    They can’t and they never could. NATO used the conflict as a proxy war to weaken their Geopolitical enemy, Russia. Down to the last Ukrainian. The Goverment us now also throwing women into the war.

    A Peace Treaty could have been put in place back in 2022, but the UK in behalf of NATO told them to throw it out and fight. Look at them now, the USA is done with them. Funding is over. Hundreds of thousands dead for next to difference, the Ukrainians decimated. Not to mention dead Russians which was the USA’s calculus. I mean, they say this openly now. A proxy war meant to weaken Russia.

    And before anyone who drank the Kool-Aid thinks I am a Russian supporter, go screw yourselves. I have no care for Putin. The reality is that the USA and NATO promised to not entrench themswvles into Russia’s sphere of influence back in 1985, and then proceeded to immediately break their word for the next 30 years. Playing behind the scenes manipulating the Ukrainian goverment for the last 20 years. Essentially the same shit that we all call Russia out for doing.

    The Cuban missile crisis almost threw us into WW3 because the Russians dared to stretch its field of influence to 90 miles off Florida. But when NATO does the same and more, somehow Russia is meant to not care? Come on. I agree that we are biased but we cannot be so blind of such hypocrisy.

    No superpower wants another superpower, either next to their borders or for even near. China funds North Korea just so they do not have South Korean jexto their border and the USA had a fit with Cuba back in the Kennedy days.

    It is just the same old Geopolitics, played by the USA, Chiba, Russia et al. But you could not say this 2 years ago, because our propaganda pushed the notion that stating reality somehow made people “Putin puppets.” Got to give it to USA propaganda, made people feel so strongly about a country most Americans could not have even been able to find on a map days prior.

      It’s worse than that when you learn the US already had nuclear missiles that close to the USSR.

      Rules for thee, not for me.

        The mere fact that you have been mostly down voted educates me that people reading your points do not care for objectivity. Hence the reason I think that I am likely to be voted the same. Despite the fact you are objectively correct.

          Russophobia is real and it’s an all pervasive mind virus on this site. Russia bad, so everything Russia does is bad no matter what.

    Although men aged between 18 and 60 are barred from leaving Ukraine under martial law imposed at the start of the war, at least 650,000 men of fighting age have fled to Europe in the past two years, according to European Union data cited by the BBC.

    Critical support to the Ukrainian men realizing that their government wants them to be slaughtered like pigs with no real end in sight. Russia will win this war and only the West and the Zelenskyy regime has themselves to blame.
