Funding the WHOLE operation is almost as sickening.
UKR itself was eliminating those territories bordering Russia, for the usual CASH benefit of only the US & our subordinate Nato mules.
Russia was having none of it, as WE had none of it, over the Cuban Missile crisis against USSR.
It’s exasperating to argue Facts against 1950’s thinking.
FWIW the Cuban Missile Crisis came about because the Russians were responding to the provocation of American IRBMs based in Turkey. Shortly after the Russian missiles were removed from Cuba, the American missiles were quietly removed from Turkey.
You probably didn’t learn about that in government school/college. I know I didn’t.
