Putin: ‘They invented that Russia wants to attack NATO. Have you completely lost your minds? Dumb as this table?’

VLADIMIR PUTIN:

‘They invented that Russia wants to attack NATO. Have you completely lost your minds? Dumb as this table? It’s nonsense. Utter rubbish.’

‘It would be rubbish if it wasn’t a plan just to trick their own population by saying ‘Help! Russia is going to attack soon, we must arm ourselves urgently, send weapons to an Ukraine.’ In reality it is done to preserve their own imperial standing and might.’

‘Look at NATO’s potential and Russia’s potential, did you decide we’re crazy or something?’

Maybe Putin should consider keeping his army on his side of the border.

Then this kind of thing wouldn’t happen.

John Bolton swears that Putin wants to reformulate the old Soviet Union, and retake the Warsaw Pact countries.

Maybe the Ukraine should have stopped the shelling of Russian enclaves in Eastern Ukraine, and other persecutions and quit trying to join NATo.

“John Bolton swears that Putin wants to reformulate the old Soviet Union, and retake the Warsaw Pact countries.”

Considering what’s happening in Romania (EU NULLIFIES an election because the ‘wrong’ person won), one could argue that would be an improvement.

Right. It is not like the Russian Empire ever conquered Eastern Europe before.... /S

It is not as if Eastern Europe knows what it is like to be under control of the Russians./S

It is not as if the countries in question had to apply to NATO to join. /S

It is not as if the former East block countries exhibited tremendous increases in freedom and prosperity once they escaped the (Soviet) Russian Empire. /S

The Northern Irish actor James Nesbitt tells the story that when he attended school in England some of his classmates said "Yeah, we know, "Brits Out!". He replied "It's a bit more complicated than that."

Same with Ukraine, Russia, the Catholic west and Orthodox east, Crimea, warm water ports, CIA, Biden and NATO membership, discrimination against Russian speakers, etc. Yes, Putin is a KGB thug and Russia crossed the border like Hitler in '41. But it's a bit more complicated than just that. Trump is trying to stop the killing and avoid much worse. Cheering on a new Somme and Passchendaele meat grinder seems to be what modt of our allies are about.

They don't actually.

Eastern Europe was under Soviet control.

Now, conservative leaders in Eastern Europe like Viktor Orban recognize the EU as the threat to his country, calling the EU a bad parody of the old Soviet Union.

Putin went across that border to protect ethnic Russians being killed by Ukrainians.

The same I will support Trump invading Mexico to protect Americans.

How do you like that?

Maybe POS animal NEOCONs in NATO shouldn’t start a war ON PURPOSE fully knowing that Putin could not let NATO put missiles anywhere on thousands of miles of his country’s land..across the block.

What did you think about that whole Cuba thing?

We maybe shouldn’t have blockaded them?

We should have and we did.

You and I were young men in 1980.

We’re not anymore, let’s not let that ruin the world for the kids

NATO and the U.S., under the control of Bolsheviks hating Russia for abandoning the communist dream of world domination, were coming after Russia and it had to fight to protect itself. Look at what our own country was willing to do to us, its own citizens, what makes you think they would treat Russia kindly?

From the Kremlin:

“Above all, we should acknowledge that the collapse of the Soviet Union was a major geopolitical disaster of the century. As for the Russian nation, it became a genuine drama. Tens of millions of our co-citizens and co-patriots found themselves outside Russian territory. Moreover, the epidemic of disintegration infected Russia itself.”

So it’s OK to kill Russian speaking citizens in Ukraine. That in history is Russia. That is CIA crap trying to start WW3. Come to St Louise. We can meet in an ally for a bit. Let me know when you need an address. I have several of them.
