Somebody tell Vlad to watch his step around any windows on the very high floors. It’s that new “Russian Illness” going around. Effects one’s sense of balance, they say.
See Hitchcock movie ‘Vertigo’ as reference.
I’m sorry but you cannot do good by performing deliberate evil.
At this point I do not believe any of Russia or Putin lame excuses for this war. The only reason they invaded is to get the oil and gas that’s been discovered in the Eastern part of Ukraine.
If it was all about the Russian citizens living in Ukraine then why are Russian citizens living in Ukraine?
If it is about the ethnic Russians living in Ukraine then why did Putin start the war by killing thousands of those people?
It wasn’t about NATO because Finland and Sweden are joining with little complaint from Russia.
It was just about money.
Just like you I like Putin’s policies on culture and society, to a point. He ended what free speech there was in Russia. He virtually banned all but the state sanctioned church. And while he banned gay propaganda his followers post it here every single day.
I could go on but my point is that this man has no credibility anymore. Whatever good he did has been utterly eclipsed by the evil he has foisted upon the poor people of Ukraine.
On the upside of Putin people don’t talk about Hitler so much anymore. Why talk about a madman from 80 years ago when we have one on this planet right now?
Yep. They are grooming him. And he will be next I believe.
What you believe isn’t really based on anything you know.
What I know is big bad nuclear powered Russia invaded Ukraine. And I can read a map and according to that map the only parts that Russia wants right now are the parts that have oil and gas.
Russia has oil and gas coming out of every orifice.
I can buy that their move wasn’t entirely humanitarian but
Oil and gas as a motive is patently ridiculous.

Do you think we would allow Mexico to have Russian nukes on our border with them?
That is what you are asking Russia to allow.
Even now, Biden just sent missiles to the UKronazis that can reach Moscow.
Moscow is madly building bomb shelters.
Big bad nuclear powered NATO has invaded scores of countries, mostly in the middle east, where hmmm...there is a lot of oil.
And all the lies about WMD and babies being thrown from incubators were exposed.
Anyway, that’s probably why you had that idea. It’s an American tradition. Right now we are stealing oil from Syria where we are illegal as invaders, coincidentally.
Eastern Russia has historically been ethnically Russian since Ukraine was formed.
Ukraine has been persecuting ethnic Russians, and ethnic Hungarians and Roma for well over a decade.
It is in the Ukraine constitution - a requirement to be ethnically pure.
Eastern Russia was so persecuted that they announced separatism in 2014.
Since then and nearly every day up to today they are shelled by the Ukraine army. Usually a few deaths/day now but always in civilian areas.
For eight years Ukrainian children have been taught to hate Russians, learning chants about killing them in fact.
The people in eastern Russia were considered superfluous and TV programs In Ukraine discussed genocide openly.
Way, way more to this than oil or gas.
Right now I’m not really worried about any country allowing Russian troops or Russian noobs on their soil. Even the idiots in Belarus know better than to trust you Russian jerks anymore.
What the United States is doing in Syria is absolutely wrong. That is still no excuse for what Russia is doing in Ukraine.

You and your sources have lied so many times about this, it is disgraceful you're even allowed to post this garbage.

They went to war because of resources is laughable nonsense.
Russia doesn’t need to invade Ukraine because of resources, they have plenty of resources.
The Russian Establishment backed the invasion of Ukraine for political reasons. They didn’t like Ukraine becoming a DC, EU, or Western puppet, so they “rolled the dice.”
Will the war benefit Russia? Answer: No
Will the war benefit Ukraine? Answer: No
A lot of ‘tough sledding’ ahead on this issue.
