Dmitry Medvedev, deputy chairman of Russia's Security Council, said on Saturday that nobody could guarantee that the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv would survive to see May 10 if Ukraine attacked Moscow during World War Two victory celebrations on May 9.

Russia thought they were protecting themselves from the threat of NATO expansion

Russia's purely subjective feelings about NATO do not give Russia veto rights vis-à-vis other sovereign nations wishing to join NATO. They certainly don't give Russia the right to launch a full-scale attack against neighboring countries, in the course of which Russia annexes vast swaths of territory.

along with the Nazi threat

Unproven / hyperbole!

of an ever increasing rise in Ukraine who had been attacking Russian speaking Ukrainians along its border with Russia for many years at that point

Irrelevant / none of Russia's business!

Is Trump wrong to be concerned about China having control of both ports of the Panama Canal?

Irrelevant "Whataboutism!" Besides, President Trump can be as "concerned" as he wishes (indeed: I share his concerns) - that is in no way comparable to launching a full-scale invasion and annexing territory.

Is it wrong that we U.S. citizens are concerned about the criminal elements that were allowed in this country by Biden, along with many illegals that were never vetted and we do not know who these people really are or what they real intents are?

You are raising completely irrelevant issues that have absolutely no bearing on Russia's war of conquest against Ukraine.

Was it wrong for Sweden, Norway, and the other nations to claim neutrality during WWII?

I have never said anything about or against Sweden, Norway, or any other sovereign national voluntarily choosing neutrality. Choosing neutrality and having it imposed as a prerequisite to not being invaded are two entirely different things.

We could have eased that friction also by merely taking NATO expansion off of the table

Russia has no seat at the table when it comes to NATO deciding whom to admit to the club or not.

Well, it has been pretty well-documented that many Ukrainians fought with the Nazi's against the Soviet Union. It has also been pretty well documented that they still annually march for Stepan Bandera's birthday.

I am not surprised that after all of this time, you still do not know the truth. But hey, why let the truth in, it might just prove you wrong.

Here are the two most prominent Ukrainians that you need to look into Roman Shukhevych, and Stepan Bandera.

A Holocaust perpetrator was just celebrated on US soil.

There are plenty more recent pictures of the Nazi's that still exist in large numbers within Ukraine, but I will let you find them on your own, if you think I am cherry-picking.

Yes. Globalists behind the illegal coup in Ukraine are the enemy.

You're completely or willfully ignorant of you don't realize that.

It was a recruit for the Ukrainian war that was behind the second assassination attempt of Trump.

The same globalists are behind mass migration and the green agenda and destroying free and fair elections in Romania and France.

You're either dumb or playing dumb, probably the latter.
