NONSENSE!! There is NO future in the past. And there should be NO future for NATO states to border Russia. Everything was just fine in the European theatre, Russia was NO threat to anyone, Ukraine and Russia were their largest trading partners, Ukrainians were very happy and FREE, and rebuilding their country with the HELP of Russia, THEN, along comes the USA promoting that Ukraine join NATO and promising that we would "HAVE THEIR BACKS", just like we "HAD THE BACKS" of the Afghans. BULLSHIT!! THE SOLUTION: STOP PROMOTING NATO MEMBERSHIP. There was NOT and is NOT ANY legitimate reason for any NATO member to share a border with Russia. it was the US and NATO, using their patsy, Zelensky, that are responsible for this tragedy, NOT Russia.
Regardless of any provocation from Nato, we are now flirting with nuclear war thanks to the Russian military rolling into Ukraine. This is utter madness. We are putting the entire future of humanity at risk due to the petty immortality projects of power hungry primates.
Playing 19th century imperialist games with 21st century weapons technology is incomprehensibly anti-human.
Thanks to our godlike powers of destruction, we are now in a situation where hatred of one's fellow man is no longer a luxury we can afford. And so, if we do not orient toward flourishing together, we will by default orient toward perishing apart. I hope I am wrong.
NATO started the conflict back in 2014, and could stop sending weapons and allow the DPR/Russia to end this civil war, complete their humanitarian removal of Nazi genocide. Any nuclear strikes would be from the West...and yes, American war mongers have really made a mess in Eastern Europe, Syria, Afghanistan, and soon China. We have learned nothing
We seem to have quite different understandings of basic facts of this situation.
However, what I will say is that I have little doubt that there are malevolent actors on all sides of this conflict. The West has power hungry monkeys in positions of influence just the same as Russia does. Humans are fallible, flawed, limited primates. As Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn put it:
"If only it were all so simple! If only there were evil people somewhere insidiously committing evil deeds, and it were necessary only to separate them from the rest of us and destroy them. But the line dividing good and evil cuts through the heart of every human being. And who is willing to destroy a piece of his own heart?"
This is why we must have open exchange of information and freedom of expression and an independent free press so that truth can be sought after and the powerful can be held to account.
Sadly, this is true. And the Russia phobia that crossed the United States and infected these weak and dependent EU countries fueled NATO's game plan. I believe that President Putin did not want to sever his country from Europe and the United States, but their lies and ridiculous sanctions did the work for him. Maybe it's karma, but these NATO allies are all suffering bad inflation and crazy energy costs.
It seems to me Citizen Putin customarily plays Black. Invading Ukraine does not look like this, but considering that the neocon faction of the US ruling class has been boosting war to destroy the Russian state for several years, when the plan was actually put into action Mr. P decided he had to Do Something and invading Ukraine was Something so he did it. It may be that he thinks he can win a war of attrition against the US -- the US is not in such great shape either, and seems to be machinegunning its feet -- but just as there is a lot of Russia there is also a lot of US, so attrition may take a long time. In any case, one must ask what his alternatives were. Sometimes one must, indeed, Do Something.

And he told this in his speech where he's going next. Latvia and Estonia... I wonder what his reason will be for invading them?
