What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is almost 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukraine Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries were nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..
Also these people who advocate this view that Ukraine shroud just give up land and appeasement to Russians wants wishes are also being very ignorant to the fact that there were already treaties in place between Russia and Ukraine where Russia respecting the integrity of Ukraine's borders plus other treaties relating to the seas around Ukraine.
Putin has already broken those treaties.
Why would Ukraine believe Putin would stick to a new treaty when he's just broken half a dozen of the previous Russia Ukraine treaties and agreements.
Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.

Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2

---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also fighting a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed

CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE THIS WAR STARTED WITH CRIMEA AND WILL END AFTER CRIMEA IS LIBERATED AND BACK UNDER UKRAINIAN CONTROL !!
The 1994 context: a “cold war” for Crimea Crimea, populated by a mix of Ukrainians, Russians, and Crimean Tatars during the first half of the 20th century, was transferred BACK to Ukraine then former Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1954.
(remember the Crimean peninsula and Ukraine was and Ukraine forcefully against its will annexed into the Russian Empire in 1783 ; So in reality Ukraine nor Crimea has ever been Russian just occupied from some time in its history by Russia )
According to official Soviet logic, this transferred BACK to Ukraine would optimize the economy and management of the peninsula because of geographical reason of closure administration as Kyiv was closer than Moscow was to Crimea . (But culturally, the Russian leadership of the USSR was trying to suppress any Ukrainian influence in Crimea).
This had been Russia’s goal since the Russian Empire annexed the peninsula in 1783. That policy continued until Ukraine’s independence in 1991.
No Ukrainian schools were in Crimea, and Russian was spoken in public institutions. Although this was a standard imperial Russian and Soviet policy, it was especially reinforced in Crimea. In the 1991 referendum after the fall of the Soviet Union , 54% of Crimean residents at the time, voted for Ukrainian independence and for Crimean peninsula to join the newly independent Ukraine .
This was far below the national average of 90%, but it still indicated a pro-Ukrainian majority on the peninsula. At the same time, the vote was influenced by the legacy of Russian colonialism: According to the 2001 census, nearly 58% of Crimean residents considered themselves Russian by ethnicity, while 24% considered themselves Ukrainian and 12% identified as Crimean Tatar. Many of the latter group, deported from Crimea by Stalin in 1944, returned to the peninsula after Ukrainian independence in 1991.
Results of the 1991 referendum on supporting Ukraine’s independence from Russia by ever region was overwhelming for all of Ukraine in all of the country without exception ; not just in western Ukriane but also in East and south and Crimea . (don't believe me google; " 1991 referendum result for Ukraine independence by region " ) the results was as high as 97 % and no lower than 54 % for independence with the different regions /" oblasts "
(Also google and see the ; Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders that included Crimea as being belonging to Ukraine , both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum)
A primary source of animosity between Ukraine and Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union was the Black Sea Fleet. One of the most potent Soviet fleets, it was internationally staffed while under Russian control, contributing to the increased number of Russian settlers in Crimea. Based in the Ukrainian city of Sevastopol, the fleet had to become Ukrainian. According to the Parliament of Ukraine’s resolution, “On military formations in Ukraine,” adopted in 1991, all Soviet armed forces stationed in Ukraine formally became under parliamentary control. On 5 April 1992, then-President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk signed a decree putting those armed forces under the control of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense. Subsequently, on 7 April 1992, the then President of the Russian Federation, Boris Yeltsin, issued a decree putting the Black Sea Fleet under the control of the Russian Federation. After these competing decrees, the two presidents met, agreeing to “continue negotiations.” The result: a lack of agreement and the continuation of what had become a “cold war.” between the two Russian propaganda of the two " brothers nations "
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention. 2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
9. The 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE . The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments. One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time. Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.

It might be useful to recap some of the reason why Russia is now an outcast :
Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade; Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU;
Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries;
Provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace;
Russia's interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia;
Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers;
Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory;
Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region;
Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation";
Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict;
Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people;
Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006;
Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018;
among lots of other things to much to even list up ..
NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!

Summary: former states of the USSRs are now full independent states and their borders are defined and recognized by not just the international community , the UN and intr. org. treaties and agreements but when it comes to UKRAINE Russia itself RECOGNIZED Ukraines borders and territory in the 1991 ( Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords ) and in 1994 with the Budapest Memorandum and Russian back in 1991 recognized all the other internal borders of the USSR as international boards that now defines all the other different countries sovereign statehood . Those borders Russia recognized when it came to Ukraine clearly puts Crimea within Ukrainian territorial control . Period.

@sociopathstudio YOU SAY :
Do you believe that joining NATO was a necessity, based on the fact that Zelensky was warned by Russia not to....
MY ANSWER : Claim: NATO enlargement threatens Russia
Fact: Every country that joins NATO undertakes to uphold its principles and policies. This includes the commitment that "the Alliance does not seek confrontation and poses no threat to Russia," as reaffirmed at the Warsaw Summit. NATO enlargement is not directed against Russia.
Every sovereign nation has the right to choose its own security arrangements. This is a fundamental principle of European security, one that Russia has also subscribed to and should respect. NATO's Open Door policy has been a historic success. Together with EU enlargement, it has spread stability and prosperity in Europe since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Claim: Russia has the right to demand a "100% guarantee" that Ukraine will not join NATO
Fact: According to Article I of the Helsinki Final Act which established the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in 1975, every country has the right "to belong or not to belong to international organizations, to be or not to be a party to bilateral or multilateral treaties including the right to be or not to be a party to treaties of alliance." All the OSCE member states, including Russia, have sworn to uphold those principles.
In line with those principles, Ukraine has the right to choose for itself whether it joins any treaty of alliance, including NATO's founding treaty.
Moreover, when Russia signed the Founding Act, it pledged to uphold "respect for sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all states and their inherent right to choose the means to ensure their own security". Thus Ukraine has the right to choose its own alliances, and Russia has, by its own repeated agreement, no right to dictate that choice.

@sociopathstudio IS UKRAINIAN LANGUAGE LIGAL 2ND LINGO IN DPR , LPR, CRIMEA AND RUSSIA NO ITS NOT !! HYPOCRITE
Ukraine is ‘deeply divided along ethnic and linguistic lines is a myth used by the kremlin for propganda
Since gaining independence in 1991, Ukraine has mostly been a peaceful, ethnically and linguistically varied state, home to speakers of not only Ukrainian, but Russian, Eastern Yiddish, Rusyn, Romanian, Belarusian, Crimean Tatar, Bulgarian, Hungarian, Polish, Armenian, German and Greek.
While Ukrainian is the language most commonly spoken, Russian is also widely used, and many Ukrainians are equally proficient in both. Moreover, Ukrainians will switch between the two as the situation requires, sometimes using different languages to address the members of a single conversational group.
Politics had muddied the issue, but ethnic Ukrainians can be heard speaking Russian as well as Ukrainian. It is a mistake to identify a Russian-speaking Ukrainian as a “Russian,” just as it would be a mistake to say an American, Canadian, Australian, Irish person or Scot was “English” because they speak English.

If someone invades your country, your city is blown up and your farmland cannot be sown, and if football hooligans or even neo-Nazis are willing to fight with you to protect your home, I don't think you will refuse. At one time, Finns fought side by side with genuine Nazis to resist the Soviet Union, but no matter then or now, no one accused them, except the Russians, of course, just as they now accused Ukraine of cooperating with Nazis to resist their aggression.
In the 1940s, when you barely survived the famine and purges made by the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, you longed for revenge for what you and your family suffered. But who can you count on for help, America? The west? Now they are Stalin's allies, and the only one who can help you is the Nazis. In fact, not only Ukrainians, but also Russians themselves have armed forces cooperating with Nazis for the same reason, and even Solzhenitsyn has expressed their understanding. Of course, some people have adopted the more difficult road of "the Nazis came to fight the Nazis, and the Communist Party came to fight the Communist Party". We can respect the latter more, but we don't have to condemn the former cheaply.
Azov is not a neo-Nazi regiment. Azov is one of the units of the Ukrainian National Guard that is currently protecting civilians in Mariupol from destruction.
I must say that I haven’t found any article from 2010 about AZOV founder Andriy Biletsky and shortly after all the talking the came out of Russian media about the so called claims that Andriy Biletsky called for a crusade against “subbhumans”, The earliest article I have seen wasn’t only from 2015, but it also stated that Biletsky had denied those claims. And I wanna point out that when it comes to the Wolfsangel controversy, the “N” in the Azov Battalion’s symbol seems to not be inverted while the one in the actual Wolfsangel is, and in the actual Wolfsangel the central “I” seems to be shorter than the “N” while in the Azov Battalion’s symbol it’s taller.
Now lets take a look at some facts ;
1.Azov is not a paramilitary, but an official structure. Azov is one of the units of the Ukrainian National Guard under the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine. Azov has never been an unofficial unit: from the beginning it was part of the Ministry of Internal Affairs. Therefore, it is a mistake to call "Azov" militia. The Azov Battalion was established on May 5, 2014 in Berdyansk (the city, like Mariupol, is located on the shores of the Sea of Azov - hence the name). Azov was created by the decision of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Ukraine to involve in the protection of public order civilians who have experience in military service or have undergone training.
2. The only possible ideology of a unit of the National Guard is a disciplinary statute. Which, by the way, enshrines the obligation to "respect human rights, honor and dignity" and "refrain from statements and actions that violate human rights or degrade human honor and dignity." "We despise Nazism and Stalinism," said one of the last posts in the unit's official telegram channel (March 28). The far-right and in some cases neo-Nazi background of the Azov founders is true. This is partly reflected in the emblem of "Azov". Yes, this did not affect Azov's activities in any way. For example, in Mariupol there was a fairly large Jewish community, there was a synagogue, which in eight years has never encountered any problems with any fighter "Azov". The situation is similar with Muslims in the city or a large (about 100,000) Greek community. The greatest danger to the ethnic communities of Mariupol, as well as to all residents of the city, was the indiscriminate use of heavy weapons on civilian infrastructure by Russian aggressors.
3. From the very beginning, Azov's founders and fighters included people with a neo-Nazi background and far-right views. However, not all founders of the battalion had such a background. Among the first Azov fighters, for example, was a group of activists, including several ethnic Jews (and at least one Israeli citizen). Most far-right fighters left the regiment by the end of 2014. The rest of the right-wing radicals, who openly articulated their views, were deliberately expelled by the new regiment command in 2017. In recent years, there have been no grounds at all for accusations that neo-Nazis serve in the Azov Regiment. Ukrainians of different ethnic backgrounds (including Russians, Jews, Crimean Tatars, etc.), religious and political views have served and continue to serve in Azov. There are no restrictions in this sense. According to the heads of the unit, most of the personnel are Russian-speaking.
The main idea is not the AZOV logo itself but the meaning it has for the organization that is using it.
Just listen to the AZOV members and try to understand what this emblem means for them.
All the rest is actually bullshit. Why do AZOV members have to change their own sign just because it looks like a Wolfsangel.
"Idea of a nation" is a sign of AZOV battalion that fights for the freedom of Ukraine against Russian aggression. This is the only meaning.
For instance, if Slovenia and Slovakia both have the white-blue-red flags and they look like a Russian one.
Do they have to change their flags to not be associated with Russia?
No! Because Russian flag is Russian and their flags are their, it doesn't mean they consider themselves as Russian people.
Even if they are similar, it does not mean their meanings are the same.
Stop believing these conspiracy theories, just trust people who use these symbols, not their enemies.
At the end of the day. Many of the negative studies and reports came from the Russians. The Russians who also happened to be on the UN’s human rights council. I also want to remind people that these Russian separatists who by all definitions would be considered terrorists have been actually killing and kidnapping civilians in the region.
The brutality of the Russian separatists and Russian forces implanted in Ukraine created AZOV battalion. Quite literally the AZOV battalion are individuals who grew up facing Russian aggression in their communities for decades.
Have you seen the video of the Russian sniper Angel of death that was just caught. She’s responsible for killing plenty of civilians in the area. I love how on one hand people complain about Russian propaganda but eat it up with the other when someone mentions NAZI in a sentence. Quite literally there are Jewish members of AZOV even Chechen members who want to fight the Russians. I’m floored by the idea that hating Russia and not being fond of the west while they spit on you, somehow means your a NEO-NAZI group.
Another thing worth mentioning is that a lot of the separatists imported from Russia into Donbass were themselves members of Russian ultranationalist movements. E.g., some of them formed Rusich Company, which ironically uses / used the exact same Kolovrat symbol (BLACK SUN ) as Azov. Or the Slavic Unification and Revival Battalion who are/were also Rodnovers. Or RNU Volunteer Units, which were put together by Russian National Unity, a neo-nazi (not just ultranationalist) organization from Russia
Some facts about Nazi in Ukrainian government:
In the 2014 presidential election, the leader of the Right Sector, Dmitry Yarosh, received 0.7%.
He was elected to the Verkhovna Rada, where he worked until 2019, when he was not re-elected.
Andriy Biletsky, commander of the Azov Battalion, was elected to the Verkhovna Rada in 2014.
In the elections to the Verkhovna Rada in 2019, nationalist parties and movements form a single bloc - Svoboda, the National Corps, the Right Sector and Dmitry Yarosh. Together they failed to overcome the 5% barrier of votes and now have only 1 representative in the Verkhovna Rada out of 450 seats.
If we consider this representative a 100% Nazi, then the weight of his vote in the Ukrainian government is approximately 0.22%.
How real does the justification for aggression against Ukraine under the pretext of denazification sound now?
ON A SIDE NOTE; Nationalists and neo-Nazis do not participate in the government of Ukraine. The President of Ukraine is a Jew! Neo-Nazis are a subculture that exists in many countries, it so happened that they are the most motivated and ideologically inclined to protect Ukraine, they are excellent soldiers! So why is it bad that they protect their country? They do not rule Ukraine, but give their lives for it. Personally, I do not see any problem in the existence of Azov... AND HERE IS A THOUGHT There's many more foreigners in this regiment than Ukrainians . Including jewish, Russians, Americans, etc etc and even muslim people. Unpopular opinion: if they had different emblem and flag, they would receive MUCH less attention.
To sum up
1) they're political party now has 0 seats
2) their importance has been steadily declining since 2014 as the Ukrainian army has improved greatly from bearly existing in 2014.
3) they represent about 0.25% of the forces currently defending Ukraine
4)The Azov are right wing nationalist. The leftist media of many nations just either on purpose or through ignorance group right wing, nationalist and Nazi as the same thing Russia does this sleight of hand trick of calling anything or anyone that is nationalist Ukrainian NAZI too demonize Ukriane for kremlins own geopolitical agenda .
In fact the Avoz is a slav nationalist organization. Which is opposite of Nazi belief which classifies Slavs as subhuman. A Nationalist Slav and Nazi are actually mortal enemies.

And what is the truth? let's look at some facts !
Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...

---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

It might be useful to recap some of the reason why Russia is now an outcast :
Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade; Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU;
Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries;
Provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace;
Russia's interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia;
Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers;
Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory;
Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region;
Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation";
Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict;
Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people;
Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006;
Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018;
among lots of other things to much to even list up ..
NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.
Summary: former states of the USSRs are now full independent states and their borders are defined and recognized by not just the international community , the UN and intr. org. treaties and agreements but when it comes to UKRAINE Russia itself RECOGNIZED Ukraines borders and territory in the 1991 ( Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords ) and in 1994 with the Budapest Memorandum and Russian back in 1991 recognized all the other internal borders of the USSR as international boards that now defines all the other different countries sovereign statehood . Those borders Russia recognized when it came to Ukraine clearly puts Crimea within Ukrainian territorial control . Period.

Claim: The cases of Kosovo and Crimea are identical
Fact: The Kosovo operation was conducted following exhaustive discussion involving the whole international community dealing with a long-running crisis that was recognized by the UN Security Council as a threat to international peace and security.
Following the operation, the international community engaged in nearly ten years of diplomacy, under UN authority, to find a political solution and to settle Kosovo's final status, as prescribed by UNSCR 1244.
In Crimea, there was no pre-existing crisis, no attempt to discuss the situation with the Ukrainian government, no involvement of the United Nations, and no attempt at a negotiated solution.
In Kosovo, international attempts to find a solution took over 3,000 days. In Crimea, Russia annexed part of Ukraine's territory in less than 30 days. It has sought to justify its illegal and illegitimate annexation, in part, by pointing to a "referendum" that was inconsistent with Ukrainian law, held under conditions of illegal armed occupation with no freedom of expression or media access for the opposition, and without any credible international monitoring.

@sociopathstudio Oooooo YESSSS THE GOOD OLD LANGUAGE BS ARGUMENT THAT KREMLIN LIKES TO USE ..
In Ukraine, they don’t have bilingualism — it’s diglossia,”.
(Diglossia is a term that describes when two or more languages are used under different conditions within a community, often by the same speakers.)
One language is termed “high,” and the second “low” referring to their status or prestige in society. in Kyiv, the Russian Sovieticus idea of Russian being the “high,” still shows among the older generation is still to some part considered to be prestigious but this is getting slowly rubbed out…
In Ukraine, Russian language and its status are both consequences of the genocide done to the people of Ukraine and an imperialistic of the Soviet Union in Ukraine . Due to its post-colonial status, the Ukrainian language was pushed to the margins of all areas of life.
In Tsarist Russia, the Ukrainian language suffered from numerous prohibitions. For instance, in 1863 Valuyev Circular, a decree suspending the publication of many religious and educational texts in Ukrainian, or as the Russians called it, Little Russian, denied its existence.
The younger Ukrainian generation is now taking back their culture and finding their way back to Ukraine's own roots and they are staring to be proud of their own true history (without Kremlins propaganda and myths ) and are now asserting their national identity and own language as it is their god-given the right to do so .
According to polls by the Razumkov Center, in 2017 some 68 percent of Ukrainians said Ukrainian was their native language. Only 14 percent consider Russian to be their native language, while 17 percent said they were native speakers of both Ukrainian and Russian.
Russian propaganda likes to misrepresent Ukraine as a country sharply divided geographically, ethnically and politically along linguistic lines for Kremlins agenda and propaganda needs: there are ethnic Russians in the east and south and in Ukraine’s Crimea who speak Russian, and ethnic Ukrainians in the west who speak Ukrainian, the story goes. But at same time Kremlin propaganda will pump out the Russian propaganda MYTH that Ukrainians and Russians are at the same time “one people,” (meaning Ukrainians are Russians as there is acceding to the Kremlin no such thing as Ukrainians ) the Kremlin’s incoherent and false narrative continues. It is a narrative that is sometimes picked up and lazily repeated by Western media.
The real situation is much more complicated than the Kremlin’s propaganda, of course. Many people in the east speak Ukrainian as their native language (mainly in rural areas), and many people in the west speak Russian as their native language (mainly in urban areas).
Some speak a blend of the two languages, called “surzhyk” combining elements of the vocabulary and grammar of the two languages in a variety of mixes, depending on the locality.
Surzhyk is most prevalent in east-central Ukraine but can be heard in all parts of the country, especially in areas adjacent to big Russian-speaking cities.
This complex linguistic landscape has been shaped, mainly, by centuries of Russian imperialism — first under the Russian Tsardom and Empire, and later under the Russian dominated Soviet Union.
The Russian government has in the history and are still today underhandedly and covertly promoting the spread of the Russian language and Russian dominance over Ukraine.
Russia even promotes this idea of a justifiable and rightful dominance over Ukraine not just to its own Russians and the world in general but among the native Ukrainian population as well...
They do this by actively refusing to acknowledge the historical facts and the existence of the Ukrainian language and take every opportunity to belittle Ukrainian history by calling it a myth; this way Moscow is indirectly saying that Ukrainian history never existed and Ukrainian people are just nothing more than confused little Russians..
If we look back in time this is nothing new, the Russian Minister of Internal Affairs Pyotr Valuev in 1863 issued a secret decree that banned the publication of religious texts and educational texts written in the Ukrainian language Emperor Alexander II expanded this ban by issuing the Ems Ukaz in 1876 (which lapsed in 1905). The Ukaz banned all Ukrainian language books and song lyrics, as well as the importation of such works. Furthermore, Ukrainian-language public performances, plays, and lectures were forbidden
During the Soviet times, the attitude to Ukrainian language and culture went through periods of suppression (during the period of Stalinism) While officially there was no state language in the Soviet Union until 1989, Russian in practice had an implicitly privileged position as the only language widely spoken across the country From around the 1960s nearly all dissertations were required to be written in Russian That caused most scientific works to be written exclusively in Russian. Studying Russian in all schools was not optional, but the requirement.
SO DO NOT COME SCREENING about Russian language rights in UKRAINE Mr Putin after Russia has forcefully been running a linguistic genocide on the Ukrainian language for years.
Language is the soul of a nation and this is why Russians are pushing Russian in Ukraine to destroy the soul of the Ukrainian nation ... The Russian language is a sign of a "low-born" person a sovieticus dimwit that directly or indirectly is by using Russian in Ukraine supporting the linguistic genocide The Kremlin has been running a linguistic genocide on the Ukrainian language for years.. Russian should not be taught in Ukrainian kindergartens and schools "not to spoil child's speech." and the future sole of the Ukrainian nation and that is what Russian is really trying to do by attacking the Ukrainian language ..
"Russian" really should be called 'Muscoviyan " was created in 17 century, and many Russians 'Muscovians "speakers don't understand this fact ! Under Peter the Greats Russia , (let's call it what it really is Muscovy ) and during the the reign of Peter the Great lots of words were borrowed not only from German, but also from Dutch, heavily.
So, 11 century Ukrainian (found as a graffiti on Sophia of Kyiv) example:
Maty ne khotjachy ditychja bizhja gеt
In modern Ukrainian, it is
Maty ne khotjachy dytyny bizhytj hеtj (pronounced the same as written)
In modern Russian, it is
Matj nje khotja (no "chy") rjebjonka bjezhyt prochj (written)
Matj nji khatja (no "chy") rjibjonka bjizhyt prochj (pronounced)

Arab Historian Admits there are No Palestinian People ..
When the Ottoman rule ended, there was no Palestinian national identity or political borders. It was all made up later. Arabs themselves say so, but the west isn’t listening..
One of the biggest, most stubborn and costliest untruths of our time is the notion that the jihad waged by Arabs in the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Gaza against Jews in Israel is a national struggle of an indigenous people for independence.
No matter the facts, the lie persists to the tune of billions of dollars in international aid and political prestige, which makes it increasingly difficult for anyone involved to admit that the whole thing is nothing more than a propaganda stunt.
Unlike the fairy tale of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’, everyone pretends to be blind and deaf when it is pointed out that the emperor is naked. In fact, if the emperor himself were to stand up and yell, ‘I am naked folks, go home!’ the crowd would go on complimenting his non-existent garments.
Last week the naked emperor did just that:
“Before the Balfour Promise, when the Ottoman rule [1517-1917] ended, Palestine’s political borders as we know them today did not exist, and there was nothing called a Palestinian people with a political identity as we know today”, historian Abd Al-Ghani admitted on official PA TV on November 1.
“Since Palestine’s lines of administrative division stretched from east to west and included Jordan and southern Lebanon, and like all peoples of the region [the Palestinians] were liberated from the Turkish rule and immediately moved to colonial rule, without forming a Palestinian people’s political identity.”
In 1917, says this Arab historian on official PA TV, there was no such thing as a Palestinian people. This statement amounts to saying that the whole narrative of an ‘indigenous Palestinian people’ was made up at a later point in time.
As Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad speaking on Al-Hekma TV said in March 2012: “Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians…”
There is a reason, why the “Palestinian National Museum” is empty of historical artifacts.
The Arab historian’s admission corroborates the observations of 19th-century travelers to the region, who notably had no specific political agenda when they visited, unlike so many visitors to Israel today:
”Outside the gates of Jerusalem, we saw indeed no living object, heard no living sound”, wrote French poet Alphonse de Lamartine about his visit in 1835.
”The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is that of a body of population.” wrote British Consul James Finn in his 1857 description of the Holy Land.
”Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that withered its fields and fettered its energies. …Palestine is desolate and unlovely….It is a hopeless dreary, heartbroken land.” wrote American author Mark Twain in his description of his visit in 1867.
Nevertheless, the Arab propaganda machine gets away with publishing fantastic falsehoods, such as this one on the Palestinian Authority’s tourism website: “With a history that envelops more than one million years, Palestine has played an important role in human civilization. The crucible of prehistoric cultures, it is where settled society, the alphabet, religion, and literature developed and would become a meeting place for diverse cultures and ideas that shaped the world we know today”.
The international community not only approves of these falsehoods, it happily pays for them.
Historian Abd Al-Ghani’s declaration on PA TV was a historic, highly newsworthy admission that ought to have made the headlines everywhere, considering the importance the issue is given by political leaders, diplomats, the media and other establishment figures all over the world.
After all, if the Arabs themselves admit that the ‘Palestinian people’ is an invented entity, should not the consequence be that the countless UN projects, billions of dollars in international aid, and the endless campaigns against Israel cease and be used for more noble purposes?
The answer is yes, but no one is paying attention.

US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , becouse Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!

6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!
And here we can clearly see what such guarantees with the west is worth, it has been 8 years now since Russia invaded Ukraine in the east of the country and annexed parts of Ukraine in Crimea AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED so now Russia is going all inn and taking everything THE CAN!!
That is the result of worthless grantees !!
And here's something the WEST is clearly overlooking ; Taiwan , Israel and everyone else is also asking the question; CAN I TRUST THE WEST TO HOLD TO THEIR WORD AND STAND BY THE GUARANTEES THEY GIVE ! and not just Taiwan and Israel, is right now asking themselves those questions, but even small eastern European NATO member states that border Russia, will be asking themselves those questions as well !! IT'S ABOUT TRUST YOU LOSE TRUST YOU LOSE EVERYTHING!!
And her is the real kicker ; Also Iran, North Korea and China will be seeing what is going on and soon they will be thinking the west is weak; And the will be thinking and saying things like, just look what the west did when Russia was calling out their bluff about red lines in Ukraine ... The time is now, we have our chance to stick it to them !!!!
And then we will see China take Taiwan (so no more silicon-chips for you ) and then we will see Iran take Israel (middle east oil all gone and the middles east up in fire ) And when North Korea goes into South no more south Korea as north will take it over as well !!
SO YOUR OPTIONS ARE ,TO TAKE A STAND NOW OR LATER !!

@fortificationenjoyer1919 The fascist ideology was crushed by the allied forces on the battlefield after D-day seven decades ago.
Remaining fascist regimes in Greece and on the Iberian peninsula (Spain and Portugal) collapsed in the 1970s. thanks to NATO and the USA starting with the fall of the Berlin Wall, a variety of fascism known as Soviet communism or Stalinism crumbled in Eastern Europe and the USSR also thanks to NATO and the USA.
And yet, in 2014, we have woken up to the reality of resurgent fascism. Not since the 1930s has it been so triumphant, capturing the imagination of people in industrial democracies and winning at the ballot box in Crimea.
What is fascism?
Fascist regimes and movements over the past century shared all or most of the basic ideological principles: Collective identity based on race, nationality, religion or class, often presented as a return to some harmonious age of the past; disdain for democracy and other forms of consensus and compromise between divergent interests of society.
Cult of a strong leader who expresses “our” collective will and provides quick, simple solutions by cutting through all the liberal-democratic bull.
That Russia should succumb to the lure of fascism comes as no surprise.
The collapse of the Soviet Union and the “lawless 1990s” so closely paralleled the end of World War I and the Weimar Republic in Germany that it was almost fated to follow in the German footsteps to the end - which it is now doing with the annexation of Crimea and attempted Anschluss with Eastern Ukraine under the same banner of uniting a divided nation
Like Hitler and Mussolini before him, Putin loathes democracy, its institutions and due process that limit the flight of his fancy. He talks of a rigged world-system, but what he actually means is that the system that lacks a strong leader who could step in and ensure a “genuinely Russian” outcome.
What else but a “rigged system” can explain the election of EU leders, for whom Putin and his followers have nothing but condescending disdain reserved for anything not Russian in other words what Putin's friends and Putin think are lower races!
It is a no small wonder that Putin has expressed admiration for people like Saddam Hussein, Stalin, Lenin, Assad, Castro, Venezuela dictatorships like Hugo Chávez & Nicolás Maduro and the North Korean Kims.
It is no surprise Putin buddies up to a dictator and criminal Rogue state like Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Sudan. Libya, Cuba and former Rogue states like when Slobodan Milošević ruled terror state Serbia ect ect ( Rogue state This means being seen to meet certain criteria, such as being ruled by authoritarian or totalitarian governments that severely restrict human rights, sponsoring terrorism)
I THINK ONE CAN LOOK at Russia and Russians this way....
Russism [Rus: Рашизм] – the variety of totalitarian, fascist ideology, the symbiosis of principal doctrines of Nazism and Stalinism.
The Russian Orthodox Church theological theory on Russians being the Chosen People serves as one of the bases of Russism.
Russism has turned into ideology and practice of Russian authorities is based on the idea of superiority of “Russian Compatriots” and neocolonialism of soviet-imperial type as well as the application of Russian Orthodoxy as a moral doctrine.
Russism uses an aggressive military and economic doctrine, an idea of preventive usage of nuclear weapons and many other instruments to archive an act of revenge in Cold War. Emphasis is also made on geo-economical instruments – primarily energy resources.
Russism widely uses the propaganda myths of the `Great Patriotic War` [Rus: `Великая Отечественная Война`] as a moral right to further violence in XXI century and denies responsibility for crimes against humanity during imperial and USSR times.
Russism represents the mixture of imperialism, great power chauvinism, nostalgia for Soviet past and religious traditionalism.
Russism has much in common with fascist Nazism in terms of principles while speeches and politics of Putin are much similar to Hitler’s ideas.
Russism ideology is based on illusions grounding acceptability of arbitrariness for the sake of fallaciously perceived interests of Russian society.
Russism violates principles of international law and imposes on the world its own version of historical truth guided by perspectives and interests of Russia.
The term has been used since 1990s, but it gained widespread in 2008, after the Russian aggression on Georgia.

What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is almost 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukraine Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries were nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..
Also these people who advocate this view that Ukraine shroud just give up land and appeasement to Russians wants wishes are also being very ignorant to the fact that there were already treaties in place between Russia and Ukraine where Russia respecting the integrity of Ukraine's borders plus other treaties relating to the seas around Ukraine.
Putin has already broken those treaties.
Why would Ukraine believe Putin would stick to a new treaty when he's just broken half a dozen of the previous Russia Ukraine treaties and agreements.
Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.

@sociopathstudio MY ANSWER ONCE MORE IS !!
MY ANSWER : Claim: NATO enlargement threatens Russia
Fact: Every country that joins NATO undertakes to uphold its principles and policies. This includes the commitment that "the Alliance does not seek confrontation and poses no threat to Russia," as reaffirmed at the Warsaw Summit. NATO enlargement is not directed against Russia.
Every sovereign nation has the right to choose its own security arrangements. This is a fundamental principle of European security, one that Russia has also subscribed to and should respect. NATO's Open Door policy has been a historic success. Together with EU enlargement, it has spread stability and prosperity in Europe since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Claim: Russia has the right to demand a "100% guarantee" that Ukraine will not join NATO
Fact: According to Article I of the Helsinki Final Act which established the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in 1975, every country has the right "to belong or not to belong to international organizations, to be or not to be a party to bilateral or multilateral treaties including the right to be or not to be a party to treaties of alliance." All the OSCE member states, including Russia, have sworn to uphold those principles.
In line with those principles, Ukraine has the right to choose for itself whether it joins any treaty of alliance, including NATO's founding treaty.
Moreover, when Russia signed the Founding Act, it pledged to uphold "respect for sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all states and their inherent right to choose the means to ensure their own security". Thus Ukraine has the right to choose its own alliances, and Russia has, by its own repeated agreement, no right to dictate that choice.

It is not Putin who made modern Russia or Russians, it is Russia and Russians who made Putin !!!.
The Russian people endorsement of the evil of Putin's regime is without parallel any other place on earth 89% support him in his evil and have voted for him time after time after time….
After all the Russians do know the truth about Putin by now, they know who he is, what he does , what he will do, and what he has done, it should come as no surprise to any Russian, what they are voting for after soon 20 years with Putin in power THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT HIM !!
Even when Putin himself was NOT able to run for President back in 2008, and the Russians, had a chance to vote for another direction, what did they do?? They voted in Putin's boy Dmitry Medvedev for president, the Russians had the changes to vote for Boris Nemtsov and therefor freedom, rule of law and democracy but NO THEY VOTE for Putins boy Dmitry Medvedev for president, because that was the next best thing to voting for Putin !!!
So the Russians NO longer have an excuse, they are responsible for the actions that the evil regime they support and they have voted for time after time after time….
So WHAT THE REGIME dose in their name and the RuSSians must themselves take responsibility for it... NOT able to run for President back in 2008, and the Russians, had a chance to vote for another direction, what did they do?? They voted in Putin's boy Dmitry Medvedev for president, the Russians had the changes to vote for Boris Nemtsov and therefor freedom, rule of law and democracy but NO THEY VOTE for Putins boy Dmitry Medvedev for president, because that was the next best thing to voting for Putin !!!

---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .

Let's see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
LIKE i have said before ... Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Trump says just give up on wanting your cities, your land back your people , back ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass anyway that Russia wants so just give it up and we all can have some peace ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..
FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5:
1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression.
2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility.
3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and most of England

Why the should Ukraine give up all that land for what to be invaded only some years later !!

Why would Ukraine believe Putin would stick to a new treaty when he's just broken half a dozen of the previous Russia Ukraine treaties and agreements.
Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.
On a side note ; Moscow is ONLY 480 km to Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg and via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BS there is 800 km from Kyiv to Moscow ..
On another side note ; Election under a gun with tanks and thugs standing over the voting boxes is not an election it can not be a free and legal election...Referendums vía gun point isn't a referendum, it's racketeering. Something that Russia knows oh so very well how to do. YOU CAN VOTE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN It will never be legal as long as Russian army is there and as lone as it is an illegal gov. put there by an occupying force
It might be useful to recap some of the reason why Russia is now an outcast :
Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade; Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU;
Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries;
Provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace;
Russia's interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia;
Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers;
Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory;
Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region;
Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation";
Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict;
Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people;
Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006;
Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018;
among lots of other things to much to even list up ..
NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.

Claim: NATO has bases all around the world
Fact: NATO's military infrastructure outside the territory of Allies is limited to those areas in which the Alliance is conducting operations. Thus the Alliance has military facilities in Afghanistan for the support of the Resolute Support mission, and in Kosovo for the KFOR mission.
NATO has civilian liaison offices in partner countries such as Georgia, Ukraine and Russia. These cannot be considered as "military bases".
Individual Allies have overseas bases on the basis of bilateral agreements and the principle of host-nation consent, in contrast with Russian bases on the territory of Moldova (Transnistria), Ukraine (the Autonomous Republic of Crimea) and Georgia (the regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia).
Claim: NATO is trying to encircle Russia
Fact: This claim ignores the facts of geography. Russia's land border https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borders_of_Russia is just over 20,000 kilometres long. Of that, 1,215 kilometres, or less than one-sixteenth, face current NATO members.
Russia shares land borders with 14 countries (Norway, Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, Georgia, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, China, North Korea). Only five of them are NATO members.
Outside NATO territory, the Alliance only has a military presence in two places: Kosovo and Afghanistan. Both operations are carried out with a United Nations mandate, and therefore carry the approval of Russia, along with all other Security Council members.
In contrast, Russia has military bases and soldiers in three countries – Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine – without the consent of their governments. In fact, we’ve seen new permanent deployments all along Russia’s western border with NATO Allies, from the Barents to the Baltic Sea, and from the Black Sea to the Mediterranean.

The Black Sea countries are many!! And Then Black Sea does not belong to Russia that’s a myth !!
Bulgaria, (NATO )
Romania (NATO)
Turkey (NATO)
Ukraine (NATO partner )
Georgia (NATO partner)
So in-fact ANY NATO country members navy and or air force is within their full right to sail and be within the Black Sea, as non of the Black Sea Nations (That have a real and legal int. recognized cost-line not like Russia ) have any problem with NATO ships being in their waters and even the non NATO members like Ukraine and Georgia, even more so then the NATO nations, want and are begging for more NATO ships to come and be in the BLACK SEA !
(NATO nations of the black sea are in-fact real black sea nations not like Russia stealing land then claiming to be the owner of that land and sea )
Coastline length to the black see by country/ Country Coastline length (km)
Turkey 1,329km (NATO)
Ukraine 2,782km (NATO partner )
Bulgaria 354km (NATO)
Georgia 310km (NATO partner )
Romania 225km (NATO)
AND ON A SIDE NOTE : NATO is already 500 km from Moscow via Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BS there is 800 km from Kyiv to Moscow ..
And her is a thought .. if every neighbor you have is running to begging NATO to let them join NATO is it becouse you are such a nice and good neighbor?
Or is it because you act like a bully and are aggressive and invade your neighbor lands sending in troops and tanks
Hungary 1956,
Czechoslovakia 1968,
Poland 1980
Moldova 1990-91,
Georgia 2008,
Ukraine 2014 ++
And now of Ukraine 2022+++
Russia eat eat eats and then blames its victims for eating them !!! ...
Maybe if you act in a more nicer way, then your neighbors will liked you more and maybe your neighbors in your neighborhood will want to be around you as well ..

Also these people who advocate this view that Ukraine shroud just give up land and appeasement to Russians wants wishes are also being very ignorant to the fact that there were already treaties in place between Russia and Ukraine where Russia respecting the integrity of Ukraine's borders plus other treaties relating to the seas around Ukraine.
Putin has already broken those treaties.
Why would Ukraine believe Putin would stick to a new treaty when he's just broken half a dozen of the previous Russia Ukraine treaties and agreements.
Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.

NOT a Palestinian State !
19 ACTUALLY in this piece of land all through history there has BEEN everything EXCEPT A PALESTINIAN STATE
Why is that you ask ??
Well because there has never been a Palestinian ppl or an idea of Palestinian state, before Arafat proclaimed this mythical state and ppl . and himself as the leader; he did this On 31 December, 1964. Arafat was declared by Nasser to be the "leader of the Palestinian People " and the PLO chairmen to fight to bring a new state of Palestine
Read about Palestine National Charter of 1964
The name "Palestine" was given to that territory by the Romans the territory of Palestine when the Romans took over before the land of the Jews back then it was called Judah and Israel and the Romans named it Palestine to remove the name Judah = jews to wipe out the jewish culture and claims ... and we the west inherited our culture history from the greeks and the romans and therefore the maps that the British made named this area Palestine when they took a mandate over the land (thats way they wrote "The mandate of Palestine" on maps ) and part of that "mandate "was in fact Transjordan it was reference to an area of land NOT a state !! The land area that was called "The British mandate of Palestine" (Palestine for short ) included parts of lands area of what we today call , Jordan , Egypt , Lebanon , Syria and Israel with the west bank (Transjordan) and Gaza !!
Also its called Jerusalem = city of the jews !! (je rus alem )
Israel and Judah has just been from time to time colonized and occupied from time to time in its history that's all and the name of the land has changed many times ; but the state of Israel has come back again and again between occupation every time in history its got back its freedom and never once have the land been totally free form Jewish ppl lived in that land and never once have the Jewish ppl. renounced their right of ownership not for 4000 years not ones !!
Show me a Palestinian ppl in history before 1964 show me a list of Palestinian Kings show me some any Palestinian painting inventions show me a Palestinian archaeological dig out show me a Palestinian language , Palestinian temple she me some ancient Palestinian culture, cities , writings , poems , songs , instruments anything that a culture of ppl will have left after themself in history etc etc etc THERE IS NONE !!
ON A SIDE NOTE : The earliest mention of Israel is inscribed on the Merneptah Stele around 1213–1203 BCE, religious literature tells the story of Israelites going back at least as far as c. 1500 BCE.

Woman: "Don't Protect me I am an independent female and strong woman !”
Man: "Ok"
Woman getting harassed and NEED help *
Woman: "Why didn't you protect and help me?"
Everyone is a feminist and a leftist ideologist until the Titanic starts sinking and then at that moment; you will hear the same feminist and a leftists ideologist that women and children should get place in the lifeboat first. And you end up with a guitar and accordion on the deck playing music on your way soon to be fish food as they board the last lifeboat..
You will never see or hear a feminist and/or a leftists ideologist, say we need equally, inclusiveness and there is no such thing as the weaker sex or gender identity roles between a man and a woman , or hear a feminist say everyone is equal, when it comes to giving out the lifeboats seats when the ship is sinking in the dark night in the ice cold waters of the Atlantic ocean no no no then they are all for gender roles and your roll my friend is soon to be fish food ; will she gets the lifeboat on her way to find new understanding "equal man" to her queen boss babe feminist persona to pay her bills let her be "equal " (until of course the next Titanic starts sinking then she will demand the lifeboat is only for women ) ..
Why IS IT LIKE THIS you ask ..... Well because the feminists LIKE TO PLAY THE SNEAKY GAME , because they are sly, disingenuous, shifty and self-serving hypocrites, that will use and take anything, everything they can and twist any argument to promote and benefit what they will call "equality and diversity" , but really it is never about real equality and diversity at all ; its about and has always been about promoting (in any situation then can ) better advantages, benefits , resources and roles, potions for themselves at the expense of men ; In other words they in the most disingenuous way make sure to receive the benefits and privileges, of any life situation/ ´social, scholarly and /or professional situation, without been expected to be holden to ( by others ) to the responsibility and standards of those benefits and privileges they claim and demand and believe to be inherently deserving and entitled to receive for free just because they are a female !!

Understand this simple fact ..
TRUMP dose not support Russia ;
TRUMP dose not support Ukraine ;
TRUMP dose not support NATO ;
TRUMP dose not support Europe ;
TRUMP dose not support UK;
TRUMP dose not support AMERICA ;
TRUMP ONLY SUPPORTS TRUMP !!!!
Trump will act in what he sees as his best interest regardless of what that is ; So if he directly benefits or indirectly benefits siding with anyone or anything he WILL DO THAT !!
All you need do, if you want Trumps backing is simple just sweeten the honey pot , more than the other guy , show Trump he has more to directly and indirectly to gain standing with you contra the other guy !!
(Trump is deal oriented not ideology orientated ; remember Trump does not think in abstract teams in the traditional sense he is often inconsistent in the way he applies his values, his political action and ideas , etc etc. to his political stands / beliefs (take a look at his actions not his words ) he can change direction within a flash if he believes its more beneficial to him ) Concepts like fairness, justice, honor, and integrity quite literally do not register. You can see this in every interview or press encounter. He never states an abstract thought or idea.
"Instead he falls back on simple adjectives: disgraceful, horrible, low-intelligence, perfect, innocent, nasty, stupid, fake, etc. He's driven by negative emotion, often paranoid and often insulting, vulgar, vitriolic." (he will one day talk extremely ill of someone if he believes it benefits him the next day he will make them into The Vice President if he thinks it benefits Trump; JD Vance was one point knocking heads with Trump now he is VP, As the poles showed JD was very popular within the Republican base .
Trump will say someone is the worst enemy of the US. then the next day he will flip flop and shake their hand just look at Kim Jong Un of North Korea ; one day he was the rocket man that Trump was going to nuke then the next day he was his best friend (when trump though making a deal will give trump a noble pace prize) ; now Kim is back in the Trump bad box )
TRUMP IS FOR TRUMP ITS THAT SIMPLE UNDERSTAND THIS AND ITS GAME SETT AND MATCH WHEN DEALING WITH HIM !!

@yellowtunes2756 Claim: NATO enlargement threatens Russia
Fact: Every country that joins NATO undertakes to uphold its principles and policies. This includes the commitment that "the Alliance does not seek confrontation and poses no threat to Russia," as reaffirmed at the Warsaw Summit. NATO enlargement is not directed against Russia.
Every sovereign nation has the right to choose its own security arrangements. This is a fundamental principle of European security, one that Russia has also subscribed to and should respect. NATO's Open Door policy has been a historic success. Together with EU enlargement, it has spread stability and prosperity in Europe since the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Claim: Russia has the right to demand a "100% guarantee" that Ukraine will not join NATO
Fact: According to Article I of the Helsinki Final Act which established the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in 1975, every country has the right "to belong or not to belong to international organizations, to be or not to be a party to bilateral or multilateral treaties including the right to be or not to be a party to treaties of alliance." All the OSCE member states, including Russia, have sworn to uphold those principles.
In line with those principles, Ukraine has the right to choose for itself whether it joins any treaty of alliance, including NATO's founding treaty.
Moreover, when Russia signed the Founding Act, it pledged to uphold "respect for sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all states and their inherent right to choose the means to ensure their own security". Thus Ukraine has the right to choose its own alliances, and Russia has, by its own repeated agreement, no right to dictate that choice.
Claim: NATO provoked the "Maidan" protests in Ukraine
Fact: The demonstrations which began in Kiev in November 2013 were born out of Ukrainians' desire for a closer relationship with the European Union, and their frustration when former President Yanukovych halted progress toward that goal as a result of Russian pressure.
The protesters' demands included constitutional reform, a stronger role for the parliament, the formation of a government of national unity, an end to the pervasive and endemic corruption, early presidential elections and an end to violence. There was no mention of NATO.
Ukraine began discussing the idea of abandoning its non-bloc status in September 2014, six months after the illegal and illegitimate Russian "annexation" of Crimea and the start of Russia's aggressive actions in Eastern Ukraine. The final decision by Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada to abandon the non bloc status was taken in December 2014, over a year after the pro-EU demonstrations began.

To put things in perspective, Ukraine had 176 ICBMs and over 2000 tactical nukes along with bombers able to carry them. They gave it all up in exchange for security guarantees from USA, UK and Russia ( Budapest Memorandum 1994 ). One would say that assisting Ukraine now when its being invaded should be obvious thing to do when you signed up on their security and they gave up literally thousands nukes...
US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , becouse Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!

It might be useful to recap some of the reason why Russia is now an outcast :
Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade; Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU;
Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries;
Provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace;
Russia's interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia;
Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers;
Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory;
Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region;
Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation";
Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict;
Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people;
Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006;
Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018;
among lots of other things to much to even list up ..
NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.
Summary: former states of the USSRs are now full independent states and their borders are defined and recognized by not just the international community , the UN and intr. org. treaties and agreements but when it comes to UKRAINE Russia itself RECOGNIZED Ukraines borders and territory in the 1991 ( Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords ) and in 1994 with the Budapest Memorandum and Russian back in 1991 recognized all the other internal borders of the USSR as international boards that now defines all the other different countries sovereign statehood . Those borders Russia recognized when it came to Ukraine clearly puts Crimea within Ukrainian territorial control . Period.

What rally pisses me off is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land its just a small part of Ukriane anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...
WE ARE taking about a land mass the size of fucking Belgium, Holland, Austria and Greece all put together
Why the fuck should Ukraine give up all that land for what to be invaded only some years later !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country".
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda and so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukriane Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries where nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..
On a side note ; Moscow is ONLY 480 km to Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg and via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BS there is 800 km from Kyiv to Moscow ..

Russians need to study history and stop believe the Kremlins falsification of Ukrainian and Russian history and look at the timeline and facts..
UKRAINIAN NATION has been around since 898. In the 11th century, Kievan Rus' aka Ukraine was, geographically, the largest state in Europe Also Ukrainian Cossack had its own Rada (parliament/government) and was self-governing until 1783 when Catharine sent her lover Potemkin to annex Cossack Ukrainian lands..
First of all, Russia as a state never showed its ugly head to the world before 1721 when Peter proclaimed a new nation and a new capital for the new nation and he called it Russia...
Peter did this after the Treaty of Frederiksborg (1720), and the Russo-Swedish Treaty of Nystad (1721) and after the battle of Poltava...
On July 27 every year, Kyiv celebrates the anniversary of when Kyivan Rus was baptized by Prince Volodymyr the Great in 988.
In reaction, Vladimir Legoyda, head of the information department of the Russian Orthodox Church, criticized Ukraine’s attempts to call Prince Volodymyr the Great the “baptizer of Ukraine and a local leader.”
The medieval Principality of Moscow wouldn’t be founded until nearly 300 later. So if Kyiv was baptizes by Prince Volodymyr the Great in 988 and The medieval Principality of Moscow did not show its ugly head before 300 years later how can Moscow and Russia clam Ukraine and Kiev never existed hahahaha
Before Peter Moscow and Novgorod and another city's was principality's or city-states if you like and the most known was the Grand Duchy of Moscow From 1283–1547 Grand Principality of Moscow members cities of the Grand Principality was the city's of Novgorod, Moscow, rayzan, suzdal, vologoda.
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duchy_of_Moscow1547–1721 Tsardom of Muscovy
In 1648 under the Tsardom of Muscovy the Ukrainian leader, Bohdan Khmelnytsky, offered to ally Ukraine with the Russian tsar, Aleksey I. Aleksey's acceptance of this offer, which was ratified in the Treaty of Pereyaslav in 1654 This was not Ukraine or Bohdan Khmelnytsky, offering it them self to Russia this was an agreement that both independent nations will go together and fight the Polish that was at the time invading Ukraine and Russia...and nothing more than that. In this agreement, the Cossacks also accepted to look upon the tsar as the protecting monarch and did pay some small money for the help and alliance in fighting the Polish.
But this was not giving up Ukrainian lands to the tsar nor did they give up their own Cossacks Rada (parliament) or the right to self-governance.. It was more a deal like Canada, Australia, Scotland, New Zealand ect ect ect has today with England they look up on English monarch as their monarch But still are an independent nation and lands with self-governance and their own parliaments and leaders of state..
Russian Empire 1721–1917 (when Peter proclaimed a new nation called Russia WHY proclaimed a new nation if this so-called nation already existed ??)
The Russian Empire (Pre-reform Russian orthography: Россійская Имперія, Modern Russian: Российская империя, translit: Rossiyskaya Imperiya) was a state that existed from 1721 until overthrown by the short-lived liberal February Revolution in 1917.
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Empire
Also, Ukrainian Cossack had its own Rada (parliament/government) and was more or less self-governing until 1783 when Catharine sent her lover Potemkin to annex Cossack Ukrainian lands..
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_the_Great#Reign_.281762.E2.80.931796.29
The lands was after that under brutal occupation by Moskali scum until 1917 Bolshevik revolution until 1991
So based on these facts the Russia state has only had annexed control in Ukraine for 134 years
That is far less then what all Russians think In the 11th century, Kievan Rus' aka Ukraine was, geographically, the largest state in Europe, becoming known in the rest of Europe as Ruthenia (the Latin name for Rus'), especially for western principalities of The name "Ukraine", meaning "in-land" or "native-land" usually interpreted as "border-land", first appears in historical documents of 12th century and then on historical maps of the 16th century period. Greater Rus'" was used to apply to all the lands ruled by Kyiv, including those that were not just Slavic, but also Uralic in the north-east portions of the state.
So Ukraine and Kyiv is from the 11th century and was self governing until 1783 when Catharine sent her lover Potemkin to annex Cossack Ukrainian lands and it remand occupied until 1917 when some of the lands (not all ) became free until 1921 and was once more become forcefully under brutal occupation by the Bolshevik Soviets aka Moscow scum ..
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Ukraine#Kievan_Rus.27
Ukraine has existed more or less as far back as Kyiv has been a city..
Ukraine, however, has from time to time, also maintained a semi-independent republic in Zaporozhia and a colony on the Russian frontier in Sloboda Ukraine.
The Battle of Konotop in 1648 took place during the period of Ukrainian history that is generally referred to as the Ruin.
This was the time after the death of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky, during which many power struggles within the Cossack elite took place.
Arguably, these power struggles were instigated by The Grand Duchy of Moscow aka Tsardom of Moscow in an effort to undermine the authority of the Cossacks and self-governed of the Ukrainian nation and the Ukrainian Cossack state.
The 1648 Ukrainian Cossack (Kozak) rebellion or Khmelnytsky Uprising, which started an era known as the Ruin The Cossack state, the Cossack Hetmanate, usually viewed as modern Ukraine and this was way back in 1648 So how can you come up with Ukraine as a state first existed in 1918,__????
Together with a number of other battles between East Slavs, such as Battle of Orsha, the Konotop battle was with a few exceptions an abandoned topic in Russian Imperial and in Soviet historiography.
This attitude towards this event is explained by the fact that it dispelled some Russian propaganda positions about the unity of East Slavs, in particular, the ones about "eternal friendship of Russian and Ukrainian peoples" and about "natural desire of Ukrainians for union with Russia". But this is nothing more than Moscow spin doctors propaganda and historical fact twisted to the point of falsification of historical facts and truth,,
For all the skill and the bravery of the Cossacks — especially those defending Konotop — it still remains a bitter victory.
A victory that did not have any significant impact on the course of Ukrainian history, where the fratricidal war of the Ruin and personal ambitions of treacherous hetmans prevailed. As such, the Konotop battle remains a classic example of the battle and war Russia lost when trying too assert its dominance over Ukraine,, But in the end, Ukrainians lost the war and become under Moscow hegemony control and brutal domination. And lets not forget the brutal Russification process that Russia has done and is still trying to do, and even today Ukraine is still fighting the Moscow attempts to subdue Ukraine and it lands and people..
But the result is still that Ukraine fights the Russian hoards and its attempts of hegemony control of Ukraine.
Ukraine has never really been Russian.
Any more than Norway is Swedish or Danish just because Norway was forcefully taken into a union with Sweden and Denmark and for some time under brutal Swedish and Danish occupation and rule does not make Norway into Swedish or Danish lands ...
Norway like Ukraine was just a politically and military occupied nation for some time in its history that's all..
Norway has been from time to time under Swedish and Danish occupation and even some Norwegian cities was built by Swedish and Danish occupier's But that doesn't mean that
Sweden or Denmark owns Norway or the Norwegians are Swedish or even Danish ANY MORE THEN Russian owns Ukraine or that Ukrainians are Russians ....!!!
More Russian lies about Ukrainians the Historian Andrey Zubov says Banderites are an example of the great lie of the Soviet system about Ukraine SEE LINK UNDER

NO SUCH THING AS A PALESTINIAN IT WAS MADE UP BY ARAFAT JUST LIKE THE FAKE HISTORY OF WHAT ARAFAT CALLED THE COUNTY OF PALESTINE !!
Arab Historian Admits there are No Palestinian People ..
When the Ottoman rule ended, there was no Palestinian national identity or political borders. It was all made up later. Arabs themselves say so, but the west isn’t listening..
One of the biggest, most stubborn and costliest untruths of our time is the notion that the jihad waged by Arabs in the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Gaza against Jews in Israel is a national struggle of an indigenous people for independence.
No matter the facts, the lie persists to the tune of billions of dollars in international aid and political prestige, which makes it increasingly difficult for anyone involved to admit that the whole thing is nothing more than a propaganda stunt.
Unlike the fairy tale of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’, everyone pretends to be blind and deaf when it is pointed out that the emperor is naked. In fact, if the emperor himself were to stand up and yell, ‘I am naked folks, go home!’ the crowd would go on complimenting his non-existent garments.
Last week the naked emperor did just that:
“Before the Balfour Promise, when the Ottoman rule [1517-1917] ended, Palestine’s political borders as we know them today did not exist, and there was nothing called a Palestinian people with a political identity as we know today”, historian Abd Al-Ghani admitted on official PA TV on November 1.
“Since Palestine’s lines of administrative division stretched from east to west and included Jordan and southern Lebanon, and like all peoples of the region [the Palestinians] were liberated from the Turkish rule and immediately moved to colonial rule, without forming a Palestinian people’s political identity.”
In 1917, says this Arab historian on official PA TV, there was no such thing as a Palestinian people. This statement amounts to saying that the whole narrative of an ‘indigenous Palestinian people’ was made up at a later point in time.
As Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad speaking on Al-Hekma TV said in March 2012: “Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians…”
There is a reason, why the “Palestinian National Museum” is empty of historical artifacts.
The Arab historian’s admission corroborates the observations of 19th-century travelers to the region, who notably had no specific political agenda when they visited, unlike so many visitors to Israel today:
”Outside the gates of Jerusalem, we saw indeed no living object, heard no living sound”, wrote French poet Alphonse de Lamartine about his visit in 1835.
”The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is that of a body of population.” wrote British Consul James Finn in his 1857 description of the Holy Land.
”Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that withered its fields and fettered its energies. …Palestine is desolate and unlovely….It is a hopeless dreary, heartbroken land.” wrote American author Mark Twain in his description of his visit in 1867.
Nevertheless, the Arab propaganda machine gets away with publishing fantastic falsehoods, such as this one on the Palestinian Authority’s tourism website: “With a history that envelops more than one million years, Palestine has played an important role in human civilization. The crucible of prehistoric cultures, it is where settled society, the alphabet, religion, and literature developed and would become a meeting place for diverse cultures and ideas that shaped the world we know today”.
The international community not only approves of these falsehoods, it happily pays for them.
Historian Abd Al-Ghani’s declaration on PA TV was a historic, highly newsworthy admission that ought to have made the headlines everywhere, considering the importance the issue is given by political leaders, diplomats, the media and other establishment figures all over the world.
After all, if the Arabs themselves admit that the ‘Palestinian people’ is an invented entity, should not the consequence be that the countless UN projects, billions of dollars in international aid, and the endless campaigns against Israel cease and be used for more noble purposes?
The answer is yes, but no one is paying attention.

Russian Colonialism and Imperialism from the end of the Russian Empire to 2022, including invasions, attacks, crushing of anti-colonial revolts, colonization campaigns, genocides, and military crimes.
Russian colonialism dominated much of the world in the 19th century. The legacies of Russian colonial domination can be most felt during the 20th century, mostly during the Soviet period in occupied Europe, the Caucasus (Chechnya, Ingushetia, Georgia, Armenia, etc.), Central Asia, and Afghanistan.
In 2022, the modern Russian government's practice of modern colonialism, which includes invasions, occupations, brutal crimes against indigenous peoples such as murders with knives, mass deportations, arrests and executions of indigenous leaders, installation of puppet authorities, and illegal land seizures, make reconciliation and healing with former Russian colonies difficult. Denial of colonial crimes of the past, particularly during WWII, were already major hurdles to reconciliation in the 21st century.
The legacies of devastating and genocidal crimes of the Russian Empire before 1916 and the 19th century cannot be ignored, but this graphic focuses on the past century's profound legacy on Russian oppression in 2022.
Certain nations suffered far worse under Russian oppression while others suffered on a much smaller scale from small Russian military operations.
Colonialism includes not just direct Russian rule, but domination through puppet dictatorships that brought widespread death, starvation, destruction, and terror over lands they ruled or made war in, with North Korea and the Korean War as an example. Imperialism, which is a much broader term, can include limited military operations that lead to gross human rights abuses against civilians, with operations in Sub-Saharan Africa as examples.

What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is almost 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukraine Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries were nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..
Also these people who advocate this view that Ukraine shroud just give up land and appeasement to Russians wants wishes are also being very ignorant to the fact that there were already treaties in place between Russia and Ukraine where Russia respecting the integrity of Ukraine's borders plus other treaties relating to the seas around Ukraine.
Putin has already broken those treaties.
Why would Ukraine believe Putin would stick to a new treaty when he's just broken half a dozen of the previous Russia Ukraine treaties and agreements.
Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.

We NEED to understand this :
RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA attacks its target by just being between the gray areas of what is the truth and lies that small crack between the two ; between the light and the dark; between the cracks of the open spaces: in other words they mislead by false appearances and illusions and those doubt and confusing is the order of the day !
And that's why it is so effective, as it is neither lies or truth, is not half truths or half lies; its all of the above and none of the above !!!
It is not made to make you believe in anything or disbelieve anything, it's made to make you doubt and distrust your own reality of what you have of experience about your own society what the world , society has objectivity shown you to be truth, you start to doubt your own society there is no objectivity grounded facts and truth ; everything is subjective and floating, nothing is clear-cut no universal truth.
Russian propaganda just sows enough doubt and confusion, that you just ignore your own thoughts of what you know is true and therefore rocks with your internal conviction and your physical sense of being ! It doesn't try to make you believe anything but to trust nothing and doubt everything around you .. !
In the shadow world of the Kremlin's FSB its called Active measures, and it's psychological subversion and confusion management at its highest level ; what some ppl. may call gaslighting but fare more sophisticated than so !
Its not intelligence collection the FSB and GRU is doing when they run such psychological propaganda operations, but subversion of the countries populace minds and their reality : "active measures " is made to weaken the targets moral , to drive wedges in the the targets community alliances of all sorts, sow discord among allies, to weaken the western systems in the eyes of its own populace.
What Russian propaganda tries to do is mentally turn YOU into one of those "prisoners in the cave" like in Plato's Allegory of the Cave from Plato's Republic (in the theory of forms ) , you see shadows and reflections of what they show you and a twisted from of reality is then reality a type of distorted the truth and facts ; the light and truth has become "shadows on a wall " where you are not sure anymore and started to think and doubt facts and truth believing that maybe up is down, white is black, left is right; truth is lies and fact is fiction !!
And those you will find yourself a solace in your own ignorances and doubt and in some cases you may even choose to be hostile to anyone that challenges whatever preconceptions and notions of doubt you have being gaslighted into thinking is the " truth ( "shadows on a wall " so to speak ) !!!
You have been victimized and programmed by Russian propaganda to believe or disbelieve whatever is the kremlin narrative, you have became a dubious fool that is " on the horns of a dilemma" and you end up in rejecting grounded norms and truth and just willing become accepting of what suites the kremlin narrative; you start repeating Kremlin talking points like a parrot and you are more or less incapable of critical independent sovereign thinking a cognitive dissonance prevails; you will struggle to gain the knowledge and enlightenment needed to analyze contradictory statements !
The target (civilized western world) " western societies populace and you are drained down into a muddy murky abyss of contradictory statements; in other words subversion of the target society (and YOU ) at this point is complete and your ability to illuminate your own thoughts and find truth is destroyed and the path for enlightenment critical thinking is therefore almost impossible..
THIS IS WHAT RUSSIANS FSB AND GRU CALL ACTIVE MEASURES !!
Like the Danish philosopher SØREN KIERKEGAARD once said ;
There are two ways to be fooled , one is to believe what ISN'T TRUE ; The other is to REFUSE to believe what is TRUE !!

It is not Putin who made modern Russia or Russians, it is Russia and Russians who made Putin !!!.
The Russian people endorsement of the evil of Putin's regime is without parallel any other place on earth 89% support him in his evil and have voted for him time after time after time….
After all the Russians do know the truth about Putin by now, they know who he is, what he does , what he will do, and what he has done, it should come as no surprise to any Russian, what they are voting for after soon 20 years with Putin in power THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT HIM !!
Even when Putin himself was NOT able to run for President back in 2008, and the Russians, had a chance to vote for another direction, what did they do?? They voted in Putin's boy Dmitry Medvedev for president, the Russians had the changes to vote for Boris Nemtsov and therefor freedom, rule of law and democracy but NO THEY VOTE for Putins boy Dmitry Medvedev for president, because that was the next best thing to voting for Putin !!!
So the Russians NO longer have an excuse, they are responsible for the actions that the evil regime they support and they have voted for time after time after time….
So WHAT THE REGIME dose in their name and the RuSSians must themselves take responsibility for it..

What women actually want when they say equality is :
- The “privilege” of men
- The “privilege” of women
- The responsibility of neither a man or a woman
- The accountability of children "" (preferably the accountability of a little girl child)
Gentlemen are only obligated to help and assist LADIES , NOT independent feminist that say they don’t need a gentlemen/ man becouse men are toxic ..
“The feminist of today have grown accustomed to privilege and rights equal to a man, so now when a man says I will not help you because we are equal then this equality feels like oppression to the feminist and not like the “equality” they say they want !
The western feminist females have been supporting (for their own anti male agenda) for years this transgender and Lgbtq ++ movement!!! and females have been using the Lgbtq ++ movement as a sledgehammer to hammer down on masculinity and demonize the heterosexual males (and especially white heterosexual males) and they have been doing it for years pushing masculinity into the abyss!!!
But now those strong independent queens, those girl-bosses types of "I don't need a man" , Me woman strong hear my roar ! , Are getting all buhhhh cry baby about this situation, because their own Frankenstein monster is coming back full circle to eat its own promoters that are the female feminists , the Frankenstein monster are taking-over female sports outsmarting females in feminist sphere Their own Frankenstein creation they themselves promoted and helped bring forwarded has now turned on them.
Now monster they was gladly unleashing unto others have come come full circle , the rooster have come home to roost , and it’s bitting them in their own backside!!! And now they are SOooo upset why NO one is helping them fight this transgender Lgbtq ++ Frankenstein monster the monster they themselves helped to unleash on men !! ... (where are all the white knights in shining armor to defend my innocent maiden honor thy cry ?)
Well you made your bed now you sleep in it honey , after all you are a strong independent women you don't need a man , and anything a man can do a woman can do as good or even better at-least that what you have been saying all this time ..
So now you have the chance to prove it!!
You go girl !!!

SO ALL YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS IS WHO BENEFITS AND HOW THEY BENEFIT !! AND YES RUSSIAN AND ONLY RUSSIA BENEFITS HERE BIG TIME !!

PART ONE OF TWO Poland’s genocide myth
There are three conundrum’s facing supporters of the genocide myth.
First, Raphael Lemkin’s definition of genocide is more applicable to the murder of Poland’s military elite in the Katyń Forest in 1940 and the ethnic cleansing of Poles from Galicia and Volhynia by Soviet forces in 1944-1946. Lemkin supported the use of the term genocide to describe Joseph Stalin’s Holodomor (forced famine) in Soviet Ukraine in 1943 which led to the deaths of 4-4.5 million Ukrainians.
Second, Polish historians have sought to find Ukrainian nationalist documents planning or calling for genocide against Poles in Volhynia, but they have failed. Indeed, there is no Polish equivalent of the two-volume, 1,400-page collection of 478 documents on Ukrainian-Polish relations edited by Viatrovych (volume 1 here; volume 2 here). Ukrainian historians believe the reason is because documents and archives would undercut Poland’s genocide myth. In other words, no known OUN (Organisation of Ukrainian Nationalists) instructions exist that ordered UPA units to kill Poles in Volhynia.
Lemkin wrote that genocide requires a prior ideological propaganda campaign to mobilise people to commit the crime, as seen in Nazi Germany and Rwanda. In 1942-1943 there was no propaganda campaign by the OUN against the Polish population. Indeed, the opposite existed with OUN repeatedly seeking to negotiate alliances with the AK (Polish Home Army) but these efforts were being thwarted by the London-based Polish Government-in-Exile. Both Polish and Ukrainian partisan groups discussed the deportation of Ukrainian and Polish populations and those politically loyal and partisan groups affiliated to the pre-war National Democrats (Endecja) even laid out plans for deportations of Jews in the late 1930s and Ukrainians after World War II ended. The genocide myth is based on the exaggerated claim of a mass attack by UPA on July 11th and 12th, 1943 against 146 Polish settlements. Such a massive operation was impossible to undertake for the UPA units that existed at that time who did not yet dominate Volhynia because of a conflict with competing Taras Bulba-Borovets Ukrainian partisan units. Ukrainian historians do not deny that attacks and killings took place but limit these to an absolute maximum of 20-25 settlements.
Polish settlements were not defenceless, as the genocide myth claims. Polish settlements had self-defence units who had been given weapons by the Nazi’s and the AK and they were often bases for the AK and Soviet partisans. Historian Timothy Snyder has written that the majority of Soviet partisans in Volhynia were Poles (numbering between 5,000 and 7,000) and Jews (numbering between 1,000 and 1,500). Poles in Volhynia viewed the Soviets as potential allies against the Ukrainians and Polish self-defence units co-operated with Soviet partisans and the Nazis in attacks against the UPA. In Volhynia and Polissya there were 100 Polish self-defence bases.
A partisan in this conflict – similar to partisans and guerrillas in other wars – is a peasant who carries a weapon and the killing of a partisan could also therefore be described as that of a civilian (Polish Communists reported killing many more “UPA partisans” than existed in Zakerzone because they included murdered civilians). Indeed, Polish and Ukrainian civilians would often join partisan and Nazi (Ukrainian and Polish) police attacks on Ukrainian and Polish villages holding pitchforks and other agricultural implements with the hope of stealing goods from the civilians who had been killed.
Third, how many civilians need to die before a crime is classified as a “genocide”? The genocide claim is discredited by only applying it to killings of Poles and by manipulating dates to begin the Polish-Ukrainian war in 1943. Historians in Ukraine and the West (including Viatrovych who has become a bogeyman to Polish nationalists and yet whom few have read in Poland) do not deny that Ukrainian nationalists and communists killed Poles or even that more Poles died than Ukrainians. What they do dispute though, is the inflated numbers of Polish victims which through the tabloidisation of history now reaches into the hundreds of thousands. Ukrainian historians cite the Polish Institute of National Remembrance as having collected the names of 23,000-31,000 Polish casualties in Volhynia and Galicia.
Grzegorz Motyka (Od Rzezi Wołyńskiej do Akcji Wisła), one of Poland’s most well-known historians on the 1940s cites Władysław and Ewa Siemaszko estimate of 33,000 Polish deaths in Volhynia. Of these, 19, 000 names have been collected. Motyka expanded their estimate of 33,000 (without explaining how) to between 40,000-60,000 and reduced his earlier estimate of Ukrainian casualties to 1,000-2,000. Motyka’s estimates of Polish casualties in Volhynia are similar to those of Snyder (50, 000). Nevertheless, Motyka’s estimate of Ukrainian casualties in Volhynia is far lower than those estimated by Snyder (10,000-20,000) or other historians of Ukraine, such as Paul R. Magocsi (20,000), Myroslaw Shkandrij (15,000-20,000) and Serhii Plokhy (15,000-30,000). Widely different estimates of civilian casualties in the Polish-Ukrainian war in the 1940s can be found within Poland, between Polish and Western historians and especially between historians in Ukraine and Poland.
Historians of Ukraine and objective historians of Poland, such as Timothy Snyder, place the 1943 killings in Volhynia in historical context that began in 1938-1942 and ended in 1947. The number of victims was dependent upon whether Poles or Ukrainians dominated a region. Poles were in a minority in Volhynia and therefore at a disadvantage. In Kholm, Hrubeshiv, Brest, Polissya and Zakerzone (south eastern Poland) Ukrainians were at a disadvantage and suffered proportionately more. Galicia was more evenly balanced and both populations suffered in similar numbers. In Kholm and Hrubeshiv (where Polish forces began the first round of killings of Ukrainian civilians in 1941-1942) and Zakerzone, for example, upwards of 10,000 in the former and 4,000-5,000 Ukrainian civilians in the latter were killed by Polish forces. In regions where Ukrainians were in a minority, such as these, the UPA acted as their only protective force.
Although historians of Ukraine and Snyder present different numbers of Poles and Ukrainians who were killed, they roughly reach a similar conclusion that the overall proportion was two Polish to one Ukrainian killed. Ivan Patryliak, whose work on Ukrainian nationalist groups is regarded as the best in Ukraine, calculates that 39,000-40,000 Poles and 17,000-21,000 Ukrainians were killed.

FOR PART TWO OF TWO LOOK HERE
Poland’s victimisation complex
There are five factors that underlay Poland’s victimisation complex. The first is an unwillingness to accept that Poland was an imperialist power and thereby to only view Poland as a victim of attacks by its neighbours or treachery by its citizens (as in the case of Ukrainians in 1939). Polish historiography does not see a country or people to its immediate east but “wild fields” empty of anything resembling a real nation where Poland, defending the edge of Europe, had a civilising mission. The second, as discussed earlier, is an unwillingness – unlike Ukrainian historians and some historians of Poland such as Snyder – to accept that the killings in Volhynia were not a one-off historical event. They were in fact a part of a bitter war that germinated in the late 1930s and ended in 1947 with Akcja Wisla.
The third is that extreme nationalists not only existed on the Ukrainian side. Polish and Russian nationalists have never viewed Ukrainians as a nation and in interwar Poland anti-Ukrainian policies (which included the burning of hundreds of Ukrainian Orthodox Churches in Kholm and Pidlachia in 1938) meant that few Ukrainians mourned the destruction of the Polish state in 1939. In that same year, Ukrainian nationalists fought against Hungary (and its Nazi and Polish allies) in Carpatho-Ukraine after the dismemberment of Czechoslovakia. In 1943-1944, Ukrainian and Polish nationalists believed the Nazi’s had lost the war and both wanted to take control of territory before the arrival of the Soviets. This was the logic of AK’s “Operation Tempest” throughout Poland. To Ukrainian nationalists, who always viewed the USSR (not Poles) as their main enemy, their memory of defeat in Lviv (Lwów) in 1918 was something they sought to prevent from happening a second time.
The fourth is the pervasive view that only the UPA were criminals while the AK were not. There is abundant archival evidence that the AK, Peasant Battalion and NSZ (National Armed Forces loyal to the Endecja) committed crimes against Ukrainians. Sometimes this was in alliance with Soviet partisans. In March 1944, AK and peasant battalion units participated in the murder of 1,500 Ukrainians in what became called the “Hrubeshiv Revolution”. Former Volhynian AK partisans demobilised by Soviet forces were re-employed in Polish communist and KBW (Internal Security Corps) units that committed numerous killings of Ukrainians in Zakerzone.
The fifth is the widespread myth that only Ukrainians collaborated with the Nazi’s. In fact, both Poles and Ukrainians served in the Nazi police and both these forces committed crimes. The Nazi’s arrested and murdered 80 per cent of OUN’s leaders in the second half of 1941. OUN and AK launched their anti-Nazi partisan struggles at the same time in early 1942. Ukrainian police defected from the Nazi’s in March 1943, nearly a year earlier than the Polish police. Therefore, Ukrainian and Polish police respectively joined the UPA and AK. In 1943-1944, Polish police and the Nazi’s killed numerous Ukrainian civilians in Volhynia. Polish police working for the Nazi’s and self-defence units armed by the Nazi’s contributed the largest number of volunteers to the AK’s largest unit, the 27th Wołyń Division.
Conclusions
Most countries in Europe have skeletons in their closets, especially connected to their imperialist pasts. Of the Axis powers, Germany alone has pursued a policy of rigorous de-Nazification while ignoring until recently its genocide of the Herero, Nama and San people in Namibia in 1904-1907. England celebrates Oliver Cromwell as the father of parliamentary government while Irish history views him as a butcher of Irish Catholics.
There is evidence that nationalism is becoming a part of the mainstream in Poland and Russia, which I argue is not the case in Ukraine – where civic patriotism is dominant. The genocide myth and Poland’s victimisation complex is a product of two factors. The first is the current rise in nationalism throughout Europe and the US. The second draws on historical writing and deep-seated stereotypes and chauvinistic attitudes towards Ukrainians that existed in interwar and communist Poland. These were hidden from view in the 1980s and 1990s when the Jerzy Giedroyc, editor of Kultura journal and the architect of the policy of mutual forgiveness influenced the Solidarity generation and dominated Polish attitudes towards Ukrainians.
A victimisation complex and search for enemies will remain in place as long as nationalism is part of the country’s mainstream. Unfortunately, this will distract from Poland’s strategic objectives of thwarting Russian aggression and supporting Ukraine’s integration into Europe.

IF POLISH LIKE TO ERECT MONUMENTS TO Władysław Raczkiewicz and the former Armia Krajowa unit, commanded Józef Biss that are both guilty of genocide and crimes against humanity then why cant Ukraine erect monumnets to Bandera ??? Bandera was no more a terrorist than Władysław Raczkiewicz or former Armia Krajowa unit, commanded Józef Biss was and his Polish army was when they was killing civilian ethnic Ukrainians and civilian ethnic jewish Ukrainians in Ukrainians lands back in the day...
Ukraine needs to take steps to recognize Pawłokoma massacre as a genocide !!!!!
Why is Poland not apologizing for the Genocide and forced deportations of Ukrainians done by Władysław Raczkiewicz and the former Armia Krajowa unit, commanded Józef Biss ..??
The Pawłokoma massacre is one of the better-known examples of Ukrainian civilians murdered by different Polish groups in February–April 1945. Similar massacres followed in other nearby villages, including Łubna, Małkowice Piskorowice ... On 2–3 March 1945, Ukrainians inhabitants of Pawłokoma were murdered, by a former Armia Krajowa unit, commanded by Józef Biss "Wacław" aided by Polish self-defense groups from nearby villages. The victims were held in a local church, interrogated and tortured and executed. among victims was small children (as young as 10 years old) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paw%C5%82okoma_massacre
Bandera has personally done nothing wrong to Polish people Volhynia Bandera was in fact a P.O.W. from 1941 -1944 the Polish massacre in Volhynia was in 1943 so get over it, and start accusing those how infact did this evil and stop blaming the innocent that had nothing to do with it....
I am not saying that Ukriane must not feel shame for Volhynia massacre as some ethnic Ukrainians tok part that is for sure BUT WHAT I AM SAYING IS that Bandera had nothing to do with it personly …
Also i am saying that.. The Polish Army is as guilty of Genocide done to Ukrainians at Pawłokoma know as the massacre of Pawłokoma..AND POLAND ALSO must feel shame and stop throwing stones in glass houses it comes across as hypocritical
Another thing is.... Why don’t the Polish apologize for genocide done by Poland to Ukrainians and apologize for this evil if you are saying the truth must out then YES let's get the truth out, BUT let's get ALL OF THE TRUTH OUT !!!
When it comes to self criticism or admittance of guilt to national faults within Polish society to outsiders it simply just doesn't exist, the polish nation has a history of turning away from and disregarding any facts that they find unappealing and critical of Poland ...
Polish Army is guilty of Genocide done to Ukrainians at Pawłokoma know as the massacre of Pawłokoma..
On 2–3 March 1945, approximately 366 Ukrainians of Pawłokoma were murdered, by a former Armia Krajowa unit, commanded by Józef Biss "Wacław" aided by Polish self-defense groups from nearby villages.
And it is OK for Poland to call this scum Józef Biss hero of Poland ....why is it not OK for Ukraine to call Bandera a hero of Ukraine ???
Bandera never had anything to do with any genocide like the Polish hero Józef Biss !!!
Józef Biss Armia Krajowa unit, held their victims in a local church, interrogated some were tortured and then taken to a local cemetery where they were executed. Only some small children below 10 years old survived every one else killed by the heros Polish nationalist like you !!!

And her is another Genocide done by Poland to Ukrainians
The operation was carried out by Operational Group Vistula consisting of about 20,000 personnel commanded by General Stefan Mossor. This personnel included soldiers of the Polish People's Army and the Internal Security Corps, as well as functionaries of the police Milicja Obywatelska and the Security Service Urząd Bezpieczeństwa. The operation commenced at 4 a.m., April 28, 1947. The expellees comprised about 140,000 to 150,000 Ukrainians and Lemkos still remaining after the 1944-1946 forcible repatriation of Ukrainians from Poland to the Soviet Union (Ukrainian SSR and Siberia)
The ukrainians was forced by gunpoint and were transported in crowded boxcars for deportations they was told ..
The truth was something far worse than deportation train it was a torture train !!
The let mothers starved themselves to death in order to feed their children. The days, nights, weeks, months were filled with the agonizing cries of hungry children and babies, the moans of the sick and dying, and the sobs of the family members who lost them.
To make things even worse, dead bodies stayed in the closed boxcar until the next stop--which could be as long as a week. During the stop, the people would scurry to look for anything that might be edible or a drop of water.
Some Ukrainians tried to escape but were usually captured, beaten, or shot. In the end, a journey that might normally take four to five hours took up to three months. with extreme torture Imagine you are a child or a mother and three months locked up with all that slowly dyeing for the amusement of the Polish evil psychopathic murderers..
I think a shoot in the head is better don’t you !!!

LETS LOOK AT SOME HISTORY WHY THE VOLHYNIA MASSACRE HAPPENED IN THE FIRST PALCE !
In the part of Western Volhynia, which today lies within the Volhynia, Rivne region and the north of the Ternopol regions of Ukraine, came under Polish rule after 150 years as part of the Russian Empire. It had no Catholics, either Greek or Roman. In 1939, after 20 years under Polish rule, Poles made up approximately 16% of the population. Part of them were settlers from the central districts of Poland, who had received large plots of land, to the dissatisfaction of the poor Ukrainian majority.
In late 20 and 30s Ukrainian organizations in Poland were disturbed by a wave of anti-Ukrainian actions that did erupted ..
Polonization was the acquisition or imposition of elements of Polish culture, in particular the Polish language, as experienced in some historic periods by the non-Polish populations of territories controlled or substantially under the influence of Poland The Polish authorities renamed the eastern part of Austrian Galicia "Eastern Little Poland" and created administrative units (Palatinates) designed to include as many non-Ukrainians as possible.
In 1924 the Polish government under Władysław Grabski excluded the Ukrainian language from use in government institutions. It also avoided the official use of the word "Ukrainian", replacing it with the historical name "Ruthenian
The land reform designed in 1924 to favor the Poles in mostly Ukrainian populated Volhynia, the agricultural territory where the land question was especially was taken over by the Polish state from even the Orthodox Volhynian population who tended to be much less radical than the Greek Catholic Galicians. The fact they was part of the Ukrainian populated was grounds for the Polish state to take the land..
The Polish government in exile, gave orders to the Armija Krajowa (AK), which operated in German occupiedwestern Ukraine, to constantly demonstrate their presence: to oppose the right of Ukrainians to build their ownindependent nation, to destroy any independent Ukrainian military formations in the region, and if necessary todestroy any peaceful Ukrainian villages, bases of support for the UPA. The victims of these barbarous attacks in1943-1944 became thousands of defenseless Ukrainian men, women and children.In 1944, Polish peasant battalions distinguished themselves as being extremely barbaric against Ukrainians inZakerzon. They conducted ethnic cleansing operations, by completely destroying and burning entire Ukrainian-villages, together with their inhabitants.In 1945, at the Potsdam conference of the Allied heads of state, Stalin traded Ukrainian ethnic lands in Zakerzonto Poland in exchange for its open port on the Baltic Sea (now Kalingrad). As a result, Poland had completefreedom to do as it wished with Ukrainians in Kholmschyna and Nadsyannya. Poland viewed these Ukrainians as potential rebels, and their crowning action was Operation “Wisla” in 1947, when over 150,000 Ukrainians wereforcibly removed from their villages by the Polish Army as ethnic cleansing continued

IT WAS NOT ETHNIC RUSSIAN THAT DIED FIGHTING THE NAZIS it was Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia and the other nations that was forced into the USSR and put in the front lines as cannon fodder the ethnic Russians was the NKVD cowards shooting everyone else in the backs the ethnic Russians was in the NKVD and was officers and in supply units behind the lines not getting used a cannon fodder !!
Also let us not forget the fact the it was the Stalin and RuSSia that made it possible for Hitler to build up his nazi army by giving him iron-ore and other need goods from 1939-1941 the soviet union was the strongest and most important partner of nazi Germany ..
It was only after June 1941 when Hitler turned on his good buddy Stalin and attacked the USSR that Stalin came running to the west for help and the west said yes ok we will let you fight with us they did this well knowing that Stalin helped Hitler build his army and also because the west was thinking in terms like my enemy's enemy is my friend policy and tactic
Russians living in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. I really think that the Russians aren’t the ones to lecture ANYONE about fascism, or anything else for that matter, especially since RuSSians was the ones that signed the pact with the-devil [nazigermany] and started World War II… and even today RuSSia are still glorifying Stalin... Hitlers good buddy in 1937-1941 Hitler and Stalin started ww2 together when they invaded Poland together.
The RuZZians were the cowards who shot their own troops in the backs to press other forward infront like a human shields and canon-fodder.
YES they did shoot their own troops in the backs But they did NOT shoot ethnic Russians in the backs as most of that scum was officers and in logistics and the NKVD doing the shooting...
The ethnic Russian scum was the pathetic scummy cowards that was shooting other Soviets in the back.....
And why did this happen you ask !
Answer : Becouse Stalin did not trust Ukrainians (and other none ethnic Russians )(remember he had only 8 years before Stalin had killed 10 mill Ukrainians in a genocide called the holodomor )
So what did Stalin do before ww2 he made a purge and killed all officers of non ethnic Russians decent in the Army and replaced them with ethnic Russians and made all others that was not ethnic Russians in low level positions in other worlds as cannon fodder for the german artillery and targets for german bullets... this was the Ukrainians, Belorussians , Uzbeks , Moldovan’s ect ect ect .. this is who was fighting and geting killed this is who was fighting the-nazi-not ethnic Russians they was in the safe jobs like NKVD ect ect ect ... back in the reserve army and as administrators ect ect..
Why do you think the Kremlin always say Russians died and not soviets died ?????
They do this to cover up this facts I have stated above and for Russia to take the honor from the people who really did the fighting..Russians and Russia have no shame !!

What rally gets me is that some ppl. like idiots like you are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land its just a small part of Ukriane anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...
WE ARE taking about a land mass the size of fucking Belgium, Holland, Austria and Greece all put together do you think the EU will just give putin those lands for exchange of pace .. how about US just gives Russia Alaska ..
Why the should Ukraine give up all that land for what to be invaded only some years later !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country".
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda and so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukriane Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries where nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..

An Arabs home is in an area that is today part of Saudi Arabia, that's where an Arabs come from and that is why they are today are called Arabs.
Arabs today occupy large areas throughout the Middle East and North Africa, an occupied land area that is 630 times greater than the Israel of Israel.
Jews have in history been thrown out of their original homeland many times in history .
The total historic lands belonging to Jews are today parts of Israel, the West Bank, Palestine and parts of today's Jordan, Lebanon.
One thing we need to note is that Jews / Israelites never have not once not one single time in history, renouncing their claime to the land , territories or cities, they have always maintained thier claim and required recognition as the legitimate proprietors of the land, they have claim their historic cities and lands throughout their history. .
(Also the above mentioned country areas have never been 100% Jew / Israelite free in history)
Jews / Israelites have always lived in the above-mentioned territories more or less since 1213 BC. (under foreign power and under occupation and under the freedom when it was from time to time was a Jew / Israeli state / control)
The Arabs did not come to an area before the pedophile Muhammad came riding half-naked on a camel (out of what is today's Saudi Arabia) with an army of fanatic jihadists at around 638 BC.
( Muhammad pedophile evidence ..According to Sunni scriptural Hadith sources, Aisha was six years old when married to Muhammad while marriage was not fulfilled by love before she was 9 years old)
In the Qur'an there is ref. to the fact that the land belongs to the jewish people... In the Qur'an is says... That before the army of Muhammad came to Jerusalem, there was a Jewish / Israeli country and state under Jewish control with the Jewish the King's from the house / family of King David; In other words, Israel and Judah were under Jewish heredity and that the land areas were Jewish .. not Muslim !!
look below
(1. "At the time of the Muslim conquest of the city, the victors encountered many traditions connecting the Temple Mount with David (the Miḥrāb Dāwūd in the Qur'an 38: 20-21) and Jewish beliefs that from there, on Mount Moriah ")
(2) "An older handwritten edition of the Qur'an." David is mentioned 16 times in the Quran. In Islam, David is called Dawood (or Daud, Daoud, Dawud, Arabic داوود,) as a designated prophet and messenger ("Rasul") of Allah, and as the righteous king of Israel. The Muslims assume that David lived until he became old, between 70 and 106. The Quran tells of how he defeated the giant Jalut (Goliath) and that Allah (God) later gave him wisdom and a founded a Jewish / Israeli kingdom ")
My question must be ..
If I live in my house and the neighbor come with friends, takes over my basement turns off the power and throws me and my family out of that house and the neighbor's friends move in and live there for a some years, Does my house (occupied by the neighbor) becomes moral and legal the property of my neighbor? When that my family and my ancestors have owns that property for over 3500 years ++
How can it morally and legally suddenly be my neighbor's after just a few x number of years?
Or is the neighbor just an occupier in my house who has managed to stay there for some time?
And if I one day go to the police (UN) and they look at the case and I get my house and the property back and the neighbor's friends are thrown out and I and my family move back into the house, HOW ARE I an occupier in my own house and property ??

Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!!
There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since Word War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would. And it’s because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. -- Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...

US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , becouse Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!

WHY TRUMPS AMERICA IS NOW HYPOCRITICAL !
1. I want to ask Americans : Did America ever pay back France for supporting us during the Revolutionary War ???? Nope !! Good example for the world !
2. When Denmark sold the West Indies (FACT, purchase the US Virgin Islands from Denmark.) to the United States in 1917, the agreement included a clause that obliged the United States to refrain from making territorial claims to Greenland. It would therefore be a breach of a previous agreement if Trump makes good on his threats to use economic or military force to gain control of Greenland.
3. US. gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , because Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
4. When America was attacked on September the 11 2001 and The World Trade Center was crumbling ever European Country helped America ; when you went into IRAQ and Afghanistan every European Country was with you sending their boys to day side by side with US troops !!!
In fact every war that the US has been involved in since the 2nd world war be it Korea, Vietnam , etc etc EUROPEAN AND NATO trops have been there for you every step of the way !!! SO WHO IS BEING ENTAILED HERE !! ..
ON A SIDE NOTE ; Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, several countries began military operations against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Afghanistan.
UKRAINE WAS ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES Ukraine was with the US. for 11 years side by side back to back with US forces !!!!
Ukraine allowed use of its airspace and airbases to the US and its allies, but only for cargo flights. Ukraine was a participant in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan and deployed troops as part of NATO's ISAF mission to the country. It contributed medical personnel supporting Provincial Reconstruction Teams, and provided instructors for NATO's Training Mission. After ISAF's mission ended in 2014, Ukraine supported the follow-on Resolute Support Mission (2015-2021) that trained, advised and assisted Afghan security forces

NATO, Nazis, Satanists: Putin is running out of excuses for his imperial war !!
Why did Vladimir Putin invade Ukraine? The answer to this question really depends on when you’re asking. In the months leading up to the invasion, the Russian dictator focused his ire on NATO and sought to blame rising tensions around Ukraine on the military alliance’s post-Cold War expansion. As his troops crossed the border on February 24, Putin changed tack and declared a crusade against “Ukrainian Nazis.” More recently, he has sought to portray Ukraine as a “terrorist state” while insisting that Russia is in fact fighting against “Satanism.”
None of these arguments stands up to serious scrutiny. Instead, the various different narratives coming out of the Kremlin reflect Moscow’s increasingly desperate efforts to justify what is in reality an old-fashioned colonial war of imperial conquest.
Putin has long sought to use NATO expansion as an excuse for his own aggressive foreign policies. This plays well with the Russian public and also resonates among segments of the international community who believe the United States has become too dominant since the end of the Cold War. However, Putin’s attempts to position the invasion of Ukraine as a reasonable response to NATO encroachment have been comprehensively debunked by his own actions.
According to Reuters, Ukraine informed Russia during the first days of the invasion that it was ready to meet Moscow’s demands and rule out the possibility of future NATO membership, only for this offer to be rejected by Putin. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy went public in the following weeks with similar proposals to abandon Ukraine’s NATO ambitions, but Russia chose to continue its invasion.
The entire notion that Russia views NATO as a credible security threat was further undermined in summer 2022 when Moscow passively accepted neighboring Finland’s historic decision to join the military alliance. Putin has repeatedly cited Ukraine’s deepening NATO ties as justification for his invasion, but the prospect of imminent Finnish membership provoked no meaningful security response whatsoever from the Kremlin.
If Putin genuinely believed a NATO invasion of Russia was even a remote possibility, he would surely have reinforced the Finnish border. On the contrary, in the months following Helsinki’s decision to join the alliance, Russia dramatically reduced its military presence close to Finland and the nearby NATO member Baltic states in order to bolster the invasion of Ukraine. Whatever Putin may say in public, he clearly understands that NATO poses no threat to Russia.

The Black Sea countries are many!! And Then Black Sea does not belong to Russia that’s a myth !!
Bulgaria, (NATO )
Romania (NATO)
Turkey (NATO)
Ukraine (NATO partner )
Georgia (NATO partner)
So in-fact ANY NATO country members navy and or air force is within their full right to sail and be within the Black Sea, as non of the Black Sea Nations (That have a real and legal int. recognized cost-line not like Russia ) have any problem with NATO ships being in their waters and even the non NATO members like Ukraine and Georgia, even more so then the NATO nations, want and are begging for more NATO ships to come and be in the BLACK SEA !
(NATO nations of the black sea are in-fact real black sea nations not like Russia stealing land then claiming to be the owner of that land and sea )
Coastline length to the black see by country/ Country Coastline length (km)
Turkey 1,329km (NATO)
Ukraine 2,782km (NATO partner )
Bulgaria 354km (NATO)
Georgia 310km (NATO partner )
Romania 225km (NATO)
AND ON A SIDE NOTE : NATO is already 500 km from Moscow via Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BS there is 800 km from Kyiv to Moscow ..
And her is a thought .. if every neighbor you have is running to begging NATO to let them join NATO is it becouse you are such a nice and good neighbor?
Or is it because you act like a bully and are aggressive and invade your neighbor lands sending in troops and tanks
Hungary 1956,
Czechoslovakia 1968,
Poland 1980
Moldova 1990-91,
Georgia 2008,
Ukraine 2014 ++ and now all of Ukraine 2022+++
Russia eat eat eats its victims and blames its victims for eating them ...
Maybe if you act in a more nicer way, then your neighbors will liked you more and maybe your neighbors in your neighborhood will want to be around you as well ..

The aid is not pallets of cash. It’s in the form of military equipment, assigned a value, that is donated,”. “That equipment is usually older and would be replaced in the next few years anyway, at a cost. I’m sure she doesn’t understand this.”
Still, the largest bucket of overall U.S. aid committed to Ukraine — more than $46 billion, is military support in the form of equipment not cash !! The military equipment has been pulled directly from existing U.S. military SURPLUS inventory and other parts of the funding has also been used to purchase new weapons from US industrial complex industry and american manufacturers; this supports local American communities in states (over 33 states ) that produce weapon's (so the money doesn't go into the pockets of Zelensky and fiends thats a myth pumped out by Russian propaganda and regurgitated by "pathetic tools" of the kremlin like Tucker Carlsen )
Members of Congress have questioned how closely the U.S. is tracking its aid to Ukraine to ensure that it is not subject to fraud or ending up in the wrong hands. The Pentagon’s inspector general told lawmakers at a hearing, that his office has found no evidence of such corruption or wrongdoing, but cautioned that investigations are only in their early stages.
Despite claims to the contrary, the United States is not sending bags of unaccounted-for cash to Ukraine. Most US contributions go to military aid, including weapons and equipment made by American defense contractors who employ communities across the country. When the United States spends money to purchase military equipment as part of an international aid package, the materiel may go overseas, but the money and jobs stay in America.
Similarly, appropriations for the US Foreign Military Financing program provide incentives for NATO allies and partners to secure US-made capabilities. This translates to more business for US companies and sustained employment for rural communities in which they operate.
For instance, Lockheed Martin, maker of the HIMARS—which has been central to Ukraine’s counteroffensive—plans to increase its Camden, Arkansas facility’s workforce by 20%, and recently announced increased profit projections through the end of the year. Similarly, General Dynamics has committed to building new production facilities in Mesquite, Texas, bringing money and jobs to the region. Change like this takes place only when the Pentagon sends strong and stable market signals to the defense industry, giving it the confidence to expand and hire.
In short, the numbers suggest that continued support for Ukraine is a win-win for Ukrainians and the American people. The United States can continue to defend stability and democratic governance across the globe, while at the same time boosting American industrial output and advancing US economic interests.

THE AID TO UKRAINE IS NOT REALLY FREE MONEY .. Its more like buying yourself a new cell phone and giving the old away to your kid, and claiming you gave your kid pounds 2,000 (the price of the new phone) because he now has your old cell phone and you have the new one !!!
NOW LET ME EXPLAIN
The aid is not pallets of cash. It’s in the form of military equipment, assigned a value, that is donated,”. “That equipment is usually older and would be replaced in the next few years anyway, at a cost. I’m sure she doesn’t understand this.”
Still, the largest bucket of overall aid committed to Ukraine — more than is military support in the form of equipment NOT cash !!
The military equipment has been pulled directly from existing U.S. military old SURPLUS inventory that has a shelf date that soon will be past that date ; and will be needing replacement anyway this way US. gets to restock its military equipment with more newer updates versions and send the soon to by out of date to Ukraine and as a bonus US. military saves the money it will have used for destroying the old military equipment as well !!
Also it is true other parts of the Aid / funding will be used to purchase new weapons and this will be sent to Ukraine; but all sales must be and will be bought from the US industrial complex industry and American manufacturers; this supports local American communities in states (over 33 states ) that produce weapon's this helps marginalized communities and sates get a solid cash influx / bust into their local economy and supports jobs within the factors that will be producing those new weapons.-.
(So the money doesn't go into the pockets of Zelensky and friends thats a myth pumped out by Russian propaganda and regurgitated by "pathetic tools" of the kremlin like TuckerCarlsen )

In short, the numbers suggest that continued support for Ukraine is a win-win for Ukrainians and the American people.
The United States can continue to defend stability and democratic governance across the globe, while at the same time boosting American industrial output and advancing US economic interests.
So like i have said; This is more like buying yourself a new cell phone and giving the old away to your kid, and claiming you gave your kid 2,000 pounds (the price of the new phone) because he now has your old cell phone and you have the new one !!! IT'S A WIN WIN !!

@daniellarson3068 United States as a nation began with the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 - as well as a century and a half earlier, when a group of English Puritans landed on Plymouth Rock in 1620.
All nations have a story to tell how they came into being. Some are rooted in ancient history while others, including numerous new nations that arose on the ruins of European colonial expansion, tie their emergence to more recent events. But whether mythical or historical, those origins are always connected to the land those nations inhabit.
Not so Russia. It may be the only major nation to locate its origins in a foreign country. Every Russian school kid learns that his country’s history began on the banks of the Dnipro, in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.
Vladimir Putin recently declared that Ukrainians and Russians are “one folk” - meaning, of course, that Ukrainians are Russian. An extraordinary number of his countrymen share this belief. Imagine a prime minister of the United Kingdom insisting that Americans are not a nation but merely Brits with funny accents. But it is even more ridiculous than that: it’s as though the Italian president would lay claim on Spain - or one of Spain’s former colonies in Latin America - asserting that the Spanish language is a bastardized form of Italian.
Russia’s attitude to Ukraine and things Ukrainian reflects deeply ingrained imperial complexes, revealing that, while the Soviet Empire collapsed in 1991, the Russian Empire still lingers in the minds of the citizens of the Russian Federation. And, one of the strangest things this past year has been the number people with Ukrainian surnames, many of them also born in Ukraine but now living in Russia, who spew hatred for their native land.
What we know today to be Russians are nothing more than Finnish nomadic tribes that assimilated with the Mongolian horde in the 1200 They are not Slavic people like Ukrainians or Polish people even if they claim to be, and therefore have no real claim to Slavic lands or history .. But descendants from finish nomadic tribes that assimilated with the Mongolian.
The Russians brainwashed just continue to brainwash everyone, when they assert that Kyivan Rus was the cradle of three sibling nations – Russians, Ukrainians and Belarus; and that because the Russians are “older brothers”, they have the right to the legacy of Kyivan Rus. To this day, Russian historians and officials make use of this woeful lie, which is repeated by Putin in his propaganda today .
Here are the facts:
At the time of the Kyivan Empire there was no mention of a Moscow nation in history Russia was not a part of history before 1721 when it was proclaimed be peter the grate It is well known that Moscow was created in 1277 as a subservient vassal region or ‘ulus’ to the Golden Horde, established by the Khan Mengu-Timur. By that time, Ukrainians city of Kiev and the Ukrainians peoples the Kyivan Rus had existed for more than 300 years.
There are no indications of any connection of Ukrainians peoples the Kyivan Rus with the Finnish ethnic groups in the land of ‘Moksel’ what today we know as Russia or the later of the Moscow principality with the Principality of Kyivan Rus up until the XVI century. At the time when the Ukrainians peoples (Kyivan Rus ) had officially accepted Christianity, the Finn tribes in ‘Moksel’ today's Russia was still was living in a semi-primitive nomadic state.

THE CASE WHY UKRIANE WILL BE GOOD FOR NATO AND NATO GOOD FOR UKRIANE !
1. The important bit of NATOs article 5 is that it invokes the UN article 51. UN article 51 says that all countries have the right to self defense against an attack. NATO article 5 means that for the purposes of UN A. 51, NATO is one block.Thus an attack on any country in the alliance gives all other countries in NATO the right to act in defense of that country.
2. The amount of money and equipment NATO countries in the last 10 years has pumped into Ukraine; has turned The Ukrainian Army into a well armed battle hardened fighting force ; Ukrainian troops have been trained to NATO standard, and have gaining valuable experience in how to fight Russia (experience that no other army in the world has ) to they point that Ukraine is the foremost expert in the world when it comes to how to defeat Russian military battlefield tactics!!! With that alone, Ukriane will be a valuable partner in the NATO alliance. If anything does happen to, for example, the Baltic countries (Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, for anyone who does know, no judgement if you don't) then I can't see Ukraine shying away from returning the favor. So they'd end up fighting in there alongside the rest of us anyway...
All that, and I think it's safe to say that the Ukrainian people for generations to come deserve it written in black and white that we absolutely will be there if anything like this were to happen again
PS. UKRAINIANS MORE THEN ANYONE ELSE KNOW ONE THING .. : Better One Foot in NATO than a Cold Ass in Siberia.!!

RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination like a type of 2nd class country; that is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country, that indirectly will serving the kremlin's geopolitical agenda, and so Kremlin, the RuZZians and Putin can feel better about themselves ...
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.
Summary: former states of the USSRs are now full independent states and their borders are defined and recognized by not just the international community , the UN and intr. org. treaties and agreements but when it comes to UKRAINE Russia itself RECOGNIZED Ukraines borders and territory in the 1991 ( Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords ) and in 1994 with the Budapest Memorandum and Russian back in 1991 recognized all the other internal borders of the USSR as international boards that now defines all the other different countries sovereign statehood . Those borders Russia recognized when it came to Ukraine clearly puts Crimea within Ukrainian territorial control . Period.

What is Phobia ???
A Phobia is an irrational fear of something or someone will hurt you ... !!
And in the case of Russian nationalism and other type of evil ideologies like Islamic jihadism, everyone is justified in having fear of them both, as both of them do evilacts of terrorism and therefore both areEVIL to their core !!
So to feel disgusted and fear for islamic jihadists and their actions and feel disgusted and fear for RuSSians evil fanatic actions of war crimes and acts of terrorism (war crimes and shooting down civilian jet MH17) IS NOT an irrational fear or a phobia BUT a rational justified fear for the terrorism they commit and the death and destruction they in fact do !!!
IT IS THEREFORE NOT A PHOBIA TO FEEL DISGUSTED AND FAIR FOR THEEVIL ACTS DONE BY RUSSIA, AS EVILACTS ARE DISGUSTING AND SCARY !!
If Moscow is genuinely innocent of all the misdeeds attributed to it, why does it always seem to get the blame?
The Kremlin attributes every new allegation to Russophobia.
This excuse has proven ideally suited to the varied terrain of hybrid warfare, serving as a one-size-fits-all explanation for virtually any charge.
Whether the claims relate to Russian soldiers in Ukraine, Russian trolls on social media, or the use of Russian chemical (novichok poisoning) weapons in England, Moscow dismisses it all as the work of desperate and irrational Russophobes whose obvious prejudice renders their conclusions null and void.
The term itself is nothing new and first appeared in the nineteenth century, but references to Russophobia have skyrocketed since 2014. It has become one of the buzzwords of the fake news era and a significant information warfare weapon in its own right.
Accusations of Russophobia are most common in the Russian media and official Kremlin parlance. According to the Atlantic Council’s Digital Forensic Research Lab, Russian Foreign Ministry statements mentioned Russophobia just three times in 2013 by 2022, the figure had climbed to 156.

NATO is a "threat" to Russia in the sense that a cop on the beat is a "threat" to a mugger. NATO wouldn't have been formed in the first place if Stalin had not rejected the US offer of the same Marshall Plan which so benefited the rest of Europe everywhere it was instituted, Stalin was instead bent every effort to CONQUER and dominate European neighboring states and expand Russia, borders with its concept of "sphere of influence " over the near abroad..
We need to understand that Russia didn't come to encompass 11% of earth's land area, by being invaded by other countries; Russia did so by invading far more other countries, than it was itself invaded by ; Remember Russia is a Federation of states , and the Russian part of that federation is the smallest state in the "Russian federation.".
(Russia with a total area of 17,098,242 Km² (6,601,665 mi²) and a land area of 16,376,870 Km² (6,323,142 mi²), equivalent to 11% of the total world's landmass )
In history MANY and ALL countries have been invaded frequently by their neighbors throughout all of history. Was Russia invaded more than France? Germany? Poland in HISTORY ? NO IT WAS NOT !!!
So this acting the victim, when it comes to the west, that Kremlin does all the time, .. This buhhh the evil-west AGGRESSIVE west always invades us always is attacking us Buhhhh; This is why we see western NATO as a danger buhhhh !!!! THIS TYPE OF ACTING THE VICTEM is absolute and nothing more and less than Kremlin BS is is done so you overlook the facts and to pull the smoke over your eyes !!! ..

The military equipment has been pulled directly from existing U.S. military old SURPLUS inventory that has a shelf date that soon will be past that date ; and will be needing replacement anyway this way US. gets to restock its military equipment with more newer updates versions and send the soon to by out of date to Ukraine and as a bonus US. military saves the money it will have used for destroying the old military equipment as well !!
Also it is true other parts of the Aid / funding will be used to purchase new weapons and this will be sent to Ukraine; but all sales must be and will be bought from the US industrial complex industry and American manufacturers; this supports local American communities in states (over 33 states ) that produce weapon's this helps marginalized communities and sates get a solid cash influx / bust into their local economy and supports jobs within the factors that will be producing those new weapons.-.
(So the money doesn't go into the pockets of Zelensky and friends thats a myth pumped out by Russian propaganda and regurgitated by "pathetic tools" of the kremlin like TuckerCarlsen )
Members of Congress have questioned how closely the U.S. is tracking its aid to Ukraine to ensure that it is not subject to fraud or ending up in the wrong hands.
The Pentagon’s inspector general told lawmakers at a hearing, that his office has found no evidence of such corruption or wrongdoing, but cautioned that investigations are only in their early stages.
The Pentagon’s inspector general also informed the Members of Congress that despite claims to the contrary, the United States is not sending bags of unaccounted-for cash to Ukraine. Most US contributions go to military aid, including weapons and equipment made by American defense contractors who employ communities across the country. When the United States spends money to purchase military equipment as part of an international aid package, the materiel may go overseas, but the money and jobs stay in America. Similarly, appropriations for the US Foreign Military Financing program provide incentives for NATO allies and partners to secure US-made capabilities. This translates to more business for US companies and sustained employment for rural communities in which they operate.
For instance, Lockheed Martin, maker of the HIMARS—which has been central to Ukraine’s counteroffensive—plans to increase its Camden, Arkansas facility’s workforce by 20%, and recently announced increased profit projections through the end of the year. Similarly, General Dynamics has committed to building new production facilities in Mesquite, Texas, bringing money and jobs to the region. Change like this takes place only when the Pentagon sends strong and stable market signals to the defense industry, giving it the confidence to expand and hire.
In short, the numbers suggest that continued support for Ukraine is a win-win for Ukrainians and the American people.
The United States can continue to defend stability and democratic governance across the globe, while at the same time boosting American industrial output and advancing US economic interests.

Russian controlled Soviet Unions former satellite states like Poland, Romania,Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect ...couldn't wait to join NATO and the EU to get as far away from Russian hegemony control as fast as they possibly could at the time.
If the Russians weren't such malignant, belligerent a**holes, they wouldn't have to worry about, former satellite states like Poland,Romania,Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect running to and knocking at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come inn .
Eastern Europe joins NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be independent. Nobody forced them.
Russia just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might get invaded.
During Soviet times those countries where Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO then they couldn't guarantee their independence from Russia. Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure their independence.
“For the Russian soul, liberty is not a human instinct. Liberty is a value, not a yearning. Russians yearn to be lead, yearn to be taken care of; They do not yearn to be free. The year for the dictator to take care of them like a little child yearns for his mother; a hand full of people in Russia yearn to be free, most do not."
- Sigmund Freud once said (and this goes double for Russians ) : "Most people don't want freedom. Freedom requires responsibility, and responsibility terrifies people. "
Her is a thought if every one thinks you are a bunch of malignant, belligerent a**holes and you think you are the the greatest thing since sliced bread and you are the only one that thinks that maybe you need a reality check and just maybe just maybe you are a bunch of malignant, belligerent a**holes and not the greatest thing since sliced bread

Russia is a joke and will always be a joke, Russians have nothing at all to be proud of Stalins USSR and today's Putin's Russia was and are totalitarian states..
Putin is appealing to the most basic of instincts, fears and insecurities in Russians. Many Russians harbor insecurities related to loss of the evil empire that was the USSR, and with that Russians idea of being / having superpower status..
Lets be honest, the Soviet Union 1922–1991 only was in word history for 69 years not much of a superpower if you only can claim 69 years in history, before you was wiped out of existence ...69 years my grandmother Bessy is older than that LOL
Or what am i not right ?????
USSR can only claim 69 years it started in 1922 and was dissolved in 1991 ....
Russians USSR a super power don't make me laugh....it was nothing more and RuSSia today still is nothing more then a evil state run by evil little people that just has some nukes under their control.. and as the cowards they are wave around themself's this weapons and shout about them to make themselves look big..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union
Russians have nothing at all to be proud of Stalin the USSR and today's Putin's Russia are and was all totalitarian states..
RuSSia and the Soviet Union was NO better then Hitlers Germany, Pol Potts Cambodia, Idi Amins Uganda, Francos Spain, Mussolini’s Italia, Gaddafi's Libya, Kim Jong-un North Korea and/ or Putins good friend Bashar Al-Assads Syria

Iraqi invaded Kuwait (first Iraq war ) and US responded with a UN secretary council mandate !! Members of Congress of both political parties, and members of the United Nations Security Council, (that both Russia and China are members of and both have veto rights in the UN Security Council ) agree at the time that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must disarm.
2. Afghanistan was harboring al-Qaede, and was asked to give up Bin Landen the refused and became a party in the 9/11 attacks ... so USA was attacked and it responded with a UN mandate
3. Libya was NOT USA it was in fact a UN security counsel section mission by the UN.. They asked NATO to help ... The NATO-led operation was launched under the authority of two UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR), 1970 and 1973, both quoting Chapter VII of the UN Charter, and neither of which was opposed by Russia.
4. In 2003 invasion of Iraq (2nd Iraq war )!! Everyone believed Saddam when he said he had weapons and why not believe he had only some years before in the IRAN /IRAQ war used such weapons so there was not reason to not to believe him and he was offered several time to prove he did not have and let the UN weapons inspectors in to confirm or disconfirm if he had those weapons that everyone believed he had and he refused to let in the UN weapons inspectors (by the way how was french not American ) and the UN Security Council that Russia and CHINA are members of and has veto vote in (so they can use veto vote to block anything they want )did not have any problem in the United Nations Security Council and US demanding Saddam follow the restriction and demands that was imposed by the United Nations Security Council at they time !! Because everyone's own intelligence agency (not just the US ) even Russia and china was convinced Sadam did in-fact have WMDs
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 is a United Nations Security Council resolution adopted unanimously by the United Nations Security Council on 8 November 2002, offering Iraq under Saddam Hussein "a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations" that had been set out in several previous resolutions (Resolutions 660, 661, 678, 686, 687, 688, 707, 715, 986, and 1284).[1] It provided a justification for what was subsequently termed the US invasion of Iraq !!!
Resolution 1441 stated that Iraq was in material breach of the ceasefire terms presented under the terms of Resolution 687. Iraq's breaches related not only to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), but also the known construction of prohibited types of missiles, the purchase and import of prohibited armaments, and the continuing refusal of Iraq to compensate Kuwait for the widespread looting conducted by its troops during the 1990–1991 invasion and occupation. It also stated that "...false statements or omissions in the declarations submitted by Iraq pursuant to this resolution and failure by Iraq at any time to comply with, and cooperate fully in the implementation of, this resolution shall constitute a further material breach of Iraq's obligations."

You dont fine this strange that all this happened just right after Putin had all those massive meetings in the last months ; Putin in the last months has had personal meetings with all of the leaders of Iran , North Korea , China and even the Taliban and Hams in the last months !!! And now all we all of see that suddenly out of the blue, Hamas has all the resources it needs to go all out war with the strongest country in the middle east Hamas a little bankrupt terror org. can now go an all out attack full scale attack on Israel !!!
Ask yourself HOW IS THE POSSIBLE how did they almost over night get those resources and who benefits from all this uproar and destabilization in the middle east WHO ???
NOT ISREAL NOT IRAN NOT AFGHANISTAN NOT SYRIA NOT THE EU NOT USA NOT UK NOT CHINA NOT EVEN PALESTINE INFACT NO COUNTRY BENEFITS FROM THIS, WITH THE ONE EXCEPTION THERE IS ONE COUNTRY THAT DOES BENEFITS AND ITS RUSSIA; YES RUSSIA BENEFITS FROM THIS AND THEY REALLY BENEFIT FORM IT BIG TIME !!
RuZZia gets to have western media look another way form what RuZZia is doing inside Ukraine!!!!! Russia gets to defect the worlds attention way from the war crimes, genocide , the 10s of thousands of Ukrainian children Russian army has kidnapped in Ukriane !!!
Russia gets the world media to look another way when it comes to the fact the Putin is a wanted man that the ICC International criminal court in The Hague as issued an arrest warrant ,for war crimes and crimes against humanity including but not limited to genocide and for kidnapping of Ukrainian children and forcibly deporting them to Russia !!

The Black Sea countries are many!! And Then Black Sea does not belong to Russia that’s a myth !!
Bulgaria, (NATO )
Romania (NATO)
Turkey (NATO)
Ukraine (NATO partner )
Georgia (NATO partner)
So in-fact ANY NATO country members navy and or air force is within their full right to sail and be within the Black Sea, as non of the Black Sea Nations (That have a real and legal int. recognized cost-line not like Russia ) have any problem with NATO ships being in their waters and even the non NATO members like Ukraine and Georgia, even more so then the NATO nations, want and are begging for more NATO ships to come and be in the BLACK SEA !
(NATO nations of the black sea are in-fact real black sea nations not like Russia stealing land then claiming to be the owner of that land and sea )
Coastline length to the black see by country/ Country Coastline length (km)
Turkey 1,329km (NATO)
Ukraine 2,782km (NATO partner )
Bulgaria 354km (NATO)
Georgia 310km (NATO partner )
Romania 225km (NATO)
AND ON A SIDE NOTE : The western NATO-alliance is already 500 km from Moscow via Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BS there is 800 km from Kyiv to Moscow ..
(And lets not forget the last time when "Russia" got closer to NATO it was in-fact Russia own doing, by invading and annexing Crimea in 2014 "Russia" came right up-to and ended inside the NATO countries BLACK SEA maritime territorial waters !!)
And her is a thought .. If every neighbor you have is running to NATO begging NATO to let them join; is it becouse you are such a nice and good neighbor?
Or is it because you act like a bully and are aggressive and invade your neighbors lands sending in troops and tanks Hungary 1956, Czechoslovakia 1968, Poland 1980 Moldova 1990-91, Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014 ++ and now Kazakhstan 2022+++ and Ukraine 2022 (soon to come ) ??
Russia eats eats eats its victims and then blame the victims for eating them !!...
Maybe if you act in a more nicer way, then your neighbors will liked you more and maybe your neighbors in your neighborhood will want to be around you as well ..

Massive American Aid Has Helped Russians Three Times in the Last Century..
Under the bland title of the Lend-Lease Act, American taxpayers sent to the Soviet people, from 1941 to 1945, $11.3 billion worth of war supplies. That is $146 billion in contemporary dollars.
This steel river of jeeps, trucks and bombers was neither a loan nor a lease. Franklin Roosevelt chose that title in the hopes of deluding American isolationists who opposed what they saw (correctly) as an outright gift to Moscow.
What did this money buy for the USSR? 3,770 bombers, 11,594 fighter planes, 5,980 anti-aircraft guns, 2,000 railroad locomotives, 51,000 jeeps, 361,000 trucks, 56,445 field telephones, 600,000 kilometers of telephone wire, 22 million artillery shells, almost one billion rifle cartridges, and 15 million pairs of army boots.
Shipped through the North Atlantic, driven up through Persia, or flown in from Alaska, this ready-made war material also freed up 600,000 Soviet factory workers to directly fight the naziinvaders.

