@savanahmclary4465 >China is controling the Biden Administration's through the UN for Opec. FALSE. OPEC is another issue separate from Biden's China interest.

@georgewashington90 >Fallow money and you find USA Satan behind Ukrainian war. Before Euromaidan, Russia, however, has successfully used political and economic leverage to dissuade Ukraine from signing the E.U. deal. In the months prior to the Vilnius summit, Russian President Vladimir Putin engaged in a trade war with Kiev, blocking nearly all imports from Ukraine and cutting energy supplies to the country. In turn, this reduced Ukrainian exports by 25 percent and shrank the economy by 1.5 percent. Hypocrite.

@hankscorpion9939 >NATO clearly wants to keep the threat of both Ukraine and Georgia joining, Which would bring NATO right up to Russia's borders at multiple points, putting Russia in an indefensible position if a general war was to occur 1. Your argument is Russian 1st instead of the Three Seas Initiative member countries' interest. Finland is not part of NATO but has purchased medium-range strike missiles from Israel. Estonia has purchased medium-range strike missiles from Israel. Poland's PAC3 purchase comes with Israel's Stunner interceptor missiles. Have you noticed the pattern? Since Russia is playing "the Great Game" in the Middle East at the expense of Israel, Israel will also sell its missiles to Russia's neighbors. 2. Russia has nukes to guarantee its Russian Federation territory. 3. Until the US funds its US Army at a similar level as US Navy or USAF, the US is largely a marine power. Russia is mostly a land power.

@UCp46qa-Ww80lUKV8BvAB3PA >, Trump took the USA out of UN, NATO and WTO etc FALSE, Trump took the US out of WHO (World Health Organization), NOT UN. FALSE, Trump complains about NATO members not reaching NATO's 2 percent of GDP guideline. The US did NOT exit NATO. FALSE, Trump has imposed tariffs against CHina and Biden has continued them. Trump's tariffs against China are based on Federal Trade Commission's determination against China. US is still a WTO member. Trump took the US out of TPP, which indirectly created CPTPP that created preferential trade relationships among its members. With the UK joining CPTPP, it creates a preferential trade relationship akin to pre-WW1 British Empire + Japan. Stupid Trump. With the UK joining CPTPP, it encapsulates the CANZUK group (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, United Kingdom), 3 Commonwealth members, and Japan.

@navygirlav2012 >Poland gave up their nukes too and U.S. is supposed to protect them...is Poland next? Poland has no nuclear weapons in its history. For Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum context, Russia, the US, and the UK confirmed their Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would: 1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders. 2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine. 3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics. 4. Seek immediate Security Council action to provide assistance to Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used". 5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine. 6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents. Russia has exited Budapest Memorandum. The US and UK are fulfilling points 4 and 6 in accordance with Ukraine's Budapest Memorandum. Budapest Memorandum's security assurances are weaker than NATO's Article V and EU's Article 42.7.

@jondeibe2294 1. 1863–1864 January uprising, Russian Empire crushed Polish, Lithuanian, and Ukrainian insurgents uprising. 2. Soviet–Ukrainian War occurred between 1917 to 1921, a war between the Ukrainian People's Republic vs the Bolsheviks i.e. Ukrainian Soviet Republic and Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic (modern-day Russian Federation). 3. 2014, Russo-Ukrainian War. March 1, 2014, the Federation Council of the Russian Federation unanimously adopted a resolution to petition Russian President Vladimir Putin to use military force in Ukraine. Ukrainian People's Republic is the modern-day Ukraine. These are "old world" issues that existed before the US being a superpower.

@jondeibe2294 >Also them: Russia, China, and others don't get to do this in Mexico. Finland is NOT part of NATO but has purchased medium-range strike missiles from Israel. Estonia has purchased medium-range strike missiles from Israel. Poland's PAC3 purchase comes with Israel's Stunner interceptor missiles. Have you noticed the pattern? Since Russia is playing "the Great Game" in the Middle East at the expense of Israel, Israel will also sell its missiles to Russia's neighbors. You are demanding the US to exit out of defense agreements with South Korea, the Phlippines and Japan to serve the interst of China. Reminder, Russia already risked world peace by stationing their warships just outside non-NATO member Australia's EEZ during the 2014 G20 meeting. Unlike the Black Sea with NATO defense treaty allies, Russia has no defense treaty allies around Australia. In 2022, Russia did a similar activity near non-NATO member Ireland's waters. Russia was meddling in Australia's Antarctica interest that caused Australia to enlist EU support. Russia was meddling in New Zealand's Antarctica interest that caused New Zealand to enlist US support.
