Is this because NATO will never stop prosecuting this war against Russia and negotiate a peace, and that’s why this war will expand into a world war like everybody has been saying?
You have it backwards, comrade. Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 and 2022. Russia refuses to withdraw

Ike told us to leave NATO in 10 years. We have kept troops there 9/2/45. Korea is no better. America FIRST.
Ike was a strategic idiot, who would have had the USSR win the Cold War. He was also the genous behind nuclear proliferation/"Atoms for Peace"

This guy is more honest that Biden, Harris, Raskin, Pelosi, Little Debby, and Durbin all rolled up into one.

This war is unnatural as it’s being 100% funded and organized by another country who feels none of the ill effects of the war(yet) and thus has no incentive for peace. It’s the reason why this war grinds on and on. If America wasn’t footing the bill this war likely would never have even happened. Ukraine would simply remain in Russia’s orbit and everybody, including Ukrainians, would’ve been better off. America is seriously screwing up the world right now. That’s clear.

Ukraine is paying for the Illegal Russian invasion and war of conquest. The US is paying the largest amount among foreign nations, but nowhere near all of it, and other countries are spending far more in terms of their GDP. They are doing so, because KGB Russia trying to restore the Soviet Empire is a threat to Europe. Putin wants to conqueror Ukraine, Moldova, and the Baltic Republics. Ukraine would not be better off controlled by a country that has repeatedly committed cultural genocide and genocide against Ukrainians. It would not be better off controlled by a foreign regime that considers its existence illegitimate any more than Poland was under the Nazis and Soviets.

We are stabilizing the world system and upholding our promises. The US, UK, and Russia agree to respect and protect Ukrainian borders in exchange for Ukraine giving up nukes and strategic weapons and systems.

Ukraine was under de facto Russia control up until 2014. Was there a lot of genocide going at that time in Ukraine? Or are you talking about events from the distant past by Stalin and the old now defunct Soviet Union?

When you speak of Ukrainian genocide I have to wonder if America and NATO aren’t responsible for the 500,000 dead Ukrainians who have died in our proxy war given that we prevented the peace deal between Zelensky and Putin.

America and NATO wanted this war to take place and it will likely lead to a world war.

You know what the sad thing about all of this is? Russia is now building a military juggernaut where a meager peacetime army once stood and they may now believe that peaceful coexistence with The West is not possible.

Regarding Russian expansionism, your predictions are more of a self fulfilling prophecy. NATO has created the very thing that they fear with their reckless and stupid handling of Ukraine. They should’ve taken the peace deal and respected Russia’s concerns...now...

There is a big difference between indirect rule via a collaborationist government and direct occupation after declaring Ukraine and illegitimate country. And Prior to 2014, the politics in Ukraine swung between Ukrainian nationalist parties and parties more favorable to Russia on a small margin.
The cultural genocide of Ukrainians was Russian policy for over a century. They called it Russification. It was suppressing Ukranian language and culture and colonizing Ukraine with non-Ukrainians.

When you speak of Ukrainian genocide I have to wonder if America and NATO aren’t responsible for the 500,000 dead Ukrainians who have died in our proxy war given that we prevented the peace deal between Zelensky and Putin.
Putin wanted this war and planned it with Beijing. He thought Ukraine in 2014 would act like Georgia in 2008 and thought that he could quickly conquer Ukraine in 2022. NATO and Biden didn't want a war and showed the world that Putin wanted one and was preparing an invasion.

America and NATO wanted this war to take place and it will likely lead to a world war.
Thanks for the Lord Haw Haw interpretation. Next blame Jews or the Khazarian Mafia.

Their Navy is dying. Their air force keeps retreating, and the Russian army is now dependent on North Korean munitions. That's not a juggernaut.

Regarding Russian expansionism, your predictions are more of a self fulfilling prophecy. NATO has created the very thing that they fear with their reckless and stupid handling of Ukraine. They should’ve taken the peace deal and respected Russia’s concerns...now...
Backwards land again. Russian Expansionism grows NATO as it makes non-members want to join. Ukraine could not join NATO in 2022