There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since Word War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would. And it’s because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. We need to understand that that some ppl. probably do not realizing the Russians like the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. -- Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

@BCSTS Claim: NATO promised Russia it would not expand after the Cold War
Fact: NATO Allies take decisions by consensus and these are recorded. There is no record of any such decision having been taken by NATO. Personal assurances from individual leaders cannot replace Alliance consensus and do not constitute formal NATO agreement.
NATO's "Open Door Policy" is based on Article 10 of the Alliance's founding document, the North Atlantic Treaty (1949). The Treaty states that NATO membership is open to any "European state in a position to further the principles of this Treaty and to contribute to the security of the North Atlantic area". It states that any decision on enlargement must be made "by unanimous agreement". NATO has never revoked Article 10, nor limited the potential for enlargement. Over the past 65 years, 29 countries have chosen freely, and in accordance with their domestic democratic processes, to join NATO. This is their sovereign choice.
In addition, at the time of the alleged promise, the Warsaw Pact still existed.
Its members did not agree on its dissolution until 1991.
The idea of their accession to NATO was not on the agenda in 1989.
This was confirmed by Mikhail Gorbachev himself in an interview with Russia Beyond the Headlines: see link https://www.rbth.com/international/2014/10/16/mikhail_gorbachev_i_am_against_all_walls_40673.html
Mikhail Gorbachev himself : "The topic of 'NATO expansion' was not discussed at all, and it wasn't brought up in those years. I say this with full responsibility. Not a single Eastern European country raised the issue, not even after the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist in 1991. Western leaders didn't bring it up, either."
Newly declassified White House transcripts also reveal that, in 1997, Bill Clinton consistently refused Boris Yeltsin’s offer of a ‘gentlemen’s agreement’ that no former Soviet Republics would enter NATO:
“I can’t make commitments on behalf of NATO, and I’m not going to be in the position myself of vetoing NATO expansion with respect to any country, much less letting you or anyone else do so…
Also on a side note : if there was a such agreement (and there was not ) the agreement will have been with the USSR and the USSR as a country and legal entity no longer excites any more it is only in the history books and therefor all legally binding verbal or otherwise contract with the USSR is no longer valid and has no legal standing !!
NATO operates by consensus.”

RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention. 2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
9. The 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .

Some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land its just a small part of Ukriane anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass over 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and most of England
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the should Ukraine give up all that land for what to be invaded only some years later !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda and so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukriane Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries where nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..

The western feminist females have been supporting (for their own anti male agenda) for years this transgender and Lgbtq ++ movement!!!
The truth is that females have been using the Lgbtq ++ movement as a sledgehammer to hammer down on what they call toxic masculinity ( basically anything male or seen as manly ) to demonize the heterosexual males (and especially white heterosexual males) and they have been doing it for years pushing masculinity into the abyss be calling it toxic belittling anything and everything they can that is "manish " "boyish "!!!
But now those strong independent queens, those girl-bosses types of "I don't need a man" , Me woman strong hear my roar ! , Are getting all buhhhh cry baby about this situation, because their own lgbtq +++ support is coming back full circle to eat its own promoters that are the female feminists , the transgenders are taking-over female sports outsmarting females in feminist sphere Their own ideology and monstercreation they themselves promoted and helped bring forwarded has now turned on them.
But those strong independent females have for years been more than happy to using the transgender Lgbtq ++ agenda against heterosexual males to demonize heterosexual males and belittle boys men ..
But now themonster they was gladly unleashing unto others, have come full circle , the rooster have come home to roost , and it’s bitting them in their own backside!!!
And now they are SOooo upset why NO one is helping them fight this transgender Lgbtq ++ agenda the horror they themselves helped to unleash on men !! ...
And now the screams we hear from feminists are: Where are all the white knights in shining armor to defend my innocent maiden honor thy cry ?
Well you made your bed now you sleep in it honey , after all you are a strong independent women you don't need a man , and anything a man can do a woman can do as good or even better at-least that what you have been saying all this time ..
So now you have the chance to prove it!!
You go girl !!!

What women actually want when they want "equality" is :
- The societal rights “privilege” of men
-The authority of a man
-The societal rights “privilege” of women
- The responsibility of neither a man or a woman
-The freedom of a wild animal
- The accountability of a child (preferably a baby girl child)
- The just want the best of both worlds, worst of none
Men: Just want peace and femininity.
Women: I don't need a man, I am a fantastic catch I have a degree in social studies, I own my own business, My own house, my own car and a summer house by the sea (took it all in divorce court from my last husband of 22 years ) .
Men: Those aren't personality traits we look for in a partner .
Women: I don't care! Date me! Buy me things!
Hey? Where did all the good men go?
Here is 2 things feminists needs to understand !!
1, NO man ever put his hand under a woman's dress looking for her degree.
2.Saying things like ; I'm an independent woman" . I work hard, I own my own business." I have a degree " Somebody needs to let the modern feminist know that these words are kryptonite to men.
Gentlemen are only obligated to help and assist LADIES , NOT independent feminist that say they don’t need a gentlemen/ man becouse men are toxic ..
“The feminist of today have grown accustomed to privilege and rights equal to a man, so now when a man says I will not help you because we are equal then this equality feels like oppression to the feminist and not like the “equality” they say they want !
Females today !!
1. The right to vote without military service. (the right to vote was before based on that you had to serve in the nations army that why men historically got the vote now exploited by females )
2. Sexual liberation with anticoncepcional pills. (made by males to help females and exploited by females ) Ginocentric Divorce courts breaking families for women happiness. (court legal system made by men exploited by females )
3. Social media putting hypergamy on steroids. (internet another thing made by males exploited by females )
Conclusion
They don't want a Man... they want a meal ticket and a retirement plan. Women want men to ask questions about them, OK; How much did you take your last husband for? Hell, I don't even see the point of any of this... Not like you are going to have kids or anything. It's not like I need you, but you are the prize right... well go be the prize over there away from me.
Guess the results : The men of the western world gets hard core f and not the good kind of f !! .

KARL MARX ....... "Russia, which has nothing to do with Kivan Russ, now called Russia, received, or rather stole its current name, at best in the 18th century, nevertheless - brazenly claims to the historical legacy of Kievan Russ, that was created eight hundred years earlier. Moscow history is the history of the Horde, sewn to the history of Russia with white threads and completely falsified. ”(Karl Marx, Exposing the Diplomatic History of the 18th Century) ..
HER YOU SAY MARX SAYS MOSCVOY (today's Russia) IS THE DECEDENTS OF MONGOLIANS AND THAT KYIV (today Ukraine ) IS THE DESCENDANTS OF SLAVIC KYIV RUSS.
" The bloody mire of Mongolian slavery, not the rude glory of the Norman epoch, forms the cradle of Muscovy, and modern Russia is but a metamorphosis of Muscovy..

lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here Tump says just gove it up its just a small part of Ukraine ; and we need pace so we can do deals with Putin ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..
FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5:
1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression.
2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility.
3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

TO understand how and why Russians, in fact, are if Finno-Ugric descent and are NOT Slavic decent /ppl. like Ukrainians and Polish ppl are, we first have need to look at where the Finno-Ugric ppl. came from and what is a Finno-Ugric people and their background culture, ancestry, geneticists...
The Russian DNA is evidence that they (Russians are NOT white Europeans). Testes of today's Russian males DNA have shown that they, like their DNA brothers the Finnish people and share most of their chromosomes with the Chinese, and Mongolians (the Mongolian chromosomes ) just like the Finnish people do as well !!
According to a 2008 study, the mitochondrial lines of the Hungarians Finno-Ugric tribes are indistinct from that of neighboring Slavs like Polish and Ukrainians !!! A recent study has found that haplogroup NO of the Finno-Ugric peoples and their descendants probably spread to today's Russia from Northern China about 12,000–14,000 years ago.
Take a look at the facts about The exonym "Hungarian" comes from "Ugor".in 895 The Magyars/Hungarians belonged to the Onogur tribal alliance, and it is possible that they became its ethnic majority The Hungarian people refer to themselves by the demonym "Magyar" rather than "Hungarian". "Magyar" is Finno-Ugric from the Old Hungarian "mogyër". "Magyar" possibly derived from the name of the most prominent Hungarian tribe, the "Megyer". The tribal name "Megyer" became "Magyar" in reference to the Hungarian people as a whole
Anthropologically, the type of Magyars of the conquest phase shows similarity to that of the Andronovo people, in particular of the Sarmatian groups around the southern Urals. The Turanid (South-Siberian) and the Uralid types from the Europo-Mongoloids were dominant among the conquering Hungarians .. And this is the same as you will find in Russians finish today !!!
According to a 2008 study, the mitochondrial lines of the Hungarians are clearly indistinct from that of neighboring Slavs like Ukrainians and Polish people ..
The Hungarians like the Finish are of the same as Magyars what we today call Hungarian. (Magyar" is Finno-Ugric ) Four 10th century skeletons from well documented cemeteries in Hungary of ancient Magyar individuals were sampled. Two of the four males belonged to Y-DNA Haplogroup N confirming their Finno-Ugric origin that proves and supports the historical clams that todays Finish and Hungarians come from Turanid (South-Siberian) and lived around what we today call norther and eastern part of Russia ..
The Finno-Ugric peoples are any of several peoples of Eurasia who speak languages of the Finno-Ugric group Karelians, Finns, Udmurts and Komis. The traditional area of the indigenous Sami people is in Northern Finland and the Kola Peninsula in Northwest Russia and is known as Sápmi. Some other Finno-Ugric peoples have autonomous republics in Russia: Karelians (Republic of Karelia), Komi (Komi Republic), Udmurts (Udmurt Republic), Mari (Mari El Republic), and Mordvins (Moksha and Erzya; Republic of Mordovia).
German anthropologist J. F. Blumenbach compared Finnish, Sami (the Arctic reindeer herders) and Mongolian skulls and concluded that the Finns were ‘mongoloid’ and not ‘white’ like the Swedes or Finland’s Swedish-speaking aristocracy. This was widely accepted and led to the Turanian theory – that both the Finns and Sami had originally come from the East – as well as strengthening the view, according to Finland-Swede sociologist Nina af Enehjelm, that Finns were somehow ‘other’..
He found that Sami, Estonian, Hungarian were from the same family but so were a series of languages across Siberia such as Komi and Mari. And even languages like Mongolian seemed to have a similar grammatical structure. This led to the ‘Migration Theory,’ the Finno-Ugric peoples arrived in Europe from Mongolia around three thousand years ago and finally got to what to day is Finland and northern part of Russia. The more recent discovery of genetics has added further evidence to the ‘Mongol’ claim. Geneticist Richard Kittles found in 1998 that Finns have ‘Dual Origins’ between Finno-Ugric and Mongoloid as measured by their ‘Y Chromosome Haplotype Variation.’ Other geneticists estimated that Finno-Ugric have between 10 percent and a quarter mongoloid genes..
And in 2003, Slovenian geneticist Andrej Marusic observed that the Finnish and Russian propensity to alcoholism could be explained by the Mongolian ADH22 gene ‘which is common in Eastern peoples but almost unheard of Europe.’
Vladimir Lenin may have had Mordvin ancestry. There is a belief that President Vladimir Putin of Russia is potentially of Finno-Ugric Vepsian ancestry..
failures by Russians to never real get out it backward ways I think you can assigned to being "too Finish Urgic Mogoliish “ - meaning, primitive, backwards, culturally un-European.
When Russians attempt to define their own race and assert that they are European it just comes over as false, and as fare as todays scientific research goes, we can now conclude with certainty, Russian are not white europeans it is a myth !!!
Russians try too claim they are something they are not i!! Russians are NOT Western European (Russians have claim to be for a long time it goes back to Peter the great wish to be a European nation ) but it is nothing but a myth a type of fake nationalistic, myopic, backwardness , and unaccepting of objective truth that Russians are in-fact nothing more than dissidents of Finno-Ugric tribes that assimilated with Mongolians back when the land of Moskal ( northern Russia ) was annexes by the Mongolians and made it a part of the Golden Horde…
(unlike the Real slavic people the Ukrainians and polish people that never assimilated with Mongolian occupiers )
The Russian DNA is evidence that they are not white europeans. Testes of todays Russian males DNA have shows that they, like their ethnic brothers the Finnish people, share most of their chromosomes with the Chinese, and Mongolians (the Mongolian chromosomes ) just like the Finnish people do as well !! This has proven without a doubt that Russian are not European as they share their DNA with the Mongolians and the study also shows that no other Europeans (with the exception of Finno-Ugric people) share those same chromosome structor with the Mongolians like Russians do !! ..And why is this you ask ..
Answer… because Russians are Finno-Ugric people that assimilated with Mongolians and NOT white Europeans like Slavic or Germanic people are..
Why is it so vitally important to find this proof you ask ?
Answer… It shows a systematic falsification by Russia that started with Peter to falsify its history and links to Europe so Moscow can put down claim to the Kievan Russia history , cultural and lands !!
What conclusion can we take out of all this data ??
1. Russians are NOT slavic it is a myth !!
2. Russians are closer genetically linked to Finno-Ugric and Mongolians
3. Slavic people like polish and Ukrainians are not genetically linked to Finno-Ugric and Mongolians..
4. Russians need to reevaluate their own history and except the facts that they are nothing genetically to do with slavic peoples heritage and therefor have no calm to slavic lands !!

THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.
Summary: former states of the USSRs are now full independent states and their borders are defined and recognized by not just the international community , the UN and intr. org. treaties and agreements but when it comes to UKRAINE Russia itself RECOGNIZED Ukraines borders and territory in the 1991 ( Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords ) and in 1994 with the Budapest Memorandum and Russian back in 1991 recognized all the other internal borders of the USSR as international boards that now defines all the other different countries sovereign statehood . Those borders Russia recognized when it came to Ukraine clearly puts Crimea within Ukrainian territorial control . Period.

For sure Russia is behind this as well , stoking up and moving around up shit so stink come up .. just like Russia did in middle east with Hamas and Israel Russia is crating conflict as much as it can anywhere it has some influence to deflect media from what Kremlin is doing inside Ukraine !!!!
Ask yourself HOW IS IT POSSIBLE how did HAMAS almost over night get those resources and who benefits from all this uproar and destabilization in the middle east WHO ???
NOT ISRAEL NOT IRAN NOT AFGHANISTAN NOT SYRIA NOT THE EU NOT USA NOT UK NOT CHINA NOT EVEN PALESTINE INFACT NO COUNTRY BENEFITS FROM THIS, WITH THE ONE EXCEPTION THERE IS ONE COUNTRY THAT DOES BENEFITS AND ITS RUSSIA; YES RUSSIA BENEFITS FROM THIS AND THEY REALLY BENEFIT FORM IT BIG TIME !!
RuZZia gets to have western media look another way form what RuZZia is doing inside Ukraine!!!!! Russia gets to defect the world's attention away from the war crimes, genocide , the 10s of thousands of Ukrainian children Russian army has kidnapped in Ukraine !!!
Russia gets the world media to look another way when it comes to the fact the Putin is a wanted man that the ICC International criminal court in The Hague as issued an arrest warrant ,for war crimes and crimes against humanity including but not limited to genocide and for kidnapping of Ukrainian children and forcibly deporting them to Russia !!
Also Russia gets to make US , EU ect ect divert resources and weapons from UKRAINE to Israel; divert military intelligence resources , divert aid ect ect ect ect away from UKRAINE !!!
SO ALL YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS IS WHO BENEFITS AND HOW THEY BENEFIT !! AND YES RUSSIAN AND ONLY RUSSIA BENEFITS HERE BIG TIME !!
What Russia Hopes to Gain From the Israel-Hamas Conflict and now the Iran Lebanon israeli conflict is defalcation away from them !!!
Even so, it came as a shock to many in Israel to see a group of high-ranking Hamas members meeting with a senior Russian official on Oct. 26. The Israeli Foreign Ministry slammed the decision to invite Hamas members to Moscow as “an act in support of terrorism” and called for Russia to expel the Hamas delegation.
In the wake of the meetings, Hamas has announced that it is looking for eight hostages in Gaza that Russia has asked to be released, “because we look at Russia as our closest friend,” Hamas Politburo member Abu Marzouk said on Oct. 28.
Palestinian militants have reportedly gotten around Western sanctions by funneling millions through Russian cryptocurrency exchanges.
Russia has notably not condemned Hamas’s attacks on Oct. 7 as terrorism. Instead, Russian officials have called for both sides to put down arms and reaffirmed its support for a Palestinian state. At the United Nations Security Council, a Russian resolution that called for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages was voted down as it failed to condemn Hamas.
Mossad has come out and said there is now evidence that Russians supplied the Palestinian militant group Hamas with western infantry armaments that they seized in Ukraine, . There is evidence that Russia was involved in instigating Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks and supplied weapons used.
In speeches and public appearances, Russian officials have repeatedly criticized Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Oct. 28 that Israel’s bombardment of Gaza is against international law. Putin compared Israel’s blockade of Gaza to Nazi Germany’s siege of Leningrad during World War II, one of the most traumatic events in Russian history during which hundreds of thousands of Russian civilians died.
Others in Russia have gone further, arguing that it is time for Russia to reassess its relationship with Israel. “Whose ally is Israel? The United States of America,” Andrei Gurulev, State Duma deputy and member of its Defense Committee, wrote on Telegram. “Whose ally is Iran and its surrounding Muslim world? Ours.”
And now that the Serbs (baked up by russia ) is seeing how weak the west is responding to Russia regarding Ukraine so now they see there chance to continue with their idea of greater Serbia !!
If the west does not stand up for Ukraine all the other dictators and Pariah states will see that the west and the US has gone soft and try and pull a Putin tick themselves !! China will see an opportunity to take Taiwan (no more silicon chips for you , Iran will see its time as good to take Israel (and them the middle east will be up in flames ) North Korea will most likely together with China role into South Korea and that's just for starters SO TAKING A STAND AND STOPPING PUTIN IS VITAL !!
We see how the same tactics get used over and over !!
In 1938 Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia and the western response was weak the UK just like France now is doing with Russia over Ukraine , and what happened in 1939 Germany invaded Poland and 1939 and started ww2
Also in 1939, the Russia attacked Finland, seized part of its territory, proclaimed the puppet state of the Finnish Democratic Republic on this territory basically a Russian puppet state .
In 2014, Russia attacked Ukraine annexing the Crimean peninsula and seizing part of the territory of Donbass in eastern Ukraine. In the occupied territories of the Donbass, people's republics were proclaimed the same as in the occupied territory of Finland in 1939

The Black Sea countries are many!! And Then Black Sea does not belong to Russia that’s a myth !!
Bulgaria, (NATO )
Romania (NATO)
Turkey (NATO)
Ukraine (NATO partner )
Georgia (NATO partner)
So in-fact ANY NATO country members navy and or air force is within their full right to sail and be within the Black Sea, as non of the Black Sea Nations (That have a real and legal int. recognized cost-line not like Russia ) have any problem with NATO ships being in their waters and even the non NATO members like Ukraine and Georgia, even more so then the NATO nations, want and are begging for more NATO ships to come and be in the BLACK SEA !
(NATO nations of the black sea are in-fact real black sea nations not like Russia stealing land then claiming to be the owner of that land and sea )
Coastline length to the black see by country/ Country Coastline length (km)
Turkey 1,329km (NATO)
Ukraine 2,782km (NATO partner )
Bulgaria 354km (NATO)
Georgia 310km (NATO partner )
Romania 225km (NATO)
And her is a thought .. if every neighbor you have is running to begging NATO to let them join NATO is it becouse you are such a nice and good neighbor?
Or is it because you act like a bully and are aggressive and invade your neighbor lands sending in troops and tanks
Hungary 1956,
Czechoslovakia 1968,
Poland 1980
Moldova 1990-91,
Georgia 2008,
Ukraine 2014 ++ and now all of Ukraine 2022+++
Russia eat eat eats and blame's its victims for eating them ...
Maybe if you act in a more nicer way, then your neighbors will liked you more and maybe your neighbors in your neighborhood will want to be around you as well ..

NATO is a "threat" to Russia in the sense that a cop on the beat is a "threat" to a mugger. NATO wouldn't have been formed in the first place if Stalin had not rejected the US offer of the same Marshall Plan which so benefited the rest of Europe everywhere it was instituted, Stalin was instead bent every effort to CONQUER and dominate European neighboring states and expand Russia, borders with its concept of "sphere of influence " over the near abroad..
We need to understand that Russia didn't come to encompass 11% of earth's land area, by being invaded by other countries; Russia did so by invading far more other countries, than it was itself invaded by ; Remember Russia is a Federation of states , and the Russian part of that federation is the smallest state in the "Russian federation.".
(Russia with a total area of 17,098,242 Km² (6,601,665 mi²) and a land area of 16,376,870 Km² (6,323,142 mi²), equivalent to 11% of the total world's landmass )
In history MANY and ALL countries have been invaded frequently by their neighbors throughout all of history. Was Russia invaded more than France? Germany? Poland in HISTORY ? NO IT WAS NOT !!!
So this acting the victim, when it comes to the west, that Kremlin does all the time, .. This buhhh the evil-west AGGRESSIVE west always invades us always is attacking us Buhhhh; This is why we see western NATO as a danger buhhhh !!!! THIS TYPE OF ACTING THE VICTEM is absolute and nothing more and less than Kremlin BS is is done so you overlook the facts and to pull the smoke over your eyes !!! ..
Do i need to mention all of eastern Europe was under brutal Russian regime, hegemonic control for over 40 years .. ?? And that historical Russia has invaded and occupied way more of its neighbors then vice versa !

US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , because Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!
And here we can clearly see what such guarantees with the west is worth, it has been 8 years now since Russia invaded Ukraine in the east of the country and annexed parts of Ukraine in Crimea AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED so now Russia is going all inn and taking everything THE CAN!!
That is the result of worthless grantees !!
And here's something the WEST is clearly overlooking ; Taiwan , Israel and everyone else is also asking the question; CAN I TRUST THE US. TO HOLD TO THEIR WORD AND STAND BY THE GUARANTEES THEY GIVE ! and not just Taiwan and Israel, is right now asking themselves those questions, but even small eastern European NATO member states that border Russia, will be asking themselves those questions as well !!
IT'S ABOUT TRUST YOU LOSE TRUST YOU LOSE EVERYTHING!!

A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is almost 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukraine Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries were nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..
Also these people who advocate this view that Ukraine shroud just give up land and appeasement to Russians wants wishes are also being very ignorant to the fact that there were already treaties in place between Russia and Ukraine where Russia respecting the integrity of Ukraine's borders plus other treaties relating to the seas around Ukraine.
Putin has already broken those treaties.
Why would Ukraine believe Putin would stick to a new treaty when he's just broken half a dozen of the previous Russia Ukraine treaties and agreements.
Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.

What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is almost 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!

---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed

Look at some facts about Russia and Russians !!
Ukraine only 17,3% ethnic Russian
Latvia only 26% ethnic Russian
Lithuania only 2,5% ethnic Russian
Estonia only 25,2 % ethnic Russian
Moldova only 5.8% ethnic Russian
Georgia only 1,5 % ethnic Russian
The % is not big in most of the nation's above but when it comes to how much this Russian scum demand of influence and how much they are screaming if you did not know the facts you will think they are almost the majority of the populations.
Take Lithuania as an good exs. in that country ethnic RuSSians are ONLY 2,5% that represents ONLY 50,460 people that are ethnic Russians and Russians are NOT the biggest ethnic group in-fact after Lithuanians it is Jews that take 2nd place as the biggest ethnic group in Lithuania with 7,6% of the population that represents 153,743 that is 3 times bigger than Russians and we don’t see the jews shouting out that their language (Hebrew) must have a special status in education, schools and that gov. documents must be written in Hebrew and TV and Radio must also be in Hebrew, street signs must be written Hebrew and that Hebrew must have special protected statues rights within Lithuania like
Russians are shouting about that they demand and want in Lithuania for their Russian language now do we …??
NO WE DONT !! becouse the Jewish population in Lithuania understand and respect that Lithuanians are the rightful owners and ppl. of Lithuania and they respect that fact..
SO THE QUESTION must be: Why is there always a problem with ethnic Russians all the time and why do they think they can demand special status for themselves and special status for Russian language who do they think they are ???

@genes.3285 It might be useful to recap some of the reason why Russia is now an outcast :
Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade; Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU;
Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries;
Provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace;
Russia's interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia;
Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers;
Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory;
Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region;
Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation";
Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict;
Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people;
Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006;
Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018;
among lots of other things to much to even list up ..
NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.

Putin did not begin the undercover proxy-war in 2014 so that it would end in peace, independency and prosperity for Ukraine and its people. and he did not start a all out war in 2022 for the independency and prosperity for Ukraine and its people
This war does not hinder Putin, it facilitates his goals instead.
Putin started it so it would end with the defeat of Ukraine and the Ukrainian peoples/ nations aspirations of true self-government true independence and democratic nation, that was fare away from the hegemony control and orbit of Russia … IN OTHER words with our collapse of Ukrainian society.
It helps him keep Ukraine on the Kremlin hook and hegemony control and helps Putin feel himself as an influential leader negotiating with the West. So, why would he need peace?
And before someone starts up about Russia right to protect itself from the "western incursion and decadent western incorrectness of political arrogance" (whatever that means ) and therefor Russian needs a "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine "
Let me ask you this ; Who gives Putin the right to have "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine " we live in 2022 not 1822 ??? What about the people who live in "that so called sphere of interest" that is the sovereign country of Ukraine don't they (the Ukrainian ppl.) have an " sphere of interest in Ukraine itself " ?
Shall the Ukrainians just bend their knee and behave as slaves, and become some sort of quasi 2nd class nation/ country, and have their society run under the heal and accept being kicked by Kremlin's boot of the " sphere of Russian interest " ; Should Ukraine just roll over and let Russia controlled Ukraine for the sole benefit of Putins klan agenda and the geo political intrs. of the Moscow Kremlin kleptocracy elites?: And let Ukraine become some sort of quasi geographical entity for political advantages of the Kremlin ? Or should Ukraine stand up and fight against such tyrannical thing as PUTINS "sphere of interest" as the independent European self governing state it is FIGHT for freedom, sovereignty and self-rule ??
FACT !!! Ukraine was forced into this war by Russia not Russia by Ukraine (or anyone else ) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has no choice he needs to now be the president of a country, that is in a war defending its country and ppl. against a brutal evilaggressor. And the authorities of the aggressor country do not want any peace.
(If the Russia army stops fighting today and goes home back to Russia tomorrow there will be NO war If Ukraine stops fighting today there will be NO Ukraine !! )
But like I say if Russia has no intrs. and they feel Russia society values and norms living is so much better than the despicable arrogant western world, just stay in Russia stop living inside the west stop buying houses , stop sending your kids to western schools for a western education and stop taken holidays in the western world and stop using western products and technology no prob you do you !! ; you go be Russia no one is stopping you !!
Why not try and stop emulating the west will at the same time rejecting the west and then on top of it claiming to be its equal .. here is a thought if you are the emulating the west you are a copy and a copy is just hard core evidence that the original is the better !!
If your Russki Mir (Russian World ideology /society ) was better then the western world; why do you not 100% just stick to being Russian why are you emulating everything that is western !!
The answer is clear becouse its better then your Russki Mir !!
Ukraine, Georgia , Moldova the Baltic's and the rest of Eastern Europe don't want your Russian world (KGB Putin Stalinism strong man BS ) they want western democracy freedom and choice so let them make their own future there own mistakes and there own success those ppl. countries and nations don't want your Moscow /Kremlin HEGEMONY called Russki Mir or your so called Russian greatness of special rights of so called 3rd Rome !!
Let's take a look at Ukraine and the same goes for Georgia and other countries that Moscow wants to bully and kick around !!
Ukraine is a sovereign nation with rights and should be free to govern itself. Russia as a political entity has never had the best interest of the Ukraine and its people at heart. The Ukrainians have a distinct and rich culture, their own language, and a desire for self-rule, liberty and freedom to make decisions of its own.
Russia wants to control Ukraine so it can obtain its resources for its own benefit (as has happened throughout history). Ukraine in its east and south has in-fact the 3rd biggest oil and gas reservers in Europe and should those resources start getting taped and sold to the west then Russia has a massive competitor on its hands for the European market !! You don't believe me google Ukraine shield gas reserves !!
Russian control has never been for the benefit of the Ukrainian people. BUT HERE"S THE REAL POINT: even if it had been, Ukraine is still a sovereign nation and has the right to rule itself!!!
The Russian state has sought to control Ukraine and to deceive the rest of the world into believing that there is no Ukrainian culture or language, and that Ukraine is simply a dissident Russian state through use of propaganda and oppression has repeatedly attempted to wipe out the Ukrainian people and culture.
Do I need to mention the millions of Ukrainians killed by the Russian government? The fear and repression of Ukraine under Russian rule? The families lost behind the "Iron Curtain?"
The Holodomor genocide when Russia killed 10 mill Ukrainians in 1933 - 1934 and after that replaced then with ethnic Russians manly in the east of Ukraine (todays Donbas ) for crying out loud?
And that is why after 1991 the Ukrainians rally around their rich and beautiful culture - because it is THEIRS. And because they deserve a voice of their own, and to live free from the oppression of of foreign state that seeks to exploit and obliterate them!
Russian controlled soviet union former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect ...couldn't wait to join NATO and the EU to get as fare away from Russian hegemony control as fast as the possibly can at the time .
If the Russians weren't suchaaaaholes, they wouldn't have to worry about EU NATO and former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect running too the front door of EU and NATO .
(PS : yes i agree not all is perfect in the west but is why better and has always been why better than anything Russia has come up with in history ; And that is why ppl from all over the world (including Russians ) move to Europe ,UK and US in the millions !! ; For all its faults that the western world has and it has a few, it still is 10000 times better than Russia , Africa or china !!! I mean no one is building a wall to hold ppl. inside like Russian controlled Soviet Union did the US is in fact building walls to stop ppl. for coming inn and so dose European countries as well )

Putin will NOT use Nuclear weapons if he or when he invades Ukraine !!!
AND HERE IS WHY !!
1. If he did use Nuclear weapons then he will be not just nuking Ukraine but the fallout will hit Europe and the Baltic ’s the blast and fallout will also hit East Ukraine, Crimea, Poland Belorussia, and parts of Russia as well ect..
2. If he bombed Ukraine Putin will get the orthodox church against him for taking out Pecerska Lavra and make the Lavra into a nuclear wasteland for 1000 years the center of orthodox faith in the world and the far right orthodox is Putin's power base at home losing the orthodox church will be political suicide for Putin,,
3. How will it look like if he bombed Ukraine and the fallout of the blast will rain down onto Russians in Europe and in Ukraine millions of Russians live in the EU and Ukraine now and all of the Russian elite children in schools in western Europe, even Putin's own daughter and ex-wife live in Holland..
It is not like back in the day of the USSR when almost no Russian was living in Europe, and in the Baltic’s 20% are ethnic Russians in Ukraine, 17,6 % are ethnic Russians.. How can he claim to be defending Russians abroad if he is nuking them ??
4.If he did this than any friends he has in the international community will run for cover and distance themselves from him and RuSSia in every way they can, they will admit openly that Putin is a mad man, that needs to be taken out asap..even his good old buddy in Syria Assad and his good buddy in Minsk Mr Lukanhesko will not return his phone calls and run for cover.
5. Russia will become an international outcast and pariah state and diplomatic relations with the rest of the world will be over even including China, Venezuela, North Korea, Iran, and every other nut job country will cut off diplomatic relations with Russia !!..
6.USA and NATO and its allies and even most likely even Japan (and probably even China) will respond with an all-out attack on Russia and Putin and Moscow will only be left in history books just like the soviet union is now ...
7.Putin like Hitler and Stalin is a very smart calculated psychopath he is not crazy or insane and does not have a political death wish or any other type of death wish for that matter, he pushes as far as he feels he can and then backs down if he feels he gets pushed back, and if he doesn't get pushed back he continues until he does.

IT WAS NOT ETHNIC RUSSIAN THAT DIED FIGHTING THE NAZIS it was Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia and the other nations that was forced into the USSR and put in the front lines as cannon fodder the ethnic Russians was the NKVD cowards shooting everyone else in the backs the ethnic Russians was in the NKVD and was officers and in supply units behind the lines not getting used a cannon fodder !!
Also let us not forget the fact the it was the Stalin and RuSSia that made it possible for Hitler to build up his nazi army by giving him iron-ore and other need goods from 1939-1941 the soviet union was the strongest and most important partner of nazi Germany ..
It was only after June 1941 when Hitler turned on his good buddy Stalin and attacked the USSR that Stalin came running to the west for help and the west said yes ok we will let you fight with us they did this well knowing that Stalin helped Hitler build his army and also because the west was thinking in terms like my enemy's enemy is my friend policy and tactic
Russians living in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. I really think that the Russians aren’t the ones to lecture ANYONE about fascism, or anything else for that matter, especially since RuSSians was the ones that signed the pact with the-devil [nazigermany] and started World War II… and even today RuSSia are still glorifying Stalin... Hitlers good buddy in 1937-1941 Hitler and Stalin started ww2 together when they invaded Poland together.
The RuZZians were the cowards who shot their own troops in the backs to press other forward infront like a human shields and canon-fodder.
YES they did shoot their own troops in the backs But they did NOT shoot ethnic Russians in the backs as most of that scum was officers and in logistics and the NKVD doing the shooting...
The ethnic Russian scum was the pathetic scummy cowards that was shooting other Soviets in the back.....
And why did this happen you ask !
Answer : Becouse Stalin did not trust Ukrainians (and other none ethnic Russians )(remember he had only 8 years before Stalin had killed 10 mill Ukrainians in a genocide called the holodomor )
So what did Stalin do before ww2 he made a purge and killed all officers of non ethnic Russians decent in the Army and replaced them with ethnic Russians and made all others that was not ethnic Russians in low level positions in other worlds as cannon fodder for the german artillery and targets for german bullets... this was the Ukrainians, Belorussians , Uzbeks , Moldovan’s ect ect ect .. this is who was fighting and geting killed this is who was fighting the-nazi-not ethnic Russians they was in the safe jobs like NKVD ect ect ect ... back in the reserve army and as administrators ect ect..
Why do you think the Kremlin always say Russians died and not soviets died ?????
They do this to cover up this facts I have stated above and for Russia to take the honor from the people who really did the fighting..Russians and Russia have no shame !!

Let’s look at Ukraine’s disgraced former President, (Putins boy) Mr . Victor Yanukovych . After he fled to Putin with billions of stolen money the Kremlin-backed politician and his cronies (made away with $40 billion in state Ukrainian assets disappear ) the idea that he remained the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state, and therefore the manner in which he was replaced was automatically illegitimate, was commonplace. This line of thinking was heavily promulgated by his new host country for reasons that are self-evident. But was it right, or even logical, to claim this?
The legitimacy of the Yanukovych regime indeed began with a somewhat fair election, albeit an election in which the Ukrainian people had no good other choices at the time
(NOTE : Yanukovych was backed up by Moscow controlled media and corrupted elites that have dealings with the Kremlin and media inside Ukraine) .
But could that legitimacy go on unquestioned despite the blatant grand scale theft of state resources? No. Of course it could not.
Common hooligans and thugs were brought to Kyiv by the Yanukovych authorities to beat down on the students protesting Yanukovych authorities corruption (first recorded on Nov. 29, 2013when the protested was just a few days old) Yanukovych thugs mission was to terrorize the residents of the capital and beat down the students protesting Yanukovych . This act was completely in contradiction to Article 3 of the constitution that Yanukovych was elected to uphold. It was more than right to question Yanukovych’s legitimacy after this and the Ukrainian people did just that after seeing young students getting beat up by Yanukovych imported thugs in the streets of Kyiv, this act of state terrors, enraged the people even more and other joined the students protesting Yanukovych , now demanding his removal of office.
Lets take a closer look into legitimacy of Yanukovych Presidency..
Can the legitimacy of a ruling authority survive past the blatantly illegal adoption of laws designed to end democracy and create a dictatorship? No. Of course it cannot. Yet, this is what the Yanukovych controlled Party of Regions attempted to do on Jan. 16, 2014. Later analysis of images taken in parliament that while 235 MPs were declared to have voted for these “dictatorship” laws, only about half of this number of MPs were actually in the session hall when the vote was taken (by a show of hands – also illegal.)
After such clearly anti-democratic and dishonest actions, can anyone consider that authority to be legitimate? The actions were a breach of Article 5 of Ukraine’s constitution – something that Yanukovych was under oath to protect and uphold. But he failed to keep his word.
There were more violations of the constitution by Yanukovych, its supposed protector.
Article 27 of Ukraine’s constitution says that “Every person shall have the inalienable right to life. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of life.” Yet Yuri Verbitsky, a 42 year old geologist from Lviv, was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by forces belonging to the Yanukovych regime between Jan. 22 and Jan. 25 of 2014.
That Yanukovych had already lost any legitimacy by this point should be beyond question. Later, of course, came the deaths of many more people on Jan. 18 and then Jan. 20, after which Yanukovych fled to Russia, insisting his authority and position were still legitimate. Define legitimate.
The idea that legitimacy carries on from appointment without further question is a complete fallacy. It is something that we should refuse to accept. An elected leader most certainly can lose their legitimacy through illegal and/or unconstitutional, actions. The most recent public attempt at increasing the fog blurring the distinction between legitimately elected and legitimate comes from Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Bottom line, they are not the same, although it is easy to see why Russia’s ruling clan would seek to pretend that they are.

Some important Voltaire Quotes we need to remember in out time ..
* Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. ...
* To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.
And what is the truth? let's look at some facts !
Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine ; And lets not forget that Russia is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources than the Taliban in Afghanistan !!
As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed

When ppl. like , Vivek Ramaswamy ,Tucker Carlson ; Dr. Steve Turley, Tulsi Gabbard, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz , Candace Owens , Charles J. Kirk and convicted sex offenders like Scott Ritter ect ect ... say things like "I have a hard time siding with Ukraine because the war loving Ukrainians only blocked pace talks and only want war ect ect ..."
Lets me answer you putinists this way !!
If an occupier (russia) committed had killed over six+ millions of your people in a genocidelholodomor (Russian genocide 1932-1933 ) and you was forcefully incorporated into a union (USSR) with Russia; where your more people was forced intoGulags (sovietconcentration camps) ; then you got freedom in 1991 wouldn't you also make sure that Russia never ever again got to rule over you and your country ???
But you your family and your country, probably does not have that type of history with Russia so you simply would not understand. Look at your question another way: suppose Germany suddenly invaded Israel. Do you think Israel would or should negotiate with Germany given to give up their land for peace give up their culture give up their identity and exchange it for Germany ruling over them once more !!
Philosopher George Santayana’s warning, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” is pertinent. We know that Putin is guided by an imperialist and fascist agenda, and by a desire to restore Soviet-era dominance over its neighbors. History has also shown us that, when a despot is willing to back his agenda with military force, the results are devasting if they are not confronted.
And make no mistake, supporting Ukraine is not only a matter of countering Vladimir Putin. It is just as much about sending a loud message to other autocratic leaders — particularly in Beijing and Tehran — that the United States will not stand by as democracy is actively threatened abroad.
About 40 years ago, former Republican president Ronald Reagan branded the Soviet Union an “evil empire,” and rallied the free world around bringing it down. We must not overlook the fact that the same corrupt, authoritarian and despotic values that characterized the Soviet Union in the Reagan era are embodied by Vladimir Putin.
Unfortunately, many on the political right seem to have forgotten history — or worse, are choosing to ignore it.
ALSO ON A SIDE NOTE : A small part of Ukraines land for pace you say its only a small bit of land ...the truth is that it is in fact 200000 sqkm That is the cobindsize of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and Greece..
For the United Kingdom that is the same as they give away all of Scotland , all of Wales and 80% of England !!
For the United states that is handing over South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey !!
You want Ukraine to let Putin have that land for what? SO PUTIN COME BACK LATER AND invaded some in some years time after he hasrebuilt back up the Russian army constructed into the ground now positions on the very land he got for this so called "pace " !!
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...

Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination like a type of 2nd class country; that is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country, that indirectly will serving the kremlins geopolitical agenda, and so Kremlin, the RuZZians and Putin can feel better about themselves ...
All the Eastern European countries has more or less joined NATO because they was scared of Russia and want make sure they will stay independent, (and the same goes for the EU financial independence ) Nobody forced Eastern European countries to join , NATO or the EU all of them came running and begging and knocking on the door of NATO and EU by themselves, asking and begging to be let into The EU and NATO !!
Russia invading Ukriane back 2014 and Georgia back in 2008 and now all out war with Ukraine from 2022++ just showed, why it was and still is a good idea for those Eastern European countries to join NATO, and the EU because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well .
During Soviet times those Eastern countries where nothing but quasi Russia puppet states and where totally exploited by Russia under under its heel and boot. If those eastern European countries didn't join NATO then they couldn't have guaranteed their own future continuous independence from Russia by themselves . Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure their independence !!!
The former satellite states like Poland,Romania,Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect was running to and knocking at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come inn and thats the truth !! . If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..
Moscow is ONLY 480 km to Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg and via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BSthere is 800 km from Kyiv to Moscow ..
On a side side note ; Election under a gun with tanks and thugs standing over the voting boxes is not an election it can not be a free and legal election...Referendums vía gun point isn't a referendum, it's racketeering. Something that Russia knows oh so very well how to do. YOU CAN VOTE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN It will never be legal as long as Russian army is there and as lone as it is an illegal gov. put there by an occupying force
It might be useful to recap some of the reason why Russia is now an outcast :
Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade; Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU;
Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries;
Provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace;
Russia's interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia;
Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers;
Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory;
Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region;
Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation";
Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict;
Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people;
Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006;
Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018;
among lots of other things to much to even list up ..
NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.

KARL MARX ....... "Russia, which has nothing to do with Kivan Russ, now called Russia, received, or rather stole its current name, at best in the 18th century, nevertheless - brazenly claims to the historical legacy of Kievan Russ, that was created eight hundred years earlier. Moscow history is the history of the Horde, sewn to the history of Russia with white threads and completely falsified. ”(Karl Marx, Exposing the Diplomatic History of the 18th Century) ..
HER YOU SAY MARX SAYS MOSCVOY (today's Russia) IS THE DECEDENTS OF MONGOLIANS AND THAT KYIV (today Ukraine ) IS THE DESCENDANTS OF SLAVIC KYIV RUSS.
" The bloody mire of Mongolian slavery, not the rude glory of the Norman epoch, forms the cradle of Muscovy, and modern Russia is but a metamorphosis of Muscovy..

Having a discussion with a feminist is like playing chess with a pigeon. They knock over all the pieces, shit on the board and then strut around like they’ve won and have no real idea about what they just did !!
No one has every in any culture in history ever told a woman YOU CAN NOT MAKE FOOD only a man is allowed to make food NO THAT HAS NEVER HAPPENED !!
And as I have stated before Women don't even win when it comes to making food !!!
In the art of cooking most if not all the top chefs in the world have been and still are all-male
SO HOW DOES YOUR theory that the women have been subdued in culture and therefore they have not had the same options as men stand up how does that theory stand up buddy ?? ..
Women have been working over the food in the kitchens and making food since ADAM and EVE and the fact still remains In the art of cooking most if not all the top chefs in the world and in history have been and still are all-male
Also let's not forget that the game of chess has been played by females as long as it has been by the males even Queen Elizabeth 1 favorite game was chess and still the fact remains in history, NO woman has ever been the world champion,..
And lets not forget the women all the way back to Queen Elizabeth 1 and long before that time and after Queen Elizabeth 1 HAVE BEEN playing games and sports such as tennis or bowls,ect ect and they would ride and hunt so the facts remains women would participate in all type of activities like sports, arts play musical instruments ect ect ect a woman has not been so limited to a point in the history of mankind that the female of the spices was not able to excel in something !! FOR THE LOVE OF GOD ANYTHING PLEACE ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR ACTING THE VICTIM THEY ARE WORLD CHAMPIONS IN THAT,
BUT THEY HAVE NOT EXCELLED not even in the art of cooking food have they excelled !!! AND THAT IS THE FACTS !!
The western feminist females have been supporting (for their own anti male agenda) for years this transgender and Lgbtq ++ movement!!! and females have been using the Lgbtq ++ movement as a sledgehammer to hammer down on masculinity and demonize the heterosexual males (and especially white heterosexual males) and they have been doing it for years pushing masculinity into the abyss!!!
But now those strong independent queens, those girl-bosses types of "I don't need a man" , Me woman strong hear my roar ! , Are getting all buhhhh cry baby about this situation, because their own Frankenstein monster is coming back full circle to eat its own promoters that are the female feminists , the Frankenstein monster are taking-over female sports outsmarting females in feminist sphere Their own Frankenstein creation they themselves promoted and helped bring forwarded has now turned on them.
But now monster they was gladly unleashing unto others have come come full circle , the rooster have come home to roost , and it’s bitting them in their own backside!!! And now they are SOooo upset why NO one is helping them fight this transgender Lgbtq ++ Frankenstein monster the monster they themselves helped to unleash on men !! ... (where are all the white knights in shining armor to defend my innocent maiden honor thy cry ?)
Well you made your bed now you sleep in it honey , after all you are a strong independent women you don't need a man , and anything a man can do a woman can do as good or even better at-least that what you have been saying all this time ..
So now you have the chance to prove it!!
You go girl !!!

Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!!
There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since Word War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would. And its because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. -- Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

NATO, Nazis, Satanists: Putin is running out of excuses for his imperial war !!
Why did Vladimir Putin invade Ukraine? The answer to this question really depends on when you’re asking. In the months leading up to the invasion, the Russian dictator focused his ire on NATO and sought to blame rising tensions around Ukraine on the military alliance’s post-Cold War expansion. As his troops crossed the border on February 24, Putin changed tack and declared a crusade against “Ukrainian Nazis.” More recently, he has sought to portray Ukraine as a “terrorist state” while insisting that Russia is in fact fighting against “Satanism.”
None of these arguments stands up to serious scrutiny. Instead, the various different narratives coming out of the Kremlin reflect Moscow’s increasingly desperate efforts to justify what is in reality an old-fashioned colonial war of imperial conquest.
Putin has long sought to use NATO expansion as an excuse for his own aggressive foreign policies. This plays well with the Russian public and also resonates among segments of the international community who believe the United States has become too dominant since the end of the Cold War. However, Putin’s attempts to position the invasion of Ukraine as a reasonable response to NATO encroachment have been comprehensively debunked by his own actions.
According to Reuters, Ukraine informed Russia during the first days of the invasion that it was ready to meet Moscow’s demands and rule out the possibility of future NATO membership, only for this offer to be rejected by Putin. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy went public in the following weeks with similar proposals to abandon Ukraine’s NATO ambitions, but Russia chose to continue its invasion.
The entire notion that Russia views NATO as a credible security threat was further undermined in summer 2022 when Moscow passively accepted neighboring Finland’s historic decision to join the military alliance. Putin has repeatedly cited Ukraine’s deepening NATO ties as justification for his invasion, but the prospect of imminent Finnish membership provoked no meaningful security response whatsoever from the Kremlin.
If Putin genuinely believed a NATO invasion of Russia was even a remote possibility, he would surely have reinforced the Finnish border. On the contrary, in the months following Helsinki’s decision to join the alliance, Russia dramatically reduced its military presence close to Finland and the nearby NATO member Baltic states in order to bolster the invasion of Ukraine. Whatever Putin may say in public, he clearly understands that NATO poses no threat to Russia.

The Russian have been unable to defeat both Afghanistan and now the Ukraine SO DOBBLE LOSE . How do you think they'd go taking on 27 at once like the EU
Russia has lost over 880000 troops and over half of its military hardware / equipment and have only 17% of Ukraine land mass so based on those fig Russia simply does not have enough troops and military hardware to take over Ukraine and it will cost even more to hold it !!
Between Assad losing Syria, NATO adding Finland and Sweden, Russia losing tens of thousands of soldiers to a war it wasn't prepared for and thousands of prime skilled workers to emigration, and Russian money is being poured into a fruitless slaughterfest of dead Russians; ending up as fertulrzer on the battlefield and feeding the crows and ravens in east Ukraine ...I don't know how anyone can say Russia is truly "winning" right now even if they do get some more land in Ukraine..
Yes Between Assad losing Syria, NATO adding Finland and Sweden, Russia losing tens of thousands of soldiers to a war it wasn't prepared for and thousands of prime skilled workers to emigration, and Russian money is being poured into a fruitless slaughterfest of dead Russians; ending up as fertulrzer on the battlefield and feeding the crows and ravens in east Ukraine ...I don't know how anyone can say Russia is truly "winning" right now even if they do get some more land in Ukraine..
Yes Russia is taking potato fields and a tiny worthless village in east Ukraine, yes if you can see this fruitless slaughterfest that is costing the lives of 1500++ Russian soldiers bleeding out and dying every a day as wining the war then yes you maybe right you got some potato fields and a tiny worthless village BRAVO !! (and then claiming some sort of victory is correct )
However in the meantime , Ukraine is targeting deep into Russian proper ; Ukraine is hitting every day Russian vital economic centers of the Russian economy ; Ukraine is flying its drones with impunity hitting Russias oil refinery, Russias gas and petroleum installations, Russia railways infrastructure, Russias military industrial complex, and Ukraine has been extremely effective with this type of attacks ; and Russias "air defense" attempts to stop Ukraine in attacking their infrastructure that is vital for the functioning of Russia society and its economy has proven impossible for Moscow ...
ON A SIDE NOTE : A FACT THAT GETS OVERLOOKED IS : Ukraine army and defense is much stronger better equipment and bigger (more trained active soldiers ) now (it has become bigger not smaller over time) its better organized and has more experience more weapons more diverse weaponry more high tech weaponry now than it was back in 2013 and even back in 2022 why stronger not weaker !!
Ukraine after 3 years of war has the strongest, most experienced and best equipped army in Europe. They have 800,000 battle experienced troops that are running rings around the Russian meat wave attacks. With support from other non-USA countries supplying the necessary equipment Ukraine can win the war against the invaders.
Unlike Russia it has become less equipped and has lower quality human resource
Maybe you can explain to me how a country that can not take east Ukraine for 2 years and lost its black sea navy to a country without a navy ; a country that needs to beg and kissassssss to North Korea for weapons to survive a country that can even defend its own territories in Kursk Oblast a county that is pushing in untrained men into combat because it has no more well trained soldiers left a county that is using Chinese electric golf-carts and Chinese mopeds to attack with because they so low on proper military equipment ! a country that now is so low on combat soldiers that its striping its Murmansk navy personal and forcing sailors to take up infantry fighting roles in a land army .. A country that os low of spare parts for its air force a country that has en economy that is so bad no international banks not even Chinese banks wants to touch them !!!
NOTE : Also Putin is scraping the bottom of the bucket recruiting from African countries and china and North Korea ; Putin is begging North Korea for help and Venezuela for help ALSO LETS NOT FORGET Ukraine has pushed the Russian Army all the why over the river in the south and even made a foothold on the east side of the river !! Ukraine has liberated more territory since the full scale invasion over 2 years ago than Russia has taken (is the outskirts of KYIV under Russian control like it was 2 years ago ?)
Putin is losing 1200 soldiers a DAY if you haven't even taken all cities and villages in the Donbas how can you claim to be a victor hahaahaha
HOW IS THAT COUNTRY (RUSSIA ) GOING TO WIN !!
Maybe if you explain it, I can understand how.
I SAY Russia has humiliated themselves right from the start of this stupidity all the way back in 2014 and Kremlin and Putin has continuously humiliated himself and Russia ever since.
The fact the Kremlin remain in this war, even when they know they cant win, and are willing to destroy themselves just proves how totally clueless they are....adding to their humiliation so Russia is already humiliated and broken .
FACT Russia is already in a worse place than they were before invading their small neighbor, and Russia did this to themselves, the result of their stupidity is that now they have more NATO borders after Finland and Sweden moved towards joining NATO , Putin and Russia is now laughingstock of a military world , and most of their biggest customers of oil and gas are canceling their orders.
I will be amazed if Russia hasn't broken up into smaller states within the next decade or so, this is real end of nations stuff that Putins ego and vanity so-stupidly has thrown Russia into; time will show this as complete idiocy from Putin.
I serious cannot envision Russia humiliating itself any more than it has already done , but that said , Putins ego is a massive chunk of half-witted, simple, ill-considered , unwise shortsighted buffoonery and NOT the wise geo-political chess player some include Putins own ego likes to say and Putin likes to think he is ..
I mean look at Putins strategies so far: recruiting two new Nato members, selling oil at a discount to 3 world countries and giving free tanks and equipment to Ukrainian army because of those tanks running out of fuel and ammunition. YES THE Master strategist Putin. Who’s lost much more than 30% of his armor, who sacrificed innumerable Russian lives in a failed attempt to take Kyiv and Snake Island, who pushed Finland and Sweden into joining NATO, who sunk the flagship of his Navy… yesssss all going according to plan.HAHA !!
TO SUM UP : NATO never had to defend against superior forces I think it is rich for NATO trying to tell Ukraine how to fight a war against Russia, when Ukraine has just a bit more experience actually fighting Russia.Ukrainians should be training British Troops on the latest techniques of war. NATO now actually needs Ukraine to join NATO because no other NATO army knows how to fight with drones. NATO military doctrines are out of date. I fear that increased military spending will be billions on a useless aircraft carrier rather than making millions of FPV assault drones NATO needs Ukraine to show them how to fight a high tech drone war of 2025 +++

NO SHOULD NEVER BE ANY CEASEFIRE WITH RUSSIA NOT BEFORE EVERY RUSSIAN CIVILIAN AND MILITARY IS REMOVED
FROM UKRAINE ..
A little bit of land they say WE ARE taking about a land mass is almost 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed

The Black Sea countries are many!! And Then Black Sea does not belong to Russia that’s a myth !!
Bulgaria, (NATO )
Romania (NATO)
Turkey (NATO)
Ukraine (NATO partner )
Georgia (NATO partner)
So in-fact ANY NATO country members navy and or air force is within their full right to sail and be within the Black Sea, as non of the Black Sea Nations (That have a real and legal int. recognized cost-line not like Russia ) have any problem with NATO ships being in their waters and even the non NATO members like Ukraine and Georgia, even more so then the NATO nations, want and are begging for more NATO ships to come and be in the BLACK SEA !
(NATO nations of the black sea are in-fact real black sea nations not like Russia stealing land then claiming to be the owner of that land and sea )
Coastline length to the black see by country/ Country Coastline length (km)
Turkey 1,329km (NATO)
Ukraine 2,782km (NATO partner )
Bulgaria 354km (NATO)
Georgia 310km (NATO partner )
Romania 225km (NATO)
AND ON A SIDE NOTE : The western NATO-alliance is already 500 km from Moscow via Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BS there is 800 km from Kyiv to Moscow ..
(And lets not forget the last time when "Russia" got closer to NATO it was in-fact Russia own doing, by invading and annexing Crimea in 2014 "Russia" came right up-to and ended inside the NATO countries BLACK SEA maritime territorial waters !!)
And her is a thought .. If every neighbor you have is running to NATO begging NATO to let them join; is it becouse you are such a nice and good neighbor?
Or is it because you act like a bully and are aggressive and invade your neighbors lands sending in troops and tanks Hungary 1956, Czechoslovakia 1968, Poland 1980 Moldova 1990-91, Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014 ++ and now Kazakhstan 2022+++ and Ukraine 2022 (soon to come ) ??
Russia eats eats eats its victims and then blame the victims for eating them !!...
Maybe if you act in a more nicer way, then your neighbors will liked you more and maybe your neighbors in your neighborhood will want to be around you as well ..

1.Ukraine should NOT give up territory, appeasement never works good eks. Neville Chamberlain and Hitler with the Munich Agreement land for peace , an absolute disgrace)
2. disarmed Russia disarm them to the level of some south Pacific island and give Ukriane all of Russians weapons and nukes
3. When they have lost NO restructuration should be done let them rot and its ppl suffer in their beloved Russik Mir they made their own bed let them sleep in it !!)
4. Russian should be forced to understand that all of their history is fake based own a myth connecting them to Kyiv Russ; and their historical connection to Ukriane capital Kyiv is a massive falsification of history made up by Catherine the grate (she was german not Russian by the way ) !! Russian are not even slavic they are descendants of Finnic nomadic tribes that assimilated with Mongolians back in the day Mongolians build Moscow as a trading post in 1200s and that is the origins of Moskovia )
6. We should NOT let them be able to re build there socially structors or military to western or even North Korea standards they should be frozen isolated and blacked from taking part in any intr, cooperation civilian, economical, political , educational , financial, trade , transport , and travel .. Should be locked down uncompromised isolated, harder than North Korea locked down its on ppl . totally frozen so it never ever raise up and can threaten anyone ever again----)

THE MYTH OF RUSSIA IS A SUPERPOWER ON THE WORLD STAGE DEBUNKED !
For centuries, Russia has seen itself as one of the world's great powers.
This superpower Russia status idea myth, seen by most of the world is now become a declining idea and the world is now seeing that Russia is not and has never been any super power; More and more ppl. now understand that Russia has only been masquerading as a "SUPER POWER " the Kremlin has been presenting itself as one and hiding behind the Myth of super power status; And even for some time the kremlin themself (one can argue) started to believe in their own lies, their own myth making and their own propaganda !
BUT AFTER UKRIANE THIS MYTH IS BUSTED !!
Russia: has only $1.48 trillion annual GDP that makes Russia about the same size economically on the level of Spain if your economy is as small as Spain how can you think even for one min you are some sort of super power, that has some spacial right to be seen on the same level as UK, US , or even China ???
Let's look at some fact here: Russia is closer to Indonesia and Australia economically, than it is UK , Germany , France US or Japan .. !!
And when it comes to having nukes dose that make you a super power, well UK and France has nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) as well and so does North Korea and even israel is claimed to have nuclear weapons, is North Korea or UK and France Super powers becouse they have nuclear weapons ???

THE MYTH OF RUSSIA IS A SUPERPOWER ON THE WORLD STAGE DEBUNKED !
For centuries, Russia has seen itself as one of the world's great powers.
This superpower Russia status idea myth, seen by most of the world is now become a declining idea and the world is now seeing that Russia is not and has never been any super power; More and more ppl. now understand that Russia has only been masquerading as a "SUPER POWER " the Kremlin has been presenting itself as one and hiding behind the Myth of super power status; And even for some time the kremlin themself (one can argue) started to believe in their own lies, their own myth making and their own propaganda !
BUT AFTER UKRIANE THIS MYTH IS BUSTED !!
Russia: has only $1.48 trillion annual GDP that makes Russia about the same size economically on the level of Spain if your economy is as small as Spain how can you think even for one min you are some sort of super power, that has some spacial right to be seen on the same level as UK, US , or even China ???
Let's look at some fact here: Russia is closer to Indonesia and Australia economically, than it is UK , Germany , France US or Japan .. !!
And when it comes to having nukes dose that make you a super power, well UK and France has nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) as well and so does North Korea and even israel is claimed to have nuclear weapons, is North Korea or UK and France Super powers becouse they have nuclear weapons ???

Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!!
There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since Word War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would. And it’s because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. -- Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

THE AID TO UKRAINE IS NOT REALLY FREE MONEY .. Its more like buying yourself a new cell phone and giving the old away to your kid, and claiming you gave your kid pounds 2,000 (the price of the new phone) because he now has your old cell phone and you have the new one !!!
NOW LET ME EXPLAIN
The aid is not pallets of cash. It’s in the form of military equipment, assigned a value, that is donated,”. “That equipment is usually older and would be replaced in the next few years anyway, at a cost. I’m sure she doesn’t understand this.”
Still, the largest bucket of overall aid committed to Ukraine — more than is military support in the form of equipment NOT cash !!
The military equipment has been pulled directly from existing military old SURPLUS inventory that has a shelf date that soon will be past that date ; and will be needing replacement anyway this way and gets to restock its military equipment with more newer updates versions and send the soon to by out of date to Ukraine and as a bonus UK military saves the money it will have used for destroying the old military equipment as well !!
Also it is true other parts of the Aid / funding will be used to purchase new weapons and this will be sent to Ukraine; but all sales must be and will be bought from the UK industrial complex industry and UK manufacturers; this supports local BRITISH communities that produce weapon's this helps marginalized communities and states get a solid cash influx / bust into their local economy and supports jobs within the factors that will be producing those new weapons.-.
(So the money doesn't go into the pockets of Zelensky and friends thats a myth pumped out by Russian propaganda and regurgitated by "pathetic tools" of the kremlin like propaganda trolls )
Members of gov. have questioned how closely the UK. is tracking its aid to Ukraine to ensure that it is not subject to fraud or ending up in the wrong hands. The MOD has conducted an investigation and told parliament , that the MOD has found no evidence of such corruption or wrongdoing, but cautioned that investigations are only in their early stages.
The MODs has said that despite claims to the contrary, the UK is not sending bags of unaccounted-for cash to Ukraine. Most UK contributions go to military aid, including weapons and equipment made by UK defense contractors who employ communities across the country. When the UK. spends money to purchase military equipment as part of an international aid package, the materiel may go overseas, but the money and jobs stay in the UK Similarly, appropriations for the UK Foreign Military Financing program provide incentives for NATO allies and partners to secure UK-made capabilities. This translates to more business for UK companies and sustained employment for communities in which they operate.
In short, the numbers suggest that continued support for Ukraine is a win-win for Ukrainians and the the British public .
The UK can continue to defend stability and democratic governance across the globe, while at the same time boosting UKs industrial output and advancing UK economic interests.
So like i have said; This is more like buying yourself a new cell phone and giving the old away to your kid, and claiming you gave your kid 2,000 pounds (the price of the new phone) because he now has your old cell phone and you have the new one !!! IT'S A WIN WIN !!

We NEED to understand this :
RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA attacks its target by just being between the gray areas of what is the truth and lies that small crack between the two ; between the light and the dark; between the cracks of the open spaces: in other words they mislead by false appearances and illusions and those doubt and confusing is the order of the day !
And that's why it is so effective, as it is neither lies or truth, is not half truths or half lies; its all of the above and none of the above !!!
It is not made to make you believe in anything or disbelieve anything, it's made to make you doubt and distrust your own reality of what you have of experience about your own society what the world , society has objectivity shown you to be truth, you start to doubt your own society there is no objectivity grounded facts and truth ; everything is subjective and floating, nothing is clear-cut no universal truth.
Russian propaganda just sows enough doubt and confusion, that you just ignore your own thoughts of what you know is true and therefore rocks with your internal conviction and your physical sense of being ! It doesn't try to make you believe anything but to trust nothing and doubt everything around you .. !
In the shadow world of the Kremlin's FSB its called Active measures, and it's psychological subversion and confusion management at its highest level ; what some ppl. may call gaslighting but fare more sophisticated than so !
Its not intelligence collection the FSB and GRU is doing when they run such psychological propaganda operations, but subversion of the countries populace minds and their reality : "active measures " is made to weaken the targets moral , to drive wedges in the the targets community alliances of all sorts, sow discord among allies, to weaken the western systems in the eyes of its own populace.
What Russian propaganda tries to do is mentally turn YOU into one of those "prisoners in the cave" like in Plato's Allegory of the Cave from Plato's Republic (in the theory of forms ) , you see shadows and reflections of what they show you and a twisted from of reality is then reality a type of distorted the truth and facts ; the light and truth has become "shadows on a wall " where you are not sure anymore and started to think and doubt facts and truth believing that maybe up is down, white is black, left is right; truth is lies and fact is fiction !!
And those you will find yourself a solace in your own ignorances and doubt and in some cases you may even choose to be hostile to anyone that challenges whatever preconceptions and notions of doubt you have being gaslighted into thinking is the " truth ( "shadows on a wall " so to speak ) !!!
You have been victimized and programmed by Russian propaganda to believe or disbelieve whatever is the kremlin narrative, you have became a dubious fool that is " on the horns of a dilemma" and you end up in rejecting grounded norms and truth and just willing become accepting of what suites the kremlin narrative; you start repeating Kremlin talking points like a parrot and you are more or less incapable of critical independent sovereign thinking a cognitive dissonance prevails; you will struggle to gain the knowledge and enlightenment needed to analyze contradictory statements !
The target (civilized western world) " western societies populace and you are drained down into a muddy murky abyss of contradictory statements; in other words subversion of the target society (and YOU ) at this point is complete and your ability to illuminate your own thoughts and find truth is destroyed and the path for enlightenment critical thinking is therefore almost impossible..
THIS IS WHAT RUSSIANS FSB AND GRU CALL ACTIVE MEASURES !!
Like the Danish philosopher SØREN KIERKEGAARD once said ;
There are two ways to be fooled , one is to believe what ISN'T TRUE ; The other is to REFUSE to believe what is TRUE !!

US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , because Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!
And here we can clearly see what such guarantees with the west is worth, it has been 8 years now since Russia invaded Ukraine in the east of the country and annexed parts of Ukraine in Crimea AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED so now Russia is going all inn and taking everything THE CAN!!
That is the result of worthless grantees !!
And here's something the WEST is clearly overlooking ; Taiwan , Israel and everyone else is also asking the question; CAN I TRUST THE WEST TO HOLD TO THEIR WORD AND STAND BY THE GUARANTEES THEY GIVE ! and not just Taiwan and Israel, is right now asking themselves those questions, but even small eastern European NATO member states that border Russia, will be asking themselves those questions as well !! IT'S ABOUT TRUST YOU LOSE TRUST YOU LOSE EVERYTHING!!
And her is the real kicker ; Also Iran, North Korea and China will be seeing what is going on and soon they will be thinking the west is weak; And the will be thinking and saying things like, just look what the west did when Russia was calling out their bluff about red lines in Ukraine ... The time is now, we have our chance to stick it to them !!!!
And then we will see China take Taiwan (so no more silicon-chips for you ) and then we will see Iran take Israel (middle east oil all gone and the middles east up in fire ) And when North Korea goes into South no more south Korea as north will take it over as well !!
SO YOUR OPTIONS ARE ,TO TAKE A STAND NOW OR LATER !!

THE AID IS NOT 350 BILLION AT ALL THATS A LIE IT IS 120 BILLION (still a lot of money yes ) AND OVER 85 % OF THAT MONEY WAS NOT SENDT TO UKRAINE IT WAS USED TO RESTOCK WITH NEW WEAPONS FOR THE US. OWN STOCK ; REPLACING ITS OWN STOCK , THAT SOON WILL HAVE BEEN PASS ITS SHELF-LIFE ANYWAY AND IN NEEDS OF DESTRUCTION !!
So the aid Trump is talking about is no where in reality at all it is only in his lying head only !!! There was never 350 Billion there is not 350 billion there is a 120 billion yes but NOT a 350 Billion ..
Also when Trump claims US has sent more than Europe that is wrong as well the EU has sent 135 billion US sent 120 Billion ..
A good eks , is Denmark the tiny country of 6 million, has donated 8.2 billion usd. Compared to Americas contribution of 120 billion, that would be 451 billion or about 4 times as much per capita. So much for US lies and taking credit..
DONT BELEVE ME JUST GOOGLE (‘The actual number is $120B, not $350B’: Rattner debunks Trump’s Ukraine aid claims)
SIDE NOTE Over 130 countries came to the aid of USA on 9/11. Did any one ask to be paid back?
The aid is not free cash it’s the equivalent of those dollars in hardware !!!
its hardware from old equipment of military stock piles that will have been sent or about to be sent for destruction and will have been replaced anyway as its shelf life storage l is over and out dated or about to be over date !! (this way US saves money by not having to safely destroy those weapons only replace them )
The military equipment has been pulled directly from existing U.S. military old SURPLUS inventory that has a shelf date that soon will be past that date ; and will be needing replacement anyway this way US. gets to restock its military equipment with more newer updates versions and send the soon to by out of date to Ukraine and as a bonus US. military saves the money it will have used for destroying the old military equipment as well !!
Also it is true other parts of the Aid / funding will be used to purchase new weapons and this will be sent to Ukraine; but all sales must be and will be bought from the US industrial complex industry and American manufacturers; this supports local American communities in states (over 33 states ) that produce weapon's this helps marginalized communities and sates get a solid cash influx / bust into their local economy and supports jobs within the factors that will be producing those new weapons.-.
(So the money doesn't go into the pockets of Zelensky and friends thats a myth pumped out by Russian propaganda and regurgitated by "pathetic tools" of the kremlin like TuckerCarlsen or MUSK )

Similarly, appropriations for the US Foreign Military Financing program provide incentives for NATO allies and partners to secure US-made capabilities. This translates to more business for US companies and sustained employment for rural communities in which they operate.
For instance, Lockheed Martin, maker of the HIMARS—which has been central to Ukraine’s counteroffensive—plans to increase its Camden, Arkansas facility’s workforce by 20%, and recently announced increased profit projections through the end of the year. Similarly, General Dynamics has committed to building new production facilities in Mesquite, Texas, bringing money and jobs to the region. Change like this takes place only when the Pentagon sends strong and stable market signals to the defense industry, giving it the confidence to expand and hire.
In short, the numbers suggest that continued support for Ukraine is a win-win for Ukrainians and the American people.
The United States can continue to defend stability and democratic governance across the globe, while at the same time boosting American industrial output and advancing US economic interests.

Som republicans claim that the United States cannot foot the bill of a long, drawn-out war in Ukraine, a faction of Republican lawmakers is threatening to shut down the US government if further Ukraine funding is included in a continuing resolution.
But this approach does not take into consideration the benefits to US strategic interests and the American economy. A large portion of the money if not nearly all of it is “designated for Ukraine” is being reinvested in American companies and other military industrial complex , bolstering the defense industry and sustaining American manufacturing jobs for American workers; in over 35 different states in the country all those states badly need those investments and jobs for their citizens.
Despite claims to the contrary, the United States is not sending bags of unaccounted-for cash to Ukraine. Most US contributions go to military aid, including weapons and equipment made by American defense contractors who employ communities across the country. When the United States spends money to purchase military equipment as part of an international aid package, the materiel may go overseas, but the money and jobs stay in America.
Similarly, appropriations for the US Foreign Military Financing program provide incentives for NATO allies and partners to secure US-made capabilities. This translates to more business for US companies and sustained employment for rural communities in which they operate.

What women actually want when they want "equality" is :
- The societal rights “privilege” of men
-The social " authority" of a man
-The societal rights and privilege of women
- The responsibility of neither a man or a woman
-The sexual freedom of a wild animal without judgment
- The accountability of a child (preferably a baby girl child)
- They just want the best of both worlds, worst of none;
-They want everything for nothing
-For females of today words like Dust, Cook, Clean etc are all 4 letter words like blasphemous, swearing in a church
Schrödinger's feminism: a woman is simultaneously strong, independent and empowered and also an appressed victim; until something happens. Then she chooses which state benefits her the most and behaves accordingly.
In short they want a position and role of superiority, without the hassle of responsibility and / or accountability for that position and role
Imagine how silly it would sound if an adult male said, “I’m a strong independent man.” Women want to be patted on the back for simply doing shit that men think is just part of being a human.
A TRUTHFUL JOKE ; Did you hear the story of the boy that got everything he ever wanted? He lived happily ever after. Did you hear the story of the girl that got everything she asked for? It wasn’t good enough.
TO SUM UP "Women are like children" is spot on. They want what they want when they want it, have no sense of proportion, no sense of guilt about what they do to get their way, etc.
LIKE I ALWAYS SAY : Dating a western women is like going to an expensive restaurant paying double then having to eat leftovers out of a dumpster " it cost to much and gives a bad aftertaste of shit ..
The strong independent feminism say : Don't treat me like I am a sexual object, unless you pay 3.99 a month for my Only fans page .

I SAY … Putin is just a symptom of the diseased psychotic nation that is Russia..
It is not Putin who made modern Russia or Russians, it is Russia and Russians who made Putin !!!.
After all the Russians do know the truth about Putin by now, they know who he is, what he does , what he will do, and what he has done, it should come as no surprise to any Russian, what they are voting for after soon 20 years with Putin in power THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT HIM !!
Even when Putin himself was NOT able to run for President back in 2008, and the Russians, had a chance to vote for another direction, what did they do?? They voted in Putin's boy Dmitry Medvedev for president, the Russians had the changes to vote for Boris Nemtsov and therefor freedom, rule of law and democracy but NO THEY VOTE for Putins boy Dmitry Medvedev for president, because that was the next best thing to voting for Putin !!

Just look at the population of Russians LIVING in that nations in East Europe it does not need to be that big to get problems .
Look at some facts
Ukraine only 17,3% ethnic Russian
Latvia only 26% ethnic Russian
Lithuania only 2,5% ethnic Russian
Estonia only 25,2 % ethnic Russian
Moldova only 5.8% ethnic Russian
Georgia only 1,5 % ethnic Russian
The % is not big in most of the nation's above but when it comes to how much this Russian scum demand of influence and how much they are screaming if you did not know the facts you will think they are almost the majority of the populations.
Take Lithuania as an good exs. in that country ethnic RuSSians are ONLY 2,5% that represents ONLY 50,460 people that are ethnic Russians and Russians are NOT the biggest ethnic group in-fact after Lithuanians it is Jews that take 2nd place as the biggest ethnic group in Lithuania with 7,6% of the population that represents 153,743 that is 3 times bigger than Russians and we don’t see the jews shouting out that their language (Hebrew) must have a special status in education, schools and that gov. documents must be written in Hebrew and TV and Radio must also be in Hebrew, street signs must be written Hebrew and that Hebrew must have special protected statues rights within Lithuania like
Russians are shouting about that they demand and want in Lithuania for their Russian language now do we …??
NO WE DONT !! becouse the Jewish population in Lithuania understand and respect that Lithuanians are the rightful owners and ppl. of Lithuania and they respect that fact..
SO THE QUESTION must be: Why is there always a problem with ethnic Russians all the time and why do they think they can demand special status for themselves and special status for Russian language who do they think they are ???

Let's see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
The pro PUTIN BOOT LICKERSthat are putins but boys Trump and JD saying Ukraine has to give up on wanting its land back give up on wanting the Black sea back give up on wanting the Azov sea back give up on wanting its cities back its people ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass Russia wants so give it up ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..
FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5:
1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression.
2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility.
3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

Putin did not begin the undercover proxy-war in 2014 so that it would end in peace, independency and prosperity for Ukraine and its people. and he did not start a all out war in 2022 for the independency and prosperity for Ukraine and its people
This war does not hinder Putin, it facilitates his goals instead.
Putin started it so it would end with the defeat of Ukraine and the Ukrainian peoples/ nations aspirations of true self-government true independence and democratic nation, that was fare away from the hegemony control and orbit of Russia … IN OTHER words with our collapse of Ukrainian society.
It helps him keep Ukraine on the Kremlin hook and hegemony control and helps Putin feel himself as an influential leader negotiating with the West. So, why would he need peace?
And before someone starts up about Russia right to protect itself from the "western incursion and decadent western incorrectness of political arrogance" (whatever that means ) and therefor Russian needs a "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine "
Let me ask you this ; Who gives Putin the right to have "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine " we live in 2022 not 1822 ??? What about the people who live in "that so called sphere of interest" that is the sovereign country of Ukraine don't they (the Ukrainian ppl.) have an " sphere of interest in Ukraine itself " ?
Shall the Ukrainians just bend their knee and behave as slaves, and become some sort of quasi 2nd class nation/ country, and have their society run under the heal and accept being kicked by Kremlin's boot of the " sphere of Russian interest " ; Should Ukraine just roll over and let Russia controlled Ukraine for the sole benefit of Putins klan agenda and the geo political intrs. of the Moscow Kremlin kleptocracy elites?: And let Ukraine become some sort of quasi geographical entity for political advantages of the Kremlin ? Or should Ukraine stand up and fight against such tyrannical things as PUTINS "sphere of interest" as the independent European self governing state it is FIGHT for freedom, sovereignty and self-rule ??
FACT !!! Ukraine was forced into this war by Russia not Russia by Ukraine (or anyone else ) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has no choice he needs to now be the president of a country, that is in a war defending its country and ppl. against a brutal evil aggressor. And the authorities of the aggressor country do not want any peace.
(If the Russia army stops fighting today and goes home back to Russia tomorrow there will be NO war If Ukraine stops fighting today there will be NO Ukraine !! )
Russians doesn't want to be a part of the western democracy thats fine Ukraine does Ukrainian society has nothing good to say about marximen or wokeisem or Russian imperialism they among Ukraine's stand absolutely equal and are seen with the disdain, loathing and contempt !!!
But like I say if Russia has no intrs. and they feel Russia society values and norms living is so much better than the despicable arrogant western world, just stay in Russia stop living inside the west stop buying houses , sending your kids to western schools for a western education and holidays to the western world and stop using western products and technology no prob you go do you; you go be Russia no one is stopping you !!
Why not try and stop emulating the west will at the same time rejecting the west and then on top of it claiming to be its equal .. here is a thought if you are the emulating the west you are a copy and a copy is just hard core evidence that the original is the better !! If your Russki Mir (Russian World ideology of imperialism and expansionism ) was better than the western world; why do you not 100% just stick to being Russian why are you emulating everything that is western !! The answer is clear because its better than your Russki Mir !!
Ukraine, Georgia , Moldova the Baltic's and the rest of Eastern Europe don't want your Russian world (KGB Putin Stalinism strong man BS ) they want western democracy freedom and choice so let them make their own future there own mistakes and there own success those ppl. countries and nations don't want your Moscow /Kremlin HEGEMONY called Russki Mir or your so called Russian greatness of special rights of so called 3rd Rome !!
Let's take a look at Ukraine and the same goes for Georgia and other countries that Moscow wants to bully and kick around !!
Ukraine is a sovereign nation with rights and should be free to govern itself. Russia as a political entity has never had the best interest of the Ukraine and its people at heart. The Ukrainians have a distinct and rich culture, their own language, and a desire for self-rule, liberty and freedom to make decisions of its own.
Russia wants to control Ukraine so it can obtain its resources for its own benefit (as has happened throughout history). Ukraine in its east and south has in-fact the 3rd biggest oil and gas reservers in Europe and should those resources start getting taped and sold to the west then Russia has a massive competitor on its hands for the European market !! You don't believe me google Ukraine shield gas reserves !!
Russian control has never been for the benefit of the Ukrainian people. BUT HERE"S THE REAL POINT: even if it had been, Ukraine is still a sovereign nation and has the right to rule itself!!!
The Russian state has sought to control Ukraine and to deceive the rest of the world into believing that there is no Ukrainian culture or language, and that Ukraine is simply a dissident Russian state through use of propaganda and oppression has repeatedly attempted to wipe out the Ukrainian people and culture.
Do I need to mention the millions of Ukrainians killed by the Russian government? The fear and repression of Ukraine under Russian rule? The families lost behind the "Iron Curtain?"
The Holodomor genocide when Russia killed 10 mill Ukrainians in 1933 - 1934 and after that replaced then with ethnic Russians manly in the east of Ukraine (todays Donbas ) for crying out loud?
And that is why after 1991 the Ukrainians rally around their rich and beautiful culture - because it is THEIRS. And because they deserve a voice of their own, and to live free from the oppression of foreign state that seeks to exploit and obliterate them!
Russian controlled soviet union former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect ...couldn't wait to join NATO and the EU to get as fare away from Russian hegemony control as fast as the possibly can at the time .
If the Russians weren't suchaaaaholes, they wouldn't have to worry about EU NATO and former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect running too the front door of EU and NATO .
(PS : yes i agree not all is perfect in the west but is why better and has always been why better than anything Russia has come up with in history ; And that is why ppl from all over the world (including Russians ) move to Europe ,UK and US in the millions !! ; For all its faults that the western world has and it has a few, it still is 10000 times better than Russia , Africa or china !!! I mean no one is building a wall to hold ppl. inside like Russian controlled Soviet Union did the US is in fact building walls to stop ppl. for coming inn and so dose European countries as well )j

US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , becouse Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!

Tucker says "Free speech is fundamental to a free society" and he says " You can not have a democracy without free speech " and Tucker is absolutely right on both of those points !!
But the hypocrite that is Tucker loves Putin he shills for PUTIN all the time !!
Question Tucker Is there a lot of free speech in Russia ???
I think we all know the answer to that one now don't we ? !!
So why are you promoting Russia and Putin as some sort of alternative society for the west , who do you really work for Tucker ? !!
Looks like Tuckers hate and disdain for the wokeleft (and he and I both share this disdain and hate ) has forced him into the conner, where he has made (with himself) a type of Faustian-bargain to become a type of American quasi Benedict Arnold cheerleader-supporter of Putinsevil in Ukraine; in some sort of wired type of My Enemies Enemy is my Fiend logic ..
(This type of Tucker logic is as weirded as when some feministsare supporting islamicc mass-imagination type of thing, it is totally un-logical and immensely counterproductive to your end goal; But i GUESS My Enemies Enemy is my Fiend logic, was never any type of a 100% watertight idiotproof logic anyway )
What Mr Carlson is overlooking is that sometimes,(if not all the time ) its better to fight the evilsof the enemy you know, that is in your own home (WOKEISEM ) than to go into cahoots with the evilyou don't really know, (putinsRussia ) thinking that the evil that is PutinsRussia is some sort a fellow traveler in the fight against leftistswokeism and your Don Quixote quest of "fighting windmills" of the stupiditywokees back home on your farm ..
I always say a good rule in life, is never overlook evil or invite it into your life (no matter how useful you think it is at the time ) thinking it will help you fight the demonicdemons in your mind , or in your house; It blinds your judgment !!
Understand one thing IT IS YOUR JOB to fight ALL EVIL!!!! so what TucktuckTucker is doing here on his show night after night, whitewashing Putins ongoing war and Putins warcrimes inside Ukriane, is NOT exactly what Jordan B Peterson will have called an antidote to Chaos now is it !!
Russia has invaded a smaller, weaker country bombing their hospitals, andkilling Ukrainian civilians!!
I must say i think the Ukrainians have been very well behaved by NOTbombing Russian bordercities and if calling president Zelenskyy (Zelenskyy is jewish) anazi and a clown among other lies and things, is all the Russian propagandamachine and Tucker can come up when trying to demonize Ukrainians and make Ukriane " look bad" and Russians look good, then that is what I call a big joke done by a even bigger clown called Putins Court Jester Mr TucktuckTucker Carlson ..!!.. .
I wonder what Putins Court Jester Mr. TucktuckTucker will have said and done if his childrens-kindergarten got bombed or his entire village got turned into rubble and his next-door neighbors wasshoot in the streets with their hands tied behind their backs, or what he will say if his 12 yearold sister or daughter or his mother gotRaped infront of his eyes ... I am sure the moral high and mighty TucktuckTucker will have invited the Russians for tea and a talk about how to accommodated them into taking over his country and negotiate a pace where Russia gets to take over land and territories for free and never be holden responsible for its illegal invasion and war crimes committed.. , lets just put a blanket over that for peace yes peace right Tucker

Russia supplies Hamas with everything they needed Russia does this via Iran, using Iran as a puppet state a this way have possible deniability so Kremlin can send Hamas weapons and funding !!
And ppl. in the west that are pro Putin are infact all indirectly (but to stupid to understand ) supportive of all the western enemies enemies like Syria , Iran , North Korea, Hamas and even the Taliban by supporting Russia as Russia is backing them all up to the teeth !!
Ask yourself this question ; Who benefits from this destabilization right now who ???
You dont fine this strange that all this happened just right after Putin had all those massive meetings in the last months ; Putin in the last months has had personal meetings with all of the leaders of Iran , North Korea , China and even the Taliban and Hams in the last months !!! And now all we all of see that suddenly out of the blue, Hamas has all the resources it needs to go all out war with the strongest country in the middle east Hamas a little bankrupt terror org. can now go an all out attack full scale attack on Israel !!!

RuZZia gets to have western media look another way form what RuZZia is doing inside Ukraine!!!!! Russia gets to defect the worlds attention way from the war crimes, genocide , the 10s of thousands of Ukrainian children Russian army has kidnapped in Ukriane !!!
Russia gets the world media to look another way when it comes to the fact the Putin is a wanted man that the ICC International criminal court in The Hague as issued an arrest warrant ,for war crimes and crimes against humanity including but not limited to genocide and for kidnapping of Ukrainian children and forcibly deporting them to Russia !!

@bob-g3e3x Ukraine is not attacking anybody; they are protecting their land…They are on our their land…So that's why they are absolutely confident that they must win in the war.”
Amid the shock and horror of Russia’s Ukraine invasion, many have sought to blame everything solely on Vladimir Putin. As international audiences try to make sense of the unthinkable scenes currently unfolding in the heart of Europe, it is convenient to believe that Putin has simply lost his mind.
There is something reassuring about the idea that the carnage in Ukraine is all down to the criminal insanity of one man. However, talk of “Mad Vlad” is a comforting myth that disguises a far darker reality. While the Russian ruler’s well-documented Ukraine obsession has been instrumental in sparking the largest European conflict since World War II, his decision to invade Ukraine was entirely consistent with longstanding public statements and foreign policy goals that are enthusiastically embraced by a clear majority of Russians.
This is their war just as much as it is Putin’s. Recent polling data provides the clearest indication of Russian popular support for the war in Ukraine. In the days following the February 24 invasion, Putin’s personal approval rating actually rose to multi-year highs. According to state pollster VTsIOM, his rating jumped six percent in the week ending February 27 to reach 70%. Fellow polling agency FOM recorded a seven percent increase over the same period, bringing approval of Putin to 71%. Ordinary Russians have been queuing up to publicly endorse the war effort.
The “Z” branding used by Russian troops in Ukraine is becoming increasingly ubiquitous across the country as a shorthand symbol of support, while a rapidly expanding list of public figures and professional collectives have released statements backing the invasion. For example, the heads of 250 Russian universities published an official address by the Union of Russian Rectors on March 4 justifying the war and calling on Russians to rally around Putin. Meanwhile, domestic opposition to the invasion has been underwhelming. Protests have taken place in a number of cities across Russia but these efforts have attracted relatively small crowds and have failed to gain momentum. While the courage of individual Russian protesters is not in question, it is futile to talk of a significant opposition movement until we see anti-war rallies attracting hundreds of thousands.
At present, there no indication that this is likely to happen. Indeed, most Russians seem more concerned by the departure of international consumer brands from the country than by the war crimes being committed by their army in neighboring Ukraine. Many Russians simply refuse to acknowledge the atrocities that have accompanied Putin’s invasion. Since the onset of hostilities, numerous reports have appeared in the international media recounting how Ukrainians have been unable to convince their Russian relatives that the Russian army is bombing Ukrainian towns and cities. It is tempting to infantilize the Russian public and argue that they are simply being deprived of accurate information, but this is intellectually dishonest.
While the country’s mainstream media is strictly controlled by Kremlin curators, Russians are expert in the art of navigating propaganda and can easily access alternative sources of information if they are so inclined. The chilling truth is that tens of millions of Russians readily accept the Orwellian lies promoted by Kremlin TV and share the sentiments expressed by the country’s pro-war cheerleaders.
Today’s pro-war mood did not emerge overnight. For centuries, Russia has bitterly opposed Ukraine’s struggle for statehood. Instead, Russians have been encouraged to adopt a condescending view of Ukraine as a younger brother in need of discipline and direction.
While folksy expressions of Ukrainian identity have traditionally been tolerated, any attempt to promote the idea of a truly separate Ukrainian nation has been interpreted as a direct attack on Russia and treated accordingly. Despite over three decades of Ukrainian independence, such imperialistic thinking remains alive and well in today’s Russia.
Over the past eight years, the Kremlin has skillfully amplified these deep-seated prejudices and resentments. Since the 2014 seizure of Crimea and Moscow’s military intervention in eastern Ukraine, the Russian public have been spoon-fed a daily diet of disinformation designed to demonize and dehumanize Ukrainians as Nazis and puppets of the West. In Putin’s own words, modern Ukraine has become an “anti-Russia” that poses an existential threat to Russia itself. In light of majority Russian backing for the invasion, it is unrealistic to expect sanctions or global condemnation to convince Putin of the need for a change in policy.
On the contrary, rising costs imposed by the international community will only encourage more Russians to back the war effort and persuade them that the very existence of an independent Ukraine is part of a vast anti-Russian conspiracy. In this alternative reality, mounting hardships will be seen as the inevitable price of defending Russia against foreign enemies. If the democratic world is serious about stopping Putin, it must abandon any hope of domestic opposition to the war.
There will be no palace coups or popular uprisings as long as most Russians continue to share Putin’s unhinged obsession with the subjugation of Ukraine. Instead, the only way to influence Russia is by depriving it of the revenues to fund its war machine while dramatically increasing Ukraine’s ability to defend itself. Putin’s Ukraine invasion is the defining moment of his entire reign and he enjoys the emphatic backing of the Russian people. He will not back down unless he is bankrupted and bloodied.

@Goe007 When we look at history the US, on the contrary to how Russia acts!!!
The US, didn't use force against Venezuela when and Belorussia when they sided w/ Russia over the west; The US and the west infact says it is their right as a sovereign country to do so.
Moreover, US entered into war in many countries this is true but when the US has done so it was to protect, to hunt down criminals, to arrest drug dealers, fight invaders and to stop terrrorism !!! NOT THE SAME AS WHAT RUSSIA DOSE !!!,
US never annex anyone did not take an inch of their land. SHOW me an annexed US part of Iraq , Afghanistan , Libya Balkans , Syria , Somalia ect ect ect (i CAN SHOW YOU ANNEX PARTS OF MOLDOVA , GEORGIA AND UKRAINE
Russia is doing the opposite to what US dose in all of its history . RUSSIA took land, and has a long history of Annexing other ppl. land genocide the ppl of that land and moving ethnic Russians into it and claiming it to be russia !!
Russia took a part of Finland the South Karelia and North Karelia parts of Finland, Winter War of 1939–4 a part of Germany(then, called Koenigsberg, 1945 now, called Kaliningrad and Russia took half of Sakhalin & Kurile islands of Japan (two days after atomic bomb was dropped & declared war on Japan at the same time). Russia knew Japan was on its knees, then. Japan cannot defend, even its mainland against Americans, then. Clearly, she took advantage of the situation. And lets not forget Abkhazia , south Ossetia in Georgia and Transnistria in Moldova and now Crimea and east Ukriane in Ukriane ..
LIKE I SAY NOT THE SAME IS IT SHOW ME AN ANNEXED CONTRY TOOK BE THE US ??

@mobiusone6994 BEFORE SOMEONE STARTS SAYING USA AND NATO ILLEGALLY INVADES OTHERS BLA BLA BLA IS WRONG SOME WARS ARE LEGAL SOME ARE NOT ...LET ME TELL YOU THIS !!
1. Iraqi invaded Kuwait (first Iraq war 1990–91 ) and US responded with a UN secretary council mandate !! Members of Congress of both political parties, and members of the United Nations Security Council, (that both Russia and China are members of and both have veto rights in the UN Security Council ) agree at the time that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must disarm.
2. Afghanistan was harboring al-Qaede, and was asked to give up Bin Landen the refused and became a party in the 9/11 attacks ... so USA was attacked and it responded with a UN mandate
3. Libya was NOT USA it was in fact a UN security counsel section mission by the UN.. They asked NATO to help ... The NATO-led operation was launched under the authority of two UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR), 1970 and 1973, both quoting Chapter VII of the UN Charter, and neither of which was opposed by Russia.
4. In 2003 invasion of Iraq (2nd Iraq war )!! Everyone believed Saddam when he said he had weapons and why not believe he had only some years before in the IRAN /IRAQ war used such weapons so there was not reason to not to believe him and he was offered several time to prove he did not have and let the UN weapons inspectors in to confirm or disconfirm if he had those weapons that everyone believed he had and he refused to let in the UN weapons inspectors (by the way how was french not American ) and the UN Security Council that Russia and CHINA are members of and has veto vote in (so they can use veto vote to block anything they want )did not have any problem in the United Nations Security Council and US demanding Saddam follow the restriction and demands that was imposed by the United Nations Security Council at they time !! Because everyone's own intelligence agency (not just the US ) even Russia and china was convinced Sadam did in-fact have WMDs
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 is a United Nations Security Council resolution adopted unanimously by the United Nations Security Council on 8 November 2002, offering Iraq under Saddam Hussein "a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations" that had been set out in several previous resolutions (Resolutions 660, 661, 678, 686, 687, 688, 707, 715, 986, and 1284).[1] It provided a justification for what was subsequently termed the US invasion of Iraq !!!
Resolution 1441 stated and gave the legal grounds for a legal invasion of Iraq as Iraq was in material breach of the ceasefire terms presented under the terms of Resolution 687. for the 1st Iraq war in 1990–91 Iraq's breaches related not only to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), but also the known construction of prohibited types of missiles, the purchase and import of prohibited armaments, and the continuing refusal of Iraq to compensate Kuwait for the widespread looting conducted by its troops during the 1990–1991 invasion and occupation. It also stated that "...false statements or omissions in the declarations submitted by Iraq pursuant to this resolution and failure by Iraq at any time to comply with, and cooperate fully in the implementation of, this resolution shall constitute a further material breach of Iraq's obligations."
IF RUSSIA DID NOT PLAY BALL ON THE LYBIA ISSUE AND RUSSIA DID NOT WANT THE UN TO ASK NATO TO TAKE OUT LYBIA WHY DID RUSSIA NOT USE ITS VETO RIGHT IN THE UN AND STOP ANY ACTION ????

United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 is a United Nations Security Council resolution adopted unanimously by the United Nations Security Council on 8 November 2002, offering Iraq under Saddam Hussein "a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations" that had been set out in several previous resolutions (Resolutions 660, 661, 678, 686, 687, 688, 707, 715, 986, and 1284).[1] It provided a justification for what was subsequently termed the US invasion of Iraq !!!
Resolution 1441 stated and gave the legal grounds for a legal invasion of Iraq as Iraq was in material breach of the ceasefire terms presented under the terms of Resolution 687. for the 1st Iraq war in 1990–91 Iraq's breaches related not only to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), but also the known construction of prohibited types of missiles, the purchase and import of prohibited armaments, and the continuing refusal of Iraq to compensate Kuwait for the widespread looting conducted by its troops during the 1990–1991 invasion and occupation. It also stated that "...false statements or omissions in the declarations submitted by Iraq pursuant to this resolution and failure by Iraq at any time to comply with, and cooperate fully in the implementation of, this resolution shall constitute a further material breach of Iraq's obligations."
IF RUSSIA DID NOT PLAY BALL ON THE LYBIA ISSUE AND RUSSIA DID NOT WANT THE UN TO ASK NATO TO TAKE OUT LYBIA WHY DID RUSSIA NOT USE ITS VETO RIGHT IN THE UN AND STOP ANY ACTION ????

European Parliament Told: There is No Climate Emergency
Harry Wilkinson, Global Warming Policy Forum
At a press conference on Wednesday (20th November), the European Parliament was told: ‘there is no climate emergency’. One MEP became emotional and accused the organizers of ‘collective manslaughter’ on future generations.
The press conference was hosted by the European Conservatives and Reformists group in the European Parliament, who formally received the climate declaration from Professor Guus Berkhout.
Professor Berkhout represents the Climate Intelligence Foundation (Clintel), a Dutch group who have collected signatures from over 700 prominent scientists and professionals in support of the basic statement: there is no climate emergency.
Signatories include Nobel laureate, Professor Ivar Giaever, who made important experimental discoveries regarding superconductors, and the influential mathematician and physicist Professor Freeman Dyson.
The Liberal Democrat MEP, Irina von Wiese, took umbrage at the declaration, and refused to believe IPCC statements about a lack of any global trends in extreme weather events.
The declaration was supported by an addendum, setting out the scientific justification for the statement:
Natural as well as anthropogenic factors cause warming
The geological archive reveals that Earth’s climate has varied as long as the planet has existed, with natural cold and warm phases. The Little Ice Age ended as recently as 1850. Therefore, it is no surprise that we now are experiencing a period of warming.
Warming is far slower than predicted
The world has warmed at less than half the rate predicted by IPCC on the basis of modeled anthropogenic forcing and radiative imbalance. It tells us that we are far from understanding climate change.
Climate policy relies on inadequate models
Climate models have many shortcomings and are not remotely plausible as global policy tools. They blow up the effect of greenhouse gases such as CO2. In addition, they ignore the fact that enriching the atmosphere with CO2 can also be beneficial.
CO2 is plant food, the basis of all life on Earth
CO2 is not a pollutant. It is essential to all life on Earth. Photosynthesis is a blessing. More CO2 is beneficial for nature, greening the Earth: additional CO2 in the air has promoted growth in global plant biomass. It is also good for agriculture, increasing the yields of crops worldwide.
Global warming has not increased natural disasters
There is no statistical evidence that global warming is intensifying hurricanes, floods, droughts and suchlike natural disasters, or making them more frequent. However, there is ample evidence that CO2-mitigation measures are as damaging as they are costly.
Climate policy must respect scientific and economic realities
There is no climate emergency. Therefore, there is no cause for panic and alarm. We strongly oppose the harmful and unrealistic net-zero CO2 policy proposed for 2050. If better approaches emerge, and they certainly will, we have ample time to reflect and re-adapt. The aim of global policy should be ‘prosperity for all’ by providing reliable and affordable energy at all times. In a prosperous society men and women are well educated, birthrates are low and people care about their environment.

It might be useful to recap some of the reason why Russia is now an outcast :
Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade; Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU;
Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries;
Provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace;
Russia's interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia;
Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers;
Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory;
Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region;
Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation";
Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict;
Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people;
Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006;
Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018;
among lots of other things to much to even list up ..
NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.

What Russia Hopes to Gain From the Israel-Hamas Conflict !!!
the relationship between Russia and Israel has cooled following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, even if Israel has remained more reluctant to support Ukraine than its Western allies would have liked.
Even so, it came as a shock to many in Israel to see a group of high-ranking Hamas members meeting with a senior Russian official on Oct. 26. The Israeli Foreign Ministry slammed the decision to invite Hamas members to Moscow as “an act in support of terrorism” and called for Russia to expel the Hamas delegation.
In the wake of the meetings, Hamas has announced that it is looking for eight hostages in Gaza that Russia has asked to be released, “because we look at Russia as our closest friend,” Hamas Politburo member Abu Marzouk said on Oct. 28.
Palestinian militants have reportedly gotten around Western sanctions by funneling millions through Russian cryptocurrency exchanges.
Russia has notably not condemned Hamas’s attacks on Oct. 7 as terrorism. Instead, Russian officials have called for both sides to put down arms and reaffirmed its support for a Palestinian state. At the United Nations Security Council, a Russian resolution that called for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages was voted down as it failed to condemn Hamas.
Mossad has come out and said there is now evidence that Russians supplied the Palestinian militant group Hamas with western infantry armaments that they seized in Ukraine, . There is evidence that Russia was involved in instigating Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks and supplied weapons used.
In speeches and public appearances, Russian officials have repeatedly criticized Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Oct. 28 that Israel’s bombardment of Gaza is against international law. Putin compared Israel’s blockade of Gaza to Nazi Germany’s siege of Leningrad during World War II, one of the most traumatic events in Russian history during which hundreds of thousands of Russian civilians died.
Others in Russia have gone further, arguing that it is time for Russia to reassess its relationship with Israel. “Whose ally is Israel? The United States of America,” Andrei Gurulev, State Duma deputy and member of its Defense Committee, wrote on Telegram. “Whose ally is Iran and its surrounding Muslim world? Ours.”

XLets me answer the pro Russia usefulidiots this way !!
If Russia had Genocided five+ millions of your people in a Holodomor (Russian genocide 1932-1933 ) and you was forcefully incorporated into a union (USSR) with Russia; where millions more was forced to Gulags (soviet concentration camps) and persecuted; then you got freedom in 1991 wouldn't you also make sure that Russia never ever again got to rule over you and your country ???
But you your family and your country, probably does not have that type of history with Russia so you simply would not understand. Look at your question another way: suppose Germany suddenly invaded Israel. Do you think Israel would or should negotiate with Germany given to give up their land for peace give up their culture give up their identity and exchange it for Germany ruling over them once more !!
Philosopher George Santayana’s warning, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” is pertinent. We know that Putin is guided by an imperialist and fascist agenda, and by a desire to restore Soviet-era dominance over its neighbors. History has also shown us that, when a despot is willing to back his agenda with military force, the results are devasting if they are not confronted.
And make no mistake, supporting Ukraine is not only a matter of countering Vladimir Putin. It is just as much about sending a loud message to other autocratic leaders — particularly in Beijing and Tehran — that the United States will not stand by as democracy is actively threatened abroad.
About 40 years ago, former Republican president Ronald Reagan branded the Soviet Union an “evil empire,” and rallied the free world around bringing it down. We must not overlook the fact that the same corrupt, authoritarian and despotic values that characterized the Soviet Union in the Reagan era are embodied by Vladimir Putin.
Unfortunately, many on the political right seem to have forgotten history — or worse, are choosing to ignore it.
ALSO ON A SIDE NOTE : A small part of Ukraines land for pace you say its only a small bit of land ...the truth is that it is in fact 200000 sqkm That is the cobindsize of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and Greece..
For the United Kingdom that is the same as they give away all of Scotland , all of Wales and 80% of England !!
For the United states that is handing over South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey !!
You want Ukraine to let Putin have that land for what? SO PUTIN COME BACK LATER AND invaded some in some years time after he hasrebuilt back up the Russian army constructed into the ground now positions on the very land he got for this so called "pace " !!
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...

Putin did not begin the undercover proxy-war in 2014 so that it would end in peace, independency and prosperity for Ukraine and its people. and he did not start a all out war in 2022 for the independency and prosperity for Ukraine and its people
This war does not hinder Putin, it facilitates his goals instead.
Putin started it so it would end with the defeat of Ukraine and the Ukrainian peoples/ nations aspirations of true self-government true independence and democratic nation, that was fare away from the hegemony control and orbit of Russia … IN OTHER words with our collapse of Ukrainian society.
It helps him keep Ukraine on the Kremlin hook and hegemony control and helps Putin feel himself as an influential leader negotiating with the West. So, why would he need peace?
And before someone starts up about Russia right to protect itself from the "western incursion and decadent western incorrectness of political arrogance" (whatever that means ) and therefor Russian needs a "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine "
Let me ask you this ; Who gives Putin the right to have "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine " we live in 2022 not 1822 ??? What about the people who live in "that so called sphere of interest" that is the sovereign country of Ukraine don't they (the Ukrainian ppl.) have an " sphere of interest in Ukraine itself " ?
Shall the Ukrainians just bend their knee and behave as slaves, and become some sort of quasi 2nd class nation/ country, and have their society run under the heal and accept being kicked by Kremlin's boot of the " sphere of Russian interest " ; Should Ukraine just roll over and let Russia controlled Ukraine for the sole benefit of Putins klan agenda and the geo political intrs. of the Moscow Kremlin kleptocracy elites?: And let Ukraine become some sort of quasi geographical entity for political advantages of the Kremlin ? Or should Ukraine stand up and fight against such tyrannical thing as PUTINS "sphere of interest" as the independent European self governing state it is FIGHT for freedom, sovereignty and self-rule ??
FACT !!! Ukraine was forced into this war by Russia not Russia by Ukraine (or anyone else ) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has no choice he needs to now be the president of a country, that is in a war defending its country and ppl. against a brutal evilaggressor. And the authorities of the aggressor country do not want any peace.
(If the Russia army stops fighting today and goes home back to Russia tomorrow there will be NO war If Ukraine stops fighting today there will be NO Ukraine !! )
Russians doesn't want to be a part of the western democracy thats fine Ukriane does that is not the same as Ukriane wants to be lgbtq++++ woke senter infact when it comes to those sort of things Ukriane is more like Russia than even Hungary or Poland is Ukrainian society has nothing good to say about marximen or wokeisem or Russian imperialism they among Ukraine's stand absolutely equal and are seen with the disdain, loathing and contempt !!!
But like I say if Russia has no intrs. and they feel Russia society values and norms living is so much better than the despicable arrogant western world, just stay in Russia stop living inside the west stop buying houses , sending your kids to western schools for a western education and holidays to the western world and stop using western products and technology no prob you go do you; you go be Russia no one is stopping you !!
Why not try and stop emulating the west will at the same time rejecting the west and then on top of it claiming to be its equal .. here is a thought if you are the emulating the west you are a copy and a copy is just hard core evidence that the original is the better !! If your Russki Mir (Russian World ideology /society ) was better then the western world; why do you not 100% just stick to being Russian why are you emulating everything that is western !! The answer is clear becouse its better then your Russki Mir !!
Ukraine, Georgia , Moldova the Baltic's and the rest of Eastern Europe don't want your Russian world (KGB Putin Stalinism strong man BS ) they want western democracy freedom and choice so let them make their own future there own mistakes and there own success those ppl. countries and nations don't want your Moscow /Kremlin HEGEMONY called Russki Mir or your so called Russian greatness of special rights of so called 3rd Rome !!
Let's take a look at Ukraine and the same goes for Georgia and other countries that Moscow wants to bully and kick around !!
Ukraine is a sovereign nation with rights and should be free to govern itself. Russia as a political entity has never had the best interest of the Ukraine and its people at heart. The Ukrainians have a distinct and rich culture, their own language, and a desire for self-rule, liberty and freedom to make decisions of its own.
Russia wants to control Ukraine so it can obtain its resources for its own benefit (as has happened throughout history). Ukraine in its east and south has in-fact the 3rd biggest oil and gas reservers in Europe and should those resources start getting taped and sold to the west then Russia has a massive competitor on its hands for the European market !! You don't believe me google Ukraine shield gas reserves !!
Russian control has never been for the benefit of the Ukrainian people. BUT HERE"S THE REAL POINT: even if it had been, Ukraine is still a sovereign nation and has the right to rule itself!!!
The Russian state has sought to control Ukraine and to deceive the rest of the world into believing that there is no Ukrainian culture or language, and that Ukraine is simply a dissident Russian state through use of propaganda and oppression has repeatedly attempted to wipe out the Ukrainian people and culture.
Do I need to mention the millions of Ukrainians killed by the Russian government? The fear and repression of Ukraine under Russian rule? The families lost behind the "Iron Curtain?"
The Holodomor genocide when Russia killed 10 mill Ukrainians in 1933 - 1934 and after that replaced then with ethnic Russians manly in the east of Ukraine (todays Donbas ) for crying out loud?
And that is why after 1991 the Ukrainians rally around their rich and beautiful culture - because it is THEIRS. And because they deserve a voice of their own, and to live free from the oppression of of foreign state that seeks to exploit and obliterate them!
Russian controlled soviet union former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect ...couldn't wait to join NATO and the EU to get as fare away from Russian hegemony control as fast as the possibly can at the time .
If the Russians weren't suchaaaaholes, they wouldn't have to worry about EU NATO and former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect running too the front door of EU and NATO .
(PS : yes i agree not all is perfect in the west but is why better and has always been why better than anything Russia has come up with in history ; And that is why ppl from all over the world (including Russians ) move to Europe ,UK and US in the millions !! ; For all its faults that the western world has and it has a few, it still is 10000 times better than Russia , Africa or china !!! I mean no one is building a wall to hold ppl. inside like Russian controlled Soviet Union did the US is in fact building walls to stop ppl. for coming inn and so dose European countries as well )

So in-fact ANY NATO country members navy and or air force is within their full right to sail and be within the Black Sea, as non of the Black Sea Nations (That have a real and legal int. recognized cost-line not like Russia ) have any problem with NATO ships being in their waters and even the non NATO members like Ukraine and Georgia, even more so then the NATO nations, want and are begging for more NATO ships to come and be in the BLACK SEA !
THE BLACK SEA IS NOT RUSSIAN SEA THAT IS NOTHING BUT A MYTH
(NATO nations of the black sea are in-fact real black sea nations not like Russia stealing land then claiming to be the owner of that land and sea )
Coastline length to the black see by country/ Country Coastline length (km)
Turkey 1,329km (NATO)
Ukraine 2,782km (NATO partner )
Bulgaria 354km (NATO)
Georgia 310km (NATO partner )
Romania 225km (NATO)
AND ON A SIDE NOTE : The western NATO-alliance is already 500 km from Moscow via Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BS there is 800 km from Kyiv to Moscow ..
(And lets not forget the last time when "Russia" got closer to NATO it was in-fact Russia own doing, by invading and annexing Crimea in 2014 "Russia" came right up-to and ended inside the NATO countries BLACK SEA maritime territorial waters !!)
And her is a thought .. If every neighbor you have is running to NATO begging NATO to let them join; is it becouse you are such a nice and good neighbor?
Or is it because you act like a bully and are aggressive and invade your neighbors lands sending in troops and tanks Hungary 1956, Czechoslovakia 1968, Poland 1980 Moldova 1990-91, Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014 ++ and now Kazakhstan 2022+++ and Ukraine 2022 (soon to come ) ??
Russia eats eats eats its victims and then blame the victims for eating them !!...
Maybe if you act in a more nicer way, then your neighbors will liked you more and maybe your neighbors in your neighborhood will want to be around you as well ..

Bandera the persion who Russia says was a NAZI was not personally part of the genocide the evidence clearly shows that Bandera had nothing to do with it ... BANDERA WAS infact a prisoner (POW) of war when the massacre in Volhynia happened..so how is Bandera responsible ????
The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists under the leadership of Stepan Bandera decided to fight against the Hitler after Bandera their leader was arrested in 1941.
Now that is NOT much collaboration now is it.... AND THAT IS WHY Stepan Bandera was arrested by the GERMANS and sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp because Bandera was not collaborating with the nazis it is a
Myth and propaganda used by Moscow and some times the anti Ukraine elements inside Poland to direct Ukrainian independence..
The German high command in Ukraine sent a memo saying that all functionaries of the Bandera Movement must be arrested at once and, after thorough interrogation, are to be liquidated...".
On July 5, Bandera was arrested and transferred to Berlin.
On July 12, the president of the newly formed Ukrainian state, Yaroslav Stetsko, was also arrested and taken to Berlin. In January 1942,
Bandera was transferred to Sachsenhausen concentration camp's special barrack for high-profile political prisoners Zellenbau
Bandera was in a German KZ camp Sachsenhausen concentration camp from 1941-1944
NOW if you are sent to a KZ camp YOU ARE NOT a friend of Hitler are you AND IF YOU ARE inn a concentration camp from 1941 to the end of 1944 YOU can not be held responsible for the Volhynia massacre that happened in 1943 !!!!
AND LETS US ALSO NOT FORGET THAT MORE AND MORE new evidence is coming to light saying that it was NKVD dressed up as UPA /OUN that did the massacre in Volhynia in 1943.. But this is still not 100% proven yet,,,,

AND WAHT ABOUT ....POLISH ARMY KILLING Ukrainian and polish Jews know as the Pinsk genocide it was the mass execution of Jewish residents of Pinsk on April 5, 1919 by the Polish Army.
The event occurred during the opening stages of the Polish-Soviet War, after the Polish Army had captured Pinsk
The Jews who were executed had been arrested whilst engaged in an illegal gathering presumably of a Bolshevik cell.
The Polish officer-in-charge ordered the summary execution of the meeting participants without trial in fear of a trap, and based on the information about the gathering's purpose that was founded on hearsay. The officer's decision was defended by high-ranking Polish military officers
The Polish Group Commander General Antoni Listowski claimed that the gathering was a Bolshevik meeting and that the Jewish population attacked the Polish troops. The overall tension of the military campaign was brought up as a justification for the crime.
The Polish military refused to give investigators access to documents, and the officers and soldiers were never punished. Major Łuczyński was not charged for any wrongdoing and was eventually transferred and promoted reaching the rank of colonel (1919) and general (1924) in the Polish army.
The events were criticized in the Sejm (Polish parliament), but representatives of the Polish army denied any wrongdoing
More than 9,500 Polish staff / civilian workers employed by the Germans to work for the-Nazi-German-death camp Auschwitz-Birkenau in the service of the-Nazis-But the Polish and Russians today like to point at Bandera as a collaborator when he was in-fact NOT he was in Sachsenhausen concentration camp from 1941 -1945 as a POW a prisoner of war in other words not collaborator but an enemy of Hitler and-the-nazis-not that that FACT will stop the Polish and Russians to give out disinformation about the man..
Jan Grabowski's book paints a damning portrait of Polish citizens who betrayed and murdered their Jewish neighbors without German orders.
Ukraine was the only country that fought a 3-front war during WW II: against Poland, against Germany and against Russia. Hitler retaliated by killing 20 (later boosted up to 100) innocent Ukrainian citizens for every soldier he lost and then he ordered them to be strung up from balconies to rot, a reminder to those who would want to help the partisans.
The Polish historian Piotr Setkiewicz describes the Gestapo’s inspection regulations as follows: “A Polish worker employed at Buna who wanted to travel home from Monowitz had to get permission from both his boss... He could not buy a ticket on his own, but had to use a worker designated by the plant to do so. At the train station in Auschwitz, moreover, he was obligated to show the requisite documents during an inspection conducted by policemen, guards even if he was working for the Germans at the time..
By the way Bandera and OUN was no more Germannazis supporter than Finland was or even Poland Bandera was fighting soviet union when they invaded Ukrainian territory and city's like Lviv (then part of Poland ) and the Hitler when he invaded Ukrainian territory... and before ww2 UPA was fighting Polish occupation of west Ukraine aka Galizia
What Russian and Polish propaganda ALSO convivially overlooks is that Bandera was in a German KZ camp Sachsenhausen concentration camp from 1941 until 1944 as a prisoner and so was all of UPA /OUN and that Stalin was the one that helped Hitler round up the Polish jews when he invaded Poland together with his good buddy Hilter in 1939

In the part of Western Volhynia, which today lies within the Volhynia, Rivne region and the north of the Ternopol regions of Ukraine, came under Polish rule after 150 years as part of the Russian Empire. It had no Catholics, either Greek or Roman.
In 1939, after 20 years under Polish rule, Poles made up approximately 16% of the population. Part of them were settlers from the central districts of Poland, who had received large plots of land, to the dissatisfaction of the poor Ukrainian majority.
In late 20 and 30s Ukrainian organizations in Poland were disturbed by a wave of anti-Ukrainian actions that did erupted ..
Polonization was the acquisition or imposition of elements of Polish culture, in particular the Polish language, as experienced in some historic periods by the non-Polish populations of territories controlled or substantially under the influence of Poland The Polish authorities renamed the eastern part of Austrian Galicia "Eastern Little Poland" and created administrative units (Palatinates) designed to include as many non-Ukrainians as possible.
In 1924 the Polish government under Władysław Grabski excluded the Ukrainian language from use in government institutions. It also avoided the official use of the word "Ukrainian", replacing it with the historical name "Ruthenian
The land reform designed in 1924 to favour the Poles in mostly Ukrainian populated Volhynia, the agricultural territory where the land question was especially was taken over by the Polish state from even the Orthodox Volhynian population who tended to be much less radical than the Greek Catholic Galicians. The fact they was part of the Ukrainian populated was grounds for the Polish state to take the land..
The Polish government in exile, gave orders to the Armija Krajowa (AK), which operated in German occupiedwestern Ukraine, to constantly demonstrate their presence: to oppose the right of Ukrainians to build their ownindependent nation, to destroy any independent Ukrainian military formations in the region, and if necessary todestroy any peaceful Ukrainian villages, bases of support for the UPA.
The victims of these barbarous attacks in1943-1944 became thousands of defenseless Ukrainian men, women and children.In 1944, Polish peasant battalions distinguished themselves as being extremely barbaric against Ukrainians inZakerzon.
They conducted ethnic cleansing operations, by completely destroying and burning entire Ukrainianvillages, together with their inhabitants.In 1945, at the Potsdam conference of the Allied heads of state, Stalin traded Ukrainian ethnic lands in Zakerzonto Poland in exchange for its open port on the Baltic Sea (now Kalingrad).
As a result, Poland had completefreedom to do as it wished with Ukrainians in Kholmschyna and Nadsyannya. Poland viewed these Ukrainians as potential rebels, and their crowning action was Operation “Wisla” in 1947, when over 150,000 Ukrainians wereforcibly removed from their villages by the Polish Army as ethnic cleansing continued

So based on this fact Bandera had nothing to do with the massacre in Volhynia, the notorious 1943-44 massacre during the time of conflict.
On 15 September 1941 Bandera and leading OUN members were arrested by the Gestapo and was sent to German KZ camp Sachsenhausen concentration camp from 1941 until 1944 as a prisoner and so was all of UPA /OUN until the end of 1944.
The massacre in Volhynia was in 1943..
In fact new evidence has come to light saying that it was NKVD dressed up as UPA /OUN that did the massacre in Volhynia was in 1943.. But this is still not 100% proven yet,,,,
But it will not surprise me at all as that was typical for the time the NKVD did blame the germans for the genocide of polish in Katyn forest genocide, so doing a genocide and then bleaming it on someone else is somtihng the NKVD did a lot back then...
http://connection.ebscohost.com/c/articles/83517526/katyn-forest-massacre-genocide-state-lies-secrecy
The Soviet secret police murdered thousands of Poles near the Katyn Forest, just outside the Russian city of Smolensk, in the early spring of 1940. The Soviets targeted members of the Polish intelligentsia--military officers, doctors, engineers, police officers, and teachers--which Stalin, the Soviet leader, sought to eradicate preventively. At the start of World War II, the Soviet Union viewed Poland as attractive territory, to be conquered and potentially annexed after the war. The Katyn massacre was not discovered until 1943, by the Germans, who instantly blamed the Soviets. The latter, however, blamed the Germans, and the Western Allies begrudgingly accepted this untruthful claim.
The Katyn Forest Massacre remained taboo for many years, and it has only attracted significant scholarly, historical and political interest in the last two decades, following the fall of the Iron Curtain. This Article seeks to decipher the Katyn myth, by describing in Part II, the events which led to the Katyn Forest Massacre, as well as the killings themselves. In Part III, this Article focuses on subsequent investigations into Katyn, including the U.S. congressional inquiry in 1952, as well as post-Cold War revelations about Katyn, permitting to officially inflict responsibility on the Soviet Union.

