So the land is theirs and they are Free to take it anytime they please.........
Hungary used to own some of that..........maybe we should wake their dead and tell them to retake it because it used to be theirs........Prussia used to be it's own self.......But was with Germany......much of the land of Prussia was Russia\s....ummm no Germany took it........Oops Germany lost WWI. Poland was created........used to be part of Russia but now it's a bunch of nations that used to be PRUSSIA.....
Warsaw Pact gives rights to Russia to retake it.
Same old shit for Generations in Europe and this is nothing new............Yes I meant to put in run on batshit crazy statements in this reply because THAT IS EUROPE.
I WILL NOT IGNORE WHAT IS GOING ON AT THE BACK DOOR IN THIS CONFLICT.
It is none of our business.
Our nation is falling apart.
The only reason he invaded in the first place, is because of what we were doing in Ukraine.
If China did in Mexico, what we were doing in Ukraine? I can guarantee you, we would invade Mexico.
If China triggered a Communist revolution in Mexico City, and several Northern Mexican states didn't feel they wanted to go along with that? And the Mexican army amassed an army of 120,000 to invade those separatist northern states that didn't take a cotton to belt & road Chinese style communism, and wanted to align closer to Texan and Californian free markets? I guarantee you. . . as soon as we got intel that the Mexican army was about to invade those northern Mexican States that were friendly to Texas and California? We would probably not only move into destroy that army, but likewise, try to take Mexico City.
The situation would be NO DIFFERENT. IT was the US and Israel that pioneered the pre-emptive doctrine, so don't get all sanctimonious and bullshit with me.
I really, honestly wonder, how much you know, and knew, about the strategic situation, the force deployment of troops, of BOTH the Russians, and the Ukrainians, right before Russia invaded.
It is easy to condemn Russia. . .but you have to remember which nations set the precedent for pre-emptive invastions. . . Israel, and the United States. The size of the forces that were amassed on the Russian border, right before it invaded Ukraine, far outsized the forces that were amassed on Israel's border just prior to the six day war.
Myself? I don't think Zelenskyy or the allies in the IMF were going to have them actually go into the Crimea, but no one that is informed, has any doubt, that there was a complete operation that the allied powers had built up, and trained those forces for, the previous eight years. That is what they were there for. And that operation would not have been allowed had Trump been elected to office.
. . . but then? Anyone that knows anything about how this game is being played? Knows, that, that "election," was never going to happen, and Trump had no intention to "win."
They were never going to let that happen. Torie Nuland was going to make sure the invasion of the Donbas happened. . . until Putin told the Anglo-American alliance where they could shove that idea. . .
