  1. Ukrainian troops left reviews on google for shops restaurants etc they came over in Russian territory. It's funny to read. "Great food but not enough parking for our tanks." "The employees even speak Ukrainian." "They accept payment in ukrainian Hryvnias." "They have the tools I needed to fix my tank. On my way to Moscow now." . !!!

  4. IF IT WAS NOT FOR THE WEST RUSSIA WILL HAVE BEEN  TAKEN BY THE NAZIS IN 1941 Much of the logistical assistance of the Soviet military was provided by hundreds of thousands of U.S.-made trucks and by 1945, nearly a third of the truck strength of the Red Army was U.S.-built. Trucks such as the Dodge 3⁄4-ton and Studebaker 2+1⁄2-ton were easily the best trucks available in their class on either side on the Eastern Front. American shipments of telephone cable, aluminum, canned rations and clothing were also critical.[43] Lend-Lease also supplied significant amounts of weapons and ammunition. The Soviet air force received 18,200 aircraft, which amounted to about 30 percent of Soviet wartime fighter and bomber production (mid 1941–45).[35] Most tank units were Soviet-built models but about 7,000 Lend-Lease tanks (plus more than 5,000 British tanks) were used by the Red Army, eight percent of war-time production.

  6. Examining the Former Weapons Inspector: Who Is Scott Ritter? Scot Ritter is a ex con has served time in jail for engaging into sexual conduct with a 15 year old girl !!! penalty Sentence of 1½ to 5½ years in prison in 2011 Criminal status now Paroled in 2014 The charges was Sex offences (unlawful contact with a minor, corruption of minors, indecent exposure) also Ritter was the subject of police sting operations for sex crimes in 2001 and 2009, and was convicted of sex crimes involving a minor in 2011,, ALSO UNDERSTAND During the 2022 invasion of Ukraine, Ritter wrote a series of opinion pieces for Russian state media outlet RT. So Ritter (Ratter ) has NO credibility at all he is a person of low moral standards at best .. He is for fact a paid propagandist for Russian state controlled RT News !! SO RITTER (RATTER ) HAS NO CREDIBILITY

  7. Tulsi Gabbard  IS GOOD FRIENDS with Putins boy Syrian president Bashar al-Assad !!!  Tulsi Gabbard back in January 2017 had more then one unplanned meeting with Syrian president Bashar al-Assad. and In April 2017, Gabbard expressed skepticism about claims that Assad used chemical weapons against civilians in Khan Shaykhun, and which were followed a military attack against Syria, to stop the genocide back up by Russia done by Putins boy Syrian president Bashar al-Assad-- Tulsi Gabbard, Trump's pick to lead the US national intelligence, hailed as Russia's “comrade” by Kremlin's state media. Investigations have found that both the Syrian government of Bashar al-Assad and ISIL militants have used chemical weapons, with the majority of attacks being carried out by the Syrian government. In 2014, the OPCW Fact-Finding Mission in Syria concluded the use of chlorine was systematic and widespread. In a 2018 interview with The Nation, Gabbard said the United States had "been waging a regime change war in Syria since 2011 (like it was taking out of KREMLIN propganda handbook ) Gabbard criticized the U.S. military's 2020 Baghdad International Airport airstrike (which killed high-level Iranian General Qasem Soleimani) as an act of war by President Trump and a violation of the U.S. Constitution, arguing that the president did not have congressional authorization for this act. IS THIS THE WOMAN TRUCKER AND FOX ARE KISSING UP TO !! A USFULL IDIOTTOOL OF RUSSIA AND ASSAD !!

  9. IT WAS RUSSIA AND THE NAZI THAT STARTED WW2 TOGETHER IN 1939 BY INVEDING POLAND AND SPLITTING IT UP BETWEEN THEMSELVES "Devils’ Alliance: Hitler’s Pact With Stalin, 1939-1941," a book by historian Roger Moorhouse that's due out this fall. “In fact, the Nazi-Soviet Pact as the kick-off for World War II is probably the most surprising scenario that anyone could have imagined," Moorhouse says. "That’s how you have to view it from the perspective of August 1939. The world was absolutely dumbstruck by this deal.” Those twin agreements did in fact set the stage for the start of World War II. Within days of signing the pacts, now confident that the Soviets would not oppose him, Hitler invaded Poland. Britain and France declared war on Germany, and the war was underway. The Soviet Union invaded Poland from the east to grab its share of the spoils. In 1940 it followed up by occupying Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania and the Romanian province of Bessarabia. Britain and France protested, but with their forces already taking on Germany, they couldn't afford to fight Stalin as well. https://www.pri.org/stories/2014-08-21/pact-between-hitler-and-stalin-paved-way-world-war-ii-was-signed-75-years-ago

  10. Between Assad losing Syria, NATO adding Finland and Sweden, Russia losing tens of thousands of soldiers to a war it wasn't prepared for and thousands of prime skilled workers to emigration, and the money it's poured into a fruitless slaughterfest...I don't know how anyone can say Russia is truly "winning" right now even if they do get some more land in Ukraine. The truth about Russia and Russians is Lenin’s principle: probe with bayonets; ….. “Putin bases his policies on Lenin’s principle: probe with bayonets; if you encounter mush, proceed; if you encounter steel, withdraw,” Putin has encountered mush for the last seven years, never steel, and that’s why he continues to challenge the United States and Europe time after time.”

