@greengold6705 Keystone XL pipeline helps with the supply side.

The US donated equipment for Afghanistan is for low threats i.e. they are not at the same level as the Turkish combat drones that destroyed Russian S300s.

@government_is_violence 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. Iraq invaded Kuwait.

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.

@Lisa-bh7kk Chile example, USSR has supported its Cuban proxy that in turn supported Marxist Salvador Allende. You're a hypocrite. Marxist Salvador Allende clashed with the right-wing parties that controlled Congress and with the judiciary. On 11 September 1973, the military moved to oust Allende in a coup d'état. Marxist Salvador Allende's presidential branch effectively declared war on the judiciary and right-wing majority governed Congress branches. During the 1970 Chilean presidential election, both the United States and the Soviet Union poured money into this election through their intelligence agencies and other sources. 💰KGB money was more precisely targeted. Allende made a personal request for Soviet money through his personal contact, KGB officer Svyatoslav Kuznetsov, who urgently came to Chile from Mexico City to help Allende. The original allocation of money for these elections through the KGB was $400,000, and an additional personal subsidy of $50,000 directly to Allende.[8] It is believed that help from KGB was a decisive factor, because Allende won by a narrow margin of 39,000 votes of a total of the 3 million cast. After the elections, the KGB director Yuri Andropov obtained permission for additional money and other resources from the Central Committee of the CPSU to ensure Allende victory in Congress. In his request on 24 October, he stated that KGB "will carry out measures designed to promote the consolidation of Allende's victory and his election to the post of President of the country".[8] You're a hypocrite.

@Lisa-bh7kk Reminder, Russian Federation still has its Russian Empire's land area largely intact. You can't say the same for non-existent Spanish, French, and British empires. Your argument is hypocritical. 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 UK left the EU and joining CPTPP has proven freedom of association. Unlike Russia, the US did not assimilate any new land territory into the US federal structure in the 21st century.

@Lisa-bh7kk 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. The partial breakup of the Soviet Union has shown that the Russian Empire is a fake country just like any other European colonial empire.

@rollie5579 FALSE, Trump supports the Keystone XL pipeline. Biden disallowed the Keystone XL pipeline. Trump supports the East-Med pipeline. Biden disendorsed the East-Med pipeline. Trump imposed sanctions on Nord Stream 2 pipeline. Biden allowed Nord Stream 2 pipeline until Russia's invasion of Ukraine. Before Russia's invasion of Ukraine, Biden's actions benefited Russia's energy sector. Trump's action is the opposite of Trump's being diplomatic with Putin. Sleepy Joe = You.
