Inspite of Putin’s delusions, neither NATO nor Ukraine invaded Russia - end of story.

How many native Americans did WE starve to death?

Ukraine wants to be free of Russia?

Define Ukraine, now define Ukraines corrupt government.

Zelensky was put in place by the US through “color revolutions” and a coup we pushed on a duly elected leader.

WE are the problem, and the world increasingly sees what we do, and HATES US with a purple passion. When we fall, being an American will get you beat up, and urinated on if you are lucky. We are simply the worlds bully.

The details merely mimic Putin’s claims, without question, and deny Putin speeches, from very early on and still, that demonstrated he has always considered Ukraine part of Russia and thinks no eastern European (former soviet states) should be in NATO. Putin is the imperialist he and his trolls claim he is not.

“How many nations do we have troops in? 200?300? 5?”

Correct, 500 nations.

“I absolutely am.”

Then why do so many nations have embassies and consulates there, and have Ukrainian embassies and consulates in their countries?

You can deny it all you want; but the reality is what it is.

“Your Canadian opinion hold zero weight on an American forum.”

Oh? Then all of your Russian links hold zero weight, as well.

“They knew that this expansion of NATO into Ukraine would cause a war with a nuclear power. These are the same boys that stole The 2020 election in America putting America on a collision course with domestic war.”

You are aware, aren’t you, that President Trump sent a hell of a lot of weaponry to Ukraine during his presidency? Was he expanding NATO, too?

“This makes sense... Back in the 60’s WE didn’t want Cuba with missiles 90 miles off our border either...”

We didn’t want Cuba with OFFENSIVE Russian NUCLEAR missiles, but we accepted defensive missiles, and one of them even shot down one of our U2s flown by Major Rudolf Anderson, USAF.

“I’m an American.”

Then why do you show the Irish national flag on your home page? And, before that, the Jamaican flag? But, not the American flag?

No. In fact he seemed rather tough on NATO. Weapons is one thing, NATO is something else entirely.