  11. For centuries, Russia has seen itself as one of the world's great powers. This superpower Russia status idea myth, seen by most of the world is now become a declining idea and the world is now seeing that Russia is not and has never been any super power; More and more ppl. now understand that Russia has only been masquerading as a "SUPER POWER " the Kremlin has been presenting itself as one and hiding behind the Myth of super power status; And even for some time the kremlin themself (one can argue) started to believe in their own lies, their own myth making and their own propaganda ! BUT AFTER UKRIANE THIS MYTH IS BUSTED !! Russia: has only $1.48 trillion annual GDP that makes Russia about the same size economically on the level of Spain if your economy is as small as Spain how can you think even for one min you are some sort of super power, that has some spacial right to be seen on the same level as UK, US , or even China ??? Let's look at some fact here: Russia is closer to Indonesia and Australia economically, than it is UK , Germany , France US or Japan .. !! And when it comes to having nukes dose that make you a super power, well UK and France has nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) as well and so does North Korea and even israel is claimed to have nuclear weapons, is North Korea or UK and France Super powers becouse they have nuclear weapons ??? 1. United States: $20.89 trillion 2. China: $14.72 trillion 3. Japan: $5.06 trillion 4. Germany: $3.85 trillion 5. United Kingdom: $2.67 trillion 6. India: $2.66 trillion 7. France: $2.63 trillion 8. Italy: $1.89 trillion 9. Canada: $1.64 trillion 10. South Korea: $1.63 trillion 11. Russia: $1.48 trillion 12. Brazil: $1.44 trillion 13. Australia: $1.32 trillion 14. Spain: $1.28 trillion 15.

  14. Former President, (Putin's boy) Mr . Viktor Yanukovych . After he fled to Putin with billions of stolen money the Kremlin-backed politician and his cronies (made away with $40 billion in state Ukrainian assets disappear ) the idea that he remained the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state, and therefore the manner in which he was replaced was automatically illegitimate is based on those facts that Mr. Yanukovych COMMITTED outright theft for state funds and ran off to Russia with it shows 3 things 1. It proves he was and is a Russian puppet ( its funny when Russian falsely cries foul and say zeleniski is a USA puppet) 2. He ran off by his own accord to his master in moscow abandoning his position and therefore also any legitimate claim to the office of being the president ---- 3. So this facts is clear evidence there was no coup d'etat Let’s look at Ukraine’s disgraced former president, the legitimately elected Victor Yanukovych. After Victor Yanukovych he fled to Russia the idea that he remained the legitimate head of state, and therefore the manner in which he was replaced was automatically illegitimate, was commonplace. This line of thinking was heavily promulgated by his new host country for reasons that are self-evident. But was it right, or even logical, to claim this? The legitimacy of the Yanukovych regime indeed began with a fair election, albeit an election in which the Ukrainian people had no good choices. But could that legitimacy go on unquestioned despite the blatant grand scale theft of state resources? No. Of course it could not. Common hooligans and thugs were brought to Kyiv by the Yanukovych authorities (first recorded on Nov. 29, 2013 when the Maydan demonstrations was just a few days old) to terrorize the residents of the capital. This acts was completely in contradiction to Article 3 of the constitution that Yanukovych was elected to uphold. It was right to question Yanukovych’s legitimacy after this. Can the legitimacy of a ruling authority survive past the blatantly illegal adoption of laws designed to end democracy and create a dictatorship? No. Of course it cannot. Yet, this is what the Yanukovych controlled Party of Regions attempted to do on Jan. 16, 2014. Later analysis of images taken in parliament that while 235 MPs were declared to have voted for these “dictatorship” laws, only about half of this number of MPs were actually in the session hall when the vote was taken (by a show of hands – also illegal.) After such clearly anti-democratic and dishonest actions, can anyone consider that authority to be legitimate? The actions were a breach of Article 5 of Ukraine’s constitution - something that Yanukovych was under oath to protect and uphold. But he failed to keep his word. There were more violations of the constitution by Yanukovych, its supposed protector. Article 27 of Ukraine’s constitution says that “Every person shall have the inalienable right to life. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of life.” Yet Yuri Verbitsky, a 42 year old geologist from Lviv, was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by forces belonging to the Yanukovych regime between Jan. 22 and Jan. 25 of 2014. That Yanukovych had already lost any legitimacy by this point should be beyond question. Later, of course, came the deaths of many more people on Jan. 18 and then Jan. 20, after which Yanukovych fled to Russia, insisting his authority and position were still legitimate. Define legitimate. The idea that legitimacy carries on from appointment without further question is a complete fallacy. It is something that we should refuse to accept. An elected leader most certainly can lose their legitimacy through illegal and/or unconstitutional, actions. The most recent public attempt at increasing the fog blurring the distinction between legitimately elected and legitimate comes from Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Bottom line, they are not the same, although it is easy to see why Russia’s ruling clan would seek to pretend that they are.

