Vladimir Putin’s unprovoked war on Ukraine

I'm just going to go ahead and Fact Check this. Russia was provoked into defending itself by the steady encroachment by NATO from the East since 1991. Despite clear warnings, Demented Joe ignored Putin and with a wink and a nod set Clown Boy Zelenskyy loose on the world stage. His use of Cackling Harris during the crisis shows anyone with a brain how unserious he is on settling the matter. This will end soon with Putin securing safety for his nation and people, while at the same time embarrassing the leftist mess that is NATO.

The whole “Russia is scared, scarrry Nato will invade the motherland...” is such uttter tripe and garbage. It was the Soviets/Russians who invaded, enslaved formerly free countries at the end of WWII. These scumbags have incredible gall to act like the aggrieved ones.

Somebody else crossing a red line that you had no right to draw in the first place doesn't constitute being the legitimately provoked. Way back in 1994, Russia promised in writing to respect the borders of ukraine, and to not use any coercion, economic or otherwise, to try to interfere with Ukraine's decisions as a sovereign state. In exchange for this written promise, Ukraine agreed to give up its nuclear warheads.

Russia unilaterally breached that promise in 2014. Following that breach, Ukraine had the same legitimate right as any other sovereign state to join alliances in self-defense.

The claim that Russia justifiably feared being invaded by Ukraine is so ridiculous that only a moron or Putin stooge could possibly believe it.

That's bull - The Russian federation has lasted since 1991 and it has never been invaded.

The Russian federation is a successor state of the USSR (and not directly or indirectly of the Tsardom/Empire of Russia)- and the last invasion of the USSR was from it's ALLY - Nazi Germany

In fact even today you have Kaliningrad that is not even under threat from the two NATO countries that surround it. So much so that Putin has withdrawn missiles and troops from there to augment his failed mission in Ukraine

Russia does not have "security concerns of neighbors attacking it" - no neighbor has shown ANY interest (bar China).

Rather on the contrary, Russia's neighbors see that Russia attacks non-NATO neighbors of Russia

Drivelous balderdash brought forth by a supporter of the war crimes inflicted upon the people of Ukraine by a vindictive and incompetent Mother Russia.
