Because Russia has long since scaled back from world domination but the Chinese are just now scaling up to attempt itI don't get why current conservative thinking is, Russia is okay, but China, no they are bad..
One is a much more existential threat than the other
All this stuff we have sent, is worth it.
We are giving ole Putin and the Commuist Heathen Ruskies a massive headache that will last 20 years. Without putting US lives at risk.
That's on Putin. He started it. How many would be dead if he occupied the country?70,000 dead Ukrainians, 120,000 wounded.
What do you think, worth it?
To whom? I'd fight to the death to defend my homeland. The Russia apologists here are free to place their own value on their sovereignty and either fight or bend over, as they see fit, with regards to whether defending your homeland is worthwhile.70,000 dead Ukrainians, 120,000 wounded.
What do you think, worth it?
Interesting choice of words. You realize this is a defensive war for Russia, or are you paid not to?To whom? I'd fight to the death to defend my homeland.
The best friend of the president looked Mikhail Gorbachev in the eye and said NATO will move not one inch eastward. And that's sort of factually accurate in a narrow sense, but it doesn't reflect the reality that we're creating.
He means Ukrainian refugees are terror cells in waiting, meant to blackmail the Europeans into continuing to fund the war.what could he mean by this

I thought the coup started it, with Victoria Nuland handing out cookies? I mean they did overthrow an elected president and choose the new leader(as in the USA choose per the leaked call of Victoria Nuland with the famous FK the EU line). Then the civil war started 14k+ casualties 9k+ of which were civilians according to UN observers before Putin invaded. So to say Putin started it...meh.That's on Putin. He started it. How many would be dead if he occupied the country?
Yep. The correct nomenclature is that Putin ENTERED the war in 2022.I thought the coup started it with Victoria Nuland handing out cookies?

The United States government has become too corrupt and irrational to be trusted on policy, domestic or international. Can anyone really blame Putin for not wanting American facilities on his border?
Once upon a time America had a problem with Soviet facilities on its border.

Hahahahahaha. A defensive war for Russaia? Hahahaha. Right. That's why Russia invaded Ukraine. Right.Interesting choice of words. You realize this is a defensive war for Russia, or are you paid not to?
You know damn well that there would have been expert analysts with degrees from Tartary University on INGO saying exactly that, if the internet and forum would have existed in 1939.Hahahahahaha. A defensive war for Russaia? Hahahaha. Right. That's why Russia invaded Ukraine. Right.
By your standard, Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1939 was a defensive war for Germany. Hitler's invasions of Denmark, Norway, Netherlands, Belgium, Luxembourg and France in 1940 were all defensive wars for Germany.