  15. Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, in which Josef Stalin and Adolf Hitler carved up parts of Europe for themselves, RuZZia started ww2 together with Hitler by invading Poland in 1939 , it was only after Stalins good buddy hitler turned on him that RuZZia came running til the west begging for help to fight the nazis ... “As long as the government of RuZZia and the political elite, and political propaganda continue to whitewash communist crimes and glorify the Soviet totalitarian regime.” “which pave the way for the distortion of historical facts about the consequences of the Second World War and the propagation of the totalitarian political system.”

  16. This may not turn out good for Ukraine at all its bad for Russia bad for Assad for sure not saying its not ; But maybe we (those that support Ukraine )are overlooking some other factors 1. Russia may use this to convince the western you-tubers and covert Russian supporters in the west like Tulsi Gabbard ; Marjorie Taylor Greene ; Tucker Carlson ; JD Vance; and other ppl. around Trump ; western You-tubers like TIm Pool Lauren Chen ; Turning Point USA ; right-wing media, including Benny Johnson, ¨ David Rubin, Lauren Southern ,etc etc etc ... that the CIA ; NATO Europe together with what they call the organized another coup d'etat in Syria so NATO can take control over the Russian Navy base and air force base inside Syria and other Russian myths .. It will take focus off what Russia is doing in Ukraine .. 2. Now that Syria has fallen the European gov the Turkish gov and the US, gov. will have to pump in resources into Syria comment intelligence to the aria of the middle east and Syria ; those Trump may choose to want to force Ukraine into submission and give up the fight faster than he will have done ; becouse he needs to commit resource and attention to middle east now that Syrian gov. has fallen.... 3. For sure Kremlin propaganda well be shouting that the west is backing ISIS groups in Syria and that those "CIA groups" haven now taken over Syria and that its only Russia that is fighting those groups bla bla bla bla bla ..... Conclusion; So even if this is fantastic news that Russias buddy Assad is kicked out of Syria this just maybe be ending up as a not so good thing for Ukraine .. A lot depends on how this gets spanned in the western media and how the wester political elites and populace will be seeing this !!

  19. IT WAS NOT ETHNIC RUSSIAN THAT DIED FIGHTING THE NAZIS it was Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia and the other nations that was forced into the USSR and put in the front lines as cannon fodder the ethnic Russians was the NKVD cowards shooting everyone else in the backs the ethnic Russians was in the NKVD and was officers and in supply units behind the lines not getting used a cannon fodder !! Also let us not forget the fact the it was the Stalin and RuSSia that made it possible for Hitler to build up his nazi army by giving him iron-ore and other need goods from 1939-1941 the soviet union was the strongest and most important partner of nazi Germany .. It was only after June 1941 when Hitler turned on his good buddy Stalin and attacked the USSR that Stalin came running to the west for help and the west said yes ok we will let you fight with us they did this well knowing that Stalin helped Hitler build his army and also because the west was thinking in terms like my enemy's enemy is my friend policy and tactic Russians living in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. I really think that the Russians aren’t the ones to lecture ANYONE about fascism, or anything else for that matter, especially since RuSSians was the ones that signed the pact with the-devil [nazigermany] and started World War II… and even today RuSSia are still glorifying Stalin... Hitlers good buddy in 1937-1941 Hitler and Stalin started ww2 together when they invaded Poland together. The RuZZians were the cowards who shot their own troops in the backs to press other forward infront like a human shields and canon-fodder. YES they did shoot their own troops in the backs But they did NOT shoot ethnic Russians in the backs as most of that scum was officers and in logistics and the NKVD doing the shooting... The ethnic Russian scum was the pathetic scummy cowards that was shooting other Soviets in the back..... And why did this happen you ask ! Answer : Becouse Stalin did not trust Ukrainians (and other none ethnic Russians )(remember he had only 8 years before Stalin had killed 10 mill Ukrainians in a genocide called the holodomor ) So what did Stalin do before ww2 he made a purge and killed all officers of non ethnic Russians decent in the Army and replaced them with ethnic Russians and made all others that was not ethnic Russians in low level positions in other worlds as cannon fodder for the german artillery and targets for german bullets... this was the Ukrainians, Belorussians , Uzbeks , Moldovan’s ect ect ect .. this is who was fighting and geting killed this is who was fighting the-nazi-not ethnic Russians they was in the safe jobs like NKVD ect ect ect ... back in the reserve army and as administrators ect ect.. Why do you think the Kremlin always say Russians died and not soviets died ????? They do this to cover up this facts I have stated above and for Russia to take the honor from the people who really did the fighting..Russians and Russia have no shame !!

  20. Let's see it form this side ; See it from a different angle. If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!??? if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?.. The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks" I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold. LIKE i have said before ... Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety." Trump says just give up on wanting your cities, your land back your people , back ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass anyway that Russia wants so just give it up and we all can have some peace .. lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here .. For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether.. And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !! When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !! Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !! I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country".  NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom  and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves .. FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5: 1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression. 2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility. 3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

  22. Musk has for sure made a backhanded deal with Russia and Putin about working together with Russian space industry ; to help Musk with his spaceX going to Mars program (colonizing mars )  This is why Musk went from helping Ukraine with free star-link and then out of the blue Musk went all pro Russia .. When he got brought and paid for by Russia in this space calibration and collaboration deal if he starts using his platform to help promote Moscow propaganda anti Ukraine sentiment and block western support to Ukraine and help Russia ambitions to win in Ukraine and the war ends ; he (musk) will get help from Russia's space industry with his ambitions of colonizing mars ... HOW MANY BILLONS HAS MUSK RECEIVED FROM US GOV FOR HIS PROJECTS ??   According to a Los Angeles Times investigation, Musk's companies had received an estimated $4.9 billion in government support by 2015, and they've gotten more since. 1. Elon Musk Took $17 Million In Federal Charging Grants Before Firing His Entire Supercharger Team 2.  SpaceX is, after all, primarily a government contractor, racking up $15.3 billion in awarded contracts since 2003, according to US government Tesla and SolarCity continue to report net losses after a decade in business, but the stocks of both companies have soared on their potential; Musk’s stake in the firms alone is worth about $10 billion. (SpaceX, a private company, does not publicly report financial performance.)

