Putin made an offer to allow Ukraine to be a neutral buffer country between Russia and Western Europe. All we had to do was say that Ukraine would never be admitted to NATO. We refused that deal and since then Russia took Crimea and is increasing its hold on Eastern Ukraine.
The World would be a safer place if we had Russia as a friend rather than pushing them into allegiances with Iran and China.
Absolutely!
Since the fall of communism in the old Soviet Union, we have far more in common with Russia than with any Islamic entity, or the Chinese atheists.
I absolutely agree with you .
The Obama/ Biden administration’s have been complete disasters, regarding Ukraine .
I grew up doing duck & cover drills in school at USAF SAC bases. Nothing is worth returning to the degree of fear.
On too of which we now have a technologically advanced PRC.
Russia and Ukraine need to work their problems out peacefully. We should NOT get involved .
Lenin still lies in state in his Masoleum in Moscow, the rehabilitation of Stalin continues, and Russia and other Soviet republics hold massive Soviet throwback parades every year with Soviet symbology and songs. Also, Putin compared Communism to Christanity, and said that Communism is a natural offshoot of Christanity. He also said that the collapse of the Soviet Union was the greatest geopolitical disaster, then turned around and said it was a “reorganization”.
Russia has no right to determine which country should or should not be a buffer. Russia had no right whatsoever to attack Ukraine. Russia is an aggressor here. Will you please ask Russia’s neighbors why they don’t trust Russia? It’s because Russia hasn’t abandoned its imperialist ways (Tsarist and later Bolshevik).
Putin is an old Commie who says Stalin was a good guy, not a murderous maniac he really was. A real Christian would never say that.
This
And reality is they’d probably be far more reliable allies than the emasculated socialist Western Europeans
