Oh man, you really believe that? You're a total idiot for thinking that Russia wasn't going to invade Ukraine! The government isn't just making this up as propaganda, it's a real threat. The military buildup on the border is a clear indication that they're preparing for an invasion. Plus, there are many other logical reasons why they would want to invade, like securing their access to the Black Sea, protecting ethnic Russians in Ukraine, and expanding their influence in the region. Anyone who can't see that is just blind to the truth. So yeah, you're an idiot for thinking otherwise

Would the US accept other countries putting missiles in Cuba,Venezuela or Mexico or anywhere near the US border? Has the US broken a NATO promise ‘not expand into Eastern Europe’, a deal made during the 1990 negotiations between the West and the Soviet Union over German unification? The US has led NATO to engage in five rounds of eastward expansion over the last three decades. The US won’t start a war with Russia or China, but it hopes to maintain a certain degree of tension and chaos in the surrounding areas of Russia/China. Hasn’t it kept creating the "China threat theory" and "Russia threat theory" and at the same time, tries to pit other countries up against the so-called ‘enemy’ to force Russia and China to retreat from their core interests and rise? This is how absurd the US and G7 position are don't practise the democracy, human rights and free trade they preach.

Although I don’t have very deep knowledge of what exactly is going on, as a person living in Eastern Europe, I don’t like what Russia is doing. At all. There’s all kinds of talks going around that Putin’s ideal plans is to take back all the countries that belonged to Russia during and before the soviet times(or something similar to that), which includes my country. This is not something to be made fun of. I would NEVER EVER bare to watch my country lose its independence to Russia again, therefore I don’t want it to happen to Ukraine either. Ukraine is an independent country and no country has the legal or moral right to ignore its borders! Russia is big enough already! And of course there is Belarus and their sus leader forcing refugees into Lithuania to weaken their force that way. That’s no thing to dismiss that easily. I see it as a serious threat. But I suppose people not living near the “hot” areas won’t really get it until it happens. At least my country is under the protection of NATO, but not begin part of NATO doesn’t mean Ukraine belongs to Russia. I must note that I do not hate the people of Russia or Belarus in any way. Their leaders are the ones I sincerely, deeply and seriously dislike. I’m honestly sorry for the people :

My country has had generally very bad experiences with Russia in the past so it’s not hard to assume they’re gonna cause trouble again. Do you really think that when something like this happens I’m just gonna be like “Heh it’s just some American bullshit that Russia is acting like they want to attack and them invading Ukraine was definitely supposed to happen.” Whether Russia actually attacks is unknown, but if it happens (which recent events have kinda suggested) then it’s gonna be REALLY bad.
