Russia claims its “ peaceful neighbor” was massing forces in the East for an offensive vs Crimea, with NATO advisors in support. Due to kick off in March.

It’s “ peaceful neighbor” was also the staging ground for a network of Western funded bio labs engaged in military research. Evidence captured has been presented to the UN

Furthermore its “ peaceful neighbor” in addition to pursuing NATO membership with associated bases foreign troops and offensive weapons, openly called for a return to possessing nuclear weapons.

Finally its “ peaceful neighbor” with a US instigated coup govt, showed an 8 yr track record of ignoring Minsk agreements trying to reach a political solution to stop a civil war that killed an estimated 13,000 Uke citizens in the East resisting oppressive laws aimed at their Russian ethnicity and political status.

Lets have a real and honest review of the above ….without being tarred as “Putin puffers”

Look at a map and answer this question. Crimea lies within what country? If it is Ukranian territory, Russia has no more claim to what goes on in that territory that it has with Alaska.

Peacefull nations can and do own nuclear weapons (US, Uk, Germany, etc)

The internal laws of one nation are not the business of another nation. Russia has no more right to alter the laws of Ukraine than it has to alter the laws of China, the US, or Finland.

By that reasoning, Krushchev had no right to simply give Russian Crimea to Ukraine in 1954 …with no consent of the inhabitants….correct?

And Cuba and Venezuela have the right to possess nukes and host Russian bomber bases….correct? Remind me why we are against nukes in Iran? They have rights,too. Israel needs to accept that. Since by your reasoning nuke weapons, other WMD, and military alliances are internal affairs.

And we should not be arming Kurds who aim to alter map borders. Let the Turks invade Syria and end it.

Peaceful countries simply do not do the kinds of things Ukraine was doing or allow their territory to be used for the kinds of purposes that we’re talking about here. You’re basically promulgating a big lie.

And Cuba was invaded by the US, how did that turn out?

Krushchev was the leader of Russia and since Crimea was inside of their territory, if he wanted to give it away ... fine, that is his choice. But once the transaction is agreed to and completed, Russia looses any right to determine what goes on in Crimea. The same can be said of Alaska. Russia gave the Alaska territory to the US in exchange for currency. Russia gave up the right to determine what goes on in Alaska.

Countries have every right to manage their own internal affairs. That is why they are called sovereign nations. As long as a nation is not attacking other nations, they are peaceful.

Russia is clearly the agressor.

They’re still trying to kill their own people.

It’s not the Russian military committing war crimes.

A quick caveat: I don’t know if those reports are real or not. The entire thing — photos and all — could be computer graphics for all I know.

“Russia owns the Black Sea now”

__________________________________________

The Black Sea security issues were a large contributor to Russia’s concerns over NATO gathering up Ukraine, as anyone paying attention knows. And there’s other issues, but that’s a large one.

The Globalists knew and exploited/leveraged that issue when calculating that they could get their wish and catalyst for WWIII through this particular war.

Both sides, the Russia/China/Iran/Syria, etc axis and the USA/NATO/CIA/SOROS/WEF, etc axis, believe they can win this and rule the whole world.

Two villains, both with the same goal - world depopulation and global dominion.

If they pull this off, and it seems there’s no turning back, the USA will receive what she has sowed.

What we know for certain is that there will be no peace.

really? here in January 2023, it looks like Ukraine still owns a large chunk of it's Black sea coastline

Oh and Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania would beg to disagree with you about ownership of the Black sea.
