By tying itself to a reckless and dangerous America, the Ukrainians made a blunder that client states will study for years to come

The core thing to remember is that Ukraine had a neutrality agreement with Russia.

Apparently the Russians don’t think the Ukrainians are as “neutral” as you do.
Unfortunately, everyone else in the World will hold America and Americans responsible for Biden's actions, ... including the criminal ones.
Yep, they will rename this one "World War Woke"
The only reason the Ukraine has been able to defend itself as well as it has is that it isn’t part of the EU. If it were, the populace would have been disarmed, it would have been flooded with immigrants unwilling to fight, and its people would have been taught to hate their country.
You may be correct. If so, it sounds like one party ratting out a key accomplice/exploiter. In this case, Obama, Biden and corrupted U.S. intel services.
Of course, in this instance Russia is facing a threat more serious than that Kennedy faced with Cuba. He is looking not only at NATO but at a significant possible economic threat as well.
I think the truth is that every player involved is bad and has nefarious intent.
I feel bad for the innocent Ukrainian civilians stuck in the crossfire and the peasant Russian conscripts with zero hope of a prosperous life outside of their army. Neither one has a say in this.
I know God will sort all of this out and Judge everybody accordingly. There won’t be many involved to be found innocent.
Russia and Ukraine are so close together we could just nuke them both at once and be done with it.
Better yet, allow the Russian to leave with their tail tucked between their legs and then give Ukraine anti ship Harpoons and tell Russia to leave Crimea.
There is a theory that Stalin was poisoned, so there’s that.
Minsk also provided that the two breakaway areas get to hold elections and get some kind of autonomy. The Kiev government has refused to allow this because the strong Nazi Galican elements in their coalition would repeat 2014 and throw them out. So they keep the nazi Azov out of town and surrounding the rebel areas.
The Uke coup government has broken Minsk.
In any case, when you throw a coup, you do not inherit everything the old government had. That is because every other group has the same right to grab what they can also.
Beria did it. Found out Stalin was about to do another purge.
That’s not an even perspective.
Ukraine has no obligation to honor that part of Minsk if Russia keeps its military inside of Ukraine.
Russia has had Crimea since about 1783. They settled it and had a navy base there that long.
Thanks for that, #5. You’re one of the few rational ones here on this topic.
So many have fallen for the propaganda, so fast. Right here.
This is a phenomenal piece of well articulated information!
Thank you so much for posting!
I think you’re right. But then, the Democrats should have known this is what you get for a mail order President.
In 2014, it legally belonged to Ukraine.
Russia illegally annexed it.
You’re welcome. Short, concise, accurate. A breath of fresh air with the propAgenda floating all around us.
The majority of Ukrainians saw the EU as a better alternative than what Russia had to offer. Putin didn’t like that. His forces were fully involved in Crime and Donbas.
Exactly
