Western countries have never used famine as a weapon now have they.A lot of people of Irish ancestry, might beg to differ. Britain still occupies part of Ireland.

The leftists actually insisted on a panel to consider “bias”: https://www.nytimes.com/1986/09/24/movies/tv-reviews-firing-line-discussion-on-harvest-of-depression.html

I’m sure we will soon have a bunch of Russian apologists saying in turn:
1) It never happened
2) If it did happen in wasn’t Russia’s fault
3) Even if it was Russia’s fault it was deserved because the Ukrainians wanted to join NATO

It’s a matter of fact that everything the oh so pious West is raking Russia for, they have done themselves many times over.

The results of Putin’s actions will be much worse.

The Ukraine should not have given up their nukes for useless promises. Too bad. America and its current condition cannot take on a major war. We are in a cold civil war here at home with the Biden Regime.

Based on what I'm hearing today, I guess FDR should have attacked Stalin in 1933...

Is this the same Stalin that invaded and annexed the Eastern 1/3 of Poland and called it “Ukraine”?

Why not give it back, and call it a day?

If the West hadn’t isolated the Soviet Union over its embracing of communism it wouldn’t have happened.

And how many Americans have ever heard of the Holomodor? probably 5%? Why is that? Why does the media refuse to ever talk about this genocide?

An often overlooked factor in Russian imperialism is that it was largely land based. The pommies, Spanish, Frogs, Dutch etc preferred to go thousands of miles over the oceans to subjugate. Wasn’t anything left for Russkies. Well Alaska and some Islands nth of Japan.

Yes.

Ukraine should never willingly go under Russian authority ever.

I understand while they will fight with no surrender.
