the Ukrainian people and their country for money and glory....

I am speaking of a $95-billion foreign military aid package that includes $61 billion for Ukraine.

The West found a foreign leader ready to serve its interests of weakening Russia by sacrificing the Ukrainian people and their country for money and glory. In the Western media, Zelensky is now George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, and Winston Churchill together. I doubt that any of them or his heirs would be thrilled being compared to someone who converted his own country into a foreign mercenary legion.

Provoking, funding, and prolonging the war between the two Christian nations who lived together for over three centuries and who are bound by close historical, religious, economic, cultural, and family ties was never meant to promote democracy, but rather to use Ukrainians as cannon fodder to preserve the geopolitical advantage of the hegemon. Of course, there is an additional incentive to make money for the military-industrial complex, and all those with whom it shares its huge profits, including many members of Congress, think-tanks, and lobbyists.

Despite constant use of the word “unprovoked,” the current war was indeed provoked by the U.S. and NATO. As with any other nation, Russia does want to take its security interests seriously — in this particular case, to insist that the pledge given to Gorbachev “not to expand NATO one inch east” be honored.
One phone call from Biden to Putin before February 24, 2022, with a pledge to guarantee Ukraine’s neutral status, would have ensured no war. Russia’s other security concerns could be then negotiated in a calm working atmosphere.

According to Richard Sakwa, professor of Russian and European politics at the University of Kent, “[t]his decision will only prolong the agony of Ukraine and Europe.”

But it’s getting bushels of bucks into the right pockets-arms dealers, oligarchs and don’t forget ten percent for the big guy.
That assumes that the Russians would stop the killing if they were allowed to completely conquer Ukraine. Everything that they’ve done shows that that’s not the case - just look at what they did to the civilians they massacred in Bucha. They commit mass rapes and tortures and summary executions in the areas they conquer.

Just not true. Putin's own envoy to Ukraine has stated that he had worked out a deal with Ukrainian neutrality but that Putin had rejected it because he was interested in annexing Ukrainian territory.
Agree.

More of your Russian lies & propaganda
Good to see you’re still upset
Yes, it’s madness. I shudder to think of the aftermath if we, once again, betray our ally.
All to push perverts into Moscow.
Lozansky, Moscow’s Lion. or is it lie on?
Ruzzia can end the death and destruction they started any time they want to.
“One phone call from Biden to Putin before February 24, 2022, with a pledge to guarantee Ukraine’s neutral status, would have ensured no war.”
1. The U.S. cannot “guarantee” any policies of another nation.
2. The phone call Biden could have had, but didn’t, would have told Putin that an invasiobn of Ukraine would most likely GUARANTEE Ukraine would in time ask and be acceoted as member of NATO, and not just Ukraine but others bordering Russia as well. If Putin didn’t want that he needed to quit trying to ressurrect the Russian empire.
There is no chance those liberated in Donetsk, Lugansk and Crimea will ever agree to go back being part of Ukraine. Ever.
It's absolutely true that we promised Russia no expansion of NATO and then expanded NATO into their backyard and that we fomented an illegal coup in 2014 in Ukraine, installed a puppet government hostile to Moscow and the ethnic Russian population in Ukraine, setoff a civil war and trained, funded and armed a 600,000 man Ukrainian army.
If China or Russia had done anything like that in Mexico, we would have invaded.
We wanted this proxy war and we're getting our asses handed to us.

Oh just stop! Conquest is not “liberation.”
Don’t forget the Ukrainian children that they kidnapped in order to turn them into Russians.
