You keep saying that. But the alternative was to do nothing and the globalists would have completed their agenda. Uke militias and Uke army were already massing for a massive assault on the Donbass, NATO was extending an invitation, the Ukes were prepping to go nuclear and to also attack Crimea.
So his choice was do nothing and globalists win. Or fight and globalists still do ok, but at least he has kept them away. He learned the lesson of Munich and knew the expansionist dictatorship could not be stopped by appeasement. He offered several months of attempts to negotiate a settlement. Our response was a blatant and rude F U that we would only talk about topics we deemed to matter, and that didn’t include any of their concerns.
Also, globalists are not doing so well. Half the world including the Saudis have turned on them. OPEC has turned on them. They are in an energy and economic disaster.
Putin saw what happened at Munich when the original nazis were appeased.

"(1) Uke militias and Uke army were already massing for a massive assault on the Donbass, (2) NATO was extending an invitation, (3) the Ukes were prepping to go nuclear and (4) to also attack Crimea." Those are complete lies, because:
- 1) Why would Ukraine stage a "massive assault" on itself?
- 2) Ukraine first applied for NATO membership in 2008, NATO's response was: first do Membership Action Plan, then we'll talk.
- 3) There's no evidence of Ukrainian nukes -- just the opposite, Ukraine gave up its stockpile of nukes in exchange for Russia's worthless promise not to invade!!
- 4) Again, why would Ukrainians attack themselves in Crimea, it makes no sense, must be a total Russian propaganda lie.

He [Putin!!!] learned the lesson of Munich and knew the expansionist dictatorship could not be stopped by appeasement." Still more lying propaganda -- worthy of a Goebbels or Hillary Clinton (but I repeat myself).
You turn the reality of an unprovoked Russian invasion of Ukraine into a justified defensive response by Russia to Ukrainian "aggression".
In your delusional world it's Russia playing the role of peace-seeking Chamberlain at Munich, and Ukrainians who are unjustly threatening to invade their neighbors.
Just goes to prove that not all the American delusional insanity is among Democrats.
But... maybe I'm assuming to much here? ![]()