AND ITS NOT CORRECT AT ALL ITS MYTH AND SUCH A MYTH THAT EVEN SOME AMERICANS BELIEVE IN THIS MYTH AS WELL !!
BEFORE SOMEONE STARTS SAYING USA AND NATO ILLEGALLY INVADES OTHERS BLA BLA BLA IS WRONG SOME WARS ARE LEGAL SOME ARE NOT ...LET ME TELL YOU THIS !!
1. Iraqi invaded Kuwait (first Iraq war ) and US responded with a UN secretary council mandate !! Members of Congress of both political parties, and members of the United Nations Security Council, (that both Russia and China are members of and both have veto rights in the UN Security Council ) agree at the time that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must disarm.
2. Afghanistan was harboring al-Qaede, and was asked to give up Bin Landen the refused and became a party in the 9/11 attacks ... so USA was attacked and it responded with a UN mandate
3. Libya was NOT USA it was in fact a UN security counsel section mission by the UN.. They asked NATO to help ... The NATO-led operation was launched under the authority of two UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR), 1970 and 1973, both quoting Chapter VII of the UN Charter, and neither of which was opposed by Russia.
4. In 2003 invasion of Iraq (2nd Iraq war )!! Everyone believed Saddam when he said he had weapons and why not believe he had only some years before in the IRAN /IRAQ war used such weapons so there was not reason to not to believe him and he was offered several time to prove he did not have and let the UN weapons inspectors in to confirm or disconfirm if he had those weapons that everyone believed he had and he refused to let in the UN weapons inspectors (by the way how was french not American ) and the UN Security Council that Russia and CHINA are members of and has veto vote in (so they can use veto vote to block anything they want )did not have any problem in the United Nations Security Council and US demanding Saddam follow the restriction and demands that was imposed by the United Nations Security Council at they time !! Because everyone's own intelligence agency (not just the US ) even Russia and china was convinced Sadam did in-fact have WMDs
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 is a United Nations Security Council resolution adopted unanimously by the United Nations Security Council on 8 November 2002, offering Iraq under Saddam Hussein "a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations" that had been set out in several previous resolutions (Resolutions 660, 661, 678, 686, 687, 688, 707, 715, 986, and 1284).[1] It provided a justification for what was subsequently termed the US invasion of Iraq !!!
Resolution 1441 stated that Iraq was in material breach of the ceasefire terms presented under the terms of Resolution 687. Iraq's breaches related not only to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), but also the known construction of prohibited types of missiles, the purchase and import of prohibited armaments, and the continuing refusal of Iraq to compensate Kuwait for the widespread looting conducted by its troops during the 1990–1991 invasion and occupation. It also stated that "...false statements or omissions in the declarations submitted by Iraq pursuant to this resolution and failure by Iraq at any time to comply with, and cooperate fully in the implementation of, this resolution shall constitute a further material breach of Iraq's obligations."
IF RUSSIA DID NOT PLAY BALL ON THE LYBIA ISSUE AND RUSSIA DID NOT WANT THE UN TO ASK NATO TO TAKE OUT LYBIA WHY DID RUSSIA NOT USE ITS VETO RIGHT IN THE UN AND STOP ANY ACTION ????
Resolution 1441 stated that Iraq war as Iraq was in material breach of the ceasefire terms presented under the terms of Resolution 687. Iraq's breaches related not only to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), but also the known construction of prohibited types of missiles, the purchase and import of prohibited armaments, and the continuing refusal of Iraq to compensate Kuwait for the widespread looting conducted by its troops during the 1990–1991 invasion and occupation. It also stated that "...false statements or omissions in the declarations submitted by Iraq pursuant to this resolution and failure by Iraq at any time to comply with, and cooperate fully in the implementation of, this resolution shall constitute a further material breach of Iraq's obligations."
I Can go on and on but you get the point !!

Former President, (Putin's boy) Mr . Viktor Yanukovych . After he fled to Putin with billions of stolen money the Kremlin-backed politician and his cronies (made away with $40 billion in state Ukrainian assets disappear ) the idea that he remained the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state, and therefore the manner in which he was replaced was automatically illegitimate is based on those facts that Mr. Yanukovych COMMITTED outright theft for state funds and ran off to Russia with it shows 3 things
1. It proves he was and is a Russian puppet ( its funny when Russian falsely cries foul and say zeleniski is a USA puppet)
2. He ran off by his own accord to his master in moscow abandoning his position and therefore also any legitimate claim to the office of being the president ----
3. So this facts is clear evidence there was no coup d'etat
Let’s look at Ukraine’s disgraced former president, the legitimately elected Victor Yanukovych. After Victor Yanukovych he fled to Russia the idea that he remained the legitimate head of state, and therefore the manner in which he was replaced was automatically illegitimate, was commonplace. This line of thinking was heavily promulgated by his new host country for reasons that are self-evident. But was it right, or even logical, to claim this?
The legitimacy of the Yanukovych regime indeed began with a fair election, albeit an election in which the Ukrainian people had no good choices. But could that legitimacy go on unquestioned despite the blatant grand scale theft of state resources? No. Of course it could not.
Common hooligans and thugs were brought to Kyiv by the Yanukovych authorities (first recorded on Nov. 29, 2013 when the Maydan demonstrations was just a few days old) to terrorize the residents of the capital. This acts was completely in contradiction to Article 3 of the constitution that Yanukovych was elected to uphold. It was right to question Yanukovych’s legitimacy after this.
Can the legitimacy of a ruling authority survive past the blatantly illegal adoption of laws designed to end democracy and create a dictatorship? No. Of course it cannot. Yet, this is what the Yanukovych controlled Party of Regions attempted to do on Jan. 16, 2014. Later analysis of images taken in parliament that while 235 MPs were declared to have voted for these “dictatorship” laws, only about half of this number of MPs were actually in the session hall when the vote was taken (by a show of hands – also illegal.)
After such clearly anti-democratic and dishonest actions, can anyone consider that authority to be legitimate? The actions were a breach of Article 5 of Ukraine’s constitution - something that Yanukovych was under oath to protect and uphold. But he failed to keep his word.
There were more violations of the constitution by Yanukovych, its supposed protector.
Article 27 of Ukraine’s constitution says that “Every person shall have the inalienable right to life. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of life.” Yet Yuri Verbitsky, a 42 year old geologist from Lviv, was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by forces belonging to the Yanukovych regime between Jan. 22 and Jan. 25 of 2014.
That Yanukovych had already lost any legitimacy by this point should be beyond question. Later, of course, came the deaths of many more people on Jan. 18 and then Jan. 20, after which Yanukovych fled to Russia, insisting his authority and position were still legitimate. Define legitimate.
The idea that legitimacy carries on from appointment without further question is a complete fallacy. It is something that we should refuse to accept. An elected leader most certainly can lose their legitimacy through illegal and/or unconstitutional, actions. The most recent public attempt at increasing the fog blurring the distinction between legitimately elected and legitimate comes from Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Bottom line, they are not the same, although it is easy to see why Russia’s ruling clan would seek to pretend that they are.

On another side note ; Election under a gun with tanks and thugs standing over the voting boxes is not an election it can not be a free and legal election...Referendums vía gun point isn't a referendum, it's racketeering. Something that Russia knows oh so very well how to do. YOU CAN VOTE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN It will never be legal as long as Russian army is there and as lone as it is an illegal gov. put there by an occupying force
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords

THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.
Summary: former states of the USSRs are now full independent states and their borders are defined and recognized by not just the international community , the UN and intr. org. treaties and agreements but when it comes to UKRAINE Russia itself RECOGNIZED Ukraines borders and territory in the 1991 ( Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords ) and in 1994 with the Budapest Memorandum and Russian back in 1991 recognized all the other internal borders of the USSR as international boards that now defines all the other different countries sovereign statehood . Those borders Russia recognized when it came to Ukraine clearly puts Crimea within Ukrainian territorial control . Period.

The RUSSIAN MYTH
Stepan Bandera, Roman Shukhevych and all members of OUN(b) (Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists) were agents of Gestapo, SS, SD (intelligence agency of the SS and of the Nazi party) or Abwehr (military intelligence organization). They were accomplishing the orders of these services.
The Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA) was established by the special services of the Third Reich and was fighting alongside Hitler supporters.
THE HISTORICAL FACTS !
The myth originates from the incorrect understanding of events that relate to the period of time when the OUN was cooperating with the Nazi Germany in the 1930s – in the beginning of the 1940s. OUN started cooperating with Germany for geopolitical reasons – as Germany was a traditional opponent of Poland.
Back in the 1920s the Ukrainian military organization (UVO) was in touch with intelligence of the democratic Weimar Republic. As the Nazi came to power Germany became the biggest country on the European continent (except for the USSR) that was most actively pursuing the intention to change the Versailles system. It coincided with the intentions of the OUN as the countries – winners of the World War I could not map independent Ukraine. Ukrainian nationalists considered Germany as an ad-hoc ally.
Relations between OUN and Germany were not smooth. After the German-Polish Non-Aggression Pact was signed in 1934 OUN leader Yevhen Konovalets moved from Berlin to Switzerland. The same year Germany passed to Poland active OUN participant Mykola Lebid who was hiding there after OUN attempted the life of the Polish Interior Minister Bronisław Pieracki.
Finally, contrary to what the nationalists expected, Hitler agreed to the Hungarin occupation of Zakarpattia and to the Soviet occupation of the Western Ukraine. Germany was severely criticized by Ukrainian clandestine publications, for example, by Pozbudova Natsii (“Development of the Nation” – UCMC) magazine. OUN’s relations with Lithuania, who was Poland’s enemy as well, were much better.
However, Germany remained the only real power capable of challenging Poland and the USSR, that’s why after the split of OUN (into OUN(b) headed by Stepan Bandera and OUN(m) headed by Andriy Melnyk – UCMC) both the supporters of Bandera and of Melnyk continued cooperating with Germans.
OUN(b) had managed to set up the military training system for the members of its organization using its contact with Abwehr and with some generals who sympathized with the Ukrainian Resistance Movement. Ukrainian nationalists were able to get trained in the German occupation zone of Poland alongside security units at factories, workers’ units and police schools in exchange for intelligence information they were providing.
Moreover the organization established a network of military training courses not dependent on the Germans. These courses were attended by all its members including Stepan Bandera.
In February 1941 Bandera reached an oral agreement with the chief of the Abwehr admiral Wilhelm Canaris and the commander of Wermacht’s ground forces Walther von Brauchitsch as to the creation of the Ukrainian legion. Two battalions – Nachtigall and Roland were created from OUN members. They were supposed to exercise subversive and reconnaissance activities. Instead when the war started Nachtigall’s functions were limited to providing security at the strategic infrastructure objects, while Roland did not take part in the combat actions at all.
Moreover, Nachtigall’s commander from the Ukrainian side was Roman Shukhevych. When his battalion was being formed, its fighters refused to swear loyalty to Germany and instead swore loyalty to Ukraine only.
In August 1941 after repressions against the nationalists related to the Declaration of Ukrainian State Act started the Nazi reorganized Nachtigall and Roland.
The Germans reorganized part of the battalion’s personnel into the 201st police battalion that was safeguarding the Nazi base positions and counteracting the Soviet partisans in Belarus between March and December 1942. In contrast to Nachtigall and Roland, the setup of the 201st battalion was not agreed with OUN(b), Ukrainian combatants were enlisting in it not to get arrested.
On December 1, 1942 battalion fighters refused to continue their service. Then the Nazi dissolved the unit and arrested the officers. Shukhevych was arrested but succeeded to escape, he became the military “referent” (responsible for military training) of OUN(b) and later became the head of the organization.
One needs not overestimate the importance of cooperation between OUN(b) and Abwehr. As a rule Abwehr was recruiting OUN members individually, while the command of the OUN was making use of it and was giving the agents tasks of their own.
The nature of these ties was pragmatic and ad-hoc, when both sides were only pursuing their own benefits without any political implications. In April 1941 Gestapo chief Heinrich Müller said to his colleague from SD Walter Schellenberg that “Ukrainian nationalistic leaders are moving to their goals in an uncontrolled way.”
Right after the German offensive on the USSR on June 23, 1941, OUN(b) sent to the Reich Chancellery a memorandum on how the Ukrainian issue should be resolved after the dissolution of the USSR. The document said: “Even if the German troops after they enter Ukraine will surely be greeted as liberators, the situation might change soon if Germany comes to Ukraine not for the purpose of restoring the Ukrainian statehood and not with the mottos expected.” Already at that point Bandera supporters foresaw a possibility of the anti-German armed resistance should Germany take an unfriendly position towards Ukraine’s independence.
Thus, despite the military cooperation with Germany OUN(b) was pursuing their own political line that the Nazi were not aware of. A good example of such behavior was Declaration of Ukrainian State Act of June 30, 1941 in Lviv. It came as a surprise for Hitler’s supporters as independent Ukraine was never part of the Third Reich’s plans. On July 5, 1941 the Nazi arrested Bandera, on July 9 – head of the newly established government Yaroslav Stetsko.
In July-August the occupants were pushing on OUN(b) so that they call back the Act of June 30. However, Ukrainians firmly refused and were sent to prison in Berlin. Between September 15, 1941 and the end of the same year the German punitive agencies arrested about 1,500 Bandera supporters. On November 25, 1941 the security police issued an order to arrest and execute the activists of the “Bandera group” who “were about to stage a riot in the Reich Commissariat Ukraine aiming at establishing an independent Ukrainian state.”
The military training delivered by Germans became later of use during the anti-German fight that OUN and UPA were conducting through 1942-1944. Many veterans of Nachtigall, Roland and of the 201st police battalion became part of UPA as instructors or military commanders. Personnel of the first UPA Staff including chief commander Vasyl Ivakhiv, chief of staff Yulian Kovalsky and aide-de-camp of the staff Semen Snyatetsky got killed in combat with the Germans on May 13,
1943. The last two were former Nachtigall officers.
It is unlikely that the agents and puppets of the special services would be fighting against their leaders and sponsors. Seeing OUN(b) command as agents or as those who were accomplishing the orders of German special services without any hesitation is not correct. OUN had their own logic of fighting, the ultimate goal of which was an independent Ukrainian state.
All efforts including military cooperation with the Germans were set to achieve this task. OUN was hiding their plans from the Nazi. That’s why the Declaration of Ukrainian State Act of June 30, 1941 became a moment of truth in relations between OUN and Germany. It became obvious that the German Nazi and the Ukrainian nationalists were actually enemies.

RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination like a type of 2nd class country; that is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country, that indirectly will serving the kremlins geopolitical agenda, and so Kremlin, the RuZZians and Putin can feel better about themselves ...
All the Eastern European countries has more or less joined NATO because they was scared of Russia and want make sure they will stay independent, (and the same goes for the EU financial independence ) Nobody forced Eastern European countries to join , NATO or the EU all of them came running and begging and knocking on the door of NATO and EU by themselves, asking and begging to be let into The EU and NATO !!
Russia invading Ukriane back 2014 and Georgia back in 2008 and now all out war with Ukraine from 2022++ just showed, why it was and still is a good idea for those Eastern European countries to join NATO, and the EU because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well .
During Soviet times those Eastern countries where nothing but quasi Russia puppet states and where totally exploited by Russia under under its heel and boot. If those eastern European countries didn't join NATO then they couldn't have guaranteed their own future continuous independence from Russia by themselves . Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure their independence !!!

Russian Wagner Trained Hamas Militants for Attack on Israel,
The Kremlin’s fingerprints were all over Mohammed Deif and Hamas’s mass execution of more than 1,300 Israelis on October 7th. To understand who was behind the attack, intelligence analysts consider the Latin phrase “cui bono” – to whom is it a benefit?
The answer is Russia. Gaza, in effect, was just another bloody stop on Russian President Vladimir Putin’s worldwide distraction tour.
The fingerprints include multiple trips by Hamas senior officials to Moscow, training of Hamas militants by PMC Wagner mercenaries on “small unit tactics and the use of small unmanned aerial vehicles to drop explosive devices on to vehicles,” the launch of distributed denial-of-service attacks against Israeli government websites during the attack to disrupt a coordinated government response, a disinformation campaign linking weapons used in the attack by
Hamas as sold on the black market by Ukraine, an immediate call by Russian foreign ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova for Palestine and Israel to implement a “ceasefire, renounce violence, exercise the necessary restraint and establish, with the assistance of the international community, a negotiation process aimed at establishing a comprehensive, lasting and long-awaited peace in the Middle East,” and a platform on Telegram where millions of dollars were raised in cryptocurrency to fund Hamas.
Russia has "handed over" Western weaponry captured from Ukrainian fighters to Hamas militants fighting in southern Israel and the Gaza Strip, military intelligence agency has said.

It might be useful to recap some of the reason why Russia is now an outcast :
Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade; Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU;
Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries;
Provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace;
Russia's interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia;
Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers;
Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory;
Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region;
Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation";
Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict;
Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people;
Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006;
Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018;
among lots of other things to much to even list up ..
NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!

THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.

GIVING A SURRENDER IS NOT A PEACE DEAL ITS A SHAKE DOWN !!!! Anyone can make a peace deal when they surrender, which is what Trump is asking Ukraine to do. Trump and his admin appear to be Putin's lifeline.
Trump is trying to force Ukraine into a capitulation a total surrender ; masquerading as a" PEACE DEAL " its not a peace deal when only one side must give up everything and the other side gets everything it wants ; and it defiantly not a peace deal when one side must give a 3rd party 50% of its natural resources and get nothing in return !!
This a MAFIA tactic it is putting a gun to someones head and telling them take this deal now; becouse either your brains or your signature will be on the document your choice !
ITS A SHAKE DOWN NOT A PEACE DEAL !!
TRUMP HAS :
- undermining democracy in the US by dismantling the division of forces (lawmaking, judiciary and executive). The core of any democracy. Clearly only benefits Russia
- tariffs hurt everybody (also US) but NOT Russia.
- creating international instability with his talks on Greenland, Canada and Panama. Typical Russian doctrine. If they fight amongst each-other, they don't focus on Russia. You just need to give them something to fight about. THIS ONLY BENEFITS RUSSIA
- his wife Melania was born and raised in communist Yugoslavia. Is she his agent handler??
Its obvious what happened. A US president tried to shake down a foreign leader for mineral rights in Ukraine. The USA has abandoned its leadership role in the world and is now just for sale.
The Republicans have lost their minds and perhaps their souls. Siding with Russia and trying to force Ukraine to accept an unjust "peace" without any security guarantees, other than you give us 50% of your natural resources rare metals your lithium, cobalt, scandium, graphite, tantalum, and niobium in Ukraine and Putin will never attack you because our companies are inside your country !!!!
WOW its was that easy all a long to scare off Putin just send American companies into Ukraine!! LOL ..... That the guarantee thats what they are now telling Zelenskyy this is what Trump and Vance are trying to sell Zelenskyy this is what they say is a security ;
WOW thats fantastic then why did the US. need to send all those weapons in the first place should have just sent in Microsoft, Ford motor company , Heinz Tomato Ketchup , Coca Cola , Mac Donalds. together with some big boys like Conoco Philips, Hecla Mining, Chevron and Goldman Sachs and last but not least The Walt Disney Company!! I hear Mickey Mouse big ears really scares Putin to death -- THEY TRYING TO PLAY UKRAINE AND FOR FOOLS SO WHO IS BEING DISRESPECTFUL HERE !!

Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukriane Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries where nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..
Also these people who advocate this view that Ukriane shroud just give up land and appeasement to Russians wants wishes are also being very ignorant to the fact that there were already treaties in place between Russia and Ukraine where Russia respecting the integrity of Ukraine's borders plus other treaties relating to the seas around Ukraine.
Putin has already broken those treaties.
Why would Ukraine believe Putin would stick to a new treaty when he's just broken half a dozen of the previous Russia Ukraine treaties and agreements.
Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.

The Black Sea countries are many!! And Then Black Sea does not belong to Russia that’s a myth !!
Bulgaria, (NATO )
Romania (NATO)
Turkey (NATO)
Ukraine (NATO partner )
Georgia (NATO partner)
So in-fact ANY NATO country members navy and or air force is within their full right to sail and be within the Black Sea, as non of the Black Sea Nations (That have a real and legal int. recognized cost-line not like Russia ) have any problem with NATO ships being in their waters and even the non NATO members like Ukraine and Georgia, even more so then the NATO nations, want and are begging for more NATO ships to come and be in the BLACK SEA !
(NATO nations of the black sea are in-fact real black sea nations not like Russia stealing land then claiming to be the owner of that land and sea )
Coastline length to the black see by country/ Country Coastline length (km)
Turkey 1,329km (NATO)
Ukraine 2,782km (NATO partner )
Bulgaria 354km (NATO)
Georgia 310km (NATO partner )
Romania 225km (NATO)
(And lets not forget the last time when "Russia" got closer to NATO it was in-fact Russia own doing, by invading and annexing Crimea in 2014 "Russia" came right up-to and ended inside the NATO countries BLACK SEA maritime territorial waters !!)
And her is a thought .. If every neighbor you have is running to NATO begging NATO to let them join; is it becouse you are such a nice and good neighbor?
Or is it because you act like a bully and are aggressive and invade your neighbors lands sending in troops and tanks Hungary 1956, Czechoslovakia 1968, Poland 1980 Moldova 1990-91, Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014 ++ and now 2022+++ all of Ukraine !!
Russia eats eats eats its victims and then blame the victims for eating them !!...
Maybe if you act in a more nicer way, then your neighbors will liked you more and maybe your neighbors in your neighborhood will want to be around you as well ..

PUTINS SAY UKRAINIANS ARE RUSSIANS THIS IS A LIE AT BEST A MYTH RUSSIA NEVER SHOWED ITS UGLY FACE BEFORE 1721 AFTER IT WAS PROCLAIMED BY PETTER AND THE CAPITAL OF THIS NEW NATION WAS ST. PETERSBURG..
Peter made "Russia " he did this after Treaty of Frederiksborg (1720), and the Russo-Swedish Treaty of Nystad (1721) and after the battle of Poltava...that is when Russia became Russia.. Another thing is what we today call Russians are not Russians as they are not Slavic like Ukrainians or Polish people read on to get the facts,,,,,,
United States as a nation began with the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 - as well as a century and a half earlier, when a group of English Puritans landed on Plymouth Rock in 1620.
All nations have a story to tell how they came into being. Some are rooted in ancient history while others, including numerous new nations that arose on the ruins of European colonial expansion, tie their emergence to more recent events. But whether mythical or historical, those origins are always connected to the land those nations inhabit.
Not so Russia. It may be the only major nation to locate its origins in a foreign country. Every Russian school kid learns that his country’s history began on the banks of the Dnipro, in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.
It is as if Americans had decided to trace their history back in the time of William the Conqueror in 1066 when he started England or the War of the Roses Englands fist civil-war . LOL
This may seem like a minor thing, but it explains a great deal in the average Russian’s attitude toward Ukrainians. If Russia is a direct descendant of historic Kyivan Rus, how can another nation equally trace its origins to it - a nation, moreover, still occupying the same territory?
Vladimir Putin recently declared that Ukrainians and Russians are “one folk” - meaning, of course, that Ukrainians are Russian. An extraordinary number of his countrymen share this belief. Imagine a prime minister of the United Kingdom insisting that Americans are not a nation but merely Brits with funny accents. But it is even more ridiculous than that: it’s as though the Italian president would lay claim on Spain - or one of Spain’s former colonies in Latin America - asserting that the Spanish language is a bastardized form of Italian.
Russia’s attitude to Ukraine and things Ukrainian reflects deeply ingrained imperial complexes, revealing that, while the Soviet Empire collapsed in 1991, the Russian Empire still lingers in the minds of the citizens of the Russian Federation. And, one of the strangest things this past year has been the number people with Ukrainian surnames, many of them also born in Ukraine but now living in Russia, who spew hatred for their native land.
What we know today to be Russians are nothing more than Finnish nomadic tribes that assimilated with the Mongolian horde in the 1200 They are not Slavic people like Ukrainians or Polish people even if they claim to be, and therefore have no real claim to Slavic lands or history .. But descendants from finish nomadic tribes that assimilated with the Mongolian.
The Russians brainwashed just continue to brainwash everyone, when they assert that Kyivan Rus was the cradle of three sibling nations – Russians, Ukrainians and Belarus; and that because the Russians are “older brothers”, they have the right to the legacy of Kyivan Rus. To this day, Russian historians and officials make use of this woeful lie, which is repeated by Putin in his propaganda today .
Here are the facts:
At the time of the Kyivan Empire there was no mention of a Moscow nation in history Russia was not a part of history before 1721 when it was proclaimed be peter the grate It is well known that Moscow was created in 1277 as a subservient vassal region or ‘ulus’ to the Golden Horde, established by the Khan Mengu-Timur. By that time, Ukrainians city of Kiev and the Ukrainians peoples the Kyivan Rus had existed for more than 300 years.
There are no indications of any connection of Ukrainians peoples the Kyivan Rus with the Finnish ethnic groups in the land of ‘Moksel’ what today we know as Russia or the later of the Moscow principality with the Principality of Kyivan Rus up until the XVI century. At the time when the Ukrainians peoples (Kyivan Rus ) had officially accepted Christianity, the Finn tribes in ‘Moksel’ today's Russia was still was living in a semi-primitive nomadic state.
Russians are NOT slavic it is a myth and it is been debunk by DNA
Anyone believing any thing else is totally brainwashed; Ukrainians ARE ETHNIC SLAVS like the Polish..
Their is No such thing as a ethnic slavic Russia they are nothing but decentness of Finish nomadic tribes living around the north part of the Moscow River that assimilated with the Mongolians in other words Todays Russian are a mix of Mongolian and Finns....
How can anyone speak of ‘an older brother’ when that ‘older brother’ did not first appear until centuries after Rus-Ukrainians? He has no moral right to call himself an ‘older brother’, nor to dictate how people are to live, nor to force his culture, language, and world views.
see link How Russians stole the history of the Ukrainian russ slavs
www.euromaidanpress.com/2014/05/14/how-moscow-hijacked-the-history-of-kyivan-rus/
Russians er nothing more than confused Mongolians that must have some sort of dimwit Syndrome thinking they are from Ukrainian Kiev Russ and Slavic background..
The DNA study of today's so called Russians shows that the historical facts are that Russians are Mongoloid / Finno-Ugric descendants and NOT Slavic like Ukrainians and polish people ...
The DNA evidence proves that Russians without a doubt are Mongoloid / Finno-Ugric descendants ..
THE R1a explanation for dummy's Russians have is R1a-Z93 is the main Asian branch of R1a.
Western and Northern European and also western Ukrainians have R1a -Z280 - R1a -Z284 falls under the root R1a1a1* (M417), So this proves Russians are Asian NOT Europeans..
Russians er nothing more then Mongolians with Down Syndrome thinking they are from Kiev Russ and Slavic background when the DNA study of today's so called Russians shows that the historical facts are they they are Mongoloid / Finno-Ugric descendents and NOT Slavic...
The Mongolian Y-DNA (paternal) haplogroup R1a-Z93 and is the main Asian branch of R1a. and its offshoots are very common and the dominant gen among Russian men.
Studies have found the ethnic Russian frequency of R1a -Z93 is high as 62.7 percent, with an average of 46.7% and finish N1c of Russians in the "Russia-DNA Project" include N1c R1a1, R1a1a, R1a1a1g, and R1a1a1g2.

THE MYTH … The USSR defeated-nazigermany without the help of allies. The Russian forces could have won the war without the help of other nationalities of the Soviet Union
THE TRUTH Soviet textbooks described the role of Soviet allies in the war in a rather superficial manner. While they are blamed for allowing the occupation of the Czech republic and waited till the last moment to open up the Second front, little is said about US help as part of the lend-lease program.
During the Cold War, this myth was particularly important, as it elevated the contribution of the Soviet Union and diminished the contributions of its allies who were now on the other side of the Iron Wall. Today, in line with the growing isolation of Russia from the West, this myth is once again accentuated, one recent example being the book of now-Minister of Culture of Russia Volodymyr Medynsky “War. Myths of the USSR. 1939-1945.”
In reality, the lend-lease was one of the decisive factors in the victory of the Allied forces against the Axis. The USSR, and Russia as its successor, still has not repaid its debt for the lend-lease to the USA.
According to different estimates, western equipment added up to:
* 12-16% of the equipment of the Soviet armored troops;
* 10-15% of USSR’s aviation
* 32.4% of its Navy.
Up to 70% of the transport of the Soviet army came from the USA, meaning that the Soviet army drove around mainly on US cars. While the USSR released only 600 trucks for mounting “Katyusha” mortars, the USA contributed 20,000 American Studebaker trucks, making it the main vehicle for Soviet artillery. Apart from that, the lend-lease program gave USSR 56% of its railroad tracks and 43% of tires; 42% of it sugar, 108% of meat preserves, 18% of aviation fuel.
The amount of locomotives that the West provided exceeded the USSR’s production by 2.4 times and the amount of train cars – by 10.2 times. The amount of food that the USSR received as part of the lend-lease would have been enough to feed a 10-million army over 1688 days, i.e. the whole course of the war.
THE MYTH…. For the USSR, World War II started on 22 June 1941. The proper name of the war is the “Great Patriotic War,” because the USSR was defending itself against the-nazzi-invasion
THE TRUTH .. In reality , the USSR started the war on 17 September 1939, when the Red Army crossed the border with Poland, occupying it in accordance to the union between the Third Reich and Soviet Union, outlined by the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. “German and Soviet troops walked hand in hand. This was called a ‘military brotherhood’ in the USSR, before the war broke out,” noted Oleksandr Zinchenko from the Institute of National Memory. After Hitler started the war in Europe, the USSR provided economic assistance to-nazigermany-The USSR attempted to conceal these facts of collaboration with Hitler with the concept of the “Great Patriotic War,” which started out as a mere ideological cliché pronounced by Joseph Stalin during a radio broadcast on 3 July 1941, after-nazigermany-invaded Soviet Ukraine.
Today, the concept of “Great Patriotic War” is being used by the Russian Federation as an alternative to World War II in attempts to maintain its influence on Ukraine and post-Soviet republics.
THE MYTH.. The USSR is an innocent victim of German aggression and was always an enemy of the-nazzis-and did not work with them
THE TRUTH..: The USSR signed a non-aggression pact with-nazigermany-the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, that not only defined broad economic cooperation with the Third Reich and agreement on mutual non-aggression, but also contained a secret protocol by which the USSR and Germany agreed to divide up Europe.
During Soviet times, and in Russia today, the existence of the-nazi–Soviet-pact was explained as a necessity that came only after fruitless negotiations with Britain and France, and that the invasions of Poland were unconnected to the pact. In fact, Stalin willingly ruined attempts to establish an anti-Hitler coalition. During 12-21 August 1939, negotiations with Britain and France about collaborating to meet growing security challenges associated with the Third Reich took place in Moscow, but did not amount to an agreement because the Soviet leadership demanded the right to occupy Poland’s regions Halychyna and Vilenska Oblast (today, western regions of Ukraine and Belarus), which the other side could not condone.
Both Stalin and Hitler were unsatisfied with the world order that came about after World War I, which made their collaboration natural. On 19 August 1939, Stalin spoke about the necessity to urge Europe into a great war, which would be an overture to a “world revolution;” on 23 August 1939, the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was signed, outlining broad economic cooperation between the USSR and the Third Reich, and violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a range of independent countries.
In addition to the stated clauses of the Molotov-Ribbentrop non-aggression pact, a secret protocol was adopted, dividing territories of Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Finland into German and Soviet “spheres of influence”, anticipating potential “territorial and political rearrangements” of these countries. The Kremlin denied the existence of the secret protocol to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact up to 1992.
The Soviet-nazi-military collaboration is undeniably clear in photographs from the German–Soviet military parade in Brest-Litovsk on 22 September 1939 during the invasion of Poland.
The pact had the most tragic consequences for European nations and the world; it is this agreement that became the mechanism opening the doors for a new world war. What followed was the invasion of Poland by-nazigermany-and the USSR, followed by the further carving up of Europe.

IT WAS NOT ETHNIC RUSSIAN THAT DIED FIGHTING THE NAZIS it was Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia and the other nations that was forced into the USSR and put in the front lines as cannon fodder the ethnic Russians was the NKVD cowards shooting everyone else in the backs the ethnic Russians was in the NKVD and was officers and in supply units behind the lines not getting used a cannon fodder !!
Also let us not forget the fact the it was the Stalin and RuSSia that made it possible for Hitler to build up his nazi army by giving him iron-ore and other need goods from 1939-1941 the soviet union was the strongest and most important partner of nazi Germany ..
It was only after June 1941 when Hitler turned on his good buddy Stalin and attacked the USSR that Stalin came running to the west for help and the west said yes ok we will let you fight with us they did this well knowing that Stalin helped Hitler build his army and also because the west was thinking in terms like my enemy's enemy is my friend policy and tactic
Russians living in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. I really think that the Russians aren’t the ones to lecture ANYONE about fascism, or anything else for that matter, especially since RuSSians was the ones that signed the pact with the-devil [nazigermany] and started World War II… and even today RuSSia are still glorifying Stalin... Hitlers good buddy in 1937-1941 Hitler and Stalin started ww2 together when they invaded Poland together.
The RuZZians were the cowards who shot their own troops in the backs to press other forward infront like a human shields and canon-fodder.
YES they did shoot their own troops in the backs But they did NOT shoot ethnic Russians in the backs as most of that scum was officers and in logistics and the NKVD doing the shooting...
The ethnic Russian was the pathetic cowards that was shooting other Soviets in the back.....
And why did this happen you ask !
Answer : Becouse Stalin did not trust Ukrainians (and other none ethnic Russians )(remember he had only 8 years before Stalin had killed 10 mill Ukrainians in a genocide called the holodomor )
So what did Stalin do before ww2 he made a purge and killed all officers of non ethnic Russians decent in the Army and replaced them with ethnic Russians and made all others that was not ethnic Russians in low level positions in other worlds as cannon fodder for the german artillery and targets for german bullets... this was the Ukrainians, Belorussians , Uzbeks , Moldovan’s ect ect ect .. this is who was fighting and geting killed this is who was fighting the-nazi-not ethnic Russians they was in the safe jobs like NKVD ect ect ect ... back in the reserve army and as administrators ect ect..
Why do you think the Kremlin always say Russians died and not soviets died ?????
They do this to cover up this facts I have stated above and for Russia to take the honor from the people who really did the fighting..Russians and Russia have no shame !!

A GOOD EXS. OF THE LEND -LEASE DEAL IS THE STUDEBAKER TRUCK
Of that total 200,000 built between 1941 -1945 the United States shipped 152,000 trucks to the Soviet Union, mainly through the Persian Corridor.
(The Studebaker US6 (G630) was a series of 2 1⁄2-ton 6×6 and 5-ton 6×4 trucks manufactured by the Studebaker Corporation and REO Motor Car Company during World War II. The basic cargo version was designed to transport a 2 1⁄2-short-ton (5,000 lb; 2,300 kg) cargo load over any type of terrain in any weather. Most of these were exported to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease by the USA during World War II,
The US6 was manufactured primarily for export under Lend-Lease. The Soviet Union would become the largest foreign operator. The first Studebaker US6 trucks arrived in the USSR in the autumn of 1941. The Red Army organized a test of eleven 6×6 "Studebekkers" (as they become referred to in the USSR) which took place between July 1942 and May 1943.
Large numbers of Studebaker US6 trucks were supplied to the Soviet Union via the Persian Corridor in Iran under the USA's Lend-Lease program. The truck fulfilled many important roles in service with Soviet military forces during the war, such as towing artillery pieces and anti-tank guns and transporting troops over long distances. It was renowned for its overall ruggedness and reliability, including its ability to run on poor-quality fuel. The Soviet Red Army also found them to be a suitable platform for conversion into Katyusha rocket launchers, The truck became affectionately known as the Studer by Soviet troops and was even recognised of its importance (to the Soviet war effort) by Joseph Stalin, who sent a personal letter of appreciation to Studebaker, in which he thanked it for the superb quality of the US6 for Soviet service.
Some Studebaker US6 trucks that were shipped to the Soviet Union during WWII and decommissioned from service after 1945 had their cabs and plumage taken off and used in the prototypes of the GAZ-51 truck, which eventually underwent mass production in 1946. The construction of the Studebaker US6 strongly influenced the construction of the postwar ZIS-151 truck, which then evolved into the ZIL-157 truck which remained in production up until 1995.

Putin did not begin the undercover proxy-war in 2014 so that it would end in peace, independency and prosperity for Ukraine and its people. and he did not start a all out war in 2022 for the independency and prosperity for Ukraine and its people
This war does not hinder Putin, it facilitates his goals instead.
Putin started it so it would end with the defeat of Ukraine and the Ukrainian peoples/ nations aspirations of true self-government true independence and democratic nation, that was fare away from the hegemony control and orbit of Russia … IN OTHER words with our collapse of Ukrainian society.
It helps him keep Ukraine on the Kremlin hook and hegemony control and helps Putin feel himself as an influential leader negotiating with the West. So, why would he need peace?
And before someone starts up about Russia right to protect itself from the "western incursion and decadent western incorrectness of political arrogance" (whatever that means ) and therefor Russian needs a "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine "
Let me ask you this ; Who gives Putin the right to have "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine " we live in 2022 not 1822 ??? What about the people who live in "that so called sphere of interest" that is the sovereign country of Ukraine don't they (the Ukrainian ppl.) have an " sphere of interest in Ukraine itself " ?
Shall the Ukrainians just bend their knee and behave as slaves, and become some sort of quasi 2nd class nation/ country, and have their society run under the heal and accept being kicked by Kremlin's boot of the " sphere of Russian interest " ; Should Ukraine just roll over and let Russia controlled Ukraine for the sole benefit of Putins klan agenda and the geo political intrs. of the Moscow Kremlin kleptocracy elites?: And let Ukraine become some sort of quasi geographical entity for political advantages of the Kremlin ? Or should Ukraine stand up and fight against such tyrannical things as PUTINS "sphere of interest" as the independent European self governing state it is FIGHT for freedom, sovereignty and self-rule ??
FACT !!! Ukraine was forced into this war by Russia not Russia by Ukraine (or anyone else ) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has no choice he needs to now be the president of a country, that is in a war defending its country and ppl. against a brutal evil aggressor. And the authorities of the aggressor country do not want any peace.
(If the Russia army stops fighting today and goes home back to Russia tomorrow there will be NO war If Ukraine stops fighting today there will be NO Ukraine !! )
Russians doesn't want to be a part of the western democracy thats fine Ukraine does Ukrainian society has nothing good to say about marximen or wokeisem or Russian imperialism they among Ukraine's stand absolutely equal and are seen with the disdain, loathing and contempt !!!
But like I say if Russia has no intrs. and they feel Russia society values and norms living is so much better than the despicable arrogant western world, just stay in Russia stop living inside the west stop buying houses , sending your kids to western schools for a western education and holidays to the western world and stop using western products and technology no prob you go do you; you go be Russia no one is stopping you !!
Why not try and stop emulating the west will at the same time rejecting the west and then on top of it claiming to be its equal .. here is a thought if you are the emulating the west you are a copy and a copy is just hard core evidence that the original is the better !! If your Russki Mir (Russian World ideology of imperialism and expansionism ) was better than the western world; why do you not 100% just stick to being Russian why are you emulating everything that is western !! The answer is clear because its better than your Russki Mir !!
Ukraine, Georgia , Moldova the Baltic's and the rest of Eastern Europe don't want your Russian world (KGB Putin Stalinism strong man BS ) they want western democracy freedom and choice so let them make their own future there own mistakes and there own success those ppl. countries and nations don't want your Moscow /Kremlin HEGEMONY called Russki Mir or your so called Russian greatness of special rights of so called 3rd Rome !!
Let's take a look at Ukraine and the same goes for Georgia and other countries that Moscow wants to bully and kick around !!
Ukraine is a sovereign nation with rights and should be free to govern itself. Russia as a political entity has never had the best interest of the Ukraine and its people at heart. The Ukrainians have a distinct and rich culture, their own language, and a desire for self-rule, liberty and freedom to make decisions of its own.
Russia wants to control Ukraine so it can obtain its resources for its own benefit (as has happened throughout history). Ukraine in its east and south has in-fact the 3rd biggest oil and gas reservers in Europe and should those resources start getting taped and sold to the west then Russia has a massive competitor on its hands for the European market !! You don't believe me google Ukraine shield gas reserves !!
Russian control has never been for the benefit of the Ukrainian people. BUT HERE"S THE REAL POINT: even if it had been, Ukraine is still a sovereign nation and has the right to rule itself!!!
The Russian state has sought to control Ukraine and to deceive the rest of the world into believing that there is no Ukrainian culture or language, and that Ukraine is simply a dissident Russian state through use of propaganda and oppression has repeatedly attempted to wipe out the Ukrainian people and culture.
Do I need to mention the millions of Ukrainians killed by the Russian government? The fear and repression of Ukraine under Russian rule? The families lost behind the "Iron Curtain?"
The Holodomor genocide when Russia killed 10 mill Ukrainians in 1933 - 1934 and after that replaced then with ethnic Russians manly in the east of Ukraine (todays Donbas ) for crying out loud?
And that is why after 1991 the Ukrainians rally around their rich and beautiful culture - because it is THEIRS. And because they deserve a voice of their own, and to live free from the oppression of foreign state that seeks to exploit and obliterate them!
Russian controlled soviet union former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect ...couldn't wait to join NATO and the EU to get as fare away from Russian hegemony control as fast as the possibly can at the time .
If the Russians weren't suchaaaaholes, they wouldn't have to worry about EU NATO and former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect running too the front door of EU and NATO .
(PS : yes i agree not all is perfect in the west but is why better and has always been why better than anything Russia has come up with in history ; And that is why ppl from all over the world (including Russians ) move to Europe ,UK and US in the millions !! ; For all its faults that the western world has and it has a few, it still is 10000 times better than Russia , Africa or china !!! I mean no one is building a wall to hold ppl. inside like Russian controlled Soviet Union did the US is in fact building walls to stop ppl. for coming inn and so dose European countries as well )j

Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda and so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukriane Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries where nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..

Bandera was not personally part of the genocide the evidence clearly shows that Bandera had nothing to do with it ... BANDERA WAS a prisoner (POW) of war when the massacre in Volhynia happened..so how is Bandera responsible ????
The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists under the leadership of Stepan Bandera decided to fight against the Hitler after they was arrested in 1941.
Now that is NOT much collaboration now is it.... AND THAT IS WHY Stepan Bandera was arrested by the GERMANS and sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp because Bandera was not collaborating with the nazis it is a
Myth and propaganda used by Moscow and some times the anti Ukraine elements inside Poland to direct Ukrainian independence..
The German high command in Ukraine sent a memo saying that all functionaries of the Bandera Movement must be arrested at once and, after thorough interrogation, are to be liquidated...".
On July 5, Bandera was arrested and transferred to Berlin.
On July 12, the president of the newly formed Ukrainian state, Yaroslav Stetsko, was also arrested and taken to Berlin. In January 1942,
Bandera was transferred to Sachsenhausen concentration camp's special barrack for high-profile political prisoners Zellenbau
Bandera was in a German KZ camp Sachsenhausen concentration camp from 1941-1944
NOW if you are sent to a KZ camp YOU ARE NOT a friend of Hitler are you AND IF YOU ARE inn a concentration camp from 1941 to the end of 1944 YOU can not be held responsible for the Volhynia massacre that happened in 1943 !!!!
AND LETS US ALSO NOT FORGET THAT MORE AND MORE new evidence is coming to light saying that it was NKVD dressed up as UPA /OUN that did the massacre in Volhynia in 1943.. But this is still not 100% proven yet,,,,

To put things in perspective, Ukraine had 176 ICBMs and over 2000 tactical nukes along with bombers able to carry them. They gave it all up in exchange for security guarantees from USA, UK and Russia ( Budapest Memorandum 1994 ). One would say that assisting Ukraine now when its being invaded should be obvious thing to do when you signed up on their security and they gave up literally thousands nukes...
Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!!
There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since Word War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would. And it’s because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. -- Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

Some important Voltaire Quotes we need to remember in out time ..
* Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. ...
* To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.
And what is the truth? let's look at some facts !
Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed
Mr, Martin Luther King once said :
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

NATO is a "threat" to Russia in the sense that a cop on the beat is a "threat" to a mugger. NATO wouldn't have been formed in the first place if Stalin had not rejected the US offer of the same Marshall Plan which so benefited the rest of Europe everywhere it was instituted, Russia / Stalin was instead bent every effort to CONQUER and dominate European neighboring states and expand Russia, borders with its concept of "sphere of influence " over the near abroad..
We need to understand that Russia didn't come to encompass 11% of earth's land area, by being invaded by other countries; Russia did so by invading far more other countries, than it was itself invaded by ; Remember Russia is a Federation of states , and the Russian part of that federation is the smallest state in the "Russian federation.".
(Russia with a total area of 17,098,242 Km² (6,601,665 mi²) and a land area of 16,376,870 Km² (6,323,142 mi²), equivalent to 11% of the total world's landmass )
In history MANY and ALL countries have been invaded frequently by their neighbors throughout all of history. Was Russia invaded more than France? Germany? Poland in HISTORY ? NO IT WAS NOT !!!
So this acting the victim, (west always invades Russia act ) when it comes to the west, that Kremlin does all the time, .
This buhhh the evil-west AGGRESSIVE west always invades us always is attacking us Buhhhh; This is why we see western NATO as a danger buhhhh !!!! THIS TYPE OF ACTING THE VICTIM is absolute and nothing more and less than Kremlin BS it is done so you overlook the fact that it is Russia that invades other not vise versa and to pull the smoke over your eyes !!! ..
Do i need to mention all of eastern Europe was under brutal Russian regime, hegemonic control for over 50 years .. ?? And that historical Russia has invaded and occupied way more of its neighbors then vice versa !
Russia says NATO is using Ukraine as a nuke base and therefore letting Ukraine into NATO is to close to Russian borders!!
But if you take a closer look at the argument it turns out to be absolute BS argument (even before Finland and Sweden join NATO ) because NATO is and was already 150 km away to St Petersburg via Estonia and 500 km via Latvia to Moscow (there is about 800 km from Ukraine to the Russia's capital so how is NATO getting closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO !!) the concerns of the Russian Federation regarding the possible admission of the Ukraine to NATO is merely a cover for a fear of democracy developing on its frontiers and therefor a threat to Putin dictator like leadership the modern authoritarian obsession with civil society repression dates back to how all NON-rational agent/ or rational being like exs KGB Putin is and how this paranoid ppl like him think and acts in other words "You Can’t Assume a Nut Will Act Rationally," and a nut that is manic-paranoid and narcissistic like KGB Putin is a special kind of nut !! .
The argument of Moscow that Ukraine borders are dangerously close to Russia and its capital so Ukraine cannot join NATO It is absolutely irrelevant in this day and age!!!
Ukraine has no intrs, in becoming a hegemony Puppet on a string country of Moscow geopolitical needs in fact Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation and Ukraine is no exception to that rule .
So why is this NUKE platform country argument by Moscow a BS agreement in this day and age ??
Well becouse Russia has also had and always will have at all times some Russian nuclear submarines plant off the cost of western nations coastlines armed with nuclear warheads YES !! they are load up with tactical nukes missiles and those subs are there 365 days a year undetected and reddy to launch the nukes or/and even drones with small nukes from there lunch base platforms ( Russia has its subs on nations porch as Putin likes to say)
So Putin's reasons are weak to say the least its a BS argument becouse NATO also has nuclear subs of the Russian consline so like Putin also says they (Nato ) has nukes on our porch (on the Russian borders act act ) of our beloved city of Moscow and Russia we need to react !.. .

Look at some facts
Ukraine only 17,3% ethnic Russian
Latvia only 26% ethnic Russian
Lithuania only 2,5% ethnic Russian
Estonia only 25,2 % ethnic Russian
Moldova only 5.8% ethnic Russian
Georgia only 1,5 % ethnic Russian
The % is not big in most of the nation's above but when it comes to how much this Russian scum demand of influence and how much they are screaming if you did not know the facts you will think they are almost the majority of the populations.
Take Lithuania as an good exs. in that country ethnic RuSSians are ONLY 2,5% that represents ONLY 50,460 people that are ethnic Russians and Russians are NOT the biggest ethnic group in-fact after Lithuanians it is Jews that take 2nd place as the biggest ethnic group in Lithuania with 7,6% of the population that represents 153,743 that is 3 times bigger than Russians and we don’t see the jews shouting out that their language (Hebrew) must have a special status in education, schools and that gov. documents must be written in Hebrew and TV and Radio must also be in Hebrew, street signs must be written Hebrew and that Hebrew must have special protected statues rights within Lithuania like
Russians are shouting about that they demand and want in Lithuania for their Russian language now do we …??
NO WE DONT !! becouse the Jewish population in Lithuania understand and respect that Lithuanians are the rightful owners and ppl. of Lithuania and they respect that fact..
SO THE QUESTION must be: Why is there always a problem with ethnic Russians all the time and why do they think they can demand special status for themselves and special status for Russian language who do they think they are ???

The western feminist females have been supporting (for their own anti male agenda) for years this transgender and Lgbtq ++ movement!!!
The truth is that females have been using the Lgbtq ++ movement as a sledgehammer to hammer down on what they call toxic masculinity ( basically anything male or seen as manly ) to demonize the heterosexual males (and especially white heterosexual males) and they have been doing it for years pushing masculinity into the abyss be calling it toxic belittling anything and everything they can that is "manish " "boyish "!!!
But now those strong independent queens, those girl-bosses types of "I don't need a man" , Me woman strong hear my roar ! , Are getting all buhhhh cry baby about this situation, because their own lgbtq +++ support is coming back full circle to eat its own promoters that are the female feminists , the transgenders are taking-over female sports outsmarting females in feminist sphere Their own ideology and monstercreation they themselves promoted and helped bring forwarded has now turned on them.
But those strong independent females have for years been more than happy to using the transgender Lgbtq ++ agenda against heterosexual males to demonize heterosexual males and belittle boys men ..
But now themonster they was gladly unleashing unto others, have come full circle , the rooster have come home to roost , and it’s bitting them in their own backside!!!
And now they are SOooo upset why NO one is helping them fight this transgender Lgbtq ++ agenda the horror they themselves helped to unleash on men !! ...
And now the screams we hear from feminists are: Where are all the white knights in shining armor to defend my innocent maiden honor thy cry ?
Well you made your bed now you sleep in it honey , after all you are a strong independent women you don't need a man , and anything a man can do a woman can do as good or even better at-least that what you have been saying all this time ..

MOLDOVA HAS THE SAME PRO, AS UKRAINE ITS CALLED RUSSIANS !!!
Her is a thought if every one thinks you are a bunch of malignant, belligerent a**holes and you think you are the the greatest thing since sliced bread and you are the only one that thinks that maybe you need a reality check and just maybe just maybe you are a bunch of malignant, belligerent a**holes and not the greatest thing since sliced bread
Lets look at some facts and take a look at ukraine and Lithuania and the same you will see goes for Moldova !
Just look at the population of Russians LIVING in that nations in East Europe it does not need to be that big to get problems .
Look at some facts
Ukraine only 17,3% ethnic Russian
Latvia only 26% ethnic Russian
Lithuania only 2,5% ethnic Russian
Estonia only 25,2 % ethnic Russian
Moldova only 5.8% ethnic Russian
Georgia only 1,5 % ethnic Russian
The % is not big in most of the nation's above but when it comes to how much this Russian scum demand of influence and how much they are screaming if you did not know the facts you will think they are almost the majority of the populations.
Take Lithuania as an good exs. in that country ethnic RuSSians are ONLY 2,5% that represents ONLY 50,460 people that are ethnic Russians and Russians are NOT the biggest ethnic group in-fact after Lithuanians it is Jews that take 2nd place as the biggest ethnic group in Lithuania with 7,6% of the population that represents 153,743 that is 3 times bigger than Russians and we don’t see the jews shouting out that their language (Hebrew) must have a special status in education, schools and that gov. documents must be written in Hebrew and TV and Radio must also be in Hebrew, street signs must be written Hebrew and that Hebrew must have special protected statues rights within Lithuania like
Russians are shouting about that they demand and want in Lithuania for their Russian language now do we …??
NO WE DONT !! becouse the Jewish population in Lithuania understand and respect that Lithuanians are the rightful owners and ppl. of Lithuania and they respect that fact..
SO THE QUESTION must be: Why is there always a problem with ethnic Russians all the time and why do they think they can demand special status for themselves and special status for Russian language who do they think they are ???

DO NOT GIVE THE SCUM CITIZENSHIP PAY THEN OFF OK BUT UKRIANE MUST NOT INPORT THIS SCUM THATS THE PROBLEM IN THE FIRST PLACE THOSE RUSSIANS WILL NEVER CHANGE THEY WILL END UP PROMOTING RUSSIA-FACTION OF UKRIANE IN THE FUTURE QQ
Just look at the population of Russians LIVING in that nations in East Europe it does not need to be that big to get problems .
Look at some facts
Ukraine only 17,3% ethnic Russian
Latvia only 26% ethnic Russian
Lithuania only 2,5% ethnic Russian
Estonia only 25,2 % ethnic Russian
Moldova only 5.8% ethnic Russian
Georgia only 1,5 % ethnic Russian
The % is not big in most of the nation's above but when it comes to how much this Russian scum demand of influence and how much they are screaming if you did not know the facts you will think they are almost the majority of the populations.
Take Lithuania as an good exs. in that country ethnic RuSSians are ONLY 2,5% that represents ONLY 50,460 people that are ethnic Russians and Russians are NOT the biggest ethnic group in-fact after Lithuanians it is Jews that take 2nd place as the biggest ethnic group in Lithuania with 7,6% of the population that represents 153,743 that is 3 times bigger than Russians and we don’t see the jews shouting out that their language (Hebrew) must have a special status in education, schools and that gov. documents must be written in Hebrew and TV and Radio must also be in Hebrew, street signs must be written Hebrew and that Hebrew must have special protected statues rights within Lithuania like

So you're telling me that JD Vance gave a fiery speech thrashing entire Europe over the lack of democracy and freedom of speech two days after the White House revoked the Associated Press’ accreditation for failing to obey and use “Gulf of America” in their reporting?
JD Vance is actually right -- Russia is not the biggest threat to Europe.
What's even bigger as a threat is irresponsible and infantile demagogues like JD himself, running for quick and easy-peasy solutions to matters of war and peace.
Remember when JD thought he will get political pointers saying
Trump is unfit for office"
" Never a Trump guy"
"My god, what an idiot"
" I never liked him"
" I can't stomach Trump"
Truth is JD is just a politicalwhore he will say do anything if he thinks it gets him what he wants, he will go to bed with anyone for the money.
Lets see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
The pro PUTIN BOOT LICKERSthat are putins but boys Trump and JD saying Ukraine has to give up on wanting its land back give up on wanting the Black sea back give up on wanting the Azov sea back give up on wanting its cities back its people ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass Russia wants so give it up ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..
FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5:
1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression.
2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility.
3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

Ask yourself HOW IS IT POSSIBLE how did HAMAS almost over night get those resources and who benefits from all this uproar and destabilization in the middle east WHO ???
NOT ISREAL NOT IRAN NOT AFGHANISTAN NOT SYRIA NOT THE EU NOT USA NOT UK NOT CHINA NOT EVEN PALESTINE INFACT NO COUNTRY BENEFITS FROM THIS, WITH THE ONE EXCEPTION THERE IS ONE COUNTRY THAT DOES BENEFITS AND ITS RUSSIA; YES RUSSIA BENEFITS FROM THIS AND THEY REALLY BENEFIT FORM IT BIG TIME !!
RuZZia gets to have western media look another way form what RuZZia is doing inside Ukraine!!!!! Russia gets to defect the worlds attention way from the war crimes, genocide , the 10s of thousands of Ukrainian children Russian army has kidnapped in Ukriane !!!
Russia gets the world media to look another way when it comes to the fact the Putin is a wanted man that the ICC International criminal court in The Hague as issued an arrest warrant ,for war crimes and crimes against humanity including but not limited to genocide and for kidnapping of Ukrainian children and forcibly deporting them to Russia !!
Also Russia gets to make US , EU ect ect divert resources and weapons from UKRAINE to Israel; divert military intelligence resources , divert aid ect ect ect ect away from UKRAINE !!!
SO ALL YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS IS WHO BENEFITS AND HOW THEY BENEFIT !! AND YES RUSSIAN AND ONLY RUSSIA BENEFITS HERE BIG TIME !!
What Russia Hopes to Gain From the Israel-Hamas Conflict !!!
the relationship between Russia and Israel has cooled following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, even if Israel has remained more reluctant to support Ukraine than its Western allies would have liked.
Even so, it came as a shock to many in Israel to see a group of high-ranking Hamas members meeting with a senior Russian official on Oct. 26. The Israeli Foreign Ministry slammed the decision to invite Hamas members to Moscow as “an act in support of terrorism” and called for Russia to expel the Hamas delegation.
In the wake of the meetings, Hamas has announced that it is looking for eight hostages in Gaza that Russia has asked to be released, “because we look at Russia as our closest friend,” Hamas Politburo member Abu Marzouk said on Oct. 28.
Palestinian militants have reportedly gotten around Western sanctions by funneling millions through Russian cryptocurrency exchanges.
Russia has notably not condemned Hamas’s attacks on Oct. 7 as terrorism. Instead, Russian officials have called for both sides to put down arms and reaffirmed its support for a Palestinian state. At the United Nations Security Council, a Russian resolution that called for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages was voted down as it failed to condemn Hamas.
Mossad has come out and said there is now evidence that Russians supplied the Palestinian militant group Hamas with western infantry armaments that they seized in Ukraine, . There is evidence that Russia was involved in instigating Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks and supplied weapons used.
In speeches and public appearances, Russian officials have repeatedly criticized Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Oct. 28 that Israel’s bombardment of Gaza is against international law. Putin compared Israel’s blockade of Gaza to Nazi Germany’s siege of Leningrad during World War II, one of the most traumatic events in Russian history during which hundreds of thousands of Russian civilians died.
Others in Russia have gone further, arguing that it is time for Russia to reassess its relationship with Israel. “Whose ally is Israel? The United States of America,” Andrei Gurulev, State Duma deputy and member of its Defense Committee, wrote on Telegram. “Whose ally is Iran and its surrounding Muslim world? Ours.”

When ppl. repeat myths and lies like about Ukraine ppl. like , Vivek Ramaswamy ,Tucker Carlson ; Dr. Steve Turley, Tulsi Gabbard, Marjorie Taylor Greene, Matt Gaetz , Candace Owens , Charles J. Kirk and convicted sex offenders like Scott Ritter ect ect ... say things like "I have a hard time siding with Ukraine because no effort of peace have been made on their side, the war loving nazi Ukrainians only blocked all communications commenting war ect ect ect ..."
Lets me answer you pro Russia usefulidiots this way !!
If Russia had Genocided five+ millions of your people in a Holodomor (Russian genocide 1932-1933 ) and you was forcefully incorporated into a union (USSR) with Russia; where millions more was forced to Gulags (soviet concentration camps) and persecuted; then you got freedom in 1991 wouldn't you also make sure that Russia never ever again got to rule over you and your country ???
But you your family and your country, probably does not have that type of history with Russia so you simply would not understand. Look at your question another way: suppose Germany suddenly invaded Israel. Do you think Israel would or should negotiate with Germany given to give up their land for peace give up their culture give up their identity and exchange it for Germany ruling over them once more !!
Philosopher George Santayana’s warning, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” is pertinent. We know that Putin is guided by an imperialist and fascist agenda, and by a desire to restore Soviet-era dominance over its neighbors. History has also shown us that, when a despot is willing to back his agenda with military force, the results are devasting if they are not confronted.
And make no mistake, supporting Ukraine is not only a matter of countering Vladimir Putin. It is just as much about sending a loud message to other autocratic leaders — particularly in Beijing and Tehran — that the United States will not stand by as democracy is actively threatened abroad.
About 40 years ago, former Republican president Ronald Reagan branded the Soviet Union an “evil empire,” and rallied the free world around bringing it down. We must not overlook the fact that the same corrupt, authoritarian and despotic values that characterized the Soviet Union in the Reagan era are embodied by Vladimir Putin.
Unfortunately, many on the political right seem to have forgotten history — or worse, are choosing to ignore it.
ALSO ON A SIDE NOTE : A small part of Ukraines land for pace you say its only a small bit of land ...the truth is that it is in fact 200000 sqkm That is the cobindsize of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and Greece..
For the United Kingdom that is the same as they give away all of Scotland , all of Wales and 80% of England !!
For the United states that is handing over South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey !!
You want Ukraine to let Putin have that land for what? SO PUTIN COME BACK LATER AND invaded some in some years time after he hasrebuilt back up the Russian army constructed into the ground now positions on the very land he got for this so called "pace " !!
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...

As Congress debates additional support for Ukraine, the anti-Ukraine swamp will fill their echo chamber by peddling myths and half-truths like PJW is doing right now shilling for Putin a true enemy that is backed up by North Korea, Iran , Syria and China and lets not forget Russia is good friends with Hamas !!! Why is PJW SHILLING FOR PUTIN and presenting himself as a patriot of the west !!
Here are the facts about the support for Ukriane
FACT: America is not writing “blank checks” to Ukraine:
Every dollar spent in support of Ukraine is authorized by Congress and is used for a specific purpose. Approximately $70 billion of aid never leaves the U.S. Instead, it goes to support America world leading defense industry.
FACT: For a modest sum of money, the US helps Ukraine dismantle Russia’s military w/out a single American in harm's way: +300k Russian troops KIA/WIA, 13,000 major pieces of equipment removed from battlefield The original Russian invasion force from Feb 2022 no longer exists!
FACT: There is plenty of oversight for Ukraine aid:
Ukraine Oversight Interagency Working Group has 160 officials across 20 agencies monitoring aid
So far: “Investigations related to the Ukraine response have not yet substantiated significant waste, fraud, or abuse.
FACT: Europeans have now overtaken the U.S. the largest donor to Ukraine:
Russia is China’s partner. A weakened Russia means a weaker China
Beijing is also watching how Western powers support Ukraine, so a strong and victorious Ukraine makes Taiwan stronger and deters Chinese aggression
FACT: Europe’s stability matters to US economy:
45/50 states export more to Europe than China When Americans are building something to be exported, that is an American job European stability, which Russia threatens, brings untold benefits to the economy the American worker.
FACT: Lessons from Ukraine make our military stronger:
Shortcomings in defense industry are exposed & being addressed. Thankfully, these were uncovered when US not at war The performance of US made hardware gets a real-world combat test in a way not possible in a peacetime
FACT: Lessons learned from arming Ukraine mean Taiwan is getting weapons faster:
For the first time ever, Presidential Drawdown Authority is being used for Taiwan
Taiwan’s order of HIMARS will now be arriving 1 year earlier than planned after U.S. re-prioritized the sale
FACT: Iran and North Korea enable Russia to attack Ukraine. Russia supports Hamas:
Iran giving thousands of drones for use against Ukraine
North Korea giving +1 million artillery rounds for use against Ukraine
Russia protects Hamas at the UN. Moscow recently hosted Hamas
FACT: Ukraine is not “America's new forever war”:
No US troops are fighting against Russia inside Ukraine
Ukrainians are not asking for, nor do they want, US troops to help them fight Russia
The US is not a belligerent in the conflict
FACT: The US is not engaged in a proxy war against Russia:
Definition of a "proxy war" is a war “fought by states acting at the instigation or on behalf of other states” The US has never instigated Ukraine to fight. The US is not forcing the Ukraine to fight on its behalf
FACT: The US must provide both military & non-military to achieve the greatest affect:
Russia’s invasion eliminated 30% of Ukraine’s economy
Essential public services must function (e.g. law enforcement, utility workers, etc) for Ukraine to remain on a total war footing
FACT: US aid to Ukraine does not cost “$900 per American household” as some suggest:
Income tax is not levied evenly across households the top 1% of earners paid 42.3% of all federal income tax. The bottom 50% (those making $42,184 or less) paid only 2.3% of all income tax.
FACT: US military aid to Ukraine is a boost to our defense industry:
After seeing effectiveness of US military equipment in Ukraine, NATO countries alone have so far placed $90 billion in orders for US made hardware.
This makes America safer while creating highly-paid jobs

On another side note ; Election under a gun with tanks and thugs standing over the voting boxes is not an election it can not be a free and legal election...Referendums vía gun point isn't a referendum, it's racketeering. Something that Russia knows oh so very well how to do. YOU CAN VOTE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN It will never be legal as long as Russian army is there and as lone as it is an illegal gov. put there by an occupying force
It might be useful to recap some of the reason why Russia is now an outcast :
Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade; Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU;
Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries;
Provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace;
Russia's interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia;
Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers;
Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory;
Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region;
Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation";
Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict;
Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people;
Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006;
Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018;
among lots of other things to much to even list up ..
NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.

This is what happens when you let feminists take over and control western society ; the western female feminists themselves start pulling down ("the male built" ) society by and giving other marxist woke ideologist access to power ( like; vegans , BLM , climate change activists, Lgbtq etc) Then you see a decline in traditional sosial western values systems , society changes and starts the demonization of white males (and that is what radical feminists want ) the death of masculinity the death of a traditional man's role the natural protectors of society are subdued and humiliated to silence shamed and demonized to "stand in the corner " and if they speak out against this sick leftists feminist ideology they are canceled !!!
Just think about it; All of this leftists BS started with feminism demonizing men , pushing men out and taking over, feminizing society. it’s was feminists that started to support lgbtq ++ agenda and other leftists like exstremistes and they did it , because they believed (and rightfully so ) and thought it will help them get an ally in their war against masculinity and what they call the patriarchy, it help them belittle manhood and what it means to be or not be a man!! they wanted to and have managed to achieve their goals of "muddy the waters "…
It’s a war against heterosexuality males and masculinity!!
Feminism did not create this perversion groups but they used them promoted then for their own benefit and agenda of demonizing a man’s role and identity , to bring down men and elevate women, because women can not compete in any sphere with a man so the only way they had left was destroying and demonizing manhoods role within society.. And now look where we all are !!

Russian bot farms now routinely instruct their employees to drown Ukraine in reports about corruption. According to Ukraine’s Center for Strategic Communication and Information Security, before that, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s administration gave instructions to plant the narrative about Ukraine as “the most corrupt country in the world” in Western media.
This narrative embeds itself among foreign audiences that watch Russian RT news
Are the accusations of corruption against Ukraine fair?
Certainly, there is corruption in Ukraine, as well as problems of mismanagement at various levels.
But Reports about the exposure of corruption schemes is not proof of total corruption in Ukraine. On the contrary, they testify that Ukrainian society and the state are not tolerant of corruption.
Deregulation, de-oligarchization, the adoption of anti-corruption legislation, the formation of anti-corruption bodies, the liquidation of discredited institutions (such as the State Automobile Inspectorate or the State Architectural and Construction Inspectorate) are several examples of concrete steps aimed at reducing Ukraine’s level of corruption.
Ukraine’s anti-corruption measures span a number of activities as follows:
1. Specialized law enforcement agencies that investigate corruption offenses: The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) were established in 2015. The High Anti-Corruption Court was established in 2019. The Prosecutor General's Office, the State Bureau of Investigation, the Security Service of Ukraine and the National Police are also involved in the fight against corruption. Their activities are actively covered in the media and are evidence that Ukraine does not tolerate corruption but fights against it.
2. System of mandatory electronic declaration of wealth, introduced for civil servants, MPs and local deputies, judges, law enforcers and other officials:
3. Information on budget expenditure that is open and available to everyone: Public procurement in Ukraine is carried out through the ProZorro electronic system.
4. Democratic statehood and political competition: This is also a safeguard against monopolization of power, which entails corruption and degradation of the state apparatus.
5. No caste of untouchables in Ukraine: MPs, mayors of large cities, heads of regional administrations, deputy ministers and judges are brought to criminal responsibility.
In May 2023, the Chairman of the Supreme Court was detained on suspicion of receiving a bribe.
6. Policy of de-oligarchization: In 2021, a law was passed to limit the influence of oligarchs on political parties, the government and the media in Ukraine.
7. Freedom of speech and free media work, even under martial law: Journalists can investigate the lifestyle of politicians and top officials and inform citizens about the discovered facts. Journalistic materials often become the basis for opening proceedings by law enforcement agencies and can lead to political consequences. In particular, several MPs have given up power based on such cases arising.
8. A powerful civil society: Anti-corruption public organizations monitor public procurement, analyze budget spending, report questionable expenditure and corruption risk.
9. Zero tolerance of corruption among Ukrainian citizens: The Orange Revolution of 2004-2005 and the Revolution of Dignity of 2013-2014 were, among other things, a protest against government corruption. This is a constant demand of society, which will not change in the years to come.
10. Widely implemented policy of deregulation, which reduces potential abuses by regulatory authorities: The Ukrainian parliament and the government are canceling outdated regulations, simplifying conditions for doing business and providing administrative services for citizens.
Furthermore, the Ministry of Digital Transformation plans to launch 63 digital products (14 innovative solutions are to be implemented just the last year).
The next step is an electronic court, digital registers and systems.
Ukriane foreign partners also see Ukraine's success. U.S. Acting Deputy Secretary of State, welcomed the adoption of the law on improving the activities of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine. It is said ; despite the war, Ukraine has continued to fight against corruption and taken decisive action to strengthen accountability, transparency and corporate governance.
According to Transparency International, following the Revolution of Dignity, Ukraine demonstrated progress in the fight against corruption. For 10 years – from 2013 to 2022 – the country earned eight points in the Corruption Perceptions Index rating, showing its best result in 2022 – 33 points out of 100.
In accordance with the indicator, Ukraine is lagging behind Turkey, Serbia and Albania, which have 36 points each, but ahead of Russia (29 points).
The most corrupt states in the world are the Kremlin's friends: Syria (13), Venezuela (14), North Korea (17), Nicaragua (19), Sudan (22), and Eritrea (22).
Why does Russia use the "most corrupt country" narrative?
Speculating on the topic of corruption, exaggerating its scale and demonizing Ukrainian society, the Kremlin regime seeks to achieve the following goals:
1. To undermine the unity of partners providing Ukraine with military and macro-financial assistance
2. To convince the citizens of these countries that the aid provided will be stolen, Western weapons will end up on the "black market" and will fall into the hands of terrorists
3. To promote narratives about Ukrainians as ungrateful and villainous people
4. To convince Ukrainian citizens that “the real enemy is not in Moscow, but in Kyiv.” This is aimed at socio-political destabilization, undermining trust in the military-political leadership, generating hatred for civil servants, MPs, etc.
Despite the Russian invasion, Ukraine has demonstrated that overcoming corruption is a constant trend that persists even in the most difficult of times.
Russia's speculation about corruption in Ukraine is aimed at undermining trust in Ukraine on the part of foreign partners, weakening support, provoking artificial conflicts in Ukrainian society, reduce Ukraine’s ability to resist external aggression and defend its own state.

Kremlin routinely give out reports about corruption and repeat the lies of Ukraine as “the most corrupt country in the world”.
This myth gets pushed into foreign audiences by Russian RT news
Is this corruption claim against Ukraine fair?
Certainly, there is corruption in Ukraine!
But reports coming to light of exposed corruption schemes is not proof of total corruption in Ukraine. On the contrary It testifies that Ukraine state is fighting off corruption.
There are several examples of concrete steps aimed at reducing Ukraine’s level of corruption.
Ukraine’s anti-corruption measures span a number of activities as follows:

Specialized law enforcement agencies that investigate corruption offenses: The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) were established in 2015. The High Anti-Corruption Court was established in 2019. The Prosecutor General's Office, the State Bureau of Investigation, the Security Service of Ukraine and the ..Their activities are actively covered in the media and are evidence that Ukraine does not tolerate corruption but fights against it.
2. System of mandatory electronic declaration of wealth, introduced for civil servants, MPs and local deputies, judges, law enforcers and other officials:
3. Democratic statehood and political competition: This is also a safeguard against monopolization.
4. No caste of untouchables in Ukraine: MPs, mayors of large cities, heads of regional administrations, deputy ministers and judges are brought to criminal responsibility.
In May 2023, the Chairman of the Supreme Court was detained on suspicion of receiving a bribe.
5. Zero tolerance of corruption among Ukrainians The Revolution of Dignity of 2013-2014 were against Putins boys Mr. President Yankovich corruption schemes.
I CAN GO ON AND ON REF. TO A ENDLESS LIST OF ANTI CORRUPTION MEASUERS BUT YOU GET MY POINT !
Also According to Transparency International Corruption Index rating Ukraine is lagging behind Turkey, which have 36 points each, but ahead of Russia (29) so Ukraine is less corrupted than Russia 🇷🇺

As Congress debates additional support for Ukraine, the anti-Ukraine swamp will fill their echo chamber by peddling myths and half-truths.
Here are the facts
FACT: America is not writing “blank checks” to Ukraine:
Every dollar spent in support of Ukraine is authorized by Congress and is used for a specific purpose. Approximately $70 billion of aid never leaves the U.S. Instead, it goes to support America world leading defense industry.
FACT: For a modest sum of money, the US helps Ukraine dismantle Russia’s military w/out a single American in harm's way: +300k Russian troops KIA/WIA, 13,000 major pieces of equipment removed from battlefield The original Russian invasion force from Feb 2022 no longer exists!
FACT: There is plenty of oversight for Ukraine aid:
Ukraine Oversight Interagency Working Group has 160 officials across 20 agencies monitoring aid
So far: “Investigations related to the Ukraine response have not yet substantiated significant waste, fraud, or abuse.
FACT: Europeans have now overtaken the U.S. the largest donor to Ukraine:
Russia is China’s partner. A weakened Russia means a weaker China
Beijing is also watching how Western powers support Ukraine, so a strong and victorious Ukraine makes Taiwan stronger and deters Chinese aggression
FACT: Europe’s stability matters to US economy:
45/50 states export more to Europe than China When Americans are building something to be exported, that is an American job European stability, which Russia threatens, brings untold benefits to the economy the American worker.
FACT: Lessons from Ukraine make our military stronger:
Shortcomings in defense industry are exposed & being addressed. Thankfully, these were uncovered when US not at war The performance of US made hardware gets a real-world combat test in a way not possible in a peacetime
FACT: Lessons learned from arming Ukraine mean Taiwan is getting weapons faster:
For the first time ever, Presidential Drawdown Authority is being used for Taiwan
Taiwan’s order of HIMARS will now be arriving 1 year earlier than planned after U.S. re-prioritized the sale
FACT: Iran and North Korea enable Russia to attack Ukraine. Russia supports Hamas:
Iran giving thousands of drones for use against Ukraine
North Korea giving +1 million artillery rounds for use against Ukraine
Russia protects Hamas at the UN. Moscow recently hosted Hamas
FACT: Ukraine is not “America's new forever war”:
No US troops are fighting against Russia inside Ukraine
Ukrainians are not asking for, nor do they want, US troops to help them fight Russia
The US is not a belligerent in the conflict
FACT: The US is not engaged in a proxy war against Russia:
Definition of a "proxy war" is a war “fought by states acting at the instigation or on behalf of other states” The US has never instigated Ukraine to fight. The US is not forcing the Ukraine to fight on its behalf
FACT: The US must provide both military & non-military to achieve the greatest affect:
Russia’s invasion eliminated 30% of Ukraine’s economy
Essential public services must function (e.g. law enforcement, utility workers, etc) for Ukraine to remain on a total war footing
FACT: US aid to Ukraine does not cost “$900 per American household” as some suggest:
Income tax is not levied evenly across households the top 1% of earners paid 42.3% of all federal income tax. The bottom 50% (those making $42,184 or less) paid only 2.3% of all income tax.
FACT: US military aid to Ukraine is a boost to our defense industry:
After seeing effectiveness of US military equipment in Ukraine, NATO countries alone have so far placed $90 billion in orders for US made hardware.
This makes America safer while creating highly-paid jobs

The western feminist females have been supporting (for their own anti male agenda) for years this transgender and Lgbtq ++ movement!!!
The truth is that females have been using the Lgbtq ++ movement as a sledgehammer to hammer down on what they call toxic masculinity ( basically anything male or seen as manly ) to demonize the heterosexual males (and especially white heterosexual males) and they have been doing it for years pushing masculinity into the abyss be calling it toxic belittling anything and everything they can that is "manish " "boyish "!!!
But now those strong independent queens, those girl-bosses types of "I don't need a man" , Me woman strong hear my roar ! , Are getting all buhhhh cry baby about this situation, because their own lgbtq +++ support is coming back full circle to eat its own promoters that are the female feminists , the transgenders are taking-over female sports outsmarting females in feminist sphere Their own ideology and monstercreation they themselves promoted and helped bring forwarded has now turned on them.
But those strong independent females have for years been more than happy to using the transgender Lgbtq ++ agenda against heterosexual males to demonize heterosexual males and belittle boys men ..
But now themonster they was gladly unleashing unto others, have come full circle , the rooster have come home to roost , and it’s bitting them in their own backside!!!
And now they are SOooo upset why NO one is helping them fight this transgender Lgbtq ++ agenda the horror they themselves helped to unleash on men !! ...
And now the screams we hear from feminists are: Where are all the white knights in shining armor to defend my innocent maiden honor thy cry ?
Well you made your bed now you sleep in it honey , after all you are a strong independent women you don't need a man , and anything a man can do a woman can do as good or even better at-least that what you have been saying all this time ..
So now you have the chance to prove it!!
You go girl !!!

US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , because Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!
And here we can clearly see what such guarantees with the west is worth, it has been 8 years now since Russia invaded Ukraine in the east of the country and annexed parts of Ukraine in Crimea AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED so now Russia is going all inn and taking everything THE CAN!!
That is the result of worthless grantees !!
And here's something the WEST is clearly overlooking ; Taiwan , Israel and everyone else is also asking the question; CAN I TRUST THE WEST TO HOLD TO THEIR WORD AND STAND BY THE GUARANTEES THEY GIVE ! and not just Taiwan and Israel, is right now asking themselves those questions, but even small eastern European NATO member states that border Russia, will be asking themselves those questions as well !! IT'S ABOUT TRUST YOU LOSE TRUST YOU LOSE EVERYTHING!!
And her is the real kicker ; Also Iran, North Korea and China will be seeing what is going on and soon they will be thinking the west is weak; And the will be thinking and saying things like, just look what the west did when Russia was calling out their bluff about red lines in Ukraine ... The time is now, we have our chance to stick it to them !!!!
And then we will see China take Taiwan (so no more silicon-chips for you ) and then we will see Iran take Israel (middle east oil all gone and the middles east up in fire ) And when North Korea goes into South no more south Korea as north will take it over as well !!
SO YOUR OPTIONS ARE ,TO TAKE A STAND NOW OR LATER !!

GIVING A SURRENDER IS NOT A PEACE DEAL ITS A SHAKE DOWN !!!! Anyone can make a peace deal when they surrender, which is what Trump is asking Ukraine to do.
Trump and his admin appear to be Putin's lifeline.
Its obvious what happened. A US president tried to shake down a foreign leader for mineral rights in Ukraine. The USA has abandoned its leadership role in the world and is now just for sale. The Republicans have lost their minds and perhaps their souls. Siding with Russia.
JD Vance talks about Zelensky being disrespectful and then points his finger and raises his voice TAKING talking down to Zelensky like he was som sort of child talking this way at a President of a sovereign state who is a visitor in the White House; coming to give 50% of his county natural resources and a deal that is more like a shake down than anything else after VANCE AND TRUNP has call him a dictator and never said any bad word other the praise for Putin .
I did not see Zelenskyy raising his voice. I did not see any arrogance. I saw him attempting to explain that a cease fire without guarantees would not work. He could not get a word in. The tirade of obscene fury from Trump and Vance left no room for a discussion of the issues. Trump, of course, continued lying.
Does the orange man and Vance talk to Mr Putin like that.. just 2 cowards the orange man and the VP.. that clearly are wanting to kiss up to Putin for sure they have some backhand deal going on with the Kremlin ; this was staged ; question sense when does the VP every come and seat down and talk in a press meeting when to head of states are meeting the press before a conference ?? This here was an coordinated attack to make out like Zelenskyy is an unreasonable person that wants war and that Putin and Trump are the peace loving parties
In order to make peace he has to give up his country's most resourceful land.
He's a proud Ukrainian, who is tired of his people being pushed around by the Russians. Now the U.S. is trying to get their hands on the minerals.
Haven't we learned anything from the last 75 years of war?
Granted, this needs to be over fast. How bout letting them keep their minerals and write a contract to where the U.S. would have a fixed price and first dibs on what [they] need.
Trump and associates were in Moscow Nov2013 when Russia forced Ukraine leader to go against parliament decision and people's desire to have agreement with EU. This caused riots and Russia snipers shot 100+ Ukrainian protestors. Russia invaded Crimea and land access for Crimea. Shot down Malaysian airliner over Ukraine! Now we know Trump is ani-EU and pro Putin...... surprised he doesn't have ussr flag on his clown hat.....
Lets see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
The pro PUTIN BOOT LICKERSthat are putins but boys Trump and JD saying Ukraine has to give up on wanting its land back give up on wanting the Black sea back give up on wanting the Azov sea back give up on wanting its cities back its people ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass Russia wants so give it up ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..
FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5:
1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression.
2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility.
3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

LIKE i have said before ... Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Trump says just give up on wanting your cities, your land back your people , back ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass anyway that Russia wants so just give it up and we all can have some peace ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..

American blacks men were given the right to vote on February 3, 1870 by the 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution
Women's suffrage in the United States, the legal right of women to vote, was established over the course of several decades, first in various states and localities, sometimes on a limited basis, and then nationally in 1920.
American blacks men were given the right to vote on February 3, 1870 by the 15th Amendment to the United States Constitution.... Women's suffrage in the United States, the legal right of women to vote, was established over the course of several decades, first in various states and localities, sometimes on a limited basis, and then nationally in 1920.
So why did this take time for females to get the vote ??
Well back in the day of feudalism it was only the lords and other aristocracy that had a vote then that was expanded to all that owed land (becouse they paid taxes )got a vote have a vote, then it was the common man who had served in the army (with a military honorable service) included into also getting voting rights (because back then it was only males that served ) and then it was included to all FREE MEN regardless if he was aristocracy , land owner's , served in the military or not So why was it this way, well becouse back then it was the men that worked the land served in wars and paid taxes .. NOT FEMALES OR SLAVES !!!

Women think about marriage as a wedding day just like a child thinks about a dog as a fun play pal and not a something that is work and responsibility!!
Marriage is a contract. NEVER enter a contract where one of the parties is rewarded by BREAKING it. A wife can be lazy, negligent, deprive the husband of sex, disrespect him, CHEAT on him and when SHE asks for a DIVORCE (women start 80% of divorces) she still gets the house, the kids, the car, the pets, the furniture and a large chunk of his income. Who would put himself voluntarily under such conditions?
- "The 1st marriage is for money. The 2nd is for love."
- Alcohol and women is the worst combination I have found.
- The government is weaponized against men, and women love it.
What women actually want when they want "equality" is :
- The societal rights “privilege” of men
-The authority of a man
-The societal rights “privilege” of women
- The responsibility of neither a man or a woman
-The freedom of a wild animal
- The accountability of a child (preferably a baby girl child)
- The just want the best of both worlds, worst of none
Men: Just want peace and femininity.
Re
Women: I don't need a man, I am a fantastic catch I have a degree in social studies, I own my own business, My own house, my own car and a summer house by the sea (took it all in divorce court from my last husband of 22 years ) .
Men: Those aren't personality traits we look for in a partner .
Women: I don't care! Date me! Buy me things!
Hey? Where did all the good men go?
Here is 2 things feminists need to understand !!
1, NO man ever put his hand under a woman's dress looking for her degree.
2.Saying things like ; I'm an independent woman" . I work hard, I own my own business." I have a degree " Somebody needs to let the modern feminist know that these words are kryptonite to men.
Gentlemen are only obligated to help and assist LADIES , NOT independent feminist that say they don’t need a gentlemen/ man because men are toxic ..
“The feminist of today have grown accustomed to privilege and rights equal to a man, so now when a man says I will not help you because we are equal then this equality feels like oppression to the feminist and not like the “equality” they say they want !
Females today !!
1. The right to vote without military service. (the right to vote was before based on that you had to serve in the nations army that why men historically got the vote now exploited by females )
2. Sexual liberation with anticoncepcional pills. (made by males to help females and exploited by females ) Ginocentric Divorce courts breaking families for women happiness. (court legal system made by men exploited by females )
3. Social media putting hypergamy on steroids. (internet another thing made by males exploited by females )
Corld gets hard core fucked and not the good kind of fucked !! Gentlemen are only obligated to help and assist LADIES , NOT independent feminist that say they don’t need a gentlemen/ man because men are toxic ..
“The feminist of today have grown accustomed to privilege and rights equal to a man, so now when a man says I will not help you because we are equal then this equality feels like oppression to the feminist and not like the “equality” they say they want !

It might be useful to recap some of the reason why Russia is now an outcast :
Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade; Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU;
Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries;
Provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace;
Russia's interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia;
Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers;
Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory;
Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region;
Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation";
Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict;
Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people;
Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006;
Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018;
among lots of other things to much to even list up ..
NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.

To put things in perspective, Ukraine had 176 ICBMs and over 2000 tactical nukes along with bombers able to carry them. They gave it all up in exchange for security guarantees from USA, UK and Russia ( Budapest Memorandum 1994 ). One would say that assisting Ukraine now when its being invaded should be obvious thing to do when you signed up on their security and they gave up literally thousands nukes...
US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , becouse Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!

The western feminist females have been supporting (for their own anti male agenda) for years this transgender and Lgbtq ++ movement!!!
The truth is that females have been using the Lgbtq ++ movement as a sledgehammer to hammer down on what they call toxic masculinity ( basically anything male or seen as manly ) to demonize the heterosexual males (and especially white heterosexual males) and they have been doing it for years pushing masculinity into the abyss be calling it toxic belittling anything and everything they can that is "manish " "boyish "!!!
But now those strong independent queens, those girl-bosses types of "I don't need a man" , Me woman strong hear my roar ! , Are getting all buhhhh cry baby about this situation, because their own lgbtq +++ support is coming back full circle to eat its own promoters that are the female feminists , the transgenders are taking-over female sports outsmarting females in feminist sphere Their own ideology and monstercreation they themselves promoted and helped bring forwarded has now turned on them.
But those strong independent females have for years been more than happy to using the transgender Lgbtq ++ agenda against heterosexual males to demonize heterosexual males and belittle boys men ..
But now themonster they was gladly unleashing unto others, have come come full circle , the rooster have come home to roost , and it’s bitting them in their own backside!!!
And now they are SOooo upset why NO one is helping them fight this transgender Lgbtq ++ agenda the horror they themselves helped to unleash on men !! ...
And now the screams we hear from feminists are: Where are all the white knights in shining armor to defend my innocent maiden honor thy cry ?
Well you made your bed now you sleep in it honey , after all you are a strong independent women you don't need a man , and anything a man can do a woman can do as good or even better at-least that what you have been saying all this time ..
So now you have the chance to prove it!!
You go girl !!!

GIVING A SURRENDER IS NOT A PEACE DEAL ITS A SHAKE DOWN !!!! Anyone can make a peace deal when they surrender, which is what Trump is asking Ukraine to do.
Trump and his admin appear to be Putin's lifeline.
Its obvious what happened. A US president tried to shake down a foreign leader for mineral rights in Ukraine. The USA has abandoned its leadership role in the world and is now just for sale. The Republicans have lost their minds and perhaps their souls. Siding with Russia.
JD Vance talks about Zelensky being disrespectful and then points his finger and raises his voice TAKING talking down to Zelensky like he was som sort of child talking this way at a President of a sovereign state who is a visitor in the White House; coming to give 50% of his county natural resources and a deal that is more like a shake down than anything else after VANCE AND TRUNP has call him a dictator and never said any bad word other the praise for Putin .
I did not see Zelenskyy raising his voice. I did not see any arrogance. I saw him attempting to explain that a cease fire without guarantees would not work. He could not get a word in. The tirade of obscene fury from Trump and Vance left no room for a discussion of the issues. Trump, of course, continued lying.
In order to make peace he has to give up his country's most resourceful land.
He's a proud Ukrainian, who is tired of his people being pushed around by the Russians. Now the U.S. is trying to get their hands on the minerals.
I think when the USA have secret talks with Russia, then propose a deal that gives Russia land and The USA mineral wealth and potentially removes Zelenskyy i from office (allowing Russian puppet government or weak government) with no security guarantees offered other than Putin supposedly respecting Trump, especially when he knows that that Putin is a proven liar that breaks treaties at will, when his host in the oval office has called him a dictator and accused him of starting the war....... l think that that's gonna make Zelenskyy in a bad mood from the start.
This looks like Afghanistan again, America get involved, fund and encourage a side then leave them with their pants down.
Let's see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
The pro PUTIN BOOT LICKERSthat are putins but boys Trump and JD saying Ukraine has to give up on wanting its land back give up on wanting the Black sea back give up on wanting the Azov sea back give up on wanting its cities back its people ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass Russia wants so give it up ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..
FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5:
1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression.
2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility.
3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

GIVING A SURRENDER IS NOT A PEACE DEAL ITS A SHAKE DOWN !!!! Anyone can make a peace deal when they surrender, which is what Trump is asking Ukraine to do. Trump and his admin appear to be Putin's lifeline.
Trump is trying to force Ukraine into a capitulation a total surrender ; masquerading as a" PEACE DEAL " its not a peace deal when only one side must give up everything and the other side gets everything it wants ; and it defiantly not a peace deal when one side must give a 3rd party 50% of its natural resources and get nothing in return !!
This a MAFIA tactic it is putting a gun to someones head and telling them take this deal now; becouse either your brains or your signature will be on the document your choice !
ITS A SHAKE DOWN NOT A PEACE DEAL !!
TRUMP HAS :
- undermining democracy in the US by dismantling the division of forces (lawmaking, judiciary and executive). The core of any democracy. Clearly only benefits Russia
- tariffs hurt everybody (also US) but NOT Russia.
- creating international instability with his talks on Greenland, Canada and Panama. Typical Russian doctrine. If they fight amongst each-other, they don't focus on Russia. You just need to give them something to fight about. THIS ONLY BENEFITS RUSSIA
- his wife Melania was born and raised in communist Yugoslavia. Is she his agent handler??
Its obvious what happened. A US president tried to shake down a foreign leader for mineral rights in Ukraine. The USA has abandoned its leadership role in the world and is now just for sale.
The Republicans have lost their minds and perhaps their souls. Siding with Russia and trying to force Ukraine to accept an unjust "peace" without any security guarantees, other than you give us 50% of your natural resources rare metals your lithium, cobalt, scandium, graphite, tantalum, and niobium in Ukraine and Putin will never attack you because our companies are inside your country !!!!
WOW its was that easy all a long to scare off Putin just send American companies into Ukraine!! LOL ..... That the guarantee thats what they are now telling Zelenskyy this is what Trump and Vance are trying to sell Zelenskyy this is what they say is a security ;
WOW thats fantastic then why did the US. need to send all those weapons in the first place should have just sent in Microsoft, Ford motor company , Heinz Tomato Ketchup , Coca Cola , Mac Donalds. together with some big boys like Conoco Philips, Hecla Mining, Chevron and Goldman Sachs and last but not least The Walt Disney Company!! I hear Mickey Mouse big ears really scares Putin to death -- THEY TRYING TO PLAY UKRAINE AND FOR FOOLS SO WHO IS BEING DISRESPECTFUL HERE !!
ON A SIDE NOTE ; Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, several countries began military operations against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Afghanistan.
UKRAINE WAS ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES Ukraine was with the US. for 11 years side by side back to back with US forces !!!!
Ukraine allowed use of its airspace and airbases to the US and its allies, but only for cargo flights. Ukraine was a participant in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan and deployed troops as part of NATO's ISAF mission to the country. It contributed medical personnel supporting Provincial Reconstruction Teams, and provided instructors for NATO's Training Mission. After ISAF's mission ended in 2014, Ukraine supported the follow-on Resolute Support Mission (2015-2021) that trained, advised and assisted Afghan security forces

The idea that Ukraine is the aggressor in this situation in Crimea and east Ukraine is absurd.
“It’s Russia that invaded Ukraine
It’s Russia that is the military occupier of part of Ukraine, in Crimea.
It’s Russia that, to this day, is fueling a war in eastern Ukraine.
It’s Russia that has failed to implement any of its Minsk commitments…
It’s Russia that’s taken aim repeatedly at Ukraine’s democracy.
And it’s Russia that’s sending troops to Ukraine’s.
All these actions are violations of Ukraine’s sovereignty and an immediate and urgent challenge to peace and stability in Europe,
Let me ask you this ;
Who gives Putin the right to have "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine " we live in 2022 not 1822 ??? What about the people who live in "that so called sphere of interest" that is the sovereign country of Ukriane don't they (the Ukrainian ppl.) have an " sphere of interest in Ukriane itself " ?
Shall the Ukrainians just bend their knee and behave as slaves, and become some sort of quasi 2nd class nation/ country, and have their society run under the heal and accept being kicked by Kremlin's boot of the " sphere of Russian interest " ; Should Ukriane just roll over and let Russia controlled Ukriane for the sole benefit of Putins klan agenda and the geo political intrs. of the Moscow Kremlin kleptocracy elites?: And let Ukraine become some sort of quasi geographical entity for political advantages of the Kremlin ? Or should Ukriane stand up and fight against such tyrannical thing as PUTINS "sphere of interest" as the independent European self governing state it is FIGHT for freedom, sovereignty and self-rule ??
FACT !!! Ukriane was forced into this war by Russia not Russia by Ukriane (or anyone else ) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has no choice he needs to now be the president of a country, that is in a war defending its country and ppl. against a brutal evilaggressor. And the authorities of the aggressor country do not want any peace.
(If the Russia army stops fighting today and goes home back to Russia tomorrow there will be NO war If Ukraine stops fighting today there will be NO Ukraine !! )
It was Russia that broke the Minsk !!
Russia, the state launched the pseudo-elections in the occupied Donetsk and Luhansk, the 'elections' that contradict the letter and spirit of the Minsk agreements, and after those pseudo-elections was done russia then issued a statement the mandate a war, (special operation ) which it had long in all practical teams declared against Ukraine since they invaded crimea and east Ukraine back in 2014 ,”
Also lets not forget that the Russian pseudo-elections in the occupied part of eastern Ukraine had been condemned by the European Union, the U.S., and other G-7 states, as well as most of the UN Security Council members.
"They are not recognized anywhere in the world, except for the organizing country, the Russian Federation. And, unfortunately, this adventure will entail serious questions regarding security and political consequences. An important note: OSCE Special Representative Martin Sajdik also has made an official statement in Minsk saying that the : pseudo-elections in the occupied Donbas categorically contradict the spirit and letter of the Minsk Agreements,.
PUTINS CLAIM;; Putin said ; During these years, Kyiv authorities have ignored and sabotaged the implementation of the Minsk Package of Measures for a peaceful settlement of the crisis and ultimately late last year openly refused to implement it. THE TRUTH AND FACT ; “Minsk Package of Measures” The Minsk agreements of 2014 and 2015 was to establish peace in eastern Ukraine.
The Kremlin has been calling on Kyiv to concede the separatist area a special status via a constitutional reform (point 11) and to hold elections there (point 12). For there to be fair elections, the Ukrainian government has demanded that all armed groups leave the area (point 10), that all Russian heavy weapons be withdrawn (point 3) and for Kyiv to recover control of the Donbas border with Russia (point 9). so for the Minsk to even start it is in Russias ball park they must first remove and withdrawn Russian heavy weapons and armed groups leave the area ; then in accidence with Minsk agreement Ukraine will start hold elections there, but we are all waiting for Russia to remove its combatants first in accidence with Minsk agreement ..

6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!
And here we can clearly see what such guarantees with the west is worth, it has been 8 years now since Russia invaded Ukraine in the east of the country and annexed parts of Ukraine in Crimea AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED so now Russia is going all inn and taking everything THE CAN!!
That is the result of worthless grantees !!
And here's something the WEST is clearly overlooking ; Taiwan , Israel and everyone else is also asking the question; CAN I TRUST THE WEST TO HOLD TO THEIR WORD AND STAND BY THE GUARANTEES THEY GIVE ! and not just Taiwan and Israel, is right now asking themselves those questions, but even small eastern European NATO member states that border Russia, will be asking themselves those questions as well !! IT'S ABOUT TRUST YOU LOSE TRUST YOU LOSE EVERYTHING!!
And her is the real kicker ; Also Iran, North Korea and China will be seeing what is going on and soon they will be thinking the west is weak; And the will be thinking and saying things like, just look what the west did when Russia was calling out their bluff about red lines in Ukraine ... The time is now, we have our chance to stick it to them !!!!
And then we will see China take Taiwan (so no more silicon-chips for you ) and then we will see Iran take Israel (middle east oil all gone and the middles east up in fire ) And when North Korea goes into South no more south Korea as north will take it over as well !!
SO YOUR OPTIONS ARE ,TO TAKE A STAND NOW OR LATER !!

THE TRUTH AND FACT ; “Pro-Nazi Kyiv regime”
The president of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskiy, is Jewish. The Kremlin was on more or less friendly terms with the leader from 2019 until 2021, when relations broke down following the arrest of Viktor Medvedchuk, a pro-Moscow Ukrainian politician, that was more or less undermining Ukraine and being a Kremlin puppet inside the parliament of Ukraine, and the sanctions against television channels linked to him. Russia quickly recognized the electoral wins of both Zelenskiy and his predecessor, Petro Poroshenko.
The accusations that the government is “pro-Nazi” is based on the fact that, during the conflict in Donbas, Ukraine’s armed forces included volunteers from the Azov and Pravy Sektor (Right Sector) battalions, whose members are accused of and smeared by Russia of harboring "neo-Nazi ideology" and honoring the ultranationalist Stepan Bandera.
(Note ; Stepan Bandera attempted to proclaim an independent Ukrainian state in 1941 , the Gestapo put him under house arrest on 5 of July 1941 then sent him to the Sachsenhausen concentration camp until late 1944 .. He is falsely accused of leading the Volhynian massacre by Poland and Russia something he can not have done as he was under arrest in german captivate and a P.O.W form 1941 -1944 at the time in Sachsenhausen concentration camp and the Volhynian massacre was in 1943 ….
This is something the Kremlin constantly overlooks when demonizing Bandera and Ukrainian nationalist honoring him .. )

THE MYTH OF RUSSIA IS A SUPERPOWER ON THE WORLD STAGE DEBUNKED !
For centuries, Russia has seen itself as one of the world's great powers.
This superpower Russia status idea myth, seen by most of the world is now become a declining idea and the world is now seeing that Russia is not and has never been any super power; More and more ppl. now understand that Russia has only been masquerading as a "SUPER POWER " the Kremlin has been presenting itself as one and hiding behind the Myth of super power status; And even for some time the kremlin themself (one can argue) started to believe in their own lies, their own myth making and their own propaganda !
BUT AFTER UKRIANE THIS MYTH IS BUSTED !!
Russia: has only $1.48 trillion annual GDP that makes Russia about the same size economically on the level of Spain if your economy is as small as Spain how can you think even for one min you are some sort of super power, that has some spacial right to be seen on the same level as UK, US , or even China ???
Let's look at some fact here: Russia is closer to Indonesia and Australia economically, than it is UK , Germany , France US or Japan .. !!
And when it comes to having nukes dose that make you a super power, well UK and France has nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) as well and so does North Korea and even israel is claimed to have nuclear weapons, is North Korea or UK and France Super powers becouse they have nuclear weapons ???
1. United States: $20.89 trillion
2. China: $14.72 trillion
3. Japan: $5.06 trillion
4. Germany: $3.85 trillion
5. United Kingdom: $2.67 trillion
6. India: $2.66 trillion
7. France: $2.63 trillion
8. Italy: $1.89 trillion
9. Canada: $1.64 trillion
10. South Korea: $1.63 trillion
11. Russia: $1.48 trillion
12. Brazil: $1.44 trillion
13. Australia: $1.32 trillion
14. Spain: $1.28 trillion
15. Indonesia: $1.05 trillion
Russia is a joke and will always be a joke, Russians have nothing at all to be proud of Stalins USSR and today's Putin's Russia was and are totalitarian states..
Putin is appealing to the most basic of instincts, fears and insecurities in Russians. Many Russians harbor insecurities related to loss of the evil empire that was the USSR, and with that Russians idea of being / having superpower status..
Lets be honest, the Soviet Union 1922–1991 only was in word history for 69 years
Russians have nothing at all to be proud of Stalin the USSR and today's Putin's Russia are and was all totalitarian states..
RuSSia and the Soviet Union was NO better then Hitlers Germany, Pol Potts Cambodia, Idi Amins Uganda, Francos Spain, Mussolini’s Italia, Gaddafi's Libya, Kim Jong-un North Korea and/ or Putins good friend Bashar Al-Assads Syria
Ukrainians, on the other hand have made a new beginning. They are rejecting Russian-style autocracy, reforming the economy and moving against the pervasive corruption of the old regime.
Ukraine naturally and rightfully belongs in Europe. Putin has used every means possible, including military aggression and terrorism to damage and subordinate Ukraine.
He will not succeed. Ukraine's whole history revolves around the struggle for liberty and resistance to foreign oppression. Ukrainians are starkly different to Russians. They are not and have never been mentally slaves of Moscow lies, propaganda and control .

The first woman (taking about bad-boys and good guys ) does not want a partner she wants to be entertained, she wants to live a life in circus of fun and party , with NO responsibility or any accountability for her own actions, she wants to be entertained like a child, and like a child if she is not constantly MENTALLYstimulated she gets board and starts huffing and puffing when she does not get the new toy and you need to be the clown in her circus of life that does the entertaining .. or she will replace you with another bad boy clown ;Just like in that kid-move ToyStory where "woody" used to be the favorite toy and when Buzz Lightyear came (a new toy) he then became the new favorite toy becouse he was more exciting )
(Females are like children: in Toy Story. "Woody" (a child's favorite toy ) has been Andy's (the child) favorite toy until he receives a new toy Buzz Lightyear action figure for his birthday, and quickly becomes fascinated with him.)
What does it mean when a Child Says, “I am bored!” (it means = You must entertain me !)
What does it mean when Your girl / Wife says, “what up / what are we doing today ” (it means = You must entertain me !)
SAME THING !!!
And if you dont play the clown and entertain their little peanut brain they will look for some other form of entreatment and get themself into mischief and trouble
UNDERSTAND THIS THE PROBLEM HER IS NOT YOU IT IS THAT FEMALES ARE AND ALWAYS STAY CHILDREN !! Females /girls do NOT grow up mentally or mature faster then boys thats a myth !!
The feminist of today have grown accustomed to privilege and rights equal to a man, so now when a man says I will not help you because we are equal then this equality feels like oppression to the feminist and not like the “equality” they say they want !
KARAN = K- now your rights A- ccuse everyone R- equest manager E- ntitled N- o brain cells
Karen's are just next step of feminism and female entitlement ; the act in the toxic manner , because they believe they are entitled to special treatment because they are females ; and in most cases they get away with it and they know they will so they bounce between being a boss babe i " know my rights " to acting the victim crocodile ties cry baby victim whatever fits at the time to manipulate whatever situation and they do it in an extremely calculated toxic way with no moral scruples about it
Schrödinger's feminism: a woman is simultaneously strong, independent and empowered and also an appressed victim; until something happens. Then she chooses which state benefits her the most and behaves accordingly.
What women actually want when they want "equality" is :
The societal rights “privilege” of men
The social " authority" of a man
The societal rights and privilege of women
The responsibility of neither a man or a woman
The sexual freedom of a wild animal without judgment
The accountability of a child (preferably a baby girl child)
They just want the best of both worlds, worst of none;
They want everything for nothing
For half a century, women have been marinating themselves in a toxic stew of feminism and entitlement. In short they want a position and role of superiority, without the hassle of responsibility and / or accountability for that position and role
Once the beauty of youth fades, the bitterness of lost pretty privilege sets in, and a new Karen is born.
10 LIES WOMEN ARE TOLD:
1. You can have it all.
2. You are beautiful at any size / weight.
3. You can do anything you want and be as promiscuous as you want.
4. "Mr. Right" is out there and if you wait long enough he will eventually show up.
5. It's okay to be a challenge / disagreeable / a real "Boss Babe" to your man.
6. You will peak in your 30's or even your 40's.
7. If a guy rejects you it's because of him, not you. Just get a new guy.
8. Your career should be your priority.
9. You can "manifest" success, hap

Some important Voltaire Quotes we need to remember in out time ..
* Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. ...
* To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.
And what is the truth? let's look at some facts !
Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine ; And lets not forget that Russia is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources than the Taliban in Afghanistan !!
As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed
Mr, Martin Luther King once said :
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

This is what happens when you let feminists take over and control western society ; the western female feminists themselves start pulling down ("the male built" ) society by and giving other marxist woke ideologist access to power ( like; vegans , BLM , climate change activists, Lgbtq etc) Then you see a decline in traditional social western values systems , society changes and starts the demonization of white males (and that is what radical feminists want ) the death of masculinity the death of a traditional man's role the natural protectors of society are subdued and humiliated to silence shamed and demonized to "stand in the corner " and if they speak out against this sick leftists feminist ideology they are canceled !!!
Just think about it; All of this leftists BS started with feminism demonizing men , pushing men out and taking over, feminizing society. it’s was feminists that started to support lgbtq ++ agenda and other leftists like extremists and they did it , because they believed (and rightfully so ) and thought it will help them get an ally in their war against masculinity and what they call the patriarchy, it help them belittle manhood and what it means to be or not be a man!! they wanted to and have managed to achieve their goals of "muddy the waters "…
It’s a war against heterosexuality males and masculinity!!
Feminism did not create this perversion groups but they used them promoted then for their own benefit and agenda of demonizing a man’s role and identity , to bring down men and elevate women, because women can not compete in any sphere with a man so the only way they had left was destroying and demonizing manhoods role within society.. And now look where we all are !!

As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , becouse Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!

The western feminist females have been supporting (for their own anti male agenda) for years this transgender and Lgbtq ++ movement!!!
The truth is that females have been using the Lgbtq ++ movement as a sledgehammer to hammer down on what they call toxic masculinity ( basically anything male or seen as manly ) to demonize the heterosexual males (and especially white heterosexual males) and they have been doing it for years pushing masculinity into the abyss be calling it toxic belittling anything and everything they can that is "manish " "boyish "!!!
But now those strong independent queens, those girl-bosses types of "I don't need a man" , Me woman strong hear my roar ! , Are getting all buhhhh cry baby about this situation, because their own lgbtq +++ support is coming back full circle to eat its own promoters that are the female feminists , the transgenders are taking-over female sports outsmarting females in feminist sphere Their own ideology and monstercreation they themselves promoted and helped bring forwarded has now turned on them.
But those strong independent females have for years been more than happy to using the transgender Lgbtq ++ agenda against heterosexual males to demonize heterosexual males and belittle boys men ..
But now themonster they was gladly unleashing unto others, have come come full circle , the rooster have come home to roost , and it’s bitting them in their own backside!!!
And now they are SOooo upset why NO one is helping them fight this transgender Lgbtq ++ agenda the horror they themselves helped to unleash on men !! ...
And now the screams we hear from feminists are: Where are all the white knights in shining armor to defend my innocent maiden honor thy cry ?
Well you made your bed now you sleep in it honey , after all you are a strong independent women you don't need a man , and anything a man can do a woman can do as good or even better at-least that what you have been saying all this time ..
So now you have the chance to prove it!!
You go girl !!!

WIKIPEDIA-A-OPEN SOURCE LIKE THAT HAS BEEN EDITED BY RUSSIANS IS NOT EVIDENCE !! THE AZOV is NOT-nazi !!!
When it comes to The Russian scare tactics about millions nazi inside Ukraine army and government WE NEED TO understand they are trying to come up with a justification for there illegal invasion of Ukraine
And trying to explain this to most pro. Russians in the west that already subscribe to the kremlin propaganda is like trying to convince a wolf from Aesop's its wrong ... The wolf and the lamb. The wolf knows the lamb neither disturbed the water, nor had relatives who insulted the wolf. The wolf is looking for a justification to eat the lamb "legally". its that simple they (pro putnist )know they are in the wrong but need to try and justify the actions ..
In the AZOV battalion you have ppl. from 22 dif, countries and various backgrounds, including Arabs, Russians, and Americans—as well as Christians, Muslims, and Jew's 2015, Andriy Diachenko, the spokesperson for the regiment at the time said that 10 to 20 percent of Azov’s recruits had some sort of semi Nazis ideology that maybe seen and used by others to discredit the unit .For example, the uniform carries what some may think is the neo-Nazi Wolfsangel symbol, which resembles a black swastika on a yellow background. The group said it is merely an amalgam of the letters “N” and “I” which represent “national idea”. old slavic pagan symbol
Alex Borisov, 44, a trainer for Ukraine's military, said he spent two weeks teaching shooting and tactics to a group of brigade members who speak mostly Russian."I didn't see any fascists or anti-Semites," Borisov said. "And I tell you this as a Jewish guy."
WIKIPEDIA-A-OPEN SOURCE LIKE THAT HAS BEEN EDITED BY RUSSIANS IS NOT EVIDENCE !! THE AZOV is NOT-nazi !!!

The common Russian man to what i see in most interviews aren't very bright about what goes on in the rest of the world. When Russia calls north Korea, iran, syria and china their allies, that says a-lot about Russia. That says a-lot about Russia as a state. The ukraine president is a jew so how is it logical that he is a nazi or that he is upporting nazi. Thats what the common Russian person doesn't seem to understand or even what to.
IMO. Putin doesnt want democracy flourishing in Ukraine...its simple. Its not NATO and their arms. Putin knows that if the people of russia most of whom are poor sees the success of ukrainez they will start to question him and his ideology....every dictator fears that. Its not NATO, its Putin's fear of his people turning in on him. NATO and Ukraine he can start a war with, pillage and rape them....but if its his own people turning on him, thats the worst nightmare for any dictator.

@fortificationenjoyer1919 A growing number of Russian analysts, in Russia and abroad, have taken to calling Vladimir Putin's regime "fascist." And they don't use the term casually or as a form of opprobrium. They mean that Putin's Russia genuinely resembles Mussolini's Italy or Hitler's Germany.
One of the most recent examples was Mikhail Iampolski. According to the Russian-born NYU professor, "the appeal of quasi-fascist discourse was predictable" as the Russian economy tanked. Moscow rejects "[a]nything that could be seen as a sign of weakness or femininity," including liberalism and homosexuality, and then projects these qualities onto the enemy. Consequently, "Ukrainians are systematically accused of fascism, while Russian fascism is displaced by a false idealization of one's own image."
In March, Moscow commentator Yevgeni Ikhlov charged Putin with introducing a "left fascism" that, while "anti-market and quasi-collectivist," is "fascism because it is a form of a militant and most primitive philistinism." In January 2015, Andrei Zubov, fired from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations for opposing Putin's Ukraine policies, argued that Russia's President was building "a corporate state of a fascist type packaged in Soviet ideology, the ideology of Stalinism," resulting in a Russia that closely resembles Italian fascism with its "nationalism and union with the church." Moscow-based analyst Aleksei Shiropaiev claimed that Russia was moving toward fascism "at a galloping pace." Russian fascism "has become a FACT," "mass Russian consciousness remains absolutely imperialist and chauvinist," and most Russians have "ACCEPTED fascination and are ready to agree to even massive political repressions."
But are the analysts right? The evidence is compelling. Fascist regimes have charismatic dictators with hyper-masculine personality cults. These regimes generally evince a hyper-nationalist ethos, a cult of violence, mass mobilization of youth, high levels of repression, powerful propaganda machines, and imperialist projects. Fascist regimes are hugely popular—usually because the charismatic leader appeals to broad sectors of the population. Putin and his Russia fit the bill perfectly.
In calling Putin's Russia fascist, Russian critics have proven to be far bolder than their non-Russian counterparts in the West, who remain wary about the F-word. Some Westerners genuinely believe that Putin's brand of dictatorship differs from past fascist regimes. They often locate the differences in the historical conditions that gave rise to Hitler, Mussolini, and Putin, and not in the actual characteristics of their regimes. But doing so confuses the origins of similar things with their essential features. No one would say that America is not democratic because the origins of American democracy lay in revolution and not, as with Britain, in historical evolution.
But many Westerners fear the implications of calling a spade a spade. If Putin's Russia is fascist, then it is comparable to Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy and, thus, certifiably evil. And that means that calls for understanding Putin amount to calls for understanding evil. So it's better to pretend that Russia isn't fascist. Hence the popularity of abstruse designations like managed democracy and sovereign democracy or terms—such as Putinism—that only state the obvious.
A similar conceptual change is likely to take place with fascism. As the chorus of Russian voices using the F-word grows, Western policymakers who insist that we should listen to Putin and understand his point of view will have no choice but to listen to and understand his critics.
Calling Putin's system fascist will mark a conceptual breakthrough in Western attitudes—and perhaps policies—toward Russia. Viewing his state as evil does not necessitate rattling sabers.
Soft power and diplomacy will remain no less important than hard power.
But the conceptual shift would recognize that Putin and his regime are the problem, and that the problem will go away only when he and his regime go away. In a word, there are no quick fixes to the Putin problem. The West is in for a long, hard slog involving economic and military support for Ukraine and its neighbors, the containment of Russian imperialism, and support for anti-fascist elements within Russia. The good news is that, now as then, democracy will win.
According to the famous historian Norman Davies, fascism, like communism, Putinisem, Nazissem , fascist ect ect can be defined by the following features:
* A pseudo-scientific conceptual basis (the believe of Russian 3rd Rom )
* A utopian goal (the Russiki Mir and Russians domains of a new Russian world )
* A structure of a party-state (the restructure of the USSR borders centralized power into the hands of the kremlin under one leader Mr PUTIN himself )
* An autocratic leadership that demands complete devotion (Putinisem ideology )
* Pervasive use of terror to prevent and eradicate dissent ( Going after to destroy /neutralize anyone and/or anything national within Russia and internationally out side of Russia East Ukraine , SyrIa Chechnya, Moldova , Georgia, ect ect )
* Extensive and complex bureaucracy ( Using tax office in a selective way to take out personal opponents of Putins Regime and putting control to manhandle the and banking and business community )
* State propaganda and censorship (RT-News ect ect and othe KREMLIN controlled media using force and pressure turning them into mouthpieces for Putins regimes own agenda )
* Martial culture and aesthetics of force (The state and Russian belief in ethnic Russian superiority and of Russian historical culture)
* Purposely induced fear of the ever-present external enemy (use state service like FSB, GRU , media to intimidate and scare ppl. about the dangers from the west like NATO , US ect ect )
* Mentality of hate and intolerance (Anti other ethnic groups likeUkrainians, Muslims, Tatars , Kazakhstanis and others ect ect )
* Economic and mental collectivism (Putin has vast control over the gas and oil sectors and uses it as a political tool )
* Militarism (Rebuilding and promoting and using Military to attack and subdue the people like in the caucasus Chechnya ect ect )
* Messianism (Putin the half naked hours reading and bear wrestling superman is definitely believed by Russians to be a type of messiah, who acts as a savior, redeemer or liberator of a group of people.
* Contempt for liberal democracy and values (Putins regime is anti LGBT.anti democracy Anti free press Anti free expression of art just look at-PussyRiot-and- Anna Politkovskaya ect ect )
* Moral nihilism ( is the meta-ethical view that nothing is intrinsically moral or immoral take a look how Russia lies about invading other nations and killing civilians and support of terrorism, and then turn AROUND and say that it was to defend the good and freedoms of Russia there it acted in its selfdefense becouse of external pressure for outside force gave them no other choice )
Clearly all of those are also characteristics of the Putin regime. Today in Russia, President Putin has the unquestionable control over Parliament, Government, courts, media and the most profitable sectors of the country's economy.
So, we have every reason to declare that modern Russia is in fact, an authoritarian fascist state with the genuine fascist elements, most prominently – the oppressive nature, the militarization of society, strict control over the mass media and complete disregard to human life

@fortificationenjoyer1919 Russia is a joke and will always be a joke, Russians have nothing at all to be proud of Stalins USSR and today's Putin's Russia was and are totalitarian states..
Putin is appealing to the most basic of instincts, fears and insecurities in Russians. Many Russians harbor insecurities related to loss of the evil empire that was the USSR, and with that Russians idea of being / having superpower status..
With Putin now Russians would like to reclaim this feeling and idea of the superpower status lol...being to look big is something dyp in the ethnopsychological aspects of the RuSSian mentality that makes them feel drawn to the "strong leader "
Lets look at Russia today ..
Russia today is known mostly for being nothing more than a petrol-state run by an oligarch elite that answers to only one leadership, the strongman Mr Vladimir Vladimirovitch Putin himself...
Russia is one step away from a banana-dictatorship and is in all but name a fascist state and to deflect from the world this simple facts, Putins Russia uses total strong hold and control over the media and information flow and control over Russia's gas energy sector, military, FSB and Police force.
When ever Putin feels that it is needed Putin's thugs the FSB boys take control of anything they want and they do this internally and externally, all this gets backed up with source of lies and propaganda to deflect the world from the real truth about what Russia really is, a mentally sick nation and society full of people controlled and living in a dream of a past that never really existed (or at least not in the way they wish it was )
Let's be honest, the Soviet Union 1922–1991 only was in world history for 69 years not much of a superpower if you only can claim 69 years in history, before you was wiped out of existence ...69 years my grandmother Bessy is older than that LOL
Or what am i not right ????? USSR can only claim 69 years it started in 1922 and was dissolved in 1991 ....
Russians USSR a super power don't make me laugh....it was nothing more and RuSSia today still is nothing more then a evil state run by evil little people that just has some nukes under their control.. and as the cowards they are wave around themselves this weapons and shout about them to make themselves look big..
Russians have nothing at all to be proud of Stalin the USSR and today's Putin's Russia are and was all totalitarian states..
RuSSia and the Soviet Union was NO better than Hitler's Germany, Pol Potts Cambodia, Idi Amin's Uganda, Franco's Spain, Mussolini’s Italia, Gaddafi's Libya, Kim Jong-un North Korea and/ or Putins good friend Bashar Al-Assad's Syria
Ukrainians, on the other hand have made a new beginning. They are rejecting Russian-style autocracy, reforming the economy and moving against the pervasive corruption of the old regime.
Ukraine naturally and rightfully belongs in Europe. Putin has used every means possible, including military aggression and terrorism to damage and subordinate Ukraine.
He will not succeed. Ukraine's whole history revolves around the struggle for liberty and resistance to foreign oppression. Ukrainians are starkly different to Russians. They are not and have never been mentally slaves of Moscow lies, propaganda and control .
The face of true evil Putin's RuSSia and propaganda

@abelederon855 Same coin just the other side !! Nazism-Fascism-and-Socialism-Are-All-Rooted-in-Communism-and-Marxism !!!!
The concept of a “far left” that is opposed to a “far right” is false. The systems placed on the two ends of that spectrum, including socialism, fascism, and Nazism, are all rooted in communism. And all of them share beliefs in core communist concepts, including state collectivism, planned economies, and class struggle.
All of them were merely different interpretations of Marxism, and played heavily in global politics just after World War I, at a time when the ideas of Karl Marx failed to materialize and communists had gone back to the drawing board.
Before we get into the history of these divergent systems, however, we first need to understand the rift between socialism and communism.
Socialism was described in Marx’s theory of the five stages of civilization.
After he helped frame the concept of “capitalism” as a society in which people are able to trade freely, he proposed that after capitalism would come the stage of “socialism,” followed by “communism.”
Socialism was the stage that Vladimir Lenin described as the “state-capitalist monopoly,” in which a dictatorship has seized control of all means of production.
The idea was that a communist regime would use the absolute power of the socialist “dictatorship of the proletariat” to destroy all values, all religion, all institutions, and all traditions—which would theoretically lead to the communist “utopia.”
In other words, socialism is the political system, and communism is the ideological goal.
This is why followers of communism argue that “true communism” has never been achieved. The system has thus far failed to utterly destroy human morals and beliefs, although it has taken the lives of more than 100 million people over the last 100 years.
“Before the Russian Revolution of 1917, ‘socialism’ and ‘communism’ were synonyms,” this was stated by Bryan Caplan an associate professor of economics at George Mason University, states in the chapter on communism in “The Concise Encyclopedia of Economics.”
“Both socialism’ and ‘communism referred to economic systems in which the government owns the means of production,” Caplan states. “The two terms diverged in meaning largely as a result of the political theory and practice of Vladimir Lenin.”
Of course, the failings of Marx’s predictions is also what gave rise to the many interpretations of communism that emerged following World War I. These included Leninism, fascism, and Nazism.
As the world boiled in the turmoil that led to World War I between 1914 and 1918, many communists looked to the words of Marx, who in the 1848 “Communist Manifesto” said, “Workers of the world, unite.”
Yet, the workers of the world did not unite—at least not how Marx envisioned it. Instead of rallying behind communism, they largely rallied behind their respective kings, government, nations and countries. (their own nations national interest if you will ) and In addition, the livelihood of workers became better under capitalism, as opposed to Marx’s predictions that it would become worse. Then, when the communist revolution did happen, it did not happen in the “late-stage capitalist” societies which at the time were Britain and Germany, (nations doing well ) but instead in Russia a nation doing very badly economy at the time.
And instead of the Bolshevik Revolution being the “proletariat” against the “bourgeoisie,” as Marx predicted, it was the military and intelligentsia against the feudal Russian tsarist system.
The series of events largely disproved Marx’s predictions, and it sent communists of the time back to the drawing board, as was noted by bestselling author Dinesh D’Souza in his book “The Big Lie: Exposing the Nazi Roots of the American Left.”
After Lenin, the next communist revisionist to take the world stage was Benito Mussolini, (yes Mussolini was a marxist communist before he started Fascism ) who took from World War I the lesson that nationalism was more uniting than the idea of a worker’s revolution. He thus revised Marxism into his new system of fascism, using the collectivist principle of “fasci,” which refers to a bundle of sticks reinforcing the handle of an ax.
Mussolini explained his concept in his 1928 autobiography, in which he states, “The citizen in the Fascist State is no longer a selfish individual who has the anti-social right of rebelling against any law of the Collectivity.”
(sounds just like marxism becouse it is.. it is a Collectivity centralization of power and the means of production )
According to “Russia Under the Bolshevik Regime” by Richard Pipes, “No prominent European socialist before World War I resembled Lenin more closely than Benito Mussolini. Like Lenin, he headed the anti -revisionist wing of the country’s Socialist Party; like him, he believed that the worker was not by nature a revolutionary and had to be prodded to radical action by an intellectual elite.”
Then soon after, Adolph Hitler emerged with his re-branded socialist system under the banner of “national socialism.” (German: Nationalsozialismus), more commonly known as Nazism (/ˈnɑːtsiɪzəm, ˈnæt-/), is the ideology and practices associated with the Nazi Party—officially the National Socialist German Workers' Party (Nationalsozialistische Deutsche Arbeiterpartei or NSDAP))
Taking advantage of the fact that the German people had been divided by new national borders established by the armistice, Hitler used identity politics (like the left still do today ) to rally his followers.
The policies of the Nazi Party followed the communist model, and the 25-point program included universal free health care and education, nationalization of large corporations and trusts, government control of banking and credit, the splitting of large landholdings into smaller units, and similar policies.
In addition, “Mussolini and Hitler both identified socialism as the core of the fascist and Nazi Weltanschauung [way of life].
Mussolini was the leading figure of Italian revolutionary socialism and never relinquished his allegiance to it. Hitler’s party defined itself as championing ‘national socialism.'” ( National Socialist German Workers' Party )
Like all other communist ideologues, Hitler was also viciously opposed to the traditional capitalist system. Just as Lenin blamed wealthy farmers, and Mao Zedong blamed landlords, Hitler transferred blame to a single group of people—the Jews.
As “Nazi anti-Semitism grew out of Hitler’s hatred for capitalism. Hitler draws a crucial distinction between productive capitalism, which he can abide, and finance capitalism, which he associates with the Jews.” (and therefore he is disliking of what he called the international jewish bankers )
The conflict that later took place between the various systems during World War II was not a battle of opposite ideologies, but instead a fight over which interpretation of communism would prevail.
According to “The Road to Serfdom” by F.A. Hayek, “The conflict between the fascist or national-socialist and the older socialist parties must indeed very largely be regarded as the kind of conflict which is bound to arise between rival socialist factions.”
We can thank historical revisionism and plenty of mental gymnastics for the current narrative that socialism is somehow separate from Nazism and fascism and, even more so, the belief that these concepts are somehow divorced from their communist origins.
We can attributes this narrative shift to what Sigmund Freud called “transference,” based on his idea that people who commit terrible acts often transfer blame onto others, accusing others, including their victims, of being what they, themselves, are.

