Renting space for that nation’s security is not an empire, do you really think that having a few advisors helping a country means we own it and take its resources and enslave its people?

Empire is more like what Russia does, conquer to own and enslave into an empire, which Russia rules with rulers for life.

Look at the nations that just escaped the Russian empire and what life for them was like, and why they sought to join NATO.

There is no need for us to get involved in what is a unresolved Cold War drama between the USA and Russia. It is nothing to do with us what goes on in Russia or Ukraine. Let Europe handle...

Does Europe think since the shale gas worth $10Billion in Donestk/ Donbass deal was signed in 2013 between Royal Dutch Shell and Kiev that they’re going to somhow get that land back under Ukrains Gov?
