There were two US lead coups in Ukraine. One in 2004 and another in 2014. The fact of the matter is, the US is pushing NATO to expand towards Russia’s border, and it has. The US state dept. pushed for the terms of Minsk agreement to be ignored, and they were.

Russia has been warning about this for eight years and they’ve had enough. Eventually, I predict, that Europeans who are caused to suffer by provocative US foreign policy are going to kick the US out of NATO and out of Europe and out of their lives.

Some people, like yourself, live their entire lives in an old black and white John Wayne movie.

Just for starters:

NATO does not “expand” anywhere. Nations ask to join, submit their application and must be unanimously approved by member nations.

Ukraine applied to join NATO in 2008 but GE and FR did not approve their application so Ukraine was not admitted.

Russia’s invasion proves Ukraine was right to want to join NATO and wrong to give up its nukes.

If Finland and Sweden join NATO it will be due to Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and continued Russian threats against Finland and Sweden, not NATO’s “expansion”.

Just because your neighbor locks his door doesn’t give you the right to kick it down and invade his home. No one has a right to their neighbor’s property or liberty.

Russia owns only misery. Everyone wants to leave and seeks protection from it. Thug-run nation.

The "coups" were to throw out a Russian-installed government from the Ukraine. The US may have backed it, but the Ukraininan people were in charge of it - and many lost their lives to Russian butchers. See: Maidan Massacre.

The Russians do not own any of the countries that border them - and have nothing to fear from anybody joining NATO. The Russians are being their usual brutal, primitive selves - again.

John Wayne movies are good for you.