MAGA: = Moscow Agent (‘Krasnov’) Governing America
Ukraine had an absolutely identical situation in Ukraine, when the Russian agent Yanukovych won the presidential elections back in 2010.
The fact that he was recruited by the Russian security service the FSB has already been well documented at this point (he is now living in MOSCOW with 40 billion dollars of stolen Ukrainian state funds.
The people of Ukraine, were absolutely confused. when Putins boy Yanukovych took office ; when they did not know what to do. they were apathetic and had no leaders.
When Yanukovych got into office he was fast to put other Russian agents in all the key gov. positions. Just so you understand, Yanukovych put a guy who had Russian citizenship in the post of Minister of Defense of Ukraine. Yanukovych and his people destroyed the Ukrainian army by systematic dismantling and shutting down departments; and in 4 years, stole the country's budget. Because of this, Ukraine was absolutely unprepared for the annexation of Crimea and the invasion of Russian "green men" in east Ukraine 2014.
I'm not the smartest person in the world, how come Trump is the only president to ever sucked up to Russia, and look how quick he's collapsing the US economy and now the US Allies turning their backs to America, starting a trade war with of all countries Canada 🇨🇦 and Mexico 🇲🇽
Americans! You are now in the same situation as Ukraine were. Your so-called president is a KGB recruit, agent "Krasnov". This has already been confirmed from various sources. And what he does now confirms it even more. Just look at who he appoints to key positions. How he betrays Ukraine and European allies. How he idolizes Putin. What other signals do you need to start acting?
MAGA and Putin are aligned, they want to make sure to make sure they sit with the money and power ; they don't like the free society. They aren't making a mistake. We are still not getting it
Trump:
1. Threatens their ex-ally Canada with economic ruin if they don't allow the US to take them over "voluntarily".
2. Threatens Denmark that they will take Greenland from them one way or another because they wants it my precious, so they will haves it.
3. Aligns with dictators including Russia, China and North Korea in a vote against democratic Ukraine, and cuts off support for them while at the same time trying to extort an unreasonable "deal" for a large amount of their natural resources with no guarantees they'll try to get back their land from Russia in return.
4. "Negotiates" behind Ukraine's back with Russia asking them for zero concessions, and then sets up Zelenskyy in an interview complete with the Russian state media in attendance in a way that seems straight out of the CCP's playbook on trying to de-power and twist the narrative on your opponents.
Hang on, are we really surprised that the US is now an ally of Russia given their expansionist, dictator like behavior lately? They're starting to look just as bad as Trump's new buddies.
5. Europe needs to make a defense alliance's with one for all all for one (an article agreement for Europe can call it EATO European Atlantic Treaty organization its that easy !!
Trump is trying to force Ukraine into a capitulation a total surrender ; masquerading as a" PEACE DEAL " its not a peace deal when only one side must give up everything and the other side gets everything it wants ; and it defiantly not a peace deal when one side must give a 3rd party 50% of its natural resources !! This is putting a gun to some head and telling them make the deal becouse either you brains or your signature will be on the document !
Zelenskyy says he is willing to come to an fare agreement but in exchange Ukraine needs solid security guarantees to secure Ukraines sovereignty and safety within its own borders and what has Trump offered of " the Trump security guarantees " he offered that American companies can start up in UKRAINE and that will make Putin (according to the Donald) think twice about attacking Ukraine in the further !!
WOW its was that easy all a long to scare off Putin just send American companies into Ukraine!! LOL .....
That the guarantee!!!! thats what they are now telling Zelenskyy this is what Trump and Vance are trying to sell Zelenskyy this is what they saying is a solid security he can take back to the Ukrainians mothers ; thats what their sons ended up killed for when they so heroically defended their country form Putins aggression ..
WOW thats fantastic then why did they (the US ) send all those weapons in the first place?
US. should have just sent in Microsoft, Ford motor company , Heinz Tomato Ketchup , Coca Cola , Mac Donalds. together with some big boys like ConocoPhillips, Hecla Mining, Chevron and Goldman Sachs and last but not least The Walt Disney Company!!
I hear Mickey Mouse big ears really scares Putin to death -- !!!!
TRUMP AND VANCE ARE TRYING TO PLAY UKRAINIANS FOR FOOLS; AND STEAL UKRAINIANS NATURAL MINERALS, SO WHO IS BEING DISRESPECTFUL HERE !!
FACT In Ukraine there was already American and European interests and massive companies in Ukraine before the war but Putin still invaded; so this is just Trump talking BS to get 50% of Ukraines natural resources for nothing and then turn around and say look what a master deal maker I am the art of the deal !!

Massive American Aid Has Helped Russians Three Times in the Last Century..
Under the bland title of the Lend-Lease Act, American taxpayers sent to the Soviet people, from 1941o to 1945, $11.3 billion worth of war supplies. That is $146 billion in contemporary dollars.
This steel river of jeeps, trucks and bombers was neither a loan nor a lease. Franklin Roosevelt chose that title in the hopes of deluding American isolationists who opposed what they saw (correctly) as an outright gift to Moscow.
What did this money buy for the USSR? 3,770 bombers, 11,594 fighter planes, 5,980 anti-aircraft guns, 2,000 railroad locomotives, 51,000 jeeps, 361,000 trucks, 56,445 field telephones, 600,000 kilometers of telephone wire, 22 million artillery shells, almost one billion rifle cartridges, and 15 million pairs of army boots.
Shipped through the North Atlantic, driven up through Persia, or flown in from Alaska, this ready-made war material also freed up 600,000 Soviet factory workers to directly fight the Nazi invaders. http://blogs.voanews.com/russia-watch/2012/09/25/making-the-kremlin-queasy-massive-american-aid-has-helped-russians-three-times-in-the-last-century/

@Gerrard_Pike2008 You say Russia owns Georgia !! what planet are you living in Planet kremlin delusion ??? is Georgia a sovereign state Georgia is a representative democracy governed as a unitary parliamentary republic. ... It is a developing country with a very high Human Development Index. Following the peaceful Rose Revolution in 2003, Georgia strongly pursued a pro-Western foreign policy; it introduced a series of democratic and economic reforms aimed at integration into the European Union and NATO. The country's Western orientation soon led to high growth and prosperity ; the economic reforms since independence have led to higher levels of economic freedom, as well as reductions in corruption indicators, poverty, and unemployment.
The country is a member of international organizations, such as the Council of Europe, the OSCE, Eurocontrol, the EBRD, the BSEC, the GUAM, the ADB, the WTO, and the Energy Community.
Georgia maintains good relations with its direct neighbours Armenia, Azerbaijan, and Turkey, and is a member of the United Nations, the Council of Europe, the World Trade Organization, the Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation, the Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe, the Community of Democratic Choice, the GUAM Organization for Democracy and Economic Development, the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development and the Asian Development Bank.
Georgia also maintains political, economic, and military relations with France, Germany ,Israel, Japan, South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, The United States, and many other NATO and western countries.
The explicit western orientation of Georgia, deepening political ties with the US and European Union, notably through its EU and NATO membership aspirations, the US Train and Equip military assistance programme, and the construction of the Baku–Tbilisi–Ceyhan pipeline !!
Georgia is currently working to become a full member of NATO. In August 2004, the Individual Partnership Action Plan of Georgia was submitted officially to NATO. On 29 October 2004, the North Atlantic Council of NATO approved the Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP) of Georgia, and Georgia moved on to the second stage of Euro-Atlantic Integration. In 2005, the agreement on the appointment of Partnership for Peace (PfP) liaison officer between Georgia and NATO came into force.
In 2011, the North Atlantic Council designated Georgia as an "aspirant country". Since 2014, Georgia–NATO relations are guided by the Substantial NATO–Georgia Package (SNGP), which includes the NATO–Georgia Joint Training and Evaluation Centre and facilitation of multi-national and regional military drills
SO WHAT ARE YOU TAKING ABOUT RUSSIA OWNS GEORGIA !!

1. if I had 20,000 Russian soldiers pointing their weapons at me when I was standing at the voting-box I would vote Yes in a referendum as well THAT DOES NOT make it legal
When RuSSia actually get another country (besides North Korea and a couple of other basket-cases) to support the claim of ownership of Crimea, I hope Putin will let us know, In the meantime, Putin can and will do what the Kremlin like there, but it will always belong to Ukraine and in the end it will go back to Ukraine.
2. It is time to use the Russian historical argument, logic and tactics to take Kaliningrad and give it back to Germany as I am sure Putin will understand the logic..
Kaliningrad is the little green chunk of Europe located just north of modern day Poland.
Russia came to be in control of the Kaliningrad / Konigsberg area, which was always part of Germany in history
How can Russia justify occupying this chunk of Germany is nothing more than hypocritical when we look at the so called argument for crimean and historical justice lol
Kaliningrad is a seaport and the administrative center of Kaliningrad Oblast, the Russian exclave between Poland and Lithuania on the Baltic Sea. The territory, the northern part of the former East Prussia,(germany ) borders on NATO and EU members Poland and Lithuania, and is geographically separated from the rest of Russia.
3 THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently, make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.

@yellowtunes2756 PUTINS CLAIM; ; Putin said ; I would like to remind you that at the beginning, on the morning of February 24, I publicly announced the reasons for and the main goal of Russia’s actions. It is to help our people in Donbas, who have been subjected to real genocide for nearly eight years in the most barbarous ways, that is, through a blockade, large-scale punitive operations, terrorist attacks and constant artillery raids.
THE TRUTH AND FACT ;“Genocide” Both NGOs and journalists in the Donbas region confirm that no systematic killing has occurred in the area since the conflict broke out in 2014. . At the Munich Security Conference in February, German Chancellor Olaf Scholz said that the term genocide was inapplicable to the situation in Donbas, describing Russia’s claims as “ridiculous.”
PUTINS CLAIM; ; Putin said ; Their only transgression was to demand basic human rights: to live according to their forefathers’ laws and traditions, to speak their native language, and to bring up their children as they see fit.
THE TRUTH AND FACT ;“Native language”
Russian is the second-most spoken language in Ukraine. In 2019, the previous Ukrainian government approved a law to strengthen the Ukrainian language. Under this law, classes must be given in Ukrainian and all Russian media must also provide a version in Ukrainian if transmitting within Ukriane ; just like any other country the state language is used in public finished schools French in France, Spanish in Spain , English in England . (no one is forced or required to speak Ukrainian or any other language they don't want to speak in public space among themselves )

@yellowtunes2756 Let’s look at Ukraine’s disgraced former President, (Putins boy) Mr . Victor Yanukovych . After he fled to Putin with billions of stolen money the Kremlin-backed politician and his cronies (made away with $40 billion in state Ukrainian assets disappear ) the idea that he remained the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state, and therefore the manner in which he was replaced was automatically illegitimate, was commonplace. This line of thinking was heavily promulgated by his new host country for reasons that are self-evident. But was it right, or even logical, to claim this?
The legitimacy of the Yanukovych regime indeed began with a somewhat fair election, albeit an election in which the Ukrainian people had no good other choices at the time
(NOTE : Yanukovych was backed up by Moscow controlled media and corrupted elites that have dealings with the Kremlin and media inside Ukraine) .
But could that legitimacy go on unquestioned despite the blatant grand scale theft of state resources? No. Of course it could not.
Common hooligans and thugs were brought to Kyiv by the Yanukovych authorities to beat down on the students protesting Yanukovych authorities corruption (first recorded on Nov. 29, 2013when the protested was just a few days old) Yanukovych thugs mission was to terrorize the residents of the capital and beat down the students protesting Yanukovych . This act was completely in contradiction to Article 3 of the constitution that Yanukovych was elected to uphold. It was more than right to question Yanukovych’s legitimacy after this and the Ukrainian people did just that after seeing young students getting beat up by Yanukovych imported thugs in the streets of Kyiv, this act of state terrors, enraged the people even more and other joined the students protesting Yanukovych , now demanding his removal of office.
Lets take a closer look into legitimacy of Yanukovych Presidency..
Can the legitimacy of a ruling authority survive past the blatantly illegal adoption of laws designed to end democracy and create a dictatorship? No. Of course it cannot. Yet, this is what the Yanukovych controlled Party of Regions attempted to do on Jan. 16, 2014. Later analysis of images taken in parliament that while 235 MPs were declared to have voted for these “dictatorship” laws, only about half of this number of MPs were actually in the session hall when the vote was taken (by a show of hands – also illegal.)
After such clearly anti-democratic and dishonest actions, can anyone consider that authority to be legitimate? The actions were a breach of Article 5 of Ukraine’s constitution – something that Yanukovych was under oath to protect and uphold. But he failed to keep his word.
There were more violations of the constitution by Yanukovych, its supposed protector.
Article 27 of Ukraine’s constitution says that “Every person shall have the inalienable right to life. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of life.” Yet Yuri Verbitsky, a 42 year old geologist from Lviv, was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by forces belonging to the Yanukovych regime between Jan. 22 and Jan. 25 of 2014.
That Yanukovych had already lost any legitimacy by this point should be beyond question. Later, of course, came the deaths of many more people on Jan. 18 and then Jan. 20, after which Yanukovych fled to Russia, insisting his authority and position were still legitimate. Define legitimate.
The idea that legitimacy carries on from appointment without further question is a complete fallacy. It is something that we should refuse to accept. An elected leader most certainly can lose their legitimacy through illegal and/or unconstitutional, actions. The most recent public attempt at increasing the fog blurring the distinction between legitimately elected and legitimate comes from Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Bottom line, they are not the same, although it is easy to see why Russia’s ruling clan would seek to pretend that they are.

5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties

“Is there a way out? ” Yes, But that will require giving up claims to what is today Ukrainian land an returning that land back to Ukraine that is today's rightful owners the Ukrainian stated that is today's Ukraine.

@yellowtunes2756 There are at least 12 potential pockets of separatism in Russia, and these movements are being brutally oppressed by Kremlin. The term used by Russian state media for these oppressive special operations by Russian military in Caucasus is 'destroying of insurgent forces'. But, at the same time, on the same TV screens, Russian journalists call pro-Russian separatists in Eastern Ukraine not ‘insurgents’ but ‘militia’ or ‘home guards’. It’s absolutely clear why they do it: Moscow is trying its best to preserve integrity of its fragile empire, but cynically intervenes into internal affairs of Ukraine. But Putin cornered himself, not realizing that his own country, Russian Federation, is more fragile than it seems. Separatism, which Putin exports to Ukraine, will return to him like multiple boomerangs and can destroy Russia in the nearest future.

@yellowtunes2756 Putin started it so it would end with the defeat of Ukraine and the Ukrainian peoples/ nations aspirations of true self-government true independence and democratic nation, that was fare away from the hegemony control and orbit of Russia … IN OTHER words with our collapse of Ukrainian society.
It helps him keep Ukraine on the Kremlin hook and hegemony control and helps Putin feel himself as an influential leader negotiating with the West. So, why would he need peace?
And before someone starts up about Russia right to protect itself from the "western incursion and decadent western incorrectness of political arrogance" (whatever that means ) and therefor Russian needs a "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine "
Let me ask you this ; Who gives Putin the right to have "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine " we live in 2022 not 1822 ??? What about the people who live in "that so called sphere of interest" that is the sovereign country of Ukraine don't they (the Ukrainian ppl.) have an " sphere of interest in Ukraine itself " ?
Shall the Ukrainians just bend their knee and behave as slaves, and become some sort of quasi 2nd class nation/ country, and have their society run under the heal and accept being kicked by Kremlin's boot of the " sphere of Russian interest " ; Should Ukraine just roll over and let Russia controlled Ukraine for the sole benefit of Putins klan agenda and the geo political intrs. of the Moscow Kremlin kleptocracy elites?: And let Ukraine become some sort of quasi geographical entity for political advantages of the Kremlin ? Or should Ukraine stand up and fight against such tyrannical thing as PUTINS "sphere of interest" as the independent European self governing state it is FIGHT for freedom, sovereignty and self-rule ??
FACT !!! Ukraine was forced into this war by Russia not Russia by Ukraine (or anyone else ) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has no choice he needs to now be the president of a country, that is in a war defending its country and ppl. against a brutal evilaggressor. And the authorities of the aggressor country do not want any peace.
(If the Russia army stops fighting today and goes home back to Russia tomorrow there will be NO war If Ukraine stops fighting today there will be NO Ukraine !! )
Ukraine, Georgia , Moldova the Baltic's and the rest of Eastern Europe don't want your Russian world (KGB Putin Stalinism strong man BS ) they want western democracy freedom and choice so let them make their own future there own mistakes and there own success those ppl. countries and nations don't want your Moscow /Kremlin HEGEMONY called Russki Mir or your so called Russian greatness of special rights of so called 3rd Rome !!
Let's take a look at Ukraine and the same goes for Georgia and other countries that Moscow wants to bully and kick around !!
Ukraine is a sovereign nation with rights and should be free to govern itself. Russia as a political entity has never had the best interest of the Ukraine and its people at heart. The Ukrainians have a distinct and rich culture, their own language, and a desire for self-rule, liberty and freedom to make decisions of its own.
Russia wants to control Ukraine so it can obtain its resources for its own benefit (as has happened throughout history). Ukraine in its east and south has in-fact the 3rd biggest oil and gas reservers in Europe and should those resources start getting taped and sold to the west then Russia has a massive competitor on its hands for the European market !! You don't believe me google Ukraine shield gas reserves !!
Russian control has never been for the benefit of the Ukrainian people. BUT HERE"S THE REAL POINT: even if it had been, Ukraine is still a sovereign nation and has the right to rule itself!!!
The Russian state has sought to control Ukraine and to deceive the rest of the world into believing that there is no Ukrainian culture or language, and that Ukraine is simply a dissident Russian state through use of propaganda and oppression has repeatedly attempted to wipe out the Ukrainian people and culture.
Do I need to mention the millions of Ukrainians killed by the Russian government? The fear and repression of Ukraine under Russian rule? The families lost behind the "Iron Curtain?"
The Holodomor genocide when Russia killed 10 mill Ukrainians in 1933 - 1934 and after that replaced then with ethnic Russians manly in the east of Ukraine (todays Donbas ) for crying out loud?
And that is why after 1991 the Ukrainians rally around their rich and beautiful culture - because it is THEIRS. And because they deserve a voice of their own, and to live free from the oppression of of foreign state that seeks to exploit and obliterate them!
Russian controlled soviet union former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect ...couldn't wait to join NATO and the EU to get as fare away from Russian hegemony control as fast as the possibly can at the time .
If the Russians weren't suchaaaaholes, they wouldn't have to worry about EU NATO and former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect running too the front door of EU and NATO .

@yellowtunes2756 NATO, Nazis, Satanists: Putin is running out of excuses for his imperial war !!
Why did Vladimir Putin invade Ukraine? The answer to this question really depends on when you’re asking. In the months leading up to the invasion, the Russian dictator focused his ire on NATO and sought to blame rising tensions around Ukraine on the military alliance’s post-Cold War expansion. As his troops crossed the border on February 24, Putin changed tack and declared a crusade against “Ukrainian Nazis.” More recently, he has sought to portray Ukraine as a “terrorist state” while insisting that Russia is in fact fighting against “Satanism.”
None of these arguments stands up to serious scrutiny. Instead, the various different narratives coming out of the Kremlin reflect Moscow’s increasingly desperate efforts to justify what is in reality an old-fashioned colonial war of imperial conquest.
Putin has long sought to use NATO expansion as an excuse for his own aggressive foreign policies. This plays well with the Russian public and also resonates among segments of the international community who believe the United States has become too dominant since the end of the Cold War. However, Putin’s attempts to position the invasion of Ukraine as a reasonable response to NATO encroachment have been comprehensively debunked by his own actions.
According to Reuters, Ukraine informed Russia during the first days of the invasion that it was ready to meet Moscow’s demands and rule out the possibility of future NATO membership, only for this offer to be rejected by Putin. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy went public in the following weeks with similar proposals to abandon Ukraine’s NATO ambitions, but Russia chose to continue its invasion.
The entire notion that Russia views NATO as a credible security threat was further undermined in summer 2022 when Moscow passively accepted neighboring Finland’s historic decision to join the military alliance. Putin has repeatedly cited Ukraine’s deepening NATO ties as justification for his invasion, but the prospect of imminent Finnish membership provoked no meaningful security response whatsoever from the Kremlin.
If Putin genuinely believed a NATO invasion of Russia was even a remote possibility, he would surely have reinforced the Finnish border. On the contrary, in the months following Helsinki’s decision to join the alliance, Russia dramatically reduced its military presence close to Finland and the nearby NATO member Baltic states in order to bolster the invasion of Ukraine. Whatever Putin may say in public, he clearly understands that NATO poses no threat to Russia.

@yellowtunes2756 Donbas was fake elections under a gun by Russia and Donbas belongs to Ukraine not Russia
USSR was not a bigger Russia it was a union of independent states !!
BEFORE YOU STARTS SAYING USA AND NATO ILLEGALLY INVADES OTHERS BLA BLA BLA !!
THAT IS WRONG BECOUSE SOME WARS ARE LEGAL SOME ARE NOT .!!
1. Iraqi invaded Kuwait (first Iraq war ) and US responded with a UN secretary council mandate !! Members of Congress of both political parties, and members of the United Nations Security Council, (that both Russia and China are members of and both have veto rights in the UN Security Council ) agree at the time that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must disarm.
2. Afghanistan was harboring al-Qaede, and was asked to give up Bin Landen the refused and became a party in the 9/11 attacks ... so USA was attacked and it responded with a UN mandate
3. Libya was NOT USA it was in fact a UN security counsel section mission by the UN.. They asked NATO to help ... The NATO-led operation was launched under the authority of two UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR), 1970 and 1973, both quoting Chapter VII of the UN Charter, and neither of which was opposed by Russia.
4. In 2003 invasion of Iraq (2nd Iraq war )!! Everyone believed Saddam when he said he had weapons and why not believe he had only some years before in the IRAN /IRAQ war used such weapons so there was not reason to not to believe him and he was offered several time to prove he did not have and let the UN weapons inspectors in to confirm or disconfirm if he had those weapons that everyone believed he had and he refused to let in the UN weapons inspectors (by the way how was french not American ) and the UN Security Council that Russia and CHINA are members of and has veto vote in (so they can use veto vote to block anything they want )did not have any problem in the United Nations Security Council and US demanding Saddam follow the restriction and demands that was imposed by the United Nations Security Council at they time !! Because everyone's own intelligence agency (not just the US ) even Russia and china was convinced Sadam did in-fact have WMDs
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 is a United Nations Security Council resolution adopted unanimously by the United Nations Security Council on 8 November 2002, offering Iraq under Saddam Hussein "a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations" that had been set out in several previous resolutions (Resolutions 660, 661, 678, 686, 687, 688, 707, 715, 986, and 1284).[1] It provided a justification for what was subsequently termed the US invasion of Iraq !!!
Resolution 1441 stated that Iraq was in material breach of the ceasefire terms presented under the terms of Resolution 687. Iraq's breaches related not only to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), but also the known construction of prohibited types of missiles, the purchase and import of prohibited armaments, and the continuing refusal of Iraq to compensate Kuwait for the widespread looting conducted by its troops during the 1990–1991 invasion and occupation. It also stated that "...false statements or omissions in the declarations submitted by Iraq pursuant to this resolution and failure by Iraq at any time to comply with, and cooperate fully in the implementation of, this resolution shall constitute a further material breach of Iraq's obligations."
IF RUSSIA DID NOT PLAY BALL ON THOSE WARS AND RUSSIA DID NOT WANT THE UN TO ASK US FOR HELP IN ENFORCING UN SANCTIONS !! WHY DID RUSSIA NOT USE ITS VETO RIGHT IN THE UN AND STOP ANY ACTION TO BE TAKEN ????

Bandera was not personally part of the genocide the evidence clearly shows that Bandera had nothing to do with it ... BANDERA WAS a prisoner (POW) of war when the massacre in Volhynia happened..so how is Bandera responsible ????
The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists under the leadership of Stepan Bandera decided to fight against the Hitler after they was arrested in 1941.
Now that is NOT much collaboration now is it.... AND THAT IS WHY Stepan Bandera was arrested by the GERMANS and sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp because Bandera was not collaborating with the nazis it is a
Myth and propaganda used by Moscow and some times the anti Ukraine elements inside Poland to direct Ukrainian independence..
The German high command in Ukraine sent a memo saying that all functionaries of the Bandera Movement must be arrested at once and, after thorough interrogation, are to be liquidated...".
On July 5, Bandera was arrested and transferred to Berlin.
On July 12, the president of the newly formed Ukrainian state, Yaroslav Stetsko, was also arrested and taken to Berlin. In January 1942,
Bandera was transferred to Sachsenhausen concentration camp's special barrack for high-profile political prisoners Zellenbau
Bandera was in a German KZ camp Sachsenhausen concentration camp from 1941-1944
NOW if you are sent to a KZ camp YOU ARE NOT a friend of Hitler are you AND IF YOU ARE inn a concentration camp from 1941 to the end of 1944 YOU can not be held responsible for the Volhynia massacre that happened in 1943 !!!!
AND LETS US ALSO NOT FORGET THAT MORE AND MORE new evidence is coming to light saying that it was NKVD dressed up as UPA /OUN that did the massacre in Volhynia in 1943.. But this is still not 100% proven yet,,,,

The Black Sea countries are many!! And Then Black Sea does not belong to Russia that’s a myth !!
Bulgaria, (NATO )
Romania (NATO)
Turkey (NATO)
Ukraine (NATO partner )
Georgia (NATO partner)
So in-fact ANY NATO country members navy and or air force is within their full right to sail and be within the Black Sea, as non of the Black Sea Nations (That have a real and legal int. recognized cost-line not like Russia ) have any problem with NATO ships being in their waters and even the non NATO members like Ukraine and Georgia, even more so then the NATO nations, want and are begging for more NATO ships to come and be in the BLACK SEA !
(NATO nations of the black sea are in-fact real black sea nations not like Russia stealing land then claiming to be the owner of that land and sea )
Coastline length to the black see by country/ Country Coastline length (km)
Turkey 1,329km (NATO)
Ukraine 2,782km (NATO partner )
Bulgaria 354km (NATO)
Georgia 310km (NATO partner )
Romania 225km (NATO)
AND ON A SIDE NOTE : NATO is already 500 km from Moscow via Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BS there is 800 km from Kyiv to Moscow ..
And her is a thought .. if every neighbor you have is running to begging NATO to let them join NATO is it becouse you are such a nice and good neighbor? Or is it because you act like a bully and are aggressive and invade your neighbor lands sending in troops and tanks Hungary 1956, Czechoslovakia 1968, Poland 1980 Moldova 1990-91, Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014 ++ and no all of Ukraine 2022+++ eat eat eat ... Maybe if you act in a more nicer way, then your neighbors will liked you more and maybe your neighbors in your neighborhood will want to be around you as well ..

The Kremlin has used this-Multiculturalism-feminism,-Marxism-as-lgbtq+++-a-destabilizing tool for years infiltrating educational institutions with leftist propaganda by promoting these Marxist ideas into the western intelligentsia thinking and in the community with the help of labor unions..
The point of this is not to make you believe in anything but to create enough doubt, distrust, and confusion within the populous of the western nations that the Kremlin is attacking that the people will start to distrust their own government and media, it is, in other words, the good old game of divide and conquer Kremlin style ..
The Kremlin has infected this into western society for generations and now we are seeing the effect of it !! The Russian call this form of attack for Active measures...
Multiculturalism, feminism, Marxism and leftist agenda that we now are seeing in the west shouldn't come as a surprise at all . YurI Besemenov clarified what is happening now in the west and did it as far back as in 1986, he even uses the term "social justice" to describe it.
There is a war going on to take down the traditional family unit and traditional western norms and society starting with the takedown of the union of man and a woman; But this is only a tool for those who are behind this attack on traditional western norms and the western world societies structor, nothing less or more than a means to an end, their end-goal is to bring down-western society and values and the way of western society life and the attackers are using mayhem and therefor create destruction and this gives them the opportunity to control the target nations society in a it later time for their own agenda ..
We can look upon and see the political corrections as a shimmer that is eating up the western worlds societies structor and traditional western values (like in the movie Annihilation) are like today's feminism SJW and political correctness that now is eating up society twisting the world we live into a metrosexual / transsexual shimmer world.. In this new shimmer world (that now is eating up the traditional world ) you can be or do anything as long as you are not a good old white heterosexual, meat-eating, Christian, sports and traditional values loving male..Nationalism" now means "white nationalism", "capitalist" now means "white supremacist", "diversity" now means "non-white", "racist" now means "white"; 2020 SJW rhetoric is 1984 Newspeak.

Multiculturalism, feminism, Marxism and leftist agenda that we now are seeing in the west shouldn't come as a surprise at all ..
Also now that they fare liberal left has gong totally bonkers and the West's educational institutions are all full of liberal professors (so job done ) the Kremlin is now shifting its focus so it can maximize the effect of their divide and conquer evil game of the Active measures strategies, by supporting right-wing element's all over the EU, UK , and the USA and every one from internet bloggers to political parties, Milos Zeman, Viktor Orbán and La Pen in France and other useful dimwits like Pablo Iglesias Turrión from Spain's Podemos political party and Matteo Renzi Prime Minister of Italy and others in high offices in all EU nations; All of them and their political party are receiving indirectly and directly financial and funding from the Kremlin and have close business deals with Russian state companies... and they are all well known to bang the kremlin drums in the EU JUST LIKE Pro-Kremlin Czech president Milos Zeman..
What those guys don't really understand is this all of this comes from the KGBs disinformation handbook from back in the day of the cold war and the Kremlin back then and today uses this conspiracy to discredit the US, and the west to the rest of the world and their own populous ...
Take a look here at the link (Russian: активные мероприятия / Aktivnyye Meropriyatiya) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_measures
Active measure is a Soviet term for the actions of political warfare conducted by the Soviet security services ( KGB )and now used by the Russian security services ( FSB) to influence the course of world events, in the Russian Kremlins favor, this includes but not limited to collecting intelligence and producing "politically correct" assessment of it,, and Active measures range "from media manipulations to special actions involving various degrees of violence".
They included disinformation, propaganda, counterfeiting official documents, assassinations, and political repression, such as penetration into churches, Active measures included the establishment and support of international front organizations (e.g. the World Peace Council); foreign communist, socialist and opposition parties; wars of national liberation in the Third World; and underground, revolutionary, insurgency, criminal, and terrorist groups subversion: active measures to weaken the West, to drive wedges in the Western community alliances of all sorts, particularly NATO, to sow discord among allies, to weaken the United States in the eyes of the people of Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin
America, and thus to prepare the ground in case the war really occurs..
And how do we know that this was and still is run by the Russian Kremlin ???
We know this because we know who Vasili Mitrokhin was .....
And who was he you ask ...
He was a KGB cold war agent that became a defector to the west that took with him KGB files regarding the Active measures programs see link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vasili_Mitrokhin
Some of the active measures by the USSR against the United States were exposed in the Mitrokhin Archive: Well known Kremlin Active measures conspiracy theories put into the western minds ...
Starting rumors that the Jewish "Control" of the Federal Reserve for a new word order and anti-Semitic propaganda has demonized the Jew as a conspiratorial, manipulative outsider, often with powers and designs of world domination helped along by the USA government and the American banks run and owned by the Rothschild jews.
Starting rumors that fluoridated drinking water was, in fact, a plot by the US government to effect population control.]
Starting rumors that the moon landings were hoaxes and the money ostensibly used by NASA was in actuality used by the CIA.
Starting rumors that the US, government at the top level let Pearl Harbor happen so the American industrial complex and Banks got the US public to join in and take part in ww2.
Use of sympathetic elements in the press to label the strategic defense initiative as an impractical "star wars" scheme.
Fabrication of the story that AIDS virus was manufactured by US scientists at Fort Detrick; the story was spread by Russian-born biologist Jakob Segal.
Discrediting of the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA), using historian Philip Agee (codenamed PONT).
Attempts to discredit Martin Luther King, Jr. by placing publications portraying him as an "Uncle Tom" who was secretly receiving government subsidies.
Stirring up racial tensions in the United States by mailing bogus letters from the Ku Klux Klan, placing an explosive package in "the Negro section of New York" (operation PANDORA), and spreading conspiracy theories that Martin Luther King, Jr.'s assassination had been planned by the US government.

NATO is a "threat" to Russia in the sense that a cop on the beat is a "threat" to a mugger. NATO wouldn't have been formed in the first place if Stalin had not rejected the US offer of the same Marshall Plan which so benefited the rest of Europe everywhere it was instituted, Stalin was instead bent every effort to CONQUER and dominate European neighboring states and expand Russia, borders with its concept of "sphere of influence " over the near abroad..
We need to understand that Russia didn't come to encompass 11% of earth's land area, by being invaded by other countries; Russia did so by invading far more other countries, than it was itself invaded by ; Remember Russia is a Federation of states , and the Russian part of that federation is the smallest state in the "Russian federation.".
(Russia with a total area of 17,098,242 Km² (6,601,665 mi²) and a land area of 16,376,870 Km² (6,323,142 mi²), equivalent to 11% of the total world's landmass )
In history MANY and ALL countries have been invaded frequently by their neighbors throughout all of history.
Was Russia invaded more than France? Germany? Poland in HISTORY ? NO IT WAS NOT !!!
So this acting the victim, when it comes to the west, that Kremlin does all the time, .. This buhhh the evil-west AGGRESSIVE west always invades us always is attacking us Buhhhh; This is why we see western NATO as a danger buhhhh !!!!
THIS TYPE OF ACTING THE VICTIM is absolute and nothing more and less than Kremlin BS is is done so you overlook the facts and to pull the smoke over your eyes !!! ..
Do i need to mention all of eastern Europe was under brutal Russian regime, hegemonic control for over 40 years .. ?? And that historical Russia has invaded and occupied way more of its neighbors then vice versa !
Russian controlled soviet union former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect ...couldn't wait to join NATO and the EU to get as far away from Russian hegemony control as fast as the possibly can at the time . During Soviet times those countries where Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO then they couldn't guarantee their independence from Russia. Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure their independence.
If the Russians weren't such malignant, belligerent a**holes, they wouldn't have to worry about EU, NATO and former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect running to and knocking on the front door of EU and NATO begging to be let in and begging to join .
Eastern Europe joins NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be independent. Nobody forced them.
Russia just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might get invaded and some or all parts of their country will have been taken under control by Russia like Georgia 2008 . Moldova 1994 and now Ukriane 2014 and all out invasion 2022
ON A SIDE NOTE; Some say ... NATO must understand Russia and stop looking upon Russia as a military problem and threat !!! I SAY ; Russia must get the missiles that are threatening the EU out of the Kaliningrad exclave first, then NATO will consider not lining the border with Russia with a wall of missiles - how's that for a starting point in 'negotiations'?
WHEN IT COMES TO UKRAINE !!!
Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been liberated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE talking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed

GIVING A SURRENDER IS NOT A PEACE DEAL ITS A SHAKE DOWN !!!! Anyone can make a peace deal when they surrender, which is what Trump is asking Ukraine to do.
Trump and his admin appear to be Putin's lifeline.
Its obvious what happened. A US president tried to shake down a foreign leader for mineral rights in Ukraine. The USA has abandoned its leadership role in the world and is now just for sale. The Republicans have lost their minds and perhaps their souls. Siding with Russia.
JD Vance talks about Zelensky being disrespectful and then points his finger and raises his voice TAKING talking down to Zelensky like he was som sort of child talking this way at a President of a sovereign state who is a visitor in the White House; coming to give 50% of his county natural resources and a deal that is more like a shake down than anything else after VANCE AND TRUNP has call him a dictator and never said any bad word other the praise for Putin .
I did not see Zelenskyy raising his voice. I did not see any arrogance. I saw him attempting to explain that a cease fire without guarantees would not work. He could not get a word in. The tirade of obscene fury from Trump and Vance left no room for a discussion of the issues. Trump, of course, continued lying.
Does the orange man and Vance talk to Mr Putin like that.. just 2 cowards the orange man and the VP.. that clearly are wanting to kiss up to Putin for sure they have some backhand deal going on with the Kremlin ; this was staged ; question sense when does the VP every come and seat down and talk in a press meeting when to head of states are meeting the press before a conference ?? This here was an coordinated attack to make out like Zelenskyy is an unreasonable person that wants war and that Putin and Trump are the peace loving parties
In order to make peace he has to give up his country's most resourceful land.
He's a proud Ukrainian, who is tired of his people being pushed around by the Russians. Now the U.S. is trying to get their hands on the minerals.
Haven't we learned anything from the last 75 years of war?
Granted, this needs to be over fast. How bout letting them keep their minerals and write a contract to where the U.S. would have a fixed price and first dibs on what [they] need.
Trump and associates were in Moscow Nov2013 when Russia forced Ukraine leader to go against parliament decision and people's desire to have agreement with EU. This caused riots and Russia snipers shot 100+ Ukrainian protestors. Russia invaded Crimea and land access for Crimea. Shot down Malaysian airliner over Ukraine! Now we know Trump is ani-EU and pro Putin...... surprised he doesn't have ussr flag on his clown hat.....
Lets see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
The pro PUTIN BOOT LICKERSthat are putins but boys Trump and JD saying Ukraine has to give up on wanting its land back give up on wanting the Black sea back give up on wanting the Azov sea back give up on wanting its cities back its people ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass Russia wants so give it up ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..
FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5:
1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression.
2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility.
3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

Mr. Yanukovych the ex President of Ukraine and Putins puppet was not forced out by a popular uprising or a coup d'etat in 2014. He abandoned his position as President and fled, first to Crimea and then to Russia and his master Putin with over 40 billion dollars of stolen Ukrainian state funds.
The Ukrainian Parliament followed the only legal process it had available and appointed a temporary President Yatsenyuk until the election was held later that year and Petro Poroshenko was elected. after that another election was held in accordance with the law and Zelenskiy won the election ..
So for more than 10 years since 2013 Ukraine has functioned as a democratic country under constant attack and still had in that time free elections according to the voting will of the ppl ... And Russia has remind all this time as a banana dictatorship tinpot kleptocratic oligarchy elite run control Putin sand box for over 23 years ..
There was no 'forcing out of Putin's boy Yanukovych !!! and there was no US, gov or the CIA or NATO or the EU picking the next President of Ukraine this is a myth ...
Let’s look at Ukraine’s disgraced former president, the legitimately elected Victor Yanukovych. After Victor Yanukovych he fled to Russia the idea that he remained the legitimate head of state, and therefore the manner in which he was replaced was automatically illegitimate, was commonplace. This line of thinking was heavily promulgated by his new host country for reasons that are self-evident. But was it right, or even logical, to claim this?
The legitimacy of the Yanukovych regime indeed began with a fair election, albeit an election in which the Ukrainian people had no good choices. But could that legitimacy go on unquestioned despite the blatant grand scale theft of state resources? No. Of course it could not.
Common hooligans and thugs were brought to Kyiv by the Yanukovych authorities (first recorded on Nov. 29, 2013 when the Maydan demonstrations was just a few days old) to terrorize the residents of the capital. This acts was completely in contradiction to Article 3 of the constitution that Yanukovych was elected to uphold. It was right to question Yanukovych’s legitimacy after this.
Can the legitimacy of a ruling authority survive past the blatantly illegal adoption of laws designed to end democracy and create a dictatorship? No. Of course it cannot. Yet, this is what the Yanukovych controlled Party of Regions attempted to do on Jan. 16, 2014. Later analysis of images taken in parliament that while 235 MPs were declared to have voted for these “dictatorship” laws, only about half of this number of MPs were actually in the session hall when the vote was taken (by a show of hands – also illegal.)
After such clearly anti-democratic and dishonest actions, can anyone consider that authority to be legitimate? The actions were a breach of Article 5 of Ukraine’s constitution - something that Yanukovych was under oath to protect and uphold. But he failed to keep his word.
There were more violations of the constitution by Yanukovych, its supposed protector.
Article 27 of Ukraine’s constitution says that “Every person shall have the inalienable right to life. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of life.” Yet Yuri Verbitsky, a 42 year old geologist from Lviv, was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by forces belonging to the Yanukovych regime between Jan. 22 and Jan. 25 of 2014.
That Yanukovych had already lost any legitimacy by this point should be beyond question. Later, of course, came the deaths of many more people on Jan. 18 and then Jan. 20, after which Yanukovych fled to Russia, insisting his authority and position were still legitimate. Define legitimate.
The idea that legitimacy carries on from appointment without further question is a complete fallacy. It is something that we should refuse to accept. An elected leader most certainly can lose their legitimacy through illegal and/or unconstitutional, actions. The most recent public attempt at increasing the fog blurring the distinction between legitimately elected and legitimate comes from Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Bottom line, they are not the same, although it is easy to see why Russia’s ruling clan would seek to pretend that they are.
LIKE I HAVE SAID ; The Former President, (Putin's boy) Mr . Viktor Yanukovych . After he fled to Putin with billions of stolen money the Kremlin-backed politician and his cronies (made away with $40 billion in state Ukrainian assets disappear ) the idea that he remained the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state, and therefore the manner in which he was replaced was automatically illegitimate is based on those facts that Mr. Yanukovych COMMITTED outright theft for state funds and ran off to Russia with it shows 3 things
1. It proves he was and is a russian puppet ( its funny when russia falsely cries foul and say zeleniski is a USA puppet)
2. He ran off by his own accord to his master in moscow abandoning his position and therefore also any legitimate claim to the office of being the president ----
3. So this facts is clear evidence there was no coup d'etat
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention. 2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
9. The 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE . The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.”
The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments. One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.”
One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally.
The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time. Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.

The 1994 context: a “cold war” for Crimea Crimea, populated by a mix of Ukrainians, Russians, and Crimean Tatars during the first half of the 20th century, was transferred BACK to Ukraine then former Ukrainian Soviet Socialist Republic in 1954.
(remember the Crimean peninsula and Ukraine was and Ukraine forcefully against its will annexed into the Russian Empire in 1783 ; So in reality Ukraine nor Crimea has ever been Russian just occupied from some time in its history by Russia )
According to official Soviet logic, this transferred BACK to Ukraine would optimize the economy and management of the peninsula because of geographical reason of closure administration as Kyiv was closer than Moscow was to Crimea . (But culturally, the Russian leadership of the USSR was trying to suppress any Ukrainian influence in Crimea).
This had been Russia’s goal since the Russian Empire annexed the peninsula in 1783. That policy continued until Ukraine’s independence in 1991.
No Ukrainian schools were in Crimea, and Russian was spoken in public institutions. Although this was a standard imperial Russian and Soviet policy, it was especially reinforced in Crimea. In the 1991 referendum after the fall of the Soviet Union , 54% of Crimean residents at the time, voted for Ukrainian independence and for Crimean peninsula to join the newly independent Ukraine .
This was far below the national average of 90%, but it still indicated a pro-Ukrainian majority on the peninsula. At the same time, the vote was influenced by the legacy of Russian colonialism: According to the 2001 census, nearly 58% of Crimean residents considered themselves Russian by ethnicity, while 24% considered themselves Ukrainian and 12% identified as Crimean Tatar. Many of the latter group, deported from Crimea by Stalin in 1944, returned to the peninsula after Ukrainian independence in 1991.
Results of the 1991 referendum on supporting Ukraine’s independence from Russia by ever region was overwhelming for all of Ukraine in all of the country without exception ; not just in western Ukriane but also in East and south and Crimea . (don't believe me google; " 1991 referendum result for Ukraine independence by region " ) the results was as high as 97 % and no lower than 54 % for independence with the different regions /" oblasts "
(Also google and see the ; Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders that included Crimea as being belonging to Ukraine , both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum)
A primary source of animosity between Ukraine and Russia after the collapse of the Soviet Union was the Black Sea Fleet. One of the most potent Soviet fleets, it was internationally staffed while under Russian control, contributing to the increased number of Russian settlers in Crimea. Based in the Ukrainian city of Sevastopol, the fleet had to become Ukrainian. According to the Parliament of Ukraine’s resolution, “On military formations in Ukraine,” adopted in 1991, all Soviet armed forces stationed in Ukraine formally became under parliamentary control. On 5 April 1992, then-President of Ukraine Leonid Kravchuk signed a decree putting those armed forces under the control of Ukraine’s Ministry of Defense. Subsequently, on 7 April 1992, the then President of the Russian Federation, Boris Yeltsin, issued a decree putting the Black Sea Fleet under the control of the Russian Federation. After these competing decrees, the two presidents met, agreeing to “continue negotiations.” The result: a lack of agreement and the continuation of what had become a “cold war.” between the two Russian propaganda of the two " brothers nations "

THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE . The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments. One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time. Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.

Claim: NATO provoked the "Maidan" protests in Ukraine
Fact: The demonstrations which began in Kiev in November 2013 were born out of Ukrainians' desire for a closer relationship with the European Union, and their frustration when former President Yanukovych halted progress toward that goal as a result of Russian pressure.
The protesters' demands included constitutional reform, a stronger role for the parliament, the formation of a government of national unity, an end to the pervasive and endemic corruption, early presidential elections and an end to violence. There was no mention of NATO.
Ukraine began discussing the idea of abandoning its non-bloc status in September 2014, six months after the illegal and illegitimate Russian "annexation" of Crimea and the start of Russia's aggressive actions in Eastern Ukraine. The final decision by Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada to abandon the non bloc status was taken in December 2014, over a year after the pro-EU demonstrations began.
Claim: The Ukrainian authorities are illegitimate
Fact: Ukraine's President Poroshenko was elected on 25 May 2014 with a clear majority in a vote which the OSCE characterized as showing the "clear resolve of the authorities to hold what was a genuine election largely in line with international commitments and with a respect for fundamental freedoms." The only areas where serious restrictions were reported were those controlled by separatists, who undertook "increasing attempts to derail the process."
The current parliament was elected on 26 October in a vote which the OSCE characterized as "an amply contested election that offered voters real choice, and a general respect for fundamental freedoms". It again pointed out that "Electoral authorities made resolute efforts to organize elections throughout the country, but they could not be held in parts of the regions (oblasts) of Donetsk and Luhansk or on the Crimean peninsula".
Finally, Russian officials continue to allege that the Ukrainian parliament and government are dominated by "neonazis" and "fascists." However, in the parliamentary elections, the parties whom Russia labelled as "fascists" fell far short of the threshold of 5% needed to enter parliament. Ukraine's electorate clearly voted for unity and moderation, not separatism or extremism, and the composition of the parliament reflects that.
In short, the President and parliament are legitimate, the actions of the separatists were not.

Let’s look at Ukraine’s disgraced former president, the legitimately elected Victor Yanukovych. After Victor Yanukovych he fled to Russia the idea that he remained the legitimate head of state, and therefore the manner in which he was replaced was automatically illegitimate, was commonplace. This line of thinking was heavily promulgated by his new host country for reasons that are self-evident. But was it right, or even logical, to claim this?
The legitimacy of the Yanukovych regime indeed began with a fair election, albeit an election in which the Ukrainian people had no good choices. But could that legitimacy go on unquestioned despite the blatant grand scale theft of state resources? No. Of course it could not.
Common hooligans and thugs were brought to Kyiv by the Yanukovych authorities (first recorded on Nov. 29, 2013 when the Maydan demonstrations was just a few days old) to terrorize the residents of the capital. This acts was completely in contradiction to Article 3 of the constitution that Yanukovych was elected to uphold. It was right to question Yanukovych’s legitimacy after this.
Can the legitimacy of a ruling authority survive past the blatantly illegal adoption of laws designed to end democracy and create a dictatorship? No. Of course it cannot. Yet, this is what the Yanukovych controlled Party of Regions attempted to do on Jan. 16, 2014. Later analysis of images taken in parliament that while 235 MPs were declared to have voted for these “dictatorship” laws, only about half of this number of MPs were actually in the session hall when the vote was taken (by a show of hands – also illegal.)
After such clearly anti-democratic and dishonest actions, can anyone consider that authority to be legitimate? The actions were a breach of Article 5 of Ukraine’s constitution - something that Yanukovych was under oath to protect and uphold. But he failed to keep his word.
There were more violations of the constitution by Yanukovych, its supposed protector.
Article 27 of Ukraine’s constitution says that “Every person shall have the inalienable right to life. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of life.” Yet Yuri Verbitsky, a 42 year old geologist from Lviv, was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by forces belonging to the Yanukovych regime between Jan. 22 and Jan. 25 of 2014.
That Yanukovych had already lost any legitimacy by this point should be beyond question. Later, of course, came the deaths of many more people on Jan. 18 and then Jan. 20, after which Yanukovych fled to Russia, insisting his authority and position were still legitimate. Define legitimate.
The idea that legitimacy carries on from appointment without further question is a complete fallacy. It is something that we should refuse to accept. An elected leader most certainly can lose their legitimacy through illegal and/or unconstitutional, actions. The most recent public attempt at increasing the fog blurring the distinction between legitimately elected and legitimate comes from Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Bottom line, they are not the same, although it is easy to see why Russia’s ruling clan would seek to pretend that they are.

@volodymyrv5897 Former President, (Putin's boy) Mr . Viktor Yanukovych . After he fled to Putin with billions of stolen money the Kremlin-backed politician and his cronies (made away with $40 billion in state Ukrainian assets disappear ) the idea that he remained the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state, and therefore the manner in which he was replaced was automatically illegitimate is based on those facts that Mr. Yanukovych COMMITTED outright theft for state funds and ran off to Russia with it shows 3 things
1. It proves he was and is a russian puppet ( its funny when russia falsely cries foul and say zeleniski is a USA puppet)
2. He ran off by his own accord to his master in moscow abandoning his position and therefore also any legitimate claim to the office of being the president ----
3. So this facts is clear evidence there was no coup d'etat

NATO, Nazis, Satanists: Putin is running out of excuses for his imperial war !!
Why did Vladimir Putin invade Ukraine? The answer to this question really depends on when you’re asking. In the months leading up to the invasion, the Russian dictator focused his ire on NATO and sought to blame rising tensions around Ukraine on the military alliance’s post-Cold War expansion. As his troops crossed the border on February 24, Putin changed tack and declared a crusade against “Ukrainian Nazis.” More recently, he has sought to portray Ukraine as a “terrorist state” while insisting that Russia is in fact fighting against “Satanism.”
None of these arguments stands up to serious scrutiny. Instead, the various different narratives coming out of the Kremlin reflect Moscow’s increasingly desperate efforts to justify what is in reality an old-fashioned colonial war of imperial conquest.
Putin has long sought to use NATO expansion as an excuse for his own aggressive foreign policies. This plays well with the Russian public and also resonates among segments of the international community who believe the United States has become too dominant since the end of the Cold War. However, Putin’s attempts to position the invasion of Ukraine as a reasonable response to NATO encroachment have been comprehensively debunked by his own actions.
According to Reuters, Ukraine informed Russia during the first days of the invasion that it was ready to meet Moscow’s demands and rule out the possibility of future NATO membership, only for this offer to be rejected by Putin. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy went public in the following weeks with similar proposals to abandon Ukraine’s NATO ambitions, but Russia chose to continue its invasion.
The entire notion that Russia views NATO as a credible security threat was further undermined in summer 2022 when Moscow passively accepted neighboring Finland’s historic decision to join the military alliance. Putin has repeatedly cited Ukraine’s deepening NATO ties as justification for his invasion, but the prospect of imminent Finnish membership provoked no meaningful security response whatsoever from the Kremlin.
If Putin genuinely believed a NATO invasion of Russia was even a remote possibility, he would surely have reinforced the Finnish border. On the contrary, in the months following Helsinki’s decision to join the alliance, Russia dramatically reduced its military presence close to Finland and the nearby NATO member Baltic states in order to bolster the invasion of Ukraine. Whatever Putin may say in public, he clearly understands that NATO poses no threat to Russia.

Russia’s Resource Grab in Ukraine
What is the real reason for the war in Ukraine?
IS THE REASON That Ukraine’s extraordinary riches in energy, minerals, and agriculture are a prize for the Kremlin.???
OR IS THE REASON The Russia’s motives for invading Ukraine vary from security fears to revisionist historical claims that a Ukrainian national identity does not exist. ??
We have all heard about the "reason " for Putins invasion of Ukraine ; In a TV address at the outset of Russia’s invasion, the country’s president Vladimir Putin said that the objective was to “demilitarize and de-nazify Ukraine”. But this has been dismissed as a baseless pre-text upon which Putin justified a land-grab against an independent state.
BUT LETS TAKE A CLOSER LOOK SHALE WE !
The systematic slaughter of thousands of people is madness. However, some observers argue that, while Putin’s means may bear the hallmarks of lunacy, his end is decidedly more rational. They speculate that the Russian leader ordered the invasion of Ukraine to strike a blow in the battle for control of the means of delivering the global energy transition.
The logic of the argument is this: prior to the Russian invasion, it had been estimated that Ukraine had around 500,000 tonnes of high-quality lithium – a key component of the batteries used in electric vehicles and energy storage systems – and consequently the country was set to become a “key player in the global transition to green technology”.
Lithium’s crucial role in our daily lives
It’s worth a brief note here highlighting exactly how important lithium is in our day-to-day lives. As the US mining company Piedmont Lithium succinctly sums it up on its website: “Lithium plays a critical role in much of what we do in our daily lives. In addition to EVs, lithium is an essential part of the technology that powers mobile phones, computers, power tools and battery storage of energy generated from wind and solar power.” Right now, you are reading this article on a device that is powered by a battery with lithium in it. Meanwhile, the energy transition will be largely driven by wind and solar projects that produce energy that is stored in lithium batteries. Research has shown that lithium-ion batteries account for 85 per cent of newly installed energy storage capacity. As the chart below shows, worldwide demand for lithium will soar from 685,000 metric tonnes in 2023 to 2.1 million tonnes by 2030.
Dig into the earth near the Ukrainian city of Dniprorudne, and you'll hit ore with an iron content of over 60%.
Before the war, about 4.5 million tons of this high-quality iron ore were mined each year — with the lion's share exported to Slovakia, the Czech Republic and Austria. Selling this strategically important resources earned Dniprorudne mines the equivalent of €200 million ($216 million) per year. One-third of the ore was made into steel at a plant to the west, in the city of Zaporizhzhia, and also exported.
But all that changed in the summer of 2022, when Russian troops occupied Dniprorudne. Ukraine's highly coveted and strategically important natural resources are now being sent to Russia. Ukrainian, Slovak and Czech investors in the mining business have had their property seized by Russia.
Metallurgy ore exports fell by nearly 60% in 2022 from 2021, dropping to a total value of less than $3 billion (€2.8 billion), according to industry analysts GMK Center, a Ukraine-based think tank. Part of this drop is attributed to Russia's occupation of Ukrainian mining regions. In 2022, the Canadian think tank SecDev estimated the total value of deposits in occupied Ukraine at over $12 trillion. In addition to iron ore, key resources such as coal, titanium and manganese are found in Ukraine. Gold, natural gas, oil, kaolinite, salt, gypsum, zirconium and uranium are also present.
BUT THE BIG PRIZ IS LITHIUM !!!
Coveted lithium reserves
Today, lithium is one of the world's most sought-after minerals, as it is needed for smartphone and car batteries, among other things. Ukraine is trying to to woo foreign investors with promises of the "largest lithium reserves in Europe"
Russia is eyeing the two mega Ukrainian lithium deposits out of the total of four to exist in the country. One of them, at Kruta Balka, lies in the Zaporizhzhia region, which has been under Russian occupation since spring 2022. The other, Shevchenko, is situated in the Donetsk region, only a few kilometers from the front line and the other two is also under Russian occupation
Russia also occupies also three of Ukraine's rare earth deposits, according Kashchuk. The resource expert added that zirconium, uranium, but especially graphite and titanium will grow in demand.
"Graphite is used in battery production and coveted," he told DW. Two of Ukraine's graphite deposits are under Russian control. Yet the remaining four remain under Ukraine's control, and at one, mining is already underway, he said.
Ukraine before that war had great potential for Ukraine to becom a major titanium supplier in the world . Already today, the country produces 7% of the world's titanium, placing it in the global top five;
And where dose all of those resources just happened to be located yes you got it in east and south of Ukraine !!

@jennatolls9846 Russia is a joke and will always be a joke, Russians have nothing at all to be proud of Stalins USSR and today's Putin's Russia was and are totalitarian states..
Putin is appealing to the most basic of instincts, fears and insecurities in Russians. Many Russians harbor insecurities related to loss of the evil empire that was the USSR, and with that Russians idea of being / having superpower status..
Lets be honest, the Soviet Union 1922–1991 only was in word history for 69 years not much of a superpower if you only can claim 69 years in history, before you was wiped out of existence ...69 years my grandmother Bessy is older than that LOL
Or what am i not right ?????
USSR can only claim 69 years it started in 1922 and was dissolved in 1991 ....
Russians USSR a super power don't make me laugh....it was nothing more and RuSSia today still is nothing more then a evil state run by evil little people that just has some nukes under their control.. and as the cowards they are wave around themself's this weapons and shout about them to make themselves look big..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union
Russians have nothing at all to be proud of Stalin the USSR and today's Putin's Russia are and was all totalitarian states..
RuSSia and the Soviet Union was NO better then Hitlers Germany, Pol Potts Cambodia, Idi Amins Uganda, Francos Spain, Mussolini’s Italia, Gaddafi's Libya, Kim Jong-un North Korea and/ or Putins good friend Bashar Al-Assads Syria

@jennatolls9846 THE MYTH OF RUSSIA IS A SUPERPOWER ON THE WORLD STAGE DEBUNKED !
For centuries, Russia has seen itself as one of the world's great powers.
This superpower Russia status idea myth, seen by most of the world is now become a declining idea and the world is now seeing that Russia is not and has never been any super power; More and more ppl. now understand that Russia has only been masquerading as a "SUPER POWER " the Kremlin has been presenting itself as one and hiding behind the Myth of super power status; And even for some time the kremlin themself (one can argue) started to believe in their own lies, their own myth making and their own propaganda !
BUT AFTER UKRIANE THIS MYTH IS BUSTED !!
Russia: has only $1.48 trillion annual GDP that makes Russia about the same size economically on the level of Spain if your economy is as small as Spain how can you think even for one min you are some sort of super power, that has some spacial right to be seen on the same level as UK, US , or even China ???
Let's look at some fact here: Russia is closer to Indonesia and Australia economically, than it is UK , Germany , France US or Japan .. !!
And when it comes to having nukes dose that make you a super power, well UK and France has nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) as well and so does North Korea and even israel is claimed to have nuclear weapons, is North Korea or UK and France Super powers becouse they have nuclear weapons ???
1. United States: $20.89 trillion
2. China: $14.72 trillion
3. Japan: $5.06 trillion
4. Germany: $3.85 trillion
5. United Kingdom: $2.67 trillion
6. India: $2.66 trillion
7. France: $2.63 trillion
8. Italy: $1.89 trillion
9. Canada: $1.64 trillion
10. South Korea: $1.63 trillion
11. Russia: $1.48 trillion
12. Brazil: $1.44 trillion
13. Australia: $1.32 trillion
14. Spain: $1.28 trillion

NATO is a "threat" to Russia in the sense that a cop on the beat is a "threat" to a mugger. NATO wouldn't have been formed in the first place if Stalin had not rejected the US offer of the same Marshall Plan which so benefited the rest of Europe everywhere it was instituted, Russia / Stalin was instead bent every effort to CONQUER and dominate European neighboring states and expand Russia, borders with its concept of "sphere of influence " over the near abroad..
We need to understand that Russia didn't come to encompass 11% of earth's land area, by being invaded by other countries; Russia did so by invading far more other countries, than it was itself invaded by ; Remember Russia is a Federation of states , and the Russian part of that federation is the smallest state in the "Russian federation.".
(Russia with a total area of 17,098,242 Km² (6,601,665 mi²) and a land area of 16,376,870 Km² (6,323,142 mi²), equivalent to 11% of the total world's landmass )
In history MANY and ALL countries have been invaded frequently by their neighbors throughout all of history. Was Russia invaded more than France? Germany? Poland in HISTORY ? NO IT WAS NOT !!!
So this acting the victim, (west always invades Russia act ) when it comes to the west, that Kremlin does all the time, .
This buhhh the evil-west AGGRESSIVE west always invades us always is attacking us Buhhhh; This is why we see western NATO as a danger buhhhh !!!! THIS TYPE OF ACTING THE VICTIM is absolute and nothing more and less than Kremlin BS it is done so you overlook the fact that it is Russia that invades other not vise versa and to pull the smoke over your eyes !!! ..
Do i need to mention all of eastern Europe was under brutal Russian regime, hegemonic control for over 50 years .. ?? And that historical Russia has invaded and occupied way more of its neighbors then vice versa !

putin shills like PJW are saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is almost 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed

RUSSIAN NAZI TRAINING CAMPS !!!
White supremacist militia camp in Russia trains Germans, Swedes
European white supremacists have been attending the Partizan military camp just outside St Petersburg for training in combat techniques. German neo-Nazis have been travelling to Russia for weapons and martial arts training from a white supremacist organization, German news magazine Focus has reported.
Members from two neo-Nazi groups – the National Democratic Party and the Third Path – have been making their way to the training camp, known as Partizan, just outside St. Petersburg for training in paramilitary techniques, including in the use of weapons and explosives, and in military close combat. According to Focus, a number of former trainees at the camp, including Swedes and Finns, went on to join pro-Russian militia groups fighting in Ukraine.
The camp is run by the Russian Imperial Movement (RIM), which in April was added to the US government's list of proscribed international terrorist groups for providing "paramilitary-style training to white supremacists and neo-Nazis in Europe,” according to Vice News.
The involvement of Germans and other Europeans in the Russia-based training camp was indicative that the white supremacist movement was cooperating internationally, intelligence experts have noted.
“It signals that RIM is a critical node in the transnational white supremacy extremist movement,” Mollie Saltskog, intelligence analyst at The Soufan Group told Vice. “RIM is going beyond networking and ideology, and is actually providing paramilitary training to individuals who adhere to this violent ideology."
A report by the Soufan Center found that, although no Americans have attended training camps run by RIM, the organization has forged ties with American white supremacists including Matthew Heimback, founder of the Traditionalist Worker Party and one of the organizers of the Unite the Right rally in Charlottesville, Virginia.
Heimbach welcomed a delegation from RIM to the United States in 2017 and received an invitation to train with them, Saltskog told Vice, although he has since insisted that he has modified his views.
"RIM has efficiently built an infrastructure that has allowed it to expand its network, train terrorist operatives, and entrench itself as a viable entity in Russian society, even as its primary objectives are, at times, at odds with the Kremlin’s priorities," the Soufan Center's report noted, going on to explain that the organization was an ultra-nationalist group aiming to restore imperial rule by the tsars to Russia. The group also insists on membership of the Russian Orthodox Church, and aims its vitriol primarily at Jews and Ukrainians.
The conflict between Russia and the Ukraine has become an important focal point for the white supremacist movement, thanks to the Russian government's willingness to turn a blind eye to activities such as those carried out by RIM, Kacper Rekawek, an affiliated researcher for the Counter Extremism Project, told Vice.
“I don’t think these [German] guys would be able to do this sort of thing anywhere in Europe,” he said.
RIM's notoriety has been boosted by the group's involvement in the conflict with Ukraine, Rekawek said, with the group acting as a "conveyor belt" for militants into the Ukraine conflict, making it an attractive prospect for foreign fighters who wanted to get involved.
“They have the street cred,” he said. “They’re saying, ‘We’ve got the experience, we’re the real deal.’”
Back in America, the primary concern is that extremists trained in the camp would strike on home soil, such as the series of attacks carried out in Gothenburg by Swedish white supremacists, Viktor Melin and Anton Thulin in 2016. Both had attended a RIM training camp just months before the attacks.
“The tacit knowledge transfer, for example when it comes to bomb-making… presents a great threat to the countries these individuals are from,” Saltskog said. “In my opinion, the threat is no different than if a German or Swede would travel to participate in an ISIS or al-Qaeda training camp.”

Bandera was not personally part of the genocide the evidence clearly shows that Bandera had nothing to do with it ... BANDERA WAS a prisoner (POW) of war when the massacre in Volhynia happened..so how is Bandera responsible ????
The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists under the leadership of Stepan Bandera decided to fight against the Hitler after they was arrested in 1941.
Now that is NOT much collaboration now is it.... AND THAT IS WHY Stepan Bandera was arrested by the GERMANS and sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp because Bandera was not collaborating with the nazis it is a
Myth and propaganda used by Moscow and some times the anti Ukraine elements inside Poland to direct Ukrainian independence..
The German high command in Ukraine sent a memo saying that all functionaries of the Bandera Movement must be arrested at once and, after thorough interrogation, are to be liquidated...".
On July 5, Bandera was arrested and transferred to Berlin.
On July 12, the president of the newly formed Ukrainian state, Yaroslav Stetsko, was also arrested and taken to Berlin. In January 1942,
Bandera was transferred to Sachsenhausen concentration camp's special barrack for high-profile political prisoners Zellenbau
Bandera was in a German KZ camp Sachsenhausen concentration camp from 1941-1944
NOW if you are sent to a KZ camp YOU ARE NOT a friend of Hitler are you AND IF YOU ARE inn a concentration camp from 1941 to the end of 1944 YOU can not be held responsible for the Volhynia massacre that happened in 1943 !!!!
AND LETS US ALSO NOT FORGET THAT MORE AND MORE new evidence is coming to light saying that it was NKVD dressed up as UPA /OUN that did the massacre in Volhynia in 1943.. But this is still not 100% proven yet,,,,

Back in the 80s, a man was lucky to find a woman who cooks like his mother. Now, he's lucky to find one who doesn't drink like his father.
- "The 1st marriage is for money. The 2nd is for love."
- Alcohol and women is the worst combination I have found.
- The government is weaponized against men, and women love it.
Women: I don't need a man, I am a fantastic catch I have a degree in social studies, I own my own business, My own house, my own car and a summer house by the sea (took it all in divorce court from my last husband of 22 years ) .
Men: Those aren't personality traits we look for in a partner .
Women: I don't care! Date me! Buy me things!
Hey? Where did all the good men go?
Here is 2 things feminists need to understand !!
1, NO man ever put his hand under a woman's dress looking for her degree.
2.Saying things like ; I'm an independent woman" . I work hard, I own my own business." I have a degree " Somebody needs to let the modern feminist know that these words are kryptonite to men.
Gentlemen are only obligated to help and assist LADIES , NOT independent feminist that say they don’t need a gentlemen/ man because men are toxic ..
“The feminist of today have grown accustomed to privilege and rights equal to a man, so now when a man says I will not help you because we are equal then this equality feels like oppression to the feminist and not like the “equality” they say they want !
Females today !!
1. The right to vote without military service. (the right to vote was before based on that you had to serve in the nations army that why men historically got the vote now exploited by females )
2. Sexual liberation with anticoncepcional pills. (made by males to help females and exploited by females ) Ginocentric Divorce courts breaking families for women happiness. (court legal system made by men exploited by females )
3. Social media putting hypergamy on steroids. (internet another thing made by males exploited by females )
Corld gets hard core fucked and not the good kind of fucked !! Gentlemen are only obligated to help and assist LADIES , NOT independent feminist that say they don’t need a gentlemen/ man because men are toxic ..
“The feminist of today have grown accustomed to privilege and rights equal to a man, so now when a man says I will not help you because we are equal then this equality feels like oppression to the feminist and not like the “equality” they say they want !

Russians always uses as an excuse: I'm not interested in politics to make out they have not supported the anything bad !!
Look at it this way ; Putin is himself a symptom of the Russian mentality; FACT ; it is Russia and Russians that made Putin NOT Putin that made Russia or Russians !!
Far from dragging his reluctant compatriots into war, Putin is himself a symptom of the Russian mentality (remember it is Russia and Russians that made Putin NOT Putin that made Russia or Russians ) the unapologetically imperialistic outlook that shapes modern Russia’s relationship with the outside world and fuels the country’s insatiable appetite for external aggression.
(Moldova, 1991
Georgia 2008
Ukraine (Crimea ) 2014 Ukraine (East Ukraine )
and now all of Ukraine 2022 ++++)
(And let's not forget historical Russian roles in 1994 Nagorno Karabakh. 1994
First Chechen War 1999 Second Chechen War 2000 Second Chechen War part 2, Kazakhstan 2022 just to mention some as there are many more )
An understanding of Russia’s imperial instincts is essential for anyone looking to make sense of the seemingly senseless war crimes currently taking place in Ukraine. After all, it was not Putin who committed rape, torture, and mass murder in towns and villages across Ukraine. Putin did not fly the jets or fire the artillery that reduced entire Ukrainian cities to rubble. Likewise, he did not personally produce the endless stream of Russian propaganda films, TV shows, fake news bulletins, and social media posts dehumanizing Ukrainians and demonizing the West. These crimes were only possible thanks to the millions of Russians who willingly participated in the process or offered their enthusiastic support over a period of many years.
While politicians and commentators in the West continue to promote the comforting notion that Russians are themselves victims of Putin’s regime, virtually all the available evidence points to strong Russian public support for the war in Ukraine.
A recent survey conducted by Russia’s only internationally respected independent pollster, the Levada Center, found that 89% of Russians back the invasion of Ukraine with just 6% somewhat disagreed and 5% strongly opposed . (NOW LET THAT SINK IN !! )
Positive Russian attitudes toward the war are rooted in longstanding perceptions of Ukraine as part of Russia’s imperial heartlands. Despite the passage of three decades since the collapse of the Soviet Union, many Russians have never fully come to terms with the idea of an independent Ukraine and continue to regard the country as an indivisible element of historic Russia that has been artificially separated from the motherland.
Putin did not invent such sentiments but he has proven highly skilled at exploiting them. In his many speeches and essays on the Ukraine issue, he has consistently appealed to Russia’s imperial aspirations while playing on widespread resentment at the country’s post-Soviet humiliations and loss of superpower status. When Putin laments the fall of the USSR as the “demise of historical Russia,” ordinary Russians understand that it is primarily Ukraine he has in mind.
UNDERSTAND-THAT Russians are and have always been psychoticnation spellbound and fascinated by the big great leader syndrome-complex it comes historically of their eurasian historical mentality and idea /ideology of what the Russians call the Ruski Mir (Russia world ) some call it the Russian soul and what they see as th "uniqueness" of the Russian national identity. ..
The Russians have now vote in Putin for-almost 20years now, they vote over and over for this sycophanticlunatic that is Putin; The Russians have no excuse they have voted him in for over 20 years now, they know how he is, why he does what he does, and what he will do; there should be no shock over what he does or does not do, the Russians know all about Putin, and they like what he does, and how he does it; And that is why they vote for him over and over and over again !!
Look at it from this way : The public had a changes back in 2008 in the election when Putin in accordance with the Russian constitution, was forbidden to run for the office of President because of the limitation of how many times a person can continually be President ; The Russian ppl. had an option of voting for the opposition cadet at the time Mr. Boris Nemstov (and not for Putins boy Demitry Medvedev,) and therefor also democracy rule of law and to become a normal country;
But did they vote for Boris?
NO no no no, they did not vote for Boris did they !!
NO they vote for Putin's puppet boy Mr. Demitry Medvedev, because that was the next best thing as voting for Putin himself !!!
And after one term in office they voted once more to reinstated Putin back as president in accordance with the constitution !! So the Russians have no excuse they are responsible for what Putin does in there name..

Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!!
There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since Word War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would. And its because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. -- Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

And Russia and Iran is behind all of this Russia is the one supporting Hamas, sending weapons and resources and have done for years Russia does this via Iran, using Iran as a puppet state a this way have possible deniability so Kremlin can send Hamas weapons and funding !!
And ppl. in the west that are pro Putin are infact all indirectly (but to stupid to understand ) supportive of all the western enemies enemies like Syria , Iran , North Korea, Hamas and even the Taliban by supporting Russia as Russia is backing them all up to the teeth !!
Ask yourself this question ; Who benefits from this destabilization right now who ???
You dont fine this strange that all this happened just right after Putin had all those massive meetings in the last months ; Putin in the last months has had personal meetings with all of the leaders of Iran , North Korea , China and even the Taliban and Hams in the last months !!! And now all we all of see that suddenly out of the blue, Hamas has all the resources it needs to go all out war with the strongest country in the middle east Hamas a little bankrupt terror org. can now go an all out attack full scale attack on Israel !!!
Ask yourself HOW IS THE POSSIBLE how did they almost over night get those resources and who benefits from all this uproar and destabilization in the middle east WHO ???
NOT ISREAL NOT IRAN NOT AFGHANISTAN NOT SYRIA NOT THE EU NOT USA NOT UK NOT CHINA NOT EVEN PALESTINE INFACT NO COUNTRY BENEFITS FROM THIS, WITH THE ONE EXCEPTION THERE IS ONE COUNTRY THAT DOES BENEFITS AND ITS RUSSIA; YES RUSSIA BENEFITS FROM THIS AND THEY REALLY BENEFIT FORM IT BIG TIME !!
RuZZia gets to have western media look another way form what RuZZia is doing inside Ukraine!!!!! Russia gets to defect the worlds attention way from the war crimes, genocide , the 10s of thousands of Ukrainian children Russian army has kidnapped in Ukriane !!!
Russia gets the world media to look another way when it comes to the fact the Putin is a wanted man that the ICC International criminal court in The Hague as issued an arrest warrant ,for war crimes and crimes against humanity including but not limited to genocide and for kidnapping of Ukrainian children and forcibly deporting them to Russia !!
Also Russia gets to make US , EU ect ect divert resources and weapons from UKRAINE to Israel; divert military intelligence resources , divert aid ect ect ect ect away from UKRAINE !!!
SO ALL YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS IS WHO BENEFITS AND HOW THEY BENEFIT !! AND YES RUSSIAN AND ONLY RUSSIA BENEFITS HERE BIG TIME !!

NATO is a "threat" to Russia in the sense that a cop on the beat is a "threat" to a mugger. NATO wouldn't have been formed in the first place if Stalin had not rejected the US offer of the same Marshall Plan which so benefited the rest of Europe everywhere it was instituted, Russia / Stalin was instead bent every effort to CONQUER and dominate European neighboring states and expand Russia, borders with its concept of "sphere of influence " over the near abroad..
We need to understand that Russia didn't come to encompass 11% of earth's land area, by being invaded by other countries; Russia did so by invading far more other countries, than it was itself invaded by ; Remember Russia is a Federation of states , and the Russian part of that federation is the smallest state in the "Russian federation.".
(Russia with a total area of 17,098,242 Km² (6,601,665 mi²) and a land area of 16,376,870 Km² (6,323,142 mi²), equivalent to 11% of the total world's landmass )
In history MANY and ALL countries have been invaded frequently by their neighbors throughout all of history. Was Russia invaded more than France? Germany? Poland in HISTORY ? NO IT WAS NOT !!!
So this acting the victim, (west always invades Russia act ) when it comes to the west, that Kremlin does all the time, .
This buhhh the evil-west AGGRESSIVE west always invades us always is attacking us Buhhhh; This is why we see western NATO as a danger buhhhh !!!! THIS TYPE OF ACTING THE VICTIM is absolute and nothing more and less than Kremlin BS it is done so you overlook the fact that it is Russia that invades other not vise versa and to pull the smoke over your eyes !!! ..
Do i need to mention all of eastern Europe was under brutal Russian regime, hegemonic control for over 50 years .. ?? And that historical Russia has invaded and occupied way more of its neighbors then vice versa !
Russia says NATO is using Ukraine as a nuke base and therefore letting Ukraine into NATO is to close to Russian borders!!
But if you take a closer look at the argument it turns out to be absolute BS argument (even before Finland and Sweden join NATO ) because NATO is and was already 150 km away to St Petersburg via Estonia and 500 km via Latvia to Moscow (there is about 800 km from Ukraine to the Russia's capital so how is NATO getting closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO !!) the concerns of the Russian Federation regarding the possible admission of the Ukraine to NATO is merely a cover for a fear of democracy developing on its frontiers and therefor a threat to Putin dictator like leadership the modern authoritarian obsession with civil society repression dates back to how all NON-rational agent/ or rational being like exs KGB Putin is and how this paranoid ppl like him think and acts in other words "You Can’t Assume a Nut Will Act Rationally," and a nut that is manic-paranoid and narcissistic like KGB Putin is a special kind of nut !! .
The argument of Moscow that Ukraine borders are dangerously close to Russia and its capital so Ukraine cannot join NATO It is absolutely irrelevant in this day and age!!!

Ukraine has no intrs, in becoming a hegemony Puppet on a string country of Moscow geopolitical needs in fact Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation and Ukraine is no exception to that rule .

Woman: "Don't Protect me I am an independent female and strong woman !”
Man: "Ok"
Woman getting harassed and NEED help *
Woman: "Why didn't you protect and help me?"
Everyone is a feminist and a leftist ideologist until the Titanic starts sinking and then at that moment; you will hear the same feminist and a leftists ideologist that women and children should get place in the lifeboat first. And you end up with a guitar and accordion on the deck playing music on your way soon to be fish food as they board the last lifeboat..
You will never see or hear a feminist and/or a leftists ideologist, say we need equally, inclusiveness and there is no such thing as the weaker sex or gender identity roles between a man and a woman , or hear a feminist say everyone is equal, when it comes to giving out the lifeboats seats when the ship is sinking in the dark night in the ice cold waters of the Atlantic ocean no no no then they are all for gender roles and your roll my friend is soon to be fish food ; will she gets the lifeboat on her way to find new understanding "equal man" to her queen boss babe feminist persona to pay her bills let her be "equal " (until of course the next Titanic starts sinking then she will demand the lifeboat is only for women ) ..
Why IS IT LIKE THIS you ask ..... Well because the feminists LIKE TO PLAY THE SNEAKY GAME , because they are sly, disingenuous, shifty and self-serving hypocrites, that will use and take anything, everything they can and twist any argument to promote and benefit what they will call "equality and diversity" , but really it is never about real equality and diversity at all ; its about and has always been about promoting (in any situation then can ) better advantages, benefits , resources and roles, potions for themselves at the expense of men ; In other words they in the most disingenuous way make sure to receive the benefits and privileges, of any life situation/ ´social, scholarly and /or professional situation, without been expected to be holden to ( by others ) to the responsibility and standards of those benefits and privileges they claim and demand and believe to be inherently deserving and entitled to receive for free just because they are a female !!

It is not Putin who made modern Russia or Russians, it is Russia and Russians who made Putin !!!.
After all the Russians do know the truth about Putin by now, they know who he is, what he does , what he will do, and what he has done, it should come as no surprise to any Russian, what they are voting for after soon 20 years with Putin in power THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT HIM !!
Even when Putin himself was NOT able to run for President back in 2008, and the Russians, had a chance to vote for another direction, what did they do?? They voted in Putin's boy Dmitry Medvedev for president, the Russians had the changes to vote for Boris Nemtsov and therefor freedom, rule of law and democracy but NO THEY VOTE for Putins boy Dmitry Medvedev for president, because that was the next best thing to voting for Putin !!!
So the Russians NO longer have an excuse, they are responsible for the actions that the evil regime they support and they have voted for time after time after time….

What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukriane anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass over 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and most of England
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the should Ukraine give up all that land for what to be invaded only some years later !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda and so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukriane Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries were nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..

The western feminist females have been supporting (for their own anti male agenda) for years this transgender and Lgbtq ++ movement!!! and females have been using the Lgbtq ++ movement as a sledgehammer to hammer down on masculinity and demonize the heterosexual males (and especially white heterosexual males) and they have been doing it for years pushing masculinity into the abyss!!!
But now those strong independent queens, those girl-bosses types of "I don't need a man" , Me woman strong hear my roar ! , Are getting all buhhhh cry baby about this situation, because their own Frankenstein monster is coming back full circle to eat its own promoters that are the female feminists , the Frankenstein monster are taking-over female sports outsmarting females in feminist sphere Their own Frankenstein creation they themselves promoted and helped bring forwarded has now turned on them.
But those strong independent females have for years been more than happy to using the transgender Lgbtq ++ Frankenstein monster, against heterosexual males to demonize heterosexual males; What western females have been calling toxic masculinity (basically means anything male and manly that they dont like ) ...
But now monster they was gladly unleashing unto others have come come full circle , the rooster have come home to roost , and it’s bitting them in their own backside!!! And now they are SOooo upset why NO one is helping them fight this transgender Lgbtq ++ Frankenstein monster the monster they themselves helped to unleash on men !! ... (where are all the white knights in shining armor to defend my innocent maiden honor thy cry ?)
Well you made your bed now you sleep in it honey , after all you are a strong independent women you don't need a man , and anything a man can do a woman can do as good or even better at-least that what you have been saying all this time ..
So now you have the chance to prove it!!
You go girl !!!

if their lips are moving they are lying.......Russia is a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma; but perhaps there is a key. That key is Russian national interest.” Now that makes sense..
The Russian Hypocrites will spend their lives cheating, betraying, conning, and deceiving. But despite this disgusting pattern of behavior, RuSSians still feel entitled to point out (or invent) the most minor mistakes in others—and they’ll point them out repeatedly, to negate & excuse all of their own horrible actions.
This should not surprise: Russia and Russians are immune to breaking whatever is needed to achieve their Machiavellian ends of global expansionism of the Russkiy Mir also know as the russian world . and that is the key it is the Russian national interest they all work for and they don not care how they forword that or not as the nation has NO morals they are totally morally corrupt ”
Aleksey L Nikolov (Managing Director of Russia Today), told in a interviewed once to western media when asked.. What does Russia Today stand for and what is the Russian point of view?...
He answered ...“Oh, there is always a Russian point of view,” then he answered. “Take a banana. For someone it’s food. For someone else it’s a weapon. For a racist it’s something to tease a black person with.”
And there you have it: Russia’s opportunistic foreign policy, all wrapped up in a banana metaphor.
Thus the Kremlin and Russians preaches non-intervention and sovereignty while defending Assad, yet uses the reverse position to justify the invasion of Georgia and annexation of Crimea. Thus it warns against American exceptionalism while claiming that Russia has a special mission to rule over and enlighten its “near abroad.” The Russian point of view is anything the Kremlin and the Russians wants it to be.
When it comes to Ukraine, disseminating “a Russian point of view” has increasingly meant helping Russian military and intelligence operations.
For example, after Moscow-supported rebels in East Ukraine shot down a Malaysian Airlines jet in 2014 the Boris and Olga's the average russians like to puck out a multitude of conspiracy theories (from claims that the real target of the attack was Putin’s personal plane to assertions that Ukrainian fighter jets were behind the tragedy), in order to direct attention away from the real perpetrators the Russians them selfs !!!
A sincere Western commitment to dialogue with Russia is just the west fooling itself, into thinking you can negotiate with a mad dog into not biting you, when you turn your back on it..
—and Putin is certainly a great help, when it comes to fooling the west to think Russia will play god doggy.
Russians do this cheating, betraying, conning, and deceiving thing thinking at the same time it is OK as they are acting as good patriots and forwarding Russia's intrest,
And with that logic they whitewash for themselves the moral aspect of the lei as it in there mind is they are just helping mother russia in Russian interests !!!
LIKE THE MAN TOLD US That key is Russian national interest.” Now that makes sense..

Bandera was no more nazi than Finland and the Finnish was nazi !!!
Bandera was fighting anyone that wanted to subdue Ukraine and it's ppl.
He was fighting the Polish before the soviets them the Nazis and then the soviets; in short everyone and/or anything that has tried to take away the freedom of Ukraine's and subdue their lands !!
In 1942 German intelligence concluded that Ukrainian nationalists were indifferent to the plight of the Jews and were willing to either kill them or help them, depending on what better served their cause. Several Jews took part in Bandera's underground movement, including one of Bandera's close associates Richard Yary who was also married to a Jewish woman. Another notable Jewish UPA member was Leyba-Itzik "Valeriy" Dombrovsky. According to a report to the Chief of the Security Police in Berlin dated 30 March 1942, "...it has been clearly established that the Bandera movement provided forged passports not only for its own members, but also for Jews.".
The false papers were most likely supplied to Jewish doctors or skilled workers who could be useful for the movement. When Bandera was in conflict with the Germans, the Ukrainian Insurgent Army under his authority sheltered many Jews and included Jewish fighters and medical personnel.
Eight days after Germany's invasion of the USSR, on 30 June 1941, the OUN-B proclaimed the establishment of Ukrainian State in Lviv, with Yaroslav Stetsko as premier.
In response to the declaration, OUN-B leaders and associates were arrested and imprisoned by the Gestapo (ca.1500 persons[31]). Many OUN-B members were killed outright or perished in jails and concentration camps (both of Bandera's brothers were eventually murdered at Auschwitz). On 18 September 1941 Bandera and Stetsko were sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp in "Zellenbau Bunker". Bandera was imprisoned along with some of the most important prisoners of the Third Reich, such as the ex-prime minister of France Léon Blum and ex-chancellor of Austria, Kurt Schuschnigg. The prisoners of Zellenbau received help from the Red Cross unlike common concentration camp prisoners and were able to send and receive parcels from their relatives.
Unwilling and unable to openly resist the Germans in early 1942, the OUN methodically set about creating a clandestine organization, engaging in propaganda work, and building weapons stockpiles. A major aspect of its program was the infiltration of the local police; the OUN-B was able to establish control over the police academy in Rivne. By doing so the OUN-B hoped to eventually overwhelm the German occupation authorities ("If there were fifty policemen to five Germans, who would hold power then?").
By late 1942, the status quo for the OUN-B was proving to be increasingly difficult. The German authorities were becoming increasingly repressive towards the Ukrainian population, and the Ukrainian police were reluctant to take part in such actions. Furthermore, Soviet partisan activity threatened to become the major outlet for anti-German resistance among western Ukrainians. By March 1943, the OUN-B leadership issued secret instructions ordering their members who had joined the German police in 1941–1942, numbering between 4,000 and 5,000 trained and armed soldiers, to desert with their weapons and to join the units of the OUN-B in Volyn.
Antisemitism was a common attribute of agrarian radical right-wing Eastern European organizations, such as the Croatian Ustashe, the Yugoslav Zbor and the Romanian Iron Guard.
The OUN's ideology, on the other hand, did not emphasize antisemitism and racism despite the presence of some antisemitic writing. Indeed, three of its leaders, General Mykola Kapustiansky, Rico Yary (himself of Hungarian-Jewish descent), and Mykola Stsyborsky (the OUN's chief theorist, were married to Jewish women and Jews belonged to the OUN's underground movement in many high ranking positions
The OUN in the early 1930s considered Ukraine's primary enemies to be Poles and Russians, with Jews playing a secondary role or not considered an enemy.
An article published in 1930 by OUN leader Mykola Stsyborsky denounced the anti-Jewish pogroms of 1918, stating that most of its victims were innocent rather than Bolsheviks.
Stsyborsky wrote that Jewish rights should be respected, that the OUN ought to convince Jews that their organization was no threat to them and that Ukrainians ought to maintain close contacts with Jews nationally and internationally. Three years later, an article in the OUN journal Rozbudova Natsii ("Development of the Nation"), despite its focus on Jews' alleged exploitation of Ukrainian peasants, also stated that Jews, as well as Ukrainians, were victims of Soviet policies.
In a recently published letter to the Israeli journalist, writer, and translator Shlomo Even-Shoshan dated 17 May 1965, Anatoly Kuznetsov commented on the Babi Yar atrocity:
In the two years that followed, Ukrainians, Russians, Gypsies and people of all nationalities were murdered in Babi Yar. The belief that Babi Yar is an exclusively Jewish grave is wrong... It is an international grave. Nobody will ever determine how many and what nationalities are buried there, because 90% of the corpses were burned, their ashes scattered in ravines and fields.
Victims of other massacres at the site included Soviet prisoners of war, communists, Roma people and Ukrainian Nationalists It is estimated that between 100,000 and 150,000 people were murdered at Babi Yar during the German occupation.
Babi Yar became presented as a place of execution of jew but the true is Babi Yar was used by the Nazi to execute anyone they wanted to kill by it Gypsy or the Patients of the Ivan Pavlov Psychiatric Hospital who were gassed and then dumped into the ravine; or the thousands of other ethnic Ukrainians that were murdered at Babi Yar and among those murdered were 621 members of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN)
Also the Ukrainian poet and activist Olena Teliha and her husband, and renowned bandurist Mykhailo Teliha, were murdered there on 21 February 1942. Also murdered in 1941 was Ukrainian activist writer Ivan Rohach, his sister, and his staff.
So NO it was not just jews that ended up in Babi Yar and the fact that 621 members of the Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists (OUN) show clearly that Russia claiming that the OUN was NAZI collaborators is absolute BS and that the OUN had nothing to do with the killing at Babi Yar that is a myth that the soviets pushed to discredit the OUN after ww2 was over in this way dirty their name, becouse the OUN had become an underground anti communist movement at the time fighting the Communist regime !!!

US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , because Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!
And here we can clearly see what such guarantees with the west is worth, it has been 8 years now since Russia invaded Ukraine in the east of the country and annexed parts of Ukraine in Crimea AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED so now Russia is going all inn and taking everything THE CAN!!
That is the result of worthless grantees !!
And here's something the WEST is clearly overlooking ; Taiwan , Israel and everyone else is also asking the question; CAN I TRUST THE WEST TO HOLD TO THEIR WORD AND STAND BY THE GUARANTEES THEY GIVE ! and not just Taiwan and Israel, is right now asking themselves those questions, but even small eastern European NATO member states that border Russia, will be asking themselves those questions as well !! IT'S ABOUT TRUST YOU LOSE TRUST YOU LOSE EVERYTHING!!
And her is the real kicker ; Also Iran, North Korea and China will be seeing what is going on and soon they will be thinking the west is weak; And the will be thinking and saying things like, just look what the west did when Russia was calling out their bluff about red lines in Ukraine ... The time is now, we have our chance to stick it to them !!!!
And then we will see China take Taiwan (so no more silicon-chips for you ) and then we will see Iran take Israel (middle east oil all gone and the middles east up in fire ) And when North Korea goes into South no more south Korea as north will take it over as well !!
SO YOUR OPTIONS ARE ,TO TAKE A STAND NOW OR LATER !!

THE MYTH … The USSR defeated-nazigermany without the help of allies. The Russian forces could have won the war without the help of other nationalities of the Soviet Union
THE TRUTH Soviet textbooks described the role of Soviet allies in the war in a rather superficial manner. While they are blamed for allowing the occupation of the Czech republic and waited till the last moment to open up the Second front, little is said about US help as part of the lend-lease program.
During the Cold War, this myth was particularly important, as it elevated the contribution of the Soviet Union and diminished the contributions of its allies who were now on the other side of the Iron Wall. Today, in line with the growing isolation of Russia from the West, this myth is once again accentuated, one recent example being the book of now-Minister of Culture of Russia Volodymyr Medynsky “War. Myths of the USSR. 1939-1945.”
In reality, the lend-lease was one of the decisive factors in the victory of the Allied forces against the Axis. The USSR, and Russia as its successor, still has not repaid its debt for the lend-lease to the USA.
According to different estimates, western equipment added up to:
* 12-16% of the equipment of the Soviet armored troops;
* 10-15% of USSR’s aviation
* 32.4% of its Navy.
Up to 70% of the transport of the Soviet army came from the USA, meaning that the Soviet army drove around mainly on US cars. While the USSR released only 600 trucks for mounting “Katyusha” mortars, the USA contributed 20,000 American Studebaker trucks, making it the main vehicle for Soviet artillery. Apart from that, the lend-lease program gave USSR 56% of its railroad tracks and 43% of tires; 42% of it sugar, 108% of meat preserves, 18% of aviation fuel.
The amount of locomotives that the West provided exceeded the USSR’s production by 2.4 times and the amount of train cars – by 10.2 times. The amount of food that the USSR received as part of the lend-lease would have been enough to feed a 10-million army over 1688 days, i.e. the whole course of the war.
THE MYTH…. For the USSR, World War II started on 22 June 1941. The proper name of the war is the “Great Patriotic War,” because the USSR was defending itself against the-nazzi-invasion
THE TRUTH .. In reality , the USSR started the war on 17 September 1939, when the Red Army crossed the border with Poland, occupying it in accordance to the union between the Third Reich and Soviet Union, outlined by the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. “German and Soviet troops walked hand in hand. This was called a ‘military brotherhood’ in the USSR, before the war broke out,” noted Oleksandr Zinchenko from the Institute of National Memory. After Hitler started the war in Europe, the USSR provided economic assistance to-nazigermany-The USSR attempted to conceal these facts of collaboration with Hitler with the concept of the “Great Patriotic War,” which started out as a mere ideological cliché pronounced by Joseph Stalin during a radio broadcast on 3 July 1941, after-nazigermany-invaded Soviet Ukraine.
Today, the concept of “Great Patriotic War” is being used by the Russian Federation as an alternative to World War II in attempts to maintain its influence on Ukraine and post-Soviet republics.
THE MYTH.. The USSR is an innocent victim of German aggression and was always an enemy of the-nazzis-and did not work with them
THE TRUTH..: The USSR signed a non-aggression pact with-nazigermany-the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, that not only defined broad economic cooperation with the Third Reich and agreement on mutual non-aggression, but also contained a secret protocol by which the USSR and Germany agreed to divide up Europe.
During Soviet times, and in Russia today, the existence of the-nazi–Soviet-pact was explained as a necessity that came only after fruitless negotiations with Britain and France, and that the invasions of Poland were unconnected to the pact. In fact, Stalin willingly ruined attempts to establish an anti-Hitler coalition. During 12-21 August 1939, negotiations with Britain and France about collaborating to meet growing security challenges associated with the Third Reich took place in Moscow, but did not amount to an agreement because the Soviet leadership demanded the right to occupy Poland’s regions Halychyna and Vilenska Oblast (today, western regions of Ukraine and Belarus), which the other side could not condone.
Both Stalin and Hitler were unsatisfied with the world order that came about after World War I, which made their collaboration natural. On 19 August 1939, Stalin spoke about the necessity to urge Europe into a great war, which would be an overture to a “world revolution;” on 23 August 1939, the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was signed, outlining broad economic cooperation between the USSR and the Third Reich, and violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a range of independent countries.
In addition to the stated clauses of the Molotov-Ribbentrop non-aggression pact, a secret protocol was adopted, dividing territories of Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Finland into German and Soviet “spheres of influence”, anticipating potential “territorial and political rearrangements” of these countries. The Kremlin denied the existence of the secret protocol to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact up to 1992.
The Soviet-nazi-military collaboration is undeniably clear in photographs from the German–Soviet military parade in Brest-Litovsk on 22 September 1939 during the invasion of Poland.
The pact had the most tragic consequences for European nations and the world; it is this agreement that became the mechanism opening the doors for a new world war. What followed was the invasion of Poland by-nazigermany-and the USSR, followed by the further carving up of Europe.

NOT THE SAME !!!!!
Russians in Transnistria and South Ossetia are an occupying force propping up illegal puppet governments that have no recognition internationally in the UN or any International forums or form any countries except Russia ,Belarus and maybe other nut job countries like North Korea in sort Russians is conducting Military occupation!!!!
Although Transnistria declared independence in 1990, NO United Nations member recognizes its sovereignty and the region is considered by the UN to be part of Moldova.
Currently, only Abkhazia, and South Ossetia recognise Transnistria independence, all themselves states with NO or limited recognition only by Russia, (for offices reasons of self interested ) Venezuela, , Nauru, and Syria how are dependent on Russia for different geo political reasons them as independent. .!!
WHEN IT COMES TO KOSAVOs KFOR they have a legal UN security mandate this gives them the legal right in accordance with International laws !!!
When it comes to Kosovo Force (KFOR), is provided by 28 countries with a UN mandate United Nations (UN), that gives the a legal right in accordance with International law that continue to work towards maintaining a safe and secure environment and freedom of movement for all citizens and communities in Kosovo regardless of ethnic background and social status .
(Kosovo, KFOR is cooperating and coordinating with the United Nations (UN), the European Union (EU) and other international actors to support the development of a stable, democratic, multi-ethnic and peaceful Kosovo. )
And KFOR strongly supports the Belgrade-Pristina EU-brokered Normalisation Agreement (2013) and stands to support its implementation.
Also KFOR derives its International legal mandate from (1999) UNs UNSCR 1244 mandate and form the Military-Technical Agreement between NATO, the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia and Serbia.

Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!!
There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since Word War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would. And it’s because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. -- Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

ON A SIDE NOTE : Missiles require a huge amount of upkeep and if the maintenance that we've seen on Russian captured tanks in Ukraine is anything to go by, or how there nuclear sublime fleet upkeep is I figure half of Russian Missiles would be defect or even blow up on in mid flight ; Any NBC specialist can tell you that they estimate that without extensive maintenance an ICBM has about a 5% per year cumulative failure rate. And mote of Russia ICBMs are form the late 80s early nineties so based on those facts like I say many as much as half of their weapons can end up and would failx.
ALSO ON A 2nd NOTE ; Putin cannot just wake up one day and press a button because he wants to when it comes to sending nukes around the world !!!
The president, and minister of defense and chief of the General Staff together prepare the authorization for use of nuclear weapons and they must all 3 be in 100% agreement before and launch can take place they can not be in the same room and have all of them fiscally use their personal one time login codes to activate the launch procedure it is a complicated process with lost of redundancy for safety so it is impossible for only one man to go crazy and launch a nuke attack !! So even if Putin went off his head he still cannot launch the nukes without consent from the others !!
The “direct command” (launch order) would be sent, via the Chegets, to the units by the General Staff, which holds the codes to access the machine that will produce the codes for launch and then the General Staff and the commanders have to send two different codes to all three branches as an extra layer of authentication.
Launch orders would be transmitted by second-level communication systems (distinct from Kazbek):
Signal for Strategic Rocket Forces, and KSBU (which stands for centralized command-and-control
system) for air and sea forces.
And then they orders and codes will be sent back to the General Staff , the defense minister and the President via the Chegets, and the orders and codes must be verified and confirmed up the chain of commend to give authorization only after a authentication process is/ has been confirmed ...
When that is done then the president and the defense minister have to send two separate codes, to be integrated by the chief of the General Staff, who added his or her own code. and send that though the system to give authorization and authentication process is confirmed .
PS. And lets not forget the the Submarine KURSK was part of Russia's nuclear weapons platform and it was falling apart to such an degree that its systems torpedo systems on the Sub. malfunctions and blow up under water and sank the sub and .. killed all of its crew ....
Now if that is what Russia's nuclear delivery platform and weapons platform is like all I can say is WTF !!! And let us not forget that Kursk was the pride and joy of Russia's navy... What does the rest of the Russian nuclear weapons program look like if Kursk is anything to go by ?
I mean...... If you can not hold your submarines floating in pace time what hope do you really have for holding your submarines floating in war time ?

There is no chance that Russia would ever stick to any agreement negotiated in the name of peace.
It ignored the Budapest Memorandum; the Helsinki Accords; the Minsk Agreement; the principles of the UN, its obligations under the UN Charter, its obligations as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, International Law, the Geneva Convention, the Nuremburg Principles, contract law, ....
Russia has broken the deployment agreement (Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty and the New START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty of 2010) that had with NATO and the USA when Russia deploys nuclear-capable missile system in Kaliningrad back in 2018 !!! LOOK UP Russia's deployment of nuclear-capable missiles to its Kaliningrad exclave is setting off warning bells in the Baltics and at Nato.
NATO is already 500 km from Moscow via Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BS ..
And her is a thought .. if every neighbor you have is running to and begging and wanting to join NATO is it becouse you are such a nice neighbor to be besides or is it because you act like a bully and are aggressive and invade your neighbor lands and are not the good neighbor you claim to be ... Maybe if you act in a more nicer way you be liked by your neighbors in your neighborhood and some of them maybe will want to be around you as well ..
The idea that Ukraine is the aggressor in this situation in Crimea and east Ukraine is absurd.
“It’s Russia that invaded Ukraine years ago. It’s Russia that is the military occupier of part of Ukraine, in Crimea. It’s Russia that, to this day, is fueling a war in eastern Ukraine. It’s Russia that has failed to implement any of its Minsk commitments… It’s Russia that’s taken aim repeatedly at Ukraine’s democracy. And it’s Russia that’s sending troops to Ukraine’s border, once again. All these actions are violations of Ukraine’s sovereignty and an immediate and urgent challenge to peace and stability in Europe,
And before someone comes with the Cuba nukes back in the 60s argument let me tell you this it was back in the cold war a drf. time all together and The main difference is that Castro invited Russia with their missiles to Cuba while Ukraine’s young democracy is trying to protect itself from Putin’s dictatorship!
Russia has broken the deployment agreement (Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty
and the New START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty of 2010) that had with NATO and the USA when Russia deploys nuclear-capable missile system in Kaliningrad back in 2018 !!! LOOK UP Russia's deployment of nuclear-capable missiles to its Kaliningrad exclave is setting off warning bells in the Baltics and at Nato.
Kaliningrad BORDERS Poland and Lithuania (both NATO ) so who put Nuks on the NATO/ Russian borders first Mr Putin ???

Russia and Russians is the worst thing that has happened to the world in all of human history !!
Russians always uses as an excuse: "I'm not interested in politics" they say this to make out and cover up that they personally have not supported the anything bad !! (taking accountability for their own choices is like kryptonite to superman to the average Russki !!)
Look at it this way ; I say Putin is himself is just a symptom of the Russian mentality; FACT ; it is Russia and Russians that made Putin NOT Putin that made Russia or Russians !!
Far from dragging his reluctant compatriots into war, Putin is himself a symptom of the Russian mentality (remember it is Russia and Russians that made Putin NOT Putin that made Russia or Russians ) the unapologetically imperialistic outlook that shapes modern Russia’s relationship with the outside world and fuels the country’s insatiable appetite for external aggression.
Moldova, 1991
Georgia 2008
Ukraine 2014 (Crimea and East Ukraine )
And now all of Ukraine 2022 ++++
(And let's not forget historical Russian roles in 1994 Nagorno Karabakh conflict . The First Chechen War 1999 The Second Chechen War 2000 and the Second Chechen War part 2, 2021 ;
Kazakhstan 2022 ;
Syria ,
South Sudan;
Libya
The Central African Republic ;
Madagascar ; Mozambique ;
Mali ;
Burkina Faso ;
Chad
Ghana ,
just to mention some as there are many more
An understanding of Russia’s imperial instincts is essential for anyone looking to make sense of the seemingly senseless war crimes currently taking place in Ukraine. After all, it was not Putin who committed rape, torture, and mass murder in towns and villages across Ukraine. Putin did not fly the jets or fire the artillery that reduced entire Ukrainian cities to rubble. Likewise, he did not personally produce the endless stream of Russian propaganda films, TV shows, fake news bulletins, and social media posts dehumanizing Ukrainians and demonizing the West. These crimes were only possible thanks to the millions of Russians who willingly participated in the process or offered their enthusiastic support over a period of many years.
While politicians and commentators in the West continue to promote the comforting notion that Russians are themselves victims of Putin’s regime, virtually all the available evidence points to strong Russian public support for the war in Ukraine.
A recent survey conducted by Russia’s only internationally respected independent pollster, the Levada Center, found that 89% of Russians back the invasion of Ukraine with just 6% somewhat disagreed and 5% strongly opposed . (NOW LET THAT SINK IN !! )
Positive Russian attitudes toward the war are rooted in longstanding perceptions of Ukraine as part of Russia’s imperial heartlands. Despite the passage of three decades since the collapse of the Soviet Union, many Russians have never fully come to terms with the idea of an independent Ukraine and continue to regard the country as an indivisible element of historic Russia that has been artificially separated from the motherland.
Putin did not invent such sentiments but he has proven highly skilled at exploiting them. In his many speeches and essays on the Ukraine issue, he has consistently appealed to Russia’s imperial aspirations while playing on widespread resentment at the country’s post-Soviet humiliations and loss of superpower status. When Putin laments the fall of the USSR as the “demise of historical Russia,” ordinary Russians understand that it is primarily Ukraine he has in mind.
UNDERSTAND-THAT Russians are and have always been psychoticnation spellbound and fascinated by the big great leader syndrome-complex it comes historically of their eurasian historical mentality and idea /ideology of what the Russians call the Ruski Mir (Russia world ) some call it the Russian soul and what they see as th "uniqueness" of the Russian national identity. ..
The Russians have now vote in Putin for-almost 20 years now, they vote over and over for this sycophanticlunatic that is Putin; The Russians have no excuse they have voted him in for over 20 years now, they know how he is, why he does what he does, and what he will do; there should be no shock over what he does or does not do, the Russians know all about Putin, and they like what he does, and how he does it; And that is why they vote for him over and over and over again !!
Look at it from this way : The public had a changes back in 2008 in the election when Putin in accordance with the Russian constitution, was forbidden to run for the office of President because of the limitation of how many times a person can continually be President ; The Russian ppl. had an option of voting for the opposition cadet at the time Mr. Boris Nemtsov (and not for Putin's boy Dmitry Medvedev,) and therefor also democracy rule of law and to become a normal country;
But did they vote for Boris?
NO no no no, they did not vote for Boris did they !!
NO they vote for Putin's puppet boy Mr. Demitry Medvedev, because that was the next best thing as voting for Putin himself !!!
And after one term in office they voted once more to reinstated Putin back as president in accordance with the constitution !! So the Russians have no excuse they are responsible for what Putin does in there name..

RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination like a type of 2nd class country; that is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country, that indirectly will serving the kremlins geopolitical agenda, and so Kremlin, the RuZZians and Putin can feel better about themselves ...
All the Eastern European countries has more or less joined NATO because they was scared of Russia and want make sure they will stay independent, (and the same goes for the EU financial independence ) Nobody forced Eastern European countries to join , NATO or the EU all of them came running and begging and knocking on the door of NATO and EU by themselves, asking and begging to be let into The EU and NATO !!
Russia invading Ukriane back 2014 and Georgia back in 2008 and now all out war with Ukraine from 2022++ just showed, why it was and still is a good idea for those Eastern European countries to join NATO, and the EU because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well .
During Soviet times those Eastern countries were nothing but quasi Russia puppet states and were totally exploited by Russia under under its heel and boot. If those eastern European countries didn't join NATO then they couldn't have guaranteed their own future continuous independence from Russia by themselves . Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure their independence !!!
The former satellite states like Poland,Romania,Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect was running to and knocking at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come inn and thats the truth !! . If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..

Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!! There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since World War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would.
And it’s because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. --
Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other cities to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from
USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

Lets take a look at Putin’s main fake statements .
Statement 1. The purpose of the special military operation in Ukraine is “the ban on all neo-Nazi movements.”
Putins Lies: "We have not yet achieved our goal in Ukraine because one of the goals is denazification. It means the prohibition of all neo-Nazi movements. It is necessary to get rid of those people who adhere to this theory and practice and try to preserve it; that is what denazification is. You know, as strange as it may seem to you, during the negotiations in Istanbul, we agreed that neo-Nazism would not be cultivated in Ukraine, including at the legislative level. This, it turns out, can be done during the negotiation process. And there is nothing humiliating for Ukraine as for a modern, civilized state. Is it possible for any state to promote the Nazis? No, right? Simple as that. "
The Truth: “Neo-Nazism in Ukraine” is a problem invented by Russian propaganda. Moscow’s habit of labelling all enemies as “fascists” and “Nazis” dates back to Soviet times. At different times, Poland, Israel, and even socialist Yugoslavia experienced this. By inventing “neo-Nazism” in Ukraine, Putin’s propaganda tries to present our country as a legitimate target for aggression, terror, and destruction (targets that hide behind the euphemism “denazification”). This was openly stated by propagandists such as Timofey Sergeitsev. Meanwhile, not Ukraine, but modern Russia turned into a Nazi state: with unlimited dictatorship, repression against dissenters, expansion into neighbouring countries, and declaring these countries “fictitious and fake.” It is Putin’s Russia that needs real denazification.

Georgy Zhukov after ww2 said : (Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov was a Soviet general and Marshal of the Soviet Union.)
"Now they say that the allies never helped us, but there is no denying that the Americans gave us so many goods without which we wouldn't have been able to form our reserves and continue the war," gene said Soviet rally Georgy Zhukov after the end of World War II.
Georgy Zhukov : “We didn’t have explosives, gunpowder. We had nothing to load our guns with. The Americans really saved us with gunpowder and explosives. And how many slabs of steel they gave us!
How could we make our own tanks. without American steel?
But now it seems we have plenty of it. Without American Studebaker trucks we’d will have had nothing to haul the artillery with”.
The Soviets were sent 44,600 tool machines as well as thousands of electric ovens that were used to equip the factories beyond the Urals, 7 million tons of iron were sent, over 6 million tons of steel, ques it was supplied with slabs, as Zhukov said, that were cut, drilled and welded to form the T-34 hulls, the processing waste was melted in electric ovens, poured into the molds to form the turrets.
Adequate amount of steel to make 35,000 T-34/76 and 22,000 T34/85.
Over 500,000 tons of aluminum were sent, more than enough to build all Soviet aircrafts, half from the U.S. and half from Canada, the bauxite was Australian.
Half of the used explosives and chemical products were sent to produce the other half of the explosives in Soviet factories.
Half of the leather boots used (15 million pairs) and leather to produce the other half of the boots.
All Red Army's wool coats came from the U.S. in addition to canned meat and flour (4,478,000 tons of food supplies). 2,670,000 tons of petroleum products including high octane airplane gasoline.
Over 400,000 full-wheel-drive vehicles that allowed the military to motorize, like the Germans even the Soviets only had models of American commercial trucks from the thirties unfit for off-road.
The T34/85 radios were made in the USA - and over 17,821 fighter jets, 3,000 carrier planes, 1,000 ASW seaplanes, 20,768 armored vehicles, 15,631 cannons, 131,633 machine guns.

