Always start with the 3rd Act, forget Joe Biden’s 2014 illegal deepstate coup (Act 1), ignore the 8 years of ethnic cleansing and 14,000 killed in the Donbas (Act 2).

It is widely accepted that the Ukrainian crisis erupted into a military conflict on February 24, 2022, with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the seeds of the hostilities were planted about thirty years earlier by President Clinton and, later, by George W. Bush, both of whom recklessly pushed for NATO’s eastward expansion.

For the sake of the comment I’m about to make, assume that the U.S. is a rational country with a backbone, not the spineless, woke, moral cesspool that it actually is today.
What do you suppose we would do if the CCP decided that it wanted to make Mexico a Chinese protectorate and started arming it? And to make a closer comparison, imagine that northern Mexico was English-speaking and had more historically and culturally in common with the U.S. than with Mexico. Assume further that Mexico, emboldened by China’s backing, started making increasingly belligerent statements toward the U.S., and that China and North Korea started threatening openly to overthrow our government?
Again, assuming a rational and serious U.S., I think we would first warn both China and Mexico, and then when they responded by further ramping up their rhetoric, we would flatten Mexico to eliminate the threat and to send a message to its more powerful enabler in China. And when Mexico and China reacted not by backing off, but by marshaling the global financial system to try to destroy our economy?…Mexico would rightfully get flattened even harder, along with overt and covert actions being taken against China itself.
Sound familiar?
People make the same analogy about Japan attacking Pearl Harbor.
Russia is definitely an aggressor.
Russia is definitely an aggressor.
Well, there are no major Russian insurgent groups in Finland yet, if that is what you mean.
This perverse set of views assumes that Russia and Putin are entitled to dominate and exploit nearby countries as they wish. So Ukraine, too bad that Russia is your neighbor and guaranteed your borders and sovereignty. Russia and Putin will do as they wish and carve off the bits they covet and direct your affairs. And any country that disagrees with Russia is an aggressor.
You bet, not one more dollar or weapon of ours should ever cross our border.
Yep, I was waiting for that.
Author forgets that Putin had, already, invaded Ukraine 7 years earlier and occupied their territory.
Even Putin's boy Yanukovich, talked about joining NATO.
Putin, himself, asked to join NATO.
Absolutely true. NATO and we have been the aggressors in Ukraine since at least 2014.
Oh right. So you think maybe the US should attack Mexico or Canada?
More Kremlin propaganda.

If they join NATO, it is possible. I hope Mexico never joins Russia military pact.
looking back it becomes obvious that during GHW Bush’s presidency we took a turn toward globalsim and a deliberate effort to weaken the United States. Since then every president but Trump has had basically the same agenda. If a country isn’t globalist primarily over throw them.
The Russians use so many Chechens, Buryats, and those from far flung areas that it is often Ukrainian White Christians verses Mohammedans, Atheists, and Russian convicts.
The 2014 invasion of the Donbas started with just Mafia tactics, agents, and the fake separatist movement. It didn’t work so troops had to be sent in too.
They already are in NATO.
