“Had Russia remained within its’ borders this wouldn’t be an issue. Cause and effect?”
All Russia is doing is following the direction laid out by our government by staying within our borders: Monroe Doctrine, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya....
You get the picture.
Oh puhleeez
“All Russia is doing is following the direction laid out by our government by staying within our borders: Monroe Doctrine, Vietnam, Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya....”
No, Russia didn’t follow our direction, it simply followed its “sense of destiny” as it had done since before the United States was ever founded (read up on the history of eastern Europe in general and Russia in particular). What Russia is doing today in its invasion of Ukraine is simply what Russia has done for hundreds of years.
