You simultaneously say Russia is weak and on the verge of collapse, and yet it’s a threat to conquer the entire world, when they have done nothing beyond the borders of the old USSR. Given the fact that Russia has been invaded multiple times throughout their history, and now people like you want to “control” them, they have every reason to be worried about NATO expanding into their former territory.

I’m not a fan of Putin. He’s a thug, but most world leaders are. I have no “goal”, other than keeping the hell out of it. If the Ukrainians value their independence they are capable of defending it themselves.

I didn't say that they are on the verge of collapse, they are vastly weaker than they were when they were a massive and evil empire when I was last in the military and part of NATO, and they talked like you still do now, calling resistance to their invasions and conquest, "controlling" them.

You do have a side as Russia moves to empire, you support it.

You are calling for the free world to stay out of them reconquering "Soviet Territory, which of course includes many NATO countries.

"So if we don’t “control” Russia and determine what happens in former Soviet territory, we’re surrendering? That’s insane."
