I agree the devil we know…., so, and this is a serious question for you. What should have been the western response to the Russian invasion?
Easy answer. Ukraine is NONE OF AMERICA’S BUSINESS.
It has no strategic value to the USA and is not a member of NATO.
Democracy? There is nothing democratic about Ukraine. Zelensky is a ruthless dictator who outlawed his opposition and jails his opponents. He shut down TV stations and print media disagreeing with him and has recently raided Orthodox churches he considers friends of Russians.
America has close friendships with many countries NOT DEMOCRACIES.
America’s involvement in Ukraine is tied to the country’s role as a massive money-laundering operation for corrupt American politicians. The people of Ukraine are dying by the tens of thousands and American leaders are making sure they do.
America should have stayed out of the Ukrainian mess and never funded any of the slaughter.
—> What should have been the western response to the Russian invasion?
The west should not have lied to Putin about the Minsk accords, or continually pushed further toward Russia, shouldn’t have advocated ukraine get nukes, or join NATO, and the west could have resolved all that peacefully in international forums. They purposefully did not.
Putin is evil. So are the people pushing ukraine into this.
Each step of the pay, starting in 2014, the west has acted in a way that will likely produce WWIII, and a military alliance between China and Russia and Iran.
And the dethroning of the dollar as the reserve currency.
After the invasion, the west… if they had real leaders… should’ve immediately pushed for a ceasefire and resolved longstanding grievances that were never addressed. Instead, they pushed war.
Trite question assuming that the invasion just fell out of the clear blue sky. We pushed, created, funded, and nurtured this war. Then when it happened, people like you clutch their packs and act like you have no idea where it came from.
The actual answer would have been not to have spent a device decade I this war of convenience DC and the globalists wanted.
