    When President Obama placed sanctions on Russia, their economy was crippled and third world dictator, Vlad Putin, was too impotent to war. Then Vlad ordered traitor trump to lift the sanctions. Traitor trump, being a weak and submissive president, did as ordered and now here we are.

    Orwell saw Russia for what it is and has masterfully depicted it in „1984”. War is peace, ignorance is enlightenment, slavery is freedom, invasion is liberation…Soldiers with Russian badges, Russian weapons, on Russian vehicles with badly painted over logos of Russian military units, that speak Russian with a Moscow accent and or other accepts of Russia, or have asian appearance, that say that they are from Russia when they are captured, that are registered as Active Russian soldiers and post photos on their social media from Russia and from occupied territory of Ukraine with Russian weapons, vehicles in Russian uniform …are not Russian because they Don’t have badges Toth a Russian flag… 🤦‍♂️ Russi has invaded and occupied parts of Ukraine in 2014 and to this day are waging a war against it. Russia has consistently been lying about their presence n Ukraine despite growing evidence base gathered by independent journalists from all around the world, international organisations and intelligence agencies of different countries.

    I don't really understand why Russia "fears" NATO expansion. NATO countries haven't conquered any territory, they're just allowing new members to join when asked. NATO has never made a threat of conquest on any nation. What does Russia think that Ukraine joining NATO will do? It just means having one less nation Russia can push around with military threats. Contrast this with Russia marching troops into Crimea and holding guns to the locals while holding a "referendum" to be annexed. Countries that join NATO have just as much self determination and freedom as before.

America is a representative democracy but also a criminal mind plagued by recurring periods of fascist- supremacist expression in the Mussolini/ Black Shirts mold (who, IN TRUMP FINALLY ELECTED THEIR PRESIDENT). Visionary Chief Seattle (c. 1786 - June 7, 1866) Suquamish and Duwamish Chief "The whites, too, shall pass - perhaps sooner than other tribes. Continue to contaminate your bed and you will one night suffocate in your own waste". (From Chief Seattle's cultural understanding, the Anglo is a debased, degraded human, his bed contaminated with his own 'waste', in which he remains - and in which he will eventually suffocate). PRESIDENT LINCOLN ON THE AMERICAN REALITY "The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace, and conspire against it in times of adversity. They are more despotic than monarchy and more insolent than autocracy. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my people, my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption will follow and the money powers of the country will endeavor and prolong its reign by working upon the innocence of the people, until the wealth is aggregated into a few hands and the republic is destroyed." (This has only progressed). John F. Kennedy 7 days before his Assassination. "There’s a plot in this country to enslave every man, woman and child. Before I leave this high and noble office, I intend to expose this plot." (Today, the NSA and sectors of the military- industrial complex are involved in this plot, in Black Sites operated within the U.S. See 'Signature Reduction' by Vigo Bruun on amazon ebooks). Martin Luther King "The United States is the world’s greatest purveyor of violence". (Wars of atrocity, Black Ops, False Flag, 'setting one against another', overthrowing democracies/ facilitating fascist dictatorships, training of fascist death squads, theft of trillions of dollars of resources, deception, falsification narratives, atrocities: Iona Craig on The Intercept; Murder at Camp Delta; X 10, 000.)

Funny how the West media never ever mention that Agreement prior to the dis intergaration of the former USSR was that Russia will withdraw all it's force from East Germany and other Baltic states and in return NATO would not make those free country into NATO members and US actually agrees to this. Funny how our government never kept it words and continue to march toward the the door step of Russia. Now who is really destabilizing the world. Don't give me the idea, all free countries has the right to choose. There is no free country, unless you are not part of NATO. Once you are in NATO, there is no way out and you will continue to buy US manufactured weapons. A weapon that is not use is a useless weapon and American IMC will make sure they are global conflicts. Without it, they is not use for buying/selling instrument of death.

    Those are Russian borders you dolt. There is only one Russian border. I never heard a country which had two seperate borders with its neighbours. Like a wall. You understand a wall. There is only one wall one border one fence. It's like guarding your house. Do you have a house? Does your neighbour come to you and say why are you guarding your house? Does he say remove your security because you are threatening me? The western argument is stupid. It's like asking someone to not defend themselves because defending is somehow offending. Russians soldiers are on their own soil. Like some American soldiers on their own soil except they are on other people's soils for most of their life or on some different continent. The concept of being on one's own territory is somehow alien to the American population in general because they're generally deployed in foreign countries. So they can't fathom how is Russian army is in its own borders and soil. I emphathize with Americans. An average American knows more about defending DEMOCRACY of other countries than caring for its own. America is a global hegemon and likes to destabilize and destroy other countries so when it sees Russia it can see its own reflection an it doesn't like its own reflection because it's dirty. So Russia is defending it's borders against a global hegemon and wrestling with its various tentacles aka Allies. So NATO is on other people's soil and asking Russia to not be on its own soil I don't think Russians would want to be driven off their own country.

The Germans are energy dependent on Russia, I don’t see the UK or France as concerned on as high of a level due to their geographical distance, and I highly doubt the US would go to war over Ukraine. So who then at NATO is driving these ambitions? For that matter, if the US wouldn’t go to war over Ukraine, would the rest of NATO do so without the US? I doubt it.

The irony is that Russia's saber-rattling only drives its neighbors towards NATO. Even Sweden and Finland, which were able to maintain neutrality throughout the Cold War, have been seriously talking about NATO membership because Russia keeps threatening them.

    Russia’s long-fought battle over Ukraine has claimed thousands of lives and has incurred heavy losses to international diplomacy. Like every other existing conflict, this one too has ended in a stalemate with the West blaming Kremlin’s harsh policies that have pushed Ukraine towards the Western bloc. Ukraine sees an alliance with the West necessary for its security against Russia. Russia, on the other hand, disputes the increasing NATO presence along regions like the Baltic states, which pose a threat to Russia’s dominance in the region. Whether or not Russia’s claim to Ukraine is justified is an increasingly complex question but in case of an invasion, the world will surely see far-reaching and long-lasting effects.

    War is the clearest sing of how primitive a society is.

    Peace comes by war. The technology you enjoy came by war. War is sometimes necessary. For life, there must be death. "Then die!" I could see that move a mile away, liberals who TAKE OUT OF CONTEXT.

    @@scintillam_dei although I agree with everything you said. I do think there is a fundamental problem with us Americans... there’s nothing or no one dividing us but ourselves. The liberal remark you made wasn’t necessary... coming from a libertarian. Anywho, I’m glad that I’m not the only one who knows that much of the thing we have come from war. That being said, I think it’s about time we get into another war, that actually will reach American soil. Us Americans need to learn what it was like to get bombed, just look at Europe and japan. From the looks of it, it’s rather peaceful there, and the people are responsible and respectful. I know I just sounded like an idiot considering the topic, but there’s no shootings we hear of, (even in the euro countries that actually allows you to have a gun) people don’t set fire to family owned businesses, people aren’t angry for no apparent reason. (At least in my experience in foreign countries)

    What a naive statement, where were y’all during the Syrian war ? The cradle of civilization with the 2 oldest cities ? I see a lot of ppl mocking Syria’s situation on tiktok saying like « Syria city = 💥» Syria, the mother of lands was mocked this way ? It was bombed as hell by turkey since 2011, turkey who send Isis and al qaida fighters for their interests agaisnt Assad and Kurds.And you expect peace in the world ??
