    Or NATO was going to install nuclear launch sites next door to Russia. But if you gloss over that fact then yes, Russia bad.

    Analogy: Mexico lets a US adversary install nuclear launch sites just south of the USA border. How do we think that would go? Mexico would be the pawn.

    What’s happening in Ukraine is a result of USA/EU actions, and Ukraine not being smart enough to pick up a history book and see how the USA uses poor countries as fodder. They must be shoveling mass money and cocaine at Zelensky. It’s all literally a case of “well well, the consequences of our actions.” The USA just wants resources and nuclear launch sites.

    Russia doesn’t really give a shit about Nazism in Ukraine

    they certainly do. But America has trouble relating because we were all cushy and safe over here while Russia was ratfucked by Nazi Germany. Russians still know the songs about the Great Patriotic War.

      Why? What’s the difference of having launch sites in kieve compared to having launch sites in Germany, or even on a submarine in the artic circle? It’s not the 60’s anymore, we already have more than enough capacity to Russia if it came to nuclear war.

      Ukraine not being smart enough to pick up a history book and see how the USA uses poor countries as fodder.

      Yeah, because historically it’s been America who’s done horrible things in their country? Has the US used and abused it’s allies? Of course, just go ask the ask the Kurds. But it’s ignorant to believe that Russia hasn’t practiced their own form of militant imperialism. Militant imperialism that has and is still personally effecting their country.

      The USA just wants resources and nuclear launch sites.

      Yes, we are super desperate for …sunflower oil and wheat?

      Where did this insane theory about nuclear launch sites come from? America hasn’t expanded launch sites since 87’. If NATO was wanting more sites, don’t you think they would have put some in Poland by now?

      they certainly do. But America has trouble relating because we were all cushy and safe over here while Russia was ratfucked by Nazi Germany.

      Lol, yeah… Putin hates Nazis, which is why they have a pmc named Wagner, whos previous co founder was a self confessed neo nazi.

      Nazism is a problem everywhere in the post Soviet eastern block, including Russia. While the soviets were in power they strictly banned nazi imagery, for obvious reasons. When Gorbachev loosened state control over media and other censorship laws, the swastika became an anti state and anti communist symbol.

      This was often adopted by criminal organization in and around the Soviet block. These same criminal organizations had the capital to buy up state controlled companies as the soviets auctioned off state companies to private interes, becoming some of the oligarchy now controlling the Russian state.
