We stop swinging our nuts around for 6 months and russia is invading neighbors.

I don't mindlessly sit on here all day, sorry.

Guys, A quick google and anyone will know that America has bombed so many countries as to equate to 1/3rd of the population of the planet. While America is a very easy target (for non Americans), try staying on topic.

Rather then talking about what America has done (and continues to do) elsewhere, a better direction would be commenting on their foreign policy position which led to this war, i.e. that the U.S. did not accept Putin’s red line demand that Ukraine be denied entrance into NATO (which is the world’s most powerful military alliance). Changing the status quo at the world stage will always result in winners and losers. It is this point which can be determined as a complete failure of diplomacy on the part of the current American Political leadership (with Biden being the figurehead) as well as EU (Ursula Von Der Leyen being the figurehead there) and Nato. To be clear everone knows Putin is a bad guy and invading another country is wrong.

You could discuss what America is currently doing. i.e. Not sending troops but using sanctions to penalise Russia. This is a break from the norm because the stakes are so high. Once America officially sends troops the risk of an escalating conflict outside of Ukraine grows exponentially. As it stands at present it is only a matter of time before Russia "wins" Ukraine, noting if the West was going to do anything about it, they would have already. Thus, when I see Ukranian civilians being armed and told to fight I get quite depressed, noting the inevitable outcome is already known.

so,
1. russia gives warning for 10 years in a row
2. america and NATO keep ignoring it
3. russia attacks as promised if agreement gets broken
4. world inserts Surprised Pikachu Face

this is kinda tl;dr of the whole situation imo

pretty much that. sorry for repeating myself.

Guys we are not pro-russian, and what russia is doing is terrible. we are merely highlighting that russia is not the sole one to blame here, and russia is not trying to expand / take over the world.

The surprising part is how embarrassingly incompetent the Russian military is.. and what are we supposed to do? Give in to russias every demands because they ask for it? Every time they ask for something it’s never give and take it’s always “give us 99% of what we want and we won’t be mean in return” … the Russian economy is too weak to be demanding anything from anybody

Amazing how many people do not believe self defense is an inalienable right.

you sure act like it ^^

Lmao right?? Russia warned us if we didn’t give them what they wanted they’d do it anyways!!! If they commit heinous war crimes it’s okay because they told us they were going to do it!
