“Russia is an ally of the United States throughout history. Our people share the same traditional values.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Let’s sort this out.
No, we have not been an ally of Russia throughout history - except for a short period of time during WWII, because Germany and Japan were at that time seen as greater threats. “The enemy of my enemy is my friend.” Right?
But, these alliances are obviously always temporary. They exist only to serve a shared objective for a limited time.
While we can support the Russian people who are victims of a horrible light-Stalinist regime represented by Putin, we cannot say that the KREMLIN is a friend of America. The Kremlin foments anti-American deeds non-stop.
Trump sent a US nuclear submarine against Russia very recently after the Kremlin threatened America with nukes! Would a friendly nation treat America like that!? Right, the answer is no. But Russia does such things, never forget that.
Very recently, the Kremlin / Putin signed military security deals with Venezuela, Nicaragua and nuclear deals with Iran.
They have brought in North Korean communist troops to kill europeans and Ukrainians on European soil (as we speak). They also use Islamic Chechen forces to kill europeans and Ukrainians as well...
While Ukraine has no nations fighting with troops on its side...
Thus, Ukraine (30 times smaller than Russia) is fighting alone against a Islamo-NeoSoviet-Communist Axis as we speak!
Therefore, the Ukrainians are truly a courageous people.
No, Russia supported the United States in our Revolutionary War against the tyrants of Britain. BECAUSE WE SHARE THE SAME TRADITIONAL VALUES.
And Russia supported the United States in our civil war which was orchestrated by bankers and other Ne-er Do Wells.
In my view, Trump and Putin are secretly working together, and the war games you reference is theater. Remember, most of what we see cannot be taken at face value. Much is hidden for strategic purposes.
And much of what we see in the Ukraine are false flags perpetrated by the installed Ukrainian government meant to blame Russia.
The Ukrainian people are courageous. But the “government” of the Ukraine are all liars and cowards.
