@trainwrecktoldya5298 And Germany made France pay after Napoleon. Ever hear the phrase "to the victor goes the spoils"? The US's Marshall plan was unique, in that a winner helped rebuild the losers.

@springbloom5940 Stop with that worn out lie. The Ukrainian people rose up in protest, when the Russian backed oligarch broke his word, to form trade agreements with the EU, and formed them with Russia. That protest was grassroots and student led, organized though social media by the Ukrainian people. Then Yanukovych had his thugs attack the peaceful protestors, murdering many, and all the Ukrainian people organized to help them with food, warm clothes and medical aid. Clergy, from Christian, Jewish and Muslim communities, assisted in the protest. And as soon as Putin's puppet fled to Russia, in February 2014, the Russian army invaded. Ukraine has had several democratically elected presidents since then, Zelensky in 2019. Who was president of the US then? It wasn't Obama.

@dolphinrecords. For the same reason you don't use a fox to guard the henhouse.

@lazybones5390 China has reported 4,636 deaths from Covid-19, and most epidemiologists think the figure is much, much greater than reported.

Let's see, the UK gave 70% of Jewish land, that made up ancient Israel, to the Arabs they brought in, to form Jordan. When Israel became a country, the Jordanian army rushed in, and occupied much of Yudea and Shomron. They put Jordanians in those stolen Jewish homes. Egyptians rushed into Aza, and occupied that land. It seems the Russians should learn from the Arabs, how to steal land from the indigenous people, then lie and say it was always theirs.

@cloudyview They tried that. Putin sent his army to quell the people's protests, when Lukashenko rigged the elections.

@samuelbarbary8603 The Jews are the indigenous people. The Arabs steal land from them, and create states where only Arabs may live.

@diegoa3817 If Russians want to be under Russian control, they could return home.

@mhlatki Weird that when 70% of Belarussians voted for the wife of the jailed opposition leader, Lukashenko won the elections. Of course if Ms. Tsikhanouskaya returned home, she'd be jailed, like her husband.

Why, when the US helped convince Ukraine to give up its nuclear arms?

@omarperez2613 Not surprising, since Ethiopia refused to vote to condemn Russia, for its unprovoked invasion.

Because NATO doesn't invade, it is a defensive alliance.

Often, it is better to starve a fire of fuel or oxygen, than to dump water on it. That is what sanctions do.

Or, Russia withdraws to the borders it agreed to, when Ukraine gave up her nuclear weapons. Russians who wish to live under Russian control, move back to Russia.

India was a charter member of the UN, she just doesn't have a permanent seat on the security council. Israel doesn't have even a temporary seat on the security council, has been threatened by Russia, has more dangerous enemies than just Pakistan, and yet still voted for the UN resolution against Russia.

Israel has sent humanitarian aid to Ukraine. Israel voted to condemn Russia's invasion of Ukraine, in the UN. Russia is now promising to allow Iranian militias to launch attacks on Israel, from Syria.

@markjones7135 Since Israel has been invaded numerous times, by Arabs trying to wipe them off the map, and parts of Israel are still occupied by Arabs, who invaded from Jordan, they understand what Ukraine has endured better than most.

@cryogenic3766 Stop pretending that Zelensky doesn't have a law degree, and hasn't run a successful business. The last president had an engineering degree, and was a candy oligarch. The oligarch Russia invaded Ukraine over, Yanukovych was a convicted felon, who never graduated college. Zelensky is much more qualified, or do you really object to his being Jewish?

@Christine But, Putin wants to force the marriage, when Ukraine wants to be in the EU.
1
@Christine No, retreating to recognized borders, that existed before the invasion. The US is inciting nothing, the invasion is all on Putin.
1
@elle12390 Ukraine has been asking to join NATO since 2014. They wanted to do so because Russia had already invaded, not because of anything the US did.
1
@Christine No, it really isn't complicated. Russia promised the Ukraine, it would respect her borders, if she gave her nuclear arms to Russia. Russia installed a series of puppets as president, and when Ukraine tossed the worst out, Russia invaded without provocation. Russia has proven to be untrustworthy. No wonder Ukraine wants a savior, in the form of NATO.

@rividizd A woman wants to marry an attractive man. A brutal, ugly man tells her "No, you must marry me". She flirts with the attractive man, and the ugly man beats her up and steals her property. You are siding with the ugly, brutal man. Let Ukraine marry whom she wants. Let her keep all her territory.
