NATO has been on expansionist spree which is what led to Ukraine war, and now NATO is using Ukraine war as justification to double down on its giddy expansionism - Head I win, Tail you lose

“ More so than any other institution?”

The goal post just moved a little bit. Nobody said that NATO was the most woke institution in the world. I was just replying to this comment made by you:
“ And how is it a globalist woke institution?”

NATO is clearly a woke, globalist institution. The fact that there are others in existence that are worse does not negate that fact.

That is an undeniable FACT.
There would be NO war in Eastern Europe right now if NATO wasn’t aggressively expanding into former Soviet Union territory.

The Trump "dossier" had nothing to do with Ukraine. It was a concoction of the Clinton campaign and an ex-Brit spook.

The Vindmans were probably skimming money in Kiev and probably knew and maybe facilitated the Hunter payoffs.

The Biden's longstanding corruption originated in the US. Ukraine was just the last story in a long history of corruption.

As I said, the real problem is in DC, not Ukraine. And there's a real chance we won't be able to get rid of it regardless of what happens in Ukraine.

Acting like petulant children, you and rest of the Putinistas are simply taking out your frustration with your own inability to get rid of the US junta, so you take it out on the Ukrainians.

Even with current shortages, the Russian advance crawls along a a cost of about 1,000 Russians per day. What people like you fail to understand is that Putin's invasion has filled even millions of Russian speakers in Ukraine with a hatred of Russia so deep they'll rip the veins from the Russian army's necks with their teeth if they have too.

Your argument is backwards. What right does Ukraine have to US aid, especially as you indicate, when its filtered through a "US junta?" You really expect a "US Junta" to have ethical and moral actions when it comes to their designs on Ukraine?

Neocon ilk rejoice and gloat every time Russians are killed, a ship is sunk, or they have video of a tank being blown up. Your psychological projection means you assume that we do the same to Ukraine. WRONG.

This war, started, provoked and promoted the US Junta and CIA, (is that still in dispute among team Zeeper?) has been a disaster for average Ukrainians. Its very sad how much they have been screwed.

Putin probably already has updated Russia’s nuclear targets to include Sweden now. Welcome to NATO.

The fact that you keep repeating the Russian line that we "provoked" the war simply betrays your fundamental ignorance.

The Ukrainians like Poles, Czechs and everyone else in Eastern Europe simply want the Russian boot off their necks. Some have struggled for centuries to achieve that. This is also, by the way, what we promised them. Remember the expression, "captive nations"?

The fact that the junta is supporting Ukraine halfheartedly and mainly because Ukrainian resistance shamed them into doing so just proves the adage that a broken clock is right twice a day. Remember those cowards were willing to write off the whole country when they offered Zelensky a ride out.

I also laugh at you people who think throwing Ukraine under the bus will prevent war. It would simply produce a far bigger one. That's an inevitability given that Russia has returned to its historical mean of being a predatory, looting empire. It won't stop until it is forced to stop.

You can be sure Stockholm has been targeted for decades. You have to be a moron to think pledging neutrality means anything to Moscow.

NATO = the military wing of the New World Order.

Sweden is a neopagan wasteland and ground zero for godless, secular humanism. It will fit right in.

US problems are domestic.

Well, we certainly have invited aggression abroad, with Biden's weakness abroad. But, then again, we, or at least Biden, has managed to forget that the first priority of a responsible gov't is defense:

Even the voice of the CIA, the New York times admits the USA helped arrange the overthrow of Yanukovych, and then turned Ukraine into a CIA client state.

But go ahead and promote the “We had no hand in this” nonsense.

No one believes you anyway.
