EXACTLY!
However, the world is now realizing this:
First, Russia came for Transnistria, Moldova in 1990 and we did not speak out—because I was not a Moldavian.
Then, Russia came for Georgia in 2008, and we did not speak out—because I was not a Georgian.
Then, Russia came for the Crimean peninsula and the Donbas of Ukraine, and we ARE NOW SPEAKING OUT—because RUSSIA MUST STOP INVASIONS of sovereign nations!
If not stopped then, Russia will come for non-NATO & Ex- Soviet States: Armenia, Austria, Azerbaijan BelarusCyprus, Estonia Finland, Ireland, Kazakhstan. Kyrgyzstan Latvia Lithuania, Malta, Sweden, Switzerland, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan.
—And in April, 2022, Russian Brigadier General Rustam Minnekayev directed by Putin said: ”RUSSIA is now at WAR with the whole world, as it [was] in the GREAT PATRIOTIC WAR.”
There is no one no ally left in Europe to speak for the U.S.A.:
And, now to counter Russian aggression has become far too expensive for the U.S. to defeat this renewed Russian Superpower.
