Wow, you really are stupid to make such a leap of stupidity. Hate jews, do ya?

LOL, you're the one claiming that celebrating a modern date of independence proves no prior history of independence. Idiocy

US President Donald Trump joined other world leaders in sending messages of support to Ukraine


Hidden message: Just do not use our ATACMS to harm Russians at home. Disregard completely when they use their long range missiles to attack you in your home. Gotta be fair about this to stop the bloodshed.

Ukraine never had a nuclear arsenal. Please tell us who the commander back then of the Ukrainian strategic nuclear force was? Tell us about the Ukrainian command structure about Ukraine launching them. There isn’t any. All of the so-called Ukrainian nuclear missiles were owned and controlled by Moscow. They didn’t give up anything. And thank God they didn’t get control of any, otherwise there would be a Nazi bomb in the world right now in the hands of that massively corrupt nation.

Additionally, the Budapest agreement was concluded with the nation state of Ukraine that completely ended in 2014 in a violent Banderist neo-nazi coup sponsored by the CIA. That was when Ukraine lost its sovereignty. Russia made no moves regarding Ukraine until well after the DC London axis did so.
So really, in effect, Russia moved to protect the sovereignty of Ukraine from a western invasion. At least that’s the point of view of a huge chunk of people in the east and Crimea.

“The people of Ukraine have an unbreakable spirit, and your county’s courage inspires many. As you mark this important day, know the United States respects your fight, honors your sacrifices, and believes in your future as an independent nation.”

Bravo! Thank you for sending this message, President trump!

How were the nuclear missiles in Ukraine, "owned" by Moscow after 1991, when there were no more Russian troops in Ukraine?

Ukrainians didn't have the commands for the nuclear missiles, but there is no doubt Ukraine would be able to achieve eventual control.

That is Russian propaganda.

Ukraine had physical possession of nuclear weapons in 1994. That was the whole purpose behind the Budapest Memorandum. Ukraine agreed to give up their nuclear weapons in return for "security guarantees".

Ukraine did not have the codes, they were in Moscow.

Ukraine had scientists who worked in the Soviet nuclear program.

They did not have the economy or the political will to maintain a program with nuclear weapons in the '90s.

LOL, the same way Soviet Russia invaded to save Czechoslovakia from the Prague Spring in 1968.

Amazing that Russia has to invade its neighbors in order to "protect" their sovereignty, while European countries gladly join NATO.

Did President Trump also send a letter to Donetsk and Luhansk on their Independence Day?

“Amazing that Russia has to invade its neighbors in order to “protect” their sovereignty, while European countries gladly join NATO.”


The brief but impactful five-day war, which marked Europe’s first armed confrontation of the twenty-first century, signaled Russia’s revival of Soviet-era anti-Westernism and territorial ambitions, introduced the cyber domain in warfare, and uncovered President Vladimir Putin’s tendency to strike when the West’s focus is diverted. Russia’s New Generation Warfare, the development of which is often linked to Russian Chief of Staff Valery Gerasimov’s 2013 article “The Value of Science in Prediction,” was tested first and foremost in Georgia. Before delving into these aspects, however, let’s first revisit the events of August 2008.

You think like a westerner…..fact is Ukraine has been effectively “ attrited” by Vlad….the West has no stomach for attrition, and no understanding of Russian warfare….scorched Earth and attrition is the Russian way, always has been.