Some important Voltaire Quotes we need to remember in out time ..
* Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. ...
* To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.
And what is the truth? let's look at some facts !
Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed
Mr, Martin Luther King once said :
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukriane anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass over 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and most of England
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the should Ukraine give up all that land for what to be invaded only some years later !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda and so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukriane Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries were nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..
Also these people who advocate this view that Ukraine shroud just give up land and appeasement to Russians wants wishes are also being very ignorant to the fact that there were already treaties in place between Russia and Ukraine where Russia respecting the integrity of Ukraine's borders plus other treaties relating to the seas around Ukraine.
Putin has already broken those treaties.
Why would Ukraine believe Putin would stick to a new treaty when he's just broken half a dozen of the previous Russia Ukraine treaties and agreements.
Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.
On a side note ; Moscow is ONLY 480 km to Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg and via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BS there is 800 km from Kyiv to Moscow ..
On another side note ; Election under a gun with tanks and thugs standing over the voting boxes is not an election it can not be a free and legal election...Referendums vía gun point isn't a referendum, it's racketeering. Something that Russia knows oh so very well how to do. YOU CAN VOTE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN It will never be legal as long as Russian army is there and as lone as it is an illegal gov. put there by an occupying force

GIVING A SURRENDER IS NOT A PEACE DEAL ITS A SHAKE DOWN !!!! Anyone can make a peace deal when they surrender, which is what Trump is asking Ukraine to do.
Trump and his admin appear to be Putin's lifeline.
Its obvious what happened. A US president tried to shake down a foreign leader for mineral rights in Ukraine. The USA has abandoned its leadership role in the world and is now just for sale. The Republicans have lost their minds and perhaps their souls. Siding with Russia.
JD Vance talks about Zelensky being disrespectful and then points his finger and raises his voice TAKING talking down to Zelensky like he was som sort of child talking this way at a President of a sovereign state who is a visitor in the White House; coming to give 50% of his county natural resources and a deal that is more like a shake down than anything else after VANCE AND TRUNP has call him a dictator and never said any bad word other the praise for Putin .
I did not see Zelenskyy raising his voice. I did not see any arrogance. I saw him attempting to explain that a cease fire without guarantees would not work. He could not get a word in. The tirade of obscene fury from Trump and Vance left no room for a discussion of the issues. Trump, of course, continued lying.
Does the orange man and Vance talk to Mr Putin like that.. just 2 cowards the orange man and the VP.. that clearly are wanting to kiss up to Putin for sure they have some backhand deal going on with the Kremlin ; this was staged ; question sense when does the VP every come and seat down and talk in a press meeting when to head of states are meeting the press before a conference ?? This here was an coordinated attack to make out like Zelenskyy is an unreasonable person that wants war and that Putin and Trump are the peace loving parties
In order to make peace he has to give up his country's most resourceful land.
He's a proud Ukrainian, who is tired of his people being pushed around by the Russians. Now the U.S. is trying to get their hands on the minerals.
I think when the USA have secret talks with Russia, then propose a deal that gives Russia land and The USA mineral wealth and potentially removes Zelenskyy i from office (allowing Russian puppet government or weak government) with no security guarantees offered other than Putin supposedly respecting Trump, especially when he knows that that Putin is a proven liar that breaks treaties at will, when his host in the oval office has called him a dictator and accused him of starting the war....... l think that that's gonna make Zelenskyy in a bad mood from the start.
This looks like Afghanistan again, America get involved, fund and encourage a side then leave them with their pants down.
Let's see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
The pro PUTIN BOOT LICKERSthat are putins but boys Trump and JD saying Ukraine has to give up on wanting its land back give up on wanting the Black sea back give up on wanting the Azov sea back give up on wanting its cities back its people ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass Russia wants so give it up ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..
FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5:
1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression.
2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility.
3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

What is Phobia ???
A Phobia is an irrational fear of something or someone will hurt you when you have no reason to believe so it is therefore irrational fear in other words a phobia of something ... !!
So I disagree !! As for the negativity western society may or not feel against Russia and Russians, one can argue it is a reasonable response to the actions Russia and Russians do !!!! And NOT a clinically case of a phobia !!!! For it to be a phobia one must show that the person has NO possible grounds whatsoever to have any fear of being hurt by the very thing that person has a phobia of (in this case Russia ) ONE CAN NOT disprove that anyone anywhere in the world is NOT valid in justifiably fear of Russia and Russians based on how Russia and Russians conduct themselves !!
Lets look at some facts !!!
Putin is almost on a daily bases on national TV shouting he has nukes and is willing to use them anywhere in the world and the Russian public love and clap and smile every time Putin threatens other nations it makes the Ivans and Natashas of this world feel BIG !!!
And Russia is building up a massive army inside Ukraine's, Georgia, Moldova, and on Europe's borders and annexing parts of Ukraine, Georgia and Moldovan lands and shouting about how he can take the Baltics and even Alaska whenever they want , Also lets not forget Putin and Russians boosting about new weapons and backing up evilregimes in South America,(Cuba, Venezuela ect ) Middle East (Syria Iran ect ) Africa, (Eritrea, Angola, Namibia, Mozambique, Zimbabwe and Ethiopia) and Asia (China , North Korea ect ect ) ect ect ect ...
So NO any fear anyone has or any disgust one has for Russia or Russians can NOT be put down and explained and as an irrational unjustifiable fear, in other words, a phobia / Russiaphobia !!

Russia is a joke and will always be a joke, Russians have nothing at all to be proud of Stalin's USSR and today's Putin's Russia was and are totalitarian states..
Putin is appealing to the most basic of instincts, fears and insecurities in Russians. Many Russians harbor insecurities related to loss of the evil empire that was the USSR, and with that Russians idea of being / having superpower status..
With Putin now Russians would like to reclaim this feeling and idea of the superpower status lol...being to look big is something dyp in the ethno psychological aspects of the RuSSian mentality that makes them feel drawn to the "strong leader "
Lets look at Russia today ..
Russia today is known mostly for being nothing more than a petrol-state run by an oligarch elite that answers to only one leadership, the strongman Mr Vladimir Vladimirovich Putin himself...
Russia is one step away from a banana-dictatorship and is in all but name a fascist state and to deflect from the world this simple facts, Putins Russia uses total strong hold and control over the media and information flow and control over Russia's gas energy sector, military, FSB and Police force.
When ever Putin feels that it is needed Putin's thugs the FSB boys take control of anything they want and they do this internally and externally, all this gets backed up with source of lies and propaganda to deflect the world from the real truth about what Russia really is, a mentally sick nation and society full of people controlled and living in a dream of a past that never really existed (or at least not in the way they wish it was )
Lets be honest, the Soviet Union 1922–1991 only was in word history for 69 years not much of a superpower if you only can claim 69 years in history, before you was wiped out of existence ...69 years my grandmother Bessy is older than that LOL
Or what am i not right ????? USSR can only claim 69 years it started in 1922 and was dissolved in 1991 ....
Russians USSR a superpower don't make me laugh....it was nothing more and RuSSia today still is nothing more then a evil state run by evil little people that just has some nukes under their control.. and as the cowards they are wave around themselves this weapons and shout about them to make themselves look big..
Russians have nothing at all to be proud of Stalin the USSR and today's Putin's Russia are and was all totalitarian states..
RuSSia and the Soviet Union was NO better than Hitler's Germany, Pol Potts Cambodia, Idi Amins Uganda, Francos Spain, Mussolini’s Italia, Gaddafi's Libya, Kim Jong-un North Korea and/ or Putin's good friend Bashar Al-Assads Syria
Ukrainians, on the other hand have made a new beginning. They are rejecting Russian-style autocracy, reforming the economy and moving against the pervasive corruption of the old regime.
Ukraine naturally and rightfully belongs in Europe. Putin has used every means possible, including military aggression and terrorism to damage and subordinate Ukraine.
He will not succeed. Ukraine's whole history revolves around the struggle for liberty and resistance to foreign oppression. Ukrainians are starkly different to Russians. They are not and have never been mentally slaves of Moscow lies, propaganda and control .
The face of true evil Putin's RuSSia and propaganda

Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination like a type of 2nd class country; that is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country, that indirectly will serving the kremlins geopolitical agenda, and so Kremlin, the RuZZians and Putin can feel better about themselves ...
All the Eastern European countries has more or less joined NATO because they was scared of Russia and want make sure they will stay independent, (and the same goes for the EU financial independence ) Nobody forced Eastern European countries to join , NATO or the EU all of them came running and begging and knocking on the door of NATO and EU by themselves, asking and begging to be let into The EU and NATO !!
Russia invading Ukriane back 2014 and Georgia back in 2008 and now all out war with Ukraine from 2022++ just showed, why it was and still is a good idea for those Eastern European countries to join NATO, and the EU because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well .
During Soviet times those Eastern countries where nothing but quasi Russia puppet states and where totally exploited by Russia under under its heel and boot. If those eastern European countries didn't join NATO then they couldn't have guaranteed their own future continuous independence from Russia by themselves . Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure their independence !!!
The former satellite states like Poland,Romania,Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect was running to and knocking at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come inn and thats the truth !! . If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..

Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!! There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since World War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would.
And it’s because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. --
Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other cities to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from
USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

Russian bot farms now routinely instruct their employees to drown Ukraine in reports about corruption. According to Ukraine’s Center for Strategic Communication and Information Security, before that, Russian President Vladimir Putin’s administration gave instructions to plant the narrative about Ukraine as “the most corrupt country in the world” in Western media.
This narrative embeds itself among foreign audiences that watch Russian RT news
Are the accusations of corruption against Ukraine fair?
Certainly, there is corruption in Ukraine, as well as problems of mismanagement at various levels.
But Reports about the exposure of corruption schemes is not proof of total corruption in Ukraine. On the contrary, they testify that Ukrainian society and the state are not tolerant of corruption.
Deregulation, de-oligarchization, the adoption of anti-corruption legislation, the formation of anti-corruption bodies, the liquidation of discredited institutions (such as the State Automobile Inspectorate or the State Architectural and Construction Inspectorate) are several examples of concrete steps aimed at reducing Ukraine’s level of corruption.
Ukraine’s anti-corruption measures span a number of activities as follows:
1. Specialized law enforcement agencies that investigate corruption offenses: The National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and the Specialized Anti-Corruption Prosecutor's Office (SAPO) were established in 2015. The High Anti-Corruption Court was established in 2019. The Prosecutor General's Office, the State Bureau of Investigation, the Security Service of Ukraine and the National Police are also involved in the fight against corruption. Their activities are actively covered in the media and are evidence that Ukraine does not tolerate corruption but fights against it.
2. System of mandatory electronic declaration of wealth, introduced for civil servants, MPs and local deputies, judges, law enforcers and other officials:
3. Information on budget expenditure that is open and available to everyone: Public procurement in Ukraine is carried out through the ProZorro electronic system.
4. Democratic statehood and political competition: This is also a safeguard against monopolization of power, which entails corruption and degradation of the state apparatus.
5. No caste of untouchables in Ukraine: MPs, mayors of large cities, heads of regional administrations, deputy ministers and judges are brought to criminal responsibility.
In May 2023, the Chairman of the Supreme Court was detained on suspicion of receiving a bribe.
6. Policy of de-oligarchization: In 2021, a law was passed to limit the influence of oligarchs on political parties, the government and the media in Ukraine.
7. Freedom of speech and free media work, even under martial law: Journalists can investigate the lifestyle of politicians and top officials and inform citizens about the discovered facts. Journalistic materials often become the basis for opening proceedings by law enforcement agencies and can lead to political consequences. In particular, several MPs have given up power based on such cases arising.
8. A powerful civil society: Anti-corruption public organizations monitor public procurement, analyze budget spending, report questionable expenditure and corruption risk.
9. Zero tolerance of corruption among Ukrainian citizens: The Orange Revolution of 2004-2005 and the Revolution of Dignity of 2013-2014 were, among other things, a protest against government corruption. This is a constant demand of society, which will not change in the years to come.
10. Widely implemented policy of deregulation, which reduces potential abuses by regulatory authorities: The Ukrainian parliament and the government are canceling outdated regulations, simplifying conditions for doing business and providing administrative services for citizens.
Furthermore, the Ministry of Digital Transformation plans to launch 63 digital products (14 innovative solutions are to be implemented just the last year).
The next step is an electronic court, digital registers and systems.
Ukriane foreign partners also see Ukraine's success. U.S. Acting Deputy Secretary of State, welcomed the adoption of the law on improving the activities of the Antimonopoly Committee of Ukraine. It is said ; despite the war, Ukraine has continued to fight against corruption and taken decisive action to strengthen accountability, transparency and corporate governance.
According to Transparency International, following the Revolution of Dignity, Ukraine demonstrated progress in the fight against corruption. For 10 years – from 2013 to 2022 – the country earned eight points in the Corruption Perceptions Index rating, showing its best result in 2022 – 33 points out of 100.
In accordance with the indicator, Ukraine is lagging behind Turkey, Serbia and Albania, which have 36 points each, but ahead of Russia (29 points).
The most corrupt states in the world are the Kremlin's friends: Syria (13), Venezuela (14), North Korea (17), Nicaragua (19), Sudan (22), and Eritrea (22).
Why does Russia use the "most corrupt country" narrative?
Speculating on the topic of corruption, exaggerating its scale and demonizing Ukrainian society, the Kremlin regime seeks to achieve the following goals:
1. To undermine the unity of partners providing Ukraine with military and macro-financial assistance
2. To convince the citizens of these countries that the aid provided will be stolen, Western weapons will end up on the "black market" and will fall into the hands of terrorists
3. To promote narratives about Ukrainians as ungrateful and villainous people
4. To convince Ukrainian citizens that “the real enemy is not in Moscow, but in Kyiv.” This is aimed at socio-political destabilization, undermining trust in the military-political leadership, generating hatred for civil servants, MPs, etc.
Despite the Russian invasion, Ukraine has demonstrated that overcoming corruption is a constant trend that persists even in the most difficult of times.
Russia's speculation about corruption in Ukraine is aimed at undermining trust in Ukraine on the part of foreign partners, weakening support, provoking artificial conflicts in Ukrainian society, reduce Ukraine’s ability to resist external aggression and defend its own state.

THE MYTH OF RUSSIA IS A SUPERPOWER ON THE WORLD STAGE DEBUNKED !
For centuries, Russia has seen itself as one of the world's great powers.
This superpower Russia status idea myth, seen by most of the world is now become a declining idea and the world is now seeing that Russia is not and has never been any super power; More and more ppl. now understand that Russia has only been masquerading as a "SUPER POWER " the Kremlin has been presenting itself as one and hiding behind the Myth of super power status; And even for some time the kremlin themself (one can argue) started to believe in their own lies, their own myth making and their own propaganda !
BUT AFTER UKRIANE THIS MYTH IS BUSTED !!
Russia: has only $1.48 trillion annual GDP that makes Russia about the same size economically on the level of Spain if your economy is as small as Spain how can you think even for one min you are some sort of super power, that has some spacial right to be seen on the same level as UK, US , or even China ???
Let's look at some fact here: Russia is closer to Indonesia and Australia economically, than it is UK , Germany , France US or Japan .. !!
And when it comes to having nukes dose that make you a super power, well UK and France has nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) as well and so does North Korea and even israel is claimed to have nuclear weapons, is North Korea or UK and France Super powers becouse they have nuclear weapons ???
1. United States: $20.89 trillion
2. China: $14.72 trillion
3. Japan: $5.06 trillion
4. Germany: $3.85 trillion
5. United Kingdom: $2.67 trillion
6. India: $2.66 trillion
7. France: $2.63 trillion
8. Italy: $1.89 trillion
9. Canada: $1.64 trillion
10. South Korea: $1.63 trillion
11. Russia: $1.48 trillion
12. Brazil: $1.44 trillion
13. Australia: $1.32 trillion
14. Spain: $1.28 trillion
15. Indonesia: $1.05 trillion

(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!
ON A SIDE NOTE : Missiles require a huge amount of upkeep and if the maintenance that we've seen on Russian captured tanks in Ukraine is anything to go by, or how there nuclear sublime fleet upkeep is I figure half of Russian Missiles would be defect or even blow up on in mid flight ; Any NBC specialist can tell you that they estimate that without extensive maintenance an ICBM has about a 5% per year cumulative failure rate. And mote of Russia ICBMs are form the late 80s early nineties so based on those facts like I say many as much as half of their weapons can end up and would failx.
ALSO ON A 2nd NOTE ; Putin can not just wake up one day and press a button because he wants to when it comes to sending nukes around the world !!!
The president, and minister of defense and chief of the General Staff together prepare the authorization for use of nuclear weapons and they must all 3 be in 100% agreement before and launch can take place they can not be in the same room and have all of them fiscally use their personal one time login codes to activate the launch procedure it is a complicated process with lost of redundancy for safety so it is impossible for only one man to go crazy and launch a nuke attack !! So even if Putin went off his head he still can not launch the nukes without consent form the others !!
The “direct command” (launch order) would be sent, via the Chegets, to the units by the General Staff, which holds the codes to access the machine that will produce the codes for launch and then the General Staff and the commanders have to send two different codes to all three branches as an extra layer of authentication.
Launch orders would be transmitted by second-level communication systems (distinct from Kazbek):
Signal for Strategic Rocket Forces, and KSBU (which stands for centralized command-and-control
system) for air and sea forces.
And then they orders and codes will be sent back to the General Staff , the defense minister and the President via the Chegets, and the orders and codes must be verified and confirmed up the chain of commend to give authorization only after a authentication process is/ has been confirmed ...
When that is done then the president and the defense minister have to send two separate codes, to be integrated by the chief of the General Staff, who added his or her own code. and send that though the system to give authorization and authentication process is confirmed .
PS. And lets not forget the the Submarine KURSK was part of Russia's nuclear weapons platform and it was falling apart to such an degree that its systems torpedo systems on the Sub. malfunctions and blow up under water and sank the sub and .. killed all of its crew ....
Now if that is what Russia's nuclear delivery platform and weapons platform is like all I can say is WTF !!! And let us not forget that Kursk was the pride and joy of Russia's navy... What does the rest of the Russian nuclear weapons program look like if Kursk is anything to go by ?
I mean...... If you can not hold your submarines floating in pace time what hope do you really have for holding your submarines floating in war time ?

We NEED to understand this :
RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA attacks its target by just being between the gray areas of what is the truth and lies that small crack between the two ; between the light and the dark; between the cracks of the open spaces: in other words they mislead by false appearances and illusions and those doubt and confusing is the order of the day !
And that's why it is so effective, as it is neither lies or truth, is not half truths or half lies; its all of the above and none of the above !!!
It is not made to make you believe in anything or disbelieve anything, it's made to make you doubt and distrust your own reality of what you have of experience about your own society what the world , society has objectivity shown you to be truth, you start to doubt your own society there is no objectivity grounded facts and truth ; everything is subjective and floating, nothing is clear-cut no universal truth.
Russian propaganda just sows enough doubt and confusion, that you just ignore your own thoughts of what you know is true and therefore rocks with your internal conviction and your physical sense of being ! It doesn't try to make you believe anything but to trust nothing and doubt everything around you .. !
In the shadow world of the Kremlin's FSB its called Active measures, and it's psychological subversion and confusion management at its highest level ; what some ppl. may call gaslighting but fare more sophisticated than so !
Its not intelligence collection the FSB and GRU is doing when they run such psychological propaganda operations, but subversion of the countries populace minds and their reality : "active measures " is made to weaken the targets moral , to drive wedges in the the targets community alliances of all sorts, sow discord among allies, to weaken the western systems in the eyes of its own populace.
What Russian propaganda tries to do is mentally turn YOU into one of those "prisoners in the cave" like in Plato's Allegory of the Cave from Plato's Republic (in the theory of forms ) , you see shadows and reflections of what they show you and a twisted from of reality is then reality a type of distorted the truth and facts ; the light and truth has become "shadows on a wall " where you are not sure anymore and started to think and doubt facts and truth believing that maybe up is down, white is black, left is right; truth is lies and fact is fiction !!
And those you will find yourself a solace in your own ignorances and doubt and in some cases you may even choose to be hostile to anyone that challenges whatever preconceptions and notions of doubt you have being gaslighted into thinking is the " truth ( "shadows on a wall " so to speak ) !!!
You have been victimized and programmed by Russian propaganda to believe or disbelieve whatever is the kremlin narrative, you have became a dubious fool that is " on the horns of a dilemma" and you end up in rejecting grounded norms and truth and just willing become accepting of what suites the kremlin narrative; you start repeating Kremlin talking points like a parrot and you are more or less incapable of critical independent sovereign thinking a cognitive dissonance prevails; you will struggle to gain the knowledge and enlightenment needed to analyze contradictory statements !
The target (civilized western world) " western societies populace and you are drained down into a muddy murky abyss of contradictory statements; in other words subversion of the target society (and YOU ) at this point is complete and your ability to illuminate your own thoughts and find truth is destroyed and the path for enlightenment critical thinking is therefore almost impossible..
THIS IS WHAT RUSSIANS FSB AND GRU CALL ACTIVE MEASURES !!
Like the Danish philosopher SØREN KIERKEGAARD once said ;
There are two ways to be fooled , one is to believe what ISN'T TRUE ; The other is to REFUSE to believe what is TRUE !!

When America was attacked on September the 11 2001 and The World Trade Center was crumbling ever European Country helped America ; when you went into IRAQ and Afghanistan every European Country was with you sending their boys to day side by side with US troops !!!

UKRAINE WAS ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES Ukraine was with the US. for 11 years side by side back to back with US forces !!!!
Ukraine allowed use of its airspace and airbases to the US and its allies, but only for cargo flights. Ukraine was a participant in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan and deployed troops as part of NATO's ISAF mission to the country. It contributed medical personnel supporting Provincial Reconstruction Teams, and provided instructors for NATO's Training Mission. After ISAF's mission ended in 2014, Ukraine supported the follow-on Resolute Support Mission (2015-2021) that trained, advised and assisted Afghan security forces
Korean War (1950 - 1953) ...

Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed

Republican lawmakers is threatening to shut down the US government if further Ukraine funding is included in a continuing resolution.
But this approach does not take into consideration the benefits to US strategic interests and the American economy. A large portion of the money if not nearly all of it is “designated for Ukraine” is being reinvested in American companies and other military industrial complex , bolstering the defense industry and sustaining American manufacturing jobs for American workers; in over 35 different states in the country all those states badly need those investments and jobs for their citizens.
Despite claims to the contrary !!!! The United States is NOT sending bags of unaccounted-for cash to Ukraine. Most US contributions go to military aid, including weapons and equipment made by American defense contractors who employ communities across the country. When the United States spends money to purchase military equipment as part of an international aid package, the materiel may go overseas, but the money and jobs stay in America.
Similarly, appropriations for the US Foreign Military Financing program provide incentives for NATO allies and partners to secure US-made capabilities. This translates to more business for US companies and sustained employment for rural communities in which they operate.
For instance, Lockheed Martin, maker of the HIMARS—which has been central to Ukraine’s counteroffensive—plans to increase its Camden, Arkansas facility’s workforce by 20%, and recently announced increased profit projections through the end of the year. Similarly, General Dynamics has committed to building new production facilities in Mesquite, Texas, bringing money and jobs to the region. Change like this takes place only when the Pentagon sends strong and stable market signals to the defense industry, giving it the confidence to expand and hire.
In short, the numbers suggest that continued support for Ukraine is a win-win for Ukrainians and the American people. The United States can continue to defend stability and democratic governance across the globe, while at the same time boosting American industrial output and advancing US economic interests.

NO SUCH THING AS A PALESTINIAN IT WAS MADE UP BY ARAFAT JUST LIKE THE FAKE HISTORY OF WHAT ARAFAT CALLED THE COUNTY OF PALESTINE !!
Arab Historian Admits there are No Palestinian People ..
When the Ottoman rule ended, there was no Palestinian national identity or political borders. It was all made up later. Arabs themselves say so, but the west isn’t listening..
One of the biggest, most stubborn and costliest untruths of our time is the notion that the jihad waged by Arabs in the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Gaza against Jews in Israel is a national struggle of an indigenous people for independence.
No matter the facts, the lie persists to the tune of billions of dollars in international aid and political prestige, which makes it increasingly difficult for anyone involved to admit that the whole thing is nothing more than a propaganda stunt.
Unlike the fairy tale of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’, everyone pretends to be blind and deaf when it is pointed out that the emperor is naked. In fact, if the emperor himself were to stand up and yell, ‘I am naked folks, go home!’ the crowd would go on complimenting his non-existent garments.
Last week the naked emperor did just that:
“Before the Balfour Promise, when the Ottoman rule [1517-1917] ended, Palestine’s political borders as we know them today did not exist, and there was nothing called a Palestinian people with a political identity as we know today”, historian Abd Al-Ghani admitted on official PA TV on November 1.
“Since Palestine’s lines of administrative division stretched from east to west and included Jordan and southern Lebanon, and like all peoples of the region [the Palestinians] were liberated from the Turkish rule and immediately moved to colonial rule, without forming a Palestinian people’s political identity.”
In 1917, says this Arab historian on official PA TV, there was no such thing as a Palestinian people. This statement amounts to saying that the whole narrative of an ‘indigenous Palestinian people’ was made up at a later point in time.
As Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad speaking on Al-Hekma TV said in March 2012: “Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians…”
There is a reason, why the “Palestinian National Museum” is empty of historical artifacts.
The Arab historian’s admission corroborates the observations of 19th-century travelers to the region, who notably had no specific political agenda when they visited, unlike so many visitors to Israel today:
”Outside the gates of Jerusalem, we saw indeed no living object, heard no living sound”, wrote French poet Alphonse de Lamartine about his visit in 1835.
”The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is that of a body of population.” wrote British Consul James Finn in his 1857 description of the Holy Land.
”Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that withered its fields and fettered its energies. …Palestine is desolate and unlovely….It is a hopeless dreary, heartbroken land.” wrote American author Mark Twain in his description of his visit in 1867.
Nevertheless, the Arab propaganda machine gets away with publishing fantastic falsehoods, such as this one on the Palestinian Authority’s tourism website: “With a history that envelops more than one million years, Palestine has played an important role in human civilization. The crucible of prehistoric cultures, it is where settled society, the alphabet, religion, and literature developed and would become a meeting place for diverse cultures and ideas that shaped the world we know today”.
The international community not only approves of these falsehoods, it happily pays for them.
Historian Abd Al-Ghani’s declaration on PA TV was a historic, highly newsworthy admission that ought to have made the headlines everywhere, considering the importance the issue is given by political leaders, diplomats, the media and other establishment figures all over the world.
After all, if the Arabs themselves admit that the ‘Palestinian people’ is an invented entity, should not the consequence be that the countless UN projects, billions of dollars in international aid, and the endless campaigns against Israel cease and be used for more noble purposes?
The answer is yes, but no one is paying attention.
We live in a post-factual world. Facts no longer have any currency, unlike feelings and ideological posturing. The truth has been reduced to a troublesome inconvenience and if it happens to stare you in the face, nothing could be easier than closing your eyes or simply looking away.

Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!!
There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since Word War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would. And it’s because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. -- Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!
ON A SIDE NOTE : Missiles require a huge amount of upkeep and if the maintenance that we've seen on Russian captured tanks in Ukraine is anything to go by, or how there nuclear sublime fleet upkeep is I figure half of Russian Missiles would be defect or even blow up on in mid flight ; Any NBC specialist can tell you that they estimate that without extensive maintenance an ICBM has about a 5% per year cumulative failure rate. And mote of Russia ICBMs are form the late 80s early nineties so based on those facts like I say many as much as half of their weapons can end up and would failx.
ALSO ON A 2nd NOTE ; Putin cannot just wake up one day and press a button because he wants to when it comes to sending nukes around the world !!!
The president, and minister of defense and chief of the General Staff together prepare the authorization for use of nuclear weapons and they must all 3 be in 100% agreement before and launch can take place they can not be in the same room and have all of them fiscally use their personal one time login codes to activate the launch procedure it is a complicated process with lost of redundancy for safety so it is impossible for only one man to go crazy and launch a nuke attack !! So even if Putin went off his head he still cannot launch the nukes without consent from the others !!
The “direct command” (launch order) would be sent, via the Chegets, to the units by the General Staff, which holds the codes to access the machine that will produce the codes for launch and then the General Staff and the commanders have to send two different codes to all three branches as an extra layer of authentication.
Launch orders would be transmitted by second-level communication systems (distinct from Kazbek):
Signal for Strategic Rocket Forces, and KSBU (which stands for centralized command-and-control
system) for air and sea forces.
And then they orders and codes will be sent back to the General Staff , the defense minister and the President via the Chegets, and the orders and codes must be verified and confirmed up the chain of commend to give authorization only after a authentication process is/ has been confirmed ...
When that is done then the president and the defense minister have to send two separate codes, to be integrated by the chief of the General Staff, who added his or her own code. and send that though the system to give authorization and authentication process is confirmed .
PS. And lets not forget the the Submarine KURSK was part of Russia's nuclear weapons platform and it was falling apart to such an degree that its systems torpedo systems on the Sub. malfunctions and blow up under water and sank the sub and .. killed all of its crew ....
Now if that is what Russia's nuclear delivery platform and weapons platform is like all I can say is WTF !!! And let us not forget that Kursk was the pride and joy of Russia's navy... What does the rest of the Russian nuclear weapons program look like if Kursk is anything to go by ?
I mean...... If you can not hold your submarines floating in pace time what hope do you really have for holding your submarines floating in war time ?

The western feminist females have been supporting (for their own anti male agenda) for years this transgender and Lgbtq ++ movement!!! and females have been using the Lgbtq ++ movement as a sledgehammer to hammer down on masculinity and demonize the heterosexual males (and especially white heterosexual males) and they have been doing it for years pushing masculinity into the abyss!!!
But now those strong independent queens, those girl-bosses types of "I don't need a man" , Me woman strong hear my roar ! , Are getting all buhhhh cry baby about this situation, because their own Frankenstein monster is coming back full circle to eat its own promoters that are the female feminists , the Frankenstein monster are taking-over female sports outsmarting females in feminist sphere Their own Frankenstein creation they themselves promoted and helped bring forwarded has now turned on them.
But those strong independent females have for years been more than happy to using the transgender Lgbtq ++ Frankenstein monster, against heterosexual males to demonize heterosexual males; What western females have been calling toxic masculinity (basically means anything male and manly that they dont like ) ...
But now monster they was gladly unleashing unto others have come come full circle , the rooster have come home to roost , and it’s bitting them in their own backside!!! And now they are SOooo upset why NO one is helping them fight this transgender Lgbtq ++ Frankenstein monster the monster they themselves helped to unleash on men !! ... (where are all the white knights in shining armor to defend my innocent maiden honor thy cry ?)
Well you made your bed now you sleep in it honey , after all you are a strong independent women you don't need a man , and anything a man can do a woman can do as good or even better at-least that what you have been saying all this time ..
So now you have the chance to prove it!!
You go girl !!!

Russia’s Life-Saver: Lend-Lease Aid to the U.S.S.R. in World War II clear case that the program was a major factor in the survival of the Soviet Union and the victory over Nazism.
A well kwoen Russian historian says ... The Importance of Lend-Lease cannot be overestimated with out the USA the USSR will never driven Hitler out of Russia..
The importance of economic cooperation with the U.S. and Canada cannot be overestimated. According to the dollar rate of 2003, the inflation-adjusted value of these supplies amounted to $130 billion.
These supplies were critical in some key areas.
For example, in the beginning of 1942, Western tanks fully replenished Soviet losses, and exceeded them by three times. About 15 percent of the aircraft used by Soviet air forces were supplied by Allies, including the Airacobra fighter and Boston bomber.
The Allies supplied 15,000 state-of-the-art machines at that time; for example, famous Soviet ace Alexander Pokryshkin flew Airacobra, as did the rest of his squadron. He shot down 59 enemy aircraft, and 48 of them were thanks to American military equipment.
With major agricultural regions of the Soviet Union under enemy occupation, and the unsatisfactory system of distribution and transportation, to say nothing of mismanagement, the Soviet state had more than a nodding acquaintance with famine. Without Western aid, during the war the Soviet population would have been in danger of sharing the fate of those trapped in Leningrad and the earlier victims of collectivization. Even with the American aid, many Russians died from lack of food. Equally important was Lend-Lease’s contribution to transportation. It would have been impossible for the Red Army to move the masses of troops and supplies on the primitive roads to the front lines without American Studebaker trucks, which also served as the launching pads for the dreaded Soviet rocket artillery.
Besides weaponry and food, Lend-Lease provided the Soviet Union with other resources, ranging from clothing to metals. With the start of the Cold War, Lend-Lease became a forgotten chapter in Soviet history and was only revived after glasnost. Now, thanks to Russian researchers and this excellent study, the West will have access to the real story. Lend-Lease provided vital help for the Soviet Union when the country was in desperate straits and made a significant contribution to the final victory. It also strengthened Josef Stalin, a fact that did not bother its chief architect, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who saw beyond the Allied victory and looked at Stalin as a counterbalance to the European colonial powers.
Massive American Aid Has Helped Russians Three Times in the Last Century..
Under the bland title of the Lend-Lease Act, American taxpayers sent to the Soviet people, from 1941o to 1945, $11.3 billion worth of war supplies. That is $146 billion in contemporary dollars.
This steel river of jeeps, trucks and bombers was neither a loan nor a lease. Franklin Roosevelt chose that title in the hopes of deluding American isolationists who opposed what they saw (correctly) as an outright gift to Moscow.
What did this money buy for the USSR?
3,770 bombers,
11,594 fighter planes,
5,980 anti-aircraft guns,
2,000 railroad locomotives,
51,000 jeeps,
361,000 trucks,
56,445 field telephones,
600,000 kilometers of telephone wire,
22 million artillery shells,
one billion rifle cartridges,
15 million pairs of army boots.
AND MUCH MORE!!
Shipped through the North Atlantic, driven up through Persia, or flown in from Alaska, this ready-made war material also freed up 600,000 Soviet factory workers to directly fight the Nazi invaders.

What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is almost 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukraine Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries were nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..
Also these people who advocate this view that Ukraine shroud just give up land and appeasement to Russians wants wishes are also being very ignorant to the fact that there were already treaties in place between Russia and Ukraine where Russia respecting the integrity of Ukraine's borders plus other treaties relating to the seas around Ukraine.
Putin has already broken those treaties.
Why would Ukraine believe Putin would stick to a new treaty when he's just broken half a dozen of the previous Russia Ukraine treaties and agreements.
Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.

US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , becouse Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!

Lets see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
The pro PUTIN BOOT LICKERSthat are putins but boys Trump and JD saying Ukraine has to give up on wanting its land back give up on wanting the Black sea back give up on wanting the Azov sea back give up on wanting its cities back its people ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass Russia wants so give it up ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..
FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5:
1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression.
2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility.
3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

RUSSIA HAS ALREADY LOST !!
Russia has lost over 580000 troops and over half of its military hardware / equipment and have only 17% of Ukraine land mass so based on those fig Russia simply does not have enough troops and military hardware to take over Ukraine and it will cost even more to hold it !!
Between Assad losing Syria, NATO adding Finland and Sweden, Russia losing tens of thousands of soldiers to a war it wasn't prepared for and thousands of prime skilled workers to emigration, and Russian money is being poured into a fruitless slaughterfest of dead Russians; ending up as fertulrzer on the battlefield and feeding the crows and ravens in east Ukraine ...I don't know how anyone can say Russia is truly "winning" right now even if they do get some more land in Ukraine..
Yes Between Assad losing Syria, NATO adding Finland and Sweden, Russia losing tens of thousands of soldiers to a war it wasn't prepared for and thousands of prime skilled workers to emigration, and Russian money is being poured into a fruitless slaughterfest of dead Russians; ending up as fertulrzer on the battlefield and feeding the crows and ravens in east Ukraine ...I don't know how anyone can say Russia is truly "winning" right now even if they do get some more land in Ukraine..
Yes Russia is taking potato fields and a tiny worthless village in east Ukraine, yes if you can see this fruitless slaughterfest that is costing the lives of 1500++ Russian soldiers bleeding out and dying every a day as wining the war then yes you maybe right you got some potato fields and a tiny worthless village BRAVO !! (and then claiming some sort of victory is correct )
However in the meantime , Ukraine is targeting deep into Russian proper ; Ukraine is hitting every day Russian vital economic centers of the Russian economy ; Ukraine is flying its drones with impunity hitting Russias oil refinery, Russias gas and petroleum installations, Russia railways infrastructure, Russias military industrial complex, and Ukraine has been extremely effective with this type of attacks ; and Russias "air defense" attempts to stop Ukraine in attacking their infrastructure that is vital for the functioning of Russia society and its economy has proven impossible for Moscow ...
(ON A SIDE NOTE : A FACT THAT GETS OVERLOOKED IS : Ukraine army and defense is much stronger better equipment and bigger (more trained active soldiers ) now (it has become bigger not smaller over time) its better organized and has more experience more weapons more diverse weaponry more high tech weaponry now than it was back in 2013 and even back in 2022 why stronger not weaker !!
Unlike Russia it has become less equipped and has lower quality human resource
Maybe you can explain to me how a country that can not take east Ukraine for 2 years and lost its black sea navy to a country without a navy ; a country that needs to beg and kissassssss to North Korea for weapons to survive a country that can even defend its own territories in Kursk Oblast a county that is pushing in untrained men into combat because it has no more well trained soldiers left a county that is using Chinese electric golf-carts and Chinese mopeds to attack with because they so low on proper military equipment ! a country that now is so low on combat soldiers that its striping its Murmansk navy personal and forcing sailors to take up infantry fighting roles in a land army .. A country that os low of spare parts for its air force a country that has en economy that is so bad no international banks not even Chinese banks wants to touch them !!!
NOTE : Also Putin is scraping the bottom of the bucket recruiting from African countries and china and North Korea ; Putin is begging North Korea for help and Venezuela for help ALSO LETS NOT FORGET Ukraine has pushed the Russian Army all the why over the river in the south and even made a foothold on the east side of the river !! Ukraine has liberated more territory since the full scale invasion over 2 years ago than Russia has taken (is the outskirts of KYIV under Russian control like it was 2 years ago ?)
Putin is losing 1500++ soldiers a DAY if you haven't even taken all cities and villages in the Donbas how can you claim to be a victor hahaahaha
HOW IS THAT COUNTRY (RUSSIA ) GOING TO WIN !!
Maybe if some pro Russian can explain it, I can understand how.
I SAY Russia has humiliated themselves right from the start of this stupidity all the way back in 2014 and Kremlin and Putin has continuously humiliated himself and Russia ever since.
The fact the Kremlin remain in this war, even when they know they cant win, and are willing to destroy themselves just proves how totally clueless they are....adding to their humiliation so Russia is already humiliated and broken .
FACT Russia is already in a worse place than they were before invading their small neighbor, and Russia did this to themselves, the result of their stupidity is that now they have more NATO borders after Finland and Sweden moved towards joining NATO , Putin and Russia is now laughingstock of a military world , and most of their biggest customers of oil and gas are canceling their orders.
I will be amazed if Russia hasn't broken up into smaller states within the next decade or so, this is real end of nations stuff that Putins ego and vanity so-stupidly has thrown Russia into; time will show this as complete idiocy from Putin.
I serious cannot envision Russia humiliating itself any more than it has already done , but that said , Putins ego is a massive chunk of half-witted, simple, ill-considered , unwise shortsighted buffoonery and NOT the wise geo-political chess player some include Putins own ego likes to say and Putin likes to think he is ..
I mean look at Putins strategies so far: recruiting two new Nato members, selling oil at a discount to 3 world countries and giving free tanks and equipment to Ukrainian army because of those tanks running out of fuel and ammunition. YES THE Master strategist Putin. Who’s lost much more than 30% of his armor, who sacrificed innumerable Russian lives in a failed attempt to take Kyiv and Snake Island, who pushed Finland and Sweden into joining NATO, who sunk the flagship of his Navy… yesssss all going according to plan.HAHA !!

The Brics collapse, the south staggers: and the almighty dollar is back !!!!
Brazil, RuSSia , India , China and South Africa = BRICS and they are all going into economic meltdown !!!
1. TAKE A LOOK AT BRAZIL Brazil markets sink as S&P downgrades rating to junk
Downgrade reflects country’s struggle to regain investor confidence as political turmoil drives growing government deficit.. Brazil's economy stalled last year; Lula blames high borrowing costs
Brazil's economy shrank in the fourth quarter, official data showed on Thursday, adding to an overall slowdown last year as President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva again blasted the central bank for high interest rates impeding a swifter recovery.
The economy contracted 0.2% in the October-to-December period, compared with the previous quarter, according to official statistics agency IBGE.
The decline in gross domestic product, which casts a shadow over the 2023 outlook for Latin America's biggest country, largely matched the drop forecast in a Reuters poll of economists.

2 TAKE A LOOK AT RUSSIA Foreign Investors Flee Russia, Pullout of $8 Bln Russia’s Economic Meltdown is here The country’s biggest exports, gas and oil, have lost major customers. Government finances are strained. The ruble is down over 20% since November against the dollar. The labor force has shrunk as young people are sent to the front or flee the country over fears of being drafted. Uncertainty has curbed business investment. Russian Ruble’s Slide Spurs a Sudden Central Bank Meeting The currency weakened as far as 102 to the dollar, adding to concerns of inflation and prompting the Russian Central Bank to move quickly to consider raising rates.

Iraqi invaded Kuwait (first Iraq war ) and US responded with a UN secretary council mandate !! Members of Congress of both political parties, and members of the United Nations Security Council, (that both Russia and China are members of and both have veto rights in the UN Security Council ) agree at the time that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must disarm.
2. Afghanistan was harboring al-Qaede, and was asked to give up Bin Landen the refused and became a party in the 9/11 attacks ... so USA was attacked and it responded with a UN mandate
3. Libya was NOT USA it was in fact a UN security counsel section mission by the UN.. They asked NATO to help ... The NATO-led operation was launched under the authority of two UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR), 1970 and 1973, both quoting Chapter VII of the UN Charter, and neither of which was opposed by Russia.
4. In 2003 invasion of Iraq (2nd Iraq war )!! Everyone believed Saddam when he said he had weapons and why not believe he had only some years before in the IRAN /IRAQ war used such weapons so there was not reason to not to believe him and he was offered several time to prove he did not have and let the UN weapons inspectors in to confirm or disconfirm if he had those weapons that everyone believed he had and he refused to let in the UN weapons inspectors (by the way how was french not American ) and the UN Security Council that Russia and CHINA are members of and has veto vote in (so they can use veto vote to block anything they want )did not have any problem in the United Nations Security Council and US demanding Saddam follow the restriction and demands that was imposed by the United Nations Security Council at they time !! Because everyone's own intelligence agency (not just the US ) even Russia and china was convinced Sadam did in-fact have WMDs
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 is a United Nations Security Council resolution adopted unanimously by the United Nations Security Council on 8 November 2002, offering Iraq under Saddam Hussein "a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations" that had been set out in several previous resolutions (Resolutions 660, 661, 678, 686, 687, 688, 707, 715, 986, and 1284).[1] It provided a justification for what was subsequently termed the US invasion of Iraq !!!
Resolution 1441 stated that Iraq was in material breach of the ceasefire terms presented under the terms of Resolution 687. Iraq's breaches related not only to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), but also the known construction of prohibited types of missiles, the purchase and import of prohibited armaments, and the continuing refusal of Iraq to compensate Kuwait for the widespread looting conducted by its troops during the 1990–1991 invasion and occupation. It also stated that "...false statements or omissions in the declarations submitted by Iraq pursuant to this resolution and failure by Iraq at any time to comply with, and cooperate fully in the implementation of, this resolution shall constitute a further material breach of Iraq's obligations."

Understand this simple fact ..
TRUMP dose not support Russia ;
TRUMP dose not support Ukraine ;
TRUMP dose not support NATO ;
TRUMP dose not support Europe ;
TRUMP dose not support UK;
TRUMP dose not support AMERICA ;
TRUMP ONLY SUPPORTS TRUMP !!!!
Trump will act in what he sees as his best interest regardless of what that is ; So if he directly benefits or indirectly benefits siding with anyone or anything he WILL DO THAT !!
All you need do, if you want Trumps backing is simple just sweeten the honey pot , more than the other guy , show Trump he has more to directly and indirectly to gain standing with you contra the other guy !!
(Trump is deal oriented not ideology orientated ; remember Trump does not think in abstract teams in the traditional sense he is often inconsistent in the way he applies his values, his political action and ideas , etc etc. to his political stands / beliefs (take a look at his actions not his words ) he can change direction within a flash if he believes its more beneficial to him ) Concepts like fairness, justice, honor, and integrity quite literally do not register. You can see this in every interview or press encounter. He never states an abstract thought or idea.
"Instead he falls back on simple adjectives: disgraceful, horrible, low-intelligence, perfect, innocent, nasty, stupid, fake, etc. He's driven by negative emotion, often paranoid and often insulting, vulgar, vitriolic." (he will one day talk extremely ill of someone if he believes it benefits him the next day he will make them into The Vice President if he thinks it benefits Trump; JD Vance was one point knocking heads with Trump now he is VP, As the poles showed JD was very popular within the Republican base .
Trump will say someone is the worst enemy of the US. then the next day he will flip flop and shake their hand just look at Kim Jong Un of North Korea ; one day he was the rocket man that Trump was going to nuke then the next day he was his best friend (when trump though making a deal will give trump a noble pace prize) ; now Kim is back in the Trump bad box )
TRUMP IS FOR TRUMP ITS THAT SIMPLE UNDERSTAND THIS AND ITS GAME SETT AND MATCH WHEN DEALING WITH HIM !!

The Kerch bridge is an illegal bridge built on Ukrainian territory and therefor this illegal structure belongs to Ukraine, becouse it was built on Ukrainian land; And this illegal structure is infact used by an invading force an occupying foreign force, that has conducted an belligerent illegal occupation of Ukrainian territory ..
So attacking and destroying this bridge is well within the definition of what is seen as a legal military structural target in accordance with international laws of war !!! It is also was built without the correct permissions from the correct legal Ukrainians authorities, so regardless of if it is a time of peace or war this structure, should be taken down and subject to demolition ; as this is by any definition an illegal structure built without the permission of Ukrainian authorities on Ukrainian land !!!
So based on those facts , the Ukrainian government are free to do whatever they want with this illegal structure that is the Kerch bridge, including but not limiting to, using it for spacial military target practice ,,, Ukraine dose not need to ask anyone for any permission regarding how they choose to use or do with this bridge, as this bridge is an illegal built on Ukraine's own territory !!

DNA AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL EVIDENCE PROOFS RUSSIANS ARE NOT SLAVIC BUT IN FACT FINNO-UGRIC JUST LIKE THEIR NEIGHBORING FINNISH !!
A recent study has found that haplogroup NO of the Finno-Ugric peoples and their descendants probably spread to today's Russia from Northern China about 12,000–14,000 years ago.
Take a look at the facts about The exonym "Hungarian" comes from "Ugor".in 895 The Magyars/Hungarians belonged to the Onogur tribal alliance, and it is possible that they became its ethnic majority The Hungarian people refer to themselves by the demonym "Magyar" rather than "Hungarian". "Magyar" is Finno-Ugric from the Old Hungarian "mogyër". "Magyar" possibly derived from the name of the most prominent Hungarian tribe, the "Megyer". The tribal name "Megyer" became "Magyar" in reference to the Hungarian people as a whole
Anthropologically, the type of Magyars of the conquest phase shows similarity to that of the Andronovo people, in particular of the Sarmatian groups around the southern Urals. The Turanid (South-Siberian) and the Uralid types from the Europe-Mongoloids were dominant among the conquering Hungarians .. And this is the same as you will find in Russians finish today!!!
According to a 2008 study, the mitochondrial lines of the Hungarians are clearly indistinct from that of neighboring Slavs like Ukrainians and Polish people ..
The Hungarians like the Finish are of the same as Magyars what we today call Hungarian. (Magyar" is Finno-Ugric ) Four 10th century skeletons from well-documented cemeteries in Hungary of ancient Magyar individuals were sampled. Two of the four males belonged to Y-DNA Haplogroup N confirming their Finno-Ugric origin that proves and supports the historical claims that today's Finish and Hungarians come from Turanid (South-Siberian) and lived around what we today call northern and eastern part of Russia ..
The Finno-Ugric peoples are any of several peoples of Eurasia who speak languages of the Finno-Ugric group Karelians, Finns, Udmurts, and Komis. The traditional area of the indigenous Sami people is in Northern Finland and the Kola Peninsula in Northwest Russia and is known as Sápmi. Some other Finno-Ugric peoples have autonomous republics in Russia: Karelians (Republic of Karelia), Komi (Komi Republic), Udmurts (Udmurt Republic), Mari (Mari El Republic), and Mordvins (Moksha and Erzya; Republic of Mordovia).
German anthropologist J. F. Blumenbach compared Finnish, Sami (the Arctic reindeer herders) and Mongolian skulls and concluded that the Finns were ‘Mongoloid’ and not ‘white’ like the Swedes or Finland’s Swedish-speaking aristocracy. This was widely accepted and led to the Turanian theory – that both the Finns and Sami had originally come from the East – as well as strengthening the view, according to Finland-Swede sociologist Nina of Enehjelm, that Finns were somehow ‘other’..
He found that Sami, Estonian, Hungarian were from the same family but so were a series of languages across Siberia such as Komi and Mari. And even languages like Mongolian seemed to have a similar grammatical structure. This led to the ‘Migration Theory,’ the Finno-Ugric peoples arrived in Europe from Mongolia around three thousand years ago and finally got to what today is Finland and the northern part of Russia. The more recent discovery of genetics has added further evidence to the ‘Mongol’ claim. Geneticist Richard Kittles found in 1998 that Finns have ‘Dual Origins’ between Finno-Ugric and Mongoloid as measured by their ‘Y Chromosome Haplotype Variation.’ Other geneticists estimated that Finno-Ugric has between 10 percent and quarter Mongoloid genes..
And in 2003, Slovenian geneticist Andrej Marusic observed that the Finnish and Russian propensity to alcoholism could be explained by the Mongolian ADH22 gene ‘which is common in Eastern peoples but almost unheard of Europe.’
Vladimir Lenin may have had Mordvin ancestry. There is a belief that President Vladimir Putin of Russia is the potential of Finno-Ugric Vepsian ancestry.. failures by Russians to never really get out it backward ways I think you can be assigned to being "too Finish Urgic Mogoliish “ - meaning, primitive, backward, culturally un-European.
When Russians attempt to define their own race and assert that they are European it just comes over as false, and as far as today's scientific research goes, we can now conclude with certainty, Russian are not white Europeans it is a myth !!!
Russians try to claim they are something they are NOT !!
Russians are NOT Western European (Russians have claim to be for a long time it goes back to Peter the great wish to be a European nation ) but it is nothing but a myth a type of fake nationalistic, myopic, backwardness , and unaccepting of objective truth that Russians are in-fact nothing more than dissidents of Finno-Ugric tribes that assimilated with Mongolians back when the land of Moskal ( northern Russia ) was annexed by the Mongolians and made it a part of the Golden Horde…
(unlike the Real Slavic people the Ukrainians and polish people that never assimilated with Mongolian occupiers )
The Russian DNA is evidence that they are not white Europeans.
Testes of today's Russian males DNA have shown that they, like their ethnic brothers the Finnish people, share most of their chromosomes with the Chinese, and Mongolians (the Mongolian chromosomes ) just like the Finnish people do as well !! This has proven without a doubt that Russian is NOT European as they share their DNA with the Mongolians and the study also shows that no other Europeans (with the exception of Finno-Ugric people) share that same chromosome structure with the Mongolians as Russians do !! ..
And why is this you ask ..
Answer… because Russians are Finno-Ugric people that assimilated with Mongolians and NOT white Europeans like Slavic or Germanic people are..
Why is it so vitally important to find this proof you ask?
Answer… It shows a systematic falsification by Russia that started with Peter to falsify its history and links to Europe so Moscow can put down the claim to the Kievan Russia history, cultural and lands !!
What conclusion can we take out of all this data ??
1. Russians are NOT Slavic it is a myth !!
2. Russians are closer genetically linked to Finno-Ugric and Mongolians 3. Slavic people like the Polish and Ukrainians are NOT genetically linked to Finno-Ugric and Mongolians..
4. Russians need to reevaluate their own history and accept the facts that they are nothing genetically to do with Slavic peoples heritage and therefore have no calm to Slavic lands, culture, and history !!
5. The Finno-Ugric/ Mongolians that are today's Moskli Russians have in fact appropriated another ppl.(Ukrainian/ Slavs ) culture, heritage, lands and history and today are like they have done for centuries lying about their own background and history to put down the claim to other ppl. heritage and lands..
6. Ukraine has never really been Russian lands .
Any more than Norway is Swedish or Danish (or Finland is Swedish or Russian ) just because Norway was forcefully taken into a union with Sweden and Denmark ( the same as Finland was with Sweden taken into a union ) and for some time under Swedish and Danish occupation and the rule , does NOT make Norway into Swedish or Danish lands ...
Norway like Ukraine and Finland was just a politically and military occupied nation for some time in its history that's all..
Norway has been from time to time under Swedish and Danish occupation and even some Norwegian cities was built by Swedish and Danish occupier's....
But that doesn't mean that Sweden or Denmark owns Norway or that Norwegians are Swedish or Danish ANY MORE THEN Russia owns Ukraine and Ukrainians are Russians or Sweden owns Finland and the Finnish ppl- are Swedish ....!!!

Russia’s Life-Saver: Lend-Lease Aid to the U.S.S.R. in World War II clear case that the program was a major factor in the survival of the Soviet Union and the victory over Nazism. A well kwoen Russian historian says ... The Importance of Lend-Lease cannot be overestimated with out the USA the USSR will never driven Hitler out of Russia..
The importance of economic cooperation with the U.S. and Canada cannot be overestimated. According to the dollar rate of 2003, the inflation-adjusted value of these supplies amounted to $130 billion.
These supplies were critical in some key areas.
For example, in the beginning of 1942, Western tanks fully replenished Soviet losses, and exceeded them by three times. About 15 percent of the aircraft used by Soviet air forces were supplied by Allies, including the Airacobra fighter and Boston bomber.
The Allies supplied 15,000 state-of-the-art machines at that time; for example, famous Soviet ace Alexander Pokryshkin flew Airacobra, as did the rest of his squadron. He shot down 59 enemy aircraft, and 48 of them were thanks to American military equipment.
With major agricultural regions of the Soviet Union under enemy occupation, and the unsatisfactory system of distribution and transportation, to say nothing of mismanagement, the Soviet state had more than a nodding acquaintance with famine. Without Western aid, during the war the Soviet population would have been in danger of sharing the fate of those trapped in Leningrad and the earlier victims of collectivization. Even with the American aid, many Russians died from lack of food. Equally important was Lend-Lease’s contribution to transportation. It would have been impossible for the Red Army to move the masses of troops and supplies on the primitive roads to the front lines without American Studebaker trucks, which also served as the launching pads for the dreaded Soviet rocket artillery.
Besides weaponry and food, Lend-Lease provided the Soviet Union with other resources, ranging from clothing to metals. With the start of the Cold War, Lend-Lease became a forgotten chapter in Soviet history and was only revived after glasnost. Now, thanks to Russian researchers and this excellent study, the West will have access to the real story. Lend-Lease provided vital help for the Soviet Union when the country was in desperate straits and made a significant contribution to the final victory. It also strengthened Josef Stalin, a fact that did not bother its chief architect, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who saw beyond the Allied victory and looked at Stalin as a counterbalance to the European colonial powers.

Massive American Aid Has Helped Russians Three Times in the Last Century..
Under the bland title of the Lend-Lease Act, American taxpayers sent to the Soviet people, from 1941o to 1945, $11.3 billion worth of war supplies. That is $146 billion in contemporary dollars.
This steel river of jeeps, trucks and bombers was neither a loan nor a lease. Franklin Roosevelt chose that title in the hopes of deluding American isolationists who opposed what they saw (correctly) as an outright gift to Moscow.
What did this money buy for the USSR? 3,770 bombers, 11,594 fighter planes, 5,980 anti-aircraft guns, 2,000 railroad locomotives, 51,000 jeeps, 361,000 trucks, 56,445 field telephones, 600,000 kilometers of telephone wire, 22 million artillery shells, almost one billion rifle cartridges, and 15 million pairs of army boots.
Shipped through the North Atlantic, driven up through Persia, or flown in from Alaska, this ready-made war material also freed up 600,000 Soviet factory workers to directly fight the Nazi invaders.

@TheJcrist Putin loves claim and remember "victory" in the "great patriotic war" or "world war two" but forgets to remember that Stalin would have lost the war within months against his good old buddy gone bad Mr. Hitler if he hadn't received huge aid of all kinds from the United States, G Britain and Canada. In Moscow they should build statues honoring Franklin D. Roosevelt and Sir Winston Churchill.
(DONT FORGET STALIN AND HITLER STATED WW2 TOGETHER BY INVADING POLAND IN 1939 in accordance with the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, in which Josef Stalin and Adolf Hitler carved up parts of Europe for themselves, RuZZia started ww2 together with Hitler by invading Poland in 1939 , it was only after Stalins good buddy hitler turned on him that RuZZia came running til the west begging for help to fight the nazis ... )
“As long as the government of RuZZia and the political elite, and political propaganda continue to whitewash communist crimes and glorify the Soviet totalitarian regime.” “which pave the way for the distortion of historical facts about the consequences of the Second World War and the propagation of the totalitarian political system.”
Russia’s Life-Saver: Lend-Lease Aid to the U.S.S.R. in World War II clear case that the program was a major factor in the survival of the Soviet Union . A well known Russian historian says ... The Importance of Lend-Lease cannot be overestimated with out the USA the USSR will never have driven Hitler out of Russia..
The importance of economic cooperation with the U.S. and Canada cannot be overestimated. According to the dollar rate of 2022, the inflation-adjusted value of these supplies amounted to $160 billion.
These supplies were critical in some key areas.
For example, in the beginning of 1942, Western tanks fully replenished Soviet losses, and exceeded them by three times. About 15 percent of the aircraft used by Soviet air forces were supplied by Allies, including the Airacobra fighter and Boston bomber.
A few clarifications must be done :
The first is that: The Hitler PERSECUTION of Jews forced the best physicists in the world to emigrate to the USA where they ended up building the first nuclear weapons for the US. so even without the help of Russia the west will in the end have won the war like it did anyway . (ww2 only stoped when the bomb was dropped on Japan not a big prob. to do the same with Germany )
Note that ; The backup plan of the US , if Britain was invaded and taken over by Nazi GERMANY was the nuclear weapon was to be used to hit Nazi Germany and nuked Germany with the B-36 project a spas. bomber made to carry the nuclear bomb this bomber was able to fly from US. to Europe complete the mission and fly back to US.
But when it became clear that Germany would not be able to invade the UK, it was believed that the B-17s and B-24s would be enough, the B-36 project was canceled and taken back later, first flight in 1946, in service from 1949 to 1959 as the main bomber for the US .
(Also on a side note before world war 2 ) The Soviet Union earned recognition from the United States on November 16, 1933 by restoring diplomatic relations in a climate of cooperation sought by President Franklin Delano Roosevelt. This allowed the export of thousands of tool machines (of which the USA was the world's largest producer) that were essential for Stalin's USSR industrialization.
If the USSR had remained an agricultural and low-industrialized country Hitler would have invaded it quickly.)
Georgy Zhukov after ww2 said : (Georgy Konstantinovich Zhukov was a Soviet general and Marshal of the Soviet Union.)
"Now they say that the allies never helped us, but there is no denying that the Americans gave us so many goods without which we wouldn't have been able to form our reserves and continue the war," gene said Soviet rally Georgy Zhukov after the end of World War II.
Georgy Zhukov : “We didn’t have explosives, gunpowder. We had nothing to load our guns with. The Americans really saved us with gunpowder and explosives. And how many slabs of steel they gave us!
How could we make our own tanks. without American steel?
But now it seems we have plenty of it. Without American Studebaker trucks we’d will have had nothing to haul the artillery with”.
The Soviets were sent 44,600 tool machines as well as thousands of electric ovens that were used to equip the factories beyond the Urals, 7 million tons of iron were sent, over 6 million tons of steel, ques it was supplied with slabs, as Zhukov said, that were cut, drilled and welded to form the T-34 hulls, the processing waste was melted in electric ovens, poured into the molds to form the turrets.
Adequate amount of steel to make 35,000 T-34/76 and 22,000 T34/85.
Over 500,000 tons of aluminum were sent, more than enough to build all Soviet aircrafts, half from the U.S. and half from Canada, the bauxite was Australian.
Half of the used explosives and chemical products were sent to produce the other half of the explosives in Soviet factories.
Half of the leather boots used (15 million pairs) and leather to produce the other half of the boots.
All Red Army's wool coats came from the U.S. in addition to canned meat and flour (4,478,000 tons of food supplies). 2,670,000 tons of petroleum products including high octane airplane gasoline.
Over 400,000 full-wheel-drive vehicles that allowed the military to motorize, like the Germans even the Soviets only had models of American commercial trucks from the thirties unfit for off-road.
The T34/85 radios were made in the USA - and over 17,821 fighter jets, 3,000 carrier planes, 1,000 ASW seaplanes, 20,768 armored vehicles, 15,631 cannons, 131,633 machine guns.

@TheJcrist IT WAS NOT ETHNIC RUSSIAN THAT DIED FIGHTING THE NAZIS it was Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia and the other nations that was forced into the USSR and put in the front lines as cannon fodder the ethnic Russians was the NKVD cowards shooting everyone else in the backs the ethnic Russians was in the NKVD and was officers and in supply units behind the lines not getting used a cannon fodder !!
Also let us not forget the fact the it was the Stalin and RuSSia that made it possible for Hitler to build up his nazi army by giving him iron-ore and other need goods from 1939-1941 the soviet union was the strongest and most important partner of nazi Germany ..
It was only after June 1941 when Hitler turned on his good buddy Stalin and attacked the USSR that Stalin came running to the west for help and the west said yes ok we will let you fight with us they did this well knowing that Stalin helped Hitler build his army and also because the west was thinking in terms like my enemy's enemy is my friend policy and tactic
Russians living in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. I really think that the Russians aren’t the ones to lecture ANYONE about fascism, or anything else for that matter, especially since RuSSians was the ones that signed the pact with the-devil [nazigermany] and started World War II… and even today RuSSia are still glorifying Stalin... Hitlers good buddy in 1937-1941 Hitler and Stalin started ww2 together when they invaded Poland together.
The RuZZians were the cowards who shot their own troops in the backs to press other forward infront like a human shields and canon-fodder.
YES they did shoot their own troops in the backs But they did NOT shoot ethnic Russians in the backs as most of that scum was officers and in logistics and the NKVD doing the shooting...
The ethnic Russian scum was the pathetic scummy cowards that was shooting other Soviets in the back.....
And why did this happen you ask !
Answer : Becouse Stalin did not trust Ukrainians (and other none ethnic Russians )(remember he had only 8 years before Stalin had killed 10 mill Ukrainians in a genocide called the holodomor )
So what did Stalin do before ww2 he made a purge and killed all officers of non ethnic Russians decent in the Army and replaced them with ethnic Russians and made all others that was not ethnic Russians in low level positions in other worlds as cannon fodder for the german artillery and targets for german bullets... this was the Ukrainians, Belorussians , Uzbeks , Moldovan’s ect ect ect .. this is who was fighting and geting killed this is who was fighting the-nazi-not ethnic Russians they was in the safe jobs like NKVD ect ect ect ... back in the reserve army and as administrators ect ect..
Why do you think the Kremlin always say Russians died and not soviets died ?????
They do this to cover up this facts I have stated above and for Russia to take the honor from the people who really did the fighting..Russians and Russia have no shame !!

PART ONE OF THREE
Judaism is 3275 years old, Buddhism is 2500 years old, Chrisanity is 2000 years old, and Islam is only 1400 years old. Every country that is known to be Islamic was forcibly and violently invaded by Muslim hordes with the result that the inhabitants of these countries being forcibly converted, murdered and or enslaved by the Muslim hordes. Countries such as Egypt with the victims being Coptic Christians, Indonesia, and Malaysia with the Victims being Buddhist, and Jews in the Middle East. So who are the occupiers? There has never been a Palestine! Under the Ottomans, The Arab population in the land of Israel mostly saw themselves as Ottoman subjects. The Palestinian people came from Egypt, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia.
The Muslims call it conquest; I call it murder, Enslavement, , and pedophilia! It started in 634 AD, and has never stopped. Just look around the world, Sudan, Nigeria, Egypt, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Thailand, Sweden, and many other places in the world, and you will see violence perpetrated by Muslims onto the local populace. Below is the history of these crimes against humanity!
The individual Muslim conquests, together with their beginning and ending dates, are as follows:
Muhammad's campaigns

Byzantine–Arab Wars: 634–750
Main article: Byzantine–Arab Wars
Further information: Khalid ibn al-Walid and 'Amr ibn al-'As
Wars were between the Byzantine Empire and at first the Rashidun and then the Umayyad caliphates and resulted in the conquest of the Syria region, Egypt, North Africa and Armenia (Byzantine Armenia and Sassanid Armenia).
Under the Rashidun

• The conquest of southern Italy, 827
Frontier warfare continued in the form of cross border raids between the Umayyads and the Byzantine Isaurian dynasty allied with the Khazars across Asia Minor. Byzantine naval dominance and Greek fire resulted in a major victory at the Battle of Akroinon (739); one of a series of military failures of the Caliph Hisham ibn Abd al-Malik across the empire that checked the expansion of the Umayyads and hastened their fall.
Conquest of Persia and Mesopotamia: 633–651
Main article: Muslim conquest of Persia
Further information: Khalid ibn al-Walid and Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas
In the reign of Yazdgerd III, the last Sassanid ruler of the Persian Empire, an Arab Muslim army secured the conquest of Persia after their decisive defeats of the Sassanid army at the Battle of Walaja in 633 and Battle of al-Qādisiyyah in 636, but the final military victory didn't come until 642 when the Persian army was defeated at the Battle of Nahāvand. These victories brought Persia (modern Iran), Assyria (Assuristan) and Mesopotamia (modern Iraq) and south east Anatolia under Arab Muslim rule.
Then, in 651, Yazdgerd III was murdered at Merv, ending the dynasty. His son Peroz II escaped through the Pamir Mountains in what is now Tajikistan and arrived in Tang China.
Conquest of Transoxiana: 662–751
Main articles: Islamic conquest of Afghanistan, Islamic conquest of Turkestan, Battle of the Defile and Battle of Talas
Further information: History of Arabs in Afghanistan
Following the First Fitna, the Umayyads resumed the push to capture Sassanid lands and began to move towards the conquest of lands east and north of the plateau towards Greater Khorasan and the Silk Road along Transoxiana. Following the collapse of the Sassanids, these regions had fallen under the sway of local Iranian and Turkic tribes as well as the Tang Dynasty.
The conquest of Transoxiana (Ar. Ma wara' al-nahr) was chiefly the work of Qutayba ibn Muslim, who between 705 and 715 expanded Muslim control over Sogdiana, Khwarezm and the Jaxartes valley up to Ferghana. Following Qutayba's death in 715, local revolts and the defeats at the hands of the Chinese-sponsored Turgesh (chiefly the "Day of Thirst" in 724 and the Battle of the Defile in 731) led to a gradual loss of the province: by 738, the Turgesh and their Sogdian allies were raiding Khurasan south of the Oxus.
However, the murder of the Turgesh khagan, Su-lu, and the conciliatory policies of Nasr ibn Sayyar towards the native population opened the way for a swift, albeit not total, restoration of Muslim control over Transoxiana in 739–741. Muslim control over the region was consolidated with the defeat of the armies of Tang China in the Battle of Talas in 751.
Conquest of Sindh: 664–712
Main article: Muslim conquest in the Indian subcontinent
Further information: Muhammad bin Qasim
During the period of early Rajput supremacy in North and North-West India(modern day Pakistan) (7th century), the first Muslim invasions were carried out simultaneously with the expansion towards Central Asia. In 664, forces led by Al Muhallab ibn Abi Suffrah began launching raids from Persia, striking Multan in the southern Punjab, in what is today Pakistan.
In 711, an expedition led by Muhammad bin Qasim defeated Raja Dahir at what is now Hyderabad in Sindh, and established the Umayyad domination in the area by 712.
The west of Indian sub-continent was then divided into many states. Their relation between each other were very weak. Al-Ḥajjāj ibn Yūsuf the ruler of Iraq knew this and waited for the best moment to strike.
As Muslim Empire and Dahir's kingdom were contiguous to each other, frequent border clashes took place. As a result relation between the two got worse.
The King of Ceylon, the present Sri Lanka sent many 8 ships full of gifts for the Calipf Al-Walid and the ruler of present Iraq, Hajjaj Bin Yosuf. But the pirates plundered the ships at the Debal of Sindh, which is now known as "Karachi". Same Pirates were also involved in plundering the innocent merchants and cities near the coast. A woman was also victim of those Pirates acts. In response to the letter sent by her to Hajjaj Bin yousaf in early 711 AD, he demanded to take action against Pirates from Raja
Dahir. But Raja Dahir denied to take responsibility for the crimes committed by the pirates.

FOR PART TWO OF THREE
For all these reasons. Hajjaj Bin yousaf sent soldiers against Dahir. But first two expeditions failed. Then in 712 CE Hajjaj sent the third expedition. The commander-in-chief of this expedition was Muhammad bin Qasim Al-Thaqafi the nephew and son-in-law of Hajjaj.
Qasim subdued the whole of what is modern Pakistan, from Karachi to Multan. After his recall, however, the region devolved into the semi-independent states of Mansura and Multan ruled by local Muslim converts.
The Arabs were effectively driven out after the defeats inflicted on them by the Gurjara Pratiharas. The emir of Sindh paid tribute to the Rashtrakuta king of Southern India.
Further Muslim conquests in India were halted after the defeat of Arabs in Battle of Rajasthan at the hands of Hindu kings.
Conquest of Hispania (711–718) and Septimania (719–720)
Main article: Umayyad conquest of Hispania
Further information: Tariq ibn Ziyad
The conquest of the Iberian Peninsula and Septimania commenced when the Moors (Berbers, Arabs and north west Africans) invaded Visigothic Christian Iberia (modern Spain, Portugal, Andorra, Septimania) in the year 711 Under their Moorish leader, Tariq ibn Ziyad, they landed at Gibraltar on April 30 and worked their way northward. Tariq's forces were joined the next year by those of his superior, Musa bin Nusair. During the eight-year campaign most of the Iberian Peninsula was brought under Islamic rule—save for small areas in the northwest (Asturias, Cantabria) and largely Basque regions in the western Pyrenees.
This territory, under the Arab name Al-Andalus, became first an Emirate and then an independent Umayyad Caliphate, the Caliphate of Córdoba, after the overthrowing of the dynasty in Damascus by the Abbasids. When the Caliphate dissolved in 1031 due to the effects of the Fitna of al-Ándalus, the territory split into small Taifas, and gradually the Christian kingdoms started the Reconquest up to 1492, when Granada, the last kingdom of Al-Andalus fell under the Catholic Monarchs.
Attempts to Conquer the Caucasus: 711–750
Main article: Arab–Khazar Wars
After the conquest of Armenia, Muslim armies began to raid into the Caucasus, where they were confronted by the Khazars. Initial Muslim raids in the 640s and early 650s ended with the defeat of an Arab force led by Abd ar-Rahman ibn Rabiah outside the Khazar town of Balanjar.
Hostilities broke out again in the 710s, with raids back and forth across the Caucasus but few decisive battles. The Khazars, led by a prince named Barjik, invaded northwestern Iran and defeated the Umayyad forces at Ardabil in 730, killing the Arab governor al-Jarrah al-Hakami and briefly occupying the town.The Arabs eventually drove them back into the Caucasus, killing Barjik.
Arab armies led first by the Arab prince Maslama ibn Abd al-Malik and then by Marwan ibn Muhammad (later Caliph Marwan II) poured across the Caucasus and eventually (in 737) defeated a Khazar army led by Hazer Tarkhan, briefly occupying Atil itself. The difficult terrain and hostile population made a permanent occupation impossible; the Arab armies withdrew and Khazar independence was re-asserted. The frontier between the two groups eventually became static around Derbent ; although the Khazars would continue to raid Muslim territory, there were no more major battles.
End of the Umayyad conquests: 718–750
Further information: Islamic invasion of Gaul
The success of the Bulgarian Empire and the Byzantine Empire in dispelling the second Umayyad siege of Constantinople halted further conquests of Asia Minor in 718. In 716 Khan Tervel signed an important agreement with Byzantium. During the siege of Constantinople in 717–718 he sent 50,000 troops to help the besieged city. In the decisive battle the Bulgarians massacred around 30,000 Arabs and Khan Tervel was called The saviour of Europe by his contemporaries.
After their success in overrunning the Iberian peninsula, the Umayyads had moved northeast over the Pyrenees where they were defeated in 721 at the Battle of Toulouse and then at the Battle of Covadonga. A second invasion was stopped by the Frankish Mayor of the Palace Charles Martel at the Battle of Tours in 732 and then at the Battle of the River Berre checking the Umayyad expansion at Narbonne.
The Türgesh Kaganate, a Turkic dynasty of the 700s, saw significant initial success fighting against the Umayyads. In 717, the Kara Turgesh elected Suluk as their Khaghan.
The new ruler moved his capital to Balasagun in the Chuy valley, receiving the homage of several chieftains formerly bond to the service of Bilge Khaghan of the Türküt. Suluk acted as a bulwark against further Umayyad encroachment from the south: the Arabs had indeed become a major player in recent times, despite the fact that Islam had yet to make many converts in central Asia.
Suluk's aim was to reconquer all of Transoxiana from the Arab invaders - his series of conquests was paralleled to the west by the activity of the Khazar empire. In 721 Turgesh forces, led by Kül Chor, defated the Caliphal army commanded by Sa'id ibn Abdu'l-Aziz near Samarkand. Sa'id's successor, Al-Kharashi, massacred Turks and Sogdian refugees in Khujand, causing an influx of refugees towards the Turgesh. In 724 Caliph Hisham sent a new governor to Khorasan, Muslim ibn Sa'id, with orders to crush the "Turks" once and for all. Confronted by Suluk on the way, however, Muslim reached Samarkand with only a handful of survivors, and the Turgesh were enabled to raid freely.
A string of subsequent appointees of Hisham were soundly defeated by Suluk, who in 728 even managed to take Bukhara and later on destroyed a large part of the Caliphate's army in Khurasan, discrediting Umayyad rule and maybe putting the foundations for the Abbasid revolution. The Turgesh state was at its apex of glory, controlling Sogdiana, the Ferghana Valley. It was only in 732, that two powerful Arab expeditions to Samarkand managed, if with embarrassing losses, to reestablish Caliphal authority in the area; Suluk renounced his ambitions over Samarkand and abandoned Bukhara, withdrawing north. In 734 an early Abbasid follower, al-Harith ibn Surayj, rose in revolt against Umayyad rule and took Balkh and Marv before defecting to the Turgesh three years later, defeated. In 738 Suluk, along with his allies Ibn Surayj, Ghurak (a Sogdian leader) and men from Usrushana, Tashkent and Khuttal to launch a final offensive. He entered Jowzjan but was defeated by the Umayyad governor Asad at the Battle of Sa'n or Kharistan.
In 738, the Umayyad armies were defeated by the Indian Hindu kings at the Battle of Rajasthan, checking the eastern expansion of the empire. In 740, the Berber Revolt weakened Umayyad ability to launch any further expeditions and, after the Abbasid overthrow in 756 at Cordoba, a separate Arab state was established on the Iberian peninsula, even as the Muhallabids were unable to keep Ifriqiya from political fragmentation.

FOR PART THREE OF THREE
In the east, internal revolts and local dissent led to the downfall of the Umayyad dynasty. The Khariji and Zaidi revolts coupled with mawali dissatisfaction as second class citizens in respect to Arabs created the support base necessary for the Abbasid revolt in 748. The Abbasids were soon involved in numerous Shia revolts and the breakaway of Ifriqiya from the Caliph's authority completely in the case of the Idrisids and Rustamids and nominally under the Aghlabids, under whom Muslim rule was extended temporarily to Sicily and mainland Italy before being overrun by the competing Fatimids.
The Abbasid caliph, even as he competed for authority with the Fatimid Caliph, also had to devolve greater power to the increasing power of regional rulers. This began the process of fragmentation that soon gave rise to numerous local ruling dynasties who would contend for territory with each other and eventually establish kingdoms and empires and push the boundaries of the Muslim world on their own authority, giving rise to Mamluk and Turkic dynasties such as the Seljuks, Khwarezmshahs and the Ayyubids who fought the crusades, as well as the Ghaznavids and Ghorids who conquered India.
In Iberia, Charles Martel's son, Pippin the Younger, retook Narbonne, and his grandson Charlemagne actually established the Marca Hispanica across the Pyrenees in part of what today is Catalonia, reconquering Girona in 785 and Barcelona in 801.
This formed a permanent buffer zone against Muslims, with Frankish strongholds in Iberia (the Carolingian Empire Spanish Marches), which became the basis, along with the King of Asturias for the Reconquista, spanning 700 years which after the fall of the Caliphate of Córdoba contested with both the successor taifas as well as the African-based Muslim empires, such as the Almoravids and Almohads, until all of the Muslims were expelled from the Iberian peninsula.
Conquest of Nubia: 700–1606
After two attempts at military conquest of Nubia failed (see First Battle of Dongola), the Arab commander in Egypt concluded the first in a series of regularly renewed treaties known as AlBaqt (pactum) with the Nubians, this governed the relations between the two peoples for more than six hundred years. Thereafter Islam progressed peacefully in the area through intermarriages with Nubians and contact with Arab merchants and settlers. It should be noted that according to some Muslim sources the second invasion of Nubia by the Muslims was actually a victory which led to the AlBaqt treaty. In one Muslim source the leader of the second invasion, Abdullah ibn Sad ibn Abi Sarh, is actually called the conqueror of Nubia
In 1171 CE the Nubians invaded Egypt, but were defeated by the Muslim Ayyubids. From 1172-1173 CE the Muslim Ayyubids fought and defeated another Nubian invasion force from Makuria which had penetrated Egypt. This time the Muslim Ayyubids not only repelled the invasion, but actually conquered some parts of northern Nubia in retaliation.
In the late 13th century the Muslim Sultan of Egypt,Sultan Baybar, defeated and subjugated the kingdom of Nubia (Makuria). Sultan Baybar made the Kingdom of Nubia (Makuria) a vassal state of Egypt. Decades later In 1315 the Christian kingdom of Makuria was conquered by the Muslim Mamelukes, and a Muslim prince of Nubian royal blood was placed on the throne of Dongola as king.
During the 15th century, the Funj, an indigenous people appeared in southern Nubia and established the Kingdom of Sinnar, also known as As-Saltana az-Zarqa (the Blue Sultanate). The kingdom officially converted to Islam in 1523 and by 1606 it had supplanted the old Christian Nubian kingdom of Alwa (Alodia) and controlled an area spreading over the northern and central regions of modern day Sudan thereby becoming the first Islamic Kingdom in Sudan. Their kingdom lasted until 1821.
Incursions into southern Italy: 831–902
Main article: History of Islam in southern Italy
The Aghlabids rulers of Ifriqiya under the Abbasids, using present-day Tunisia as their launching pad conquered Palermo in 831, Messina in 842, Enna in 859, Syracuse in 878, Catania in 900 and the final Byzantine stronghold, the fortress of Taormina, in 902 setting up emirates in Sicily. In 846 the Aghlabids sacked Rome.
Berber and Tulunid rebellions quickly led to the rise of the Fatimids taking over Aghlabid territory . The Kalbid dynasty administered the Emirate of Sicily for the Fatimids by proxy from 948. By 1053 the dynasty died out in a dynastic struggle and interference from the Berber Zirids of Ifriqiya led to its breakdown into small fiefdoms which were captured by the Italo-Normans by 1091.
Conquest of Anatolia: 1060–1360
Main article: Byzantine–Seljuk Wars
The Abbasid period saw initial expansion and the capture of Crete (840). The Abbasids soon shifted their attention towards the east. During the later fragmentation of the Abbasid rule and the rise of their Shiite rivals the Fatimids and Buyids, a resurgent Byzantium recaptured Crete and Cilicia in 961, Cyprus in 965, and pushed into the Levant by 975. The Byzantines successfully contested with the Fatimids for influence in the region until the arrival of the Seljuq Turks who first allied with the Abbasids and then ruled as the de facto rulers.
In 1068 Alp Arslan and allied Turkmen tribes recaptured many Abbasid lands and even invaded Byzantine regions, pushing further into eastern and central Anatolia after a major victory at the Battle of Manzikert in 1071.
The disintegration of the Seljuk dynasty, the first unified Turkic dynasty, resulted in the rise of subsequent, smaller, rival Turkic kingdoms such as the Danishmends, the Sultanate of Rûm, and various Atabegs who contested the control of the region during the Crusades and incrementally expanded across Anatolia until the rise of the Ottoman Empire.
Byzantine-Ottoman Wars: 1299–1453
Main article: Byzantine–Ottoman Wars
Further conquests: 1200–1800
Mughal expansion rapidly gave Muslims control of India
After the Mongol Empire destroyed the Abbasid Caliphate, rampaged through most of the Muslim world following the Battle of Baghdad (1258), they soon converted to Islam, beginning an era of Turkic and Mongol expansions of Muslim rule into Eastern Europe, Central Asia and India. Timur envisioned the restoration of the Mongol Empire of Genghis Khan.[11] Unlike his predecessors, Timur was also a devout Muslim (As he converted after the conquest of Damascus) and referred to himself as the Sword of Islam. His armies were inclusively multi-ethnic and multicultural. During his lifetime Timur would emerge as the most powerful ruler in the Muslim world after defeating the formidable Mamluks of Egypt and Syria, the emerging Ottoman Empire and the declining Sultanate of Delhi; Timur had also decisively defeated the Knights Hospitaler at Smyrna and since then referred to himself as a Ghazi. By the end of his reign Timur had also gained complete suzerainty over all the remnants of the Chagatai Khanate, Ilkhanate, Golden Horde and even the Yuan Khanate.
However, the remains of his massive empire would carve out three of the world's most powerful empires to pick up the ruins. The Ottoman Empire would fill up the power to the West of his empire, gradually taking up most of the Near East. The Saffavids would occupy Persia and Central Asia, whilst a descendant of Tamerlane would invade Kabul and from here would carve out an empire stretching from the borders of Persia in the West to the Bay of Bengal in the East. This empire would be known later as the Mughal Empire.
732 AD the Muslim Army which was moving on Paris was defeated and turned back at Tours, France, by Charles Martell. 1571 AD the Muslim Army/ Navy was defeated by the Italians and Austrians as they tried to cross the Mediterranean to attack southern Europe in the Battle of Lepanto. 1683 AD the Turkish Muslim Army, attacking Eastern Europe, was finally defeated in the Battle of Vienna by German and Polish Christian Armies. In 1783 AD when the British Colonies that would become the United States of America gained independence from Great Britain, 5 Muslim countries of North Africa declared war on our newly independent nation, hijacking and kidnapping merchant sailors and selling them for ransom, or into slavery. When the United States of America was established, we were forced to pay extortion fees amounting to 20 - 25% of our federal budget to those Muslim countries to keep them from their hijacking and kidnapping. It took two administrations, Washington and Adams, to build a sufficient Navy so that President Jefferson, in 1805, could send the Navy and Marines to conquer Tripoli and end the piracy. Islam has been at war with the USA since our founding. If these battles had not been won we might be speaking Arabic and Christianity could be non - existent; Judaism certainly would be ... And let us not forget that Hitler was an admirer of Islam and that the Mufti of Jerusalem was Hitler's guest in Berlin and raised Bosnian Muslim SS Divisions: the 13th and 21st Waffen SS Divisions who killed Jews, Russians, Gypsies, and any other "subhumans." This crap has been going on for 1,400 years and half of the politicians don't even know it. Many Americans have become so insulated from reality that they imagine that America can suffer defeat without any inconvenience to themselves. Pause a moment, reflect back. These events are actual events from history: Fact Check: Muslim Male Extremists 1968 to Present:

MAGA: = Moscow Agent (‘Krasnov’) Governing America
Ukraine had an absolutely identical situation in Ukraine, when the Russian agent Yanukovych won the presidential elections back in 2010.
The fact that he was recruited by the Russian security service the FSB has already been well documented at this point (he is now living in MOSCOW with 40 billion dollars of stolen Ukrainian state funds.
The people of Ukraine, were absolutely confused. when Putins boy Yanukovych took office ; when they did not know what to do. they were apathetic and had no leaders.
When Yanukovych got into office he was fast to put other Russian agents in all the key gov. positions. Just so you understand, Yanukovych put a guy who had Russian citizenship in the post of Minister of Defense of Ukraine. Yanukovych and his people destroyed the Ukrainian army by systematic dismantling and shutting down departments; and in 4 years, stole the country's budget. Because of this, Ukraine was absolutely unprepared for the annexation of Crimea and the invasion of Russian "green men" in east Ukraine 2014.
I'm not the smartest person in the world, how come Trump is the only president to ever sucked up to Russia, and look how quick he's collapsing the US economy and now the US Allies turning their backs to America, starting a trade war with of all countries Canada 🇨🇦 and Mexico 🇲🇽
Americans! You are now in the same situation as Ukraine were. Your so-called president is a KGB recruit, agent "Krasnov". This has already been confirmed from various sources. And what he does now confirms it even more. Just look at who he appoints to key positions. How he betrays Ukraine and European allies. How he idolizes Putin. What other signals do you need to start acting?
MAGA and Putin are aligned, they want to make sure to make sure they sit with the money and power ; they don't like the free society. They aren't making a mistake. We are still not getting it
Trump:
1. Threatens their ex-ally Canada with economic ruin if they don't allow the US to take them over "voluntarily".
2. Threatens Denmark that they will take Greenland from them one way or another because they wants it my precious, so they will haves it.
3. Aligns with dictators including Russia, China and North Korea in a vote against democratic Ukraine, and cuts off support for them while at the same time trying to extort an unreasonable "deal" for a large amount of their natural resources with no guarantees they'll try to get back their land from Russia in return.
4. "Negotiates" behind Ukraine's back with Russia asking them for zero concessions, and then sets up Zelenskyy in an interview complete with the Russian state media in attendance in a way that seems straight out of the CCP's playbook on trying to de-power and twist the narrative on your opponents.
Hang on, are we really surprised that the US is now an ally of Russia given their expansionist, dictator like behavior lately? They're starting to look just as bad as Trump's new buddies.
5. Europe needs to make a defense alliance's with one for all all for one (an article agreement for Europe can call it EATO European Atlantic Treaty organization its that easy !!
Trump is trying to force Ukraine into a capitulation a total surrender ; masquerading as a" PEACE DEAL " its not a peace deal when only one side must give up everything and the other side gets everything it wants ; and it defiantly not a peace deal when one side must give a 3rd party 50% of its natural resources !! This is putting a gun to some head and telling them make the deal becouse either you brains or your signature will be on the document !
Zelenskyy says he is willing to come to an fare agreement but in exchange Ukraine needs solid security guarantees to secure Ukraines sovereignty and safety within its own borders and what has Trump offered of " the Trump security guarantees " he offered that American companies can start up in UKRAINE and that will make Putin (according to the Donald) think twice about attacking Ukraine in the further !!
WOW its was that easy all a long to scare off Putin just send American companies into Ukraine!! LOL .....
That the guarantee!!!! thats what they are now telling Zelenskyy this is what Trump and Vance are trying to sell Zelenskyy this is what they saying is a solid security he can take back to the Ukrainians mothers ; thats what their sons ended up killed for when they so heroically defended their country form Putins aggression ..
WOW thats fantastic then why did they (the US ) send all those weapons in the first place?
US. should have just sent in Microsoft, Ford motor company , Heinz Tomato Ketchup , Coca Cola , Mac Donalds. together with some big boys like ConocoPhillips, Hecla Mining, Chevron and Goldman Sachs and last but not least The Walt Disney Company!!
I hear Mickey Mouse big ears really scares Putin to death -- !!!!
TRUMP AND VANCE ARE TRYING TO PLAY UKRAINIANS FOR FOOLS; AND STEAL UKRAINIANS NATURAL MINERALS, SO WHO IS BEING DISRESPECTFUL HERE !!
FACT In Ukraine there was already American and European interests and massive companies in Ukraine before the war but Putin still invaded; so this is just Trump talking BS to get 50% of Ukraines natural resources for nothing and then turn around and say look what a master deal maker I am the art of the deal !!

@recalcitrantrecidivist5927 What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is almost 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukraine Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries were nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..
Also these people who advocate this view that Ukraine shroud just give up land and appeasement to Russians wants wishes are also being very ignorant to the fact that there were already treaties in place between Russia and Ukraine where Russia respecting the integrity of Ukraine's borders plus other treaties relating to the seas around Ukraine.
Putin has already broken those treaties.
Why would Ukraine believe Putin would stick to a new treaty when he's just broken half a dozen of the previous Russia Ukraine treaties and agreements.
Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.

A growing number of Russian analysts, in Russia and abroad, have taken to calling Vladimir Putin's regime "fascist." And they don't use the term casually or as a form of opprobrium. They mean that Putin's Russia genuinely resembles Mussolini's Italy or Hitler's Germany.
One of the most recent examples was Mikhail Iampolski. According to the Russian-born NYU professor, "the appeal of quasi-fascist discourse was predictable" as the Russian economy tanked. Moscow rejects "[a]nything that could be seen as a sign of weakness or femininity," including liberalism and homosexuality, and then projects these qualities onto the enemy. Consequently, "Ukrainians are systematically accused of fascism, while Russian fascism is displaced by a false idealization of one's own image."
In March, Moscow commentator Yevgeni Ikhlov charged Putin with introducing a "left fascism" that, while "anti-market and quasi-collectivist," is "fascism because it is a form of a militant and most primitive philistinism." In January 2015, Andrei Zubov, fired from the Moscow State Institute of International Relations for opposing Putin's Ukraine policies, argued that Russia's President was building "a corporate state of a fascist type packaged in Soviet ideology, the ideology of Stalinism," resulting in a Russia that closely resembles Italian fascism with its "nationalism and union with the church." Moscow-based analyst Aleksei Shiropaiev claimed that Russia was moving toward fascism "at a galloping pace." Russian fascism "has become a FACT," "mass Russian consciousness remains absolutely imperialist and chauvinist," and most Russians have "ACCEPTED fascization and are ready to agree to even massive political repressions."
But are the analysts right? The evidence is compelling. Fascist regimes have charismatic dictators with hyper-masculine personality cults. These regimes generally evince a hyper-nationalist ethos, a cult of violence, mass mobilization of youth, high levels of repression, powerful propaganda machines, and imperialist projects. Fascist regimes are hugely popular—usually because the charismatic leader appeals to broad sectors of the population. Putin and his Russia fit the bill perfectly.
In calling Putin's Russia fascist, Russian critics have proven to be far bolder than their non-Russian counterparts in the West, who remain wary about the F-word. Some Westerners genuinely believe that Putin's brand of dictatorship differs from past fascist regimes. They often locate the differences in the historical conditions that gave rise to Hitler, Mussolini, and Putin, and not in the actual characteristics of their regimes. But doing so confuses the origins of similar things with their essential features. No one would say that America is not democratic because the origins of American democracy lay in revolution and not, as with Britain, in historical evolution.
But many Westerners fear the implications of calling a spade a spade. If Putin's Russia is fascist, then it is comparable to Hitler's Germany and Mussolini's Italy and, thus, certifiably evil. And that means that calls for understanding Putin amount to calls for understanding evil. So it's better to pretend that Russia isn't fascist. Hence the popularity of abstruse designations like managed democracy and sovereign democracy or terms—such as Putinism—that only state the obvious.
A similar conceptual change is likely to take place with fascism. As the chorus of Russian voices using the F-word grows, Western policymakers who insist that we should listen to Putin and understand his point of view will have no choice but to listen to and understand his critics.
Calling Putin's system fascist will mark a conceptual breakthrough in Western attitudes—and perhaps policies—toward Russia. Viewing his state as evil does not necessitate rattling sabers. Soft power and diplomacy will remain no less important than hard power. But the conceptual shift would recognize that Putin and his regime are the problem, and that the problem will go away only when he and his regime go away. In a word, there are no quick fixes to the Putin problem. The West is in for a long, hard slog involving economic and military support for Ukraine and its neighbors, the containment of Russian imperialism, and support for anti-fascist elements within Russia. The good news is that, now as then, democracy will win.

And Russia and Iran is behind all of this Russia is the one supporting Hamas, sending weapons and resources and have done for years Russia does this via Iran, using Iran as a puppet state a this way have possible deniability so Kremlin can send Hamas weapons and funding !!

The Black Sea countries are many!! And Then Black Sea does not belong to Russia that’s a myth !!
Bulgaria, (NATO )
Romania (NATO)
Turkey (NATO)
Ukraine (NATO partner )
Georgia (NATO partner)
So in-fact ANY NATO country members navy and or air force is within their full right to sail and be within the Black Sea, as non of the Black Sea Nations (That have a real and legal int. recognized cost-line not like Russia ) have any problem with NATO ships being in their waters and even the non NATO members like Ukraine and Georgia, even more so then the NATO nations, want and are begging for more NATO ships to come and be in the BLACK SEA !
(NATO nations of the black sea are in-fact real black sea nations not like Russia stealing land then claiming to be the owner of that land and sea )
Coastline length to the black see by country/ Country Coastline length (km)
Turkey 1,329km (NATO)
Ukraine 2,782km (NATO partner )
Bulgaria 354km (NATO)
Georgia 310km (NATO partner )
Romania 225km (NATO)
And her is a thought .. If every neighbor you have is running to begging NATO to let them join NATO is it becouse you are such a nice and good neighbor?
Or is it because you act like a bully and are aggressive and invade your neighbor lands sending in troops and tanks Hungary 1956,
Czechoslovakia 1968,
Poland 1980
Moldova 1990-91,
Georgia 2008,
Ukraine 2014 ++ and now all of Ukraine 2022+++
RuZZia eat eat eats its victims and then blames its victims for eating them
... Maybe if you act in a more nicer way, then your neighbors will liked you more and maybe your neighbors in your neighborhood will want to be around you as well ..

ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is almost 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed

Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination like a type of 2nd class country; that is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country, that indirectly will serving the kremlins geopolitical agenda, and so Kremlin, the RuZZians and Putin can feel better about themselves ...
All the Eastern European countries has more or less joined NATO because they was scared of Russia and want make sure they will stay independent, (and the same goes for the EU financial independence ) Nobody forced Eastern European countries to join , NATO or the EU all of them came running and begging and knocking on the door of NATO and EU by themselves, asking and begging to be let into The EU and NATO !!
Russia invading Ukriane back 2014 and Georgia back in 2008 and now all out war with Ukraine from 2022++ just showed, why it was and still is a good idea for those Eastern European countries to join NATO, and the EU because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well .
During Soviet times those Eastern countries where nothing but quasi Russia puppet states and where totally exploited by Russia under under its heel and boot. If those eastern European countries didn't join NATO then they couldn't have guaranteed their own future continuous independence from Russia by themselves . Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure their independence !!!
The former satellite states like Poland,Romania,Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect was running to and knocking at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come inn and thats the truth !! . If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..

@robfarrell9104 It might be useful to recap some of the reason why Russia is now an outcast :
Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade; Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU;
Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries;
Provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace;
Russia's interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia;
Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers;
Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory;
Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region;
Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation";
Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict;
Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people;
Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006;
Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018;
among lots of other things to much to even list up ..
NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.

@robfarrell9104 Let’s look at Ukraine’s disgraced former President, (Putins boy) Mr . Victor Yanukovych . After he fled to Putin with billions of stolen money the Kremlin-backed politician and his cronies (made away with $40 billion in state Ukrainian assets disappear ) the idea that he remained the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state, and therefore the manner in which he was replaced was automatically illegitimate, was commonplace. This line of thinking was heavily promulgated by his new host country for reasons that are self-evident. But was it right, or even logical, to claim this?
The legitimacy of the Yanukovych regime indeed began with a somewhat fair election, albeit an election in which the Ukrainian people had no good other choices at the time
(NOTE : Yanukovych was backed up by Moscow controlled media and corrupted elites that have dealings with the Kremlin and media inside Ukraine) .
But could that legitimacy go on unquestioned despite the blatant grand scale theft of state resources? No. Of course it could not.
Common hooligans and thugs were brought to Kyiv by the Yanukovych authorities to beat down on the students protesting Yanukovych authorities corruption (first recorded on Nov. 29, 2013when the protested was just a few days old) Yanukovych thugs mission was to terrorize the residents of the capital and beat down the students protesting Yanukovych . This act was completely in contradiction to Article 3 of the constitution that Yanukovych was elected to uphold. It was more than right to question Yanukovych’s legitimacy after this and the Ukrainian people did just that after seeing young students getting beat up by Yanukovych imported thugs in the streets of Kyiv, this act of state terrors, enraged the people even more and other joined the students protesting Yanukovych , now demanding his removal of office.
Lets take a closer look into legitimacy of Yanukovych Presidency..
Can the legitimacy of a ruling authority survive past the blatantly illegal adoption of laws designed to end democracy and create a dictatorship? No. Of course it cannot. Yet, this is what the Yanukovych controlled Party of Regions attempted to do on Jan. 16, 2014. Later analysis of images taken in parliament that while 235 MPs were declared to have voted for these “dictatorship” laws, only about half of this number of MPs were actually in the session hall when the vote was taken (by a show of hands – also illegal.)
After such clearly anti-democratic and dishonest actions, can anyone consider that authority to be legitimate? The actions were a breach of Article 5 of Ukraine’s constitution – something that Yanukovych was under oath to protect and uphold. But he failed to keep his word.
There were more violations of the constitution by Yanukovych, its supposed protector.
Article 27 of Ukraine’s constitution says that “Every person shall have the inalienable right to life. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of life.” Yet Yuri Verbitsky, a 42 year old geologist from Lviv, was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by forces belonging to the Yanukovych regime between Jan. 22 and Jan. 25 of 2014.
That Yanukovych had already lost any legitimacy by this point should be beyond question. Later, of course, came the deaths of many more people on Jan. 18 and then Jan. 20, after which Yanukovych fled to Russia, insisting his authority and position were still legitimate. Define legitimate.
The idea that legitimacy carries on from appointment without further question is a complete fallacy. It is something that we should refuse to accept. An elected leader most certainly can lose their legitimacy through illegal and/or unconstitutional, actions. The most recent public attempt at increasing the fog blurring the distinction between legitimately elected and legitimate comes from Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Bottom line, they are not the same, although it is easy to see why Russia’s ruling clan would seek to pretend that they are.

@robfarrell9104 WAS RUSSIA NOT UKRIANE THAT BROKE THE MINSK AGREEMENT !!!
There is no chance that Russia would ever stick to any agreement negotiated in the name of peace.
It ignored the Budapest Memorandum; the Helsinki Accords; the Minsk Agreement; the principles of the UN, its obligations under the UN Charter, its obligations as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, International Law, the Geneva Convention, the Nuremburg Principles, contract law, ....
And further evidence of the fact that there is no chance that Russia would ever stick to any agreement negotiated in the name of peace.
IS THAT IS WAS RUSSIA NOT UKRIANE THAT BROKE THE MINSK AGREEMENT !!!
Ukraine signed the Minsk agreement in good faith, hoping it would stop the killing in Donbas, even though the authorities in Kyiv knew it was a very bad deal for them.
Russia, on the other hand, viewed Minsk as a tool to pursue their war in Ukraine by other means, under the cover of an alleged ceasefire.
The authorities in Kyiv have made honest efforts to fulfill their obligations under Minsk.
But in a democracy, passing constitutional amendments and laws providing for elections in a warzone has -- not surprisingly -- proven to be politically challenging.
Russia hasn't even tried to fulfil its end of the bargain.
The Kremlin and its proxies in Donbas have violated the ceasefire practically from day one, starting with the siege of Debaltseve and continuing to this day.
It was Russia that broke the Minsk !!
Russia, the state launched the pseudo-elections in the occupied Donetsk and Luhansk, the 'elections' that contradict the letter and spirit of the Minsk agreements, and after those pseudo-elections was done russia then issued a statement the mandate a war, (special operation ) which it had long in all practical teams declared against Ukraine since they invaded crimea and east Ukraine back in 2014 ,”
Also lets not forget that the Russian pseudo-elections in the occupied part of eastern Ukraine had been condemned by the European Union, the U.S., and other G-7 states, as well as most of the UN Security Council members.
"They are not recognized anywhere in the world, except for the organizing country, the Russian Federation. And, unfortunately, this adventure will entail serious questions regarding security and political consequences. An important note: OSCE Special Representative Martin Sajdik also has made an official statement in Minsk saying that the : pseudo-elections in the occupied Donbas categorically contradict the spirit and letter of the Minsk Agreements,.
PUTINS CLAIM;; Putin said ; During these years, Kyiv authorities have ignored and sabotaged the implementation of the Minsk Package of Measures for a peaceful settlement of the crisis and ultimately late last year openly refused to implement it. THE TRUTH AND FACT ; “Minsk Package of Measures” The Minsk agreements of 2014 and 2015 was to establish peace in eastern Ukraine.
The Kremlin has been calling on Kyiv to concede the separatist area a special status via a constitutional reform (point 11) and to hold elections there (point 12). For there to be fair elections, the Ukrainian government has demanded that all armed groups leave the area (point 10), that all Russian heavy weapons be withdrawn (point 3) and for Kyiv to recover control of the Donbas border with Russia (point 9). so for the Minsk to even start it is in Russias ball park they must first remove and withdrawn Russian heavy weapons and armed groups leave the area ; then in accidence with Minsk agreement Ukraine will start hold elections there, but we are all waiting for Russia to remove its combatants first in accidence with Minsk agreement ..

@robfarrell9104 and since when can a bot buy a plan ticket hahaah And no one is asking anyone from america to come an fight in Ukraine the Ukrainian boys are more than willing to do the fighting and the dying as well if necessary , but until now most of the dying has been Russians getting killed in Ukraine to the point where Putin has be forced to conscript criminals from prison to fill up the ranks and race the age for national service to 65 years of age hahah; So clearly they are losing this war ... Russia can not even hold what they had taken a year ago ever day Russian army is losing ground in Ukraine , so Ukraine doesn't need american boys coming over to help fight the Russians , Ukriane only needs USA and UK to houner its agreements that it made with Ukraine back in 1994 called the Budapest Memorandum !!
To put things in perspective, Ukraine had 176 ICBMs and over 2000 tactical nukes along with bombers able to carry them.
They gave it all up in exchange for security guarantees from USA, UK and Russia ( Budapest Memorandum 1994 ).
One would say that assisting Ukraine now when its being invaded should be obvious thing to do when you signed up on their security and they gave up literally thousands nukes...
US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , becouse Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!

THE MYTH OF RUSSIA IS A SUPERPOWER ON THE WORLD STAGE DEBUNKED !
For centuries, Russia has seen itself as one of the world's great powers.
This superpower Russia status idea myth, seen by most of the world is now become a declining idea and the world is now seeing that Russia is not and has never been any super power; More and more ppl. now understand that Russia has only been masquerading as a "SUPER POWER " the Kremlin has been presenting itself as one and hiding behind the Myth of super power status; And even for some time the kremlin themself (one can argue) started to believe in their own lies, their own myth making and their own propaganda !
BUT AFTER UKRIANE THIS MYTH IS BUSTED !!
Russia: has only $1.48 trillion annual GDP that makes Russia about the same size economically on the level of Spain if your economy is as small as Spain how can you think even for one min you are some sort of super power, that has some spacial right to be seen on the same level as UK, US , or even China ???
Let's look at some fact here: Russia is closer to Indonesia and Australia economically, than it is UK , Germany , France US or Japan .. !!
And when it comes to having nukes dose that make you a super power, well UK and France has nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) as well and so does North Korea and even israel is claimed to have nuclear weapons, is North Korea or UK and France Super powers becouse they have nuclear weapons ???
1. United States: $20.89 trillion
2. China: $14.72 trillion
3. Japan: $5.06 trillion
4. Germany: $3.85 trillion
5. United Kingdom: $2.67 trillion
6. India: $2.66 trillion
7. France: $2.63 trillion
8. Italy: $1.89 trillion
9. Canada: $1.64 trillion
10. South Korea: $1.63 trillion
11. Russia: $1.48 trillion
12. Brazil: $1.44 trillion
13. Australia: $1.32 trillion

MAGA Agent (‘Krasnov’) wants Russia to win because it proves Western weakness, that a strong society is achieved through the strong leadership of wannabe macho daddy Putin and Trump .
But no, despite the absolute insanity of millennials, SJWs and the Left, dictatorships are weaker PRECISELY because of the centralized strong grip on decision making and lack of checks and balances. I used to back Trump cause of my red pill exploration and views, but this guy started praising Pinochet, (Putin ) then you know, there's something about dictators that is appealing to him.
There is no chance that Russia would ever stick to any agreement negotiated in the name of peace.
It ignored the Budapest Memorandum;
the Helsinki Accords; t
he Minsk Agreement;
the principles of the UN,
its obligations under the UN Charter,
its obligations as a permanent member of the UN Security Council, International Law, the Geneva Convention, the Nuremburg Principles, contract law, ....
But NO, the west is NOT weak even despite the absolute insanity of millennials, SJWs and the Left, green policies ect ect THE WEST IS STILL STRONGER than all dictatorships in the world and why stronger then Russia , Putins Russia is weaker than the west PRECISELY because of Putins centralized strong grip on decision making and lack of checks and balances. So the dream of Putin showing the world as an an alternative modal of political system will fail !
THE WEST AND THE US. IS OBLIGATED TO GIVE UKRAINE WEAPONS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances agreement...
Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in exchange for the grantee from the USA and and the United Kingdom that they will protect the Ukrainian nation from invasion...
The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances is a political agreement signed in Budapest, Hungary on 5 December 1994, providing security assurances by its signatories relating to Ukraine's accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons. The Memorandum was originally signed by three nuclear powers, the Russian Federation, the United States of America, and the United Kingdom. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents.
The memorandum included security assurances against threats or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine as well as those of Belarus and Kazakhstan. As a result, Ukraine gave up the world's third largest nuclear weapons stockpile between 1994 and 1996, of which Ukraine had physical though not operational control.[citation needed] The use of the weapons was dependent on Russian-controlled electronic Permissive Action Links and the Russian command and control system
When Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in favor of the United States, the United States was very interested in this agreement and guaranteed Ukraine territorial integrity, as did Russia. But for some reason in 2014, the United States, despite the fact that nuclear weapons were destroyed in favor of the United States, did nothing to make this agreement to work.
US. gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , because Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Why should Ukraine sign another agreement with the United States? In which there are no guarantees again?
Oh yes,11 years after the start of the war, in 2014 the United States began to provide scant assistance to Ukraine, and then they began to demand money from the victims of aggression for aid. At the same time, there was no pressure on the aggressor.
Musk and Trump are always taking about all the poor ppl dying and thats why the war they say must end now .... But now they are saying if you don't give us 50% of your resources we will shut off your internet access to star-link , and they know full well that will disaster for the boys on the ground at the front lines as they will be slaughter in the 10000 of thousand within weeks fighting int he blind and not able to fly their drones !!
WELL THE NEXT TIME YOU HEAR WE JUST WANT THE SENSELESS DEATH OF UKRAINIANS TO STOP ! you know is BS they don't care about Ukrainians death alt all they care that Russian needs a brake becouse they are losing the war !!
Lets see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some of that land has now been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and Czech Republic all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!

@yodieyuh YOU ARE WRONG !!! Commitments to Ukraine in Budapest Memorandum are legally binding
1. Commitments to Ukraine in Budapest Memorandum are legally binding
The significance of the Budapest Memorandum was not in pledging some robust security commitments that Ukraine would not formally have in accordance with the UN Charter or with the 1975 OSCE Helsinki Final Act: not to use or threaten force against sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, and to respect internationally recognized borders.
Countries pledge all these things to each other just by virtue of being members of the UN and signatories to the Helsinki Act. What was significant about the Budapest Memorandum was the timing and the form: it recognized Ukraine’s legitimate security concerns and linked security assurances pledged in the memorandum to its nuclear disarmament and accession to the NPT. The Budapest Memorandum is a part of the broader non-proliferation regime; it’s registered at the UN and attached to Ukraine’s act of accession to the NPT.
It was signed by Ukraine and the three nuclear weapon states, the United States, the United Kingdom, and Russia, depository states of the NPT. And one of those signatories blatantly and brazenly breached its commitments pledged in the Budapest Memorandum—and more importantly, it breached the UN Charter. Thus, all the arguments that the Budapest Memorandum is not legally binding are moot.
The commitments in the Budapest Memorandum are legally binding by other means like the UN Charter, and Russia is part of the UN.
2. International law scholars such hve maintain that the Memorandum is an international treaty and therefore legally binding because it satisfies the criteria for one, as fixed by the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) and is "an international agreement concluded between States in written form and governed by international law.
3. In 2009, United States released a joint statement that the US is still legally bound to the memorandum's security assurances and would still respected their commitment after the expiration of the START Treaty.
4. Based on the ligla frame of The CSCE Final Act) US and all parties of the memorandum must respect the Ukraines independence and sovereignty in the existing borders based on the borders of 1991 in accordance with the principles of the CSCE Final Act.
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!
And here we can clearly see what such guarantees with the west is worth, it has been 8 years now since Russia invaded Ukraine in the east of the country and annexed parts of Ukraine in Crimea AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED so now Russia is going all inn and taking everything THE CAN!!
That is the result of worthless grantees !!
And here's something the WEST is clearly overlooking ; Taiwan , Israel and everyone else is also asking the question; CAN I TRUST THE WEST TO HOLD TO THEIR WORD AND STAND BY THE GUARANTEES THEY GIVE ! and not just Taiwan and Israel, is right now asking themselves those questions, but even small eastern European NATO member states that border Russia, will be asking themselves those questions as well !! IT'S ABOUT TRUST YOU LOSE TRUST YOU LOSE EVERYTHING!!
And her is the real kicker ; Also Iran, North Korea and China will be seeing what is going on and soon they will be thinking the west is weak; And the will be thinking and saying things like, just look what the west did when Russia was calling out their bluff about red lines in Ukraine ... The time is now, we have our chance to stick it to them !!!!
And then we will see China take Taiwan (so no more silicon-chips for you ) and then we will see Iran take Israel (middle east oil all gone and the middles east up in fire ) And when North Korea goes into South no more south Korea as north will take it over as well !!
SO YOUR OPTIONS ARE ,TO TAKE A STAND NOW OR LATER !!
ON A SIDE NOTE ; NO chance that Russia would ever stick to any agreement negotiated in the name of peace.
It ignored
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
9. The 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords
ALSO LETS NOT FORGET Trump and YOU is ignoring
The Ukrainian children Russia has stolen
The fact Russia's violation of the Budapest Memorandum
That Russia's violation of the Minsk agreements
Russia bringing North Korea into the war
Russia bombing civilian cities nightly
Russia is no longer a democracy
That people in Russia have no freedoms
Russians have been killed or imprisoned for speaking out against this war
Russia's invasion of Georgia
Russia's occupation of Moldova
Russia's brutality in Chechnya
Russia's war crimes in Syria

@ Maybe that above was to much for you to take in and understand in one go for your IQ !!! So here is the short short version ..
1. International law scholars such have maintain that the Memorandum is an international treaty and therefore legally binding because it satisfies the criteria for one, as fixed by the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) and is "an international agreement concluded between States in written form and governed by international law.

(in other words saying that the Budapest Memorandum is not legally binding is wrong because it satisfies the criteria for one, as fixed by the 1969 Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties (VCLT) and is "an international agreement concluded between States in written form and governed by international law. )
Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
NOTE ;Commitments to Ukraine in Budapest Memorandum are legally binding
The significance of the Budapest Memorandum was not in pledging some robust security commitments that Ukraine would not formally have in accordance with the UN Charter or with the 1975 OSCE Helsinki Final Act: not to use or threaten force against sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, and to respect internationally recognized borders.

Russia has lost over 880000 troops and over half of its military hardware / equipment and have only 17% of Ukraine land mass so based on those fig Russia simply does not have enough troops and military hardware to take over Ukraine and it will cost even more to hold it !!
Between Assad losing Syria, NATO adding Finland and Sweden, Russia losing tens of thousands of soldiers to a war it wasn't prepared for and thousands of prime skilled workers to emigration, and Russian money is being poured into a fruitless slaughterfest of dead Russians; ending up as fertulrzer on the battlefield and feeding the crows and ravens in east Ukraine ...I don't know how anyone can say Russia is truly "winning" right now even if they do get some more land in Ukraine..
Yes Russia is taking potato fields and a tiny worthless village in east Ukraine, yes if you can see this fruitless slaughterfest that is costing the lives of 1500++ Russian soldiers bleeding out and dying every a day as wining the war then yes you maybe right you got some potato fields and a tiny worthless village BRAVO !! (and then claiming some sort of victory is correct )
However in the meantime , Ukraine is targeting deep into Russian proper ; Ukraine is hitting every day Russian vital economic centers of the Russian economy ; Ukraine is flying its drones with impunity hitting Russias oil refinery, Russias gas and petroleum installations, Russia railways infrastructure, Russias military industrial complex, and Ukraine has been extremely effective with this type of attacks ; and Russias "air defense" attempts to stop Ukraine in attacking their infrastructure that is vital for the functioning of Russia society and its economy has proven impossible for Moscow ...
(ON A SIDE NOTE : A FACT THAT GETS OVERLOOKED IS : Ukraine army and defense is much stronger better equipment and bigger (more trained active soldiers ) now (it has become bigger not smaller over time) its better organized and has more experience more weapons more diverse weaponry more high tech weaponry now than it was back in 2013 and even back in 2022 why stronger not weaker !!
Unlike Russia it has become less equipped and has lower quality human resource
Maybe you can explain to me how a country that can not take east Ukraine for 2 years and lost its black sea navy to a country without a navy ; a country that needs to beg and kissassssss to North Korea for weapons to survive a country that can even defend its own territories in Kursk Oblast a county that is pushing in untrained men into combat because it has no more well trained soldiers left a county that is using Chinese electric golf-carts and Chinese mopeds to attack with because they so low on proper military equipment ! a country that now is so low on combat soldiers that its striping its Murmansk navy personal and forcing sailors to take up infantry fighting roles in a land army .. A country that os low of spare parts for its air force a country that has en economy that is so bad no international banks not even Chinese banks wants to touch them !!!
NOTE : Also Putin is scraping the bottom of the bucket recruiting from African countries and china and North Korea ; Putin is begging North Korea for help and Venezuela for help ALSO LETS NOT FORGET Ukraine has pushed the Russian Army all the why over the river in the south and even made a foothold on the east side of the river !! Ukraine has liberated more territory since the full scale invasion over 2 years ago than Russia has taken (is the outskirts of KYIV under Russian control like it was 2 years ago ?)
Putin is losing 1200 soldiers a DAY if you haven't even taken all cities and villages in the Donbas how can you claim to be a victor hahaahaha
HOW IS THAT COUNTRY (RUSSIA ) GOING TO WIN !!
Maybe if you explain it, I can understand how.
I SAY Russia has humiliated themselves right from the start of this stupidity all the way back in 2014 and Kremlin and Putin has continuously humiliated himself and Russia ever since.
The fact the Kremlin remain in this war, even when they know they cant win, and are willing to destroy themselves just proves how totally clueless they are....adding to their humiliation so Russia is already humiliated and broken .
FACT Russia is already in a worse place than they were before invading their small neighbor, and Russia did this to themselves, the result of their stupidity is that now they have more NATO borders after Finland and Sweden moved towards joining NATO , Putin and Russia is now laughingstock of a military world , and most of their biggest customers of oil and gas are canceling their orders.
I will be amazed if Russia hasn't broken up into smaller states within the next decade or so, this is real end of nations stuff that Putins ego and vanity so-stupidly has thrown Russia into; time will show this as complete idiocy from Putin.
I serious cannot envision Russia humiliating itself any more than it has already done , but that said , Putins ego is a massive chunk of half-witted, simple, ill-considered , unwise shortsighted buffoonery and NOT the wise geo-political chess player some include Putins own ego likes to say and Putin likes to think he is ..
I mean look at Putins strategies so far: recruiting two new Nato members, selling oil at a discount to 3 world countries and giving free tanks and equipment to Ukrainian army because of those tanks running out of fuel and ammunition. YES THE Master strategist Putin. Who’s lost much more than 30% of his armor, who sacrificed innumerable Russian lives in a failed attempt to take Kyiv and Snake Island, who pushed Finland and Sweden into joining NATO, who sunk the flagship of his Navy… yesssss all going according to plan.HAHA !!
TO SUM UP : NATO never had to defend against superior forces I think it is rich for NATO trying to tell Ukraine how to fight a war against Russia, when Ukraine has just a bit more experience actually fighting Russia.Ukrainians should be training British Troops on the latest techniques of war. NATO now actually needs Ukraine to join NATO because no other NATO army knows how to fight with drones. NATO military doctrines are out of date. I fear that increased military spending will be billions on a useless aircraft carrier rather than making millions of FPV assault drones NATO needs Ukraine to show them how to fight a high tech drone war of 2025 +++

Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!!
There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since Word War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would. And its because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. -- Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

History of "PALESTINE STATE "
1, Before the State of Israel , there was a British mandate of what the British map makers called the middle east Palestine included parts of lands area of what we today call , Jordan , Egypt , Lebanon , Syria and Israel with the west bank (Transjordan) and Gaza !!
NOT a Palestinian State !

NOT a Palestinian State !

