Ah yes, lay down your arms forever we won’t invade we promise. Says the country that previously promised to never invade when Ukraine gave up its nukes and did it anyway. The promises of the Russian government regarding the security of Ukraine are at best meaningless and at worst actively malicious. The definition of insanity is letting Russia take over parts of whatever country they feel like, based off whatever del…

I agree with you but would like to qualify one point: > The definition of insanity is letting Russia take over parts of whatever country they feel like, based off whatever deluded reasoning they spew. To be fair, Krim was actually almost completely Russian. So it’s not some random deluded reasoning, it’s basically the same reasoning that Hitler used to get Austria and the Sudetenland. You know, merge the Russian land…

Aaaand.. lets dig up the history books, how did crimea become this way- and there it is, ethnic cleansing and replacement with russian civilians during the ruling of the ussr.

Thats how a lot of the baltic states in the regions got their russian minorities today. Deport the elite, import russians to life in their homes.

Hitlers crimes were rolled back, this crimes stayed and lingered and even worse, are the recipe for todays conquests. This is what ukraine can expect, if putin is victorious. Mass deportations and replacements.

It is also the "unoffical" reason why the "planted" people their need russia "for protection" against a "genocide". Every accusation a confession.

Yeah, every single country in the region clawed their way out of Russian sphere of influence (or tries, including even Belarus), but it's NATO's fault. Totally nothing to do, with years of being kept back in order to feed oligarchs.

The US wants a military present in Europe, and with the disintegration of USSR and calls for an EU army, the Americans needed to create a volatile situation in Europe to preserve NATO. They've achieved their political goal. Remains to be seen what Russia's goals are and how successful it will be.

And how exactly Americans created volatile situation in Europe?

Seems that Russia is very invested in American success, because there's no single tense situation in Europe without some Russians meddling in the background, which greatly contributes to volatility level.

Btw concept of EU army actually existing is pure fantasy (I assume used to scare non-informed people in Russian media).
