The correct article, but at the same time it is funny how the author is obliged to start with the words: "Vladimir Putin's decision to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine is a monstrous act of aggression that has plunged the world into a perilous situation..."
After these words, the whole article tells why this attack was justified, but the tribute to the "free, thinking media" was given.

The U.S. and NATO Helped Trigger the Ukraine War.

Vladimir Putin's decision to launch a full-scale invasion of Ukraine is a monstrous act of aggression. But that doesn't mean the West did nothing to provoke it.

' "(Konflikt) bespokoit ne tol'ko menia, no tselyi mir.
The conflict worries me but also worries the whole world.

The situation of a military confrontation is not a solution.

No v to zhe vremia nado videt' prichiny etoi problemy pochemu voznikla takaia situatsiia mezhdu Rossiei i Ukraine.
But at the same time, one must see the reasons for this problem, why such a situation arose between Russia and Ukraine.

Boliviia, soglasno Konstitutsii, mirnaia, strana-antiimperialist, my ne priemlem, chto instituty s voennoi strategiei primeniaut politku ekspansii, interventsii, kak NATO podchalom USA, v etom problema," otmetil Morales.
Bolivia, according to the Constitution, is a peaceful, anti-imperialist country, we do not accept that institutions with a military strategy apply a policy of expansion, intervention, like NATO under the leadership of the USA, this is the problem," said Morales.'

The statement that Russia cannot be trusted is stupid. Russia is the only country of significance, that keeps its word.
Regarding the fact that Putin seeks to take back the lands of the USSR, you probably don't know that for 8 years Putin has been saying that Donbass is ukrainian territory and trying to push it back into Ukraine. The residents of Donbass did not want this at all, well-acquainted with the customs of fascist Ukraine. What started on February 24 should have been done in 2014, there would have been much less losses and more support from the population. But better late than never.

I had a liberal college professor say almost those exact same words back in the 80s. I openly questioned his honesty on that statement. When he told me I was dead wrong, I pulled a copy of Aviation Week and Space Technology out and showed him the cover story. Russia had violated the SALT treaty by adding air-to-air refueling capability to its Blackjack bombers, in direct violation of the treaty. My professor admitted defeat and the class got a good chuckle watching a freshman Navy aerospace engineering student (at the time) showing up the professor.

Link? You fail to cite your claim.

 

[Admiral Rockwell Tory]

Really? Who the hell are you, to decide if you going to attack or not? All you are allowed is to go and vote for the next protege of the financial bourgeoisie once every few years. Your opinion is nothing to them. And war is a very profitable business for them. Profit, саpish?

Capish? WTF does that mean?

I would appreciate your attention to this matter, Comrade.

China Echoes Russian Accusation That the U.S. Is Funding Biological Weapons Research in Ukraine and Other Countries "Under Its Control."

The Chinese Foreign Ministry's Zhao Lijian demanded the U.S. "give a full account." As we've already pointed out on other threads, a "full account" is already problematic for the USA.

I understand the War profiteers have existed forever. Your country does the same so pardon me when I don't give a damn about your virtue signaling here. I understand the Globalist are in bed with all the big money gas bags.

Here and in your Russia IVAN........

Doesn't change that your side invaded for taking the land of ALL UKRAINE.......Putin wants the port of Odessa and the fertile land in Ukraine. This fight is over RESOURCES, and strategic advantages for Russia............

Not NATO.......Not FREEDOM.......it is about POWER..........And the X KGB WANTS IT.

There is an old, but very good series called " The Money Masters'. The whole series is about 3 1/2 hours long. It's worth a look, especially today.



Ukraine used to be a healthy nuclear power.

Ukraine used to be a healthy nuclear power.

It has never been healthy or nuclear. That is, for a while she had soviet missiles, but the keys to them were in Moscow.

Why are there three bio weapons labs in Ukraine?.... and why doesn't our media seem curious about that...

 

[MinTrut]

Where Mr.Carpenter is wrong is when he writes that NATO expansion was a poke in the eye to Russia. The reason Baltic Nations and the eastern European nations wanted NATO membership was because Russia could not be trusted. Putin has always made clear his territorial ambitions to restore the old Soviet empire. The sad fact is that war like this was inevitable under Putin. Putin is willing to destroy his own nation and others as well in order to fulfill his dream of the Russian version of Lebensraum.

Naw.