18.Before The theocracy of twelve jewish tribes of Israel, there was a agglomeration or independent Canaanite city principalities
NOT a Palestinian State !
19 ACTUALLY in this piece of land all through history there has BEEN everything EXCEPT A PALESTINIAN STATE
Why is that you ask ??
Well because there has never been a Palestinian ppl or an idea of Palestinian state, before Arafat proclaimed this mythical state and ppl . and himself as the leader; he did this On 31 December, 1964. Arafat was declared by Nasser to be the "leader of the Palestinian People " and the PLO chairmen to fight to bring a new state of Palestine
Read about Palestine National Charter of 1964
The name "Palestine" was given to that territory by the Romans the territory of Palestine when the Romans took over before the land of the Jews back then it was called Judah and Israel and the Romans named it Palestine to remove the name Judah = jews to wipe out the jewish culture and claims ... and we the west inherited our culture history from the greeks and the romans and therefore the maps that the British made named this area Palestine when they took a mandate over the land (thats way they wrote "The mandate of Palestine" on maps ) and part of that "mandate "was in fact Transjordan it was reference to an area of land NOT a state !! The land area that was called "The British mandate of Palestine" (Palestine for short ) included parts of lands area of what we today call , Jordan , Egypt , Lebanon , Syria and Israel with the west bank (Transjordan) and Gaza !!
Also its called Jerusalem = city of the jews !! (je rus alem )
Israel and Judah has just been from time to time colonized and occupied from time to time in its history that's all and the name of the land has changed many times ; but the state of Israel has come back again and again between occupation every time in history its got back its freedom and never once have the land been totally free form Jewish ppl lived in that land and never once have the Jewish ppl. renounced their right of ownership not for 4000 years not ones !!
Show me a Palestinian ppl in history before 1964 show me a list of Palestinian Kings show me some any Palestinian painting inventions show me a Palestinian archaeological dig out show me a Palestinian language , Palestinian temple she me some ancient Palestinian culture, cities , writings , poems , songs , instruments anything that a culture of ppl will have left after themself in history etc etc etc THERE IS NONE !!
ON A SIDE NOTE : The earliest mention of Israel is inscribed on the Merneptah Stele around 1213–1203 BCE, religious literature tells the story of Israelites going back at least as far as c. 1500 BCE.

The western feminist females have been supporting (for their own anti male agenda) for years this transgender and Lgbtq ++ movement!!! and females have been using the Lgbtq ++ movement as a sledgehammer to hammer down on masculinity and demonize the heterosexual males (and especially white heterosexual males) and they have been doing it for years pushing masculinity into the abyss!!!
But now those strong independent queens, those girl-bosses types of "I don't need a man" , Me woman strong hear my roar ! , Are getting all buhhhh cry baby about this situation, because their own Frankenstein monster is coming back full circle to eat its own promoters that are the female feminists , the Frankenstein monster are taking-over female sports outsmarting females in feminist sphere Their own Frankenstein creation they themselves promoted and helped bring forwarded has now turned on them.
But those strong independent females have for years been more than happy to using the transgender Lgbtq ++ Frankenstein monster, against heterosexual males to demonize heterosexual males; What western females have been calling toxic masculinity (basically means anything male and manly that they dont like ) ...
But now monster they was gladly unleashing unto others have come come full circle , the rooster have come home to roost , and it’s bitting them in their own backside!!! And now they are SOooo upset why NO one is helping them fight this transgender Lgbtq ++ Frankenstein monster the monster they themselves helped to unleash on men !! ... (where are all the white knights in shining armor to defend my innocent maiden honor thy cry ?)
Well you made your bed now you sleep in it honey , after all you are a strong independent women you don't need a man , and anything a man can do a woman can do as good or even better at-least that what you have been saying all this time ..
So now you have the chance to prove it!!
You go girl !!!

I am not american but if i was i will have been a Reagan republican myself , as far as i can see ppl like Tucker Carlsen is not a pro American he is more a pro Russian the same for the YouTube Dr Turley ...
This is what i think !!!
1. Tucker will end up working for his war-criminal wanted for genocide by the ICC The international criminal court mr Putin; Tucker will for sure be working (like he covertly has been ) for RT NEWS kremlins and Putins controlled media outlet !!
Tucker will be whitewashing genocide done by Russia in Ukriane whitewashing Putin and demonizes Ukraine for all its worth to justifyRussia's illegal invasion and annexation of its smaller neighbor...
Trying to defect you from the facts that there is only one aggressor and one victim here and that aggressor is Russia and the victim is Ukriane !!
Give it time and the slot will be back not a prob. Carlson will be forgotten like Bill O Reilly before him , yes its down now becouse the shiny baby rattle toy was taken away and the child is upset , but when the next big shine toy popes up the populace baby will forget all about it and move on with it
2, Turley knows LEAVES OUT facts that don't fit with his narrative and him pushing a rooting for the Kremlin / Russian Orthodox Church agenda !!
You need to understand that so called Dr, Turlry is himself a Russian Orthodox Church flower and Russian Orthodox believer and that is why he is shilling , praises Putin and Russia for pure Russian Orthodox believer religions reasons of self-interest, personal and loyalty to the Russian Orthodox Church and there expansionary agenda ..
You must also take into amount that the Kiyv Pechersk Lavra Church is in Ukriane and that the Russian Orthodox Church wants this historical monuments, within there control something they never will have if Ukriane is not under Kremlin hegemony control so that is also a factor to take into the equation .. (this is why the church help putin and much of putins political base is there )
The Kiyv Pechersk Lavra Church been a preeminent center of Eastern Orthodox Christianity in Eastern Europe since the 1051. Together with the Saint Sophia Cathedral, (also in Kyiv ) it is inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
The religious sites of Kyiv are the equivalent for Orthodox faith believers as the Vatican is for catholics and if those are under control of the Russian Orthodox Church it gives the Russian Orthodox Church and the leaders more power base, legitimacy and therefor also more control and authority over Orthodox faithful and believers ( and also the kremlin legitimacy) as all is hanging together;
And that is WHY OUR FAITHFUL GOOD OTHTERDOX BELIEVER MR TURLY pushing the kremlin agenda and demonizes Ukraine it is highly disingenuous and in-fact unholily and immoral and in the case of The so called good Dr. Mr Turley also hypocritical as he preaches that ppl. should not be countered by other bigger powers and nationalism and self-governance and holding own culture values and believes is the way to go but not so much for UKRIANE

DNA AND ANTHROPOLOGICAL EVIDENCE PROOFS RUSSIANS ARE NOT SLAVIC BUT IN FACT FINNO-UGRIC JUST LIKE THEIR NEIGHBORING FINNISH !!
A recent study has found that haplogroup NO of the Finno-Ugric peoples and their descendants probably spread to today's Russia from Northern China about 12,000–14,000 years ago.
Take a look at the facts about The exonym "Hungarian" comes from "Ugor".in 895 The Magyars/Hungarians belonged to the Onogur tribal alliance, and it is possible that they became its ethnic majority The Hungarian people refer to themselves by the demonym "Magyar" rather than "Hungarian". "Magyar" is Finno-Ugric from the Old Hungarian "mogyër". "Magyar" possibly derived from the name of the most prominent Hungarian tribe, the "Megyer". The tribal name "Megyer" became "Magyar" in reference to the Hungarian people as a whole
Anthropologically, the type of Magyars of the conquest phase shows similarity to that of the Andronovo people, in particular of the Sarmatian groups around the southern Urals. The Turanid (South-Siberian) and the Uralid types from the Europe-Mongoloids were dominant among the conquering Hungarians .. And this is the same as you will find in Russians finish today!!!
According to a 2008 study, the mitochondrial lines of the Hungarians are clearly indistinct from that of neighboring Slavs like Ukrainians and Polish people ..
The Hungarians like the Finish are of the same as Magyars what we today call Hungarian. (Magyar" is Finno-Ugric ) Four 10th century skeletons from well-documented cemeteries in Hungary of ancient Magyar individuals were sampled. Two of the four males belonged to Y-DNA Haplogroup N confirming their Finno-Ugric origin that proves and supports the historical claims that today's Finish and Hungarians come from Turanid (South-Siberian) and lived around what we today call northern and eastern part of Russia ..
The Finno-Ugric peoples are any of several peoples of Eurasia who speak languages of the Finno-Ugric group Karelians, Finns, Udmurts, and Komis. The traditional area of the indigenous Sami people is in Northern Finland and the Kola Peninsula in Northwest Russia and is known as Sápmi. Some other Finno-Ugric peoples have autonomous republics in Russia: Karelians (Republic of Karelia), Komi (Komi Republic), Udmurts (Udmurt Republic), Mari (Mari El Republic), and Mordvins (Moksha and Erzya; Republic of Mordovia).
German anthropologist J. F. Blumenbach compared Finnish, Sami (the Arctic reindeer herders) and Mongolian skulls and concluded that the Finns were ‘Mongoloid’ and not ‘white’ like the Swedes or Finland’s Swedish-speaking aristocracy. This was widely accepted and led to the Turanian theory – that both the Finns and Sami had originally come from the East – as well as strengthening the view, according to Finland-Swede sociologist Nina of Enehjelm, that Finns were somehow ‘other’..
He found that Sami, Estonian, Hungarian were from the same family but so were a series of languages across Siberia such as Komi and Mari. And even languages like Mongolian seemed to have a similar grammatical structure. This led to the ‘Migration Theory,’ the Finno-Ugric peoples arrived in Europe from Mongolia around three thousand years ago and finally got to what today is Finland and the northern part of Russia. The more recent discovery of genetics has added further evidence to the ‘Mongol’ claim. Geneticist Richard Kittles found in 1998 that Finns have ‘Dual Origins’ between Finno-Ugric and Mongoloid as measured by their ‘Y Chromosome Haplotype Variation.’ Other geneticists estimated that Finno-Ugric has between 10 percent and quarter Mongoloid genes..
And in 2003, Slovenian geneticist Andrej Marusic observed that the Finnish and Russian propensity to alcoholism could be explained by the Mongolian ADH22 gene ‘which is common in Eastern peoples but almost unheard of Europe.’
Vladimir Lenin may have had Mordvin ancestry. There is a belief that President Vladimir Putin of Russia is the potential of Finno-Ugric Vepsian ancestry.. failures by Russians to never really get out it backward ways I think you can be assigned to being "too Finish Urgic Mogoliish “ - meaning, primitive, backward, culturally un-European.
When Russians attempt to define their own race and assert that they are European it just comes over as false, and as far as today's scientific research goes, we can now conclude with certainty, Russian are not white Europeans it is a myth !!!
Russians try to claim they are something they are NOT !!
Russians are NOT Western European (Russians have claim to be for a long time it goes back to Peter the great wish to be a European nation ) but it is nothing but a myth a type of fake nationalistic, myopic, backwardness , and unaccepting of objective truth that Russians are in-fact nothing more than dissidents of Finno-Ugric tribes that assimilated with Mongolians back when the land of Moskal ( northern Russia ) was annexed by the Mongolians and made it a part of the Golden Horde…
(unlike the Real Slavic people the Ukrainians and polish people that never assimilated with Mongolian occupiers )
The Russian DNA is evidence that they are not white Europeans.
Testes of today's Russian males DNA have shown that they, like their ethnic brothers the Finnish people, share most of their chromosomes with the Chinese, and Mongolians (the Mongolian chromosomes ) just like the Finnish people do as well !! This has proven without a doubt that Russian is NOT European as they share their DNA with the Mongolians and the study also shows that no other Europeans (with the exception of Finno-Ugric people) share that same chromosome structure with the Mongolians as Russians do !! ..
And why is this you ask ..
Answer… because Russians are Finno-Ugric people that assimilated with Mongolians and NOT white Europeans like Slavic or Germanic people are..
Why is it so vitally important to find this proof you ask?
Answer… It shows a systematic falsification by Russia that started with Peter to falsify its history and links to Europe so Moscow can put down the claim to the Kievan Russia history, cultural and lands !!
What conclusion can we take out of all this data ??
1. Russians are NOT Slavic it is a myth !!
2. Russians are closer genetically linked to Finno-Ugric and Mongolians 3. Slavic people like the Polish and Ukrainians are NOT genetically linked to Finno-Ugric and Mongolians..
4. Russians need to reevaluate their own history and accept the facts that they are nothing genetically to do with Slavic peoples heritage and therefore have no calm to Slavic lands, culture, and history !!
5. The Finno-Ugric/ Mongolians that are today's Moskli Russians have in fact appropriated another ppl.(Ukrainian/ Slavs ) culture, heritage, lands and history and today are like they have done for centuries lying about their own background and history to put down the claim to other ppl. heritage and lands..
6. Ukraine has never really been Russian lands .
Any more than Norway is Swedish or Danish (or Finland is Swedish or Russian ) just because Norway was forcefully taken into a union with Sweden and Denmark ( the same as Finland was with Sweden taken into a union ) and for some time under Swedish and Danish occupation and the rule , does NOT make Norway into Swedish or Danish lands ...
Norway like Ukraine and Finland was just a politically and military occupied nation for some time in its history that's all..
Norway has been from time to time under Swedish and Danish occupation and even some Norwegian cities was built by Swedish and Danish occupier's....
But that doesn't mean that Sweden or Denmark owns Norway or that Norwegians are Swedish or Danish ANY MORE THEN Russia owns Ukraine and Ukrainians are Russians or Sweden owns Finland and the Finnish ppl- are Swedish ....!!!

Standing your ground is only toxic when a man does it. If a woman does it she is a stunning brave and independent female .
So let me break it down gentlemen.
Toxic masculinity is when any man voices an opinion outside the bounds of woke or feminist ideology. Having a preference for thin girls and not land whales, that’s toxic. Stating men and women are different. Cracking a joke, hanging with the guys, watching sports, not simping to women, not paying for a date, wanting sex in a relationship, thinking about yourself as a man. The real kicker here is all these women love the bad boys, they crave them, and female erotica is crammed full of toxic masculinity and these girls get off on it.
The trend is all those "ladies" in their younger years are all after that top 5-10% " THE CHADS" and the rest of the good guys are all getting friend zoned or ignored. By the time the "ladies" figure out they've lost all their value and use for the "CHADS", then they fall back on those they ignored or zoned. Funny that more and more of those zoned or ignored average guys are figuring out that those they once chased are no longer worth the time; The kings (MEN) have worked on themselves and increased their value (MENS VALUE GOES UP AS THEY GET OLDER) , while the aging queens are let alone to sit in their towers of solitude. Sure, they'll get a visit from a jester chad now and then, (the jester will never marry them becouse they are no marriage material, ) but otherwise, they wallow in their ivory towers alone and frustrated, blaming everyone but themselves for their choices.
IN SHORT Toxic masculinity can be explained /define as : That the masculine is male stoicism, that is standing on its path (mental toughness, common sense, logic and cutthroat pragmatizam ) and male stoicism does not kowtow to women and their "feelings", just because they are a womens feelings / wants; Male stoicism in (contrast to feminism )dose NOT believe that a man should value and praise a woman just because she is a women !!
AND FEMINISTS HATE THAT !!
What women actually want when they want "equality" is :
- The societal rights “privilege” of men
-The authority of a man
-The societal rights “privilege” of women
- The responsibility of neither a man or a woman
-The freedom of a wild animal
- The accountability of a child (preferably a baby girl child)
- The just want the best of both worlds, worst of none
The women’s movement can be summed up as women demanding to keep the societal rights of women while also claiming the societal rights of men and maintaining the accountability and responsibility of children.” —Kevin Everett FitzMaurice

user-kn5ps5hk1j What women actually want when they say equality is :
- The “privilege” of men
- The “privilege” of women
- The responsibility of neither a man or a woman
- The accountability of children "" (preferably the accountability of a little girl child)
Gentlemen are only obligated to help and assist LADIES , NOT independent feminist that say they don’t need a gentlemen/ man becouse men are toxic ..
“The feminist of today have grown accustomed to privilege and rights equal to a man, so now when a man says I will not help you because we are equal then this equality feels like oppression to the feminist and not like the “equality” they say they want !
The western feminist females have been supporting (for their own anti male agenda) for years this transgender and Lgbtq ++ movement!!! and females have been using the Lgbtq ++ movement as a sledgehammer to hammer down on masculinity and demonize the heterosexual males (and especially white heterosexual males) and they have been doing it for years pushing masculinity into the abyss!!!
But now those strong independent queens, those girl-bosses types of "I don't need a man" , Me woman strong hear my roar ! , Are getting all buhhhh cry baby about this situation, because their own Frankenstein monster is coming back full circle to eat its own promoters that are the female feminists , the Frankenstein monster are taking-over female sports outsmarting females in feminist sphere Their own Frankenstein creation they themselves promoted and helped bring forwarded has now turned on them.
Now monster they was gladly unleashing unto others have come come full circle , the rooster have come home to roost , and it’s bitting them in their own backside!!! And now they are SOooo upset why NO one is helping them fight this transgender Lgbtq ++ Frankenstein monster the monster they themselves helped to unleash on men !! ... (where are all the white knights in shining armor to defend my innocent maiden honor thy cry ?)
Well you made your bed now you sleep in it honey , after all you are a strong independent women you don't need a man , and anything a man can do a woman can do as good or even better at-least that what you have been saying all this time ..
So now you have the chance to prove it!!

Putin did not begin the undercover proxy-war in 2014 so that it would end in peace, independency and prosperity for Ukraine and its people. and he did not start a all out war in 2022 for the independency and prosperity for Ukraine and its people
This war does not hinder Putin, it facilitates his goals instead.
Putin started it so it would end with the defeat of Ukraine and the Ukrainian peoples/ nations aspirations of true self-government true independence and democratic nation, that was fare away from the hegemony control and orbit of Russia … IN OTHER words with our collapse of Ukrainian society.
It helps him keep Ukraine on the Kremlin hook and hegemony control and helps Putin feel himself as an influential leader negotiating with the West. So, why would he need peace?
And before someone starts up about Russia right to protect itself from the "western incursion and decadent western incorrectness of political arrogance" (whatever that means ) and therefor Russian needs a "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine "
Let me ask you this ; Who gives Putin the right to have "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine " we live in 2022 not 1822 ??? What about the people who live in "that so called sphere of interest" that is the sovereign country of Ukriane don't they (the Ukrainian ppl.) have an " sphere of interest in Ukriane itself " ?
Shall the Ukrainians just bend their knee and behave as slaves, and become some sort of quasi 2nd class nation/ country, and have their society run under the heal and accept being kicked by Kremlin's boot of the " sphere of Russian interest " ; Should Ukriane just roll over and let Russia controlled Ukriane for the sole benefit of Putins klan agenda and the geo political intrs. of the Moscow Kremlin kleptocracy elites?: And let Ukraine become some sort of quasi geographical entity for political advantages of the Kremlin ? Or should Ukriane stand up and fight against such tyrannical thing as PUTINS "sphere of interest" as the independent European self governing state it is FIGHT for freedom, sovereignty and self-rule ??
FACT !!! Ukriane was forced into this war by Russia not Russia by Ukriane (or anyone else ) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has no choice he needs to now be the president of a country, that is in a war defending its country and ppl. against a brutal evilaggressor. And the authorities of the aggressor country do not want any peace.
(If the Russia army stops fighting today and goes home back to Russia tomorrow there will be NO war If Ukraine stops fighting today there will be NO Ukraine !! )
Russians doesn't want to be a part of the western democracy thats fine Ukriane does that is not the same as Ukriane wants to be lgbtq++++ woke senter infact when it comes to those sort of things Ukriane is more like Russia than even Hungary or Poland is Ukrainian society has nothing good to say about marximen or wokeisem or Russian imperialism they among Ukraine's stand absolutely equal and are seen with the disdain, loathing and contempt !!!
But like I say if Russia has no intrs. and they feel Russia society values and norms living is so much better than the despicable arrogant western world, just stay in Russia stop living inside the west stop buying houses , sending your kids to western schools for a western education and holidays to the western world and stop using western products and technology no prob you go do you; you go be Russia no one is stopping you !!
Why not try and stop emulating the west will at the same time rejecting the west and then on top of it claiming to be its equal .. here is a thought if you are the emulating the west you are a copy and a copy is just hard core evidence that the original is the better !! If your Russki Mir (Russian World ideology /society ) was better then the western world; why do you not 100% just stick to being Russian why are you emulating everything that is western !! The answer is clear becouse its better then your Russki Mir !!
Ukriane, Georgia , Moldova the Baltic's and the rest of Eastern Europe don't want your Russian world (KGB Putin Stalinism strong man BS ) they want western democracy freedom and choice so let them make their own future there own mistakes and there own success those ppl. countries and nations don't want your Moscow /Kremlin HEGEMONY called Russki Mir or your so called Russian greatness of special rights of so called 3rd Rome !!
Let's take a look at Ukriane and the same goes for Georgia and other countries that Moscow wants to bully and kick around !!
Ukraine is a sovereign nation with rights and should be free to govern itself. Russia as a political entity has never had the best interest of the Ukraine and its people at heart. The Ukrainians have a distinct and rich culture, their own language, and a desire for self-rule, liberty and freedom to make decisions of its own.
Russia wants to control Ukraine so it can obtain its resources for its own benefit (as has happened throughout history). Ukraine in its east and south has in-fact the 3rd biggest oil and gas reservers in Europe and should those resources start getting taped and sold to the west then Russia has a massive competitor on its hands for the European market !! You don't believe me google Ukraine shield gas reserves !!
Russian control has never been for the benefit of the Ukrainian people. BUT HERE"S THE REAL POINT: even if it had been, Ukraine is still a sovereign nation and has the right to rule itself!!!
The Russian state has sought to control Ukraine and to deceive the rest of the world into believing that there is no Ukrainian culture or language, and that Ukraine is simply a dissident Russian state through use of propaganda and oppression has repeatedly attempted to wipe out the Ukrainian people and culture.
Do I need to mention the millions of Ukrainians killed by the Russian government? The fear and repression of Ukraine under Russian rule? The families lost behind the "Iron Curtain?"
The Holodomor genocide when Russia killed 10 mill Ukrainians in 1933 - 1934 and after that replaced then with ethnic Russians manly in the east of Ukraine (todays Donbas ) for crying out loud?
And that is why after 1991 the Ukrainians rally around their rich and beautiful culture - because it is THEIRS. And because they deserve a voice of their own, and to live free from the oppression of of foreign state that seeks to exploit and obliterate them!
Russian controlled soviet union former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect ...couldn't wait to join NATO and the EU to get as fare away from Russian hegemony control as fast as the possibly can at the time .
If the Russians weren't suchaaaaholes, they wouldn't have to worry about EU NATO and former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect running too the front door of EU and NATO .
(PS : yes i agree not all is perfect in the west but is why better and has always been why better than anything Russia has come up with in history ; And that is why ppl from all over the world (including Russians ) move to Europe ,UK and US in the millions !! ; For all its faults that the western world has and it has a few, it still is 10000 times better than Russia , Africa or china !!! I mean no one is building a wall to hold ppl. inside like Russian controlled Soviet Union did the US is in fact building walls to stop ppl. for coming inn and so dose European countries as well )

THE MYTH OF RUSSIA IS A SUPERPOWER ON THE WORLD STAGE DEBUNKED !
For centuries, Russia has seen itself as one of the world's great powers.
This superpower Russia status idea myth, seen by most of the world is now become a declining idea and the world is now seeing that Russia is not and has never been any super power; More and more ppl. now understand that Russia has only been masquerading as a "SUPER POWER " the Kremlin has been presenting itself as one and hiding behind the Myth of super power status; And even for some time the kremlin themself (one can argue) started to believe in their own lies, their own myth making and their own propaganda !
BUT AFTER UKRIANE THIS MYTH IS BUSTED !!
Russia: has only $1.48 trillion annual GDP that makes Russia about the same size economically on the level of Spain if your economy is as small as Spain how can you think even for one min you are some sort of super power, that has some spacial right to be seen on the same level as UK, US , or even China ???
Let's look at some fact here: Russia is closer to Indonesia and Australia economically, than it is UK , Germany , France US or Japan .. !!
And when it comes to having nukes dose that make you a super power, well UK and France has nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) as well and so does North Korea and even israel is claimed to have nuclear weapons, is North Korea or UK and France Super powers becouse they have nuclear weapons ???
1. United States: $20.89 trillion
2. China: $14.72 trillion
3. Japan: $5.06 trillion
4. Germany: $3.85 trillion
5. United Kingdom: $2.67 trillion
6. India: $2.66 trillion
7. France: $2.63 trillion
8. Italy: $1.89 trillion
9. Canada: $1.64 trillion
10. South Korea: $1.63 trillion
11. Russia: $1.48 trillion

13. Australia: $1.32 trillion
14. Spain: $1.28 trillion

It might be useful to recap some of the reason why Russia is now an outcast :
Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade; Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU;
Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries;
Provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace;
Russia's interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia;
Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers;
Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory;
Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region;
Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation";
Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict;
Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people;
Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006;
Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018;
among lots of other things to much to even list up ..
NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.

WHY TRUMPS AMERICA IS NOW HYPOCRITICAL !
1. I want to ask Americans : Did America ever pay back France for supporting us during the Revolutionary War ???? Nope !! Good example for the world !
2. When Denmark sold the West Indies (FACT, purchase the US Virgin Islands from Denmark.) to the United States in 1917, the agreement included a clause that obliged the United States to refrain from making territorial claims to Greenland. It would therefore be a breach of a previous agreement if Trump makes good on his threats to use economic or military force to gain control of Greenland.
3. US. gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , because Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
4. When America was attacked on September the 11 2001 and The World Trade Center was crumbling ever European Country helped America ; when you went into IRAQ and Afghanistan every European Country was with you sending their boys to day side by side with US troops !!!
In fact every war that the US has been involved in since the 2nd world war be it Korea, Vietnam , etc etc EUROPEAN AND NATO trops have been there for you every step of the way !!! SO WHO IS BEING ENTAILED HERE !! ..
ON A SIDE NOTE ; Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, several countries began military operations against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Afghanistan.
UKRAINE WAS ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES Ukraine was with the US. for 11 years side by side back to back with US forces !!!!
Ukraine allowed use of its airspace and airbases to the US and its allies, but only for cargo flights. Ukraine was a participant in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan and deployed troops as part of NATO's ISAF mission to the country. It contributed medical personnel supporting Provincial Reconstruction Teams, and provided instructors for NATO's Training Mission. After ISAF's mission ended in 2014, Ukraine supported the follow-on Resolute Support Mission (2015-2021) that trained, advised and assisted Afghan security forces

TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda and so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukriane Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries where nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..
Also these people who advocate this view that Ukriane shroud just give up land and appeasement to Russians wants wishes are also being very ignorant to the fact that there were already treaties in place between Russia and Ukraine where Russia respecting the integrity of Ukraine's borders plus other treaties relating to the seas around Ukraine.
Putin has already broken those treaties.
Why would Ukraine believe Putin would stick to a new treaty when he's just broken half a dozen of the previous Russia Ukraine treaties and agreements.
Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.

@ipc8255 Claim: NATO refuses real dialogue with Russia
Fact: NATO suspended practical cooperation with Russia due to its aggressive actions in Ukraine. However, we continue to keep channels for political dialogue open. The NATO-Russia Council, an important platform for dialogue, has never been suspended. We have held six meetings since April 2016.
NATO has made progress this year, by addressing both force posture and military exercises, including through reciprocal briefings. This dialogue contributes to the predictability of our relations. We would welcome more briefings and transparency, particularly on upcoming military exercises.
NATO and Russia also maintain open military-to-military lines of communication, which aim to promote predictability and transparency in our military activities. We welcome the recent contacts between the Chairman of the Military Committee, General Petr Pavel; the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Curtis Scaparrotti, and the Russian Chief of Defence, General Valery Gerasimov.
Claim: NATO enlargement threatens Russia
Fact: Every country that joins NATO undertakes to uphold its principles and policies. This includes the commitment that "the Alliance does not seek confrontation and poses no threat to Russia," as reaffirmed at the Warsaw Summit. NATO enlargement is not directed against Russia.
Every sovereign nation has the right to choose its own security arrangements. This is a fundamental principle of European security, one that Russia has also subscribed to and should respect. NATO's Open Door policy has been a historic success. Together with EU enlargement, it has spread stability and prosperity in Europe since the fall of the Berlin Wall
Claim: Russia has the right to demand a "100% guarantee" that Ukraine will not join NATO
Fact: According to Article I of the Helsinki Final Act which established the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in 1975, every country has the right "to belong or not to belong to international organizations, to be or not to be a party to bilateral or multilateral treaties including the right to be or not to be a party to treaties of alliance." All the OSCE member states, including Russia, have sworn to uphold those principles.
In line with those principles, Ukraine has the right to choose for itself whether it joins any treaty of alliance, including NATO's founding treaty.
Moreover, when Russia signed the Founding Act, it pledged to uphold "respect for sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all states and their inherent right to choose the means to ensure their own security". Thus Ukraine has the right to choose its own alliances, and Russia has, by its own repeated agreement, no right to dictate that choice.
Claim: NATO provoked the "Maidan" protests in Ukraine
Fact: The demonstrations which began in Kiev in November 2013 were born out of Ukrainians' desire for a closer relationship with the European Union, and their frustration when former President Yanukovych halted progress toward that goal as a result of Russian pressure.
The protesters' demands included constitutional reform, a stronger role for the parliament, the formation of a government of national unity, an end to the pervasive and endemic corruption, early presidential elections and an end to violence. There was no mention of NATO.
Ukraine began discussing the idea of abandoning its non-bloc status in September 2014, six months after the illegal and illegitimate Russian "annexation" of Crimea and the start of Russia's aggressive actions in Eastern Ukraine. The final decision by Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada to abandon the non bloc status was taken in December 2014, over a year after the pro-EU demonstrations began.

SO ALL YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS IS WHO BENEFITS AND HOW THEY BENEFIT !! AND YES RUSSIAN AND ONLY RUSSIA BENEFITS HERE BIG TIME !!
What Russia Hopes to Gain From the Israel-Hamas Conflict !!!
the relationship between Russia and Israel has cooled following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, even if Israel has remained more reluctant to support Ukraine than its Western allies would have liked.
Even so, it came as a shock to many in Israel to see a group of high-ranking Hamas members meeting with a senior Russian official on Oct. 26. The Israeli Foreign Ministry slammed the decision to invite Hamas members to Moscow as “an act in support of terrorism” and called for Russia to expel the Hamas delegation.
In the wake of the meetings, Hamas has announced that it is looking for eight hostages in Gaza that Russia has asked to be released, “because we look at Russia as our closest friend,” Hamas Politburo member Abu Marzouk said on Oct. 28.
Palestinian militants have reportedly gotten around Western sanctions by funneling millions through Russian cryptocurrency exchanges.
Russia has notably not condemned Hamas’s attacks on Oct. 7 as terrorism. Instead, Russian officials have called for both sides to put down arms and reaffirmed its support for a Palestinian state. At the United Nations Security Council, a Russian resolution that called for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages was voted down as it failed to condemn Hamas.
Mossad has come out and said there is now evidence that Russians supplied the Palestinian militant group Hamas with western infantry armaments that they seized in Ukraine, . There is evidence that Russia was involved in instigating Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks and supplied weapons used.
In speeches and public appearances, Russian officials have repeatedly criticized Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Oct. 28 that Israel’s bombardment of Gaza is against international law. Putin compared Israel’s blockade of Gaza to Nazi Germany’s siege of Leningrad during World War II, one of the most traumatic events in Russian history during which hundreds of thousands of Russian civilians died.
Others in Russia have gone further, arguing that it is time for Russia to reassess its relationship with Israel. “Whose ally is Israel? The United States of America,” Andrei Gurulev, State Duma deputy and member of its Defense Committee, wrote on Telegram. “Whose ally is Iran and its surrounding Muslim world? Ours.”
And now that the Serbs (baked up by russia ) is seeing how weak the west is responding to Russia regarding Ukraine so now they see there chance to continue with their idea of greater Serbia !!
If the west does not stand up for Ukraine all the other dictators and Pariah states will see that the west and the US has gone soft and try and pull a Putin tick themselves !! China will see an opportunity to take Taiwan (no more silicon chips for you , Iran will see its time as good to take Israel (and them the middle east will be up in flames ) North Korea will most likely together with China role into South Korea and that's just for starters SO TAKING A STAND AND STOPPING PUTIN IS VITAL !!
We see how the same tactics get used over and over !!
In 1938 Hitler invaded Czechoslovakia and the western response was weak the UK just like France now is doing with Russia over Ukriane , and what happened in 1939 Germany invaded Poland and 1939 and started ww2
Also in 1939, the Russia attacked Finland, seized part of its territory, proclaimed the puppet state of the Finnish Democratic Republic on this territory basically a Russian puppet state .
In 2014, Russia attacked Ukraine annexing the Crimean peninsula and seizing part of the territory of Donbass in eastern Ukraine. In the occupied territories of the Donbass, people's republics were proclaimed the same as in the occupied territory of Finland in 1939

So you're telling me that JD Vance gave a fiery speech thrashing entire Europe over the lack of democracy and freedom of speech two days after the White House revoked the Associated Press’ accreditation for failing to obey and use “Gulf of America” in their reporting?
JD Vance is actually right -- Russia is not the biggest threat to Europe.
What's even bigger as a threat is irresponsible and infantile demagogues like JD himself, running for quick and easy-peasy solutions to matters of war and peace.
Lets see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
Ukraine should just give Putin what he want Vance says its just a small part of Ukraine his says so whats the problem we need pace !!!
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...

What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is almost 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukraine Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries were nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..
Also these people who advocate this view that Ukraine shroud just give up land and appeasement to Russians wants wishes are also being very ignorant to the fact that there were already treaties in place between Russia and Ukraine where Russia respecting the integrity of Ukraine's borders plus other treaties relating to the seas around Ukraine.
Putin has already broken those treaties.
Why would Ukraine believe Putin would stick to a new treaty when he's just broken half a dozen of the previous Russia Ukraine treaties and agreements.
Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.

RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination like a type of 2nd class country; that is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country, that indirectly will serving the kremlins geopolitical agenda, and so Kremlin, the RuZZians and Putin can feel better about themselves ...
All the Eastern European countries has more or less joined NATO because they was scared of Russia and want make sure they will stay independent, (and the same goes for the EU financial independence ) Nobody forced Eastern European countries to join , NATO or the EU all of them came running and begging and knocking on the door of NATO and EU by themselves, asking and begging to be let into The EU and NATO !!
Russia invading Ukraine back 2014 and Georgia back in 2008 and now all out war with Ukraine from 2022++ just showed, why it was and still is a good idea for those Eastern European countries to join NATO, and the EU because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well .
During Soviet times those Eastern countries were nothing but quasi Russia puppet states and were totally exploited by Russia under its heel and boot. If those eastern European countries didn't join NATO then they couldn't have guaranteed their own future continuous independence from Russia by themselves . Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure their independence !!!
The former satellite states like Poland,Romania,Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect was running to and knocking at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come inn and thats the truth !! . If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..

More evidence that Russians are linked top Finno-Ugric / Mongolians and not Slavic people like Ukrainians and Polish ..
1. Lets look at the city of Perm its Location is in Krai Russia Perm is a city and the administrative centerof Perm Krai, Russia, located on the banks of the Kama River near the Ural Mountains.
The name Perm is of Finno-Ugric etymology, likely of Uralic origin (Komi-Permyak: Перем, Perem; Komi: Перым, Perym). Komi is a member of the Permic group of Finno-Ugric languages, which is also named for Perm. In Finnish and Vepsian perämaa means "far-away land"; similarly, in Hungarian perem means "edge" or "verge". The geologic period of the Permian takes its name from the toponym.
Perm is located in the old Perman area, which was originally inhabited by Finno-Ugric peoples. Perm was first mentioned as the village of Yagoshikha (Ягошиха) in 1647; however, the history of the modern city of Perm starts with the development of the Ural region by Tsar Peter the Great. Vasily Tatishchev, appointed by the Tsar as a chief manager of Ural factories, founded Perm together with another major center of the Ural region, Yekaterinburg.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perm
More DNA evidence
2. Mongolian man talking about Finnish DNA and Mongolian DNA Finnish DNA and Finland (Suomi) Finnish DNA and Finland (Suomi), Suomi and Saami, Uralic Language, Finno Ugric Group of Languages, Haplogroups in Finland: N1C -59%, I1A - 28%, R1A - 5%, R1B - 3.5%. Finnish - 80% Northeastern Karelian and 10% Siberian? N1C is not dispersed, but concentrated in Finland and Baltic. 1/3 Finnish words (lexicon) are authentic Finnish words, and unrelated to other languages. Unique. Origin of Finns is mysterious.
Connection to Uralic peoples? My Nganasan DNA connection?

In creating their nation, Ukrainians need to examine and analyze their own history, based on truth, verified facts and historical events. For centuries under the rule of conquerors, Ukrainians were basically deprived of the opportunity to influence the formation of national awareness and the development of their history

KARL MARX ....... "Russia, which has nothing to do with Kivan Russ, now called Russia, received, or rather stole its current name, at best in the 18th century, nevertheless - brazenly claims to the historical legacy of Kievan Russ, that was created eight hundred years earlier. Moscow history is the history of the Horde, sewn to the history of Russia with white threads and completely falsified. ”(Karl Marx, Exposing the Diplomatic History of the 18th Century) ..
HER YOU SAY MARX SAYS MOSCVOY (today's Russia) IS THE DECEDENTS OF MONGOLIANS AND THAT KYIV (today Ukraine ) IS THE DESCENDANTS OF SLAVIC KYIV RUSS.
" The bloody mire of Mongolian slavery, not the rude glory of the Norman epoch, forms the cradle of Muscovy, and modern Russia is but a metamorphosis of Muscovy..

What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukriane anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass over 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and most of England
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the should Ukraine give up all that land for what to be invaded only some years later !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda and so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...

Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.
On a side note ; Moscow is ONLY 480 km to Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg and via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BS there is 800 km from Kyiv to Moscow ..

@danielmiller3781 For centuries, Russia has seen itself as one of the world's great powers.
This superpower Russia status idea myth, seen by most of the world is now become a declining idea and the world is now seeing that Russia is not and has never been any super power; More and more ppl. now understand that Russia has only been masquerading as a "SUPER POWER " the Kremlin has been presenting itself as one and hiding behind the Myth of super power status; And even for some time the kremlin themself (one can argue) started to believe in their own lies, their own myth making and their own propaganda !
BUT AFTER UKRAINE THIS MYTH IS BUSTED !!
Russia: has only $1.48 trillion annual GDP that makes Russia about the same size economically on the level of Spain if your economy is as small as Spain how can you think even for one min you are some sort of super power, that has some spacial right to be seen on the same level as UK, US , or even China ???
Let's look at some fact here: Russia is closer to Indonesia and Australia economically, than it is UK , Germany , France US or Japan .. !!
And when it comes to having nukes dose that make you a super power, well UK and France has nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) as well and so does North Korea and even israel is claimed to have nuclear weapons, is North Korea or UK and France Super powers becouse they have nuclear weapons ???
1. United States: $20.89 trillion
2. China: $14.72 trillion
3. Japan: $5.06 trillion
4. Germany: $3.85 trillion
5. United Kingdom: $2.67 trillion
6. India: $2.66 trillion
7. France: $2.63 trillion
8. Italy: $1.89 trillion
9. Canada: $1.64 trillion
10. South Korea: $1.63 trillion
11. Russia: $1.48 trillion
12. Brazil: $1.44 trillion
13. Australia: $1.32 trillion
14. Spain: $1.28 trillion
15. Indonesia: $1.05 trillion

@danielmiller3781 Russia is a joke and will always be a joke, Russians have nothing at all to be proud of Stalins USSR and today's Putin's Russia was and are totalitarian states..
Putin is appealing to the most basic of instincts, fears and insecurities in Russians. Many Russians harbor insecurities related to loss of the evil empire that was the USSR, and with that Russians idea of being / having superpower status..
Lets be honest, the Soviet Union 1922–1991 only was in word history for 69 years not much of a superpower if you only can claim 69 years in history, before you was wiped out of existence ...69 years my grandmother Bessy is older than that LOL
Or what am i not right ?????
USSR can only claim 69 years it started in 1922 and was dissolved in 1991 ....
Russians USSR a super power don't make me laugh....it was nothing more and RuSSia today still is nothing more then a evil state run by evil little people that just has some nukes under their control.. and as the cowards they are wave around themself's this weapons and shout about them to make themselves look big..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union
Russians have nothing at all to be proud of Stalin the USSR and today's Putin's Russia are and was all totalitarian states..
RuSSia and the Soviet Union was NO better then Hitlers Germany, Pol Potts Cambodia, Idi Amins Uganda, Francos Spain, Mussolini’s Italia, Gaddafi's Libya, Kim Jong-un North Korea and/ or Putins good friend Bashar Al-Assads Syria

@danielmiller3781 Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!!
There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since Word War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would. And it’s because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. -- Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

Claim: NATO promised Russia it would not expand after the Cold War
Fact: NATO Allies take decisions by consensus and these are recorded. There is no record of any such decision having been taken by NATO. Personal assurances from individual leaders cannot replace Alliance consensus and do not constitute formal NATO agreement.
NATO's "Open Door Policy" is based on Article 10 of the Alliance's founding document, the North Atlantic Treaty (1949). The Treaty states that NATO membership is open to any "European state in a position to further the principles of this Treaty and to contribute to the security of the North Atlantic area". It states that any decision on enlargement must be made "by unanimous agreement". NATO has never revoked Article 10, nor limited the potential for enlargement. Over the past 65 years, 29 countries have chosen freely, and in accordance with their domestic democratic processes, to join NATO. This is their sovereign choice.
In addition, at the time of the alleged promise, the Warsaw Pact still existed.
Its members did not agree on its dissolution until 1991.
The idea of their accession to NATO was not on the agenda in 1989.
This myth was even confirmed that is was BS not true never happened by Mikhail Gorbachev himself in an interview with Russia called "Beyond the Headlines" he said that this kremlin claim about the so called promised to Russia that NATO would not expand after the Cold War was BS !! (JUST GOOGLE ; " Mikhail Gorbachev "Beyond the Headlines" AND READ IT YOURSELF )
Mikhail Gorbachev himself SAID : "The topic of 'NATO expansion' was not discussed at all, and it wasn't brought up in those years. I say this with full responsibility. Not a single Eastern European country raised the issue, not even after the Warsaw Pact ceased to exist in 1991. Western leaders didn't bring it up, either."
Also on a side note : if there was a such agreement (and there was not ) the agreement will have been with the USSR and the USSR as a country and legal entity no longer excites any more it is only in the history books and therefor all legally binding verbal or otherwise contract with the USSR is no longer valid and has no legal standing !!

UKRIANE NATIONALIST WAS NEVER NAZIS and neither was Bandera their leader was not personally part of the genocide the evidence clearly shows that Bandera had nothing to do with it ... BANDERA WAS a prisoner (POW) of war when the massacre in Volhynia happened..so how is Bandera responsible ????
The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists under the leadership of Stepan Bandera decided to fight against the Hitler after they was arrested in 1941.
Now that is NOT much collaboration now is it.... AND THAT IS WHY Stepan Bandera was arrested by the GERMANS and sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp because Bandera was not collaborating with the nazis it is a Myth and propaganda used by Moscow and some times the anti Ukraine elements inside Poland to direct Ukrainian independence..
The German high command in Ukraine sent a memo saying that all functionaries of the Bandera Movement must be arrested at once and, after thorough interrogation, are to be liquidated...".
On July 5, Bandera was arrested and transferred to Berlin.
On July 12, the president of the newly formed Ukrainian state, Yaroslav Stetsko, was also arrested and taken to Berlin. In January 1942,
Bandera was transferred to Sachsenhausen concentration camp's special barrack for high-profile political prisoners Zellenbau
Bandera was in a German KZ camp Sachsenhausen concentration camp from 1941-1944
NOW if you are sent to a KZ camp YOU ARE NOT a friend of Hitler are you AND IF YOU ARE inn a concentration camp from 1941 to the end of 1944 YOU can not be held responsible for the Volhynia massacre that happened in 1943 !!!!
AND LETS US ALSO NOT FORGET THAT MORE AND MORE new evidence is coming to light saying that it was NKVD dressed up as UPA /OUN that did the massacre in Volhynia in 1943.. But this is still not 100% proven yet,,,,

GIVING A SURRENDER IS NOT A PEACE DEAL ITS A SHAKE DOWN !!!! Anyone can make a peace deal when they surrender, which is what Trump is asking Ukraine to do.
Trump and his admin appear to be Putin's lifeline.
Its obvious what happened. A US president tried to shake down a foreign leader for mineral rights in Ukraine. The USA has abandoned its leadership role in the world and is now just for sale. The Republicans have lost their minds and perhaps their souls. Siding with Russia.
JD Vance talks about Zelensky being disrespectful and then points his finger and raises his voice TAKING talking down to Zelensky like he was som sort of child talking this way at a President of a sovereign state who is a visitor in the White House; coming to give 50% of his county natural resources and a deal that is more like a shake down than anything else after VANCE AND TRUNP has call him a dictator and never said any bad word other the praise for Putin .
I did not see Zelenskyy raising his voice. I did not see any arrogance. I saw him attempting to explain that a cease fire without guarantees would not work. He could not get a word in. The tirade of obscene fury from Trump and Vance left no room for a discussion of the issues. Trump, of course, continued lying.
Does the orange man and Vance talk to Mr Putin like that.. just 2 cowards the orange man and the VP.. that clearly are wanting to kiss up to Putin for sure they have some backhand deal going on with the Kremlin ; this was staged ; question sense when does the VP every come and seat down and talk in a press meeting when to head of states are meeting the press before a conference ?? This here was an coordinated attack to make out like Zelenskyy is an unreasonable person that wants war and that Putin and Trump are the peace loving parties
In order to make peace he has to give up his country's most resourceful land.
He's a proud Ukrainian, who is tired of his people being pushed around by the Russians. Now the U.S. is trying to get their hands on the minerals.
I think when the USA have secret talks with Russia, then propose a deal that gives Russia land and The USA mineral wealth and potentially removes Zelenskyy i from office (allowing Russian puppet government or weak government) with no security guarantees offered other than Putin supposedly respecting Trump, especially when he knows that that Putin is a proven liar that breaks treaties at will, when his host in the oval office has called him a dictator and accused him of starting the war....... l think that that's gonna make Zelenskyy in a bad mood from the start.
This looks like Afghanistan again, America get involved, fund and encourage a side then leave them with their pants down.
Let's see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
The pro PUTIN BOOT LICKERSthat are putins but boys Trump and JD saying Ukraine has to give up on wanting its land back give up on wanting the Black sea back give up on wanting the Azov sea back give up on wanting its cities back its people ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass Russia wants so give it up ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..
FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5:
1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression.
2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility.
3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

And before someone comes with the Cuba nukes back in the 60s argument let me tell you this it was back in the cold war a drf. time all together and The main difference is that Castro invited Russia with their missiles to Cuba while Ukraine’s young democracy is trying to protect itself from Putin’s dictatorship!
Russia has broken the deployment agreement (Strategic Offensive Reductions Treaty
and the New START (Strategic Arms Reduction Treaty of 2010) that had with NATO and the USA when Russia deploys nuclear-capable missile system in Kaliningrad back in 2018 !!! LOOK UP Russia's deployment of nuclear-capable missiles to its Kaliningrad exclave is setting off warning bells in the Baltics and at Nato.
Kaliningrad BORDERS Poland and Lithuania (both NATO ) so who put Nuks on the NATO/ Russian borders first Mr Putin ???
Moscow’s unwillingness to cooperate in the Kaliningrad exclave wedged between Lithuania and Poland,
* Koenigsberg, as the city of Kaliningrad was once known, was founded by Teutonic knights in the 13th Century. It was once the capital of Prussia
* Annexed by Russia from Germany after WWII. Germans fled or were expelled
* It is more than 300km away from Russia, which can only be reached through an EU country
* It houses the Russian Baltic Fleet and is the country's only ice-free European port
* The philosopher Immanuel Kant spent all his life in the city and died there in 1804
Russia's deployment of the Iskander NUKES serves multiple strategic purposes beyond the purely military. It is intended to remind the Western public - and particularly those in the Baltic republics (Lithuania Estonia , Latvia ) - of the nuclear stakes in facing up to Moscow.
It is part of the signaling in a wider information war between Russia is running towards the west , where Moscow seeks to divide the Atlantic alliance and to secure for itself the ability to do as it pleases in what it sees as its near-abroad aka hegemony states so Moscow can exploit those states for its own agenda and resorses . Thus Russian-backed forces control parts of Georgia; Russia has annexed Crimea and backs pro-Russian militias in eastern Ukraine.
The problem for Nato is that the Baltic republics, whilst once Soviet territory, are now firmly within the Western camp. It has to draw clear lines to confront Moscow's influence while trying to avoid escalating any crisis further, this is not to the Kremlins liking..
And on a side note Russia’s violations of the Open Skies treaty, and treaty do not come in isolation and come on top of infringements of other treaties.

Lets me answer pro Russia usefulidiots this way !!
If Russia had Genocided five+ millions of your people in a Holodomor (Russian genocide 1932-1933 ) and you was forcefully incorporated into a union (USSR) with Russia; where millions more was forced to Gulags (soviet concentration camps) and persecuted; then you got freedom in 1991 wouldn't you also make sure that Russia never ever again got to rule over you and your country ???
But you your family and your country, probably does not have that type of history with Russia so you simply would not understand. Look at your question another way: suppose Germany suddenly invaded Israel. Do you think Israel would or should negotiate with Germany given to give up their land for peace give up their culture give up their identity and exchange it for Germany ruling over them once more !!
Philosopher George Santayana’s warning, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” is pertinent. We know that Putin is guided by an imperialist and fascist agenda, and by a desire to restore Soviet-era dominance over its neighbors. History has also shown us that, when a despot is willing to back his agenda with military force, the results are devasting if they are not confronted.
And make no mistake, supporting Ukraine is not only a matter of countering Vladimir Putin. It is just as much about sending a loud message to other autocratic leaders — particularly in Beijing and Tehran — that the United States will not stand by as democracy is actively threatened abroad.
About 40 years ago, former Republican president Ronald Reagan branded the Soviet Union an “evil empire,” and rallied the free world around bringing it down. We must not overlook the fact that the same corrupt, authoritarian and despotic values that characterized the Soviet Union in the Reagan era are embodied by Vladimir Putin.
Unfortunately, many on the political right seem to have forgotten history — or worse, are choosing to ignore it.
ALSO ON A SIDE NOTE : A small part of Ukraines land for pace you say its only a small bit of land ...the truth is that it is in fact 200000 sqkm That is the cobindsize of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and Greece..
For the United Kingdom that is the same as they give away all of Scotland , all of Wales and 80% of England !!
For the United states that is handing over South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey !!
You want Ukraine to let Putin have that land for what? SO PUTIN COME BACK LATER AND invaded some in some years time after he hasrebuilt back up the Russian army constructed into the ground now positions on the very land he got for this so called "pace " !!
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...

The western feminist females have been supporting (for their own anti male agenda) for years this transgender and Lgbtq ++ movement!!! and females have been using the Lgbtq ++ movement as a sledgehammer to hammer down on masculinity and demonize the heterosexual males (and especially white heterosexual males) and they have been doing it for years pushing masculinity into the abyss!!!
But now those strong independent queens, those girl-bosses types of "I don't need a man" , Me woman strong hear my roar ! , Are getting all buhhhh cry baby about this situation, because their own Frankenstein monster is coming back full circle to eat its own promoters that are the female feminists , the Frankenstein monster are taking-over female sports outsmarting females in feminist sphere Their own Frankenstein creation they themselves promoted and helped bring forwarded has now turned on them.
But those strong independent females have for years been more than happy to using the transgender Lgbtq ++ Frankenstein monster, against heterosexual males to demonize heterosexual males; What western females have been calling toxic masculinity (basically means anything male and manly that they dont like ) ...
But now monster they was gladly unleashing unto others have come come full circle , the rooster have come home to roost , and it’s bitting them in their own backside!!! And now they are SOooo upset why NO one is helping them fight this transgender Lgbtq ++ Frankenstein monster the monster they themselves helped to unleash on men !! ... (where are all the white knights in shining armor to defend my innocent maiden honor thy cry ?)
Well you made your bed now you sleep in it honey , after all you are a strong independent women you don't need a man , and anything a man can do a woman can do as good or even better at-least that what you have been saying all this time ..
So now you have the chance to prove it!!
You go girl !!!

A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is almost 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed

GIVING A SURRENDER IS NOT A PEACE DEAL ITS A SHAKE DOWN !!!! Anyone can make a peace deal when they surrender, which is what Trump is asking Ukraine to do. Trump and his admin appear to be Putin's lifeline.
Trump is trying to force Ukraine into a capitulation a total surrender ; masquerading as a" PEACE DEAL " its not a peace deal when only one side must give up everything and the other side gets everything it wants ; and it defiantly not a peace deal when one side must give a 3rd party 50% of its natural resources and get nothing in return !!
This a MAFIA tactic it is putting a gun to someones head and telling them take this deal now; becouse either your brains or your signature will be on the document your choice !
ITS A SHAKE DOWN NOT A PEACE DEAL !!
TRUMP HAS :
- undermining democracy in the US by dismantling the division of forces (lawmaking, judiciary and executive). The core of any democracy. Clearly only benefits Russia
- tariffs hurt everybody (also US) but NOT Russia.
- creating international instability with his talks on Greenland, Canada and Panama. Typical Russian doctrine. If they fight amongst each-other, they don't focus on Russia. You just need to give them something to fight about. THIS ONLY BENEFITS RUSSIA
- his wife Melania was born and raised in communist Yugoslavia. Is she his agent handler??
Its obvious what happened. A US president tried to shake down a foreign leader for mineral rights in Ukraine. The USA has abandoned its leadership role in the world and is now just for sale.
The Republicans have lost their minds and perhaps their souls. Siding with Russia and trying to force Ukraine to accept an unjust "peace" without any security guarantees, other than you give us 50% of your natural resources rare metals your lithium, cobalt, scandium, graphite, tantalum, and niobium in Ukraine and Putin will never attack you because our companies are inside your country !!!!
WOW its was that easy all a long to scare off Putin just send American companies into Ukraine!! LOL ..... That the guarantee thats what they are now telling Zelenskyy this is what Trump and Vance are trying to sell Zelenskyy this is what they say is a security ;
WOW thats fantastic then why did the US. need to send all those weapons in the first place should have just sent in Microsoft, Ford motor company , Heinz Tomato Ketchup , Coca Cola , Mac Donalds. together with some big boys like Conoco Philips, Hecla Mining, Chevron and Goldman Sachs and last but not least The Walt Disney Company!! I hear Mickey Mouse big ears really scares Putin to death -- THEY TRYING TO PLAY UKRAINE AND FOR FOOLS SO WHO IS BEING DISRESPECTFUL HERE !!
ON A SIDE NOTE ; Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, several countries began military operations against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Afghanistan.
UKRAINE WAS ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES Ukraine was with the US. for 11 years side by side back to back with US forces !!!!
Ukraine allowed use of its airspace and airbases to the US and its allies, but only for cargo flights. Ukraine was a participant in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan and deployed troops as part of NATO's ISAF mission to the country. It contributed medical personnel supporting Provincial Reconstruction Teams, and provided instructors for NATO's Training Mission. After ISAF's mission ended in 2014, Ukraine supported the follow-on Resolute Support Mission (2015-2021) that trained, advised and assisted Afghan security forces

THE MYTH OF RUSSIA IS A SUPERPOWER ON THE WORLD STAGE DEBUNKED !
For centuries, Russia has seen itself as one of the world's great powers.
This superpower Russia status idea myth, seen by most of the world is now become a declining idea and the world is now seeing that Russia is not and has never been any super power; More and more ppl. now understand that Russia has only been masquerading as a "SUPER POWER " the Kremlin has been presenting itself as one and hiding behind the Myth of super power status; And even for some time the kremlin themself (one can argue) started to believe in their own lies, their own myth making and their own propaganda !
BUT AFTER UKRAINE THIS MYTH IS BUSTED !!
Russia: has only $1.48 trillion annual GDP that makes Russia about the same size economically on the level of Spain if your economy is as small as Spain how can you think even for one min you are some sort of super power, that has some spacial right to be seen on the same level as UK, US , or even China ???
Let's look at some fact here: Russia is closer to Indonesia and Australia economically, than it is UK , Germany , France US or Japan .. !!
And when it comes to having nukes dose that make you a super power, well UK and France has nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) as well and so does North Korea and even israel is claimed to have nuclear weapons, is North Korea or UK and France Super powers becouse they have nuclear weapons ???
1. United States: $20.89 trillion
2. China: $14.72 trillion
3. Japan: $5.06 trillion
4. Germany: $3.85 trillion
5. United Kingdom: $2.67 trillion
6. India: $2.66 trillion
7. France: $2.63 trillion
8. Italy: $1.89 trillion
9. Canada: $1.64 trillion
10. South Korea: $1.63 trillion
11. Russia: $1.48 trillion
12. Brazil: $1.44 trillion
13. Australia: $1.32 trillion
14. Spain: $1.28 trillion
15. Indonesia: $1.05 trillion

The Black Sea countries are many!! And Then Black Sea does not belong to Russia that’s a myth !!
Bulgaria, (NATO )
Romania (NATO)
Turkey (NATO)
Ukraine (NATO partner )
Georgia (NATO partner)
So in-fact ANY NATO country members navy and or air force is within their full right to sail and be within the Black Sea, as non of the Black Sea Nations (That have a real and legal int. recognized cost-line not like Russia ) have any problem with NATO ships being in their waters and even the non NATO members like Ukraine and Georgia, even more so then the NATO nations, want and are begging for more NATO ships to come and be in the BLACK SEA !
(NATO nations of the black sea are in-fact real black sea nations not like Russia stealing land then claiming to be the owner of that land and sea )
Coastline length to the black see by country/ Country Coastline length (km)
Turkey 1,329km (NATO)
Ukraine 2,782km (NATO partner )
Bulgaria 354km (NATO)
Georgia 310km (NATO partner )
Romania 225km (NATO)
AND ON A SIDE NOTE : NATO is already 500 km from Moscow via Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BS there is 800 km from Kyiv to Moscow ..
And her is a thought .. if every neighbor you have is running to begging NATO to let them join NATO is it becouse you are such a nice and good neighbor? Or is it because you act like a bully and are aggressive and invade your neighbor lands sending in troops and tanks Hungary 1956, Czechoslovakia 1968, Poland 1980 Moldova 1990-91, Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014 ++ and no all of Ukraine 2022+++ eat eat eat ... Maybe if you act in a more nicer way, then your neighbors will liked you more and maybe your neighbors in your neighborhood will want to be around you as well ..

Woman: "Don't Protect me I am an independent female and strong woman !”
Man: "Ok"
Woman getting harassed and NEED help *
Woman: "Why didn't you protect and help me?"
Everyone is a feminist and a leftist ideologist until the Titanic starts sinking and then at that moment; you will hear the same feminist and a leftists ideologist that women and children should get place in the lifeboat first. And you end up with a guitar and accordion on the deck playing music on your way soon to be fish food as they board the last lifeboat..
You will never see or hear a feminist and/or a leftists ideologist, say we need equally, inclusiveness and there is no such thing as the weaker sex or gender identity roles between a man and a woman , or hear a feminist say everyone is equal, when it comes to giving out the lifeboats seats when the ship is sinking in the dark night in the ice cold waters of the Atlantic ocean no no no then they are all for gender roles and your roll my friend is soon to be fish food ; will she gets the lifeboat on her way to find new understanding "equal man" to her queen boss babe feminist persona to pay her bills let her be "equal " (until of course the next Titanic starts sinking then she will demand the lifeboat is only for women ) ..
Why IS IT LIKE THIS you ask ..... Well because the feminists LIKE TO PLAY THE SNEAKY GAME , because they are sly, disingenuous, shifty and self-serving hypocrites, that will use and take anything, everything they can and twist any argument to promote and benefit what they will call "equality and diversity" , but really it is never about real equality and diversity at all ; its about and has always been about promoting (in any situation then can ) better advantages, benefits , resources and roles, potions for themselves at the expense of men ; In other words they in the most disingenuous way make sure to receive the benefits and privileges, of any life situation/ ´social, scholarly and /or professional situation, without been expected to be holden to ( by others ) to the responsibility and standards of those benefits and privileges they claim and demand and believe to be inherently deserving and entitled to receive for free just because they are a female !!

Let's see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
LIKE i have said before ... Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Trump says just give up on wanting your cities, your land back your people , back ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass anyway that Russia wants so just give it up and we all can have some peace ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..

Claim: NATO's operation over Kosovo was illegitimate
Fact: The NATO operation for Kosovo followed over a year of intense efforts by the UN and the Contact Group, of which Russia was a member, to bring about a peaceful solution. The UN Security Council on several occasions branded the ethnic cleansing in Kosovo and the mounting number of refugees driven from their homes as a threat to international peace and security. NATO's Operation Allied Force was launched to prevent the large-scale and sustained violations of human rights and the killing of civilians.
Following the air campaign, the subsequent NATO-led peacekeeping operation, KFOR, which initially included Russia, has been under UN mandate (UNSCR 1244) see here , with the aim of providing a safe and secure environment in Kosovo.
Claim: Russia has the right to demand a "100% guarantee" that Ukraine will not join NATO
Fact: According to Article I of the Helsinki Final Act which established the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in 1975, every country has the right "to belong or not to belong to international organizations, to be or not to be a party to bilateral or multilateral treaties including the right to be or not to be a party to treaties of alliance." All the OSCE member states, including Russia, have sworn to uphold those principles.
In line with those principles, Ukraine has the right to choose for itself whether it joins any treaty of alliance, including NATO's founding treaty.
Moreover, when Russia signed the Founding Act, it pledged to uphold "respect for sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all states and their inherent right to choose the means to ensure their own security".
Thus Ukraine has the right to choose its own alliances, and Russia has, by its own repeated agreement, no right to dictate that choice.

Understand they are NOT asked putin to leave because he has committed crimea and evil started an illegal war etc etc etc They are asking him to leave because Putin has not won and gone far enough with his war crimes !! UNDERSTAND THE DIFFERENCE !!
Russians, always uses as an excuse: I'm not interested in politics to make out they have not supported the anything bad !!
Look at it this way ; Putin is himself a symptom of the Russian mentality; FACT ; it is Russia and Russians that made Putin NOT Putin that made Russia or Russians !!
Far from dragging his reluctant compatriots into war, Putin is himself a symptom of the Russian mentality (remember it is Russia and Russians that made Putin NOT Putin that made Russia or Russians ) the unapologetically imperialistic outlook that shapes modern Russia’s relationship with the outside world and fuels the country’s insatiable appetite for external aggression.
(Moldova, 1991
Georgia 2008
Ukraine (Crimea ) 2014 Ukraine (East Ukraine )
and now all of Ukraine 2022 ++++)
(And let's not forget historical Russian roles in 1994 Nagorno Karabakh. 1994
First Chechen War 1999 Second Chechen War 2000 Second Chechen War part 2, Kazakhstan 2022 just to mention some as there are many more )
An understanding of Russia’s imperial instincts is essential for anyone looking to make sense of the seemingly senseless war crimes currently taking place in Ukraine. After all, it was not Putin who committed rape, torture, and mass murder in towns and villages across Ukraine. Putin did not fly the jets or fire the artillery that reduced entire Ukrainian cities to rubble. Likewise, he did not personally produce the endless stream of Russian propaganda films, TV shows, fake news bulletins, and social media posts dehumanizing Ukrainians and demonizing the West. These crimes were only possible thanks to the millions of Russians who willingly participated in the process or offered their enthusiastic support over a period of many years.
While politicians and commentators in the West continue to promote the comforting notion that Russians are themselves victims of Putin’s regime, virtually all the available evidence points to strong Russian public support for the war in Ukraine.
A recent survey conducted by Russia’s only internationally respected independent pollster, the Levada Center, found that 89% of Russians back the invasion of Ukraine with just 6% somewhat disagreed and 5% strongly opposed . (NOW LET THAT SINK IN !! )
Positive Russian attitudes toward the war are rooted in longstanding perceptions of Ukraine as part of Russia’s imperial heartlands. Despite the passage of three decades since the collapse of the Soviet Union, many Russians have never fully come to terms with the idea of an independent Ukraine and continue to regard the country as an indivisible element of historic Russia that has been artificially separated from the motherland.
Putin did not invent such sentiments but he has proven highly skilled at exploiting them. In his many speeches and essays on the Ukraine issue, he has consistently appealed to Russia’s imperial aspirations while playing on widespread resentment at the country’s post-Soviet humiliations and loss of superpower status. When Putin laments the fall of the USSR as the “demise of historical Russia,” ordinary Russians understand that it is primarily Ukraine he has in mind.
UNDERSTAND-THAT Russians are and have always been psychoticnation spellbound and fascinated by the big great leader syndrome-complex it comes historically of their eurasian historical mentality and idea /ideology of what the Russians call the Ruski Mir (Russia world ) some call it the Russian soul and what they see as th "uniqueness" of the Russian national identity. ..
The Russians have now vote in Putin for-almost 20years now, they vote over and over for this sycophanticlunatic that is Putin; The Russians have no excuse they have voted him in for over 20 years now, they know how he is, why he does what he does, and what he will do; there should be no shock over what he does or does not do, the Russians know all about Putin, and they like what he does, and how he does it; And that is why they vote for him over and over and over again !!
Look at it from this way : The public had a changes back in 2008 in the election when Putin in accordance with the Russian constitution, was forbidden to run for the office of President because of the limitation of how many times a person can continually be President ; The Russian ppl. had an option of voting for the opposition cadet at the time Mr. Boris Nemstov (and not for Putins boy Demitry Medvedev,) and therefor also democracy rule of law and to become a normal country;
But did they vote for Boris?
NO no no no, they did not vote for Boris did they !!
NO they vote for Putin's puppet boy Mr. Demitry Medvedev, because that was the next best thing as voting for Putin himself !!!
And after one term in office they voted once more to reinstated Putin back as president in accordance with the constitution !! So the Russians have no excuse they are responsible for what Putin does in there name..

Putin did not begin the undercover proxy-war in 2014 so that it would end in peace, independency and prosperity for Ukraine and its people. and he did not start a all out war in 2022 for the independency and prosperity for Ukraine and its people
This war does not hinder Putin, it facilitates his goals instead.
Putin started it so it would end with the defeat of Ukraine and the Ukrainian peoples/ nations aspirations of true self-government true independence and democratic nation, that was fare away from the hegemony control and orbit of Russia … IN OTHER words with our collapse of Ukrainian society.
It helps him keep Ukraine on the Kremlin hook and hegemony control and helps Putin feel himself as an influential leader negotiating with the West. So, why would he need peace?
And before someone starts up about Russia right to protect itself from the "western incursion and decadent western incorrectness of political arrogance" (whatever that means ) and therefor Russian needs a "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine "
Let me ask you this ; Who gives Putin the right to have "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine " we live in 2022 not 1822 ??? What about the people who live in "that so called sphere of interest" that is the sovereign country of Ukraine don't they (the Ukrainian ppl.) have an " sphere of interest in Ukraine itself " ?
Shall the Ukrainians just bend their knee and behave as slaves, and become some sort of quasi 2nd class nation/ country, and have their society run under the heal and accept being kicked by Kremlin's boot of the " sphere of Russian interest " ; Should Ukraine just roll over and let Russia controlled Ukraine for the sole benefit of Putins klan agenda and the geo political intrs. of the Moscow Kremlin kleptocracy elites?: And let Ukraine become some sort of quasi geographical entity for political advantages of the Kremlin ? Or should Ukraine stand up and fight against such tyrannical thing as PUTINS "sphere of interest" as the independent European self governing state it is FIGHT for freedom, sovereignty and self-rule ??
FACT !!! Ukraine was forced into this war by Russia not Russia by Ukraine (or anyone else ) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has no choice he needs to now be the president of a country, that is in a war defending its country and ppl. against a brutal evilaggressor. And the authorities of the aggressor country do not want any peace.
(If the Russia army stops fighting today and goes home back to Russia tomorrow there will be NO war If Ukraine stops fighting today there will be NO Ukraine !! )
But like I say if Russia has no intrs. and they feel Russia society values and norms living is so much better than the despicable arrogant western world, just stay in Russia stop living inside the west stop buying houses , sending your kids to western schools for a western education and holidays to the western world and stop using western products and technology no prob you go do you; you go be Russia no one is stopping you !!
Why not try and stop emulating the west will at the same time rejecting the west and then on top of it claiming to be its equal .. here is a thought if you are the emulating the west you are a copy and a copy is just hard core evidence that the original is the better !! If your Russki Mir (Russian World ideology /society ) was better then the western world; why do you not 100% just stick to being Russian why are you emulating everything that is western !! The answer is clear becouse its better then your Russki Mir !!
Ukraine, Georgia , Moldova the Baltic's and the rest of Eastern Europe don't want your Russian world (KGB Putin Stalinism strong man BS ) they want western democracy freedom and choice so let them make their own future there own mistakes and there own success those ppl. countries and nations don't want your Moscow /Kremlin HEGEMONY called Russki Mir or your so called Russian greatness of special rights of so called 3rd Rome !!
Let's take a look at Ukraine and the same goes for Georgia and other countries that Moscow wants to bully and kick around !!
Ukraine is a sovereign nation with rights and should be free to govern itself. Russia as a political entity has never had the best interest of the Ukraine and its people at heart. The Ukrainians have a distinct and rich culture, their own language, and a desire for self-rule, liberty and freedom to make decisions of its own.
Russia wants to control Ukraine so it can obtain its resources for its own benefit (as has happened throughout history). Ukraine in its east and south has in-fact the 3rd biggest oil and gas reservers in Europe and should those resources start getting taped and sold to the west then Russia has a massive competitor on its hands for the European market !! You don't believe me google Ukraine shield gas reserves !!
Russian control has never been for the benefit of the Ukrainian people. BUT HERE"S THE REAL POINT: even if it had been, Ukraine is still a sovereign nation and has the right to rule itself!!!
The Russian state has sought to control Ukraine and to deceive the rest of the world into believing that there is no Ukrainian culture or language, and that Ukraine is simply a dissident Russian state through use of propaganda and oppression has repeatedly attempted to wipe out the Ukrainian people and culture.
Do I need to mention the millions of Ukrainians killed by the Russian government? The fear and repression of Ukraine under Russian rule? The families lost behind the "Iron Curtain?"
The Holodomor genocide when Russia killed 10 mill Ukrainians in 1933 - 1934 and after that replaced then with ethnic Russians manly in the east of Ukraine (todays Donbas ) for crying out loud?
And that is why after 1991 the Ukrainians rally around their rich and beautiful culture - because it is THEIRS. And because they deserve a voice of their own, and to live free from the oppression of of foreign state that seeks to exploit and obliterate them!
Russian controlled soviet union former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect ...couldn't wait to join NATO and the EU to get as fare away from Russian hegemony control as fast as the possibly can at the time .
If the Russians weren't suchaaaaholes, they wouldn't have to worry about EU NATO and former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect running too the front door of EU and NATO .
(PS : yes i agree not all is perfect in the west but is why better and has always been why better than anything Russia has come up with in history ; And that is why ppl from all over the world (including Russians ) move to Europe ,UK and US in the millions !! ; For all its faults that the western world has and it has a few, it still is 10000 times better than Russia , Africa or china !!! I mean no one is building a wall to hold ppl. inside like Russian controlled Soviet Union did the US is in fact building walls to stop ppl. for coming inn and so dose European countries as well )

PART 1 OF 3
In the USSR, the myth of the Great Patriotic War was and still is the central to the identity of the Soviet and todays Russians citizen.
The practical reasons were obvious: after the end of the war, there was no positive event of equal significance that could play a unifying role. Starting from 1965, the Soviet state cultivated the image of the powerful victorious Soviet nation united in battling the evil invaders in lavish celebrations. Today, it is once again being used as a nation-formative myth, and one that justifies modern Russian military expansion.
The Kremlin is convincing the Russian population that by invading Ukraine it is not committing aggression against a neighboring country, but merely continuing the battle against fascists who endanger both Russia and the world.
To do that, it perpetuates historical falsifications of the Soviet era. A new book published by the Institute of National Memory aims to bust Soviet-era myths about World War II.
The RuSSian Soviet propaganda Myth about ww2 …Russia like to promote the myth of the Great Patriotic War started 1941 started on 22th June 1941, after the German invasion in the Soviet Union . All the combat actions that took place before 1941 according to this fantastic Kremlin lei, was a separate happening that has nothing to do with the ww2 or the Soviet entry in World War 2 —
THE REAL TRUTH
The Red Army first opened fire on 17th September 1939, when entered the Eastern Poland. Soviet forces captured all Polish territory that was marked as the Soviet sphere of interest in Molotov-Ribbentrop pact.
It was a use of force and therefore the Soviet Union entered World War II as a German ally since they held a friendly joint parade at Brestlitovsk.
Soviet invasion was the finishing blow to Poland and helped Germans to win the invasion more quickly. Even if the Winter war in Finland could be taken as the separate war, it also was a part of a Soviet campaign to acquire all territories in the Soviet sphere of interest and at this time the Soviet Union was the German ally and British were considering to send an armed support for Finland.
Also the occupation of the Baltic states and Bessarabia of Rumania was a military action. So again the Great Patriotic war myth was created to hide the unholy alliance with Germany and the actions done before 22. June 1941.
The Napoleon invasion of Russia in 1812 is also called Patriotic War, but it was also a part of Napoleonic war same as the Eastern campaign in 1941 was the part of World War II that the Soviet Union already begun in 1939.
THE MYTH of the Soviet Union won the war thanks to the courage of the Soviet people and the wisdom of the Soviet command. The allied help was not that important
THE REAL TRUTH
In the first weeks of the German invasion, the Germans captured large areas and went to far distances. It was partly blamed on Red Army attack stance not defensive, but also the lack of morale, loyalty and courage was to blame. In fact in the first phases of the war Red Army took a chaotic panicked retreat all the way to Smolensk and Leningrad.
The airplanes, tanks and guns were just abandoned to Germans. Divisions located many hundred miles from the front retreated. It was only the Stalins order of “no step back” and shooting the men from behind that stopped the complete collapse of the Red Army. Reason?
There was a lack of discipline in the Soviet ranks, lack of professionalism and no big support to Stalin. Especially in Western Ukraine, where after the Stalinist repressions and the Great Famine was a heavy sense of Ukrainian nationalism. Same goes for Baltic states were Red Army had no support from the local populace.
Only when Eastern Front stopped near Moscow, and Soviets gathered enough forces with draconian efforts, Red Army was ready to fight again. Plus the Germans failed to fill out the hopes of the Ukrainians and Baltic people and did many atrocities that moved Russians against the Germans. So it was a fear that helped the Soviets to fight not bravery. And the incompetence of the Soviet command that emphasized on brutal majority not tactics cost thousands of life’s.
The only German advantage over Soviets were their discipline and professionalism of their commanders. However both of the leaders of the Germany and Soviet Union were more or less bloody military amateurs.
UK and US send 50, 1 billion dollar military support to the Allied countries $31.4 billion went to Britain, $11.3 billion to the Soviet Union, $3.2 billion to France, $1.6 billion to China, and smaller sums to other Allies. The Soviet Union sent 2,2 billion dollars in return.
Allied fleets lost a large amount of ships and sailors on their way to Soviet ports as they were hunted by German submarines. Even if the Soviets counted that only 4% of the allied Land lease was part of their economical surplus, 57% of the plane fuel came from allies, Soviets received more automobiles than they could build. A large part of railway track came from allies. Also the large amount of materials for military industry. True that Soviets almost did not use any of the allied supplied tank or airplane.
But their weapons were built with allied resources. In military field the allied war in West did help Soviets to defeat the Germans. On 1943, when the Germans attacked Kursk, the allied landing in Sicily caused Hitler to cancel the attack on the eastern front. If the D-Day would fail or never occurred Germans would have enough resources to fight against Soviets all the way to 1946.
THE MYTH of the Red Army veterans are heroes and all the accusations of atrocities are false or the victims deserved it. The local population in the liberated countries who did not greet the liberators are-nazi-supporters-and scoundrels
THE REAL TRUTH
At 12th Januar 1945 General Ivan Chernjachovsky commander of the third Belorussian front gave the following order: “Two thousand miles we have walked past to see the destruction of all that was dear to us. Now we are standing at the lands from where the aggressors attacked on us.
We will not stop until we will clear it.
There will be no mercy for no one as there was no mercy for us. You cannot demand to the Soviet Soldier that he will be merciful to the enemy. He is burning in flames of revenge and hate. The land of Fascists must become a wasteland as ours is now. Fascists must die just as our soldiers died!”. And the Soviet soldiers did their best to fulfill this order.
Only the Fascists they killed and raped were not soldiers and members of the-naziparty-but women and children. Eastern Prussia, Silesia, Poland and even Serbia became a subject of rape, killings and looting. Even if there was a German crimes against Soviet population, it was on a smaller scale, plus the German soldiers and SS members were prohibited to rape because of the racial laws.
The Holocaust in Soviet Union is a different story and it’s doubtful that Soviet Soldiers rape and killed to avenge the Jews. Antisemitism was no lesser in Soviet ranks than in German.
Many of today’s last generation of the surviving veterans had little or no combat experience. The real heroes died on first lines of the battlefield in Soviet mass attacks. Their medal count does not manifest their bravery since the awarding of low rank medals, orders and badges are the part of the Soviet War cult.
And the Soviet officers and generals who did nothing to stop the soviet soldiers from doing bad deeds are not worthy to be called heroes.
We cannot call Poles, who knew what happened in 1939,
Latvians who knew what happened in 1940 and others who resisted Soviet “liberation” fascists since the freedom that the Soviets brought was no better. Soviet Union had no plans for freedom of the Eastern Europe so it’s no wonder that today the Soviet liberation is not much appreciated.
This is only a short list of the Soviet myths. Its requires books to break them apart. Many of them have been broken by Russians themselves. But Putin’s Russia continues its revisionist policy from Yeltsin democracy to Stalinism. So the Great Patriotic war is not only the myth its a religion a belief system on its own and its god is Stalin that still rules Russia.

PART 2 OF 3
THE MYTH … The USSR defeated-nazigermany without the help of allies. The Russian forces could have won the war without the help of other nationalities of the Soviet Union
Soviet textbooks described the role of Soviet allies in the war in a rather superficial manner. While they are blamed for allowing the occupation of the Czech republic and waited till the last moment to open up the Second front, little is said about US help as part of the lend-lease program.
During the Cold War, this myth was particularly important, as it elevated the contribution of the Soviet Union and diminished the contributions of its allies who were now on the other side of the Iron Wall. Today, in line with the growing isolation of Russia from the West, this myth is once again accentuated, one recent example being the book of now-Minister of Culture of Russia Volodymyr Medynsky “War. Myths of the USSR. 1939-1945.”
In reality, the lend-lease was one of the decisive factors in the victory of the Allied forces against the Axis. The USSR, and Russia as its successor, still has not repaid its debt for the lend-lease to the USA.
According to different estimates, western equipment added up to:
* 12-16% of the equipment of the Soviet armored troops;
* 10-15% of USSR’s aviation
* 32.4% of its Navy.
Up to 70% of the transport of the Soviet army came from the USA, meaning that the Soviet army drove around mainly on US cars. While the USSR released only 600 trucks for mounting “Katyusha” mortars, the USA contributed 20,000 American Studebaker trucks, making it the main vehicle for Soviet artillery. Apart from that, the lend-lease program gave USSR 56% of its railroad tracks and 43% of tires; 42% of it sugar, 108% of meat preserves, 18% of aviation fuel.
The amount of locomotives that the West provided exceeded the USSR’s production by 2.4 times and the amount of train cars – by 10.2 times. The amount of food that the USSR received as part of the lend-lease would have been enough to feed a 10-million army over 1688 days, i.e. the whole course of the war.
Myth…. For the USSR, World War II started on 22 June 1941. The proper name of the war is the “Great Patriotic War,” because the USSR was defending itself against the-nazzi-invasion
In reality , the USSR started the war on 17 September 1939, when the Red Army crossed the border with Poland, occupying it in accordance to the union between the Third Reich and Soviet Union, outlined by the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. “German and Soviet troops walked hand in hand. This was called a ‘military brotherhood’ in the USSR, before the war broke out,” noted Oleksandr Zinchenko from the Institute of National Memory. After Hitler started the war in Europe, the USSR provided economic assistance to-nazigermany-The USSR attempted to conceal these facts of collaboration with Hitler with the concept of the “Great Patriotic War,” which started out as a mere ideological cliché pronounced by Joseph Stalin during a radio broadcast on 3 July 1941, after-nazigermany-invaded Soviet Ukraine.
Today, the concept of “Great Patriotic War” is being used by the Russian Federation as an alternative to World War II in attempts to maintain its influence on Ukraine and post-Soviet republics.
Myth … The USSR is an innocent victim of German aggression and was always an enemy of the-nazzis-and did not work with them
Reality: The USSR signed a non-aggression pact with-nazigermany-the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, that not only defined broad economic cooperation with the Third Reich and agreement on mutual non-aggression, but also contained a secret protocol by which the USSR and Germany agreed to divide up Europe.
During Soviet times, and in Russia today, the existence of the-nazi–Soviet-pact was explained as a necessity that came only after fruitless negotiations with Britain and France, and that the invasions of Poland were unconnected to the pact. In fact, Stalin willingly ruined attempts to establish an anti-Hitler coalition. During 12-21 August 1939, negotiations with Britain and France about collaborating to meet growing security challenges associated with the Third Reich took place in Moscow, but did not amount to an agreement because the Soviet leadership demanded the right to occupy Poland’s regions Halychyna and Vilenska Oblast (today, western regions of Ukraine and Belarus), which the other side could not condone.
Both Stalin and Hitler were unsatisfied with the world order that came about after World War I, which made their collaboration natural. On 19 August 1939, Stalin spoke about the necessity to urge Europe into a great war, which would be an overture to a “world revolution;” on 23 August 1939, the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was signed, outlining broad economic cooperation between the USSR and the Third Reich, and violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a range of independent countries.
In addition to the stated clauses of the Molotov-Ribbentrop non-aggression pact, a secret protocol was adopted, dividing territories of Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Finland into German and Soviet “spheres of influence”, anticipating potential “territorial and political rearrangements” of these countries. The Kremlin denied the existence of the secret protocol to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact up to 1992.
The Soviet-nazi-military collaboration is undeniably clear in photographs from the German–Soviet military parade in Brest-Litovsk on 22 September 1939 during the invasion of Poland.
The pact had the most tragic consequences for European nations and the world; it is this agreement that became the mechanism opening the doors for a new world war. What followed was the invasion of Poland by-nazigermany-and the USSR, followed by the further carving up of Europe.

AND ON A SIDE NOTE : The western NATO-alliance is already 500 km from Moscow via Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BS there is 800 km from Kyiv to Moscow ..
(And lets not forget the last time when "Russia" got closer to NATO it was in-fact Russia own doing, by invading and annexing Crimea in 2014 "Russia" came right up-to and ended inside the NATO countries BLACK SEA maritime territorial waters !!)
And her is a thought .. If every neighbor you have is running to NATO begging NATO to let them join; is it becouse you are such a nice and good neighbor?
Or is it because you act like a bully and are aggressive and invade your neighbors lands sending in troops and tanks Hungary 1956, Czechoslovakia 1968, Poland 1980 Moldova 1990-91, Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014 ++ and now Kazakhstan 2022+++ and Ukraine 2022 (soon to come ) ??
Russia eats eats eats its victims and then blame the victims for eating them !!...
Maybe if you act in a more nicer way, then your neighbors will liked you more and maybe your neighbors in your neighborhood will want to be around you as well ..
QUESTION : Did the USA, EU or any other phantom in Putin's fantasy world like , Obama TRUMP NATO, CIA , MI6 mythical neo-nazi in Kyiv or The EU force, Russia into invading Ukraine and force Russia to commit other atrocities like shooting down MH17, annex Crimea, run an undercover proxy war in East Ukraine or poison ppl. in the UK ???
As for Putin's dimwitted shortsighted boggyman claims about NATO and CIA controlled neoNazis in Kyiv to even be in, any way the slightest tiniest bit of truth, then that is what will have needed to happen! SO NO the west and any other boggyman did not force Russia into do anything Russia and Putin did this themselves !!
The Kremlins Putin, has been interfering (like Russia has done for years) with Ukraine for years and interfering with Ukrainian elections process manipulating, propagandizing, running covert and clandestine black operations, and corruption schemes on Ukrainian business and political society for Moscow elites own agenda years; and now that the Ukrainian people said NO MORE and we want European democracy and values, Russia then annexed parts of Ukraine (Crimea ) and is waging a proxy war inside Eastern parts of Ukriane to destabilize Ukraine and European economic integration with Ukraine and this way try and force Ukraine back-under Moscow's heal of hegemonic control and sphere of influence ; and that is the ONLY reasons why Kremlins relationship with the west is strained and sanctions are forced upon Russia today !!
It might be useful to recap some of the reason why :
Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade;
Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU; Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries; provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace;
Russia's alleged interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia;
Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that
Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers;
Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory;
Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region; Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation";
Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict;
Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people;
Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006;
Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018; among lots of other things to much to even list up ..
NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING , THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!
JUST LIKE UKRAINE WANTING TO JOIN NATO AND THE EU THEY MADE A CHOICE THEY WAS NOT FORCED INTO IT !!!!
THEY MADE THAT CHOICE ALL THE WAY BACK IN 2008 WHEN THEY SAW RUSSIA INVADE GEORGIA THAT IS WHEN UKRAINIANS UNDERSTOOD WHAT TYPE OF NEIGHBOR RUSSIA REALLY IS !

RUSSIANS ARE NOT SLAVIC!
TAKE A LOOK AT THOSE PPL. PIC. (FAMOUS RUSSIANS ) DO THEY REALLY LOOK LIKE THEY ARE SLAVIC EUROPEANS TO YOU ??
The DNA study of today's so-called Russians shows that the historical facts are that Russians are Mongoloid / Finno-Ugric descendants and NOT Slavic like Ukrainians and Polish people ...
According to a 2008 study, the mitochondrial lines of the Finnish, Hungarians and other Finno-Ugric tribes are indistinct (indistinct= meaning NO DNA connection at ALL) of neighboring Slavic ppl. like the Polish, Ukrainians and of other neighboring ppl. like the Scandinavians, Norwegians, Swedes and of the ppl. of the Baltics like the Lithuanians and Latvians !!!
(A recent study has found that haplogroup N and NO of the Finno-Ugric peoples and their descendants spread to todays northern part of Russia around the todays Murmansk and the area of The Moscow river basin and Finland / Estonia from Northern China about 12,000–14,000 years ago. The Y-DNA Haplogroup N and NO confirming their Finno-Ugric origin that proves and supports the historical claims that todays Finnish, Estonians , Sami and Hungarians come from Turanid (South-Siberian) and lived around what we today call northern and eastern part of Russia ..)
Russians are no more Slavic then the Finnish are ethnic Scandinavian even if Finland is in geographically in Scandinavia, they (the Finnish ppl.) are NOT ethnic Scandinavians like the Norwegians, Danish and Swedish people... in-fact they are Finno-Ugric and related ethnically to Hungarians and Estonians, Sami and other Finno-Ugric tribes in North East Eurasia where they originally migrated from back in the day and mostly settled down where todays Finland, Estonia and Russia is today ..
Take a look at this map and you will see even today the Finno-Ugric tribes are 90% in what today is Russia ..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finno-Ugric_peoples#/media/File:Fenno-Ugrian_people.png
Russians er nothing more than confused descendants of Finno-Ugric tribes that assimilated with Mongolians, back in the day… when the golden horde controlled all of what is today's Russian lands …Russians must have some sort of dimwit Syndrome thinking they are from Ukrainian Kiev Russ and Slavic background..
The DNA study of today's so-called Russians shows that the historical facts are that Russians are Mongoloid / Finno-Ugric descendants and NOT Slavic like Ukrainians and Polish people ...
The DNA evidence proves that Russians without a doubt are Mongoloid / Finno-Ugric descendants ..
Mongolian blood in Russians see link

THE R1a explanation for dummy's Russians have is R1a-Z93 and is the main Asian branch of R1a.
Western and Northern European and also western Ukrainians have R1a -Z284 falls under the root R1a1a1* (M417), and Russians have the R1a1q-M458 ( Finno Ugric ) and the Y-DNA (paternal) haplogroup R1a-Z93 (Mongolian )…and N1c haplogroup N Finno-Ugric DNA
So this proves Russians are of Asian and Finno Ugric bold NOT Western Europeans..
A recent study has found that haplogroup NO of the Finno-Ugric peoples and their descendants probably spread to todays Russia from Northern China about 12,000–14,000 years ago.

PART 2 OF 2
Take a look at the facts about The exonym "Hungarian" comes from "Ugor".in 895 The Magyars/Hungarians belonged to the Onogur tribal alliance, and it is possible that they became its ethnic majority The Hungarian people refer to themselves by the demonym "Magyar" rather than "Hungarian". "Magyar" is Finno-Ugric from the Old Hungarian "mogyër". "Magyar" possibly derived from the name of the most prominent Hungarian tribe, the "Megyer". The tribal name "Megyer" became "Magyar" in reference to the Hungarian people as a whole
Anthropologically, the type of Magyars of the conquest phase shows similarity to that of the Andronovo people, in particular of the Sarmatian groups around the southern Urals. The Turanid (South-Siberian) and the Uralid types from the Europo-Mongoloids were dominant among the conquering Hungarians .. And this is the same as you will find in Russians finish today!!!
(NOTE : 2008 study, the mitochondrial lines of the Finno-Ugric ppl like Hungarians and Finnish ppl. are clearly indistinct from that of neighboring Slavs like Ukrainians and Polish people) ..
The Hungarians like the Finnish ppl. are of the same as Magyars what we today call Hungarian. (Magyar" is Finno-Ugric ) Four 10th century skeletons from well-documented cemeteries in Hungary of ancient Magyar individuals were sampled. Two of the four males belonged to Y-DNA Haplogroup N confirming their Finno-Ugric origin that proves and supports the historical claims that todays Finish are Finno-Ugric and comes from the Turanid (South-Siberian) and lived around what we today call northern and eastern part of Russia ..
The Finno-Ugric peoples (like the Finnish ppl). ar any of several peoples of Eurasia who speak languages of the Finno-Ugric group Karelians, Finns, Udmurts, and Komis. The traditional area of the indigenous Sami people is in Northern Finland and the Kola Peninsula in Northwest Russia and is known as Sápmi. Some other Finno-Ugric peoples have autonomous republics in Russia: Karelians (Republic of Karelia), Komi (Komi Republic), Udmurts (Udmurt Republic), Mari (Mari El Republic), and Mordvins (Moksha and Erzya; Republic of Mordovia).
German anthropologist J. F. Blumenbach compared (Finno-Ugric ppl.) like the Finnish, Sami (the Arctic reindeer herders) and Mongolian skulls and concluded that the Finns (Finno-Ugric ppl.) were ‘mongoloid’ and not ‘white’ like the Swedes or Finland’s Swedish-speaking aristocracy.
This was widely accepted and led to the Turanian theory – that both the Finno-Ugric Finns and the Finno-Ugric Sami had originally come from the East – as well as strengthening the view, according to Finland-Swede sociologist Nina af Enehjelm, that Finns were somehow ‘other then there rest of ppl. living in Scandinavia ’..
He found that Finno-Ugric ppl. the Sami, Estonian, Hungarian and Finnish ppl. were from the same family but so were a series of across Siberia such as Komi and Mari. And even languages like Mongolian seemed to have a similar grammatical structure. This led to the ‘Migration Theory,’ the Finno-Ugric peoples arrived in Europe from Mongolia around three thousand years ago and finally got to what today is Finland and northern part of Russia.
The more recent discovery of genetics has added further evidence to the ‘Mongol’ claim. Geneticist Richard Kittles found in 1998 that Finns have ‘Dual Origins’ between Finno-Ugric and Mongoloid as measured by their ‘Y Chromosome Haplotype Variation.’ Other geneticists estimated that Finno-Ugric has between 10 percent and quarter mongoloid genes..
And in 2003, Slovenian geneticist Andrej Marusic observed that the Finnish and Russian propensity to alcoholism could be explained by the Mongolian ADH22 gene ‘which is common in Eastern peoples but almost unheard of Europe.’
Vladimir Lenin had Finno-Ugric Mordvin ancestry. There is a belief that President Vladimir Putin of Russia is the of Finno-Ugric Vepsian ancestry..
Failures by Russians to never really get out it backward ways I think you can be assigned to being "to Finish Urgic Mogoliish “ - meaning, primitive, backward, culturally un-European.
When Russians attempt to define their own race and assert that they are European it just comes over as false, and as far as today's scientific research goes, we can now conclude with certainty, Russian are not white Europeans it is a myth , Russians are and have always been Finno-Ugric that assimilated with Mongolians back in the day Russians are Eurasians and NOT European like Polish and Ukrainian Slavic ppl are !! !!!
Russians try to claim they are something they are not!
Russians are NOT Western European (Russians have claim to be for a long time, it goes back to Peter the great wish to be a European nation ) but it is nothing but a myth a type of fake nationalistic, myopic, backwardness ,as Russians today are unaccepting of objective truth that Russians are in-fact nothing more than dissidents of Finno-Ugric tribes that assimilated with Mongolians back when the land of Moskal ( northern Russia ) was annexed by the Mongolians and made it a part of the Golden Horde…
(unlike the Real Slavic people the Ukrainians and polish people that never assimilated with Mongolian occupiers )
The Russian DNA is evidence that they are not white Europeans. Testes of today's Russian males DNA have shown that they, like their ethnic brothers the Finnish people, share most of their chromosomes with the Chinese, and Mongolians (the Mongolian chromosomes ) just like the Finnish people do as well !!
This has proven without a doubt that Russian are NOT European as they share their DNA with the Mongolians and the study also shows that no other Europeans
(with the exception of other Finno-Ugric people) share that same chromosome structure with the Mongolians as Russians do !! ..
And why is this you ask ..
Answer… because Russians are Finno-Ugric people that assimilated with Mongolians and NOT white Europeans like Slavic or Germanic people are..
Why is it so vitally important to find this proof you ask ?
Answer… It shows a systematic falsification by Russia that started with Peter to falsify its history and links to Europe so Moscow can put down the claim to the Kievan Russia history, cultural and lands !!
What conclusion can we take out of all this data ??
1. Russians are NOT Slavic it is a myth !!
2. Russians are closer genetically linked to Finno-Ugric and Mongolians
3. Slavic people like polish and Ukrainians are not genetically linked to Finno-Ugric and Mongolians..
4. Russians need to reevaluate their own history and except the facts that they are nothing genetically to do with Slavic peoples heritage and therefore have no calm to Slavic lands !!
5. Russians need reevaluate their own history when it comes to climes of links and heritage to the KyivvRus and Vladimir and the history that belongs to the Slavic ppl. we know today as Ukrainians.

IT WAS NOT ETHNIC RUSSIAN THAT DIED FIGHTING THE NAZIS it was Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia and the other nations that was forced into the USSR and put in the front lines as cannon fodder the ethnic Russians was the NKVD cowards shooting everyone else in the backs the ethnic Russians was in the NKVD and was officers and in supply units behind the lines not getting used a cannon fodder !!
Also let us not forget the fact the it was the Stalin and RuSSia that made it possible for Hitler to build up his nazi army by giving him iron-ore and other need goods from 1939-1941 the soviet union was the strongest and most important partner of nazi Germany ..
It was only after June 1941 when Hitler turned on his good buddy Stalin and attacked the USSR that Stalin came running to the west for help and the west said yes ok we will let you fight with us they did this well knowing that Stalin helped Hitler build his army and also because the west was thinking in terms like my enemy's enemy is my friend policy and tactic
Russians living in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. I really think that the Russians aren’t the ones to lecture ANYONE about fascism, or anything else for that matter, especially since RuSSians was the ones that signed the pact with the-devil [nazigermany] and started World War II… and even today RuSSia are still glorifying Stalin... Hitlers good buddy in 1937-1941 Hitler and Stalin started ww2 together when they invaded Poland together.
The RuZZians were the cowards who shot their own troops in the backs to press other forward infront like a human shields and canon-fodder.
YES they did shoot their own troops in the backs But they did NOT shoot ethnic Russians in the backs as most of that scum was officers and in logistics and the NKVD doing the shooting...
The ethnic Russian scum was the pathetic scummy cowards that was shooting other Soviets in the back.....
And why did this happen you ask !
Answer : Becouse Stalin did not trust Ukrainians (and other none ethnic Russians )(remember he had only 8 years before Stalin had killed 10 mill Ukrainians in a genocide called the holodomor )
So what did Stalin do before ww2 he made a purge and killed all officers of non ethnic Russians decent in the Army and replaced them with ethnic Russians and made all others that was not ethnic Russians in low level positions in other worlds as cannon fodder for the german artillery and targets for german bullets... this was the Ukrainians, Belorussians , Uzbeks , Moldovan’s ect ect ect .. this is who was fighting and geting killed this is who was fighting the-nazi-not ethnic Russians they was in the safe jobs like NKVD ect ect ect ... back in the reserve army and as administrators ect ect..
Why do you think the Kremlin always say Russians died and not soviets died ?????
They do this to cover up this facts I have stated above and for Russia to take the honor from the people who really did the fighting..Russians and Russia have no shame !!

@ US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , because Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!
And here we can clearly see what such guarantees with the west is worth, it has been 8 years now since Russia invaded Ukraine in the east of the country and annexed parts of Ukraine in Crimea AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED so now Russia is going all inn and taking everything THE CAN!!
That is the result of worthless grantees !!
And here's something the WEST is clearly overlooking ; Taiwan , Israel and everyone else is also asking the question; CAN I TRUST THE WEST TO HOLD TO THEIR WORD AND STAND BY THE GUARANTEES THEY GIVE ! and not just Taiwan and Israel, is right now asking themselves those questions, but even small eastern European NATO member states that border Russia, will be asking themselves those questions as well !! IT'S ABOUT TRUST YOU LOSE TRUST YOU LOSE EVERYTHING!!
And her is the real kicker ; Also Iran, North Korea and China will be seeing what is going on and soon they will be thinking the west is weak; And the will be thinking and saying things like, just look what the west did when Russia was calling out their bluff about red lines in Ukraine ... The time is now, we have our chance to stick it to them !!!!
And then we will see China take Taiwan (so no more silicon-chips for you ) and then we will see Iran take Israel (middle east oil all gone and the middles east up in fire ) And when North Korea goes into South no more south Korea as north will take it over as well !!
SO YOUR OPTIONS ARE ,TO TAKE A STAND NOW OR LATER !!

@ Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...

The aid is not free cash it’s the equivalent of those dollars in hardware !!!
its hardware from old equipment of military stock piles that will have been sent or about to be sent for destruction and will have been replaced anyway as its shelf life storage l is over and out dated or about to be over date !! (this way US saves money by not having to safely destroy those weapons only replace them )
The military equipment has been pulled directly from existing U.S. military old SURPLUS inventory that has a shelf date that soon will be past that date ; and will be needing replacement anyway this way US. gets to restock its military equipment with more newer updates versions and send the soon to by out of date to Ukraine and as a bonus US. military saves the money it will have used for destroying the old military equipment as well !!
Also it is true other parts of the Aid / funding will be used to purchase new weapons and this will be sent to Ukraine; but all sales must be and will be bought from the US industrial complex industry and American manufacturers; this supports local American communities in states (over 33 states ) that produce weapon's this helps marginalized communities and sates get a solid cash influx / bust into their local economy and supports jobs within the factors that will be producing those new weapons.-.
(So the money doesn't go into the pockets of Zelensky and friends thats a myth pumped out by Russian propaganda and regurgitated by "pathetic tools" of the kremlin like TuckerCarlsen or MUSK )
Members of Congress have questioned how closely the U.S. is tracking its aid to Ukraine to ensure that it is not subject to fraud or ending up in the wrong hands.
The Pentagon’s inspector general told lawmakers at a hearing, that his office has found no evidence of such corruption or wrongdoing, but cautioned that investigations are only in their early stages.
The Pentagon’s inspector general also informed the Members of Congress that despite claims to the contrary, the United States is not sending bags of unaccounted-for cash to Ukraine. Most US contributions go to military aid, including weapons and equipment made by American defense contractors who employ communities across the country. When the United States spends money to purchase military equipment as part of an international aid package, the materiel may go overseas, but the money and jobs stay in America. Similarly, appropriations for the US Foreign Military Financing program provide incentives for NATO allies and partners to secure US-made capabilities. This translates to more business for US companies and sustained employment for rural communities in which they operate.
For instance, Lockheed Martin, maker of the HIMARS—which has been central to Ukraine’s counteroffensive—plans to increase its Camden, Arkansas facility’s workforce by 20%, and recently announced increased profit projections through the end of the year. Similarly, General Dynamics has committed to building new production facilities in Mesquite, Texas, bringing money and jobs to the region. Change like this takes place only when the Pentagon sends strong and stable market signals to the defense industry, giving it the confidence to expand and hire.
In short, the numbers suggest that continued support for Ukraine is a win-win for Ukrainians and the American people.
The United States can continue to defend stability and democratic governance across the globe, while at the same time boosting American industrial output and advancing US economic interests.

NATO is a "threat" to Russia in the sense that a cop on the beat is a "threat" to a mugger. NATO wouldn't have been formed in the first place if Stalin had not rejected the US offer of the same Marshall Plan which so benefited the rest of Europe everywhere it was instituted, Russia / Stalin was instead bent every effort to CONQUER and dominate European neighboring states and expand Russia, borders with its concept of "sphere of influence " over the near abroad..
We need to understand that Russia didn't come to encompass 11% of earth's land area, by being invaded by other countries; Russia did so by invading far more other countries, than it was itself invaded by ; Remember Russia is a Federation of states , and the Russian part of that federation is the smallest state in the "Russian federation.".
(Russia with a total area of 17,098,242 Km² (6,601,665 mi²) and a land area of 16,376,870 Km² (6,323,142 mi²), equivalent to 11% of the total world's landmass )
In history MANY and ALL countries have been invaded frequently by their neighbors throughout all of history. Was Russia invaded more than France? Germany? Poland in HISTORY ? NO IT WAS NOT !!!
So this acting the victim, (west always invades Russia act ) when it comes to the west, that Kremlin does all the time, .
This buhhh the evil-west AGGRESSIVE west always invades us always is attacking us Buhhhh; This is why we see western NATO as a danger buhhhh !!!! THIS TYPE OF ACTING THE VICTIM is absolute and nothing more and less than Kremlin BS it is done so you overlook the fact that it is Russia that invades other not vise versa and to pull the smoke over your eyes !!! ..
Do i need to mention all of eastern Europe was under brutal Russian regime, hegemonic control for over 50 years .. ?? And that historical Russia has invaded and occupied way more of its neighbors then vice versa !
Russia says NATO is using Ukraine as a nuke base and therefore letting Ukraine into NATO is to close to Russian borders!!
But if you take a closer look at the argument it turns out to be absolute BS argument (even before Finland and Sweden join NATO ) because NATO is and was already 150 km away to St Petersburg via Estonia and 500 km via Latvia to Moscow (there is about 800 km from Ukraine to the Russia's capital so how is NATO getting closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO !!) the concerns of the Russian Federation regarding the possible admission of the Ukraine to NATO is merely a cover for a fear of democracy developing on its frontiers and therefor a threat to Putin dictator like leadership the modern authoritarian obsession with civil society repression dates back to how all NON-rational agent/ or rational being like exs KGB Putin is and how this paranoid ppl like him think and acts in other words "You Can’t Assume a Nut Will Act Rationally," and a nut that is manic-paranoid and narcissistic like KGB Putin is a special kind of nut !! .
The argument of Moscow that Ukraine borders are dangerously close to Russia and its capital so Ukraine cannot join NATO It is absolutely irrelevant in this day and age!!!
Ukraine has no intrs, in becoming a hegemony Puppet on a string country of Moscow geopolitical needs in fact Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation and Ukraine is no exception to that rule .
So why is this NUKE platform country argument by Moscow a BS agreement in this day and age ??
Well becouse Russia has also had and always will have at all times some Russian nuclear submarines plant off the cost of western nations coastlines armed with nuclear warheads YES !! they are load up with tactical nukes missiles and those subs are there 365 days a year undetected and reddy to launch the nukes or/and even drones with small nukes from there lunch base platforms ( Russia has its subs on nations porch as Putin likes to say)
So Putin's reasons are weak to say the least its a BS argument becouse NATO also has nuclear subs of the Russian consline so like Putin also says they (Nato ) has nukes on our porch (on the Russian borders act act ) of our beloved city of Moscow and Russia we need to react !.. .
And Exactly JUST LIKE RUSSIA can and do have nuclear submarines (with nuclear warheads) plant of the cost of western nations coastlines; SO DO WE HAVE and the west do it as well we plant our subs of the Russian coastline; Because the UK , France and USA has the same capabilities and their tactical nuke subs are planted, just out of Murmansk and in the Baltic Sea and in the north pole and the Baltics sea !!!! Don't forget Estonian is only 150 away from St Petersburg if in the baltic sea or near Finland we are talking 2OO km its nothing !!
SO LIKE I SAY THE ARGUMENT THAT UKRAINE WILL BE USED AS LUNCH PLATFORM FOR NATO IS JUST BS NATO DOES NOT NEED UKRAINE AS A LUNCH PLATFORM !!!
(MAYBE BACK IN THE 60S this argument was a thing bit today with the tech of today it's not an argument anymore ; NOT TODAY )
NATO is not a threat to Russia. Putin is using it as a bogeyman to distract from the poor living standard. Every Muscovite gets fed their daily dose of "Geopolitika", "Nuclear Weapons", "Russia Superpower" Putin the strong leader , US weak and so on and so on ... . It numbs the hunger and the cold for the average Russian with his Bolshevik mindset and sorrow of the loose of USSR superpower status .
And her is a thought .. if and before someone comes with the Cuba nukes back in the 60s argument let me tell you this it was back in the cold war a was another time all together and The main difference is that Castro invited Russia with their missiles to Cuba to threaten the west while Ukraine’s young democracy has been annexed by clandestine operation and clandestine invading force in 2014 and a continuons secondary invasion overtly in 2022 by a nuke power Russia and Ukraine is trying to protect itself from Putin’s dictatorship and aggressive actions of war, that has already killed 50000 Ukrainians forced 3.8 mill internally displaced Ukrainian refugee fleeing Russian aggression running away from Russian bombs that are hitting their city homes and schools ; (so this Cuba argument falls dead in the water as there is no resemblance to the situation at all )

The western feminist females have been supporting (for their own anti male agenda) for years this transgender and Lgbtq ++ movement!!! and females have been using the Lgbtq ++ movement as a sledgehammer to hammer down on masculinity and demonize the heterosexual males (and especially white heterosexual males) and they have been doing it for years pushing masculinity into the abyss!!!
But now those strong independent queens, those girl-bosses types of "I don't need a man" , Me woman strong hear my roar ! , Are getting all buhhhh cry baby about this situation, because their own Frankenstein monster is coming back full circle to eat its own promoters that are the female feminists , the Frankenstein monster are taking-over female sports outsmarting females in feminist sphere Their own Frankenstein creation they themselves promoted and helped bring forwarded has now turned on them.
But those strong independent females have for years been more than happy to using the transgender Lgbtq ++ Frankenstein monster, against heterosexual males to demonize heterosexual males; What western females have been calling toxic masculinity (basically means anything male and manly that they dont like ) ...
But now monster they was gladly unleashing unto others have come come full circle , the rooster have come home to roost , and it’s bitting them in their own backside!!! And now they are SOooo upset why NO one is helping them fight this transgender Lgbtq ++ Frankenstein monster the monster they themselves helped to unleash on men !! ... (where are all the white knights in shining armor to defend my innocent maiden honor thy cry ?)
Well you made your bed now you sleep in it honey , after all you are a strong independent women you don't need a man , and anything a man can do a woman can do as good or even better at-least that what you have been saying all this time ..
So now you have the chance to prove it!!
You go girl !!!

War started with Crimea and it ends with reuniting with ukraine !!!
Election under a gun with tanks and thugs standing over the voting boxes is not an election it can not be a free and legal election...
Referendums vía gun point isn't a referendum, it's racketeering. Something that Russia knows oh so very well how to do.
if I had 20,000 Russian soldiers pointing their weapons at me when I was standing at the voting-box I would vote Yes in a referendum as well THAT DOES NOT make it legal
RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination like a type of 2nd class country; that is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country, that indirectly will serving the kremlin's geopolitical agenda, and so Kremlin, the RuZZians and Putin can feel better about themselves ...
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.
Summary: former states of the USSRs are now full independent states and their borders are defined and recognized by not just the international community , the UN and intr. org. treaties and agreements but when it comes to UKRAINE Russia itself RECOGNIZED Ukraines borders and territory in the 1991 ( Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords ) and in 1994 with the Budapest Memorandum and Russian back in 1991 recognized all the other internal borders of the USSR as international boards that now defines all the other different countries sovereign statehood . Those borders Russia recognized when it came to Ukraine clearly puts Crimea within Ukrainian territorial control . Period.

UKRAINE SHOULD REARM WITH NUKS!
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , because Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !! AND LOOK NOW !! where is the force to uphold that guarantee of Ukraine sovereignty ????
It is clear that Ukraine, must and should start secretly rearming itself with nukes and when Ukraine has done that, point those nukes at everyone at Russia , Europa (UK, France and Germany) and The USA — And when all is ready and the nukes are operational and secured and when the time is right Kyiv should then and only then tell the world that Ukraine once more has now got a nuclear capability and is now a power to be reckoned with, because Ukraine has now remilitarize itself and acquired a nuclear platform with nuclear warheads and weapons.
This way anyone, be it Russia or anyone else, will think twice about taking a fight to Ukraine ever again; And when at a time of Ukraines own choosing in the fullest of time and at the earliest convenience for Ukraine Kyiv should take conventional military actions to take back control of its own borders, land and territory in East Ukraine and Crimea !!! But only when Ukraine has got its hands on a nuclear delivery system /platform and warheads, then and only then should Ukraine, send in all of its conventional armed forces into East Ukraine and Crimea and reestablish control and liberate its own territories that are today occupied by Russia..
As we all know....
The true power of the nukes are NOT that they can wipe out cities, NO the true power of the nukes, are that they give those nations that have them in their arsenal a sort of triumph card in the geopolitical game , a special kind/ type of freedom to do as they more or less want to do, a type of Carte Blanche, without having to worry about other nations hastily and aggressive jumping to military action against you for whatever reason they find fit ..(take a look at Russia it gets away with everything Russia gets away with things other nations will never get aways with, becouse it has nukes )
FACT : No country in history that has acquired nukes in its military arsenal has ever been invaded or annexed by another country
FACT : No country in history that has nukes has ever had its territories infringe upon EVER!! ..
FACT : The ONLY nation that did end up giving away their nuclear capabilities (Nuclear weapons systems ) has ended up being (as the only country ever) attacked and has seen there ppl. killed their lands invaded and occupied and parts of their land stolen and annexed by Russia (East Ukraine and Crimea )
FACT : No nation that has nukes has ever be attacked or militarily punished or threatened by another nation for committing any illegal actions including like Russia has done War crimes , Genocide , Braking international laws, Committing acts of terrorism , illegally invading other nations etc etc.....(The nuclear power that is Russia gets away with all those above illegal activities all the time with impunity )
FACT: If you have nukes no other nation / country even the ones that themselves have nukes will (or ever has ) gone to and or has engage into a full out military invasion or conflict with any other nation/ country that also has nukes in its military arsenal ..
There is 3 Powerful Lessons to be Learned here:
1. If you have nukes never ever give them up ..
2. If you have nukes you never get invaded..
3. if you have nukes you can more or less do what ever you want..

NO SUCH THING AS A PALESTINIAN IT WAS MADE UP BY ARAFAT JUST LIKE THE FAKE HISTORY OF WHAT ARAFAT CALLED THE COUNTY OF PALESTINE !!
Arab Historian Admits there are No Palestinian People ..
When the Ottoman rule ended, there was no Palestinian national identity or political borders. It was all made up later. Arabs themselves say so, but the west isn’t listening..
One of the biggest, most stubborn and costliest untruths of our time is the notion that the jihad waged by Arabs in the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Gaza against Jews in Israel is a national struggle of an indigenous people for independence.
No matter the facts, the lie persists to the tune of billions of dollars in international aid and political prestige, which makes it increasingly difficult for anyone involved to admit that the whole thing is nothing more than a propaganda stunt.
Unlike the fairy tale of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’, everyone pretends to be blind and deaf when it is pointed out that the emperor is naked. In fact, if the emperor himself were to stand up and yell, ‘I am naked folks, go home!’ the crowd would go on complimenting his non-existent garments.
Last week the naked emperor did just that:
“Before the Balfour Promise, when the Ottoman rule [1517-1917] ended, Palestine’s political borders as we know them today did not exist, and there was nothing called a Palestinian people with a political identity as we know today”, historian Abd Al-Ghani admitted on official PA TV on November 1.
“Since Palestine’s lines of administrative division stretched from east to west and included Jordan and southern Lebanon, and like all peoples of the region [the Palestinians] were liberated from the Turkish rule and immediately moved to colonial rule, without forming a Palestinian people’s political identity.”
In 1917, says this Arab historian on official PA TV, there was no such thing as a Palestinian people. This statement amounts to saying that the whole narrative of an ‘indigenous Palestinian people’ was made up at a later point in time.
As Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad speaking on Al-Hekma TV said in March 2012: “Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians…”
There is a reason, why the “Palestinian National Museum” is empty of historical artifacts.
The Arab historian’s admission corroborates the observations of 19th-century travelers to the region, who notably had no specific political agenda when they visited, unlike so many visitors to Israel today:
”Outside the gates of Jerusalem, we saw indeed no living object, heard no living sound”, wrote French poet Alphonse de Lamartine about his visit in 1835.
”The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is that of a body of population.” wrote British Consul James Finn in his 1857 description of the Holy Land.
”Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that withered its fields and fettered its energies. …Palestine is desolate and unlovely….It is a hopeless dreary, heartbroken land.” wrote American author Mark Twain in his description of his visit in 1867.
Nevertheless, the Arab propaganda machine gets away with publishing fantastic falsehoods, such as this one on the Palestinian Authority’s tourism website: “With a history that envelops more than one million years, Palestine has played an important role in human civilization. The crucible of prehistoric cultures, it is where settled society, the alphabet, religion, and literature developed and would become a meeting place for diverse cultures and ideas that shaped the world we know today”.
The international community not only approves of these falsehoods, it happily pays for them.
Historian Abd Al-Ghani’s declaration on PA TV was a historic, highly newsworthy admission that ought to have made the headlines everywhere, considering the importance the issue is given by political leaders, diplomats, the media and other establishment figures all over the world.
After all, if the Arabs themselves admit that the ‘Palestinian people’ is an invented entity, should not the consequence be that the countless UN projects, billions of dollars in international aid, and the endless campaigns against Israel cease and be used for more noble purposes?
The answer is yes, but no one is paying attention.

The name Kievan Rus comes from the word Russ in Old Norwegian and in old Finnish means rowing as the vikings wold row their longships down the rivers and fjords the Finnish tribes call the vikings Russ that is where the name comes from even today in the Finnish language they call Sweden ( the country ) Ruotsi meaning the land of the Russ in other worlds the land of the vikings aka Scandinavians..as back in the 800s there was only Scandinavian with different small viking kingdoms..Not Norway or Sweden as we know it today
AS ANYONE WITH A BRAIN CAN SEE NOT ONE DROP OF RUSSIAN BLOOD NO SUCH THING AS A RUSSIAN CONNECTION TO YAROSLAV THE WISE SO HOW CAN MOSCOW CLAIM ANYTHING ??
Let's look at YAROSLAV THE WISE family history
Yaroslav the Wise mother's name was ROGNEDA,,(Norwegian Viking name Ragnhild )
ROGNEDA (962–1002) is the Slavic name for Ragnhild, Rogneda Ingeborg Yngling Princess of Norway (Norwegian) Birth: 948 Oslo, Norway Death: 976 (28)
ROGNEDA of Polatsk was the daughter of RAGNVALD a Viking who came from Scandinavia (Norway) and established himself at Polatsk in the mid-10th century.
ROGNEDA belonged to the Ynglings Royal family of Norway. see link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rogneda_of_Polotsk
ROGNEDA Married VLADIMIR THE GREAT one of their sons was YAROSLAV THE WISE.
ROGNEDA and VLADIMIR THE GREAT had several children. The four sons were Yaroslav the Wise, Vsevolod, Mstislav of Chernigov, and Izyaslav of Polotsk.
VLADIMIR THE GREAT father (Yaroslav the Wise great grandfather) was IGOR OF KIEV ( Norwegian name Ingvar the Rus) Prince of the Rus'
See link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Igor_of_Kiev
Who was YAROSLAV THE WISE great grandfather it was IGOR OF KIEV ...
IGOR OF KIEV...(Ingvar the Rus) was a Varangian (Viking) ruler of Kievan Rus' Reign 914–945 Coronation 914
IGOR OF KIEV Father name was RURIK (Viking)
(Religion Norse Pagan)
IGOR OF KIEV Mother was Olga ( Saint Olga) (Viking )
(Religion Christian ) Saint Olga
Dynasty Rurik Dynasty
Religion Norse Pagan
IGOR OF KIEV Full name was Ingvar Roriksen (a Viking )
Igor ( Igor', Ukrainian ) is a given name derived from the Scandinavian name Ingvar that was brought to ancient Kievan Rus' by the Vikings. Igor, son of Rurik, conquered Kiev.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaroslav_the_Wise
The name Kievan Rus comes from the word Russ in Old Norwegian and in old Finnish means rowing as the Vikings would row their longships down the rivers and fjords the Finnish tribes call the Vikings Russ that is where the name comes from even today in the Finnish language they call Sweden ( the country ) Ruotsi meaning the land of the Russ in other worlds the land of the Vikings aka Scandinavians..as back in the 800s there was only Scandinavian with different small Viking kingdoms..Not Norway or Sweden as we know it today
ON A SIDE NOTE Vladimir the Great (aka (Saint) Vladimir of Kiev ) the father of Yaroslav the Wise.. WHO WAS HE ...?? see under ..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vladimir_the_Great
Well Vladimir the Great, father was prince Sviatoslav of the Rurik dynasty was also a Viking, and how do we know this .. .
After the death of Prince Sviatoslav father in 972 (prince Sviatoslav ), who was then just Sviatoslav prince of Novgorod, was forced to flee to his other relatives in Scandinavia he did this in 976 after his brother Yaropolk had murdered his other brother Oleg and conquered Kiev Rus'.
When Vladimir the Great Prince was In Scandinavia ( then only known as Sviatoslav prince of Novgorod ), he with the help from his Norwegian Viking relatives (NOTICE HIS NORWEGIAN RELATIVES ) Ladejarl Håkon Sigurdsson, ruler of Norway, (NOTICE RULER OF NORWAY ) assembled a Varangian (Viking ) army and together with Håkon Sigurdsson, Sviatoslav prince of Novgorod (aka Vladimir the Great father and Vladimir the wise grandfather )
reconquered Novgorod from his brother Yaropolk. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haakon_Sigurdsson
By 980, Sviatoslav (aka Vladimir the Great father and Vladimir the wise grandfather) had consolidated the Kievan realm from modern-day Belarus, Russia, and Ukraine to the Baltic Sea and had solidified the frontiers against incursions of Bulgarian, Baltic tribes and Eastern nomads.
Sviatoslav son named Vladimir the Great, (originally a follower of old northern Slavic/ Viking paganism), converted to Christianity in 988 and Christianized the Kievan Rus and had a son and he named him Yaroslav the Wise.

