I LIKE Russia. I think it’s ridiculous we are not close friends and partners. Hopefully we will be again and soon. Much more in common. Russias concerns regarding Ukraine could have been fixed without war.
We and Russia have been allies.
We will probably have to be again against the China+Islam Axis.
Russia's concerns regarding Ukraine could have been fixed without war.
You mean like accepting that the people in Crimea voted to rejoin Russia?
That's just crazy talk, where's the 10% for the Big Guy in that???
“Russia’s concerns regarding Ukraine could have been fixed without war.”
They spent a solid year, trying to negotiate. We flipped them the finger. They tried right up to the last minute. We adamantly told them we would do as we pleased, and that what we do in Ukraine is none of their business (in a national security sense) And then of course, Merkel said Minsk II was a lie, a ploy to buy time to strengthen the Uke army.
We literally told them we would only discuss with them what WE deemed relevant.
We had a national policy of building up the nazi-lead forces in Ukraine, bring them into NATO, and Ukraine taking Crimea.
We refused to acknowledge that Sevastopol was a Russian Navy base since the 1780s, and sailed insultingly 3 miles off the coast...claiming that Ukraine gave us permission.
And then last, often discussed was our policy of deposing Putin in a color revolution. In the year before the war, we tried one in Belarus and Kyrgyzstan.
We are the ones that were impossible to negotiate with. We are hell bent on expanding NATO into completely surrounding Russia, overthrowing their leader, and installing a western friendly leader so we could plunder again, like in the 90s.
There was no negotiation possible unless we decided to knock it off.
