Total nonsense and the same sort of bull crap the USSR used to put out when it blamed the Nazis for the Katyn massacre and the same BS it used as it swallowed Eastern Europe. It is also the same sort of reverse-reality nonsense Hitler used to take over Germany’s neighbors. When you get down to it, it is also the same style of deception that Democrats use, accusing their opponents of doing what they themselves are doing, as when they blamed Trump for cuddling up to Putin while Hunter Biden and the Clintons were for all practical purposes, on the payrolls of this country’s enemies, including Russia and China.
It is nonsense to claim that the West is starting a war in Ukraine when it is the Russians piling its troops on the border aimed at Ukraine. Ukraine and the West are not launching an invasion of Russia; Russia is threatening to take over Ukraine and it’s neighbors. The Russians would prefer to do it as cheaply as possible using propaganda and the political weaknesses of their opposing neighbors and the US, so they use propaganda designed specifically for each demographic in the West to persuade their targets that Mother Russia is good and uncorrupted while the West is hopelessly corrupt and dying, and unfortunately their liberal handmaidens here help validate these things by being as corrupt and self-serving as they can.
So now we are so polarized and weak with the Chinese and Russians effectively controlling the Democratic Party and our media, that Putin may very well believe that the US is bluffing and will do absolutely nothing of consequence even if he openly order his forces in.
Unfortunately for Europe, the US is handicapped by an idiot pro-communist President who has been selling us out and supporting the Russians since the days Soviets were trying to establish air and naval bases in Central America.
It was the Democrats that pushed Ukraine into giving up its only real deterrent to Russian invasion by disarming and turning over its nukes, and it was Obama And Biden who denied it the defensive systems that were supposed to work as a substitute to make the price of a potential invasion too high. They have been ignorantly inviting a Russian invasion while enriching themselves, hoping only that the Russians would be like them and be content to simply exploit Ukraine for personal profit.
We are further handicapped by a population that is mostly too young to even remember the propaganda the Soviets and Nazis put out to justify their takeovers, and incapable of recognizing the BS. Meanwhile, the Russians and Chinese have become very good at manipulating western opinion, having learned how to trigger desirable responses in every faction while keeping each faction at another’s throat.
Depending on which brand of propaganda Americans have been swallowing in the absence of truth, Americans are too scared of either catching the sniffles or too scared to be vaccinated to even worry about long term repercussions of a Russia- dominated Europe. Too few are willing to join the military now that the politicians on both right and left have demonstrated for generations that they are unwilling to fight for victory, but all too willing to use Americans to fight for politicians’ and politicians’ useless offspring’s personal gain. Putin must be very tempted to take advantage of this polarization.
I hate to tell you, but Russia is not an American colony and they can do in their own country as they please. Or am I wrong because YOU said?
