So, now, the American Thinker is under Putin's control, too!
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.
No, it's not true that we:
- promised Russia no expansion of NATO (there was no treaty) and then expanded NATO into their backyard and
- that we fomented an illegal coup in 2014 in Ukraine (the protests occurred spontaneously against Russian attempts to turn Ukraine into a vassal state),
- installed a puppet government (the following governments of Ukraine were chosen by national elections)
- hostile to Moscow (Moscow's own actions made the government hostile) and the ethnic Russian population in Ukraine (there were no attacks against ethnic Russians),
- setoff a civil war (the "civil war" was started by Russia's invasion) and
- trained, funded and armed a 600,000 man Ukrainian army (only after Russia invaded).
But keep up the Russian propaganda. Moscow will be pleased.
