    NATO expansion:

    NATO in general:

    Especially with new leadership.

    Zelensky was a comedian groomed by oligarchs. He played a president on TV and then ran for president on TV. This was planned out in advance. Zelensky has never been in control because he was an actor in way over his head, beholden to US comprador oligarchs, and his life is openly threatened by high-level Banderite fascists should he get out of line. And he’s quite wealthy now, an oligarch in his own right. He’s in no way a “servant of the people;” that’s an act played by an actor.

      So Russia being as large and Powerful as they supposedly are can’t perform diplomacy and has to murder and bomb people? I’m still not hearing any reason that Russia should be murdering people.

        Russia has been attempting to perform diplomacy with the west since before 2014. That’s what Minsk agreements, which the west now admitted were meant to buy time to arm their regime in Ukraine, were supposed to be all about. Funny how you conveniently forgot about that.

          And instead of continued diplomacy, they chose murder. Got it.

            Again, weird framing given that murder was started by Ukraine in Donbas. But I guess when facts don’t fit with your narrative, you just ignore them. Quite telling that this is what you support.

            They chose to put a stop to slaughter of civilians by their own government
