Facts: Ukraine is not part of NATO. Unlike Baltic countries, Poland and Romania, Ukraine's indecisive NATO membership application over many years has led to the current situation.

>That is the whole reason the war started, Putin dosent want enemies at their borders. The US already has a border with Russia via Bering Strait. NATO members such as Baltic countries already borders Russia *There's a greater entanglement when polar icecaps melt*.

@umi6376 Around 2009, Russia has sold S300 missiles to Venezuela (near the US backyard) before 2018's Aegis Ashore in Poland. Putin is a hypocrite. The cold war is back.

@tarunkundu9941 >Russia meets EU's 70%demands of Natural gas... FALSE. ----- The United States remained Europe’s top supplier of liquefied natural gas (LNG) in the first 3 months of 2021 as it continued to gain market share at the expense of Russia and Qatar, Europe’s second- and third-largest sources of LNG, according to the EU Commission’s latest European Gas Market Report. The US supplied 24% (4.2 Bcm) of the EU’s overall LNG imports (17 Bcm in Q1 2021); Russia placed second at 21% (3.7 Bcm); and Qatar was third at 18% (3.1 Bcm), the EU Commission reported in early July. When compared to Q4 2020, the US picked up 2% market share from January to March this year, while Russia bested Qatar to become Europe’s second-largest LNG supplier. Nigeria placed fourth, followed by Algeria and Trinidad and Tobago. A review of EU Commission reports dating back to 2019 reveals a steady quarter-to-quarter decline in Europe’s LNG purchases while it also documents the growing rivalry between the US and Russia, Qatar’s fall from dominance, and the emergence of the US as Europe’s top LNG supplier starting Q4 2019. The EU is the world’s third-largest LNG market, though its imports amounted to only about half that of Japan (36 Bcm) and China (32 Bcm) in Q1 2021. European gas consumption rose 7.6% to 132 Bcm in Q1 based on a year-on-year comparison. The commission noted that demand for gas as fuel to generate electricity rose 3.4%, also year-on-year (increasing by 4.9 TWh.) In terms of gas deliveries overall, including pipeline gas, Russia remained the leading gas supplier to Europe (45% of all imports) with the Nord Stream 1 pipeline across the Baltic Sea as its most important supply route. ----- Green policies have caused higher demand for gas.

@zedetach >Wrong it's the fact that they now want to join nato that led to this conflict. It's where Putin drew the line. Wrong. 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. Russia started a series of events that lead to Euromaidan Before Euromaidan, Russia doesn't want Ukraine to sign the EU trade deal. Australia's FTA (free trade agreement) negotiation with the EU is frozen due to AUKUS. LOL UK left the EU and joining CPTPP has proven freedom of association. Australian export trade is not dependent on the EU.

@gizel4376 > and Russian expand to keep Tyrant like the USA away from their border, Bullshit. Anyone who supports the current Russian's view on the two-sphere of influence zones in Europe only continues Nazi Germany-Soviet Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact i.e. the original plan that divides Europe into east/west sphere of influence zones.

@dominohades hen NATO is a hypocrite group of countries, they will not give all in support to ukraine because its not their obligation, FALSE narrative. READ 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.

@fanhan5241 >Ok then let Russia and china build military bases in Mexico to protect Mexico from USA 1. Mexico is already within the USMCA zone. 2. Territorial dispute between Mexico and USA has been solved with a signed treaty. The borders between the US and Mexico are frozen in place.

@Frenkac809 >USA goes around the world destroying countries and overthrowing governments. 1. Iraq invaded Kuwait. 2. Sheikhdom of Kuwait Kuwait was founded in 1613 AD as a fishing village known as Grane (Kureyn). The region soon came under the rule of the Bani Khalid Emirate in 1670 after the expulsion of the Ottomans from Eastern Arabia (Lahsa Eyalet) by Barrack bin Ghurayr, Emir of the Bani Khalid, who successfully besieged the Ottoman governor Umar Pasha who surrendered and gave up his rule as the fourth Ottoman governor of al-Hasa. In 1752, Kuwait became independent after an agreement between the Sheikh of Kuwait and the Emir of Bani Khalid in which Bani Khalid recognised Sabah I bin Jaber's independent rule over Kuwait and in exchange Kuwait would not ally itself or support the enemies of Bani Khalid or interfere in the internal affairs of Bani Khalid in any way. 3. Report: Saudi Arabia Presses U.S. on Overthrowing Saddam Hussein Date: January 19, 1992 <----- From AP NEWS NEW YORK (AP) _ Saudi Arabia is pressuring the Bush administration to secretly arm and give intelligence to Iraqi opposition forces so they can work to overthrow Saddam Hussein, a newspaper reported Sunday. The Saudis want the United States to give arms and intelligence to Kurdish rebels in north Iraq, Shiite Muslim fighters in the south and Sunni Muslim opposition forces in central Iraq, the Times said, quoting U.S. and allied officials it didn’t name. ----- 4. Unlike Russia, the US didn't assimilate Yugoslavia's breakaway countries into the US federal structure.

@Frenkac809 >No other EU country apart from French has any reasonable army and French will not go die for Ukraine people, that would never fly with French public. 19 December 1991: Germany announces that it will recognize Croatia on January 15, 1992, with or without the rest of the European Community. 23 December 1991: Germany becomes the first major power to recognize Croatia and Slovenia as independent states 15 January 1992: The European Community recognizes Slovenia and Croatia. Without NATO (and the U.S.), Germany would have done it alone and we would have another WW1 trigger i.e. Russia would have declared war against Germany as in WWI. Germany used NATO with North America's raw material security guarantees to further its own interest when it failed in WW1's goals. Russia knows the decoupling of North America's raw material security guarantees from mainland Europe will enable Russia to win any war of attrition against Germany! Your narrative is wrong.

@florinrep Around 2009, Russia has sold SU30 fighters and S300 defenciv missiles to Venezuela, hypocrite. Poland's Agreis Ashore was dated 2018. Crying about NATO's 2018 Aegis defenciv missiles in Poland and Romania while sold S300 missiles to Venezuela in 2009 shows that You and Putin are hypocrites. Get educated.
