  1. @PUAlum Your description is not accurate. Ukraine did not have it's own nuclear weapons, it had nuclear power; but these weapons belonged to Russia. "The West" (America and the UK) were co-signatories to what was essentially a deal between Russia and Ukraine; one key clause (for Russia) was that Ukraine remained neutral. A number of former Soviet states became sovereign countries; some went on to join: the EU; NATO, even both and there was no trouble, but Western interests (EU and America) started to "invest" billions in Ukraine and when the current Ukrainian administration (elected in 2014) decided to apply for membership (of EU and/or NATO) that started a civil war. Until then Ukraine was independent and sovereign (it was also bankrupt and notoriously corrupt), but regarding the two agreements "Budapest memorandum" and "Minsk" it seems that in similar fashion to assurances given to Russia and China regarding Libya and regime change that these were hollow. Perhaps Americans might understand that as American troops still occupy the oil fields in Syria (about 20% of the country) that these "Western interests" don't care a jot about the integrity or sovereignty of counties (it's just more hypocrisy). Ukrainian democracy? Since the government banned opposing parties; Russian (in schools and on the media); it's not a democracy and unlikely to become one any time soon. American democracy (as an outsider looking in) seems perfectly stable: there are two main parties, both right-wing; both backed by Wall Street and while their media spins domestic issues this way and that; regarding foreign policy the choice is war or war? (your choice). Until 2014, Ukraine leased a key port to Russia (around $200 million a year); charged (quite high) tariffs on EU gas supplies from Russia and it had it's own army and navy. There are clearly a lot of things we are not being told, but proposals to build alternative gas supply routes from Russia to EU (now destroyed) were resisted by Ukraine and America (them again); NATO military advisers; Ukrainian Gold reserves gone missing; odd oil deals (see Biden's son); it's unclear what was going on before 2014, but Russia will know. Since I live in the West; it grieves me to report that our leaders are largely: self serving; money (and power) orientated and don't even seem to care about our citizens. Listening to them try to talk about other leaders being bad; or their countries economic matters or how they are here to save the day (again) really grinds my gears. The conflict between Russia and Ukraine; where Russia sells it's oil and gas; matters between China and Taiwan, that's their business. They aren't about to take lectures from Western interests, that have left a trail of destruction behind them, that have asset stripped the Western economies and got rich in the process. While their msm saturates us with a foreign war they very much want; the idea that Biden or Putin actually make foreign policy, or that they are in any way charitable; large hikes to the American military budget has superpowers building up. One other important matter is that the msm give an inaccurate portrayal of Russia and China, these are technologically sophisticated super-powers, with nuclear and space programs and they are not stupid. China already said don't try to involve us in American power games (with reference to Ukraine); that's their position and mine. Russia had an agreement that Ukraine would stay neutral; Ukraine gave that up and it was known there would be hell to pay. The far right (globalists) in the West are currently investing heavily in starting a nuclear war, because that's where this is going. Their msm don't care about people, they never did and their "crocodile tears" are nothing but an insult. Follow the money...
