  1. The double standards of the West in this conflict are staggering. America, along with its partners, has the most prolific record of any country on this planet in terms of actual invasion and/or the overturning of democratically elected governments. What Russia is doing, invading another self-governing, sovereign nation, is wrong, but what about the dozens of times the West has done this? In the last 40 years alone America’s record is: 1. Grenada (1983-1984) 2. Bolivia (1986) 3. Virgin Islands (1989) 4. Liberia (1990; 1997; 2003) 5. Saudi Arabia (1990-1991) 6. Kuwait (1991) 7. Somalia (1992-1994; 2006) 8. Bosnia (1993-) 9. Zaire/Congo (1996-1997) 10. Albania (1997) 11. Sudan (1998) 12. Afghanistan (1998; 2001-) 13. Yemen (2000; 2002-) 14. Macedonia (2001) 15. Colombia (2002-) 16 Pakistan (2005-) 17. Syria (2008; 2011-) 18. Uganda (2011) 19. Mali (2013) 20. Niger (2013) 21. Yugoslavia (1919; 1946; 1992-1994; 1999) 22. Iraq (1958; 1963; 1990-1991; 1990-2003; 1998; 2003-2011) 23. Angola (1976-1992) As far as I can see what Putin and Russia are doing is playing the most commonly-heard tune in the West’s geopolitical songbook.

  2. We have a ‘war on crime’, a ‘war on drugs’, a ‘war on poverty’, a ‘war on terrorism’ and a ‘war on ignorance’ , but what we don’t have is a ‘war on war’. 💣

  3.  @FromthisInstanceOn  The point I was making was that America and her partners have the most egregious record of meddling in the affairs of other sovereign territories, regardless of whether these territories wanted this or not. We cannot be surprised if Putin/Russia moves on a neighbouring country giving strong signals it wants to ally itself with the West and not Russia, that’s all. He’s only doing what the West has done for the past 250 years. If Putin agreed a deal with Canada and/or Mexico to install weapons on their soil directly targeting America, I doubt very much that America wouldn’t act. Therefore, why are we surprised when Putin does what most every other place on this planet would’ve done, given what was transpiring in Ukraine and their direction facing west? It goes without saying, that what Putin is doing is wrong, but it’s understandable, even if you are not Putin.
