  1.  @BrumKid  False equivalency. Unlike Russia, the US did not assimilate Iraq, Libya, Syria, and Afghanistan into the US federal structure. >Libya NATO STOPPED the bloody civil war in Libya. Putin STARTED the bloody war in Ukraine. On 16 August 2003, Libya formally admitted responsibility for Pan Am Flight 103 (Lockabie bombing) in a letter presented to the president of the United Nations Security Council. "On 10 March 2011, France was the first country in the world to recognise the National Transitional Council as the legitimate government of Libya". >Iraq Iraq invaded Kuwait. Iraq STARTED the bloody war in Kuwait. Iraq's top oil exports countries from Jan to Jun 2020 1st, China! 29 million tonnes <---- LOL 2nd, India, 23 million tonnes 3rd, EU, 8 million tonnes 4th, South Korea, 6 million tonnes 5th, Turkey, 4 million tonnes with an upwards trend 5th, USA, 4 million tonnes with a downwards trend 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.

  2. NATO didn't sign the Budapest memorandum. 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 by grabbing land territory from Ukraine. 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.

  3.  @manesam7389  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 Unlike the Russians and Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), the UK left the European Union (EU), and it's on track joining CPTPP has proven freedom of association. Russian threats are attempting to remove freedom of association from Finland and Sweden.

  4.  @manesam7389  NATO wouldn't be a threat to Russia if Russia doesn't threaten other smaller countries' security. Russia is NOT the only country without NATO membership e.g. Australia, Japan, South Korea, Mexico, Brazil, and 'etc'.

  5.  @manesam7389  In 2009, Venezuela buys S300 missiles with Russian loan while Putin complains about NATO's 2018 Aegis Ashore in Poland In 2018, Venezuela buys SU-30 fighter jets from Russia. The Cold War is back. The US needs to zero-sum this Russian BS.

  6.  @manesam7389  From March 2021, Guyana Foreign Affairs and International Cooperation Minister Hugh Todd has said that two Venezuelan Sukhoi SU 30 fighter jets entered the country’s airspace.