So like I have said as anyone can see, not one drop of Russian blood NO such thing as a Russian connection to YAROSLAV THE WISE so how can MOSCOW CLAIM ANYTHING ??
Also let's not forget that MOSCOW DID NOT shoe it is ugly head in history before AFTER 1147 and KYIV was founded back in the late 800s so there is a 350 years time difference in the TIMELINE between CITY AND NATIONS!..

PRINCE VOLODYMYR WAS NEVER RUSSIAN !!!
IT IS A MYTH RUSSIA NEVER SHOWED ITS UGLY FACE BEFORE 1721 AFTER IT WAS PROCLAIMED BY PETTER AND THE CAPITAL OF THIS NEW NATION WAS ST. PETERSBURG..
Peter did this after Treaty of Frederiksborg (1720), and the Russo-Swedish Treaty of Nystad (1721) and after the battle of Poltava...That is when Russia became Russia.. Another thing is what we today call Russians are not Russians as they are not Slavic like Ukrainians or Polish people read on to get the facts,,,,,,
LET ME GO MORE INTO THE FACTS
But first lets take a look at USA ..... The United States as a nation began with the signing of the Declaration of Independence in 1776 - as well as a century and a half earlier, when a group of English Puritans landed on Plymouth Rock in 1620.
All nations have a story to tell how they came into being. Some are rooted in ancient history while others, including numerous new nations that arose on the ruins of European colonial expansion, tie their emergence to more recent events. But whether mythical or historical, those origins are always connected to the land those nations inhabit.
Not so Russia. It may be the only major nation to locate its origins in a foreign country. Every Russian school kid learns that his country’s history began on the banks of the Dnipro, in Kyiv, the capital of Ukraine.
It is as if Americans had decided to trace their history back in the time of William the Conqueror in 1066, War of the Roses or Edward The Confessor in English history ha ha ha ha ....
This may seem like a minor thing, but it explains a great deal in the average Russian’s attitude toward Ukrainians. If Russia is a direct descendant of historic Kyivan Rus, how can another nation equally trace its origins to it - a nation, moreover, still occupying the same territory?
Vladimir Putin recently declared that Ukrainians and Russians are “one folk” - meaning, of course, that Ukrainians are Russian. An extraordinary number of his countrymen share this belief. Imagine a prime minister of the United Kingdom insisting that Americans are not a nation but merely Brits with funny accents. But it is even more ridiculous than that: it’s as though the Italian president would lay claim on Spain - or one of Spain’s former colonies in Latin America - asserting that the Spanish language is a bastardized form of Italian.
Russia’s attitude to Ukraine and things Ukrainian reflects deeply ingrained imperial complexes, revealing that, while the Soviet Empire collapsed in 1991, the Russian Empire still lingers in the minds of the citizens of the Russian Federation. And, one of the strangest things this past year has been the number people with Ukrainian surnames, many of them also born in Ukraine but now living in Russia, who spew hatred for their native land.
What we know today to be Russians are nothing more than Finnish nomadic tribes that assimilated with the Mongolian horde in the 1200 They are not Slavic people like Ukrainians or Polish people even if they claim to be, and therefore have no real claim to Slavic lands or history .. But descendants from finish nomadic tribes that assimilated with the Mongolian.
The Russians brainwashed just continue to brainwash everyone, when they assert that Kyivan Rus was the cradle of three sibling nations – Russians, Ukrainians and Belarus; and that because the Russians are “older brothers”, they have the right to the legacy of Kyivan Rus. To this day, Russian historians and officials make use of this woeful lie, which is repeated by Putin in his propaganda today .
Here are the facts:
At the time of the Kyivan Empire there was no mention of a Moscow nation in history Russia was not a part of history before 1721 when it was proclaimed be peter the grate It is well known that Moscow was created in 1277 as a subservient vassal region or ‘ulus’ to the Golden Horde, established by the Khan Mengu-Timur. By that time, Ukrainians city of Kiev and the Ukrainians peoples the Kyivan Rus had existed for more than 300 years.
There are no indications of any connection of Ukrainians peoples the Kyivan Rus with the Finnish ethnic groups in the land of ‘Moksel’ what today we know as Russia or the later of the Moscow principality with the Principality of Kyivan Rus up until the XVI century. At the time when the Ukrainians peoples (Kyivan Rus ) had officially accepted Christianity, the Finn tribes in ‘Moksel’ today's Russia was still was living in a semi-primitive nomadic state.
How can anyone speak of ‘an older brother’ when that ‘older brother’ did not first appear until centuries after Rus-Ukrainians? He has no moral right to call himself an ‘older brother’, nor to dictate how people are to live, nor to force his culture, language, and world views.

Russians er nothing more then confused Mongolians that must have some sort of dimwit Syndrome thinking they are from Ukrainian Kiev Russ and Slavic background..
The DNA study of today's so called Russians shows that the historical facts are that Russians are Mongoloid / Finno-Ugric descendants and NOT Slavic like Ukrainians and polish people ...
The DNA evidence proves that Russians with out a doubt are Mongoloid / Finno-Ugric descendants ..
Mongolian blood in Russians see link
https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=10&v=VmiYqpT0zrE
THE R1a explanation for dummy's Russians have is R1a-Z93 and is the main Asian branch of R1a. R1a1a1b2 (R-Z93) (Asia) This large subclade appears to encompass most of the R1a1a found in Asia R-Z93* or R1a1a1b2* (R1a1a2* in Underhill (2014)) is most common (>30%) in the South Siberian Altai region of Russia, cropping up in Kyrgyzstan (6%) and in all Iranian populations (8%)
Western and Northern European and also western Ukrainians have R1a -Z284 falls under the root R1a1a1* (M417), So this proves Russians are Asian NOT Europeans..
Russians er nothing more then Mongolians with Down Syndrome thinking they are from Kiev Russ and Slavic background when the DNA study of today's so called Russians shows that the historical facts are they they are Mongoloid / Finno-Ugric descendents and NOT Slavic...
The Mongolian Y-DNA (paternal) haplogroup N -Z93 and is the main Asian and its offshoots are very common and the dominant gen among Russian men.
Studies have found the ethnic Russian frequency of haplogroup N1c to be high with an average of 46.7% of Russians in the "Russia-DNA Project" , The characteristic genetic marker of peoples with Uralic background is haplogroup N1c-Tat (Y-DNA). Samoyedic peoples mainly have more N1b-P43 than N1c. Haplogroup N originated in the northern part of China in 20,000–25,000 years BP and spread to north Eurasia, through Siberia to Northern Europe. Subgroup N1c1 is frequently seen in non-Samoyedic peoples, N1c2 in Samoyedic peoples. In addition, haplogroup Z (mtDNA), found with low frequency in Saami, Finns, and Siberians, is related to the migration of people speaking Uralic languages will also find a small percent of R1a1a1g2.

LET ME GO MORE INTO THE ISSUE AND FACTS ..
The Vikings, the Rus’ & Kiev — the Entangled History of Russia and Ukraine
Stepping away for a moment from the unfolding current events in the Ukraine and Russia, it might be worthwhile to look at the history of the region, which was shaped by the arrival of merchant adventurers rowing long ships called Vikings by the Scandinavians and called Rus by the Finish tribs .Take a look at the www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varangians
One of the most well know links to this Viking / Ukrainian Kyiv Russ link is Elisiv of Kiev. Elisaveta Yaroslavna of Kiev (Norwegian: Ellisif or Elisiv), (1025 – c. 1067), was a Princess of Kiev and Queen Consort of King Harald III of Norway
Elisaveta was the daughter of the Grand Prince of Kievan Rus, Yaroslav the Wise and his consort Princess Ingegerd Olofsdotter of Sweden, the daughter of Swedish King Olof Skötkonung and Estrid of the Obotrites .
Elisaveta was the sister of Anastasia of Kiev who married the future Andrew I of Hungary, Anne of Kiev who married Henry I of France and possibly of Agatha, wife of Edward the Exile Her brothers included Vladimir of Novgorod, Iziaslav I of Kiev, Sviatoslav II of Kiev , Vsevolod I, Prince of Kiev and Igor Yaroslavich.
During the winter of 1043–44, Elisaveta was married to Prince Harald Sigurdsson of Norway. Harald had left Norway in 1030 after having participated in the Battle of Stiklestad on the side of his half-brother, King Olav II of Norway. Harald had since then served under the protection of her father as well as that of the Byzantine monarch.
Elisaveta was the addressee of Harald's surviving poems where he lamented her suggested lack of affection towards him (no implications about their actual affections can be derived, as this might well be a poetic cliche). In 1045, she followed Harald to Norway, where he became co-king with his nephew, King Magnus the Good. In Norway, Elisaveta was known as Queen Elisiv... In 1066, Harald invaded England, where he was killed in the Battle of Stamford Bridge. Tradition says that Elisiv and her daughters followed Harald to England, where Maria died, as it was said, at the news of her father's death. Afterward Elisiv and her second daughter, Ingegerd, returned to Norway with the Norwegian fleet. Elisiv was to have stayed at the Orkney Islands during this trip.
Elisaveta Yaroslavna was part of the Rurik dynasty (by birth) Her Father was Yaroslav I of Kiev Mother Princess Ingegerd Olofsdotter in what today is parts of Sweden and Norway..
Yaroslav relied on the Scandinavian alliance and attempted to weaken the Byzantine influence on Kiev In 1019, Yaroslav married Ingegerd Olofsdotter, a Scandinavian Princess .. In the Saint Sophia's Cathedral in Kiev houses a fresco representing the whole family: Yaroslav, Irene (as Ingegerd was known in Rus), their four daughters and six sons. Yaroslav had three of his daughters married to foreign princes who lived in exile at his court:
Elisaveta Yaroslavna of Kiev (Norwegian: Ellisif or Elisiv), (1025 – c. 1067), was a Princess of Kiev and Queen Consort of King Harald III of Norway Elisaveta was the related to the Grand Prince of Veliky Novgorod and Kievan Rus, Yaroslav the Wise Elisaveta was the sister of Anastasia of Kiev who married the future Andrew I of Hungary..Her brothers included Vladimir of Novgorod, Iziaslav I of Kiev, Sviatoslav II of Kiev , Vsevolod I, Prince of Kiev and Igor Yaroslavich. During the winter of 1043–44, Elisaveta was married to Prince Harald Sigurdsson of Norway. ( In Norway, Elisaveta was known as Queen Elisiv.) See link https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elisiv_of_Kiev
As with so much of history known as the Viking age, it began with the Vikings in period A.D. 793–1066 historians tend to agree with the Primary Chronicle that these Scandinavians founded Kievan Rus' in the 880s and gave their name to the land. Many Russian scholars are opposed to this theory of Germanic influence on the Rus' (people) and have suggested alternative scenarios for this part of Eastern European history.. This is because of the falsification of history done by Catherine the great with something called the Catherine chronicles In 1792, 'Catherine's falsification of History' saw the light of day. and that is the version Russia likes to present to its self and the world..

THE KIAVAN RUSS AND VIKINGS
The Norse Vikings, from the region that we now call Scandinavia , rowed their long ships deep into the rivers of Central and Eastern Europe; pushing up the Volga, the Dnieper, the Volkhov and the Neva rivers, among others. Using rivers and lakes connected to the Volga, these Vikings traded as far as Iran. On a separate route on the Dnieper River, the Vikings traveled as far as Greece.

Norwegian Vikings founded Kiev SO IT WAS NOT THE RUSSIANS LIKE PUTIN SAYS !!....
Kiev's Viking Heritage https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvE9UPu-3kI
Grand Prince Yaroslav the Wise, whose wife Ingegerd was from Swedish / Norwegian royalty
The first half of 1031 the Viking King Harald and his men were welcomed by Grand Prince Yaroslav the Wise, whose wife Ingegerd was a distant relative of King Harald of Norway.
They were called the Varangians by the Greeks and Eastern Slavs. The Finns called them the Rus‘ which meant “men who row.”
In 862 the Viking chieftain Rurik made Kiev, a into a viking trading port and integrated with Slavic tribes this village on the Dnieper became his new capital. The kindom he established became known as the “land of the Rus’.” (Later, 19th century historians would dub the kingdom the “Kievan Rus.”) The Ruriks Kievan Rus kingdom lasted for close to 400 years before the invasion of the Mongul hordes.
Russia stole the name Rus from the real Rus’ aka Ukrainians Kiev Rus as the Kievan Rus kingdom was literally born in Kiev and started by a viking called Rurk . Now, as the Russian Army is poised on the borders of Ukraine and the Ukrainian Army is taking orders from the capitol in Kiev, both sides continue to play their roles in their long and history, which began, more or less with the Viking Rurik.
But only one nation is the true ancestor of the Kievan Rus kingdom and that is TO DAYS Ukrainians.
Russians need to study history and stop believe the falsification of Ukrainian and Russian history and look at the time line and facts..
UKRAINIAN NATION has been around since 898. In the 11th century, Kievan Rus' aka Ukraine was, geographically, the largest state in Europe Also Ukrainian Cossack had its own Rada (parliament / government) and was self governing until 1783 when Catharine sent her lover Potemkin to annex Cossack Ukrainian lands..
First of all Russia as a state never showed its ugly head to the world before 1721 when Peter proclaimed a new nation and a new capital for the new nation and he called it Russia...
Peter did this after Treaty of Frederiksborg (1720), and the Russo-Swedish Treaty of Nystad (1721) and after the battle of Poltava...
On July 27 every year Kyiv celebrates the anniversary of when Kyivan Rus was baptized by Prince Volodymyr the Great in 988.
In reaction, Vladimir Legoyda, head of the information department of the Russian Orthodox Church, criticized Ukraine’s attempts to call Prince Volodymyr the Great the “baptizer of Ukraine and a local leader.”
The medieval Principality of Moscow wouldn’t be founded until nearly 300 later. So if Kyiv was baptizes by Prince Volodymyr the Great in 988 and The medieval Principality of Moscow did not show its ugly head before 300 years later how can Moscow and Russia clam Ukraine and Kiev never existed hahahaha
Before Peter Moscow and Novgorod and other city's was principality's or city sates if you like and the most known was the Grand Duchy of Moscow From 1283–1547 Grand Principality of Moscow members citys of the Grand Principality was the citys of Novgorod, Moscow,rayzan ,suzdal ,vologoda..
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grand_Duchy_of_Moscow
1547–1721 Tsardom of Muscovy
In 1648 under the Tsardom of Muscovy the Ukrainian leader, Bohdan Khmelnytsky, offered to ally Ukraine with the Russian tsar, Aleksey I. Aleksey's acceptance of this offer, which was ratified in the Treaty of Pereyaslav in 1654 This was not Ukraine or Bohdan Khmelnytsky, offering it them self to Russia this was an agreement that both independent nations will go together and fight the Polish that was at the time invading Ukraine and Russia...and nothing more than that. In this agreement the Cossacks also accepted to look upon the tsar as the protecting monarch and did pay some small money for the help and alliance in fighting the Polish..
But this was not giving up Ukrainian lands to the tsar nor did they give up their own Cossacks Rada (parliament) or the right to self governance.. It was more a deal like Canada, Australia, Scotland, New Zealand ect ect ect has to day with England they look up on English monarch as their monarch But still are a independent nation and lands with self governance and their own parliaments and leaders of state..
Russian Empire 1721–1917 (when Peter proclaimed a new nation called Russia )
The Russian Empire (Pre-reform Russian orthography: Россійская Имперія, Modern Russian: Российская империя, translit: Rossiyskaya Imperiya) was a state that existed from 1721 until overthrown by the short-lived liberal February Revolution in 1917.
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_Empire
Also Ukrainian Cossack had its own Rada (parliament / government) and was self governing until 1783 when Catharine sent her lover Potemkin to annex Cossack Ukrainian lands..
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catherine_the_Great#Reign_.281762.E2.80.931796.29
The lands was under occupation until 1917 bolshevik revolution until 1991
So based on this facts the Russia state has only had annexed control in Ukraine for 134 years That is fare less then what all Russians think
In the 11th century, Kievan Rus' aka Ukraine was, geographically, the largest state in Europe, becoming known in the rest of Europe as Ruthenia (the Latin name for Rus'), especially for western principalities of The name "Ukraine", meaning "in-land" or "native-land" usually interpreted as "border-land", first appears in historical documents of 12th century and then on history maps of the 16th century period. Greater Rus'" was used to apply to all the lands ruled by Kyiv, including those that were not just Slavic, but also Uralic in the north-east portions of the state.
So Ukraine and Kyiv is from the 11th century and was self governing until 1783 when Catharine sent her lover Potemkin to annex Cossack Ukrainian lands. and it remand occupied until 1917
www.en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_Ukraine#Kievan_Rus.27
Ukraine has existed more or less as far back as kyiv has been a city..
Ukraine however has from time to time ,also maintained a semi-independent republic in Zaporozhia, and a colony on the Russian frontier in Sloboda Ukraine.
The Battle of Konotop in 1648 took place during the period of Ukrainian history that is generally referred to as the Ruin.
This was the time after the death of Hetman Bohdan Khmelnytsky, during which many power struggles within the Cossack elite took place. Arguably, these power struggles were instigated by The Grand Duchy of Moscow AKA tsardom of Moscow in an effort to undermine the authority of the Cossacks and self governed of the Ukrainian nation and the Ukrainian Cossack state The 1648 Ukrainian Cossack (Kozak) rebellion or Khmelnytsky Uprising, which started an era known as the Ruin The Cossack state, the Cossack Hetmanate, usually viewed as the modern Ukraine and this was why back in 1648 So how can you come up with Ukraine as a state first existed in 1918,__????
Together with a number of other battles between East Slavs, such as Battle of Orsha, the Konotop battle was with a few exceptions an abandoned topic in Russian Imperial and in Soviet historiography. This attitude towards this event is explained by the fact that it dispelled some Russian propaganda positions about the unity of East Slavs, in particular the ones about "eternal friendship of Russian and Ukrainian peoples" and about "natural desire of Ukrainians for union with Russia". For all the skill and the bravery of the Cossacks — especially those defending Konotop — it still remains a bitter victory. A victory that did not have any significant impact on the course of Ukrainian history, where fratricidal war of the Ruin and personal ambitions of treacherous hetmans prevailed. As such, the Konotop battle remains a classic example of the battle and war Russia lost when trying too assert its dominance over Ukraine
Ukraine has never really been Russian.
Any more than Norway is Swedish or Danish just because Norway was forcefully taking into an union with Sweden and Denmark and for some time under Swedish and Danish occupation and rule dose not make Norway into Swedish or Danish lands ...
Norway like Ukraine was just a politically and military occupied nation for some time in its history that's all..
Norway has been from time to time under Swedish and Danish occupation and even some Norwegian city's was built by Swedish and Danish occupier's.... But that doesn't mean that Sweden or Denmark owns Norway or that Norwegians are Swedish or Danish ANY MORE THEN Russia owns Ukraine and Ukrainians are Russians ....!!!

Norway has been from time to time under Swedish and Danish occupation and even some Norwegian city's was built by Swedish and Danish occupier's....

MAGA: = Moscow Agent (‘Krasnov’) Governing America
Ukraine had an absolutely identical situation in Ukraine, when the Russian agent Yanukovych won the presidential elections back in 2010.
The fact that he was recruited by the Russian security service the FSB has already been well documented at this point (he is now living in MOSCOW with 40 billion dollars of stolen Ukrainian state funds.
The people of Ukraine, were absolutely confused. when Putins boy Yanukovych took office ; when they did not know what to do. they were apathetic and had no leaders.
When Yanukovych got into office he was fast to put other Russian agents in all the key gov. positions. Just so you understand, Yanukovych put a guy who had Russian citizenship in the post of Minister of Defense of Ukraine. Yanukovych and his people destroyed the Ukrainian army by systematic dismantling and shutting down departments; and in 4 years, stole the country's budget. Because of this, Ukraine was absolutely unprepared for the annexation of Crimea and the invasion of Russian "green men" in east Ukraine 2014.
Americans! You are now in the same situation as Ukraine were. Your so-called president is a KGB recruit, agent "Krasnov". This has already been confirmed from various sources. And what he does now confirms it even more. Just look at who he appoints to key positions. How he betrays Ukraine and European allies. How he idolizes Putin. What other signals do you need to start acting?
Trump:
1. Threatens their ex-ally Canada with economic ruin if they don't allow the US to take them over "voluntarily".
2. Threatens Denmark that they will take Greenland from them one way or another because they wants it my precious, so they will haves it.
3. Aligns with dictators including Russia, China and North Korea in a vote against democratic Ukraine, and cuts off support for them while at the same time trying to extort an unreasonable "deal" for a large amount of their natural resources with no guarantees they'll try to get back their land from Russia in return.
4. "Negotiates" behind Ukraine's back with Russia asking them for zero concessions, and then sets up Zelenskyy in an interview complete with the Russian state media in attendance in a way that seems straight out of the CCP's playbook on trying to de-power and twist the narrative on your opponents.
Hang on, are we really surprised that the US is now an ally of Russia given their expansionist, dictator like behavior lately? They're starting to look just as bad as Trump's new buddies.
Europe needs to make a defense alliance's with one for all all for one (an article 5 ) agreement for Europe can call it EATO European Atlantic Treaty organization its that easy !!
Trump is trying to force Ukraine into a capitulation a total surrender ; masquerading as a" PEACE DEAL " its not a peace deal when only one side must give up everything and the other side gets everything it wants ; and it defiantly not a peace deal when one side must give a 3rd party 50% of its natural resources !! This is putting a gun to some head and telling them make the deal becouse either you brains or your signature will be on the document !
Zelenskyy says he is willing to come to an fare agreement but in exchange Ukraine needs solid security guarantees to secure Ukraines sovereignty and safety within its own borders and what has Trump offered of " the Trump security guarantees " he offered that American companies can start up in UKRAINE and that will make Putin (according to the Donald) think twice about attacking Ukraine in the further !!
WOW its was that easy all a long to scare off Putin just send American companies into Ukraine!! LOL .....
That the guarantee!!!! thats what they are now telling Zelenskyy this is what Trump and Vance are trying to sell Zelenskyy this is what they saying is a solid security he can take back to the Ukrainians mothers ; thats what their sons ended up killed for when they so heroically defended their country form Putins aggression ..
WOW thats fantastic then why did they (the US ) send all those weapons in the first place?
US. should have just sent in Microsoft, Ford motor company , Heinz Tomato Ketchup , Coca Cola , Mac Donalds. together with some big boys like ConocoPhillips, Hecla Mining, Chevron and Goldman Sachs and last but not least The Walt Disney Company!!
I hear Mickey Mouse big ears really scares Putin to death -- !!!!
TRUMP AND VANCE ARE TRYING TO PLAY UKRAINIANS FOR FOOLS; AND STEAL UKRAINIANS NATURAL MINERALS, SO WHO IS BEING DISRESPECTFUL HERE !!
FACT In Ukraine there was already American and European interests and massive companies in Ukraine before the war but Putin still invaded; so this is just Trump talking BS to get 50% of Ukraines natural resources for nothing and then turn around and say look what a master deal maker I am the art of the deal !!

THE AID IS NOT 350 BILLION AT ALL THATS A LIE IT IS 120 BILLION (still a lot of money yes ) AND OVER 85 % OF THAT MONEY WAS NOT SENDT TO UKRAINE IT WAS USED TO RESTOCK WITH NEW WEAPONS , REPLACING ITS OWN OUT DATED WEAPONS , THAT SOON WILL HAVE BEEN PASSED ITS SHELF-LIFE ANYWAY; AND IN NEEDS DESPERATE NEED OF DESTRUCTION !!
So the aid Trump is talking about is no where in reality at all it is only in his lying head only !!! There was never 350 Billion there is not 350 billion there is a 120 billion yes but NOT a 350 Billion ..
Also when Trump claims US has sent more than Europe that is wrong as well the EU has sent 135 billion US sent 120 Billion ..
A good eks , is Denmark the tiny country of 6 million, has donated 8.2 billion usd. Compared to Americas contribution of 120 billion, that would be 451 billion or about 4 times as much per capita. So much for US lies and taking credit..
DONT BELEVE ME JUST GOOGLE (‘The actual number is $120B, not $350B’: Rattner debunks Trump’s Ukraine aid claims)
SIDE NOTE Over 130 countries came to the aid of USA on 9/11. Did any one ask to be paid back?
The aid is not free cash it’s the equivalent of those dollars in hardware !!!
its hardware from old equipment of military stock piles that will have been sent or about to be sent for destruction and will have been replaced anyway as its shelf life storage l is over and out dated or about to be over date !! (this way US saves money by not having to safely destroy those weapons only replace them )
The military equipment has been pulled directly from existing U.S. military old SURPLUS inventory that has a shelf date that soon will be past that date ; and will be needing replacement anyway this way US. gets to restock its military equipment with more newer updates versions and send the soon to by out of date to Ukraine and as a bonus US. military saves the money it will have used for destroying the old military equipment as well !!
Also it is true other parts of the Aid / funding will be used to purchase new weapons and this will be sent to Ukraine; but all sales must be and will be bought from the US industrial complex industry and American manufacturers; this supports local American communities in states (over 33 states ) that produce weapon's this helps marginalized communities and sates get a solid cash influx / bust into their local economy and supports jobs within the factors that will be producing those new weapons.-.
(So the money doesn't go into the pockets of Zelensky and friends thats a myth pumped out by Russian propaganda and regurgitated by "pathetic tools" of the kremlin like TuckerCarlsen or MUSK )
Members of Congress have questioned how closely the U.S. is tracking its aid to Ukraine to ensure that it is not subject to fraud or ending up in the wrong hands.
The Pentagon’s inspector general told lawmakers at a hearing, that his office has found no evidence of such corruption or wrongdoing, but cautioned that investigations are only in their early stages.
The Pentagon’s inspector general also informed the Members of Congress that despite claims to the contrary, the United States is not sending bags of unaccounted-for cash to Ukraine. Most US contributions go to military aid, including weapons and equipment made by American defense contractors who employ communities across the country. When the United States spends money to purchase military equipment as part of an international aid package, the materiel may go overseas, but the money and jobs stay in America. Similarly, appropriations for the US Foreign Military Financing program provide incentives for NATO allies and partners to secure US-made capabilities. This translates to more business for US companies and sustained employment for rural communities in which they operate.
For instance, Lockheed Martin, maker of the HIMARS—which has been central to Ukraine’s counteroffensive—plans to increase its Camden, Arkansas facility’s workforce by 20%, and recently announced increased profit projections through the end of the year. Similarly, General Dynamics has committed to building new production facilities in Mesquite, Texas, bringing money and jobs to the region. Change like this takes place only when the Pentagon sends strong and stable market signals to the defense industry, giving it the confidence to expand and hire.
In short, the numbers suggest that continued support for Ukraine is a win-win for Ukrainians and the American people.
The United States can continue to defend stability and democratic governance across the globe, while at the same time boosting American industrial output and advancing US economic interests.

Multiculturalism, feminism, and Marxism that we now are seeing in the west shouldn't come as a surprise at all ..
The Kremlin has used this as a destabilizing tool for years infiltrating educational institutions with leftist propaganda by promoting these Marxist ideas into the western intelligentsia thinking and in the community with the help of labor unions.. The Kremlin has infected this into western society for generations and now we are seeing the effect of it !! The Russian call this form of attack for Active measures...
The point of this is not to make you believe in anything but to create enough doubt, distrust, and confusion within the populous of the western nations that the Kremlin is attacking that the people will start to distrust their own government and media, it is, in other words, the good old game of divide and conquer Kremlin style ..
Also now that they fare liberal left has gong totally bonkers and the West's educational institutions are all full of liberal professors (so job done ) the Kremlin is now shifting its focus so it can maximize the effect of their divide and conquer evil game of the Active measures strategies, by supporting right-wing element's all over the EU, UK , and the USA and every one from internet bloggers to political parties, Milos Zeman, Viktor Orbán and Le Pen in France and other useful dimwits like Pablo Iglesias Turrión from Spain's Podemos political party and Matteo Renzi Prime Minister of Italy and others in high offices in all EU nations; All of them and their political party are receiving indirectly and directly financial and funding from the Kremlin and have close business deals with Russian state companies... and they are all well known to bang the kremlin drums in the EU JUST LIKE Pro-Kremlin Czech president Milos Zeman..
What those guys don't really understand is this all of this comes from the KGBs disinformation handbook from back in the day of the cold war and the Kremlin back then and today uses these conspiracies to discredit the US, and the west to the rest of the world and their own populous ...
Take a look her at the link (Russian: активные мероприятия / Aktivnyye Meropriyatiya) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_measures
Active measure is a Soviet term for the actions of political warfare conducted by the Soviet security services ( KGB )and now used by the Russian security services ( FSB) to influence the course of world events, in the Russian Kremlins favor, this includes but not limited to collecting intelligence and producing "politically correct" assessment of it,, and Active measures range "from media manipulations to special actions involving various degrees of violence".
They included disinformation, propaganda, counterfeiting official documents, assassinations, and political repression, such as penetration into churches, Active measures included the establishment and support of international front organizations (e.g. the World Peace Council); foreign communist, socialist and opposition parties; wars of national liberation in the Third World; and underground, revolutionary, insurgency, criminal, and terrorist groups subversion: active measures to weaken the West, to drive wedges in the Western community alliances of all sorts, particularly NATO, to sow discord among allies, to weaken the United States in the eyes of the people of Europe, Asia, Africa, Latin
America, and thus to prepare the ground in case the war really occurs..
And how do we know that this was and still is run by the Russian Kremlin ???
We know this because we know who Vasili Mitrokhin was .....
And who was he you ask ...
He was a KGB cold war agent that became a defector to the west that took with him KGB files regarding the Active measures programs

BE AWARE GUYS THE RED FLAGS OF A LOW VALUE FEMALES (mostly feminists ) AND HOW THEIR TACTICS TO CONTROL A DEBATE AND YOU
1. Shame tactic - exs . make you feel below her like your not a man that can handle a strong woman like me or you want a virgin because you can't control a experienced woman.. or you want a girl because your to weak to hand a "real woman" etc etc
2. Insult tactic - speak with scorn. Accuse you of being misogynistic. (when they have no clue what that means). and using other buzzwords like chauvinist and mansplaining or says something like, you just come across as having low level smalldick energy,
3. Guilt tactic - making someone guilty to make them to do something like you should pay for a woman to show her she is valued a real man will have paid for the date .
4. Need to be right - argue you into the ground to be right even if she and everyone around knows she wrong
5. other tactics to control you = the point is to make you feel bad and manipulate you.
a. Silent treatment
b. Without love and affection
c. Guilt
d. Shame ; humiliate
e. Gas lighting
Solution guys !!
Stop dating combative jaded promiscuous women who want you to" handle them"
Set boundaries
Have the balls to walk out and leave then
Understand high value man does not let those red flag females get away with their toxic behavior
1 Guilt Trips
2 Mean Sarcasm
3 Silent Treatment
4 Excuses for No affection/sex/fun
5 It is your fault I feel this way
6 They are never wrong
Additional:
7 False accusations
8 Threatens the existence of the relationship
9 Says the relationship is over and that you will regret losing me (her) (but she may be convinced to come back)
ter.
Back in the 80s, a man was lucky to find a woman who cooks like his mother. Now, he's lucky to find one who doesn't drink like his father.
- "The 1st marriage is for money. The 2nd is for love."
- Alcohol and women is the worst combination I have found.
- The government is weaponized against men, and women love it.
What women actually want when they want "equality" is :
- The societal rights “privilege” of men
-The authority of a man
-The societal rights “privilege” of women
- The responsibility of neither a man or a woman
-The freedom of a wild animal
- The accountability of a child (preferably a baby girl child)
- The just want the best of both worlds, worst of none
Men: Just want peace and femininity.
Re
Women: I don't need a man, I am a fantastic catch I have a degree in social studies, I own my own business, My own house, my own car and a summer house by the sea (took it all in divorce court from my last husband of 22 years ) .
Men: Those aren't personality traits we look for in a partner .
Women: I don't care! Date me! Buy me things!
Hey? Where did all the good men go?
Here is 2 things feminists need to understand !!
1, NO man ever put his hand under a woman's dress looking for her degree.
2.Saying things like ; I'm an independent woman" . I work hard, I own my own business." I have a degree " Somebody needs to let the modern feminist know that these words are kryptonite to men.
Gentlemen are only obligated to help and assist LADIES , NOT independent feminist that say they don’t need a gentlemen/ man because men are toxic ..
“The feminist of today have grown accustomed to privilege and rights equal to a man, so now when a man says I will not help you because we are equal then this equality feels like oppression to the feminist and not like the “equality” they say they want !

Lets me answer you pro Russia you this way !!
If Russia had Genocided five+ millions of your people in a Holodomor (Russian genocide 1932-1933 ) and you was forcefully incorporated into a union (USSR) with Russia; where millions more was forced to Gulags (soviet concentration camps) and persecuted; then you got freedom in 1991 wouldn't you also make sure that Russia never ever again got to rule over you and your country ???
But you your family and your country, probably does not have that type of history with Russia so you simply would not understand. Look at your question another way: suppose Germany suddenly invaded Israel. Do you think Israel would or should negotiate with Germany given to give up their land for peace give up their culture give up their identity and exchange it for Germany ruling over them once more !!
Philosopher George Santayana’s warning, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” is pertinent. We know that Putin is guided by an imperialist and fascist agenda, and by a desire to restore Soviet-era dominance over its neighbors. History has also shown us that, when a despot is willing to back his agenda with military force, the results are devasting if they are not confronted.
And make no mistake, supporting Ukraine is not only a matter of countering Vladimir Putin. It is just as much about sending a loud message to other autocratic leaders — particularly in Beijing and Tehran — that the United States will not stand by as democracy is actively threatened abroad.
About 40 years ago, former Republican president Ronald Reagan branded the Soviet Union an “evil empire,” and rallied the free world around bringing it down. We must not overlook the fact that the same corrupt, authoritarian and despotic values that characterized the Soviet Union in the Reagan era are embodied by Vladimir Putin.
Unfortunately, many on the political right seem to have forgotten history — or worse, are choosing to ignore it.
ALSO ON A SIDE NOTE : A small part of Ukraines land for pace you say its only a small bit of land ...the truth is that it is in fact 200000 sqkm That is the cobindsize of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and Greece..
For the United Kingdom that is the same as they give away all of Scotland , all of Wales and 80% of England !!
For the United states that is handing over South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey !!
You want Ukraine to let Putin have that land for what? SO PUTIN COME BACK LATER AND invaded some in some years time after he hasrebuilt back up the Russian army constructed into the ground now positions on the very land he got for this so called "pace " !!
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...

What Russia Hopes to Gain From the Israel-Hamas Conflict !!!
the relationship between Russia and Israel has cooled following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, even if Israel has remained more reluctant to support Ukraine than its Western allies would have liked.
Even so, it came as a shock to many in Israel to see a group of high-ranking Hamas members meeting with a senior Russian official on Oct. 26. The Israeli Foreign Ministry slammed the decision to invite Hamas members to Moscow as “an act in support of terrorism” and called for Russia to expel the Hamas delegation.
In the wake of the meetings, Hamas has announced that it is looking for eight hostages in Gaza that Russia has asked to be released, “because we look at Russia as our closest friend,” Hamas Politburo member Abu Marzouk said on Oct. 28.
Palestinian militants have reportedly gotten around Western sanctions by funneling millions through Russian cryptocurrency exchanges.
Russia has notably not condemned Hamas’s attacks on Oct. 7 as terrorism. Instead, Russian officials have called for both sides to put down arms and reaffirmed its support for a Palestinian state. At the United Nations Security Council, a Russian resolution that called for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages was voted down as it failed to condemn Hamas.
Mossad has come out and said there is now evidence that Russians supplied the Palestinian militant group Hamas with western infantry armaments that they seized in Ukraine, . There is evidence that Russia was involved in instigating Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks and supplied weapons used.
In speeches and public appearances, Russian officials have repeatedly criticized Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Oct. 28 that Israel’s bombardment of Gaza is against international law. Putin compared Israel’s blockade of Gaza to Nazi Germany’s siege of Leningrad during World War II, one of the most traumatic events in Russian history during which hundreds of thousands of Russian civilians died.
Others in Russia have gone further, arguing that it is time for Russia to reassess its relationship with Israel. “Whose ally is Israel? The United States of America,” Andrei Gurulev, State Duma deputy and member of its Defense Committee, wrote on Telegram. “Whose ally is Iran and its surrounding Muslim world? Ours.”

I’ve noticed as a WHITE MAN that no one ever wants to talk about Italy taking slaves into the 1920’s or Belgium committing untold colonial atrocities or the German colonial genocides or point out that Portugal and Spain took / killed far more slaves than any other colonial power.
No, no one wants to talk about the prodigious Islamic slave trade “legal in some states into the 1970’s” or that the Africans themselves had culturally, religiously and indeed economically engaged in slavery long before any European involvement.
No one wants to talk about the statistical fact that most African slaves were enslaved by and sold by other Africans. No, no it’s all America and Englands fault.
Forget the fact that the English ended the west African slave trade single handedly at extreme cost of money, resources and lives. No, no it must all just be that the Queen’s to blame even though she wasn’t in power or even alive at the time. Bless the Queen and all our good, faithful friends throughout England imo.
Britain abolished slavery before all other European and American countries did !!
The Spaniards" created SYSTEMATIC racism in the Americas long before anyone else who by the way are " HISPANIC " ARE NOT WHITE. ANGLO SAXONS !!!
(NOTE : UK Abolition of Slavery on 25 March 1807, King George III signed into law the Act for the Abolition of the Slave Trade, banning trading in enslaved people in the British Empire. Today, 23 August is known as the International Day for the Remembrance of the Slave Trade and its Abolition. (The Slavery Abolition Act 1833 (3 & 4 Will. IV c. 73) provided for the gradual abolition of slavery )
And also who depleted entire civilizations like the AZTECS. . and the Indigenous North American Indians . so it was Not whites but HISPANICS that has done the genocide on all of south America and in Texas, New Mexico and California back in the day as all of that was part of Spanish crown and Spanish control ...
Also not by accident they also to day run the most CORRUPT COUNTRIES IN THE WORLD. From Mexico south.... Cartels.... Corrupt governments...drug , human trafficking and worse. Prostitution Slava trading people into slave factories and outright murdering of the south American nations back in the day all the way back from Hernán Cortés and the Conquistadors...

1777 - State of Vermont, an independent Republic after the American Revolution, becomes first sovereign state to abolish slavery
1780s - Trans-Atlantic slave trade reaches peak
1787 - The Society for the Abolition of the Slave Trade founded in Britain by Granville Sharp and Thomas Clarkson

GIVING A SURRENDER IS NOT A PEACE DEAL ITS A SHAKE DOWN !!!! Anyone can make a peace deal when they surrender, which is what Trump is asking Ukraine to do.
Trump and his admin appear to be Putin's lifeline.
Its obvious what happened. A US president tried to shake down a foreign leader for mineral rights in Ukraine. The USA has abandoned its leadership role in the world and is now just for sale. The Republicans have lost their minds and perhaps their souls. Siding with Russia.
JD Vance talks about Zelensky being disrespectful and then points his finger and raises his voice TAKING talking down to Zelensky like he was som sort of child talking this way at a President of a sovereign state who is a visitor in the White House; coming to give 50% of his county natural resources and a deal that is more like a shake down than anything else after VANCE AND TRUNP has call him a dictator and never said any bad word other the praise for Putin .
I did not see Zelenskyy raising his voice. I did not see any arrogance. I saw him attempting to explain that a cease fire without guarantees would not work. He could not get a word in. The tirade of obscene fury from Trump and Vance left no room for a discussion of the issues. Trump, of course, continued lying.
Does the orange man and Vance talk to Mr Putin like that.. just 2 cowards the orange man and the VP.. that clearly are wanting to kiss up to Putin for sure they have some backhand deal going on with the Kremlin ; this was staged ; question sense when does the VP every come and seat down and talk in a press meeting when to head of states are meeting the press before a conference ?? This here was an coordinated attack to make out like Zelenskyy is an unreasonable person that wants war and that Putin and Trump are the peace loving parties
In order to make peace he has to give up his country's most resourceful land.
He's a proud Ukrainian, who is tired of his people being pushed around by the Russians. Now the U.S. is trying to get their hands on the minerals.
Haven't we learned anything from the last 75 years of war?
Granted, this needs to be over fast. How bout letting them keep their minerals and write a contract to where the U.S. would have a fixed price and first dibs on what [they] need.
Trump and associates were in Moscow Nov2013 when Russia forced Ukraine leader to go against parliament decision and people's desire to have agreement with EU. This caused riots and Russia snipers shot 100+ Ukrainian protestors. Russia invaded Crimea and land access for Crimea. Shot down Malaysian airliner over Ukraine! Now we know Trump is ani-EU and pro Putin...... surprised he doesn't have ussr flag on his clown hat.....
Lets see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
The pro PUTIN BOOT LICKERSthat are putins but boys Trump and JD saying Ukraine has to give up on wanting its land back give up on wanting the Black sea back give up on wanting the Azov sea back give up on wanting its cities back its people ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass Russia wants so give it up ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..
FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5:
1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression.
2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility.
3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

IT WAS NOT ETHNIC RUSSIAN THAT DIED FIGHTING THE NAZIS it was Ukraine, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Armenia and the other nations that was forced into the USSR and put in the front lines as cannon fodder the ethnic Russians was the NKVD cowards shooting everyone else in the backs the ethnic Russians was in the NKVD and was officers and in supply units behind the lines not getting used a cannon fodder !!
Also let us not forget the fact the it was the Stalin and RuSSia that made it possible for Hitler to build up his nazi army by giving him iron-ore and other need goods from 1939-1941 the soviet union was the strongest and most important partner of nazi Germany ..
It was only after June 1941 when Hitler turned on his good buddy Stalin and attacked the USSR that Stalin came running to the west for help and the west said yes ok we will let you fight with us they did this well knowing that Stalin helped Hitler build his army and also because the west was thinking in terms like my enemy's enemy is my friend policy and tactic
Russians living in glass houses shouldn’t throw stones. I really think that the Russians aren’t the ones to lecture ANYONE about fascism, or anything else for that matter, especially since RuSSians was the ones that signed the pact with the-devil [nazigermany] and started World War II… and even today RuSSia are still glorifying Stalin... Hitlers good buddy in 1937-1941 Hitler and Stalin started ww2 together when they invaded Poland together.
The RuZZians were the cowards who shot their own troops in the backs to press other forward infront like a human shields and canon-fodder.
YES they did shoot their own troops in the backs But they did NOT shoot ethnic Russians in the backs as most of that scum was officers and in logistics and the NKVD doing the shooting...
The ethnic Russian scum was the pathetic scummy cowards that was shooting other Soviets in the back.....
And why did this happen you ask !
Answer : Becouse Stalin did not trust Ukrainians (and other none ethnic Russians )(remember he had only 8 years before Stalin had killed 10 mill Ukrainians in a genocide called the holodomor )
So what did Stalin do before ww2 he made a purge and killed all officers of non ethnic Russians decent in the Army and replaced them with ethnic Russians and made all others that was not ethnic Russians in low level positions in other worlds as cannon fodder for the german artillery and targets for german bullets... this was the Ukrainians, Belorussians , Uzbeks , Moldovan’s ect ect ect .. this is who was fighting and geting killed this is who was fighting the-nazi-not ethnic Russians they was in the safe jobs like NKVD ect ect ect ... back in the reserve army and as administrators ect ect..
Why do you think the Kremlin always say Russians died and not soviets died ?????
They do this to cover up this facts I have stated above and for Russia to take the honor from the people who really did the fighting..Russians and Russia have no shame !!

THE MYTH OF RUSSIA IS A SUPERPOWER ON THE WORLD STAGE DEBUNKED !
For centuries, Russia has seen itself as one of the world's great powers.
This superpower Russia status idea myth, seen by most of the world is now become a declining idea and the world is now seeing that Russia is not and has never been any super power; More and more ppl. now understand that Russia has only been masquerading as a "SUPER POWER " the Kremlin has been presenting itself as one and hiding behind the Myth of super power status; And even for some time the kremlin themself (one can argue) started to believe in their own lies, their own myth making and their own propaganda !
BUT AFTER UKRIANE THIS MYTH IS BUSTED !!
Russia: has only $1.48 trillion annual GDP that makes Russia about the same size economically on the level of Spain if your economy is as small as Spain how can you think even for one min you are some sort of super power, that has some spacial right to be seen on the same level as UK, US , or even China ???
Let's look at some fact here: Russia is closer to Indonesia and Australia economically, than it is UK , Germany , France US or Japan .. !!
And when it comes to having nukes dose that make you a super power, well UK and France has nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) as well and so does North Korea and even israel is claimed to have nuclear weapons, is North Korea or UK and France Super powers becouse they have nuclear weapons ???
1. United States: $20.89 trillion
2. China: $14.72 trillion
3. Japan: $5.06 trillion
4. Germany: $3.85 trillion
5. United Kingdom: $2.67 trillion
6. India: $2.66 trillion
7. France: $2.63 trillion
8. Italy: $1.89 trillion
9. Canada: $1.64 trillion
10. South Korea: $1.63 trillion
11. Russia: $1.48 trillion
12. Brazil: $1.44 trillion
13. Australia: $1.32 trillion
14. Spain: $1.28 trillion

Ask yourself HOW IS IT POSSIBLE how did HAMAS almost over night get those resources and who benefits from all this uproar and destabilization in the middle east WHO ???
NOT ISREAL NOT IRAN NOT AFGHANISTAN NOT SYRIA NOT THE EU NOT USA NOT UK NOT CHINA NOT EVEN PALESTINE INFACT NO COUNTRY BENEFITS FROM THIS, WITH THE ONE EXCEPTION THERE IS ONE COUNTRY THAT DOES BENEFITS AND ITS RUSSIA; YES RUSSIA BENEFITS FROM THIS AND THEY REALLY BENEFIT FORM IT BIG TIME !!
RuZZia gets to have western media look another way form what RuZZia is doing inside Ukraine!!!!! Russia gets to defect the worlds attention way from the war crimes, genocide , the 10s of thousands of Ukrainian children Russian army has kidnapped in Ukriane !!!
Russia gets the world media to look another way when it comes to the fact the Putin is a wanted man that the ICC International criminal court in The Hague as issued an arrest warrant ,for war crimes and crimes against humanity including but not limited to genocide and for kidnapping of Ukrainian children and forcibly deporting them to Russia !!
Also Russia gets to make US , EU ect ect divert resources and weapons from UKRAINE to Israel; divert military intelligence resources , divert aid ect ect ect ect away from UKRAINE !!!
SO ALL YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND ABOUT THIS IS WHO BENEFITS AND HOW THEY BENEFIT !! AND YES RUSSIAN AND ONLY RUSSIA BENEFITS HERE BIG TIME !!
What Russia Hopes to Gain From the Israel-Hamas Conflict !!!
the relationship between Russia and Israel has cooled following Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, even if Israel has remained more reluctant to support Ukraine than its Western allies would have liked.
Even so, it came as a shock to many in Israel to see a group of high-ranking Hamas members meeting with a senior Russian official on Oct. 26. The Israeli Foreign Ministry slammed the decision to invite Hamas members to Moscow as “an act in support of terrorism” and called for Russia to expel the Hamas delegation.
In the wake of the meetings, Hamas has announced that it is looking for eight hostages in Gaza that Russia has asked to be released, “because we look at Russia as our closest friend,” Hamas Politburo member Abu Marzouk said on Oct. 28.
Palestinian militants have reportedly gotten around Western sanctions by funneling millions through Russian cryptocurrency exchanges.
Russia has notably not condemned Hamas’s attacks on Oct. 7 as terrorism. Instead, Russian officials have called for both sides to put down arms and reaffirmed its support for a Palestinian state. At the United Nations Security Council, a Russian resolution that called for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages was voted down as it failed to condemn Hamas.
Mossad has come out and said there is now evidence that Russians supplied the Palestinian militant group Hamas with western infantry armaments that they seized in Ukraine, . There is evidence that Russia was involved in instigating Hamas’s Oct. 7 attacks and supplied weapons used.
In speeches and public appearances, Russian officials have repeatedly criticized Israel’s treatment of Palestinians. Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said on Oct. 28 that Israel’s bombardment of Gaza is against international law. Putin compared Israel’s blockade of Gaza to Nazi Germany’s siege of Leningrad during World War II, one of the most traumatic events in Russian history during which hundreds of thousands of Russian civilians died.
Others in Russia have gone further, arguing that it is time for Russia to reassess its relationship with Israel. “Whose ally is Israel? The United States of America,” Andrei Gurulev, State Duma deputy and member of its Defense Committee, wrote on Telegram. “Whose ally is Iran and its surrounding Muslim world? Ours.”

Did Bush Lie About Iraq? | 5 Minute Video NO HE DID NOT !!!!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgQw8EhPJWw
Members of Congress of both political parties, and members of the United Nations Security Council, (that both Russia and China are members of and both have veto rights in the UN Security Council ) agree at the time that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must disarm.
Following the adoption of Security Council Resolution 1483 two months after the war, then-UN Secretary General Kofi Annan appointed a Special Representative for Iraq and the UN assumed some small responsibilities there.
In August 2003, an attack on UN headquarters in Baghdad confirmed the critics' fears, killing fifteen UN staff including the Special Representative. The UN in February 2004, the UN agreed to send a mission to the country, to help construct a new interim government..
US and UK officials have argued that existing UN Security Council resolutions related to the 1991 Gulf War and the subsequent ceasefire (660, 678), and to later inspections of Iraqi weapons programs (1441), had already authorized the invasion,,
The United Nations Security Council Resolution 660 and 67 and 1441 made the iraq war legal !!

Claim: NATO refuses real dialogue with Russia
Fact: NATO suspended practical cooperation with Russia due to its aggressive actions in Ukraine. However, we continue to keep channels for political dialogue open. The NATO-Russia Council, an important platform for dialogue, has never been suspended. We have held six meetings since April 2016.
NATO has made progress this year, by addressing both force posture and military exercises, including through reciprocal briefings. This dialogue contributes to the predictability of our relations. We would welcome more briefings and transparency, particularly on upcoming military exercises.
NATO and Russia also maintain open military-to-military lines of communication, which aim to promote predictability and transparency in our military activities. We welcome the recent contacts between the Chairman of the Military Committee, General Petr Pavel; the Supreme Allied Commander Europe, General Curtis Scaparrotti, and the Russian Chief of Defence, General Valery Gerasimov.
Claim: NATO enlargement threatens Russia
Fact: Every country that joins NATO undertakes to uphold its principles and policies. This includes the commitment that "the Alliance does not seek confrontation and poses no threat to Russia," as reaffirmed at the Warsaw Summit. NATO enlargement is not directed against Russia.
Every sovereign nation has the right to choose its own security arrangements. This is a fundamental principle of European security, one that Russia has also subscribed to and should respect. NATO's Open Door policy has been a historic success. Together with EU enlargement, it has spread stability and prosperity in Europe since the fall of the Berlin Wall
Claim: Russia has the right to demand a "100% guarantee" that Ukraine will not join NATO
Fact: According to Article I of the Helsinki Final Act which established the Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in 1975, every country has the right "to belong or not to belong to international organizations, to be or not to be a party to bilateral or multilateral treaties including the right to be or not to be a party to treaties of alliance." All the OSCE member states, including Russia, have sworn to uphold those principles.
In line with those principles, Ukraine has the right to choose for itself whether it joins any treaty of alliance, including NATO's founding treaty.
Moreover, when Russia signed the Founding Act, it pledged to uphold "respect for sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all states and their inherent right to choose the means to ensure their own security". Thus Ukraine has the right to choose its own alliances, and Russia has, by its own repeated agreement, no right to dictate that choice.
Claim: NATO provoked the "Maidan" protests in Ukraine
Fact: The demonstrations which began in Kiev in November 2013 were born out of Ukrainians' desire for a closer relationship with the European Union, and their frustration when former President Yanukovych halted progress toward that goal as a result of Russian pressure.
The protesters' demands included constitutional reform, a stronger role for the parliament, the formation of a government of national unity, an end to the pervasive and endemic corruption, early presidential elections and an end to violence. There was no mention of NATO.
Ukraine began discussing the idea of abandoning its non-bloc status in September 2014, six months after the illegal and illegitimate Russian "annexation" of Crimea and the start of Russia's aggressive actions in Eastern Ukraine. The final decision by Ukraine's Verkhovna Rada to abandon the non bloc status was taken in December 2014, over a year after the pro-EU demonstrations began.

@draoi99 You say : Between nations there is no such thing as law, only power !!
FACT ; There is somthing called international law !! Its a body of rules established by custom or treaty and recognized by nations as binding in their relations with one another; A law and legal system, including the constitution, legislation, regulations, decrees, case-law, customary rules and practice as well as rules deriving from binding international instruments.
The main UN bodies and international law are
1. THE SECURITY COUNCIL AND INTERNATIONAL LAW
2. THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND INTERNATIONAL LAW
3. GENERAL ASSEMBLY - SIXTH COMMITTEE (LEGAL)
THE SECURITY COUNCIL AND INTERNATIONAL LAW
Some of the action of the Security Council have international law implications, such as those related to peacekeeping missions, ad hoc tribunals, sanctions, and resolutions adopted under Chapter VII of the Charter. In accordance with Article 13(b) of the Rome Statute, the Security Council can refer certain situations to the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), if it appears international crimes (such as genocide, crimes against humanity, war crimes, the crime of aggression) have been committed.
THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY AND INTERNATIONAL LAW
The UN Charter gives the General Assembly the power to initiate studies and make recommendations to promote the development and codification of international law. Many subsidiary bodies of the General Assembly consider specific areas of international law and report to the plenary. Most legal matters are referred the Sixth Committee, which then reports to the plenary. The International Law Commission and the UN Commission on International Trade Law report to the General Assembly. The General Assembly also considers topics related to the institutional law of the United Nations, such as the adoption of the Staff Regulations and the establishment of the system of internal justice
GENERAL ASSEMBLY - SIXTH COMMITTEE (LEGAL)
The General Assembly’s Sixth Committee is the primary forum for the consideration of legal questions in the General Assembly. All UN Member States are entitled to representation on the Sixth Committee as one of the main committees of the General Assembly.

@draoi99 It might be useful to recap some of the reason why Russia is now an outcast :
Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade; Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU;
Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries;
Provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace;
Russia's interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia;
Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers;
Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory;
Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region;
Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation";
Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict;
Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people;
Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006;
Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018;
among lots of other things to much to even list up ..
NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.
Summary: former states of the USSRs are now full independent states and their borders are defined and recognized by not just the international community , the UN and intr. org. treaties and agreements but when it comes to UKRAINE Russia itself RECOGNIZED Ukraines borders and territory in the 1991 ( Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords ) and in 1994 with the Budapest Memorandum and Russian back in 1991 recognized all the other internal borders of the USSR as international boards that now defines all the other different countries sovereign statehood . Those borders Russia recognized when it came to Ukraine clearly puts Crimea within Ukrainian territorial control . Period.

@draoi99 Ukraine is not asking and not demanding that American farm-boys Ukrainian boys are more than willing to do the fighting and the dyeing ; Ukriane is just asking US to honor there agreements that the US made with Ukriane back in 1994 in accordance with the Budapest Memorandum !!
Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in 1994, in exchange for the security grantees from the USA and and the United Kingdom that they will protect the Ukrainian nation from invasion and grantee the Ukraine boarders based on the 1991 boards agreement that includes east Ukraine and crimea ...
The Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances is a political agreement signed in Budapest, Hungary on 5 December 1994, providing security assurances by its signatories relating to Ukraine's accession to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons.
The Memorandum was originally signed by three nuclear powers, the Russian Federation, the United States of America, and the United Kingdom. China and France gave somewhat weaker individual assurances in separate documents.
The memorandum included security assurances against threats or use of force against the territorial integrity or political independence of Ukraine as well as those of Belarus and Kazakhstan.
As a result, Ukraine gave up the world's third largest nuclear weapons stockpile between 1994 and 1996, of which Ukraine had physical operational control.
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments

RUSSIA TUCKER CAN NOT EVEN TAKE UKRIANE HOW THE F... DO YOU GET THE IDEA IN A WAR WITH RUSSIA NATO WILL LOSE THAT WAR !!! RUSSIA IS A BIG NOTHING BURGER THERE IS NO REASON TO GO TO WAR WITH RUSSIA , THE UKRAINIANS ARE KICKING THE RUSSKIY ALL OVER ANYWAY DAY BY DAY YOUR PUTIN IS GETTING WEAKER !!
Let me tell you a story about a military that was supposedly one of the best in the world. This military had some of the best equipment: the heaviest and most modern tanks, next-generation aircraft, and advanced naval vessels.
It had invested in modernization, and made what were considered some of Europe’s most sophisticated plans for conflict. Moreover, it had planned and trained specifically for a war it was about to fight, a war it seemed extremely well prepared for and that many, perhaps most, people believed it would win.
All of these descriptions could apply to the Russian army that invaded Ukraine ..
AND HOW HAS THAT WORKED OUT FOR RUSSIA TUCKER ?
Having good equipment and good doctrine reveals little about how an army will perform in a war. To predict that, you must analyze not only its equipment and doctrine but also its ability to undertake complex operations, its unglamorous but crucial logistical needs and structure, and the commitment of its soldiers to fight and die in the specific war being waged. Most important, you have to think about how it will perform when a competent enemy fires back. As Mike Tyson so eloquently put it, “Everyone has a plan until they are punched in the mouth.”
What we are seeing today in Ukraine is the result of a purportedly great military being punched in the mouth.
The resilience of Ukrainian resistance is embarrassing for a Western think-tank and military community that had confidently predicted that the Russians would conquer Ukraine in a matter of days.
For years, Western “experts” prattled on about the Russian military’s expensive, high-tech “modernization.” The Russians, we were told, had the better tanks and aircraft, including cutting-edge SU-34 fighter bombers and T-90 tanks, with some of the finest technical specifications in the world.
The Russians had also ostensibly reorganized their army into a more professional, mostly voluntary force. They had rethought their offensive doctrine and created battalion tactical groups, flexible, heavily armored formations that were meant to be key to overwhelming the Ukrainians. Basically, many people had relied on the glamour of war, a sort of war pornography, to predict the outcome of Russia’s invasion of its neighbor.
Those predictions, based on alluring but fundamentally flawed criteria, have now proved false.
Western analysts and Russian lovers like YOU took basic metrics (such as numbers and types of tanks and aircraft), imagined those measured forces executing Russian military doctrine, then concluded that the Ukrainians had no chance. But counting tanks and planes and rhapsodizing over their technical specifications is not a useful way to analyze modern militaries.
The systems that the West used to evaluate the Russian military have failed nearly as comprehensively as that RUSSIAN military has. FAILED IN UKRIANE !!
its an embarrassment I MEAN IF YOU LOOK UP YOURSELF AS THE WORDS 2ND POWERFUL ARMY AND YOU CAN NOT EVEN TAKE UKRAINE !! WHAT HOPE DO YOU HAVE FOR TAKING OUT NATO !! ???

GIVING A SURRENDER IS NOT A PEACE DEAL ITS A SHAKE DOWN !!!! Anyone can make a peace deal when they surrender, which is what Trump is asking Ukraine to do.
Trump and his admin appear to be Putin's lifeline.
Its obvious what happened. A US president tried to shake down a foreign leader for mineral rights in Ukraine. The USA has abandoned its leadership role in the world and is now just for sale. The Republicans have lost their minds and perhaps their souls. Siding with Russia.
JD Vance talks about Zelensky being disrespectful and then points his finger and raises his voice TAKING talking down to Zelensky like he was som sort of child talking this way at a President of a sovereign state who is a visitor in the White House; coming to give 50% of his county natural resources and a deal that is more like a shake down than anything else after VANCE AND TRUNP has call him a dictator and never said any bad word other the praise for Putin .
I did not see Zelenskyy raising his voice. I did not see any arrogance. I saw him attempting to explain that a cease fire without guarantees would not work. He could not get a word in. The tirade of obscene fury from Trump and Vance left no room for a discussion of the issues. Trump, of course, continued lying.
In order to make peace he has to give up his country's most resourceful land.
He's a proud Ukrainian, who is tired of his people being pushed around by the Russians. Now the U.S. is trying to get their hands on the minerals.
I think when the USA have secret talks with Russia, then propose a deal that gives Russia land and The USA mineral wealth and potentially removes Zelenskyy i from office (allowing Russian puppet government or weak government) with no security guarantees offered other than Putin supposedly respecting Trump, especially when he knows that that Putin is a proven liar that breaks treaties at will, when his host in the oval office has called him a dictator and accused him of starting the war....... l think that that's gonna make Zelenskyy in a bad mood from the start.
This looks like Afghanistan again, America get involved, fund and encourage a side then leave them with their pants down.
Let's see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
The pro PUTIN BOOT LICKERSthat are putins but boys Trump and JD saying Ukraine has to give up on wanting its land back give up on wanting the Black sea back give up on wanting the Azov sea back give up on wanting its cities back its people ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass Russia wants so give it up ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..
FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5:
1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression.
2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility.
3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

When Ukraine gave up its nuclear weapons in favor of the United States, the United States was very interested in this agreement and guaranteed Ukraine territorial integrity, as did Russia. But for some reason in 2014, the United States, despite the fact that nuclear weapons were destroyed in favor of the United States, did nothing to make this agreement to work.
US. gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , because Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Why should Ukraine sign another agreement with the United States? In which there are no guarantees again?
Oh yes,11 years after the start of the war, in 2014 the United States began to provide scant assistance to Ukraine, and then they began to demand money from the victims of aggression for aid. At the same time, there was no pressure on the aggressor.
Musk and Trump are always taking about all the poor ppl dying and thats why the war they say must end now .... But now they are saying if you don't give us 50% of your resources we will shut off your internet access to star-link , and they know full well that will disaster for the boys on the ground at the front lines as they will be slaughter in the 10000 of thousand within weeks fighting int he blind and not able to fly their drones !!
WELL THE NEXT TIME YOU HEAR WE JUST WANT THE SENSELESS DEATH OF UKRAINIANS TO STOP ! you know is BS they don't care about Ukrainians death alt all they care that Russian needs a brake becouse they are losing the war !!
Lets see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some of that land has now been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and Czech Republic all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!

War started with Crimea and it ends with reuniting with ukraine !!!
Election under a gun with tanks and thugs standing over the voting boxes is not an election it can not be a free and legal election...
Referendums vía gun point isn't a referendum, it's racketeering. Something that Russia knows oh so very well how to do.
if I had 20,000 Russian soldiers pointing their weapons at me when I was standing at the voting-box I would vote Yes in a referendum as well THAT DOES NOT make it legal
RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination like a type of 2nd class country; that is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country, that indirectly will serving the kremlin's geopolitical agenda, and so Kremlin, the RuZZians and Putin can feel better about themselves ...
NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.
Summary: former states of the USSRs are now full independent states and their borders are defined and recognized by not just the international community , the UN and intr. org. treaties and agreements but when it comes to UKRAINE Russia itself RECOGNIZED Ukraines borders and territory in the 1991 ( Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords ) and in 1994 with the Budapest Memorandum and Russian back in 1991 recognized all the other internal borders of the USSR as international boards that now defines all the other different countries sovereign statehood . Those borders Russia recognized when it came to Ukraine clearly puts Crimea within Ukrainian territorial control . Period.

@1258-Eckhart The war in Ukraine will continue until the complete defeat of Russia,”
Igor Girkin, a far-right nationalist, grumbled in a video address to his 430,000 followers on Telegram on Monday. “We have already lost, the rest is just a matter of time.”
Girkin, a former Russian intelligence colonel who became a commander of the pro-Russian separatist forces in 2014, is arguably the most prominent voice within an increasingly loud and angry group of ultra-nationalist and pro-war bloggers who have taken to berating the Kremlin for its failure to achieve its tactical objectives as the fighting in Ukraine has entered its seventh month.
Pointing to Russia’s non-reaction to the Ukrainian offensive, Aleksandr Kots, a pro-Kremlin war journalist, accused the authorities on Wednesday of hiding “bad news” about the situation on the ground. “We need to start doing something about the system where our leadership doesn’t like to talk about bad news, and their subordinates don’t want to upset their bosses,” he said.
Ukraine’s latest offensive has also led to renewed calls from the far-right nationalist for a general mobilisation, a move Putin has so far opted against despite growing signs the Russian army is facing an acute lack of new soldiers.
For now, Girkin and other military bloggers are likely to keep up their daily criticism as Putin’s bloody military offensive has stalled in Ukraine. “Don’t EXPECT ANY BIG WINS in the next 2–3 months,” he wrote in a post this week. “If our Kremlin elders do not change their tactics, we will be seeing catastrophic defeats by then.”

As Congress debates additional support for Ukraine, the anti-Ukraine swamp will fill their echo chamber by peddling myths and half-truths.
Here are the facts
FACT: America is not writing “blank checks” to Ukraine:
Every dollar spent in support of Ukraine is authorized by Congress and is used for a specific purpose. Approximately $70 billion of aid never leaves the U.S. Instead, it goes to support America world leading defense industry.
FACT: For a modest sum of money, the US helps Ukraine dismantle Russia’s military w/out a single American in harm's way: +300k Russian troops KIA/WIA, 13,000 major pieces of equipment removed from battlefield The original Russian invasion force from Feb 2022 no longer exists!
FACT: There is plenty of oversight for Ukraine aid:
Ukraine Oversight Interagency Working Group has 160 officials across 20 agencies monitoring aid
So far: “Investigations related to the Ukraine response have not yet substantiated significant waste, fraud, or abuse.
FACT: Europeans have now overtaken the U.S. the largest donor to Ukraine:
Russia is China’s partner. A weakened Russia means a weaker China
Beijing is also watching how Western powers support Ukraine, so a strong and victorious Ukraine makes Taiwan stronger and deters Chinese aggression
FACT: Europe’s stability matters to US economy:
45/50 states export more to Europe than China When Americans are building something to be exported, that is an American job European stability, which Russia threatens, brings untold benefits to the economy the American worker.
FACT: Lessons from Ukraine make our military stronger:
Shortcomings in defense industry are exposed & being addressed. Thankfully, these were uncovered when US not at war The performance of US made hardware gets a real-world combat test in a way not possible in a peacetime
FACT: Lessons learned from arming Ukraine mean Taiwan is getting weapons faster:
For the first time ever, Presidential Drawdown Authority is being used for Taiwan
Taiwan’s order of HIMARS will now be arriving 1 year earlier than planned after U.S. re-prioritized the sale
FACT: Iran and North Korea enable Russia to attack Ukraine. Russia supports Hamas:
Iran giving thousands of drones for use against Ukraine
North Korea giving +1 million artillery rounds for use against Ukraine
Russia protects Hamas at the UN. Moscow recently hosted Hamas
FACT: Ukraine is not “America's new forever war”:
No US troops are fighting against Russia inside Ukraine
Ukrainians are not asking for, nor do they want, US troops to help them fight Russia
The US is not a belligerent in the conflict
FACT: The US is not engaged in a proxy war against Russia:
Definition of a "proxy war" is a war “fought by states acting at the instigation or on behalf of other states” The US has never instigated Ukraine to fight. The US is not forcing the Ukraine to fight on its behalf
FACT: The US must provide both military & non-military to achieve the greatest affect:
Russia’s invasion eliminated 30% of Ukraine’s economy
Essential public services must function (e.g. law enforcement, utility workers, etc) for Ukraine to remain on a total war footing
FACT: US aid to Ukraine does not cost “$900 per American household” as some suggest:
Income tax is not levied evenly across households the top 1% of earners paid 42.3% of all federal income tax. The bottom 50% (those making $42,184 or less) paid only 2.3% of all income tax.
FACT: US military aid to Ukraine is a boost to our defense industry:
After seeing effectiveness of US military equipment in Ukraine, NATO countries alone have so far placed $90 billion in orders for US made hardware.
This makes America safer while creating highly-paid jobs

NATO, Nazis, Satanists: Putin is running out of excuses for his imperial war !!
Why did Vladimir Putin invade Ukraine? The answer to this question really depends on when you’re asking. In the months leading up to the invasion, the Russian dictator focused his ire on NATO and sought to blame rising tensions around Ukraine on the military alliance’s post-Cold War expansion. As his troops crossed the border on February 24, Putin changed tack and declared a crusade against “Ukrainian Nazis.” More recently, he has sought to portray Ukraine as a “terrorist state” while insisting that Russia is in fact fighting against “Satanism.”
None of these arguments stands up to serious scrutiny. Instead, the various different narratives coming out of the Kremlin reflect Moscow’s increasingly desperate efforts to justify what is in reality an old-fashioned colonial war of imperial conquest.
Putin has long sought to use NATO expansion as an excuse for his own aggressive foreign policies. This plays well with the Russian public and also resonates among segments of the international community who believe the United States has become too dominant since the end of the Cold War. However, Putin’s attempts to position the invasion of Ukraine as a reasonable response to NATO encroachment have been comprehensively debunked by his own actions.
According to Reuters, Ukraine informed Russia during the first days of the invasion that it was ready to meet Moscow’s demands and rule out the possibility of future NATO membership, only for this offer to be rejected by Putin. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy went public in the following weeks with similar proposals to abandon Ukraine’s NATO ambitions, but Russia chose to continue its invasion.
The entire notion that Russia views NATO as a credible security threat was further undermined in summer 2022 when Moscow passively accepted neighboring Finland’s historic decision to join the military alliance. Putin has repeatedly cited Ukraine’s deepening NATO ties as justification for his invasion, but the prospect of imminent Finnish membership provoked no meaningful security response whatsoever from the Kremlin.
If Putin genuinely believed a NATO invasion of Russia was even a remote possibility, he would surely have reinforced the Finnish border. On the contrary, in the months following Helsinki’s decision to join the alliance, Russia dramatically reduced its military presence close to Finland and the nearby NATO member Baltic states in order to bolster the invasion of Ukraine. Whatever Putin may say in public, he clearly understands that NATO poses no threat to Russia.

Russian myth-making about “Ukrainian Nazis” is even older than complaints over NATO expansion and dates all the way back to Soviet World War II propaganda. For decades, Moscow has exaggerated wartime cooperation between Ukrainian nationalist groups and the Third Reich while conveniently ignoring the far more consequential Nazi-Soviet Pact. By conflating Ukraine’s centuries-old liberation movement with Nazism, generations of Kremlin leaders have sought to render Ukrainian national identity toxic in the eyes of domestic and international audiences alike.
Putin’s enthusiasm for the “Nazi Ukraine” trope is very much in line with his broader efforts to place the Soviet World War II experience at the heart of modern Russian identity. Over the past two decades, Putin has turned traditional Russian reverence for the generation who defeated Hitler into a quasi-religious victory cult complete with its own feast days, holy relics, and doctrinal dogmas. This has enabled him to whitewash the crimes of the Soviet era while attacking contemporary adversaries as the spiritual successors to the Nazis. In Putin’s Russia, accusations of Nazism are a routine feature of the public discourse and have been leveled against a dizzying array of individuals, organizations, and entire countries, but Ukraine remains by far the most popular target.
The effectiveness of these tactics has always depended heavily on outside ignorance of Ukraine and Russia-centric reporting by Moscow-based international correspondents. Unfortunately for Putin, his invasion has shone an unprecedented media spotlight on Ukraine that has done much to debunk the whole “Nazi Ukraine” narrative.
This was long overdue. Throughout the past 31 years of Ukrainian independence, the far-right has never come close to achieving power in Ukraine and remains significantly less influential than in many other European countries. While far-right candidate Marine Le Pen received 41.45% in France’s 2022 presidential election, the Ukrainian far-right typically struggles to secure low single digit support at the ballot box. During Ukraine’s last presidential election in 2019, the leading nationalist candidate garnered 1.6% of the vote. Months later in the country’s most recent parliamentary election, many of Ukraine’s far-right parties joined forces in a bid to improve their fortunes. This united nationalist platform failed miserably, winning a mere 2.15% of votes.
Nothing highlights the absurdity of Russia’s “Nazi Ukraine” allegations better than the rise of Volodymyr Zelenskyy. The Ukrainian President is both Jewish and a native Russian speaker. According to the Kremlin, this should make him deeply unappealing to Ukrainian voters. On the contrary, Zelenskyy was elected president by a record margin and subsequently secured a unique parliamentary majority for his newly formed political party. This success was all the more remarkable as it was achieved during wartime elections held amid an atmosphere of heightened patriotic fervor.
Since the start of the invasion, Russia’s failing efforts to portray Ukraine as a Nazi state have forced Moscow into ever more implausible mental gymnastics. Unable to produce any actual Ukrainian Nazis, regime officials and propaganda proxies have attempted to argue that the very idea of an independent Ukraine is in itself a Nazi concept, while also acknowledging that Putin’s stated war aim of “de-Nazification” in practice means the “de-Ukrainization” of Ukraine.
The Kremlin’s confusion was perhaps most immediately evident in the bizarre and disgraceful anti-Semitic comments made by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov during a May appearance on Italian TV program Zona Bianca. When asked to address the obvious contradictions between Russia’s “Nazi Ukraine” claims and the fact that Ukraine has a Jewish president, Lavrov responded by declaring that Adolf Hitler also had “Jewish blood.” His statement sparked a wave of global condemnation, with Putin eventually forced to intervene and offer a personal apology to Israeli leaders.
This embarrassing incident illustrated the remarkable recent degradation of Russian diplomacy, which has now reached the point where it is often indistinguishable from internet conspiracy theories. Forced by Putin’s invasion to defend the indefensible, Russia’s top diplomats have retreated into an alternative reality world of blanket denials and dark fantasies. While Lavrov rants about “Jewish Hitler,” Russian Ambassador to the UN Vasily Nebenzya stuns his colleagues with fantastic tales of genetically engineered Ukrainian mosquitoes. No wonder exasperated British Ambassador Barbara Woodward recently felt moved to ask, “How much more of this nonsense do we have to endure?”

RUSSIA DOSE NOT CARE ABOUT NATO EU OR EVEN ETHNIC RUSSIANS ITS A SMOKESCREEN !! RUSSIA IS RUNING A WAR IN UKRIANE OVER UKRAINIAN GAS AND OIL !!
Pavel Gubarev, the self-proclaimed leader of pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk, admitting in an interview with Russian television Rossiya 24 on 19 May that one of the key reasons for the fighting is Kyiv’s push to “continue development of shale gas on the territory of Ukraine”.
If this is indeed the case, Russia managed to accomplish its mission – at least for now. Both Shell and Chevron decided to freeze and pull out from their shale projects in the region.
Before the civil war, Ukraine had agreements with the energy giants to explore and tap its shale gas fields in hope to reduce the country’s heavy dependency on Russian gas imports. In the Donetsk Region Shell had a 50-year profit sharing deal with the government of Ukraine to explore and drill for natural gas in shale rock formations.
At first, the withdrawal of Shell and Exxon seemed to be strictly Ukraine’s problem. However, if we zoom out and look at Europe’s energy map, the case is quite different. Besides Russia, the future of Ukraine’s shale gas if confirmed could be of enormous importance for both the European Union and the US. In addition to its own independence, Ukraine also had ambitious plans to become an exporter of shale gas to Europe – with the active contribution of the America and its business interests.
Eduard Stavytskiy, then Ukrainian energy and coal industry minister, said in April 2013 that with the help of shale gas and Crimean offshore gas projects, Ukraine could start exports of gas to Europe in four to five years and to become a net energy exporter by 2020. As we know, by now, both of these areas are not under Kyiv’s control anymore.

BEFORE SOMEONE STARTS SAYING USA AND NATO ILLEGALLY INVADES OTHERS BLA BLA BLA IS WRONG SOME WARS ARE LEGAL SOME ARE NOT ...LET ME TELL YOU THIS !!
1.THE FIRST IRAQ WAR : Iraqi invaded Kuwait (first Iraq war ) and US responded with a UN secretary council mandate !! Members of Congress of both political parties, and members of the United Nations Security Council, (that both Russia and China are members of and both have veto rights in the UN Security Council ) agree at the time that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must disarm.
2. THE 2ND IRAQ WAR ; Members of Congress of both political parties, and members of the United Nations Security Council, (that both Russia and China are members of and both have veto rights in the UN Security Council ) agree at the time that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must disarm.
In 2003 invasion of Iraq (2nd Iraq war )!! Everyone believed Saddam when he said he had weapons and why not believe he had only some years before in the IRAN /IRAQ war used such weapons so there was not reason to not to believe him and he was offered several time to prove he did not have and let the UN weapons inspectors in to confirm or disconfirm if he had those weapons that everyone believed he had and he refused to let in the UN weapons inspectors (by the way how was french not American ) and the UN Security Council that Russia and CHINA are members of and has veto vote in (so they can use veto vote to block anything they want )did not have any problem in the United Nations Security Council and US demanding Saddam follow the restriction and demands that was imposed by the United Nations Security Council at they time !! Because everyone's own intelligence agency (not just the US ) even Russia and china was convinced Sadam did in-fact have WMDs
Following the adoption of Security Council Resolution 1483 two months after the war, then-UN Secretary General Kofi Annan appointed a Special Representative for Iraq and the UN assumed some small responsibilities there.
In August 2003, an attack on UN headquarters in Baghdad confirmed the critics' fears, killing fifteen UN staff including the Special Representative. The UN in February 2004, the UN agreed to send a mission to the country, to help construct a new interim government..
US and UK officials have argued that existing UN Security Council resolutions related to the 1991 Gulf War and the subsequent ceasefire (660, 678), and to later inspections of Iraqi weapons programs (1441), had already authorized the invasion,,
The United Nations Security Council Resolution 660 and 67 and 1441 made the iraq war legal !!

WHO SAID THIS "I want to tell you what, from the Russian point of view, the president and the United States have done for victory in this war,!!
IT WAS Stalin !!!! Who said that when he raised his glass and he toast to the Lend-Lease program at the November 1943 Tehran conference with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S. President Franklin Roosevelt.
Most famously, Soviet dictator Josef Stalin raised a toast to the Lend-Lease program at the November 1943 Tehran conference with British Prime Minister Winston Churchill and U.S.
President Franklin Roosevelt.
"I want to tell you what, from the Russian point of view, the president and the United States have done for victory in this war," Stalin said. "The most important things in this war are the machines.... The United States is a country of machines. Without the machines we received through Lend-Lease, we would have lost the war."
Nikita Khrushchev offered the same opinion.
"If the United States had not helped us, we would not have won the war," he wrote in his memoirs. SEE “LINK http://militera.lib.ru/memo/russian/khruschev1/28.html One-on-one against Hitler's Germany, we would not have withstood its onslaught and would have lost the war. No one talks about this officially, and Stalin never, I think, left any written traces of his opinion, but I can say that he expressed this view several times in conversations with me."
The Lend-Lease act was enacted in March 1941 and authorized the United States to provide weapons, provisions, and raw materials to strategically important countries fighting Germany and Japan -- primarily, the United Kingdom, the Soviet Union, and China. In all, the United States shipped $50 billion ($608 billion in 2020 money) worth of materiel under the program, including $11.3 billion to the Soviet Union. In addition, much of the $31 billion worth of aid sent to the United Kingdom was also passed on to the Soviet Union via convoys through the Barents Sea to Murmansk.
Most visibly, the United States provided the Soviet Union with more than 400,000 jeeps and trucks, 14,000 aircraft, 8,000 tractors and construction vehicles, and 13,000 battle tanks.
However, the real significance of Lend-Lease for the Soviet war effort was that it covered the "sensitive points" of Soviet production -- gasoline, explosives, aluminum, nonferrous metals, radio communications, and so on, says historian Boris Sokolov.
"In a hypothetical battle one-on-one between the U.S.S.R and Germany, without the help of Lend-Lease and without the diversion of significant forces of the Luftwaffe and the German Navy and the diversion of more than one-quarter of its land forces in the fight against Britain and the United States, Stalin could hardly have beaten Hitler," Sokolov wrote in an essay SEE LINK https://www.svoboda.org/a/30538060.html for RFE/RL's Russian Service.
Under Lend-Lease, the United States provided more than one-third of all the explosives used by the Soviet Union during the war. The United States and the British Commonwealth provided 55 percent of all the aluminum the Soviet Union used during the war and more than 80 percent of the copper.
Lend-Lease also sent aviation fuel equivalent to 57 percent of what the Soviet Union itself produced. Much of the American fuel was added to lower-grade Soviet fuel to produce the high-octane fuel needed by modern military aircraft.
The Lend-Lease program also provided more than 35,000 radio sets and 32,000 motorcycles. When the war ended, almost 33 percent of all the Red Army's vehicles had been provided through
Lend-Lease. More than 20,000 Katyusha mobile multiple-rocket launchers were mounted on the chassis of American Studebaker trucks.
In addition, the Lend-Lease program propped up the Soviet railway system, which played a fundamental role in moving and supplying troops. The program sent nearly 2,000 locomotives and innumerable boxcars to the Soviet Union. In addition, almost half of all the rails used by the Soviet Union during the war came through Lend-Lease.
The Lend-Lease program also sent tons of factory equipment and machine tools to the Soviet Union, including more than 38,000 lathes and other metal-working tools. Such machines were of higher quality than analogues produced in the Soviet Union, which made a significant contribution to boosting Soviet industrial production.
American aid also provided 4.5 million tons of food, 1.5 million blankets, and 15 million pairs of boots.
"In order to really assess the significance of Lend-Lease for the Soviet victory, you only have to imagine how the Soviet Union would have had to fight if there had been no Lend-Lease aid," Sokolov wrote. "Without Lend-Lease, the Red Army would not have had about one-third of its ammunition, half of its aircraft, or half of its tanks. In addition, there would have been constant shortages of transportation and fuel. The railroads would have periodically come to a halt. And Soviet forces would have been much more poorly coordinated with a constant lack of radio equipment. And they would have been perpetually hungry without American canned meat and fats."
In 1963, KGB monitoring recorded SEE LINK http://loveread.me/read_book.php?id=51948&p=36 Soviet Marshal Georgy Zhukov saying: "People say that the allies didn't help us. But it cannot be denied that the Americans sent us materiel without which we could not have formed our reserves or continued the war. The Americans provided vital explosives and gunpowder. And how much steel! Could we really have set up the production of our tanks without American steel? And now they are saying that we had plenty of everything on our own."

Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!!
There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since Word War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would. And it’s because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. -- Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads

Russia 8,000 warheads

RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , becouse Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!

Russia Hosts International Nazi Forum. List of Participants. (English)
Sunday, 22 March, the International Russian Conservative Forum was held in St Petersburg (in a Holiday Inn, of all places), which brought together a motley group of mainly European far rightwing extremists, Holocaust deniers, white supremacists, and outright neo-Nazis from some 15 countries. Hosted by the Kremlin-linked Rodina Party which was founded by ultra-nationalist Dmitriy Rogozin, former Russian ambassador to NATO, virulent American and Europe hater, and not Russian Deputy Prime Minister in charge of armaments and Moldovan separatism, the event was little more than, as expected, US, Ukraine, and Europe bashing, with a lot of Putin lauding.

When America was attacked on September the 11 2001 and The World Trade Center was crumbling ever European Country helped America ; when you went into IRAQ and Afghanistan every European Country was with you sending their boys to day side by side with US troops !!!
In fact every war that the US has been involved in since the 2nd world war be it Korea, Vietnam , etc etc EUROPEAN AND NATO trops have been there for you every step of the way !!! SO WHO IS BEING ENTAILED HERE !! ..
ON A SIDE NOTE ; Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, several countries began military operations against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Afghanistan.
UKRAINE WAS ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES Ukraine was with the US. for 11 years side by side back to back with US forces !!!!
Ukraine allowed use of its airspace and airbases to the US and its allies, but only for cargo flights. Ukraine was a participant in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan and deployed troops as part of NATO's ISAF mission to the country. It contributed medical personnel supporting Provincial Reconstruction Teams, and provided instructors for NATO's Training Mission. After ISAF's mission ended in 2014, Ukraine supported the follow-on Resolute Support Mission (2015-2021) that trained, advised and assisted Afghan security forces

The Black Sea countries are many!! And Then Black Sea does not belong to Russia that’s a myth !!
Bulgaria, (NATO )
Romania (NATO)
Turkey (NATO)
Ukraine (NATO partner )
Georgia (NATO partner)
So in-fact ANY NATO country members navy and or air force is within their full right to sail and be within the Black Sea, as non of the Black Sea Nations (That have a real and legal int. recognized cost-line not like Russia ) have any problem with NATO ships being in their waters and even the non NATO members like Ukraine and Georgia, even more so then the NATO nations, want and are begging for more NATO ships to come and be in the BLACK SEA !
(NATO nations of the black sea are in-fact real black sea nations not like Russia stealing land then claiming to be the owner of that land and sea )
Coastline length to the black see by country/ Country Coastline length (km)
Turkey 1,329km (NATO)
Ukraine 2,782km (NATO partner )
Bulgaria 354km (NATO)
Georgia 310km (NATO partner )
Romania 225km (NATO)
AND ON A SIDE NOTE : NATO is already 500 km from Moscow via Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BS there is 800 km from Kyiv to Moscow ..
And her is a thought ..
If every neighbor you have is running to begging NATO to let them join NATO is it becouse you are such a nice and good neighbor?
Or is it because you act like a bully and are aggressive and invade your neighbor lands sending in troops and tanks
Hungary 1956,
Czechoslovakia 1968,
Poland 1980
Moldova 1990-91,
Georgia 2008,
Ukraine 2014 ++
And now all of Ukraine 2022+++
Russia eat eat eats and blames its victims for eating them !!
... Maybe if you act in a more nicer way, then your neighbors will liked you more and maybe your neighbors in your neighborhood will want to be around you as well ..

All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putins regime knows it and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!
The U.S. France and UK also has nuclear weapons hosting agreements for war time in Europe, and other places /countries around the world at NAOT air bases in NATO members Belgium, Germany, Italy, the Netherlands and Turkey among others France and the United Kingdom also have nuclear weapons hosted on based on their own outside of their countries; the nuclear defense of NATO is spread around and that makes it very very hard to take out ; Russia nuclear weapons are with the exeaption of Kaliningrad in the Baltics ONLY in Russia easy to located and take out ..(yes Russia has subs that take nukes , but so does France , UK and USA )
(Total between France USA and UK (NATO) 7840 Nuclear weapons 100% verified fictional )
(Russia 8000 climesNuclear weapons NOT verified fictional but highly likely )
WHAT fear of escalation what -is-biden talking about escalate the war ??
We can not escalate this any further than it already is, we are ALREADY at the stage where Russian solders are raping , killing civilians , and committing systematic genocide, there is no more why to escalate this situation its already at the top level of genocide !!!
And before someone starts to say nukes nukes nukes nukes .... let me tell you this; Russians like everyone else and like the soviets before them, can be trusted to understand their own best interest ...
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...

@genes.3285 Describing this KGB thug, that is Putin as some sort of "geo political master chess player and inspiring world class leader to respect and look up too" when he is in-fact is one controlled rigged election aways from nothing less than a self-appointed, Tin Pot dictator president for life, seams like highly misleading at this point, ref. like some do as some sort a world class geopolitical chess game mastermind is clearly giving him WAY more credit than he deserves !!
Lets take a look at some facts;
Putin's goal with Ukraine is to reconquest the old Soviet "sphere of influence", how is that working out for the bear wrestling, half naked horseback raiding thug that is Putin, he can not even take Ukriane or take Kyiv; instead he did a good job in stoking Ukrainian national pride and pushing Ukrainian society from any sympathies they once had towards Russia, at this point it will be hard to find any true Ukrainian that wants to join Putins dream of a Russian controls Eurasia Union (read up about Putins Eurasia Union ) or absorb anything that is Russian into their country, society ; as fare as Ukraine goes the idea and ideology of the Russki Mir (read up about the Russki Mir ) is a dead duck in the water , nothing but a kremlin pipe dream !!
The other goal Putin had was to stop NATO expansion, how did that work out, instead of stopping NATO expansion and new member states from entering NATO; the opposite happned; Becouse Putin the "Geo political chess-master" he like to think he received "a back fire" on his stupid actions and his brutal aggression in is conduction inside neighboring Ukriane it only gave fuel to NATO champions in Nordic countries, like Sweden and Finland and resulted in the opposite of what the Kremlin needs and wanted, a geo political, military defense strategic disaster for Russia !!
FINLAND, THE ONE WESTERN COUNTRY THE KREMLIN DID NOT WANT INSIDE NATO and the country with the longest border with Russia, is now joining NATO also lets not forget;
Finland foreign policy has been since 1948 one of full neutrality, even under the cold war, Finland never once took any sides,; the fact that now Finland is joining NATO this resulting in-fact in tripping the size of NATO borders, with Russia putin Nato shelling distance to St Petersburg !""
YES what a geo political chess player PUTIN is hahahaha !!!
(Read about the Soviet Finlandization policy and the Treaty called ; The Agreement of Friendship, Cooperation, and Mutual Assistance of 1948, The YYA Treaty )
And when it comes to Sweden joining NATO, Putins has managed something NO one ever thought will happen, NOT even WW1 , WW2 or even the Cold War has managed to change the neutrality and nonalignment polices of Sweden a policy Sweden has stuck with since 1814 ; Swedish neutrality and nonalignment policy in all those years may partly explain, how the country could stay out of wars since 1814. But now Sweden has gave up that policy and now it will join NATO as well !!
This is the worst thing that could possibel (except for Finland joining ) could happen, for Russia looking at it from a tactical security point of view, form the eyes of the Russian Navy's baltic sea fleet, this makes the Baltic sea in effect a NATO play pond and nothing can move in it without 100% Nato control, effectively putting the Russian Navy in Kaliningrad and St. Petersburg in docking making them more or less obsolete..
(Read about the Swedish policy know as The Policy of 1812 Since the time of the Napoleonic Wars, Sweden has not initiated any direct armed conflict)
On other points economical , geo politically, militarily, internationally , domestically ect ect ect , there is also "master chess moves " done by Putin that has resulted in catastrophic to the point of almost suicidal stupidity results for Russia. (not that I care personally I am loving it )
When it comes to The EU Putins geo political mastermind moves did not splinter up the EU (something the Kremlin has worked very hard to achieve for many years and was before 2014 well in its way to do) , remember Brexit and the talk of possible other countries taking a exit out of EU there was at times talk internationally and nationally of a Polxit , a Duchxit , a Swedxit a Franxit a Hungxit and a Danxit and some other's.. NOT ANYMORE Europe is more solid and together unified on the issues like foreign policies, energy, defense, and sanctions ect ect ect than it has ever been before !! I say well done Putin what a chess move WOW !!
And lets not forget all European NATO countries are now increasing their spending and budgets (in the middle of a world wide recession ) of there armed forces Germany is a perfect (and not the only one ) example 100 billion euro in upgrading its air land and sea forces and all the others countries have also similar project's for their armed forces also every country is now using minimum 2 percent of gross domestic product (GDP) on military and defense raise its defense spending above 2 percent of GDP.
This is unprecedented never since the hight of the cold war have we seen such rearmament in NATO member-sates, only in 2017 some leaders was saying NATO is obsolete; Trump is not just the only one that was saying this, many others as well and the reason for such statements back then was that only five of NATO 28 member-states were paying defense spending goal - 2% of GDP ; BUT THANKS to the geopolitical grandmaster chess player that is DICTATOR PUTIN we now see not just a 2 % GDP for all , but billions extra investment into all NATO armed forces member-states
YES GOOD JOB MR PUTIN you put the P in performance on that one LOL ..
I can go on and on take out pointers to show the Kremlin PR. made myth of Putin the genius strongman statesman that out players everyone myth is been totally debunked but I think by now you get my point !!!
Russia is a joke and will always be a joke Russians have nothing at all to be proud of Stalin's USSR and today's Putin's Russia are and was totalitarian states..

@genes.3285 Moscow’s unwillingness to cooperate in the Kaliningrad exclave wedged between Lithuania and Poland,
* Koenigsberg, as the city of Kaliningrad was once known, was founded by Teutonic knights in the 13th Century. It was once the capital of Prussia
* Annexed by Russia from Germany after WWII. Germans fled or were expelled
* It is more than 300km away from Russia, which can only be reached through an EU country
* It houses the Russian Baltic Fleet and is the country's only ice-free European port
* The philosopher Immanuel Kant spent all his life in the city and died there in 1804
Russia's deployment of the Iskander NUKES serves multiple strategic purposes beyond the purely military. It is intended to remind the Western public - and particularly those in the Baltic republics (Lithuania Estonia , Latvia ) - of the nuclear stakes in facing up to Moscow.
It is part of the signaling in a wider information war between Russia is running towards the west , where Moscow seeks to divide the Atlantic alliance and to secure for itself the ability to do as it pleases in what it sees as its near-abroad aka hegemony states so Moscow can exploit those states for its own agenda and resorses . Thus Russian-backed forces control parts of Georgia; Russia has annexed Crimea and backs pro-Russian militias in eastern Ukraine.
The problem for Nato is that the Baltic republics, whilst once Soviet territory, are now firmly within the Western camp. It has to draw clear lines to confront Moscow's influence while trying to avoid escalating any crisis further, this is not to the Kremlins liking..
And on a side note Russia’s violations of the Open Skies treaty, and treaty do not come in isolation and come on top of infringements of other treaties.

5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!

Let’s look at Ukraine’s disgraced former President, (Putins boy) Mr . Victor Yanukovych . After he fled to Putin with billions of stolen money the Kremlin-backed politician and his cronies (made away with $40 billion in state Ukrainian assets disappear ) the idea that he remained the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state, and therefore the manner in which he was replaced was automatically illegitimate, was commonplace. This line of thinking was heavily promulgated by his new host country for reasons that are self-evident. But was it right, or even logical, to claim this?
The legitimacy of the Yanukovych regime indeed began with a somewhat fair election, albeit an election in which the Ukrainian people had no good other choices at the time
(NOTE : Yanukovych was backed up by Moscow controlled media and corrupted elites that have dealings with the Kremlin and media inside Ukraine) .
But could that legitimacy go on unquestioned despite the blatant grand scale theft of state resources? No. Of course it could not.
Common hooligans and thugs were brought to Kyiv by the Yanukovych authorities to beat down on the students protesting Yanukovych authorities corruption (first recorded on Nov. 29, 2013when the protested was just a few days old) Yanukovych thugs mission was to terrorize the residents of the capital and beat down the students protesting Yanukovych . This act was completely in contradiction to Article 3 of the constitution that Yanukovych was elected to uphold. It was more than right to question Yanukovych’s legitimacy after this and the Ukrainian people did just that after seeing young students getting beat up by Yanukovych imported thugs in the streets of Kyiv, this act of state terrors, enraged the people even more and other joined the students protesting Yanukovych , now demanding his removal of office.
Lets take a closer look into legitimacy of Yanukovych Presidency..
Can the legitimacy of a ruling authority survive past the blatantly illegal adoption of laws designed to end democracy and create a dictatorship? No. Of course it cannot. Yet, this is what the Yanukovych controlled Party of Regions attempted to do on Jan. 16, 2014. Later analysis of images taken in parliament that while 235 MPs were declared to have voted for these “dictatorship” laws, only about half of this number of MPs were actually in the session hall when the vote was taken (by a show of hands – also illegal.)
After such clearly anti-democratic and dishonest actions, can anyone consider that authority to be legitimate? The actions were a breach of Article 5 of Ukraine’s constitution – something that Yanukovych was under oath to protect and uphold. But he failed to keep his word.
There were more violations of the constitution by Yanukovych, its supposed protector.
Article 27 of Ukraine’s constitution says that “Every person shall have the inalienable right to life. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of life.” Yet Yuri Verbitsky, a 42 year old geologist from Lviv, was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by forces belonging to the Yanukovych regime between Jan. 22 and Jan. 25 of 2014.
That Yanukovych had already lost any legitimacy by this point should be beyond question. Later, of course, came the deaths of many more people on Jan. 18 and then Jan. 20, after which Yanukovych fled to Russia, insisting his authority and position were still legitimate. Define legitimate.
The idea that legitimacy carries on from appointment without further question is a complete fallacy. It is something that we should refuse to accept. An elected leader most certainly can lose their legitimacy through illegal and/or unconstitutional, actions. The most recent public attempt at increasing the fog blurring the distinction between legitimately elected and legitimate comes from Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Bottom line, they are not the same, although it is easy to see why Russia’s ruling clan would seek to pretend that they are.

@sociopathstudio
YOU SAY : Russia offered to withdraw from Ukraine completely in Turkey,
MY ANSWER Russia has offered you say ... Listen here if i move into your house force you into the basement then offer you a deal where i end up keeping the 2nd floor why will you except that deal ITS YOUR HOUSE !!
(I will stop raping you if you marry me and give brith to my rape children we will call them Donetsk People's Republic (DPR) , Luhansk People's Republic (LPR) and Crimea Oblast is not an agreement it is slavery under a gun !!)
This IS NOT an agreement it is blackmail. It is extortion.
Also Russia has broken all deals and agreement treaties it ever has had with Ukraine why will any deal agreement be worth anything ..
FACT ; On 21 February 2022, Russia recognised the LPR and DPR as sovereign states. Three days later, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, partially under the pretext of protecting the republics. Russian forces captured more of Luhansk Oblast (almost all of it), which became part of the LPR. In September 2022, Russia proclaimed the annexation of the LPR and other occupied territories, following illegitimate referendums which were illegal under international law. The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution calling on countries not to recognise what it called the "attempted illegal annexation" and demanded that Russia "immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw"
ON A SIDE NOTE WHEN IT COIMES TO MINSK TO TAKE THAT AS AN EKS ..
PUTINS CLAIM;; Putin said ; During these years, Kyiv authorities have ignored and sabotaged the implementation of the Minsk Package of Measures for a peaceful settlement of the crisis and ultimately late last year openly refused to implement it.
THE TRUTH AND FACT ; “Minsk Package of Measures”
Minsk agreements of 2014 and 2015 was to establish peace in eastern Ukraine.
The Kremlin has been calling on Kyiv to concede the separatist area a special status via a constitutional reform (point 11) and to hold elections there (point 12).
But for there to be fair elections, the Ukrainian government has demanded in accordance with the Minsk agreements, that all armed groups controlled by Russia must leave the area (point 10), that all Russian heavy weapons be withdrawn (point 3) and for Kyiv to recover control of the Donbas border with Russia (point 9). RUSSIA HAS DONE NONE OF THAT !!
So for the Minsk to even start it is in Russias ball park they must first remove and withdrawn Russian heavy weapons and armed groups leave the area ; then in accidence with Minsk agreement Ukraine will start hold elections there, but we are all waiting for Russia to remove its combatants first in accidence with Minsk agreement ..

@sociopathstudio
YOU SAY : do you believe that the United States would tolerate a military (not economic like BRICS) alliance powered by Russia to establish itself in a neighboring country considering what's going on with Cuba?
MY ANSWER : NATO enlargement is a fake pretext to excuse Russian aggression against its neighbors.
This argument does not comply with the timing of expansion: when Russian leadership was more pro-Western, NATO enlargement was not a problem. The issue is resurgent Russian revanchism and imperialism, trying to prevent post-Soviet space, the zone of Russian strategic interest, from becoming more integrated with the West.
Allowing 14 former communist countries and East Germany into NATO was a strategic and moral success.
The alliance did the right thing to listen to the millions of Europeans who asked to join the democracies of the West instead of giving Putin a veto over their future. Putin’s threats against Sweden and Finland, coup attempt against Montenegro, attack on Georgia, and two invasions of Ukraine show that he feels entitled to dominate and use violence against other countries. Each of the countries that joined NATO after the Cold War feels safer and protected from Russia’s aggression. Russia’s attacks on non-NATO countries show that NATO enlargement is a success and expanded the zone of peace in Europe.
RUSSIA DOSE NOT CARE ABOUT NATO EU OR EVEN ETHNIC RUSSIANS ITS A SMOKESCREEN !! RUSSIA IS RUNING A WAR IN UKRIANE OVER UKRAINIAN GAS AND OIL !!
Pavel Gubarev, the self-proclaimed leader of pro-Russian separatists in Donetsk, admitting in an interview with Russian television Rossiya 24 on 19 May that one of the key reasons for the fighting is Kyiv’s push to “continue development of shale gas on the territory of Ukraine”.
If this is indeed the case, Russia managed to accomplish its mission – at least for now. Both Shell and Chevron decided to freeze and pull out from their shale projects in the region.
Before the civil war, Ukraine had agreements with the energy giants to explore and tap its shale gas fields in hope to reduce the country’s heavy dependency on Russian gas imports. In the Donetsk Region Shell had a 50-year profit sharing deal with the government of Ukraine to explore and drill for natural gas in shale rock formations.
At first, the withdrawal of Shell and Exxon seemed to be strictly Ukraine’s problem. However, if we zoom out and look at Europe’s energy map, the case is quite different. Besides Russia, the future of Ukraine’s shale gas if confirmed could be of enormous importance for both the European Union and the US. In addition to its own independence, Ukraine also had ambitious plans to become an exporter of shale gas to Europe – with the active contribution of the America and its business interests.
Eduard Stavytskiy, then Ukrainian energy and coal industry minister, said in April 2013 that with the help of shale gas and Crimean offshore gas projects, Ukraine could start exports of gas to Europe in four to five years and to become a net energy exporter by 2020. As we know, by now, both of these areas are not under Kyiv’s control anymore.
The energy giant Chevron also signed a similar deal for $10 billion, but it was focusing on developing shale gas reserves in the West of Ukraine. However, one year into the Russia-backed conflict, both decided to freeze or postpone their shale-exploring activities in Ukraine. Probably also driven by the low gas prices, the profit-oriented energy giants simply shied away from their shale projects in the conflict-ridden country, citing the lack of security for their investments and worsening extraction prospects as their main reasons.
According to Unconventional Gas Information Project expert Mykola Shlapak, it was indeed the fighting that scared Shell away from the Yuzivska project. “In the geographical sense there are two major regions with unconventional gas production potential. One of them is located in the east of Ukraine and is partially on the territories currently not controlled by the Ukrainian government, where the armed conflict is taking place.
Kyiv is fighting in Ukraine’s east for the gas reserves. Germany says the reserves make 5,578 bcm. [the US reserves are 8,976 bcm]. Control will be from the US,” Russian State Duma’s international affairs committee head Aleksey Pushkov tweeted in August 2014.
If the explorations indeed confirm Ukraine’s estimated shale reserves, these would become a significant danger to Russia’s monopoly over the multi-billion euros gas supplies to Europe.
By continuing its officially denied support of the separatists in keeping Ukraine’s shale gas untapped, Moscow has also averted another crisis; American shale gas interests setting foot right at its doorsteps at the Ukrainian border and the European gas markets.
In Russia’s silent shale gas victory in Ukraine, the Russian-backed rebels fighting in the Donetsk and Luhansk regions ensured that at least for the near future, Ukraine’s shale gas potential will not be able to challenge Gazprom’s gas monopoly in the region.
“The question of Ukraine is a question of EU’s future, EU’s safety, and a correction of EU’s energy policy. We will not be able to efficiently fend off potential aggressive steps by Russia in the future, if so many European countries are dependent on Russian gas deliveries or wade into such dependence,” the then Prime Minister of Poland Donald Tusk said back in 2012.
Indeed, Gazprom accounted for 39% of the European Union’s natural gas imports in 2013 and the union’s dependency is still a big problem for Brussels, especially in the light of its cooling relations with Moscow.
Despite the downturn in domestic extraction, Ukraine has the third-largest confirmed natural gas reserves in Europe (1.1 tcm), exceeded only by Russia (35 tcm) and Norway (1.8 tcm), and ahead of the Netherlands (700 bcm) and the UK (200 bcm)[2]. At the same time, when measured according to the international methodology, Ukraine’s gas deposits have increased by more than one third over the last decade.

@sociopathstudio Dombas and Crimea IS NOT RUSSIA !! LET ME ANSWER YOU IONE MORE TIME !! In Ukraine, they don’t have bilingualism — it’s diglossia,”.
(Diglossia is a term that describes when two or more languages are used under different conditions within a community, often by the same speakers.)
One language is termed “high,” and the second “low” referring to their status or prestige in society. in Kyiv, the Russian Sovieticus idea of Russian being the “high,” still shows among the older generation is still to some part considered to be prestigious but this is getting slowly rubbed out…
In Ukraine, Russian language and its status are both consequences of the genocide done to the people of Ukraine and an imperialistic of the Soviet Union in Ukraine . Due to its post-colonial status, the Ukrainian language was pushed to the margins of all areas of life.
In Tsarist Russia, the Ukrainian language suffered from numerous prohibitions. For instance, in 1863 Valuyev Circular, a decree suspending the publication of many religious and educational texts in Ukrainian, or as the Russians called it, Little Russian, denied its existence.
The younger Ukrainian generation is now taking back their culture and finding their way back to Ukraine's own roots and they are staring to be proud of their own true history (without Kremlins propaganda and myths ) and are now asserting their national identity and own language as it is their god-given the right to do so .
According to polls by the Razumkov Center, in 2017 some 68 percent of Ukrainians said Ukrainian was their native language. Only 14 percent consider Russian to be their native language, while 17 percent said they were native speakers of both Ukrainian and Russian.
Russian propaganda likes to misrepresent Ukraine as a country sharply divided geographically, ethnically and politically along linguistic lines for Kremlins agenda and propaganda needs: there are ethnic Russians in the east and south and in Ukraine’s Crimea who speak Russian, and ethnic Ukrainians in the west who speak Ukrainian, the story goes. But at same time Kremlin propaganda will pump out the Russian propaganda MYTH that Ukrainians and Russians are at the same time “one people,” (meaning Ukrainians are Russians as there is acceding to the Kremlin no such thing as Ukrainians ) the Kremlin’s incoherent and false narrative continues. It is a narrative that is sometimes picked up and lazily repeated by Western media.
The real situation is much more complicated than the Kremlin’s propaganda, of course. Many people in the east speak Ukrainian as their native language (mainly in rural areas), and many people in the west speak Russian as their native language (mainly in urban areas).
Some speak a blend of the two languages, called “surzhyk” combining elements of the vocabulary and grammar of the two languages in a variety of mixes, depending on the locality.
Surzhyk is most prevalent in east-central Ukraine but can be heard in all parts of the country, especially in areas adjacent to big Russian-speaking cities.
This complex linguistic landscape has been shaped, mainly, by centuries of Russian imperialism — first under the Russian Tsardom and Empire, and later under the Russian dominated Soviet Union.
The Russian government has in the history and are still today underhandedly and covertly promoting the spread of the Russian language and Russian dominance over Ukraine.
Russia even promotes this idea of a justifiable and rightful dominance over Ukraine not just to its own Russians and the world in general but among the native Ukrainian population as well...
They do this by actively refusing to acknowledge the historical facts and the existence of the Ukrainian language and take every opportunity to belittle Ukrainian history by calling it a myth; this way Moscow is indirectly saying that Ukrainian history never existed and Ukrainian people are just nothing more than confused little Russians..
If we look back in time this is nothing new, the Russian Minister of Internal Affairs Pyotr Valuev in 1863 issued a secret decree that banned the publication of religious texts and educational texts written in the Ukrainian language Emperor Alexander II expanded this ban by issuing the Ems Ukaz in 1876 (which lapsed in 1905). The Ukaz banned all Ukrainian language books and song lyrics, as well as the importation of such works. Furthermore, Ukrainian-language public performances, plays, and lectures were forbidden
During the Soviet times, the attitude to Ukrainian language and culture went through periods of suppression (during the period of Stalinism) While officially there was no state language in the Soviet Union until 1989, Russian in practice had an implicitly privileged position as the only language widely spoken across the country From around the 1960s nearly all dissertations were required to be written in Russian That caused most scientific works to be written exclusively in Russian. Studying Russian in all schools was not optional, but the requirement.
SO DO NOT COME SCREENING about Russian language rights in UKRAINE Mr Putin after Russia has forcefully been running a linguistic genocide on the Ukrainian language for years.
Language is the soul of a nation and this is why Russians are pushing Russian in Ukraine to destroy the soul of the Ukrainian nation ... The Russian language is a sign of a "low-born" person a sovieticus dimwit that directly or indirectly is by using Russian in Ukraine supporting the linguistic genocide The Kremlin has been running a linguistic genocide on the Ukrainian language for years.. Russian should not be taught in Ukrainian kindergartens and schools "not to spoil child's speech." and the future sole of the Ukrainian nation and that is what Russian is really trying to do by attacking the Ukrainian language ..
"Russian" really should be called 'Muscoviyan " was created in 17 century, and many Russians 'Muscovians "speakers don't understand this fact ! Under Peter the Greats Russia , (let's call it what it really is Muscovy ) and during the the reign of Peter the Great lots of words were borrowed not only from German, but also from Dutch, heavily.
So, 11 century Ukrainian (found as a graffiti on Sophia of Kyiv) example:
Maty ne khotjachy ditychja bizhja gеt
In modern Ukrainian, it is
Maty ne khotjachy dytyny bizhytj hеtj (pronounced the same as written)
In modern Russian, it is
Matj nje khotja (no "chy") rjebjonka bjezhyt prochj (written)
Matj nji khatja (no "chy") rjibjonka bjizhyt prochj (pronounced)

@sociopathstudio YOU SAY YOU GUYS ... I AM NORWEGIAN !!!
UKRAINIANS WAS NO MORE NAZIS THAN FINLAND WAS AT THE TIME THEY WAS BOTH FIGHTING STALIN OCCUPATION AND WORKED WITH THE GERMANS IN THAT ASPECT !!
And Bandera was not personally part of the genocide the evidence clearly shows that Bandera had nothing to do with it ...BANDERA WAS a prisoner (POW) of war when the massacre in Volhynia happened..so how is Bandera responsible ????
The Organization of Ukrainian Nationalists under the leadership of Stepan Bandera decided to fight against the Hitler after they was arrested in 1941.
Now that is NOT much collaboration now is it.... AND THAT IS WHY Stepan Bandera was arrested by the GERMANS and sent to Sachsenhausen concentration camp...
Bandera and all top leaders of the Ukrainian freedom fighter movement was there Taras Bulba-Borovets, Andriy Melnyk and Oleh Stuhl, Stepan Bandera and Yaroslav Stetsko, was all arrested by the GESTAPO !!
ITS A MYTH BLOWN UP OF HALF TRUTHS THAT UKRAINIANS WAS NAZIS !!
With the arrival of Nazi troops in Ukraine, Ukrainians and even Bandera himself, foolishly believed it was a new time of Freedom from Communism and Stalin's USSR and freedom from years of Polish oppression and that it will be a new time for an independent free Ukraine .
On 30 June 1941, Bandera and the OUN-B declared an independent Ukrainian State. Many Some of the published proclamations of the formation of this state say that it would "work closely with the National-Socialist Greater Germany, helping the Ukrainian People to free itself from Moscovite occupation ( freedom from communism and Stalins USSR ) ." – as stated in the text of the "Act of Proclamation of Ukrainian Statehood"
But it did not take long before In 1941 relations between Germany and the OUN-B had soured to the point where a Nazi document was signed and dated 25 November 1941 that stated "The German high command in Ukraine sent a memo saying that all functionaries of the Bandera Movement must be arrested at once and, after thorough interrogation, are to be liquidated...".
Why did some Ukrainians believe that Germany was liberating them at the time from the USSR and Polish hegemony ...??
YOU MUST remember and take into account that only 8 years before the Germans came to Ukraine Stalin had run a genocide inside Ukraine that had killed off 10 million Ukrainians and before that west Ukraine had been under brutal hegemony polish control for years !!
Also take into account this facts ..
When Bandera got arrested by the Gestapo in 1941 many members of the OUN was left without any direction and some joined the the Police forces that at the time was under the control of the germans ,they enlistment and served as an opportunity to receive military training and direct access to weapons. The OUN leadership (when Bandera still was a prisoner at Sachsenhausen concentration camp ) on 20 March 1943 issued secret instructions ordering their members who had joined the German auxiliary police to desert with their weapons and join with the military detachment of OUN (SD) units in Ukraine. The number of trained and armed policemen who in spring 1943 joined the ranks of the future Ukrainian Insurgent Army were estimated to be 10,000. This process was to take up arms and fight the nazis and in some places this involved engaging in armed conflict with German forces as they tried to prevent desertion by the ethnic Ukrainians that had joined ..
Evidence that Bandara was NOT a Nazi tool, but in-fact will use or fight anyone if he was thinking it will help in achieving a free Ukraine and Ukrainian independence..

RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination like a type of 2nd class country; that is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country, that indirectly will serving the kremlins geopolitical agenda, and so Kremlin, the RuZZians and Putin can feel better about themselves ...
All the Eastern European countries has more or less joined NATO because they was scared of Russia and want make sure they will stay independent, (and the same goes for the EU financial independence ) Nobody forced Eastern European countries to join , NATO or the EU all of them came running and begging and knocking on the door of NATO and EU by themselves, asking and begging to be let into The EU and NATO !!
Russia invading Ukriane back 2014 and Georgia back in 2008 and now all out war with Ukraine from 2022++ just showed, why it was and still is a good idea for those Eastern European countries to join NATO, and the EU because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well .
During Soviet times those Eastern countries where nothing but quasi Russia puppet states and where totally exploited by Russia under under its heel and boot. If those eastern European countries didn't join NATO then they couldn't have guaranteed their own future continuous independence from Russia by themselves . Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure their independence !!!
The former satellite states like Poland,Romania,Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect was running to and knocking at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come inn and thats the truth !! . If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..
On a side side note ; Election under a gun with tanks and thugs standing over the voting boxes is not an election it can not be a free and legal election...Referendums vía gun point isn't a referendum, it's racketeering. Something that Russia knows oh so very well how to do. YOU CAN VOTE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN It will never be legal as long as Russian army is there and as lone as it is an illegal gov. put there by an occupying force
It might be useful to recap some of the reason why Russia is now an outcast :
Russian interference in numerous elections and referendums in EU countries over the last decade; Russia's active disinformation campaigns across the EU;
Russian-based cyber attacks targeting numerous EU countries;
Provocative Russian military flights in and around EU and NATO airspace;
Russia's interference with GPS navigation systems in Scandinavia;
Russia's continued deployment of "peacekeepers" in Moldova despite that country's repeated requests that Russian troops be replaced with UN peacekeepers;
Russia's 2008 war against Georgia and its continued occupation of some 20 percent of Georgian territory;
Russia's 2014 annexation of Ukraine's Crimea region;
Russia's intense involvement in the war in eastern Ukraine, which the ICC in November 2016 ruled "an international armed conflict between Ukraine and the Russian Federation";
Russia's obstructionism in implementation of the Minsk agreements to end the Ukraine conflict;
Russia's role in acts of terrorism in the 2014 downing of a passenger airliner (Malaysia Airlines MH17) over Ukraine that killed 298 people;
Russia's poisoning of Alexander Litvinenko in London in 2006;
Russia's attempted assassination of former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury in 2018;
among lots of other things to much to even list up ..
NONE OF THIS ABOVE WAS SOMETHING THE EU , THE USA OR EVEN NATO, FORCED OR TRICKED RUSSIA INTO DOING !!!
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE .
The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.” The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments.
One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally. The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time.
Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.