  25. Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!! There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since Word War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would. And its because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?  Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. -- Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already. All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ... United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems ) France 300 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems ) United States 7,315 warheads (Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems ) Russia 8,000 warheads (Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems ) RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

  27. This is Ritter's propaganda, it's not by any means a documentary. It's some facts, mixed in with half truths and bald-face lies. Strange how he wants to paint Zelinsky into what Putin is. Putin is the richest man in Russia. His mob is Silovicki and Oligarchs. Ritter was once an analyst, but he is best known for being on a UN weapons inspection team. He served there as a COUNTER INTELLIGENCE OFFICER, not an analyst! He was responsible for the security of his team, and ensuring that the Russian “escorts” did not gain access to classified information. He failed miserably! He had a romantic relationship with one of the Russian “escorts”. He divorced his wife in 1990 and they were married in 1991. Ritter resigned his commission with the Marines. He DID NOT complete his military service and retire. Ritter claims to be a PUNDIT and writer. He makes it very clear that he is not providing an analytic assessment with his statements. He is a pundit. He lost access to classified information when he resigned from the military, but kept his clearance (and non-disclosure agreements). He lost his clearance with his first arrest. He is shunned by other analysts he may have once had contact with. Now let's talk about his pedophilia. In 2001, Scott Ritter was arrested in New York when he attempted to set up a meeting with a UNDERAGE girl so he could masturbate in front of her. He had a good lawyer. Got off with 6 months probation. On Jan. 14, 2010, Scott Ritter was arrested in Barrett Township in the Poconos in upstate New York and charged with sexual misconduct involving minors via his use of the Internet. The Barrett Township police stated that Scott Ritter masturbated and ejaculated in full view of a Web camera for a 15-year-old girl named Emily. He served 4yrs in prison. when it turned out the 15 year old girl was in fact a detective investigating him for pedophilia There is also a record of a third arrest earlier, in April of 2001, but no charges were filed. Ritter's career has been destroyed by his pedophilia. He's turned to Russia to make money as a propagandist.

  29.  @PrettyGoodLookin  What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukriane anyway..... A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass over 200,000 sq km In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, and Greece all put together.. In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and most of England In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !! Why the should Ukraine give up all that land for what to be invaded only some years later !! I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country".  NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom  and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda and so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ... Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, . When Russia invaded Ukriane Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did . During Soviet times those Eastern European countries where nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia. Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it . If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia .. Also these people who advocate this view that Ukriane shroud just give up land and appeasement to Russians wants wishes are also being very ignorant to the fact that there were already treaties in place between Russia and Ukraine where Russia respecting the integrity of Ukraine's borders plus other treaties relating to the seas around Ukraine. Putin has already broken those treaties. Why would Ukraine believe Putin would stick to a new treaty when he's just broken half a dozen of the previous Russia Ukraine treaties and agreements. Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.

  30. To put things in perspective, Ukraine had 176 ICBMs and over 2000 tactical nukes along with bombers able to carry them. They gave it all up in exchange for security guarantees from USA, UK and Russia ( Budapest Memorandum 1994 ). One would say that assisting Ukraine now when its being invaded should be obvious thing to do when you signed up on their security and they gave up literally thousands nukes... @PrettyGoodLookin

  31. It might be useful to recap some of the reason why Russia is now an outcast : Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade; Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU; Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries; Provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace; Russia's interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia; Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers; Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory; Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region; Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation"; Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict; Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people; Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006; Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018; among lots of other things to much to even list up .. NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!! RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW: 1. The Geneva Convention. 2. Charter of the United Nations 3. The Helsinki Accords 4. The Charter of the OSCE 5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994 6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties 7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination 8. European Court of Human Rights THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE . The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments. One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time. Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state. @PrettyGoodLookin

  33. RUSSIA INVADED UKRAINE FOR OIL AND GAS IN THE BLACK SEA AND EAST UKRAINE !!! 1. Putin needs to deflect his people from domestic facts of economic problems of his gangster style corrupted control inside Russia.. 2. Russian is stealing the vast iron and coal resources in east Ukraine.. 3. Russia is stealing the newly found Oil deposits in the black sea and Azov sea 4 Russian only invaded after it was proved by geologist that Ukraine in fact has the 3rd largest gas fracking reserves this was something they only found out about in 2013 ..(Russia and Putin was afraid if a EU / US friendly government came to power in Kiev the EU and USA will move in start gas production and the EU will start buying its gas from Ukraine and not Russia ) Ukraine has Europe's 3rd largest shale gas reserves at 42 trillion cubic ...Russia’s silent shale gas victory in Ukraine The vast shale gas reserves in the separatist-held Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Lugansk regions are an important element not to be overlooked when analyzing the Ukraine crisis.  @PrettyGoodLookin

Or is it because you act like a bully and are aggressive and invade your neighbor lands sending in troops and tanks Hungary 1956, Czechoslovakia 1968, Poland 1980 Moldova 1990-91, Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014 ++ and no all of Ukraine 2022+++ Russia eat eat eats and blames its victim's for eating them .. ...

