PING!
I think Russia’s need for the Crimean Peninsula and and access to the Black Sea has something to do with it.
It started with the words: “Well, son of a bitch”.
Did you miss the Jeffrey Sachs part of this video? He explained that.
Yeah, another STUPID reason. To keep the CORRUPTION pipeline funds flowing.
Russia aka Putin, around here, knows the globalist west wants what Russia has and has wanted it since Ukraine became Ukraine.
The west has been goading and promising Ukraine the moon if they just fight Russia in every way possible. It is very much a proxy war and the blobs in western governments are pulling the strings. Their great reset misery planned for mankind depends on it.
Freepers have been saying this since day 1. Zeepers do not want the truth…
It seems like Reagan never brought down the USSR but that the USSR is in charge of everything now, all of Europe and the Americans.
The nations it used to occupy, the Western nations, the United States are all supposed to bow down to it’s power and let it control which countries can ask to join NATO and which ones NATO is allowed to accept.
The USSR, the empire that doesn’t even exist doesn’t even need a treaty for that supposed power and control, its supporters simply say it is so and do it now, all those countries must obey and restructure their and defensive life and treaties and alliances under this new set of firm control and rules, and there is no better time for doing that than as Russian tanks are rolling and invading a neighbor with the bloodiest European war since WWII.
A lot of confusion helped in no small amount by the Dems and the Left in America.
The Left’s history is that of wars starting under and because of their watch.
The Catholic West has had this same attitude towards Russia for the past 1000 years; we must destroy the largest surviving remnant of Eastern Orthodoxy. Ukrainians have always been willing pawns in this transaction; they’ve enjoyed pillage and being muscle-for-hire ever since the Greeks called them Cimmerians and the Romans called them Scythians.
Russia aka Putin, around here, knows the globalist west wants what Russia has and has wanted it since Ukraine became Ukraine.
It is one reason wars start. Misperceptions about reality.
Putin obviously had very bad intelligence about Ukraine, or he would not have invaded.
A freeper (rdcbn1 (TV)) made this interesting comment yesterday:
“It’s not for nothing that the Russian invasion of Ukraine was motivated by Chinese forwarding to Russia false US intelligence reports that the Chinese were being fed from US intelligence sources that Ukrainian admission into NATO was immanent.”
I do not know whether this is true or not.
China is the big winner in the Russian/Ukraine war.
.
All Russia had to do was hear Kamala Harris SPEAK about admitting Ukraine into NATO. They didn’t need any secret reports to tell them what was being said out loud at the 2020 Munich Security Conference.
“Because the USA pledged in 1991 to the Soviet Union NOT to expand NATO eastward as the Soviet Bloc in Eastern Europe continued its collapse. So what happened? The pledge was broken as Professor Jeffrey Sachs explained, with the result being that Russia went into extreme alarm mode when it appeared that Ukraine might soon join NATO.”
I remember hearing about that pledge on the national news at the time. It only took the West eight years to break that promise by admitting adding the Czech Republic, Hungary, and Poland in 1999.
Since the end of the Cold War, NATO has added 16 more members from 1999 to 2025.
This article is totally right!
No more NATO!
The purpose of NATO was to counter the Soviet Union and the Warsaw Pact. Soviet Union and Warsaw Pact ended by 1991, thus no more need for NATO. Unfortunately from that point on NATO acted as if it needed to find a new mission. When NATO attacked Serbia later in the 1990s I knew something was seriously WRONG with its new mission.
May I helpfully suggest that you surround your house, entire neighborhood with “Allahu Akbar”?
There how’s that feel ?
Weird post, it made no sense.
The purpose of NATO was and is to defend against Russia, whether big empire or little empire.
It was the Russian empire that we broke and we still faced Russia, it wasn’t Poland and Lithuania, and all the other victim nations of Russia who fled to our defensive alliance that were the heart of or the cause of the threat, it was Russia, and still is Russia.
