If Russia were that worried about NATO they wouldn't have drawn down all of their troops bordering NATO countries and sent them to Ukraine. It's all about the oil and natural gas under those regions. Russia can't allow Ukraine to develop it's oil and gas or it will usurp Russia's European marketplace.How would the US respond if Russia and China started amassing troops and infrastructure in Mexico?
Russia has always been very clear about what they would do if nato tried to engulf them. NATO did it anyway.
This is all theater of the absurd.
The west created this conflict and you are buying their framing of it.
We started this shit. Nobody is saying Russia are the good guys here, but you need to understand that they aren't the bad guys either. I don’t think they had much of a choice in their actions, they had to back up what they'd been saying for years. NATO/The West kept pushing and pushing. Any reasonable leader would push back hard.
Do you not worry that this is exactly what will happen if Russia wins Ukraine?How would the US respond if Russia and China started amassing troops and infrastructure in Mexico?
Russia has made very clear, for decades, that they will not tolerate nato/western aligned military attempting to surround them.
I'm not Russian apologist, but the west has been spitting in their face and saying "do something about it, bitch."
They did something.
We have no actual reason to be involved in this at all, except for politicians that have heavily invested in the compromised Ukraine and NATO who doesn't seem to understand the word "consequences".
This is an attempt by the "West" to reset the board and if Americans continue to go along with it their sons and daughters will die in a pointless war.
Its pretty fucking simple when you remove estrogen from the equation
People have been fighting over that land since before the vikings got thereDo you not worry that this is exactly what will happen if Russia wins Ukraine?
hahaEstrogen? Lol
How does that have anything to do with how Russia will profit by winning control over it now?People have been fighting over that land since before the vikings got there
Because it's will always be a region in turmoil, "we" aren't solving shit. This is all manipulation and we can't tip the scales forever. We have our own problems and the solutions for them are internal. We are crumbling yet all our resources are going to external conflicts and culture bending.How does that have anything to do with how Russia will profit by winning control over it now?
We are weak as a nation right now. That is why Russia is banking on us to back down.Because it's will always be a region in turmoil, "we" aren't solving shit. This is all manipulation and we can't tip the scales forever. We have our own problems and the solutions for them are internal.

Its all preposterous.
We (the west) literally willed this conflict into being.
To what end? What's the point?
