The arguments put forth to attack Russia first. The amount of military adventures and “exercises” around Russia and the Black Sea all need a justification. My favorite is the war equivalent of a sucker punch: the preemptive war. To manufacture war and aggression you need to manufacture consent.

Typical cold war speak, but now one-sided and utterly hypocritical.

First we surround you and take any opportunity to exploit your grievances with your neighbor countries and get them in our fold against you(while we're a country half the way around the world, which should have no business in the area), and then we accuse you...

Who invaded Ukraine, the USA? Russia has a long history of fucking it's neighbors. Why do you think the entirety of Eastern Europe wants nothing to do with them. You think they'll stop at Ukraine, their goal is to restore the Soviet Union and keep all these countries under their thumb. Even Putin says it was the biggest mistake in Russian history to allow the break up of their Empire.

Putin is criminal and he is no friend of the West. His aircraft loiter around Alaska and he tests US defenses every hour. Don't be an apologist for a tyrant.

Please don't try to sell us the US boys as saints. They ain't. Very much the opposite.

US lost their narrative a while back. Lots of thrashing about as their population can see for themselves the world only needs defending from the US. Ofcourse we need the Ruskis and Chinese to react harshly to our provocations(in the wimpest way possible too). Sad, but good data points for future 'empires'

> their goal is to restore the Soviet Union

More like, restore the buffer zone with defensible geographic barriers that the Soviet Union had.

Russia’s geography is terrible for defense it being positioned in the “horde lands” which allow attacking armies to drive right through. Current Russian borders require huge armies to defend in a nation that is running out of suitable army personnel due to a terminally low birth rate for decades, widespread heroin addiction, disease etc.

This move by Russia has long been expected, and it won’t stop at the Ukraine.
