It is beyond ironic when Russia invades a peaceful neighbor, then tries to blame ALL the casualties, including incidental civilian ones, on the country they are invading.
Russia has razed Mariupol to the ground, half a million Ukrainians dead or relocated.
NONE of this would have happened if Russia had stayed within their own borders.
Were it not for the deluded, impossible "Russian World' dream, NONE of this had to happen. The "Russian World' delusion MUST DIE in Ukraine.
@DotardTed @EdinEurope Ah, I’m not too worldly. I see “Urals” and see Clint Eastwood flying Firefox through them by mind when he really should be brushing up on his Russian.
You don't have to be too "worldly" to understand this situation.
Just imagine the Soviet Union. That's what Russia wants -- A deluded desire to turn back time.
@DotardTed @EdinEurope I don’t agree. The Russians are trying to stop progress, progression towards globalism in which Russia plays no part except supplying oil.
Putin is forcing multipolarism because he can’t fight for freedom. He fights for Turkey–Russia–Iran vs USA vs China (& all its worldly holdings), because it’s the only way for Russia not to disappear into globalism never to be seen or heard from again.
The US should fight for its freedom even if “freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose”. Russia is doing what’s best for Russia, but, if you were them and had to choose, … [1/1]
I agree, that he can work at all of the above without invading Ukraine and threatening Europe.
He has the freedom, he is supreme dictator of an ancient country much larger than the US. There is nothing to stop him from robbing his country blind, letting his 156 million people live in squalor, most with no plumbing, earning an average of less than $700 a month.
But his rights stop at his border. Ukraine has corruption problems it is trying to solve, Russia should back out!

> He neglects Merkel's statements that the Minsk agreements were only made to buy time to arm Ukraine
And what exactly did Merkel do to arm Ukraine? 🤨