  36. Russian Claim: NATO tried to «drag» Ukraine into the Alliance The Fact: When the administrations of President Kuchma (the second President of independent Ukraine from 19 July 1994) and President Yushchenko (President of Ukraine from 23 January 2005 to 25 February 2010.) made clear their aspiration to NATO membership, the Alliance worked with them to encourage the reforms which would be needed to make that aspiration a reality and ever administration after them was in agreement with this aspiration to NATO membership until Putins boy and lapdog Mr. President Yanukovych got into power all of the membership, the Alliance work was turned around to the massive delight and joy of Moscow and Putin (President of Ukraine in 2010. He was removed from the office in the 2014 Ukrainian revolution. He currently lives in exile in Russia) . When the administration of President Yanukovych opted for a non-bloc status, NATO respected that decision and continued to work with Ukraine on reforms, at the government’s request. NATO respects the right of every country to choose its own security arrangements. In fact, Article 13 of the Washington Treaty specifically gives Allies the right to leave. Over the past 65 years, 28 countries have chosen freely, and in accordance with their domestic democratic processes, to join NATO. Not one has asked to leave. This is their sovereign choice. Let’s look at Ukraine’s disgraced former President, (Putins boy) Mr . Victor Yanukovych . After he fled to Putin with billions of stolen money the Kremlin-backed politician and his cronies (made away with $40 billion in state Ukrainian assets disappear ) the idea that he remained the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state, and therefore the manner in which he was replaced was automatically illegitimate, was commonplace. This line of thinking was heavily promulgated by his new host country for reasons that are self-evident. But was it right, or even logical, to claim this? The legitimacy of the Yanukovych regime indeed began with a somewhat fair election, albeit an election in which the Ukrainian people had no good other choices at the time (NOTE : Yanukovych was backed up by Moscow controlled media and corrupted elites that have dealings with the Kremlin and media inside Ukraine) . But could that legitimacy go on unquestioned despite the blatant grand scale theft of state resources? No. Of course it could not. Common hooligans and thugs were brought to Kyiv by the Yanukovych authorities to beat down on the students protesting Yanukovych authorities corruption (first recorded on Nov. 29, 2013when the protested was just a few days old) Yanukovych thugs mission was to terrorize the residents of the capital and beat down the students protesting Yanukovych . This act was completely in contradiction to Article 3 of the constitution that Yanukovych was elected to uphold. It was more than right to question Yanukovych’s legitimacy after this and the Ukrainian people did just that after seeing young  students getting beat up by Yanukovych imported thugs in the streets of Kyiv, this act of state terrors, enraged the people even more and other joined the students protesting Yanukovych , now demanding his removal of office. Lets take a closer look into legitimacy of Yanukovych Presidency.. Can the legitimacy of a ruling authority survive past the blatantly illegal adoption of laws designed to end democracy and create a dictatorship? No. Of course it cannot. Yet, this is what the Yanukovych controlled Party of Regions attempted to do on Jan. 16, 2014. Later analysis of images taken in parliament that while 235 MPs were declared to have voted for these “dictatorship” laws, only about half of this number of MPs were actually in the session hall when the vote was taken (by a show of hands – also illegal.) After such clearly anti-democratic and dishonest actions, can anyone consider that authority to be legitimate? The actions were a breach of Article 5 of Ukraine’s constitution – something that Yanukovych was under oath to protect and uphold. But he failed to keep his word. There were more violations of the constitution by Yanukovych, its supposed protector. Article 27 of Ukraine’s constitution says that “Every person shall have the inalienable right to life. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of life.” Yet Yuri Verbitsky, a 42 year old geologist from Lviv, was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by forces belonging to the Yanukovych regime between Jan. 22 and Jan. 25 of 2014. That Yanukovych had already lost any legitimacy by this point should be beyond question. Later, of course, came the deaths of many more people on Jan. 18 and then Jan. 20, after which Yanukovych fled to Russia, insisting his authority and position were still legitimate. Define legitimate. The idea that legitimacy carries on from appointment without further question is a complete fallacy. It is something that we should refuse to accept. An elected leader most certainly can lose their legitimacy through illegal and/or unconstitutional, actions. The most recent public attempt at increasing the fog blurring the distinction between legitimately elected and legitimate comes from Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Bottom line, they are not the same, although it is easy to see why Russia’s ruling clan would seek to pretend that they are.  @PrettyGoodLookin