Putin's a relative moderate, but he had to act on Ukraine.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

He told/warned them for ten damn years or better but now they are all surprised when it happened?

All Whites Are Ruled by Ignoramuses

Iraq had been claiming Kuwait as part of its territory since 1961. So why was Dumbo Dubya surprised?

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

Yeah ---- It's a question of whether people respect buffers and spheres of influence. Like our Cuba and China's Taiwan. Russia and German have always, always wanted buffer countries between them, and now the EU/NATO is eating away all Russia's buffer zones.

Also, bigger is better: every dictator knows that. The bigger the country, the more powerful, and Siberia still doesn't count. Ukraine used to be Russian, as did Moldova and all the Baltics, and yes, Putin wants them back. The bigger his territory on the western side, the more powerful Russia is.

It's never subtle. Invading countries just want the land! And if they decide to keep the people, they'll use them for labor or soldiers.

The Ukraine Had Been a Participating Part of Russia for a Thousand Years. It Is a Region, Not a Country.

As if Soviet Russia made peons out of Khrushchëv and Gorbachëv, who were Ukrainians.

 

[The Sage of Main Street]

This whole Ukraine war is based on lies.

Putin’s empire of lies | The Strategist

Vladimir Putin’s regime has banned Russian media from referring to his invasion of Ukraine as a ‘war’. Instead, it is to be framed as ‘an operation to liberate Ukraine from neo-Nazis’. The state-run RIA news ...

www.aspistrategist.org.au

Putin has shown himself to be a master liar. He lied to his soldiers; he has rigged elections; he has killed and attempted to kill political opponents; Putin and his oligarch friends have stolen hundreds of billions of dollars from the Russian people. Putin is said to be worth $200 billion dollars. Putin could never be trusted.

[The Sage of Main Street]

Just another worthless Russkie polluting the Forum with propaganda. We've been invaded just like Ukraine, with all these Putin Minions.

Run-Run-Run-Run Runaway

Ukraine has been like the missing child on a milk carton. It has been found and is being returned to Mother Russia.

 

[Delldude]

It has never been healthy or nuclear. That is, for a while she had soviet missiles, but the keys to them were in Moscow.

Keys may have been in Moscow, but the ingenuity was in Kiev. Had the US quite concerned.

The Locks From Monolith

While Ukraine's claimed nuclear inheritance is substantial and in excellent shape, its weapons-related facilities represent a series of disjointed fragments severed from the old Soviet-wide, integrated system. Thus Ukraine's ability to assert positive control over the nuclear weapons on its territory would depend on the ability of its scientists and military officers to pull these pieces into an effective system -- and overcome any Russian efforts to stop them.

Ukraine's most potent nuclear weapons, its 176 intercontinental ballistic missiles or ICBMs, offer an example of this predicament. These ICBMs are very long-range missiles with multiple warheads designed to strike a number of targets on a single mission. The missiles are of two kinds: 130 Russian-built SS-19 missiles and 46 SS-24 missiles. The latter were constructed at a Ukrainian factory whose director is now the country's prime minister, Leonid Kuchma.


To take positive control of these missiles, Ukrainian scientists would have to take three steps, Western and Russian experts say: obtain unrestricted physical control of the warheads, unlock or circumvent the blocking devices that prevent unauthorized missile launches and reprogram the missiles' targeting systems.

The blocking devices are essentially electromagnetic locks that can be opened by launch officers who possess the correct codes. These codes are now held by Russian President Boris Yeltsin and the senior Russian military command.

But Ukrainian scientists have special knowledge of the devices, having produced them at a formerly top-secret Ukrainian factory known as Monolith. U.S. officials said they believe the mathematicians and technicians who have worked at the Monolith plant -- which is near the Krylov academy in greater Kharkov -- possess sufficient expertise either to break the codes or to circumvent the devices altogether by replacing them with new ones of their own manufacture.

But unplugging the existing blocking devices is not as easy as it sounds. For one thing, it would threaten a major international crisis, specialists said. This is because the existing system is linked to computers in Moscow that monitor continuously the status of every former Soviet nuclear missile 24 hours a day. If Ukraine ever took the radical step of unplugging the Moscow-linked blocking devices to substitute new ones, the Russian military command would know it instantly, specialists said. Ukraine's government might thus be risking sudden and possibly massive retaliation by a superior Russian military.
