won’t acknowledge what our leaders do as wrong.

Yes, Russia invaded Ukraine. That’s not debateable. He did it so it couldn’t be used as a weapons depot by our leaders.

You want me to believer our leaders are not up to anything, they shouldn’t be doing anything that represents imperialism, like using countries along Russia’s borders as weapon depots.
