USA, the great; but the governments now, can't protect our own borders, don't care about our electoral integrity, yet want to shed my blood for Ukraine? You care more for their borders? Why? How come?
We kept poking Putin, what did you think he would do? You kept poking for war, well now you got it, and when Ukraine falls, you used this to cover up failed vaccine and COVID crimes; what next?
How did we go from COVID 24/7, to no COVID? Is the Nobel prize in order for Vlad given his role in bringing an end to COVID in a mere few hours. This is no joke. I know everything that CNN and FOX is reporting on Russia-Ukraine, is a lie. Propaganda now.
What will you do when Ukraine falls, the west, for you did this, as ruthless as he is, this did not need happen, so you kept poking him, for 15 years…he said dont fool around with his borders and his safety, but you could not leave it alone…you just had to pressure him about going on his door step yet expected him to sit back…now see what you did. And you are poking China now?
Why cant you address the crimes on our streets, our broken porous border that you caused, the high risk people pouring in, the dangerous drugs pouring in, the vicious and painful child trafficking at the border, the inflation you created, the devastation to the military with the Afghan pullout, the devastatingly utter garbage education our children get in schools (oh so now you are mad we parents got to see with the school closures, the pure junk being taught to our kids by you)…all of this is wrong and as we circle the drain, yet you want me to cry over a former part of the Soviet Union when there are parts of my nation that looks like an even greater war zone? Under you? When the price of gas just keeps going up and you have no solution? That you lied 100% for 2 years on COVID and you the same lying BS, lowlife media, the same corrupted rags, want us to believe you? Now? Gimme a beak. On a nation that is considered one of the most corrupted globally? Where connected people’s children and buddies go to get bogus contracts and hold senior posts in oil and gas yet have zero skill in the sector? No doubt this is brutal and wrong, but we have serious issues on our home front.
Sorry this is long but I hope it will be worth your time to read. My dad was raised in an abusive, poor, alcoholic home. Books were his escape. He graduated high school at 17 and turned 18 on the battlefield in Vietnam pinned in on a mountaintop watching friends die. When he came home he became a journalist. While he left the profession young to give my family a better life, our gain and the world’s loss, his text messages to me are written better, and are more informative. Even in his 70’s he is a living encyclopedia of human history.
I asked for his thoughts on an article he apparently didn’t think much of 😂. He’s already given me an over view of the geographical ethnic divisions which are key to the reason many think it will end in partition.
Here were his thoughts last night:
“Hi. I was confused about the article. In any event, the issue here is NATO. A little history is in order. First, Stalin defeated Hitler. Eighty percent of German casualties were on the Eastern front. The success of the D-Day Normandy landings were important in keeping Stalin from over-running Western Europe, which he certainly would have done had they failed. Stalin was acutely aware that in 1814, Czar Alexander I, after forcing Napoleon out of Russia, pursued him to Paris. The Napoleonic wars ended with Russian cavalry in Paris. Stalin wanted to emulate him, spreading the Communist revolution to the Atlantic. NATO was formed after Stalin’s death In 1953 but with Stalin’s aspirations still in the air. It was a defensive pact — a shield against Soviet expansionism. After the Soviet Union collapsed, NATO changed. Instead of a shield to protect Western Europe, it became a sword aimed at the Russians. During negotiations prior to the collapse of the Soviet Union, James Baker
, Bush I’s Secretary of State, promised Gorbachev three times that NATO would not move “one inch” to the East. Der Spegiel, the German magazine, wrote an article early this month saying the Germans promised Gorbachev the same thing. In 1996, NATO began accepting former Eastern Bloc countries into alliance. The last to be accepted were the Baltic states. Although formerly part of Russia, they are heavily Germanic from virtue of their creation by the Teutonic Knights in the late Middle Ages. Ukraine and Belorussia are different. Both are ethnically Slavic, the same as the Russians. Ukraine was an integral part of Russia for hundreds of years. What we are seeing in Ukraine today is a civil war. The United States might have played a productive role in peace mediations and possibly prevented the war. The neocons in charge of policy today have nixed that. I think the war will end in partition and bitter feelings all around. Our policy here is comprehensively incomprehensible. Sad.
We have no vital national interests in Ukraine except peace. We tried nation-building in Iraq, and that didn’t work out too well. This whole affair is a disaster. Ukraine is being destroyed. An idealist would say the Ukrainians are creating their own country by dying for it. The problem is, even if they win, which I doubt, they lose. Victory means winning a war-ravaged landscape with a hateful neighbor to the east. There will be no end to the animosity. The same people who took us into catastrophic wars in a Iraq and Afghanistan are doing the same thing in Ukraine, with the same results.
What’s the point? Good question. At the end of the First World War, after all the bloodshed and destruction, no one could remember what the war was about. The same thing was true in Vietnam, if not more so.”
Yes china and India enjoying discounted oil from Russia while the west suffers with petrol prices. Our military forced to take dangerous experimental biologicals, now gov’ts in the west going after the kids with these dangerous vaccines. The “war” is phony. It is a distraction. Triple jabbed getting covid around the western nations that vaxxed like crazy. Oh and goofy Brandon wants to put more sanctions on Russia. Why? It is the west who will suffer. Wake up people this distraction is going to plan. Is this really what you want? A phony war stripping you further of you rights and your cash?
