Isn't it interesting how the "narrative" is twisted to conform to the theme of the moment?
While I prefer commenting / responding to others using one or more hotlinks to allow verification of a source, this picture says a great deal about the "narrative" and "fundamental transformation" and "flexibility."
If one recalls the Obama administration and its color revolutions was one of fundamental transformations of governments not our own. So much for "democracy" from Democrats.
So, what you are saying is that ALL AROUND THE WORLD, it always boils down to MONEY and POWER.
>> NATO:
None of those involved NATO forces invading a country. There was no invasion, no conflict.
As always, every country that has joined NATO has asked to join NATO.
Finland joining NATO was not an act of aggression against Finland in any sense of the word.
That Russia perceived it as an act of aggression against Russia is irrelevant, and says more about Russian paranoia than it does about NATO. And is exactly why Finland, Hungary, et al., felt it necessary to seek NATO membership.
Still repeating this lie. All these territories have Ukrainian majorities, Zaporizhzhia an Kherson by a substantial amount.
Why use troops when they can bomb the crap out of them?
NATO bombings include:
Add Ukraine to this list.
cite your source and explain why the people in each territory voted in excess of 90% to leave Ukraine.
Shades of April Glaspie and Saddam Hussein.
Lol.
“Where do you morons come from? It would have never happened under Trump. Russia is not a threat to us, they are only a threat to corruption in the US and nato.”
Chugging down them Bud Lites again Jo?
Daily hacking attacks against our power grid and other critical infrastructure and they’re not a threat?
Daily hacking and ransomware attacks against our healthcare, financial and manufacturing systems and they’re not a threat?
Developing first strike nuclear weapons in violation of the START treaties and they’re not a threat?
Development of intermediate range nuclear weapons in violation of the INF treaty and they’re not a threat?
Their alliance with Iran and they’re not a threat?
You seriously need some help dealing with that alcohol induced psychosis.
“You seriously need some help dealing with that alcohol induced psychosis.”
I’m thinking it’s not a psychosis, but a plan, paid for by the Russians. There are several others here on FR that are suspicious in their support of the expansionist Russian program.
They claim that freedom is a threat to Russia, when Russia smashes its neighbors. I think that they are afraid of Russia shrinking to its natural ethnic borders, instead of the imperial borders.
Russia isn’t part of the West. There were periods in their history where Russia reached out to the West. Peter the Great. Then Boris Yeltsin. But for most part of their history, they want nothing to do with the West.
The 2001 Ukrainian census. Do you dispute these numbers? If so, what is your source? I am sorry if the facts do not match the Kremlin propaganda.
explain why the people in each territory voted in excess of 90% to leave Ukraine.
Are you really going to try to defend the legitimacy of those so-called referenda? There was no public debate, no rallies of the two sides of the question. They were conducted under military occupation and the counting was done by Russian personnel without any opposition observers. Additionally, the Russians did not hold the entirety of any of the oblasts. In particular, they did not even hold the major city of Zaporizhzhia. The claimed results are also risible and only to be seen in the Soviet Union and North Korea.
Please provide concrete evidence to the contrary.
I just did.
Sorry, that’s insufficient
“they want nothing to do with the West.”
Yeah, except when it comes to cars, planes, electronics, movies, music, fashion, etc, etc, etc, etc, etc.
