Often lost in the haze of war is truth, but the truth regarding the Ukraine/Russia conflict is explicit, and many experts from varying ideological backgrounds have warned that NATO expansion would provoke hostilities for decades.
Nevertheless, the globalists have proceeded anyway and ignored the sage advice of these individuals, and now here we are, perhaps on the precipice of World War 3 as a result of their folly.
Renegade left-wing journalist Glenn Greenwald amplified a Twitter thread posted by observer Arnaud Bertrand of MeAndQi.com showing how the globalists ignored many warnings that pushing Ukraine toward NATO would lead to war.
“I think it is the beginning of a new cold war. I think the Russians will gradually react quite adversely and it will affect their policies. I think it is a tragic mistake. There was no reason for this whatsoever. No one was threatening anybody else. This expansion would make the founding fathers of this country turn over in their graves,” said George F. Kennan, a legendary State Department bureaucrat who was the primary architect of the U.S. containment strategy in the 1940s that would go on to eventually defeat Sovietism, during a 1998 interview with New York Times columnist Tom Friedman before his death.
“Our differences in the Cold War were with the Soviet Communist regime. And now we are turning our backs on the very people who mounted the greatest bloodless revolution in history to remove that Soviet regime. And Russia’s democracy is as far advanced, if not farther, as any of these countries we’ve just signed up to defend from Russia. Of course there is going to be a bad reaction from Russia, and then [the NATO expanders] will say that we always told you that is how the Russians are — but this is...

Putin is an enemy of the globalists.
A hypothetical is no excuse for Russia to just roll tanks in. Sure Russia is acting in its geopolitical interests but we should also act in ours. I’d like to see people say we should take it easy on China because they’re just doing what they feel is best to maintain their power.
Invading a country to add it back to his influence is tots a guy for national self determination.
I am an enemy of the globalists. That doesn’t make me a Putin fan. Putin is evil.
You know you have lived in good times historically when European conflict is out of the ordinary to you.
Should we care? What’s done is done.
A strong Russia will keep the Krauts and the Turks in check. And the Chinamen? They’ve gotta know the Moozlems are not their friends. Settle scores with Europe and the rest of their enemies is small potatoes. Otherwise we have to dominate Eurasia, something we’re not up to.
The vaccine holocaust is exploding.
A war is needed to distract attention from it.
LOOK! SQUIRREL!
No, the fake Russian Collusion led straight to this. Trump was not allowed to talk with Russia. Russia could have been an ally, but Trump had to be taken down. Never would have happened under Trump.
Now, Putin has gone insane.
Russians have been killing their neighbors for hundreds of years. Putin is no bulwark against globalism. He’s a garden variety Russian thug leader. They breed them like weeds over there.
I imagine the Allies felt the same way about Stalin in World War 2. The enemy of my enemy...
The unadulterated truth of the situation we are all watching unfold remains to be seen. However, as I see who is rallying to the side of the Ukrainian government I am growing more and more skeptical about who they really are and what this is really all about.
third world sheet.
I guess you missed the news that Putin’s Russia was part of the Russia hoax. One of Clinton’s staffers (who is now Biden’s NSA) was in contact with them.
“Putin is an enemy of the globalists.”
Nope. Putin wants his own version of globalism. Look at the current situation like a Mafia family in a power struggle where Putin wants to be boss, but others in the family like Soros want him out.
.... Putin is an enemy of the globalists ...
May be but still doesn’t prevent them from using him.
A battle of criminals and opportunists where one side wins and the common man loses.
Russia, China and other countries are just a different flavor of globalism with many of the same end goals as the western globalists.
Countries voluntarily joining NATO is evil US expansion?
VP rolling in the Russian tanks on a non-aggressive nation is supposed to be OUR fault?
I am thinking a few "esteemed journalists" need to be airdropped about 200 miles northeast of Kiev.

Ukraine and Covid are not a related conspiracy. The Ukraine invasion is one powerful evil man/regime looking at the corrupt, inept, demented, and juvenile US ‘leadership’ and the opportunity Biden has presented Putin to fulfill a sick wish he has had since ascending to power. Putin saw a reluctance to address chinas Covid attack on the world, and Biden’s disaster in Afghanistan. He knew if he wanted to go down in history as the man who rebuilt the Russian empire, now was the time.
China may very well view Taiwan as a similar opportunity for the same reasons now.
Russia doesn’t get a say who can or cannot join NATO because Russia declined their chance to join NATO.
Funny how that worked out.
