<<Putin’s war in Ukraine was supposed to make Russia a superpower again. It was meant to cement his legacy as the man who restored Russia's historic empire, making him the czar of a new, stronger, feared Russia.>>
This is CIA-inspired tripe. Russia has been forced for decades to respond to the US proxy war via Ukraine, with the same force it had to respond to earlier aggressors like Napoleon and Hitler. Go to youtube and google Jeffrey Sachs, Douglas MacGregor, John Mearsheimer, Scott Ritter, Ben Norton, etc. Given the long ongoing saber-rattling by the US and Europe, Russia has very legitimate interest in keeping NATO missile and military bases far from its borders.
With respect, that's Kremlin-inspired tripe. It was Russian aggression that started this war. Trump's wavering notwithstanding, Russia's invasion has united NATO and pushed Ukraine toward the West. For all Putin's talk about buffers, he's actually reduced the distance between Russia and NATO.
If you don't want to be so close to your neighbor, don't pitch a tent in his front yard.
I agree. If anyone thinks Sweden and Poland and nearly every country near Russia wants to invade it ... that's nonsensical. They've joined together for exactly what we're seeing, Russia invading a neighbor every time it gets settled.
It's not about "invading" or "nearly every country." It's about who controls NATO and who engineered the Maidan coup and who scuttled pre-2023 Ukraine-Russia negotiations. Answer:______________?
"United NATO"? Do know how many NATO countries already have said they will not contribute to the EU's plan to intervene more (ca. $800B) to militarize the region and keep Zelensky, again, from going to the negotiating table?
I think the Russians (Putin or anyone else would make no difference) have a moral duty to defend the Russians living in the Donbass territory, given to the Kyevan government by Lenin, that have been persecuted by the Kyevan government since 2014 on orders from the USA former government in order to provoke the intervention of the Russians and possibly arrive at an active war against Russia.
see.. the Battalion Azov massacre in Odessa..
Too bad Americans have elected Trump and all their plans have been trown in the air..
That's like saying the Mexican government has a moral duty to defend Mexican-Americans in Arizona. Borders matter -- they're not just arbitrary boundaries to be adjusted based on demographics and power.
Well put. A shame that the thousands of young men had to die for his ego. Russia is and always has been a mystery. Plenty of resources, plenty of people, and yet always second best. The "meat wall" was how they prevailed in WWII, and they're using it again. There has to be a better solution for both Russia and Ukraine that to kill several generations of their men.
If you still believe that Russia started this conflict in 2022...
If you don’t know who Victoria Nuland is, or what she was doing in Ukraine in 2014, then you have no idea what’s going on.
The Deep State started this war. It was the Obama CIA/State Dept that funded Nazi militant groups to start a civil war in Ukraine, and initiated regime change to a CIA/State Dept puppet, Yatseniuk.
This was all revealed in the leaked phone call between State Dept diplomats and Deep State agents, Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt.
After the Maidan coup in February 2014, the US CIA/State Dept owned Ukraine via proxy, and the CIA began using Ukraine as a giant offshore playground for criminal racketeering and money laundering. Ukraine became one giant CIA base, directly on Russia’s border.
Then the US/NATO began building up Ukraine’s army for the sole purpose of one day fighting Russia. The US/NATO began supplying Ukraine with weapons, equipment, missiles, training, intelligence, etc.
Covert elements within the US government, along with their European partners in NATO, used espionage to overthrow and take control of the nation of Ukraine, then built a massive standing army on Russia’s border, then tried to bring Ukraine into NATO, and thus start WW3.
If you are still buying the official MSM narrative about this conflict, you should not be engaged in conversations.
Everything the MSM told you about Ukraine/Russia has been a lie, and in many cases, the inverse of the truth.
This is an excellent analysis from a perspective we'll never see in the corporate media.
I don't know, but all I see is
US/NATO tanks burning
US/NATO aircraft conspicuously absent
NATO leaders with their daily 2-minutes hate against Russia
US/NATO begging Putin for a cease fire.
If that's Putin "losing", I'm sure he's happy to continue losing. Whatever gets the job done.

Yes-as long as Ukraine gets armed to the teeth and can resist future Russian aggression.

no, because the USA is big and strong and Mexico is weak.... whereas Russia is big and strong and Ukraine is weak..
might is right...
unless Germany intervenes to "defend" Ukraine... which brings back memories...