  37. We are in a global food crisis becouse of Putin invasion of Ukraine and Putin blocking export of corn and wheat and sunflower oil form Ukriane as Ukriane is the world bread basket it produces more food stuff than another country and exports that via Odessa black sea harbor this is why we now have food crises !!! YOU BELOVED PUTIN AND HIS GENOCIDE !!!  Yes it is true this green politics of vegans and other fare leftist also contributing heavily to this for sure but things was more or less fine before your Putin started a war in a European country (right after I may add he and his buddy in Belarus tried to flow into Europe refugees via Poland !! ) You want to get this to end Then help Ukraine export the food before it gos bad sitting on the harbors in Odessa and kick Putin out of Ukraine . Russian only invaded after it was proved by geologist that Ukraine in fact has the 3rd largest gas fracking reserves this was something they only found out about in 2013 ..(Russia and Putin was afraid if a EU / US friendly government came to power in Kiev the EU and USA will move in start gas production and the EU will start buying its gas from Ukraine and not Russia ) Ukraine has Europe's 3rd largest shale gas reserves at 42 trillion cubic ...Russia’s silent shale gas victory in Ukraine The vast shale gas reserves in the separatist-held Ukrainian regions of Donetsk and Lugansk regions are an important element not to be overlooked when analyzing the Ukraine crisis. Ukraine loses 80% of oil and gas deposits in Black Sea due to annexation of Crimea and that is what Putin wants to make sure never happens becouse since 1991 he and his oligarch buddies have been tapping into those resources for themselves stealing the profits from the Ukrainian ppl.  @PrettyGoodLookin

  38. This is a myth pressed by Kremlin about the so called promised that NATO would not expand after the ColdWar Ever agreement and decision made by NATO must be made in consensus and recorded filed and signed by ALL Nato member states before it becomes a fact !! NATO has time after time after time told Russia to show the world where this so called agreement is where is the document that shows such an agreement was ever made !!! And time after time Moscow can not come up with any evidence , prof or any document to back up this so called agreement . WHY IS THAT ?? Because it never happened it's a myth made up by Moscow !! There is no record of any such-decision having been taken by NATO. Personal assurances from individual leaders cannot replace Alliance consensus and do not constitute formal NATO agreement. In addition, at the time (1989) of the "promise", the Warsaw Pact still existed so why will any such agreement have been made? . The Warsaw Pact members did not agree on its dissolution until 1991. (So based on that fact even if there was an agreement (and there never was one ) that agreement will have to been made with the USSR and the USSR no longer is a thing as it dissolved in 1991 so any agreement made is now none in void in other words no longer is valid becouse the USSR only belongs in the history books and can not be seen as a legal entity any more... The idea of their accession to NATO was not on the agenda in 1989. This was confirmed by Mikhail Gorbachev himself in an interview with Russia Beyond the Headlines: (just google :Mikhail Gorbachev Russia Beyond the Headlines  @PrettyGoodLookin

  39. Russia has broken the deployment agreement (Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty and the New START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty of 2010) that had with NATO and the USA when Russia deploys nuclear-capable missile system in Kaliningrad back in 2018 !!! LOOK UP Russia's deployment of nuclear-capable missiles to its Kaliningrad exclave is setting off warning bells in the Baltics and at Nato. NATO is already 500 km from Moscow via Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BS .. And her is a thought .. if every neighbor you have is running to and begging and wanting to join NATO is it becouse you are such a nice neighbor to be besides or is it because you act like a bully and are aggressive and invade your neighbor lands and are not the good neighbor you claim to be ... Maybe if you act in a more nicer way you be liked by your neighbors in your neighborhood and some of them maybe will want to be around you as well .. The idea that Ukraine is the aggressor in this situation in Crimea and east Ukraine is absurd. “It’s Russia that invaded Ukraine years ago. It’s Russia that is the military occupier of part of Ukraine, in Crimea. It’s Russia that, to this day, is fueling a war in eastern Ukraine. It’s Russia that has failed to implement any of its Minsk commitments… It’s Russia that’s taken aim repeatedly at Ukraine’s democracy. And it’s Russia that’s sending troops to Ukraine’s border, once again. All these actions are violations of Ukraine’s sovereignty and an immediate and urgent challenge to peace and stability in Europe, And before someone comes with the Cuba nukes back in the 60s argument let me tell you this it was back in the cold war a drf. time all together and The main difference is that Castro invited Russia with their missiles to Cuba while Ukraine’s young democracy is trying to protect itself from Putin’s dictatorship! Russia has broken the deployment agreement (Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty and the New START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty of 2010) that had with NATO and the USA when Russia deploys nuclear-capable missile system in Kaliningrad back in 2018 !!! LOOK UP Russia's deployment of nuclear-capable missiles to its Kaliningrad exclave is setting off warning bells in the Baltics and at Nato. Kaliningrad BORDERS Poland and Lithuania (both NATO ) so who put Nuks on the NATO/ Russian borders first Mr Putin ??? Moscow’s unwillingness to cooperate in the Kaliningrad exclave wedged between Lithuania and Poland, * Koenigsberg, as the city of Kaliningrad was once known, was founded by Teutonic knights in the 13th Century. It was once the capital of Prussia * Annexed by Russia from Germany after WWII. Germans fled or were expelled * It is more than 300km away from Russia, which can only be reached through an EU country * It houses the Russian Baltic Fleet and is the country's only ice-free European port * The philosopher Immanuel Kant spent all his life in the city and died there in 1804 Russia's deployment of the Iskander NUKES serves multiple strategic purposes beyond the purely military. It is intended to remind the Western public - and particularly those in the Baltic republics (Lithuania Estonia , Latvia ) - of the nuclear stakes in facing up to Moscow. It is part of the signaling in a wider information war between Russia is running towards the west , where Moscow seeks to divide the Atlantic alliance and to secure for itself the ability to do as it pleases in what it sees as its near-abroad aka hegemony states so Moscow can exploit those states for its own agenda and resorses . Thus Russian-backed forces control parts of Georgia; Russia has annexed Crimea and backs pro-Russian militias in eastern Ukraine. The problem for Nato is that the Baltic republics, whilst once Soviet territory, are now firmly within the Western camp. It has to draw clear lines to confront Moscow's influence while trying to avoid escalating any crisis further, this is not to the Kremlins liking.. And on a side note Russia’s violations of the Open Skies treaty, and treaty do not come in isolation and come on top of infringements of other treaties.  @PrettyGoodLookin

  41. It’s almost 15 months since Putin launched this illegal war, bringing untold suffering to the innocent people of Ukraine. Some outside Ukraine are questioning whether the free world can sustain its support and claiming that some are beginning to tire of this war; the people of Ukraine do not have that luxury. Russian aggression cannot be appeased. It must be met with strength. We know what is happening on the ground in Ukraine and what Russia has done and will continue to do if not stoped, genocide war crimes, rape , mass graves ect ect ect . Evidence grows of heinous war crimes – the butchery of innocent Ukrainian civilians, rape, torture, and abduction. The west and the UN must ensure that these crimes are fully investigated and that justice is done ; Putin and anyone else responsible must be personally brought to justice and answer for all the crimes Russia and Russians have committed in Ukraine.. Ukraine can and must win this war.!!! they have no other choice; If Russia stopes fighting today , the next day there will be no more war , If Ukraine stops fighting today the next day there will be no more Ukraine !!!!!! And that is why Ukriane will never backslide however long the conflict goes on. they are and have determination to defend their land and the democratic principles Ukriane stands for will outmatch that of the aggression of Russia . The result of Putin’s aggression so far has been to unite the free world forces; Sweden and Finland are now joining NATO;   And the foolishness and criminal brutality of Putins actions, has only served to unify the EU; It has also resulted in Germany taking the biggest rebuilding and modification of its armed forces , Air Sea and Land Forces, we have ever seen since the cold war ! ; And if that was not enough, the same goes for all other western and eastern European countries they are also rebuilding and modifying their armed forces; And the security focus is now on the Kremlin and no longer (at the same level ) on Asia and China, the geo political world politics focus is no turning back to European sphere of  interest and this new focus is much to the disliking and discomfort of The Kremlin . The west is more unified and is stronger now., than it was only 6 months ago and so is in fact Ukriane – and Russia is weaker. Allowing aggression to succeed would only bring further conflict and misery – and this war would not stop in Ukraine, Putin will see this as an opportunity to move into Moldova and then into the Baltics and Poland .. The west must also put a STOP  to Russia’s attack on global food supply and food security ; using food as a bargaining tool and weaponizing, hunger and starvation is totally unacceptable in 2022 .. The Kremlin is blockading Ukrainian ports, shelling civilian infrastructure and preventing Ukraine from exporting it's produces. By driving up food prices and creating shortages they are punishing the world’s poorest and most vulnerable people that are totally innocent, they haven't done anything to Russia and represent NO danger to Russia whatsoever . At the same time the Kremlin are peddling lies and disinformation, claiming that the problems are because of sanctions. In the long run there must be consequences for Russia’s actions; Putin must not only lose this war, he must also be denied any benefit from it. Any future aggression must be prevented and Russia must be isolated on the world stage as the Pariah Terrorist State the most currently are !!. Ukraine must prevail – for the good of its people and to uphold the fundamental principles of sovereignty, self-determination, freedom and democracy.  @PrettyGoodLookin

  45.  @PrettyGoodLookin  If you are already inside the Kremlin orbit and want to try and leave the Kremlin hegemony control like some countries in history tried to do: Hungary 1956 Czechoslovakia 1968 Poland 1980 Moldova 1991 First Chechen War 1994 Second Chechen War 1999 Georgia 2008 Ukraine 2014 +++ (ongoing ) Kazakhstan 2022 Then you will truly see the "brotherly" peaceful loving attitude from Russia coming your way when the Russian Tanks comes around the corners and runs all over you, your family and your country !! THE FACTS AND TRUTH IF YOU TRY AND LEAVE NATO !! When France left NATO in 1966: French President Charles de Gaulle in 1966 took his country out of NATO and he demanded that all military headquarters and installations that was not under French command was to depart from French territory by 1967... That was done by NATO, all NATO countries did this in a respectful peaceful way and within the timeframe set by France it was done within a friendly peaceful democratic way and well-wishing attitudes from all sides, both by NATO countries and France towards each other .. NATO did not try and force France to stay within NATO and force France to have NATO bases inside France; NATO respected France right to self governance and that France was sovereign self-governing nation , and respected the fact that France has the right to make its own choices about its own military defense policy and make its own choices about its own needs or with who or what France wanted to do regarding French defense agreements and alliances!!! So what NATO did was let France exit out of NATO and NATO respected French ppl. right to make own choice and make their own future for themself, for France the nation, as the French ppl. and their gov. saw fit. Then in 2009 the French gov. and the French ppl. officially asked NATO if France could rejoined NATO's integrated military command structure and once more France become a member of the NATO defense pacts, France was once more welcomed back into NATO with welcoming well-wishing attitude by NATO members at the time ... !! NOW LETS LOOK AT RUSSIA !! When countries try and leave anything Russia sees as under Moscow control the Kremlin always uses evil acts and tries to use force and military options to stop anyone from leaving Moscow’s orbit and hegemony control !! * Hungary tried in 1956 (Russian tanks in the Streets sent by Moscow ) *Czechoslovakia tried in 1968 (Russian tanks in the Streets sent by Moscow ) *Poland tried in 1980 (Russian tanks in the Streets sent by Moscow ) *Moldova 1991 (Russian tanks in the Streets sent by Moscow ) *First Chechen War 1994 (Russian tanks in the Streets sent by Moscow ) *Second Chechen War 1999(Russian tanks in the Streets sent by Moscow ) *Georgia tried in 2008 (Russian tanks in the Streets sent by Moscow ) *Ukraine tried in 2014 ++ and 2022 ongoing (Russian tanks in the Streets sent by Moscow ) *Kazakhstan 2022 (Russian tanks in the Streets sent by Moscow ) CONCLUSION Better to be one foot in NATO (you can always freely leave ) than have both feet inside Moscow and cold ass in Siberia

  46.  @PrettyGoodLookin  Claim: NATO is trying to encircle Russia Fact: This claim ignores the facts of geography. Russia's land border  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borders_of_Russia is just over 20,000 kilometres long. Of that, 1,215 kilometres, or less than one-sixteenth, face current NATO members. Russia shares land borders with 14 countries (Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, North Korea). Only five of them are NATO members. Outside NATO territory, the Alliance only has a military presence in two places: Kosovo and Afghanistan. Both operations are carried out with a United Nations mandate, and therefore carry the approval of Russia, along with all other Security Council members. In contrast, Russia has military bases and soldiers in three countries – Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine – without the consent of their governments. In fact, we’ve seen new permanent deployments all along Russia’s western border with NATO Allies, from the Barents to the Baltic Sea, and from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean.

  47.  @PrettyGoodLookin  Claim: NATO has bases all around the world Fact: NATO's military infrastructure outside the territory of Allies is limited to areas in which the Alliance is conducting operations. NATO has military facilities in Kosovo, for instance, for the KFOR peacekeeping mission. NATO also has civilian liaison offices in partner countries such as Georgia, Moldova, Ukraine and Russia. These cannot be considered as "military bases". Individual Allies have overseas bases on the basis of bilateral agreements and the principle of host-nation consent, in contrast with Russian bases on the territory of Moldova, Ukraine and Georgia.

  48.  @PrettyGoodLookin  This is a myth pressed by Kremlin about the so called promised that NATO would not expand after the ColdWar Ever agreement and decision made by NATO must be made in consensus and recorded filed and signed by ALL Nato member states before it becomes a fact !! NATO has time after time after time told Russia to show the world where this so called agreement is where is the document that shows such an agreement was ever made !!! And time after time Moscow can not come up with any evidence , prof or any document to back up this so called agreement . WHY IS THAT ?? Because it never happened it's a myth made up by Moscow !! There is no record of any such-decision having been taken by NATO. Personal assurances from individual leaders cannot replace Alliance consensus and do not constitute formal NATO agreement. This was confirmed by Mikhail Gorbachev in an interview in 2014 (google bond the headlines Mikhail Gorbachev): "The topic of 'NATO expansion' was not discussed at all, and it wasn't brought up in those years. I say this with full responsibility. Not a single Eastern European country raised the issue, not even after the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist in 1991. Western leaders didn't bring it up, either." Declassified White House transcripts also reveal that, in 1997, Bill Clinton consistently refused Boris Yeltsin's offer of a 'gentlemen's agreement' that no former Soviet Republics would enter NATO: "I can't make commitments on behalf of NATO, and I'm not going to be in the position myself of vetoing NATO expansion with respect to any country, much less letting you or anyone else do so…NATO operates by consensus."

  50. Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination like a type of 2nd class country; that is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country, that indirectly will serving the kremlins geopolitical agenda, and so Kremlin, the RuZZians and Putin can feel better about themselves ... All the Eastern European countries has more or less joined NATO because they was scared of Russia and want make sure they will stay independent, (and the same goes for the EU financial independence ) Nobody forced Eastern European countries to join , NATO or the EU all of them came running and begging and knocking on the door of NATO and EU by themselves, asking and begging to be let into The EU and NATO  !! Russia invading Ukriane back 2014 and Georgia back in 2008 and now all out war with Ukraine from 2022++ just showed, why it was and still is a good idea for those Eastern European countries to join NATO, and the EU  because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well . During Soviet times those Eastern countries where nothing but quasi Russia puppet states and where totally exploited by Russia under under its heel and boot. If those eastern European countries didn't join NATO then they couldn't have guaranteed their own future continuous independence from Russia by themselves . Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure their independence !!! The former satellite states like Poland,Romania,Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect was running to and knocking at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come inn and thats the truth !! . If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..