US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , because Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!
And here we can clearly see what such guarantees with the west is worth, it has been 8 years now since Russia invaded Ukraine in the east of the country and annexed parts of Ukraine in Crimea AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED so now Russia is going all inn and taking everything THE CAN!!
That is the result of worthless grantees !!
And here's something the WEST is clearly overlooking ; Taiwan , Israel and everyone else is also asking the question; CAN I TRUST THE WEST TO HOLD TO THEIR WORD AND STAND BY THE GUARANTEES THEY GIVE ! and not just Taiwan and Israel, is right now asking themselves those questions, but even small eastern European NATO member states that border Russia, will be asking themselves those questions as well !! IT'S ABOUT TRUST YOU LOSE TRUST YOU LOSE EVERYTHING!!
And her is the real kicker ; Also Iran, North Korea and China will be seeing what is going on and soon they will be thinking the west is weak; And the will be thinking and saying things like, just look what the west did when Russia was calling out their bluff about red lines in Ukraine ... The time is now, we have our chance to stick it to them !!!!
And then we will see China take Taiwan (so no more silicon-chips for you ) and then we will see Iran take Israel (middle east oil all gone and the middles east up in fire ) And when North Korea goes into South no more south Korea as north will take it over as well !!
SO YOUR OPTIONS ARE ,TO TAKE A STAND NOW OR LATER !!

The aid is not free cash it’s the equivalent of those dollars in hardware !!!
its hardware from old equipment of military stock piles that will have been sent or about to be sent for destruction and will have been replaced anyway as its shelf life storage l is over and out dated or about to be over date !! (this way US saves money by not having to safely destroy those weapons only replace them )
The military equipment has been pulled directly from existing U.S. military old SURPLUS inventory that has a shelf date that soon will be past that date ; and will be needing replacement anyway this way US. gets to restock its military equipment with more newer updates versions and send the soon to by out of date to Ukraine and as a bonus US. military saves the money it will have used for destroying the old military equipment as well !!
Also it is true other parts of the Aid / funding will be used to purchase new weapons and this will be sent to Ukraine; but all sales must be and will be bought from the US industrial complex industry and American manufacturers; this supports local American communities in states (over 33 states ) that produce weapon's this helps marginalized communities and sates get a solid cash influx / bust into their local economy and supports jobs within the factors that will be producing those new weapons.-.
(So the money doesn't go into the pockets of Zelensky and friends thats a myth pumped out by Russian propaganda and regurgitated by "pathetic tools" of the kremlin like TuckerCarlsen or MUSK )
Members of Congress have questioned how closely the U.S. is tracking its aid to Ukraine to ensure that it is not subject to fraud or ending up in the wrong hands.
The Pentagon’s inspector general told lawmakers at a hearing, that his office has found no evidence of such corruption or wrongdoing, but cautioned that investigations are only in their early stages.
The Pentagon’s inspector general also informed the Members of Congress that despite claims to the contrary, the United States is not sending bags of unaccounted-for cash to Ukraine. Most US contributions go to military aid, including weapons and equipment made by American defense contractors who employ communities across the country. When the United States spends money to purchase military equipment as part of an international aid package, the materiel may go overseas, but the money and jobs stay in America. Similarly, appropriations for the US Foreign Military Financing program provide incentives for NATO allies and partners to secure US-made capabilities. This translates to more business for US companies and sustained employment for rural communities in which they operate.
For instance, Lockheed Martin, maker of the HIMARS—which has been central to Ukraine’s counteroffensive—plans to increase its Camden, Arkansas facility’s workforce by 20%, and recently announced increased profit projections through the end of the year. Similarly, General Dynamics has committed to building new production facilities in Mesquite, Texas, bringing money and jobs to the region. Change like this takes place only when the Pentagon sends strong and stable market signals to the defense industry, giving it the confidence to expand and hire.
In short, the numbers suggest that continued support for Ukraine is a win-win for Ukrainians and the American people.
The United States can continue to defend stability and democratic governance across the globe, while at the same time boosting American industrial output and advancing US economic interests.

ON A SIDE NOTE : Even Igor Gerkin (aka ; Igor Strelkov) has no illusions about Russia is loosing her wrote this article take a look ..
Speculations on what would be good not to come true (for the coming year 2025)
So, the situation for the Russian Federation is characterized negatively: by the end of the third year of the FULL OUT INVASION, none of the tasks declared earlier as “goals of the NWO” has been fulfilled or is close to fulfillment:
1) The “Zelensky regime” has not been overthrown, but is holding on tighter than in 2022. “Under the war” the ‘derusification’ of Ukraine continued at an accelerated pace, the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate was reformed, Nazi propaganda ‘brainwashed’ the population, hatred of Russia not only did not decrease, but increased manifold.
2) No “demilitarization of Ukraine” was achieved. On the contrary, - in front of our front there is a huge (several hundred thousand) group, armed hardly better than before the beginning of SWO, well organized, experienced, resistant and (despite the fatigue from the war) not showing any signs of soon disintegration. Part of this group is fighting on the territory of the “old regions” of the Russian Federation - in the Kursk region, from where our troops have failed to dislodge the enemy for more than 4 months. The AFU is increasing missile and drone attacks on the deep rear of our troops, reaching up to the Volga and beyond, hitting industrial and infrastructural facilities on an increasing scale from month to month.
3) The territories of the “new regions” (except for the Luhansk People's Republic) have not been liberated from the enemy: the enemy continues to firmly hold the capital and the right-bank part of the Kherson region, the capital and a significant part of the Zaporizhzhya region, and significant territories of the DNR. Our successes in Kharkiv region are insignificant and have not gone beyond the purely tactical. There is no chance that all “constitutional” territories of the Russian Federation can be liberated militarily in the near future.
To summarize - the NWO - in the form in which it started - has failed (has not achieved its objectives).
At one time one general, looking at the field of an already lost battle, said to Napoleon: “The battle is lost, but we still have time to win a second one.” (this was at the Battle of Marengo, which ended with the defeat of the seemingly victorious Austrian army). The point is that General Desaix brought reserves with him and they completely changed the course of the battle.
Do we and the enemy have reserves?
In the first case - the answer is ambiguous. Theoretically, yes. There are, and very significant. We still do not have a country at war, only the army is at war. There has been no mobilization of the armed forces and industry (the rear, the entire economy, etc.), except for individual (non-complex) measures of a “one-off” nature. As a result, we still have a significant mobilization potential, which, theoretically, could be used.
But “in practice” - we have a completely opposite and depressing picture: the army, which did not receive timely and sufficient means for a decisive victory, is exhausted and exsanguinated. Its forces are still enough to hold the front and even in some places (“turtle step”) to move forward with difficulty, winning purely tactical (but very “expensive”) successes. But the prospects for a strategic victory - to defeat the opposing forces of the enemy and force him (at least!) to sign a peace “on our terms” are more than doubtful. Simply put, our troops can “stall for time in the hope of chance” for quite a long time, but they cannot win. In its current form, at least.
Will general mobilization help us now (I emphasize!)? - I find it difficult to answer this question unequivocally. On the one hand, Napoleon (as in the battle of Marengo) would have been able to skillfully use all the reserves that came up. On the other hand, we somehow do not have “Napoleons”.
Both the country, the army and the population are already very tired of the three-year bloody and not very successful, to put it mildly, military campaign. The industry acutely feels the shortage of technical resources, and the stock of military equipment is apparently close to exhaustion (“thanks” to the “Syrian adventure”, “sales” for free/on credit from Rosoboronexport, “gifts” to “our African friends”, etc., etc.). I am not sure (I have no information, but I have my doubts): can the Ministry of Defense now arm, clothe, educate, train, organize, feed, form into units and formations, and then put into combat at least half a million more fighters? And for a strategic victory over “Ukraine” alone (I emphasize!) we need no less (and as if not one and a half or two times more), and these half a million should be “put to the front” not by “bringing water in glasses”, but at once or (in the extreme case) in two or three steps.
In addition to the “technical points” there is a second question: how will the country/people feel about this very general mobilization now - after “three years of bloody drudgery”? Instead of the long-awaited large reserves for the front, won't we get “fuel” for a revolt of the mobilized? Similar to what happened in Petrograd in February 1917? And there are prerequisites for this, as there are (I am more than sure of it) and forces in the so-called “elite” ready to initiate such a revolt, the discontent of the “liberal-western” part of which is hardly a secret for the country's leadership and special services. It seems that I am not alone in thinking of such negative options.... Perhaps they are taken into account in determining the “course for the earliest possible peaceful settlement”, which has already been openly proclaimed (just today I heard it performed by the patriarch): “Peace, you say? - Well, as we know. “A bad peace is better than a good war.”
But will Moscow expect this very “thin peace”? - I personally doubt it... And to demonstrate the validity of my doubts, I am going to characterize the situation (according to my estimates, of course) in the camp of the enemy. And I state: while waging an all-out war, the AFU has reserves. They have them both now and in the near future. According to various (reaching me) data, from 150 to 300 thousand newly mobilized soldiers are undergoing combat training in the EU countries. Plus, a part of the military is being trained in the so-called “Ukraine” itself. Let's subtract (for a fair account) 100 thousand deserters, “evaders”, etc. - and still we will get another 200 thousand enemy soldiers at the front by the spring of 2025. Let's assume that half of them will go to re-staff the broken and shattered units and formations. But even 100 thousand soldiers is, in fact, 3-4 full-fledged corps (or two armies). Which the enemy is preparing (receiving equipment from the U.S. and Europe, which are the “inviolable rear” of the AFU) not for a “truce”, but, of course, for his new offensive. And until it “burns” these (as well as newly created) reserves in a new attempt to break through our front, the so-called “Ukraine” will not agree to any truce. Even if it is suddenly “cut off” supplies of arms and equipment from the U.S. (supplies from Britain, France and Germany will continue this year with a 99% probability).
That is - in the next 4-6 months there will be no truce for sure, and the further depends solely on how successfully and efficiently our Armed Forces will repel another “onslaught” of a strong, experienced and well-armed enemy. I would like to believe that the “attack” will be as successful as it was in the summer of 2023, but even when it becomes a fact from an assumption, the question of “what to do next?” will remain on the agenda. - will remain on the agenda. Since there is only one “Ukraine” fighting against us today, and who might join it tomorrow is an uncertain question. But there are “candidates” - “limited participation” of NATO troops - already discussed and even put on the agenda at the highest level in the EU countries. Romania's participation in the liquidation of the unfortunate Transnistria is very likely, and after the events in Syria, it is even awkward to discuss the “reliability of a Turkish friend”....
In order for vultures to be afraid of “flying to the corpse of their prey”, it is necessary to be able to show that we are “still very much alive”. And this again requires real successes on the front. And they will not be achieved if large and well-trained (and also manageable!) reserves are not prepared.
“Our song is good - start again...”. Perhaps these words can be put in the title of this letter. If it reaches you, of course.

What rally gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land its just a small part of Ukriane anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass over 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and most of England
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the should Ukraine give up all that land for what to be invaded only some years later !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda and so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukriane Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries where nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .

Election under a gun with tanks and thugs standing over the voting boxes is not an election it can not be a free and legal election...
Referendums vía gun point isn't a referendum, it's racketeering. Something that Russia knows oh so very well how to do.
Putin himself has after the shambles of a vote admitted that the Russian army was in-fact deployed in Crimea before the the election /vote as little green men soldiers without insignia and that is in-fact a war crime according to international law ... And unknown undercover army from another land standing over the voter boxes to make civilians vote to join the undercover army's own nation is not a legal election /vote it is a act of war...
It's been more than 11 years since Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine. Let's take a look at the timeline of events surrounding Crimea's annexation.
YOU CAN VOTE AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN It will never be legal as long as Russian army is there and as lone as it is an illegal gov. put there by an occupying force
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention. 2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
9. The 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE . The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.”
The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments. One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.” One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally.
The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time. Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.

Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
So the question is Mr Trump wants to Stop The War or Stop Ukraine from resisting Russia's aggression and attack? And Donald Trump says nothing about how he will stop Russia.
That is, the rapist is justified and the victim of aggression is guilty. Everything is turned upside down..
GIVING A SURRENDER IS NOT A PEACE DEAL ITS A SHAKE DOWN !!!! Anyone can make a peace deal when they surrender, which is what Trump is asking Ukraine to do.
Trump and his admin appear to be Putin's lifeline.
Its obvious what happened. A US president tried to shake down a foreign leader for mineral rights in Ukraine. The USA has abandoned its leadership role in the world and is now just for sale.
The Republicans have lost their minds and perhaps their souls. Siding with Russia and trying to force Ukraine to accept an unjust "peace" without any security guarantees, other than you give us 50% of your natural resources rare metals your lithium, cobalt, scandium, graphite, tantalum, and niobium in Ukraine and Putin will never attack you because our companies are inside your country !!!!
WOW its was that easy all a long to scare off Putin just send American companies into Ukraine!! LOL ..... That the guarantee thats what they are now telling Zelenskyy this is what Trump and Vance are trying to sell Zelenskyy this is what they say is a security ;
WOW thats fantastic then why did the US. need to send all those weapons in the first place should have just sent in Microsoft, Ford motor company , Heinz Tomato Ketchup , Coca Cola , Mac Donalds. together with some big boys like Conoco Philips, Hecla Mining, Chevron and Goldman Sachs and last but not least The Walt Disney Company!! I hear Mickey Mouse big ears really scares Putin to death -- THEY TRYING TO PLAY UKRAINE AND FOR FOOLS SO WHO IS BEING DISRESPECTFUL HERE !!

WHAT IS IT PUTIN DOSE NOT UNDERSTAND YET !!! Yes Between Assad losing Syria, NATO adding Finland and Sweden, Russia losing tens of thousands of soldiers to a war it wasn't prepared for and thousands of prime skilled workers to emigration, and Russian money is being poured into a fruitless slaughterfest of dead Russians; ending up as fertulrzer on the battlefield and feeding the crows and ravens in east Ukraine ...I don't know how anyone can say Russia is truly "winning" right now even if they do get some more land in Ukraine..
Yes Russia is taking potato fields and a tiny worthless village in east Ukraine, yes if you can see this fruitless slaughterfest that is costing the lives of 1500++ Russian soldiers bleeding out and dying every a day as wining the war then yes you maybe right you got some potato fields and a tiny worthless village BRAVO !! (and then claiming some sort of victory is correct )
However in the meantime , Ukraine is targeting deep into Russian proper ; Ukraine is hitting every day Russian vital economic centers of the Russian economy ; Ukraine is flying its drones with impunity hitting Russias oil refinery, Russias gas and petroleum installations, Russia railways infrastructure, Russias military industrial complex, and Ukraine has been extremely effective with this type of attacks ; and Russias "air defense" attempts to stop Ukraine in attacking their infrastructure that is vital for the functioning of Russia society and its economy has proven impossible for Moscow ...
(ON A SIDE NOTE : A FACT THAT GETS OVERLOOKED IS : Ukraine army and defense is much stronger better equipment and bigger (more trained active soldiers ) now (it has become bigger not smaller over time) its better organized and has more experience more weapons more diverse weaponry more high tech weaponry now than it was back in 2013 and even back in 2022 why stronger not weaker !!
Unlike Russia it has become less equipped and has lower quality human resource
Maybe you can explain to me how a country that can not take east Ukraine for 2 years and lost its black sea navy to a country without a navy ; a country that needs to beg and kissassssss to North Korea for weapons to survive a country that can even defend its own territories in Kursk Oblast a county that is pushing in untrained men into combat because it has no more well trained soldiers left a county that is using Chinese electric golf-carts and Chinese mopeds to attack with because they so low on proper military equipment ! a country that now is so low on combat soldiers that its striping its Murmansk navy personal and forcing sailors to take up infantry fighting roles in a land army .. A country that os low of spare parts for its air force a country that has en economy that is so bad no international banks not even Chinese banks wants to touch them !!!
NOTE : Also Putin is scraping the bottom of the bucket recruiting from African countries and china and North Korea ; Putin is begging North Korea for help and Venezuela for help ALSO LETS NOT FORGET Ukraine has pushed the Russian Army all the why over the river in the south and even made a foothold on the east side of the river !! Ukraine has liberated more territory since the full scale invasion over 2 years ago than Russia has taken (is the outskirts of KYIV under Russian control like it was 2 years ago ?)
Putin is losing 1500++ soldiers a DAY if you haven't even taken all cities and villages in the Donbas how can you claim to be a victor hahaahaha
HOW IS THAT COUNTRY (RUSSIA ) GOING TO WIN !!
Maybe if some pro Russian can explain it, I can understand how.
I SAY Russia has humiliated themselves right from the start of this stupidity all the way back in 2014 and Kremlin and Putin has continuously humiliated himself and Russia ever since.
The fact the Kremlin remain in this war, even when they know they cant win, and are willing to destroy themselves just proves how totally clueless they are....adding to their humiliation so Russia is already humiliated and broken .
FACT Russia is already in a worse place than they were before invading their small neighbor, and Russia did this to themselves, the result of their stupidity is that now they have more NATO borders after Finland and Sweden moved towards joining NATO , Putin and Russia is now laughingstock of a military world , and most of their biggest customers of oil and gas are canceling their orders.
I will be amazed if Russia hasn't broken up into smaller states within the next decade or so, this is real end of nations stuff that Putins ego and vanity so-stupidly has thrown Russia into; time will show this as complete idiocy from Putin.
I serious cannot envision Russia humiliating itself any more than it has already done , but that said , Putins ego is a massive chunk of half-witted, simple, ill-considered , unwise shortsighted buffoonery and NOT the wise geo-political chess player some include Putins own ego likes to say and Putin likes to think he is ..
I mean look at Putins strategies so far: recruiting two new Nato members, selling oil at a discount to 3 world countries and giving free tanks and equipment to Ukrainian army because of those tanks running out of fuel and ammunition. YES THE Master strategist Putin. Who’s lost much more than 30% of his armor, who sacrificed innumerable Russian lives in a failed attempt to take Kyiv and Snake Island, who pushed Finland and Sweden into joining NATO, who sunk the flagship of his Navy… yesssss all going according to plan.HAHA !!

MAGA: = Moscow Agent (‘Krasnov’) Governing America
Ukraine had an absolutely identical situation in Ukraine, when the Russian agent Yanukovych won the presidential elections back in 2010.
The fact that he was recruited by the Russian security service the FSB has already been well documented at this point (he is now living in MOSCOW with 40 billion dollars of stolen Ukrainian state funds.
The people of Ukraine, were absolutely confused. when Putins boy Yanukovych took office ; when they did not know what to do. they were apathetic and had no leaders.
When Yanukovych got into office he was fast to put other Russian agents in all the key gov. positions. Just so you understand, Yanukovych put a guy who had Russian citizenship in the post of Minister of Defense of Ukraine. Yanukovych and his people destroyed the Ukrainian army by systematic dismantling and shutting down departments; and in 4 years, stole the country's budget. Because of this, Ukraine was absolutely unprepared for the annexation of Crimea and the invasion of Russian "green men" in east Ukraine 2014.
I'm not the smartest person in the world, how come Trump is the only president to ever sucked up to Russia, and look how quick he's collapsing the US economy and now the US Allies turning their backs to America, starting a trade war with of all countries Canada 🇨🇦 and Mexico 🇲🇽
Americans! You are now in the same situation as Ukraine were. Your so-called president is a KGB recruit, agent "Krasnov". This has already been confirmed from various sources. And what he does now confirms it even more. Just look at who he appoints to key positions. How he betrays Ukraine and European allies. How he idolizes Putin. What other signals do you need to start acting?
MAGA and Putin are aligned, they want to make sure to make sure they sit with the money and power ; they don't like the free society. They aren't making a mistake. We are still not getting it
Trump:
1. Threatens their ex-ally Canada with economic ruin if they don't allow the US to take them over "voluntarily".
2. Threatens Denmark that they will take Greenland from them one way or another because they wants it my precious, so they will haves it.
3. Aligns with dictators including Russia, China and North Korea in a vote against democratic Ukraine, and cuts off support for them while at the same time trying to extort an unreasonable "deal" for a large amount of their natural resources with no guarantees they'll try to get back their land from Russia in return.
4. "Negotiates" behind Ukraine's back with Russia asking them for zero concessions, and then sets up Zelenskyy in an interview complete with the Russian state media in attendance in a way that seems straight out of the CCP's playbook on trying to de-power and twist the narrative on your opponents.
Hang on, are we really surprised that the US is now an ally of Russia given their expansionist, dictator like behavior lately? They're starting to look just as bad as Trump's new buddies.
5. Europe needs to make a defense alliance's with one for all all for one (an article agreement for Europe can call it EATO European Atlantic Treaty organization its that easy !!
Trump is trying to force Ukraine into a capitulation a total surrender ; masquerading as a" PEACE DEAL " its not a peace deal when only one side must give up everything and the other side gets everything it wants ; and it defiantly not a peace deal when one side must give a 3rd party 50% of its natural resources !! This is putting a gun to some head and telling them make the deal becouse either you brains or your signature will be on the document !
Zelenskyy says he is willing to come to an fare agreement but in exchange Ukraine needs solid security guarantees to secure Ukraines sovereignty and safety within its own borders and what has Trump offered of " the Trump security guarantees " he offered that American companies can start up in UKRAINE and that will make Putin (according to the Donald) think twice about attacking Ukraine in the further !!
WOW its was that easy all a long to scare off Putin just send American companies into Ukraine!! LOL .....
That the guarantee!!!! thats what they are now telling Zelenskyy this is what Trump and Vance are trying to sell Zelenskyy this is what they saying is a solid security he can take back to the Ukrainians mothers ; thats what their sons ended up killed for when they so heroically defended their country form Putins aggression ..
WOW thats fantastic then why did they (the US ) send all those weapons in the first place?
US. should have just sent in Microsoft, Ford motor company , Heinz Tomato Ketchup , Coca Cola , Mac Donalds. together with some big boys like ConocoPhillips, Hecla Mining, Chevron and Goldman Sachs and last but not least The Walt Disney Company!!
I hear Mickey Mouse big ears really scares Putin to death -- !!!!
TRUMP AND VANCE ARE TRYING TO PLAY UKRAINIANS FOR FOOLS; AND STEAL UKRAINIANS NATURAL MINERALS, SO WHO IS BEING DISRESPECTFUL HERE !!
FACT In Ukraine there was already American and European interests and massive companies in Ukraine before the war but Putin still invaded; so this is just Trump talking BS to get 50% of Ukraines natural resources for nothing and then turn around and say look what a master deal maker I am the art of the deal !!

Some important Voltaire Quotes we need to remember in out time ..
* Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. ...
* To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.
And what is the truth? let's look at some facts !
Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed

Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

Even when Putin himself was NOT able to run for President back in 2008, and the Russians, had a chance to vote for another direction, what did they do?? They voted in Putin's boy Dmitry Medvedev for president, the Russians had the changes to vote for Boris Nemtsov and therefor freedom, rule of law and democracy but NO THEY VOTE for Putins boy Dmitry Medvedev for president, because that was the next best thing to voting for Putin !!!
So the Russians NO longer have an excuse, they are responsible for the actions that the evil regime they support and they have voted for time after time after time….
So WHAT THE REGIME dose in their name and the RuSSians must themselves take responsibility for it...

Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!!
There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since Word War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would. And it’s because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. -- Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

ON A SIDE NOTE : Missiles require a huge amount of upkeep and if the maintenance that we've seen on Russian captured tanks in Ukraine is anything to go by, or how there nuclear sublime fleet upkeep is I figure half of Russian Missiles would be defect or even blow up on in mid flight ; Any NBC specialist can tell you that they estimate that without extensive maintenance an ICBM has about a 5% per year cumulative failure rate. And mote of Russia ICBMs are form the late 80s early nineties so based on those facts like I say many as much as half of their weapons can end up and would failx.
ALSO ON A 2nd NOTE ; Putin can not just wake up one day and press a button because he wants to when it comes to sending nukes around the world !!!
The president, and minister of defense and chief of the General Staff together prepare the authorization for use of nuclear weapons and they must all 3 be in 100% agreement before and launch can take place they can not be in the same room and have all of them fiscally use their personal one time login codes to activate the launch procedure it is a complicated process with lost of redundancy for safety so it is impossible for only one man to go crazy and launch a nuke attack !! So even if Putin went off his head he still can not launch the nukes without consent form the others !!
The “direct command” (launch order) would be sent, via the Chegets, to the units by the General Staff, which holds the codes to access the machine that will produce the codes for launch and then the General Staff and the commanders have to send two different codes to all three branches as an extra layer of authentication.
Launch orders would be transmitted by second-level communication systems (distinct from Kazbek):
Signal for Strategic Rocket Forces, and KSBU (which stands for centralized command-and-control
system) for air and sea forces.
And then they orders and codes will be sent back to the General Staff , the defense minister and the President via the Chegets, and the orders and codes must be verified and confirmed up the chain of commend to give authorization only after a authentication process is/ has been confirmed ...
When that is done then the president and the defense minister have to send two separate codes, to be integrated by the chief of the General Staff, who added his or her own code. and send that though the system to give authorization and authentication process is confirmed .
PS. And lets not forget the the Submarine KURSK was part of Russia's nuclear weapons platform and it was falling apart to such an degree that its systems torpedo systems on the Sub. malfunctions and blow up under water and sank the sub and .. killed all of its crew ....
Now if that is what Russia's nuclear delivery platform and weapons platform is like all I can say is WTF !!! And let us not forget that Kursk was the pride and joy of Russia's navy... What does the rest of the Russian nuclear weapons program look like if Kursk is anything to go by ?
I mean...... If you can not hold your submarines floating in pace time what hope do you really have for holding your submarines floating in war time ?

NO SUCH THING AS A PALESTINIAN IT WAS MADE UP BY ARAFAT JUST LIKE THE FAKE HISTORY OF WHAT ARAFAT CALLED THE COUNTY OF PALESTINE !!
Arab Historian Admits there are No Palestinian People ..
When the Ottoman rule ended, there was no Palestinian national identity or political borders. It was all made up later. Arabs themselves say so, but the west isn’t listening..
One of the biggest, most stubborn and costliest untruths of our time is the notion that the jihad waged by Arabs in the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Gaza against Jews in Israel is a national struggle of an indigenous people for independence.
No matter the facts, the lie persists to the tune of billions of dollars in international aid and political prestige, which makes it increasingly difficult for anyone involved to admit that the whole thing is nothing more than a propaganda stunt.
Unlike the fairy tale of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’, everyone pretends to be blind and deaf when it is pointed out that the emperor is naked. In fact, if the emperor himself were to stand up and yell, ‘I am naked folks, go home!’ the crowd would go on complimenting his non-existent garments.
Last week the naked emperor did just that:
“Before the Balfour Promise, when the Ottoman rule [1517-1917] ended, Palestine’s political borders as we know them today did not exist, and there was nothing called a Palestinian people with a political identity as we know today”, historian Abd Al-Ghani admitted on official PA TV on November 1.
“Since Palestine’s lines of administrative division stretched from east to west and included Jordan and southern Lebanon, and like all peoples of the region [the Palestinians] were liberated from the Turkish rule and immediately moved to colonial rule, without forming a Palestinian people’s political identity.”
In 1917, says this Arab historian on official PA TV, there was no such thing as a Palestinian people. This statement amounts to saying that the whole narrative of an ‘indigenous Palestinian people’ was made up at a later point in time.
As Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad speaking on Al-Hekma TV said in March 2012: “Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians…”
There is a reason, why the “Palestinian National Museum” is empty of historical artifacts.
The Arab historian’s admission corroborates the observations of 19th-century travelers to the region, who notably had no specific political agenda when they visited, unlike so many visitors to Israel today:
”Outside the gates of Jerusalem, we saw indeed no living object, heard no living sound”, wrote French poet Alphonse de Lamartine about his visit in 1835.
”The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is that of a body of population.” wrote British Consul James Finn in his 1857 description of the Holy Land.
”Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that withered its fields and fettered its energies. …Palestine is desolate and unlovely….It is a hopeless dreary, heartbroken land.” wrote American author Mark Twain in his description of his visit in 1867.
Nevertheless, the Arab propaganda machine gets away with publishing fantastic falsehoods, such as this one on the Palestinian Authority’s tourism website: “With a history that envelops more than one million years, Palestine has played an important role in human civilization. The crucible of prehistoric cultures, it is where settled society, the alphabet, religion, and literature developed and would become a meeting place for diverse cultures and ideas that shaped the world we know today”.
The international community not only approves of these falsehoods, it happily pays for them.
Historian Abd Al-Ghani’s declaration on PA TV was a historic, highly newsworthy admission that ought to have made the headlines everywhere, considering the importance the issue is given by political leaders, diplomats, the media and other establishment figures all over the world.
After all, if the Arabs themselves admit that the ‘Palestinian people’ is an invented entity, should not the consequence be that the countless UN projects, billions of dollars in international aid, and the endless campaigns against Israel cease and be used for more noble purposes?
The answer is yes, but no one is paying attention.
We live in a post-factual world. Facts no longer have any currency, unlike feelings and ideological posturing. The truth has been reduced to a troublesome inconvenience and if it happens to stare you in the face, nothing could be easier than closing your eyes or simply looking away. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fxlvbib5BHw

A study done by scientists of the DNA structure of Europe and Eurasia nations and the result of that study of Russians and Russia DNA structor and the results was todays Russians are mostly have Finno-Ugric and Mongolian DNA not Slavic !!..
Dr. Vladimir Nuzhny, of the Health Ministry’s National Narcology Research Centre, said "On average, 76 per cent of people in Moscow have this Mongoloid gene.
(Dr Nuzhny’s research is partly funded by pharmaceutical companies trying to develop drugs to cure hangovers and alcoholism.)
.”
According to a 2008 study, the mitochondrial lines of the Finno-Ugric are clearly indistinct (indistinct = meaning" not the same as no similarities" ) from that of neighboring Slavs like Ukrainians and Polish people ..
The Russian DNA is evidence that they are not white Europeans. Testes of today's Russian males DNA have shown that they, like their ethnic brothers the Finnish people, share most of their chromosomes with the Chinese, and Mongolians (the Mongolian chromosomes ) just like the Finnish people do as well !!
And in 2003, Slovenian geneticist Andrej Marusic observed that the Finnish and Russian propensity to alcoholism could be explained by the Mongolian ADH22 gene ‘which is common in Eastern peoples but almost unheard of Europe.’
This has proven without a doubt that Russian are NOT European as they share their DNA with the Mongolians and the study also shows that no other Europeans (with the exception of Finno-Ugric people) share that same chromosome structure with the Mongolians as Russians do !!
German anthropologist J. F. Blumenbach compared Finnish, Sami (the Arctic reindeer herders) and Mongolian skulls and concluded that the Finns were ‘mongoloid’ and not ‘white’ like the Swedes or Finland’s Swedish-speaking aristocracy. This was widely accepted and led to the Turanian theory – that both the Finns and Sami had originally come from the East – as well as strengthening the view, according to Finland-Swede sociologist Nina af Enehjelm, that Finns were somehow ‘other’.. ..
Why is it so vitally important to find this proof you ask ?
Answer… It shows a systematic falsification by Russia that started with Peter to falsify its history and links to Europe so Moscow can put down the claim to the Kievan Russia history, cultural and lands !!
What conclusion can we take out of all this data ??
1. Russians are NOT Slavic it is a myth !!
2. Russians are closer genetically linked to Finno-Ugric and Mongolians
3. Slavic people like polish and Ukrainians are not genetically linked to Finno-Ugric and Mongolians..
4. Russians need to reevaluate their own history and except the facts that they are nothing genetically to do with Slavic peoples heritage and therefore have no calm to Slavic lands !!
5. Russians need reevaluate their own history when it comes to climes of links and heritage to the KyivvRus and Vladimir and the history that belongs to the Slavic ppl. we know today as Ukrainians.

What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is almost 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed

Lets me answer pro Russia usefulidiots this way !!
If Russia had Genocided five+ millions of your people in a Holodomor (Russian genocide 1932-1933 ) and you was forcefully incorporated into a union (USSR) with Russia; where millions more was forced to Gulags (soviet concentration camps) and persecuted; then you got freedom in 1991 wouldn't you also make sure that Russia never ever again got to rule over you and your country ???
But you your family and your country, probably does not have that type of history with Russia so you simply would not understand. Look at your question another way: suppose Germany suddenly invaded Israel. Do you think Israel would or should negotiate with Germany given to give up their land for peace give up their culture give up their identity and exchange it for Germany ruling over them once more !!
Philosopher George Santayana’s warning, “those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” is pertinent. We know that Putin is guided by an imperialist and fascist agenda, and by a desire to restore Soviet-era dominance over its neighbors. History has also shown us that, when a despot is willing to back his agenda with military force, the results are devasting if they are not confronted.
And make no mistake, supporting Ukraine is not only a matter of countering Vladimir Putin. It is just as much about sending a loud message to other autocratic leaders — particularly in Beijing and Tehran — that the United States will not stand by as democracy is actively threatened abroad.
About 40 years ago, former Republican president Ronald Reagan branded the Soviet Union an “evil empire,” and rallied the free world around bringing it down. We must not overlook the fact that the same corrupt, authoritarian and despotic values that characterized the Soviet Union in the Reagan era are embodied by Vladimir Putin.
Unfortunately, many on the political right seem to have forgotten history — or worse, are choosing to ignore it.
ALSO ON A SIDE NOTE : A small part of Ukraines land for pace you say its only a small bit of land ...the truth is that it is in fact 200000 sqkm That is the cobindsize of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg and Greece..
For the United Kingdom that is the same as they give away all of Scotland , all of Wales and 80% of England !!
For the United states that is handing over South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey !!
You want Ukraine to let Putin have that land for what? SO PUTIN COME BACK LATER AND invaded some in some years time after he hasrebuilt back up the Russian army constructed into the ground now positions on the very land he got for this so called "pace " !!
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...

Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!!
There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since Word War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would. And it’s because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. -- Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

Lets see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
Trump and JD saying Ukraine has to give up on wanting its land back give up on wanting the Black sea back give up on wanting the Azov sea back give up on wanting its cities back its people ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass Russia wants so give it up ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..
FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5:
1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression.
2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility.
3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

NATO, Nazis, Satanists: Putin is running out of excuses for his imperial war !!
Why did Vladimir Putin invade Ukraine? The answer to this question really depends on when you’re asking. In the months leading up to the invasion, the Russian dictator focused his ire on NATO and sought to blame rising tensions around Ukraine on the military alliance’s post-Cold War expansion. As his troops crossed the border on February 24, Putin changed tack and declared a crusade against “Ukrainian Nazis.” More recently, he has sought to portray Ukraine as a “terrorist state” while insisting that Russia is in fact fighting against “Satanism.”
None of these arguments stands up to serious scrutiny. Instead, the various different narratives coming out of the Kremlin reflect Moscow’s increasingly desperate efforts to justify what is in reality an old-fashioned colonial war of imperial conquest.
Putin has long sought to use NATO expansion as an excuse for his own aggressive foreign policies. This plays well with the Russian public and also resonates among segments of the international community who believe the United States has become too dominant since the end of the Cold War. However, Putin’s attempts to position the invasion of Ukraine as a reasonable response to NATO encroachment have been comprehensively debunked by his own actions.
According to Reuters, Ukraine informed Russia during the first days of the invasion that it was ready to meet Moscow’s demands and rule out the possibility of future NATO membership, only for this offer to be rejected by Putin. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy went public in the following weeks with similar proposals to abandon Ukraine’s NATO ambitions, but Russia chose to continue its invasion.
The entire notion that Russia views NATO as a credible security threat was further undermined in summer 2022 when Moscow passively accepted neighboring Finland’s historic decision to join the military alliance. Putin has repeatedly cited Ukraine’s deepening NATO ties as justification for his invasion, but the prospect of imminent Finnish membership provoked no meaningful security response whatsoever from the Kremlin.
If Putin genuinely believed a NATO invasion of Russia was even a remote possibility, he would surely have reinforced the Finnish border. On the contrary, in the months following Helsinki’s decision to join the alliance, Russia dramatically reduced its military presence close to Finland and the nearby NATO member Baltic states in order to bolster the invasion of Ukraine. Whatever Putin may say in public, he clearly understands that NATO poses no threat to Russia.

Between Assad losing Syria, NATO adding Finland and Sweden, Russia losing tens of thousands of soldiers to a war it wasn't prepared for and thousands of prime skilled workers to emigration, and Russian money is being poured into a fruitless slaughterfest of dead Russians; ending up as fertulrzer on the battlefield and feeding the crows and ravens in east Ukraine ...I don't know how anyone can say Russia is truly "winning" right now even if they do get some more land in Ukraine..
Yes Between Assad losing Syria, NATO adding Finland and Sweden, Russia losing tens of thousands of soldiers to a war it wasn't prepared for and thousands of prime skilled workers to emigration, and Russian money is being poured into a fruitless slaughterfest of dead Russians; ending up as fertulrzer on the battlefield and feeding the crows and ravens in east Ukraine ...I don't know how anyone can say Russia is truly "winning" right now even if they do get some more land in Ukraine..
Yes Russia is taking potato fields and a tiny worthless village in east Ukraine, yes if you can see this fruitless slaughterfest that is costing the lives of 1500++ Russian soldiers bleeding out and dying every a day as wining the war then yes you maybe right you got some potato fields and a tiny worthless village BRAVO !! (and then claiming some sort of victory is correct )
However in the meantime , Ukraine is targeting deep into Russian proper ; Ukraine is hitting every day Russian vital economic centers of the Russian economy ; Ukraine is flying its drones with impunity hitting Russias oil refinery, Russias gas and petroleum installations, Russia railways infrastructure, Russias military industrial complex, and Ukraine has been extremely effective with this type of attacks ; and Russias "air defense" attempts to stop Ukraine in attacking their infrastructure that is vital for the functioning of Russia society and its economy has proven impossible for Moscow ...
(ON A SIDE NOTE : A FACT THAT GETS OVERLOOKED IS : Ukraine army and defense is much stronger better equipment and bigger (more trained active soldiers ) now (it has become bigger not smaller over time) its better organized and has more experience more weapons more diverse weaponry more high tech weaponry now than it was back in 2013 and even back in 2022 why stronger not weaker !!
Unlike Russia it has become less equipped and has lower quality human resource
Maybe you can explain to me how a country that can not take east Ukraine for 2 years and lost its black sea navy to a country without a navy ; a country that needs to beg and kissassssss to North Korea for weapons to survive a country that can even defend its own territories in Kursk Oblast a county that is pushing in untrained men into combat because it has no more well trained soldiers left a county that is using Chinese electric golf-carts and Chinese mopeds to attack with because they so low on proper military equipment ! a country that now is so low on combat soldiers that its striping its Murmansk navy personal and forcing sailors to take up infantry fighting roles in a land army .. A country that os low of spare parts for its air force a country that has en economy that is so bad no international banks not even Chinese banks wants to touch them !!!
NOTE : Also Putin is scraping the bottom of the bucket recruiting from African countries and china and North Korea ; Putin is begging North Korea for help and Venezuela for help ALSO LETS NOT FORGET Ukraine has pushed the Russian Army all the why over the river in the south and even made a foothold on the east side of the river !! Ukraine has liberated more territory since the full scale invasion over 2 years ago than Russia has taken (is the outskirts of KYIV under Russian control like it was 2 years ago ?)
Putin is losing 1500++ soldiers a DAY if you haven't even taken all cities and villages in the Donbas how can you claim to be a victor hahaahaha
HOW IS THAT COUNTRY (RUSSIA ) GOING TO WIN !!
Maybe if some pro Russian can explain it, I can understand how.
I SAY Russia has humiliated themselves right from the start of this stupidity all the way back in 2014 and Kremlin and Putin has continuously humiliated himself and Russia ever since.
The fact the Kremlin remain in this war, even when they know they cant win, and are willing to destroy themselves just proves how totally clueless they are....adding to their humiliation so Russia is already humiliated and broken .
FACT Russia is already in a worse place than they were before invading their small neighbor, and Russia did this to themselves, the result of their stupidity is that now they have more NATO borders after Finland and Sweden moved towards joining NATO , Putin and Russia is now laughingstock of a military world , and most of their biggest customers of oil and gas are canceling their orders.
I will be amazed if Russia hasn't broken up into smaller states within the next decade or so, this is real end of nations stuff that Putins ego and vanity so-stupidly has thrown Russia into; time will show this as complete idiocy from Putin.
I serious cannot envision Russia humiliating itself any more than it has already done , but that said , Putins ego is a massive chunk of half-witted, simple, ill-considered , unwise shortsighted buffoonery and NOT the wise geo-political chess player some include Putins own ego likes to say and Putin likes to think he is ..
I mean look at Putins strategies so far: recruiting two new Nato members, selling oil at a discount to 3 world countries and giving free tanks and equipment to Ukrainian army because of those tanks running out of fuel and ammunition. YES THE Master strategist Putin. Who’s lost much more than 30% of his armor, who sacrificed innumerable Russian lives in a failed attempt to take Kyiv and Snake Island, who pushed Finland and Sweden into joining NATO, who sunk the flagship of his Navy… yesssss all going according to plan.HAHA !!

GIVING A SURRENDER IS NOT A PEACE DEAL ITS A SHAKE DOWN !!!! Anyone can make a peace deal when they surrender, which is what Trump is asking Ukraine to do. Trump and his admin appear to be Putin's lifeline.
Trump is trying to force Ukraine into a capitulation a total surrender ; masquerading as a" PEACE DEAL " its not a peace deal when only one side must give up everything and the other side gets everything it wants ; and it defiantly not a peace deal when one side must give a 3rd party 50% of its natural resources and get nothing in return !!
This a MAFIA tactic it is putting a gun to someones head and telling them take this deal now; becouse either your brains or your signature will be on the document your choice !
ITS A SHAKE DOWN NOT A PEACE DEAL !!
TRUMP HAS :
- undermining democracy in the US by dismantling the division of forces (lawmaking, judiciary and executive). The core of any democracy. Clearly only benefits Russia
- tariffs hurt everybody (also US) but NOT Russia.
- creating international instability with his talks on Greenland, Canada and Panama. Typical Russian doctrine. If they fight amongst each-other, they don't focus on Russia. You just need to give them something to fight about. THIS ONLY BENEFITS RUSSIA
- his wife Melania was born and raised in communist Yugoslavia. Is she his agent handler??
Its obvious what happened. A US president tried to shake down a foreign leader for mineral rights in Ukraine. The USA has abandoned its leadership role in the world and is now just for sale.
The Republicans have lost their minds and perhaps their souls. Siding with Russia and trying to force Ukraine to accept an unjust "peace" without any security guarantees, other than you give us 50% of your natural resources rare metals your lithium, cobalt, scandium, graphite, tantalum, and niobium in Ukraine and Putin will never attack you because our companies are inside your country !!!!
WOW its was that easy all a long to scare off Putin just send American companies into Ukraine!! LOL ..... That the guarantee thats what they are now telling Zelenskyy this is what Trump and Vance are trying to sell Zelenskyy this is what they say is a security ;
WOW thats fantastic then why did the US. need to send all those weapons in the first place should have just sent in Microsoft, Ford motor company , Heinz Tomato Ketchup , Coca Cola , Mac Donalds. together with some big boys like Conoco Philips, Hecla Mining, Chevron and Goldman Sachs and last but not least The Walt Disney Company!! I hear Mickey Mouse big ears really scares Putin to death -- THEY TRYING TO PLAY UKRAINE AND FOR FOOLS SO WHO IS BEING DISRESPECTFUL HERE !!
ON A SIDE NOTE ; Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, several countries began military operations against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Afghanistan.
UKRAINE WAS ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES Ukraine was with the US. for 11 years side by side back to back with US forces !!!!
Ukraine allowed use of its airspace and airbases to the US and its allies, but only for cargo flights. Ukraine was a participant in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan and deployed troops as part of NATO's ISAF mission to the country. It contributed medical personnel supporting Provincial Reconstruction Teams, and provided instructors for NATO's Training Mission. After ISAF's mission ended in 2014, Ukraine supported the follow-on Resolute Support Mission (2015-2021) that trained, advised and assisted Afghan security forces

AND ITS NOT CORRECT AT ALL ITS MYTH AND SUCH A MYTH THAT EVEN SOME AMERICANS BELIEVE IN THIS MYTH AS WELL !!
BEFORE SOMEONE STARTS SAYING USA AND NATO ILLEGALLY INVADES OTHERS BLA BLA BLA IS WRONG SOME WARS ARE LEGAL SOME ARE NOT ...LET ME TELL YOU THIS !!
1. Iraqi invaded Kuwait (first Iraq war ) and US responded with a UN secretary council mandate !! Members of Congress of both political parties, and members of the United Nations Security Council, (that both Russia and China are members of and both have veto rights in the UN Security Council ) agree at the time that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must disarm.
2. Afghanistan was harboring al-Qaede, and was asked to give up Bin Landen the refused and became a party in the 9/11 attacks ... so USA was attacked and it responded with a UN mandate
3. Libya was NOT USA it was in fact a UN security counsel section mission by the UN.. They asked NATO to help ... The NATO-led operation was launched under the authority of two UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR), 1970 and 1973, both quoting Chapter VII of the UN Charter, and neither of which was opposed by Russia.
4. In 2003 invasion of Iraq (2nd Iraq war )!! Everyone believed Saddam when he said he had weapons and why not believe he had only some years before in the IRAN /IRAQ war used such weapons so there was not reason to not to believe him and he was offered several time to prove he did not have and let the UN weapons inspectors in to confirm or disconfirm if he had those weapons that everyone believed he had and he refused to let in the UN weapons inspectors (by the way how was french not American ) and the UN Security Council that Russia and CHINA are members of and has veto vote in (so they can use veto vote to block anything they want )did not have any problem in the United Nations Security Council and US demanding Saddam follow the restriction and demands that was imposed by the United Nations Security Council at they time !! Because everyone's own intelligence agency (not just the US ) even Russia and china was convinced Sadam did in-fact have WMDs
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 is a United Nations Security Council resolution adopted unanimously by the United Nations Security Council on 8 November 2002, offering Iraq under Saddam Hussein "a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations" that had been set out in several previous resolutions (Resolutions 660, 661, 678, 686, 687, 688, 707, 715, 986, and 1284).[1] It provided a justification for what was subsequently termed the US invasion of Iraq !!!
Resolution 1441 stated that Iraq was in material breach of the ceasefire terms presented under the terms of Resolution 687. Iraq's breaches related not only to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), but also the known construction of prohibited types of missiles, the purchase and import of prohibited armaments, and the continuing refusal of Iraq to compensate Kuwait for the widespread looting conducted by its troops during the 1990–1991 invasion and occupation. It also stated that "...false statements or omissions in the declarations submitted by Iraq pursuant to this resolution and failure by Iraq at any time to comply with, and cooperate fully in the implementation of, this resolution shall constitute a further material breach of Iraq's obligations."
IF RUSSIA DID NOT PLAY BALL ON THE LYBIA ISSUE AND RUSSIA DID NOT WANT THE UN TO ASK NATO TO TAKE OUT LYBIA WHY DID RUSSIA NOT USE ITS VETO RIGHT IN THE UN AND STOP ANY ACTION ????
Resolution 1441 stated that Iraq war as Iraq was in material breach of the ceasefire terms presented under the terms of Resolution 687. Iraq's breaches related not only to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), but also the known construction of prohibited types of missiles, the purchase and import of prohibited armaments, and the continuing refusal of Iraq to compensate Kuwait for the widespread looting conducted by its troops during the 1990–1991 invasion and occupation. It also stated that "...false statements or omissions in the declarations submitted by Iraq pursuant to this resolution and failure by Iraq at any time to comply with, and cooperate fully in the implementation of, this resolution shall constitute a further material breach of Iraq's obligations."
I Can go on and on but you get the point !!
RUSSIASINVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATEDINTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination

there was not any Observers in Crimea from OSCE and UN in this so called referendum
And yes I would vote Yes in a referendum too if I had 20,000 Russian soldiers pointing their weapons at me when I was standing at the votingbox.
When RuSSia actually get another country (besides North Korea and a couple of other basket-cases) to support the claim of ownership of Crimea, I hope Putin will let us know, In the meantime, Putin can and will do what the Kremlin like there, but it will always belong to Ukraine and in the end it will go back to Ukraine
TODAYS RUSSIA ! ALL DONE WITH OUT ANY LEGAL STANDING WITHOUT ANY UN MADATE !!

VIETNAM.. Vietnam war Was not started by the USA it was a proxy war started by the USSR and China to export communism and the French was in Vietnam first fighting a war know as Indochina War of the The Vietnam War (Vietnamese: Chiến tranh Việt Nam), also known as the Second Indochina War 1946, leaving Vietnam in the hands of the French. Soon thereafter, the Viet Minh began a guerrilla war against the French Union forces, beginning the First Indochina War. The Viet Minh fight was hampered by a lack of weapons; this situation changed by 1949 when the Chinese Communists had largely won the Chinese Civil War and were free to provide arms to their Vietnamese allies In January 1950, the People's Republic of China and the Soviet Union recognized the Viet Minh's Democratic Republic of Vietnam, based in Hanoi, as the legitimate government of Vietnam. The following month the United States and Great Britain recognized the French-backed State of Vietnam in Saigon, led by former Emperor Bảo Đại, as the legitimate Vietnamese government. : Geneva Conference (1954) Vietnam was temporarily partitioned at the 17th parallel, and under the terms of the Geneva Accords, civilians were to be given the opportunity to move freely between the two provisional states In December 1960, the National Liberation Front (NLF, a.k.a. the Viet Cong) was formally created with the intent of uniting all anti-GVN activists, including non-communists. This was what happened the Chinese and Soviet government started this proxy war to export communism the west and USA reacted on the request for help from the Vietnam government at the time,,,
Did the United States win or lose the Vietnam War? We are taught that it was a resounding loss for America, one that proves that intervening in the affairs of other nations is usually misguided. The truth is that our military won the war, but our politicians lost it. The Communists in North Vietnam actually signed a peace treaty, effectively surrendering. But the U.S. Congress didn't hold up its end of the bargain. In just five minutes, learn the truth about who really lost the Vietnam War.

YOU NEED TO RED SOM FACT ... Vietnam war Was not started by the USA it was a proxy war started by the USSR and China to export communism and the French was in Vietnam first fighting a war know as Indochina War of the The Vietnam War (Vietnamese: Chiến tranh Việt Nam), also known as the Second Indochina War 1946, leaving Vietnam in the hands of the French. Soon thereafter, the Viet Minh began a guerrilla war against the French Union forces, beginning the First Indochina War. The Viet Minh fight was hampered by a lack of weapons; this situation changed by 1949 when the Chinese Communists had largely won the Chinese Civil War and were free to provide arms to their Vietnamese allies In January 1950, the People's Republic of China and the Soviet Union recognized the Viet Minh's Democratic Republic of Vietnam, based in Hanoi, as the legitimate government of Vietnam. The following month the United States and Great Britain recognized the French-backed State of Vietnam in Saigon, led by former Emperor Bảo Đại, as the legitimate Vietnamese government. : Geneva Conference (1954) Vietnam was temporarily partitioned at the 17th parallel, and under the terms of the Geneva Accords, civilians were to be given the opportunity to move freely between the two provisional states In December 1960, the National Liberation Front (NLF, a.k.a. the Viet Cong) was formally created with the intent of uniting all anti-GVN activists, including non-communists. This was what happened the Chinese and Soviet government started this proxy war to export communism the west and USA reacted on the request for help from the Vietnam government at the time,

THE JIHADIST IN AFGHANISTAN WAS INFACT THE SOVIETS FAULT THEY CREATED THIS REACTION BY INVADING AFGHANISTAN BACK IN THE DAY
ISIS CAME OUT OF AL QAEDA
ISIS was founded by Abu Musab Al Zarqawi who originally was a member of Al Qaeda and one of the top guys !!! ... The split came due to power struggles within the Al Qaeda org.
After the death of (terrorist) Osama bin Laden and his protege Ayman al-Zawahiri (terrorist)'s and his accomplice in carrying out bad deeds, Al Zarqawi started ISIS... Al Zarqawi sees at the time this fight as a continuance of the Afghan war that he and his old buddy Bin Ladin had with Russia in the mind of Al Zarqawi anyone that is an infidel and from the west (what he sees as the west any christian nation ) is the enemy of islam !!! and that is why ISIS sees all of the world as an Islamic state this is their end goal !
The Russians USSR started this problems where muslims from all over the world went to a jihad by invading Afghanistan, the against the infidel was going on long before US, force even was able to point out on a map where the f...Afghanistan even was.. If Russia did not try and take over Afghanistan to export Kremlin domains over the country then this situation we have today with jihadist will most likely never developed in the way it has .
NEXT YOU WILL ASK WHO GAVE mujahideen STINGER MISSILES !!!!!
YES...back in the day it was the US that gave the mujahideen STINGER MISSILES.... but they did not start the war in AFGHANISTAN BACK IN THE DAY it was the USSR in 1979 that did that and that hornists nest and made that snow ball rolling, that was Russia controlled USSR that started it all by themselves ...
The Russians started this problems by invading Afghanistan 1979 and the US and the west responded by giving the stinger rockets to help the peoples freedom fighters of Afghanistan fight back the Russian invaders, the west and the US was helping defenseless people from what the USSR was doing with Russians helicopter gunships, they RuSSians was killing civilians and children in a scale that even STALIN will have be disgusted with a massive onslaught of killing of civilians So the fact the USA give the Afghani peoples freedom fighters some small help to help fight the evil, Russian control USSR is a good thing..
And lets get some facts correct the Taliban my friend was never in good with the white house and the oval office in the 80's, or with Reagan back in the day or anyone else in the west; as the Taliban did not see the light of day before after the war was over when the USSR pulled out then and only then did what we know today as the Taliban see its creation and was formed; WHEN THE USSR had pulled out of Afghanistan they left the country in a power vacuum with warlords all over the place they stated to form their own militant groups one of them was the Taliban among others and infighting between all the dif. groups started and after a lot in revelry the Taliban ended up as one of the dominate militant groups ...
The people that was in good the with Ronald W.Reagan White House, was the mujahideen (not to be confused with the Taliban ) the mujahideen that is who the US. was helping fight the evil of Russian USSR in the 80' the ppl. that was good in with Reagan was the leaders of the mujahideen fighters and the mujahideen fighters ended up later as the North United Front, The United Front was formed in late 1996 against the Taliban government by opposition factions of the old mujahideen fighters.
But after the USA invaded Afghanistan The North Front became part of the North Alliance (The Afghan Northern Alliance officially known as the United Islamic Front for the Salvation of Afghanistan they became part of the Afghani ppl. that was fighting the Taliban and extreme jihadist in Afghanistan ) and they was hard core enemies of the Taliban. The Taliban was formed by some brake aways groups of the mujahideen and other groups as well that is true; but they was never the mujahideen as such and not a fare from the mujahideen we had as allies fighting the Russians back in the day YOU NEED TO GET YOUR FACTS CORRECT...

IRAQ Why did America invade Iraq in 2003? Was it for oil? Or was it because Saddam Hussein was a mass-murdering dictator who harbored terrorists and threatened the region with Weapons of Mass Destruction?
If it was the former, wouldn't it have been a lot easier to just buy Iraq's oil on the open market?
And if it was the latter, why did Hillary Clinton, Joe Biden and John Kerry support President Bush?
Noted British historian, Andrew Roberts, has the answers.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T2tbpUqNwRU
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgQw8EhPJWw
Members of Congress of both political parties, and members of the United Nations Security Council, (that both Russia and China are members of and both have veto rights in the UN Security Council ) agree at the time that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must disarm.
Following the adoption of Security Council Resolution 1483 two months after the war, then-UN Secretary General Kofi Annan appointed a Special Representative for Iraq and the UN assumed some small responsibilities there.
In August 2003, an attack on UN headquarters in Baghdad confirmed the critics' fears, killing fifteen UN staff including the Special Representative. The UN in February 2004, the UN agreed to send a mission to the country, to help construct a new interim government..
US and UK officials have argued that existing UN Security Council resolutions related to the 1991 Gulf War and the subsequent ceasefire (660, 678), and to later inspections of Iraqi weapons programs (1441), had already authorized the invasion,,
The United Nations Security Council Resolution 660 and 67 and 1441 made the iraq war legal !!

5. LIBYA Claim: NATO's operation over Libya was illegitimate
The NATO-led operation was launched under the authority of two UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR), 1970 and 1973, both quoting Chapter VII of the UN Charter, and neither of which was opposed by Russia.
http://www.un.org/en/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=S/RES/1970(2011)
http://www.un.org/en/ga/search/view_doc.asp?symbol=S/RES/1973(2011)
UNSCR 1973 authorized the international community "to take all necessary measures" to "protect civilians and civilian populated areas under threat of attack". This is what NATO did, with the political and military support of regional states and members of the Arab League.
After the conflict, NATO cooperated with the UN International Commission of Inquiry on Libya, which found no breach of UNSCR 1973 or international law, concluding instead that "NATO conducted a highly precise campaign with a demonstrable determination to avoid civilian casualties."

We NEED to understand this :
RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA attacks its target by just being between the gray areas of what is the truth and lies that small crack between the two ; between the light and the dark; between the cracks of the open spaces: in other words they mislead by false appearances and illusions and those doubt and confusing is the order of the day !
And that's why it is so effective, as it is neither lies or truth, is not half truths or half lies; its all of the above and none of the above !!!
It is not made to make you believe in anything or disbelieve anything, it's made to make you doubt and distrust your own reality of what you have of experience about your own society what the world , society has objectivity shown you to be truth, you start to doubt your own society there is no objectivity grounded facts and truth ; everything is subjective and floating, nothing is clear-cut no universal truth.
Russian propaganda just sows enough doubt and confusion, that you just ignore your own thoughts of what you know is true and therefore rocks with your internal conviction and your physical sense of being ! It doesn't try to make you believe anything but to trust nothing and doubt everything around you .. !
In the shadow world of the Kremlin's FSB its called Active measures, and it's psychological subversion and confusion management at its highest level ; what some ppl. may call gaslighting but fare more sophisticated than so !
Its not intelligence collection the FSB and GRU is doing when they run such psychological propaganda operations, but subversion of the countries populace minds and their reality : "active measures " is made to weaken the targets moral , to drive wedges in the the targets community alliances of all sorts, sow discord among allies, to weaken the western systems in the eyes of its own populace.
What Russian propaganda tries to do is mentally turn YOU into one of those "prisoners in the cave" like in Plato's Allegory of the Cave from Plato's Republic (in the theory of forms ) , you see shadows and reflections of what they show you and a twisted from of reality is then reality a type of distorted the truth and facts ; the light and truth has become "shadows on a wall " where you are not sure anymore and started to think and doubt facts and truth believing that maybe up is down, white is black, left is right; truth is lies and fact is fiction !!
And those you will find yourself a solace in your own ignorances and doubt and in some cases you may even choose to be hostile to anyone that challenges whatever preconceptions and notions of doubt you have being gaslighted into thinking is the " truth ( "shadows on a wall " so to speak ) !!!
You have been victimized and programmed by Russian propaganda to believe or disbelieve whatever is the kremlin narrative, you have became a dubious fool that is " on the horns of a dilemma" and you end up in rejecting grounded norms and truth and just willing become accepting of what suites the kremlin narrative; you start repeating Kremlin talking points like a parrot and you are more or less incapable of critical independent sovereign thinking a cognitive dissonance prevails; you will struggle to gain the knowledge and enlightenment needed to analyze contradictory statements !
The target (civilized western world) " western societies populace and you are drained down into a muddy murky abyss of contradictory statements; in other words subversion of the target society (and YOU ) at this point is complete and your ability to illuminate your own thoughts and find truth is destroyed and the path for enlightenment critical thinking is therefore almost impossible..
THIS IS WHAT RUSSIANS FSB AND GRU CALL ACTIVE MEASURES !!
Like the Danish philosopher SØREN KIERKEGAARD once said ;
There are two ways to be fooled , one is to believe what ISN'T TRUE ; The other is to REFUSE to believe what is TRUE !!

In fact every war that the US has been involved in since the 2nd world war be it Korea, Vietnam , etc etc EUROPEAN AND NATO trops have been there for you every step of the way !!! SO WHO IS BEING ENTAILED HERE !! ..
ON A SIDE NOTE ; Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, several countries began military operations against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Afghanistan.
UKRAINE WAS ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES Ukraine was with the US. for 11 years side by side back to back with US forces !!!!
Ukraine allowed use of its airspace and airbases to the US and its allies, but only for cargo flights. Ukraine was a participant in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan and deployed troops as part of NATO's ISAF mission to the country. It contributed medical personnel supporting Provincial Reconstruction Teams, and provided instructors for NATO's Training Mission. After ISAF's mission ended in 2014, Ukraine supported the follow-on Resolute Support Mission (2015-2021) that trained, advised and assisted Afghan security forces

Eastern Europe joins NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be independent. Nobody forced them.
Russia just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might get invaded.
During Soviet times those countries where Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO then they couldn't guarantee their independence from Russia. Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure their independence, former satellite states like Poland,Romania,Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect running to and knocking at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come inn .
Russian controlled soviet union former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect ...couldn't wait to join NATO and the EU to get as fare away from Russian hegemony control as fast as the possibly can at the time .
If the Russians weren't suchaaaaholes, they wouldn't have to worry about EU NATO and former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect running too the front door of EU and NATO .

BEFORE SOMEONE STARTS SAYING USA AND NATO ILLEGALLY INVADES OTHERS BLA BLA BLA IS WRONG SOME WARS ARE LEGAL SOME ARE NOT ...LET ME TELL YOU THIS !!
1. Iraqi invaded Kuwait (first Iraq war ) and US responded with a UN secretary council mandate !! Members of Congress of both political parties, and members of the United Nations Security Council, (that both Russia and China are members of and both have veto rights in the UN Security Council ) agree at the time that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must disarm.
2. Afghanistan was harboring al-Qaede, and was asked to give up Bin Landen the refused and became a party in the 9/11 attacks ... so USA was attacked and it responded with a UN mandate
3. Libya was NOT USA it was in fact a UN security counsel section mission by the UN.. They asked NATO to help ... The NATO-led operation was launched under the authority of two UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR), 1970 and 1973, both quoting Chapter VII of the UN Charter, and neither of which was opposed by Russia.
4. In 2003 invasion of Iraq (2nd Iraq war )!! Everyone believed Saddam when he said he had weapons and why not believe he had only some years before in the IRAN /IRAQ war used such weapons so there was not reason to not to believe him and he was offered several time to prove he did not have and let the UN weapons inspectors in to confirm or disconfirm if he had those weapons that everyone believed he had and he refused to let in the UN weapons inspectors (by the way how was french not American ) and the UN Security Council that Russia and CHINA are members of and has veto vote in (so they can use veto vote to block anything they want )did not have any problem in the United Nations Security Council and US demanding Saddam follow the restriction and demands that was imposed by the United Nations Security Council at they time !! Because everyone's own intelligence agency (not just the US ) even Russia and china was convinced Sadam did in-fact have WMDs
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 is a United Nations Security Council resolution adopted unanimously by the United Nations Security Council on 8 November 2002, offering Iraq under Saddam Hussein "a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations" that had been set out in several previous resolutions (Resolutions 660, 661, 678, 686, 687, 688, 707, 715, 986, and 1284).[1] It provided a justification for what was subsequently termed the US invasion of Iraq !!!
Resolution 1441 stated that Iraq was in material breach of the ceasefire terms presented under the terms of Resolution 687. Iraq's breaches related not only to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), but also the known construction of prohibited types of missiles, the purchase and import of prohibited armaments, and the continuing refusal of Iraq to compensate Kuwait for the widespread looting conducted by its troops during the 1990–1991 invasion and occupation. It also stated that "...false statements or omissions in the declarations submitted by Iraq pursuant to this resolution and failure by Iraq at any time to comply with, and cooperate fully in the implementation of, this resolution shall constitute a further material breach of Iraq's obligations."
IF RUSSIA DID NOT PLAY BALL ON THE LYBIA ISSUE AND RUSSIA DID NOT WANT THE UN TO ASK NATO TO TAKE OUT LYBIA WHY DID RUSSIA NOT USE ITS VETO RIGHT IN THE UN AND STOP ANY ACTION ????
Resolution 1441 stated that Iraq war as Iraq was in material breach of the ceasefire terms presented under the terms of Resolution 687. Iraq's breaches related not only to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), but also the known construction of prohibited types of missiles, the purchase and import of prohibited armaments, and the continuing refusal of Iraq to compensate Kuwait for the widespread looting conducted by its troops during the 1990–1991 invasion and occupation. It also stated that "...false statements or omissions in the declarations submitted by Iraq pursuant to this resolution and failure by Iraq at any time to comply with, and cooperate fully in the implementation of, this resolution shall constitute a further material breach of Iraq's obligations."
I Can go on and on but you get the point !!
RUSSIASINVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATEDINTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations

4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
there was not any Observers in Crimea from OSCE and UN in this so called referendum
And yes I would vote Yes in a referendum too if I had 20,000 Russian soldiers pointing their weapons at me when I was standing at the votingbox.
When RuSSia actually get another country (besides North Korea and a couple of other basket-cases) to support the claim of ownership of Crimea, I hope Putin will let us know, In the meantime, Putin can and will do what the Kremlin like there, but it will always belong to Ukraine and in the end it will go back to Ukraine
TODAYS RUSSIA ! ALL DONE WITH OUT ANY LEGAL STANDING WITHOUT ANY UN MADATE !!

Russia’s Life-Saver: Lend-Lease Aid to the U.S.S.R. in World War II clear case that the program was a major factor in the survival of the Soviet Union and the victory over Nazism. A well kwoen Russian historian says ... The Importance of Lend-Lease cannot be overestimated with out the USA the USSR will never driven Hitler out of Russia..
The importance of economic cooperation with the U.S. and Canada cannot be overestimated. According to the dollar rate of 2003, the inflation-adjusted value of these supplies amounted to $130 billion.
These supplies were critical in some key areas.
For example, in the beginning of 1942, Western tanks fully replenished Soviet losses, and exceeded them by three times. About 15 percent of the aircraft used by Soviet air forces were supplied by Allies, including the Airacobra fighter and Boston bomber.
The Allies supplied 15,000 state-of-the-art machines at that time; for example, famous Soviet ace Alexander Pokryshkin flew Airacobra, as did the rest of his squadron. He shot down 59 enemy aircraft, and 48 of them were thanks to American military equipment.
With major agricultural regions of the Soviet Union under enemy occupation, and the unsatisfactory system of distribution and transportation, to say nothing of mismanagement, the Soviet state had more than a nodding acquaintance with famine. Without Western aid, during the war the Soviet population would have been in danger of sharing the fate of those trapped in Leningrad and the earlier victims of collectivization. Even with the American aid, many Russians died from lack of food. Equally important was Lend-Lease’s contribution to transportation. It would have been impossible for the Red Army to move the masses of troops and supplies on the primitive roads to the front lines without American Studebaker trucks, which also served as the launching pads for the dreaded Soviet rocket artillery.
Besides weaponry and food, Lend-Lease provided the Soviet Union with other resources, ranging from clothing to metals. With the start of the Cold War, Lend-Lease became a forgotten chapter in Soviet history and was only revived after glasnost. Now, thanks to Russian researchers and this excellent study, the West will have access to the real story. Lend-Lease provided vital help for the Soviet Union when the country was in desperate straits and made a significant contribution to the final victory. It also strengthened Josef Stalin, a fact that did not bother its chief architect, Franklin D. Roosevelt, who saw beyond the Allied victory and looked at Stalin as a counterbalance to the European colonial powers.

GIVING A SURRENDER IS NOT A PEACE DEAL ITS A SHAKE DOWN !!!! Anyone can make a peace deal when they surrender, which is what Trump is asking Ukraine to do.
Trump and his admin appear to be Putin's lifeline.
Its obvious what happened. A US president tried to shake down a foreign leader for mineral rights in Ukraine. The USA has abandoned its leadership role in the world and is now just for sale. The Republicans have lost their minds and perhaps their souls. Siding with Russia.
JD Vance talks about Zelensky being disrespectful and then points his finger and raises his voice TAKING talking down to Zelensky like he was som sort of child talking this way at a President of a sovereign state who is a visitor in the White House; coming to give 50% of his county natural resources and a deal that is more like a shake down than anything else after VANCE AND TRUNP has call him a dictator and never said any bad word other the praise for Putin .
I did not see Zelenskyy raising his voice. I did not see any arrogance. I saw him attempting to explain that a cease fire without guarantees would not work. He could not get a word in. The tirade of obscene fury from Trump and Vance left no room for a discussion of the issues. Trump, of course, continued lying.
Lets see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
The pro PUTIN BOOT LICKERSthat are putins but boys Trump and JD saying Ukraine has to give up on wanting its land back give up on wanting the Black sea back give up on wanting the Azov sea back give up on wanting its cities back its people ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass Russia wants so give it up ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..
FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5:
1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression.
2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility.
3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!! There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since World War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would.
And it’s because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. --
Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other cities to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from
USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

And what is the truth? let's look at some facts !
Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...

The Russian trolls like to pump up myths about billions of dollars going to Ukraine in aid when their own ppl. in America are struggling this myth has got massive traction among pro Russian bloggers and Russians sycophants like Tucker Carlsen !!
We need to understand the truth and facts here and that is ; That the military aid amounts that are cited too Ukraine are not direct cash payments , but the estimated value of unused surplus weapons with expiring shelf lives, along with technical training, education and other services. (so those weapons will have been sent for destruction anyway as the shelf lives of those weapons are going out of date )
“USA is not giving cash to Ukraine; US are adding up the value of the military support that US. are providing to Ukraine,” “This is equipment and technicians, training, whatever it is, USA adds up that value, and that’s the dollar amount that US is quoting . It’s essential services the the US are providing to Ukraine.”
Based on the form of aid given to Ukraine, EVERYONE can and should dismissed concerns about corruption sometimes cited by Western critics, and pro Russians bloggers!!!!! As the opportunity for corruption in this type of aid and market is extremely low compared to just giving money. So, there should be a lot more reassurance to the American people.”

The aid is not free cash it’s the equivalent of those dollars in hardware !!!
its hardware from old equipment of military stock piles that will have been sent or about to be sent for destruction and will have been replaced anyway as its shelf life storage l is over and out dated or about to be over date !! (this way US saves money by not having to safely destroy those weapons only replace them )
The military equipment has been pulled directly from existing U.S. military old SURPLUS inventory that has a shelf date that soon will be past that date ; and will be needing replacement anyway this way US. gets to restock its military equipment with more newer updates versions and send the soon to by out of date to Ukraine and as a bonus US. military saves the money it will have used for destroying the old military equipment as well !!
Also it is true other parts of the Aid / funding will be used to purchase new weapons and this will be sent to Ukraine; but all sales must be and will be bought from the US industrial complex industry and American manufacturers; this supports local American communities in states (over 33 states ) that produce weapon's this helps marginalized communities and sates get a solid cash influx / bust into their local economy and supports jobs within the factors that will be producing those new weapons.-.
(So the money doesn't go into the pockets of Zelensky and friends thats a myth pumped out by Russian propaganda and regurgitated by "pathetic tools" of the kremlin like TuckerCarlsen or MUSK )
Members of Congress have questioned how closely the U.S. is tracking its aid to Ukraine to ensure that it is not subject to fraud or ending up in the wrong hands.
The Pentagon’s inspector general told lawmakers at a hearing, that his office has found no evidence of such corruption or wrongdoing, but cautioned that investigations are only in their early stages.
The Pentagon’s inspector general also informed the Members of Congress that despite claims to the contrary, the United States is not sending bags of unaccounted-for cash to Ukraine. Most US contributions go to military aid, including weapons and equipment made by American defense contractors who employ communities across the country. When the United States spends money to purchase military equipment as part of an international aid package, the materiel may go overseas, but the money and jobs stay in America. Similarly, appropriations for the US Foreign Military Financing program provide incentives for NATO allies and partners to secure US-made capabilities. This translates to more business for US companies and sustained employment for rural communities in which they operate.
For instance, Lockheed Martin, maker of the HIMARS—which has been central to Ukraine’s counteroffensive—plans to increase its Camden, Arkansas facility’s workforce by 20%, and recently announced increased profit projections through the end of the year. Similarly, General Dynamics has committed to building new production facilities in Mesquite, Texas, bringing money and jobs to the region. Change like this takes place only when the Pentagon sends strong and stable market signals to the defense industry, giving it the confidence to expand and hire.
In short, the numbers suggest that continued support for Ukraine is a win-win for Ukrainians and the American people.
The United States can continue to defend stability and democratic governance across the globe, while at the same time boosting American industrial output and advancing US economic interests.

1,400,000 Soviets ethnic Russians joined the-NAZI-Wehrmacht forces as Hiwis (or Hilfswillige) in the initial stages of the German German Operations in WW2, ahead of the subsequent implementation of the more oppressive administrative methods by the SS. As much as 20% of the German manpower in Russia was composed of the former Soviet citizens and they was of ethnic Russian decent..
And how do we know the was ethnic Russians that joined the Hilfswillige and not other ethnics groups you ask ....
We know this because to get into the Hilfswillige you had to be ethnic Russian ..the germans was fanatical about putting anything into ethnic lines including (but not limited to ) the structure of the army..
Russian collaborationism with the Axis powers SS Sturmbrigade RONA Russian volunteers in the German Army https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_collaborationism_with_the_Axis_powers
Russians command-nazi-headquarters were located in Minsk, Soviet Belarus.

1,400,000 Soviets (Russians ) joined the Wehrmacht forces as Hiwis (or Hilfswillige) in the initial stages of the German
Soviet authorities referred to the Hiwis as "former" Russians regardless of the circumstances of their joining or their fate at the hands of the NKVD secret police ...
They were known as the "Trawniki men" (German: Trawnikimänner). Trawnikis were sent to all major killing sites of the "Final Solution", which was their primary purpose of training. They took an active role in the executions of Jews at Bełżec, Sobibór, Treblinka II, Warsaw (three times), Częstochowa, Lublin, Lvov, Radom, Kraków, Białystok (twice), Majdanek as well as Auschwitz, and Trawniki itself
Russians in the German Army can be divided into three categories. Firstly, soldiers mobilized by German troops, which are attached to German divisions. Secondly, Hilfswillige [Voluntary Assistants] made up of ethnic Russian prisoners who volunteer, or those Red Army soldiers who desert to join the Germans.
This category wears full German uniform, with their own ranks and badges. They eat like German soldiers and they are attached to German regiments. Thirdly, there are ethnic Russian prisoners who do the dirty jobs, kitchens, stables and so on. These three categories are treated in different ways, with the best treatment naturally reserved for the Russian volunteers in the German Trawnikimänner Army.. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hiwi_(volunteer)
MYTH Ukrainians are world champions in collaborating with the-nazis-
Reality: Russians military collaboration with the-nazis-was larger than that of Ukrainians. Researchers estimate that there were between 180,000 to 250,000 people from the “Ukrainian formations” working in the structures of the Wehrmacht, SS, police and others; the amount of people from the “Russian formations” varies between 600,000 to 800,000, depending on the methodology.
This difference is significant, considering that Ukraine was fully occupied by Germany and many ukrainians was forced into working with the german authorities and with Ukraine having all if its population under german control and Russia only having 17% of Russia that was occupied by germany at the time.. And lets not forget the fact that Ukraine was occupied for a lot longer time than Russia was.
What were the factors underlying Russian and Ukrainian collaboration? Ukraine were suffering from Stalin’s totalitarian regime and were hoping to overthrow Soviet power. Ukrainians had an additional motive behind their desire for USSR’s defeat – they wanted to restore their state independence. This especially concerned residents of western Ukraine, who were part of the USSR for less than two years, and this short experience was not rosy taking into account that the Russian only 8 years before had committed a genocide on the Ukrainian people and killed 10 mill of them (the holodomor genocide) so it is understandable they was very skeptical to the Russians and after all at that time most Ukrainians did not know the germans and Hitler intentions like they did when it came to Stalin and Russians.. .
The myth that Ukrainians especially collaborated with the Nazis was cultivated in the USSR not only to hide facts of Russian collaboration, but also to vilify the liberation movements that fought against Soviet rule and justify the fight of the Soviet NKVD against their remnants after the war ended.
The chief target of the attacks is the Ukrainian Insurgent Army, or UPA, which following a short term of collaborating with Hitler in hopes of achieving an independent state turned against Germany. Both the Soviets and the Germans considered UPA’s actions as an anti-German uprising.

To put things in perspective, Ukraine had 176 ICBMs and over 2000 tactical nukes along with bombers able to carry them. They gave it all up in exchange for security guarantees from USA, UK and Russia ( Budapest Memorandum 1994 ). One would say that assisting Ukraine now when its being invaded should be obvious thing to do when you signed up on their security and they gave up literally thousands nukes...
Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!!
There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since Word War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would. And its because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. -- Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...

@bilic8094 Claim: The cases of Kosovo and Crimea are identical
Fact: The Kosovo operation was conducted following exhaustive discussion involving the whole international community dealing with a long-running crisis that was recognized by the UN Security Council as a threat to international peace and security.
Following the operation, the international community engaged in nearly ten years of diplomacy, under UN authority, to find a political solution and to settle Kosovo's final status, as prescribed by UNSCR 1244.
In Crimea, there was no pre-existing crisis, no attempt to discuss the situation with the Ukrainian government, no involvement of the United Nations, and no attempt at a negotiated solution.
In Kosovo, international attempts to find a solution took over 3,000 days. In Crimea, Russia annexed part of Ukraine's territory in less than 30 days. It has sought to justify its illegal and illegitimate annexation, in part, by pointing to a "referendum" that was inconsistent with Ukrainian law, held under conditions of illegal armed occupation with no freedom of expression or media access for the opposition, and without any credible international monitoring.
Claim: Russia's annexation of Crimea was justified by the opinion of the International Court of Justice on the independence of Kosovo
Fact: The court stated that their opinion was not a precedent. The court said they had been given a "narrow and specific" question about Kosovo's independence which would not cover the broader legal consequences of that decision.

@bilic8094 Claim: Russia has the right to demand a "100% guarantee" that Ukraine will not join NATO
Fact: According to Article I of the Helsinki Final Act
Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE) in 1975, every country has the right "to belong or not to belong to international organizations, to be or not to be a party to bilateral or multilateral treaties including the right to be or not to be a party to treaties of alliance." All the OSCE member states, including Russia, have sworn to uphold those principles.
In line with those principles, Ukraine has the right to choose for itself whether it joins any treaty of alliance, including NATO's founding treaty.
Moreover, when Russia signed the Founding Act, it pledged to uphold "respect for sovereignty, independence and territorial integrity of all states and their inherent right to choose the means to ensure their own security".
Thus Ukraine has the right to choose its own alliances, and Russia has, by its own repeated agreement, no right to dictate that choice.

@bilic8094 NOT EVER SERBIA AGREES WITH YOU BUDDY Belgrade recognises Ukraine in its entirety, including territories occupied by Russian forces, while Kyiv refuses to recognise the independence of Kosovo, which declared independence from Serbia in 2008.
Since 2022, Serbia has accepted Ukrainian refugees, sent humanitarian aid to Ukraine and pledged help with its post-war rebuilding effort.

Julian Assange, is a rapist that is running away from a charge in Sweden for Raping a young girl so when it comes to Julian Assange he has no credibility Julian Assange also ran away from a court order in Britain and that is why he was hiding out in the Ecuadorian Embassy, LIKE I HAVE SAID BEFORE WikiLeaks is working with FSB ...
IF those so-called social justice warriors (fighting for the little man ) had such a problem with surveillance and human rights abuses and prob. with and big government (as they claim to have ) why do they buddy up with Putin and his dictatorship ?? Putin's Russia is THE NR. 1 in surveillance and human rights abuses and big government in the world...!!!
I mean taking about surveillance Russia is running surveillance on everyone's phones, FB, and mail accounts in Russia .. ... The Kremlin has even admitted to the fact that Snowden is and was a Russian Agent.
Most likely the Snowden Operation was/is a cover to deflect attention from the one or more actual Russian moles who have been lurking inside NSA for years, undetected a smokescreen job (give out / leak information to protect you're other more important agents ) .
And Since Wikileaks itself is now more or less openly a front for the Kremlin, with its head Julian Assange mouthing pro-Putin propaganda with increasing frequency, there’s no reason to take its claims about Snowden seriously – particularly given Assange’s admitted role in getting the American to Moscow in the first place.
Russia has done the Impossible with Its New Surveillance Laws no one is safe !! see new surveillance laws include some of scariest Internet Legislation’s greatest hits
Russia’s new surveillance laws include some of Bad Internet Legislation’s scariest I greatest hits, such as mandatory data retention and government backdoors for encrypted communications—policies that EFF has opposed in every country where they’ve been proposed.
As if that wasn’t scary enough, under the revisions to the criminal code, Russians can now be prosecuted for “failing to report a crime.” Citizens now risk a year in jail for simply not telling the police about suspicions they might have about some sort of future terrorist acts or crimes they may or may not have known about.
But some of the greatest confusion has come from Internet service providers and other telecommunication companies. These organizations now face impossible demands from the Russian state to give information to the FSB about anyone using their service ...and if they do not play along they get shut down and the owners get jail...
IN RUSSIA the new act to the criminal code on The New Surveillance Laws, Russians and anyone else within Russia, can now be prosecuted for “failing to report what they think can become or can be a crime.” Citizens now risk a year in jail for simply not telling the police about suspicions they might have about a crime or something that can be a crime

What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is almost 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukraine Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries were nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..
Also these people who advocate this view that Ukraine shroud just give up land and appeasement to Russians wants wishes are also being very ignorant to the fact that there were already treaties in place between Russia and Ukraine where Russia respecting the integrity of Ukraine's borders plus other treaties relating to the seas around Ukraine.
Putin has already broken those treaties.
Why would Ukraine believe Putin would stick to a new treaty when he's just broken half a dozen of the previous Russia Ukraine treaties and agreements.
Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.

THE MYTH OF RUSSIA IS A SUPERPOWER ON THE WORLD STAGE DEBUNKED !
For centuries, Russia has seen itself as one of the world's great powers.
This superpower Russia status idea myth, seen by most of the world is now become a declining idea and the world is now seeing that Russia is not and has never been any super power; More and more ppl. now understand that Russia has only been masquerading as a "SUPER POWER " the Kremlin has been presenting itself as one and hiding behind the Myth of super power status; And even for some time the kremlin themself (one can argue) started to believe in their own lies, their own myth making and their own propaganda !
BUT AFTER UKRAINE THIS MYTH IS BUSTED !!
Russia: has only $1.48 trillion annual GDP that makes Russia about the same size economically on the level of Spain if your economy is as small as Spain how can you think even for one min you are some sort of super power, that has some spacial right to be seen on the same level as UK, US , or even China ???
Let's look at some fact here: Russia is closer to Indonesia and Australia economically, than it is UK , Germany , France US or Japan .. !!
And when it comes to having nukes dose that make you a super power, well UK and France has nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) as well and so does North Korea and even israel is claimed to have nuclear weapons, is North Korea or UK and France Super powers becouse they have nuclear weapons ???
1. United States: $20.89 trillion
2. China: $14.72 trillion
3. Japan: $5.06 trillion
4. Germany: $3.85 trillion
5. United Kingdom: $2.67 trillion
6. India: $2.66 trillion
7. France: $2.63 trillion
8. Italy: $1.89 trillion
9. Canada: $1.64 trillion

The Arab/Muslim Nazi Connection Moslems recruited the Nazi SS by Yasser Arafat's 'Uncle
The Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Husseini was later the notorious Nazi who mixed Nazi propaganda and Islam. He was wanted for war crimes in Bosnia by Yugoslavia.
His mix of militant propagandizing Islam was an inspiration for both Yasser Arafat and Saddam Husein: He was also a close relative of Yasser Arafat and grandfather of the current Temple Mount Mufti. "Arafat's actual name was Abd al-Rahman abd al-Bauf Arafat al-Qud al-Husseini. He shortened it to obscure his kinship with the notorious Nazi and ex-Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Muhammed Amin al-Husseini."
Arafat's brother and sister, described The Mufti of Jerusalem, Haj Amin al-Hussein as a cousin (family member) with tremendous influence on young Yassir after the Mufti returned from Berlin to Cairo. Yasser Arafat himself keeps his exact lineage and birthplace secret. Saddam Hussein was raised in the house of his uncle Khayrallah Tulfah, who was a leader in the Mufti's pro-Nazi coup in Iraq in May 1941.
al-Husseini was not only the founding father of the Arab national movement in Palestine. He was also a fervent anti-Semite, the most important Nazi collaborator in the Arab world, and a political activist who worked tirelessly for the ethnic cleansing and physical destruction of the Jews in Palestine and in the Middle East as a whole.
As Israelis face yet another wave of violence at the hands of Palestinians, and we ask yet again about its causes, a serious look at the Mufti’s role in crafting, justifying, and encouraging such violence becomes crucial for our understanding. For the Mufti not only founded Palestinian nationalism as we know it today, but defined it as an ideology of absolute rejectionism and even genocide. In effect, the Mufti denied that the Jews had any national rights whatsoever, and especially not in the historic Land of Israel.
In this, the Mufti originated the single most important obstacle to peace in the Middle East: The Palestinian refusal to accept Jewish sovereignty and even physical presence in any part of the Land of Israel. In many ways, to understand the Mufti is to understand why the Palestinians, despite numerous opportunities to do so, still refuse to make peace.,,

US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , becouse Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!

The Black Sea countries are many!! And Then Black Sea does not belong to Russia that’s a myth !!
Bulgaria, (NATO )
Romania (NATO)
Turkey (NATO)
Ukraine (NATO partner )
Georgia (NATO partner)
So in-fact ANY NATO country members navy and or air force is within their full right to sail and be within the Black Sea, as non of the Black Sea Nations (That have a real and legal int. recognized cost-line not like Russia ) have any problem with NATO ships being in their waters and even the non NATO members like Ukraine and Georgia, even more so then the NATO nations, want and are begging for more NATO ships to come and be in the BLACK SEA !
(NATO nations of the black sea are in-fact real black sea nations not like Russia stealing land then claiming to be the owner of that land and sea )
Coastline length to the black see by country/ Country Coastline length (km)
Turkey 1,329km (NATO)
Ukraine 2,782km (NATO partner )
Bulgaria 354km (NATO)
Georgia 310km (NATO partner )
Romania 225km (NATO)
AND ON A SIDE NOTE : NATO is already 500 km from Moscow via Latvia and 150 km from St, Petersburg via Estonia so the argument that NATO will get closer to Moscow if Ukraine joins NATO is BS there is 800 km from Kyiv to Moscow ..
And her is a thought .. if every neighbor you have is running to begging NATO to let them join NATO is it becouse you are such a nice and good neighbor? Or is it because you act like a bully and are aggressive and invade your neighbor lands sending in troops and tanks Hungary 1956, Czechoslovakia 1968, Poland 1980 Moldova 1990-91, Georgia 2008, Ukraine 2014 ++ and no all of Ukraine 2022+++ eat eat eat ... Maybe if you act in a more nicer way, then your neighbors will liked you more and maybe your neighbors in your neighborhood will want to be around you as well ..

Let's see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
LIKE i have said before ... Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Trump says just give up on wanting your cities, your land back your people , back ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass anyway that Russia wants so just give it up and we all can have some peace ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..
FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5:
1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression.
2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility.
3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

So you're telling me that JD Vance gave a fiery speech thrashing entire Europe over the lack of democracy and freedom of speech two days after the White House revoked the Associated Press’ accreditation for failing to obey and use “Gulf of America” in their reporting?
JD Vance is actually right -- Russia is not the biggest threat to Europe.
What's even bigger as a threat is irresponsible and infantile demagogues like JD himself, running for quick and easy-peasy solutions to matters of war and peace.
Lets see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.

Ukraine should just give Putin what he want Vance says its just a small part of Ukraine his says so whats the problem we need pace !!!
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!

The western feminist females have been supporting (for their own ant male agenda) for years the transgender and Lgbtq ++ movement!!! and females have been using the Lgbtq ++ movement as a sledgehammer to hammer down on masculinity and demonize the heterosexual males and especially white heterosexual males and they have been doing it for year pushing masculinity into the abyss for years !!!
But now those strong independent queens, those girl-bosses types of "I don't need a man" , Me woman strong hear my roar ! , Are getting all buhhhh cry baby about the situation, because their own Frankenstein monster is coming to eat its their own , taking-over female sports outsmarting females in feminist sphere The Frankenstein creation they have helped bring forwarded has now turned on them.
But those females have been for years more than happy to using the transgender Lgbtq ++ Frankenstein monster, against white heterosexual males to demonize white heterosexual males what western females have been calling toxic masculinity (basically means anything male and manly that they dont like ) ...
But now monster they was gladly unleashing unto others have come come full circle , the rooster have come home to roost , and it’s bitting them in their own backside!!! And now they are SOooo upset why NO one is helping them fight this transgender Lgbtq ++ Frankenstein monster the monster they themselves helped to unleash on men !! ... (where are all the white knights in shining armor to defend my innocent maiden honor thy cry ?)
Well you made your bed now you sleep in it honey , after all you are a strong independent women you don't need a man , and anything a man can do a woman can do as good or even better at-least that what you have been saying all this time ..
So now you have the chance to prove it!!

ON A SIDE NOTE : Even Igor Gerkin (aka ; Igor Strelkov) has no illusions about Russia is loosing in Ukraine her wrote this article take a look ..
Speculations on what would be good not to come true (for the coming year 2025)
So, the situation for the Russian Federation is characterized negatively: by the end of the third year of the FULL OUT INVASION, none of the tasks declared earlier as “goals of the NWO” has been fulfilled or is close to fulfillment:
1) The “Zelensky regime” has not been overthrown, but is holding on tighter than in 2022. “Under the war” the ‘derusification’ of Ukraine continued at an accelerated pace, the UOC of the Moscow Patriarchate was reformed, Nazi propaganda ‘brainwashed’ the population, hatred of Russia not only did not decrease, but increased manifold.
2) No “demilitarization of Ukraine” was achieved. On the contrary, - in front of our front there is a huge (several hundred thousand) group, armed hardly better than before the beginning of SWO, well organized, experienced, resistant and (despite the fatigue from the war) not showing any signs of soon disintegration. Part of this group is fighting on the territory of the “old regions” of the Russian Federation - in the Kursk region, from where our troops have failed to dislodge the enemy for more than 4 months. The AFU is increasing missile and drone attacks on the deep rear of our troops, reaching up to the Volga and beyond, hitting industrial and infrastructural facilities on an increasing scale from month to month.
3) The territories of the “new regions” (except for the Luhansk People's Republic) have not been liberated from the enemy: the enemy continues to firmly hold the capital and the right-bank part of the Kherson region, the capital and a significant part of the Zaporizhzhya region, and significant territories of the DNR. Our successes in Kharkiv region are insignificant and have not gone beyond the purely tactical. There is no chance that all “constitutional” territories of the Russian Federation can be liberated militarily in the near future.
To summarize - the NWO - in the form in which it started - has failed (has not achieved its objectives).
At one time one general, looking at the field of an already lost battle, said to Napoleon: “The battle is lost, but we still have time to win a second one.” (this was at the Battle of Marengo, which ended with the defeat of the seemingly victorious Austrian army). The point is that General Desaix brought reserves with him and they completely changed the course of the battle.
Do we and the enemy have reserves?
In the first case - the answer is ambiguous. Theoretically, yes. There are, and very significant. We still do not have a country at war, only the army is at war. There has been no mobilization of the armed forces and industry (the rear, the entire economy, etc.), except for individual (non-complex) measures of a “one-off” nature. As a result, we still have a significant mobilization potential, which, theoretically, could be used.
But “in practice” - we have a completely opposite and depressing picture: the army, which did not receive timely and sufficient means for a decisive victory, is exhausted and exsanguinated. Its forces are still enough to hold the front and even in some places (“turtle step”) to move forward with difficulty, winning purely tactical (but very “expensive”) successes. But the prospects for a strategic victory - to defeat the opposing forces of the enemy and force him (at least!) to sign a peace “on our terms” are more than doubtful. Simply put, our troops can “stall for time in the hope of chance” for quite a long time, but they cannot win. In its current form, at least.
Will general mobilization help us now (I emphasize!)? - I find it difficult to answer this question unequivocally. On the one hand, Napoleon (as in the battle of Marengo) would have been able to skillfully use all the reserves that came up. On the other hand, we somehow do not have “Napoleons”.
Both the country, the army and the population are already very tired of the three-year bloody and not very successful, to put it mildly, military campaign. The industry acutely feels the shortage of technical resources, and the stock of military equipment is apparently close to exhaustion (“thanks” to the “Syrian adventure”, “sales” for free/on credit from Rosoboronexport, “gifts” to “our African friends”, etc., etc.). I am not sure (I have no information, but I have my doubts): can the Ministry of Defense now arm, clothe, educate, train, organize, feed, form into units and formations, and then put into combat at least half a million more fighters? And for a strategic victory over “Ukraine” alone (I emphasize!) we need no less (and as if not one and a half or two times more), and these half a million should be “put to the front” not by “bringing water in glasses”, but at once or (in the extreme case) in two or three steps.
In addition to the “technical points” there is a second question: how will the country/people feel about this very general mobilization now - after “three years of bloody drudgery”? Instead of the long-awaited large reserves for the front, won't we get “fuel” for a revolt of the mobilized? Similar to what happened in Petrograd in February 1917? And there are prerequisites for this, as there are (I am more than sure of it) and forces in the so-called “elite” ready to initiate such a revolt, the discontent of the “liberal-western” part of which is hardly a secret for the country's leadership and special services. It seems that I am not alone in thinking of such negative options.... Perhaps they are taken into account in determining the “course for the earliest possible peaceful settlement”, which has already been openly proclaimed (just today I heard it performed by the patriarch): “Peace, you say? - Well, as we know. “A bad peace is better than a good war.”
But will Moscow expect this very “thin peace”? - I personally doubt it... And to demonstrate the validity of my doubts, I am going to characterize the situation (according to my estimates, of course) in the camp of the enemy. And I state: while waging an all-out war, the AFU has reserves. They have them both now and in the near future. According to various (reaching me) data, from 150 to 300 thousand newly mobilized soldiers are undergoing combat training in the EU countries. Plus, a part of the military is being trained in the so-called “Ukraine” itself. Let's subtract (for a fair account) 100 thousand deserters, “evaders”, etc. - and still we will get another 200 thousand enemy soldiers at the front by the spring of 2025. Let's assume that half of them will go to re-staff the broken and shattered units and formations. But even 100 thousand soldiers is, in fact, 3-4 full-fledged corps (or two armies). Which the enemy is preparing (receiving equipment from the U.S. and Europe, which are the “inviolable rear” of the AFU) not for a “truce”, but, of course, for his new offensive. And until it “burns” these (as well as newly created) reserves in a new attempt to break through our front, the so-called “Ukraine” will not agree to any truce. Even if it is suddenly “cut off” supplies of arms and equipment from the U.S. (supplies from Britain, France and Germany will continue this year with a 99% probability).
That is - in the next 4-6 months there will be no truce for sure, and the further depends solely on how successfully and efficiently our Armed Forces will repel another “onslaught” of a strong, experienced and well-armed enemy. I would like to believe that the “attack” will be as successful as it was in the summer of 2023, but even when it becomes a fact from an assumption, the question of “what to do next?” will remain on the agenda. - will remain on the agenda. Since there is only one “Ukraine” fighting against us today, and who might join it tomorrow is an uncertain question. But there are “candidates” - “limited participation” of NATO troops - already discussed and even put on the agenda at the highest level in the EU countries. Romania's participation in the liquidation of the unfortunate Transnistria is very likely, and after the events in Syria, it is even awkward to discuss the “reliability of a Turkish friend”....
In order for vultures to be afraid of “flying to the corpse of their prey”, it is necessary to be able to show that we are “still very much alive”. And this again requires real successes on the front. And they will not be achieved if large and well-trained (and also manageable!) reserves are not prepared.
“Our song is good - start again...”. Perhaps these words can be put in the title of this letter. If it reaches you, of course.

GIVING A SURRENDER IS NOT A PEACE DEAL ITS A SHAKE DOWN !!!! Anyone can make a peace deal when they surrender, which is what Trump is asking Ukraine to do.
Trump and his admin appear to be Putin's lifeline.
Its obvious what happened. A US president tried to shake down a foreign leader for mineral rights in Ukraine. The USA has abandoned its leadership role in the world and is now just for sale. The Republicans have lost their minds and perhaps their souls. Siding with Russia.
JD Vance talks about Zelensky being disrespectful and then points his finger and raises his voice TAKING talking down to Zelensky like he was som sort of child talking this way at a President of a sovereign state who is a visitor in the White House; coming to give 50% of his county natural resources and a deal that is more like a shake down than anything else after VANCE AND TRUNP has call him a dictator and never said any bad word other the praise for Putin .
I did not see Zelenskyy raising his voice. I did not see any arrogance. I saw him attempting to explain that a cease fire without guarantees would not work. He could not get a word in. The tirade of obscene fury from Trump and Vance left no room for a discussion of the issues. Trump, of course, continued lying.
In order to make peace he has to give up his country's most resourceful land.
He's a proud Ukrainian, who is tired of his people being pushed around by the Russians. Now the U.S. is trying to get their hands on the minerals.
Lets see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
The pro PUTIN BOOT LICKERSthat are putins but boys Trump and JD saying Ukraine has to give up on wanting its land back give up on wanting the Black sea back give up on wanting the Azov sea back give up on wanting its cities back its people ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass Russia wants so give it up ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..

For centuries, Russia has seen itself as one of the world's great powers.
This superpower Russia status idea myth, seen by most of the world is now become a declining idea and the world is now seeing that Russia is not and has never been any super power; More and more ppl. now understand that Russia has only been masquerading as a "SUPER POWER " the Kremlin has been presenting itself as one and hiding behind the Myth of super power status; And even for some time the kremlin themself (one can argue) started to believe in their own lies, their own myth making and their own propaganda !
BUT AFTER UKRAINE THIS MYTH IS BUSTED !!
Russia: has only $1.48 trillion annual GDP that makes Russia about the same size economically on the level of Spain if your economy is as small as Spain how can you think even for one min you are some sort of super power, that has some spacial right to be seen on the same level as UK, US , or even China ???
Let's look at some fact here: Russia is closer to Indonesia and Australia economically, than it is UK , Germany , France US or Japan .. !!
And when it comes to having nukes dose that make you a super power, well UK and France has nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) as well and so does North Korea and even israel is claimed to have nuclear weapons, is North Korea or UK and France Super powers becouse they have nuclear weapons ???
1. United States: $20.89 trillion
2. China: $14.72 trillion
3. Japan: $5.06 trillion
4. Germany: $3.85 trillion
5. United Kingdom: $2.67 trillion
6. India: $2.66 trillion
7. France: $2.63 trillion
8. Italy: $1.89 trillion
9. Canada: $1.64 trillion
10. South Korea: $1.63 trillion
11. Russia: $1.48 trillion
12. Brazil: $1.44 trillion
13. Australia: $1.32 trillion
14. Spain: $1.28 trillion
15. Indonesia: $1.05 trillion

This is what happens when you let feminists take over and control western society ; the western female feminists themselves start pulling down ("the male built" ) society by and giving other marxist woke ideologist access to power ( like; vegans , BLM , climate change activists, Lgbtq etc) Then you see a decline in traditional social western values systems , society changes and starts the demonization of white males (and that is what radical feminists want ) the death of masculinity the death of a traditional man's role the natural protectors of society are subdued and humiliated to silence shamed and demonized to "stand in the corner " and if they speak out against this sick leftists feminist ideology they are canceled !!!
Just think about it; All of this leftists BS started with feminism demonizing men , pushing men out and taking over, feminizing society. it’s was feminists that started to support lgbtq ++ agenda and other leftists like extremists and they did it , because they believed (and rightfully so ) and thought it will help them get an ally in their war against masculinity and what they call the patriarchy, it help them belittle manhood and what it means to be or not be a man!! they wanted to and have managed to achieve their goals of "muddy the waters "…
It’s a war against heterosexuality males and masculinity!!
Feminism did not create this perversion groups but they used them promoted then for their own benefit and agenda of demonizing a man’s role and identity , to bring down men and elevate women, because women can not compete in any sphere with a man so the only way they had left was destroying and demonizing manhoods role within society.. And now look where we all are !!

Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!!
There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since Word War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would. And it’s because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. -- Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other city's to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

Ask yourself this question ; Who benefits from this destabilization right now who ???

US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , becouse Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!
And here we can clearly see what such guarantees with the west is worth, it has been 8 years now since Russia invaded Ukraine in the east of the country and annexed parts of Ukraine in Crimea AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED so now Russia is going all inn and taking everything THE CAN!!
That is the result of worthless grantees !!
And here's something the WEST is clearly overlooking ; Taiwan , Israel and everyone else is also asking the question; CAN I TRUST THE WEST TO HOLD TO THEIR WORD AND STAND BY THE GUARANTEES THEY GIVE ! and not just Taiwan and Israel, is right now asking themselves those questions, but even small eastern European NATO member states that border Russia, will be asking themselves those questions as well !! IT'S ABOUT TRUST YOU LOSE TRUST YOU LOSE EVERYTHING!!
And her is the real kicker ; Also Iran, North Korea and China will be seeing what is going on and soon they will be thinking the west is weak; And the will be thinking and saying things like, just look what the west did when Russia was calling out their bluff about red lines in Ukraine ... The time is now, we have our chance to stick it to them !!!!
And then we will see China take Taiwan (so no more silicon-chips for you ) and then we will see Iran take Israel (middle east oil all gone and the middles east up in fire ) And when North Korea goes into South no more south Korea as north will take it over as well !!
SO YOUR OPTIONS ARE ,TO TAKE A STAND NOW OR LATER !!

So the question is Mr Trump wants to Stop The War or Stop Ukraine from resisting Russia's aggression and attack? And Donald Trump says nothing about how he will stop Russia.
That is, the rapist is justified and the victim of aggression is guilty. Everything is turned upside down..
GIVING A SURRENDER IS NOT A PEACE DEAL ITS A SHAKE DOWN !!!! Anyone can make a peace deal when they surrender, which is what Trump is asking Ukraine to do. Trump and his admin appear to be Putin's lifeline.
Trump is trying to force Ukraine into a capitulation a total surrender ; masquerading as a" PEACE DEAL " its not a peace deal when only one side must give up everything and the other side gets everything it wants ; and it defiantly not a peace deal when one side must give a 3rd party 50% of its natural resources and get nothing in return !!
This a MAFIA tactic it is putting a gun to someones head and telling them take this deal now; becouse either your brains or your signature will be on the document your choice !
ITS A SHAKE DOWN NOT A PEACE DEAL !!
TRUMP HAS :
- undermining democracy in the US by dismantling the division of forces (lawmaking, judiciary and executive). The core of any democracy. Clearly only benefits Russia
- tariffs hurt everybody (also US) but NOT Russia.
- creating international instability with his talks on Greenland, Canada and Panama. Typical Russian doctrine. If they fight amongst each-other, they don't focus on Russia. You just need to give them something to fight about. THIS ONLY BENEFITS RUSSIA
- his wife Melania was born and raised in communist Yugoslavia. Is she his agent handler??
Its obvious what happened. A US president tried to shake down a foreign leader for mineral rights in Ukraine. The USA has abandoned its leadership role in the world and is now just for sale.
The Republicans have lost their minds and perhaps their souls. Siding with Russia and trying to force Ukraine to accept an unjust "peace" without any security guarantees, other than you give us 50% of your natural resources rare metals your lithium, cobalt, scandium, graphite, tantalum, and niobium in Ukraine and Putin will never attack you because our companies are inside your country !!!!
WOW its was that easy all a long to scare off Putin just send American companies into Ukraine!! LOL ..... That the guarantee thats what they are now telling Zelenskyy this is what Trump and Vance are trying to sell Zelenskyy this is what they say is a security ;
WOW thats fantastic then why did the US. need to send all those weapons in the first place should have just sent in Microsoft, Ford motor company , Heinz Tomato Ketchup , Coca Cola , Mac Donalds. together with some big boys like Conoco Philips, Hecla Mining, Chevron and Goldman Sachs and last but not least The Walt Disney Company!! I hear Mickey Mouse big ears really scares Putin to death -- THEY TRYING TO PLAY UKRAINE AND FOR FOOLS SO WHO IS BEING DISRESPECTFUL HERE !!
ON A SIDE NOTE ; Following the September 11 attacks in 2001, several countries began military operations against Al-Qaeda and the Taliban during Operation Enduring Freedom (OEF) in Afghanistan.
UKRAINE WAS ONE OF THOSE COUNTRIES Ukraine was with the US. for 11 years side by side back to back with US forces !!!!
Ukraine allowed use of its airspace and airbases to the US and its allies, but only for cargo flights. Ukraine was a participant in the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force in Afghanistan and deployed troops as part of NATO's ISAF mission to the country. It contributed medical personnel supporting Provincial Reconstruction Teams, and provided instructors for NATO's Training Mission. After ISAF's mission ended in 2014, Ukraine supported the follow-on Resolute Support Mission (2015-2021) that trained, advised and assisted Afghan security forces
In order to make peace he has to give up his country's most resourceful land.
He's a proud Ukrainian, who is tired of his people being pushed around by the Russians. Now the U.S. is trying to get their hands on the minerals.
JD Vance talks about Zelensky being disrespectful and then points his finger and raises his voice TAKING talking down to Zelensky like he was som sort of child talking this way at a President of a sovereign state who is a visitor in the White House; coming to give 50% of his county natural resources and a deal that is more like a shake down than anything else after VANCE AND TRUNP has call him a dictator and never said any bad word other the praise for Putin .
I did not see Zelenskyy raising his voice. I did not see any arrogance. I saw him attempting to explain that a cease fire without guarantees would not work. He could not get a word in. The tirade of obscene fury from Trump and Vance left no room for a discussion of the issues. Trump, of course, continued lying.
I think when the USA have secret talks with Russia, then propose a deal that gives Russia land and The USA mineral wealth and potentially removes Zelenskyy i from office (allowing Russian puppet government or weak government) with no security guarantees offered other than Putin supposedly respecting Trump, especially when he knows that that Putin is a proven liar that breaks treaties at will, when his host in the oval office has called him a dictator and accused him of starting the war....... l think that that's gonna make Zelenskyy in a bad mood from the start.

By Putin launching military aggression against Ukraine, Russia violated fundamental norms and principles of international law, bilateral and multilateral agreements
Resorting to the military aggression against Ukraine, Russia violated fundamental norms and principles of international law, enshrined, in particular, in:
UN Charter (1945);
Helsinki Final Act (1975);
Declaration on Principles of International Law concerning Friendly Relations and Co-operation among States in accordance with the UN Charter (1970);
UN GA Resolution 3314 “Definition of Aggression” (1974);
Declaration on the Inadmissibility of Intervention in the Domestic Affairs of States and the Protection of Their Independence and Sovereignty (1965);
Declaration on the Inadmissibility of Intervention and Interference in the Internal Affairs of States (1981);
Declaration on the Enhancement of the Effectiveness of the Principle of Refraining from the Threat or Use of Force in International Relations (1987).
Russia had also violated number of bilateral and multilateral agreements, namely:
Budapest Memorandum on Security Assurances related to the Ukraine’s accession to the Non-Proliferation Treaty (1994);
Agreement on Friendship, Cooperation and Partnership between Ukraine and the Russian Federation (1997);
Agreement between Ukraine and the Russian Federation on the Ukrainian-Russian state border (2003);
Agreement between Ukraine and the Russian Federation on cooperation in use of the Azov Sea and Kerch Strait (2003);
Agreement between Ukraine and the Russian Federation on the status and conditions of Russian Black Sea Fleet in Ukraine (1999).
Russian occupation and further attempted annexation of Crimea and Sevastopol, as well as Russian illegal actions in Donbas, fall under the definition of aggression according to the points а), b), c), d), e) і g) Art.3 of the Annex to UN General Assembly Resolution “Definition of Aggression” (3314(XXIX)).
The following actions are a serious crime against international peace, which entails international responsibility of the Russian Federation at the state level and international criminal responsibility of its leadership.
AND YOU THINK RUSSIA WAS EVER GOING TO HOLD THE MINSK AGREEMENT
HAHAAH FOOOOOOLLLS IS WHAT YOU ARE !!

Understand this simple fact ..
TRUMP dose not support Russia ;
TRUMP dose not support Ukraine ;
TRUMP dose not support NATO ;
TRUMP dose not support Europe ;
TRUMP dose not support UK;
TRUMP dose not support AMERICA ;
TRUMP ONLY SUPPORTS TRUMP !!!!
Trump will act in what he sees as his best interest regardless of what that is ; So if he directly benefits or indirectly benefits siding with anyone or anything he WILL DO THAT !!
All you need do, if you want Trumps backing is simple just sweeten the honey pot , more than the other guy , show Trump he has more to directly and indirectly to gain standing with you contra the other guy !!
(Trump is deal oriented not ideology orientated ; remember Trump does not think in abstract teams in the traditional sense he is often inconsistent in the way he applies his values, his political action and ideas , etc etc. to his political stands / beliefs (take a look at his actions not his words ) he can change direction within a flash if he believes its more beneficial to him ) Concepts like fairness, justice, honor, and integrity quite literally do not register. You can see this in every interview or press encounter. He never states an abstract thought or idea.
"Instead he falls back on simple adjectives: disgraceful, horrible, low-intelligence, perfect, innocent, nasty, stupid, fake, etc. He's driven by negative emotion, often paranoid and often insulting, vulgar, vitriolic." (he will one day talk extremely ill of someone if he believes it benefits him the next day he will make them into The Vice President if he thinks it benefits Trump; JD Vance was one point knocking heads with Trump now he is VP, As the poles showed JD was very popular within the Republican base .
Trump will say someone is the worst enemy of the US. then the next day he will flip flop and shake their hand just look at Kim Jong Un of North Korea ; one day he was the rocket man that Trump was going to nuke then the next day he was his best friend (when trump though making a deal will give trump a noble pace prize) ; now Kim is back in the Trump bad box )
TRUMP IS FOR TRUMP ITS THAT SIMPLE UNDERSTAND THIS AND ITS GAME SETT AND MATCH WHEN DEALING WITH HIM !!

This superpower Russia status idea myth, seen by most of the world is now become a declining idea and the world is now seeing that Russia is not and has never been any super power; More and more ppl. now understand that Russia has only been masquerading as a "SUPER POWER " the Kremlin has been presenting itself as one and hiding behind the Myth of super power status; And even for some time the kremlin themself (one can argue) started to believe in their own lies, their own myth making and their own propaganda !
BUT AFTER UKRIANE THIS MYTH IS BUSTED !!
Russia: has only $1.48 trillion annual GDP that makes Russia about the same size economically on the level of Spain if your economy is as small as Spain how can you think even for one min you are some sort of super power, that has some spacial right to be seen on the same level as UK, US , or even China ???
Let's look at some fact here: Russia is closer to Indonesia and Australia economically, than it is UK , Germany , France US or Japan .. !!
And when it comes to having nukes dose that make you a super power, well UK and France has nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) as well and so does North Korea and even israel is claimed to have nuclear weapons, is North Korea or UK and France Super powers becouse they have nuclear weapons ???
1. United States: $20.89 trillion
2. China: $14.72 trillion
3. Japan: $5.06 trillion
4. Germany: $3.85 trillion
5. United Kingdom: $2.67 trillion
6. India: $2.66 trillion
7. France: $2.63 trillion

1. Iraqi invaded Kuwait (first Iraq war ) and US responded with a UN secretary council mandate !! Members of Congress of both political parties, and members of the United Nations Security Council, (that both Russia and China are members of and both have veto rights in the UN Security Council ) agree at the time that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must disarm.
2. Afghanistan was harboring al-Qaede, and was asked to give up Bin Landen the refused and became a party in the 9/11 attacks ... so USA was attacked and it responded with a UN mandate
3. Libya was NOT USA it was in fact a UN security counsel section mission by the UN.. They asked NATO to help ... The NATO-led operation was launched under the authority of two UN Security Council Resolutions (UNSCR), 1970 and 1973, both quoting Chapter VII of the UN Charter, and neither of which was opposed by Russia.
4. In 2003 invasion of Iraq (2nd Iraq war )!! Everyone believed Saddam when he said he had weapons and why not believe he had only some years before in the IRAN /IRAQ war used such weapons so there was not reason to not to believe him and he was offered several time to prove he did not have and let the UN weapons inspectors in to confirm or disconfirm if he had those weapons that everyone believed he had and he refused to let in the UN weapons inspectors (by the way how was french not American ) and the UN Security Council that Russia and CHINA are members of and has veto vote in (so they can use veto vote to block anything they want )did not have any problem in the United Nations Security Council and US demanding Saddam follow the restriction and demands that was imposed by the United Nations Security Council at they time !! Because everyone's own intelligence agency (not just the US ) even Russia and china was convinced Sadam did in-fact have WMDs
United Nations Security Council Resolution 1441 is a United Nations Security Council resolution adopted unanimously by the United Nations Security Council on 8 November 2002, offering Iraq under Saddam Hussein "a final opportunity to comply with its disarmament obligations" that had been set out in several previous resolutions (Resolutions 660, 661, 678, 686, 687, 688, 707, 715, 986, and 1284).[1] It provided a justification for what was subsequently termed the US invasion of Iraq !!!
Resolution 1441 stated that Iraq was in material breach of the ceasefire terms presented under the terms of Resolution 687. Iraq's breaches related not only to weapons of mass destruction (WMD), but also the known construction of prohibited types of missiles, the purchase and import of prohibited armaments, and the continuing refusal of Iraq to compensate Kuwait for the widespread looting conducted by its troops during the 1990–1991 invasion and occupation. It also stated that "...false statements or omissions in the declarations submitted by Iraq pursuant to this resolution and failure by Iraq at any time to comply with, and cooperate fully in the implementation of, this resolution shall constitute a further material breach of Iraq's obligations."
IF RUSSIA DID NOT PLAY BALL ON THE LYBIA ISSUE AND RUSSIA DID NOT WANT THE UN TO ASK NATO TO TAKE OUT LYBIA WHY DID RUSSIA NOT USE ITS VETO RIGHT IN THE UN AND STOP ANY ACTION ????

BEFORE SOMEONE STARTS SAYING USA ILIGAL INVADES OTHERS BLA BLA BLA ...
LET ME TELL YOIU THIS !!
1. Iraqi invaded Kuwait and US responded with a UN secretary council mandate !!
Members of Congress of both political parties, and members of the United Nations Security Council, (that both Russia and China are members of and both have veto rights in the UN Security Council ) agree at the time that Saddam Hussein is a threat to peace and must disarm.
2. Afghanistan was harboring al-Qaede, and was asked to give up Bin Landen the refused and became a party in the 9/11 attacks ... so USA was attacked and it responded with a UN mandate

IF RUSSIA DID NOT PLAY BALL ON THE LYBIA ISSUE AND RUSSIA DID NOT WANT THE UN TO ASK NATO TO TAKE OUT LYBIA WHY DID RUSSIA NOT USE ITS VETO RIGHT IN THE UN AND STOP ANY ACTION ????
I Can go on and on but you get the point !!
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention.
2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
there was not any Observers in Crimea from OSCE and UN in this so called referendum
And yes I would vote Yes in a referendum too if I had 20,000 Russian soldiers pointing their weapons at me when I was standing at the votingbox.
When RuSSia actually get another country (besides North Korea and a couple of other basket-cases) to support the claim of ownership of Crimea, I hope Putin will let us know, In the meantime, Putin can and will do what the Kremlin like there, but it will always belong to Ukraine and in the end it will go back to Ukraine
TODAYS RUSSIA ! ALL DONE WITH OUT ANY LIGAL STANDING WITHOUT ANY UN MADATE !!
1992 invasion and occupation Moldovan (Transnistria War)
1994 invasion and occupation Nagorno Karabakh

The Myth ; NATO is encircling and trying to contain Russia
Fact: NATO is a defensive alliance, whose purpose is to protect member states. Any exercises and military deployments are not directed against Russia – or any other country.
This myth also ignores geography. Russia's land border is just over 20,000 kilometres long. see here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borders_of_Russia Of that, less than one-sixteenth (1,215 kilometres), is shared with NATO members. Russia has land borders with 14 countries. Only five of them are NATO members.
Outside NATO territory, the Alliance only has a military presence in Kosovo and Iraq. The KFOR peacekeeping mission is carried out with a United Nations mandate, endorsed by the UN Security Council, of which Russia is a member in the UN security council and also where Russia has a veto vote so if Russia did not agree with UN security council asking NATO to have a military presence in Kosovo and Iraq why then not use its veto vote like it did in the UN security council over Syria ??
NATO's non-combat mission in Iraq is a key contribution to the fight against international terrorism and is carried out with full respect for Iraq's sovereignty and territorial integrity and at the request of the Iraqi government. In contrast, Russia has military bases and soldiers in three countries – Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine – without the consent of their governments.

THE MYTH … The USSR defeated-nazigermany without the help of allies. The Russian forces could have won the war without the help of other nationalities of the Soviet Union
THE TRUTH Soviet textbooks described the role of Soviet allies in the war in a rather superficial manner. While they are blamed for allowing the occupation of the Czech republic and waited till the last moment to open up the Second front, little is said about US help as part of the lend-lease program.
During the Cold War, this myth was particularly important, as it elevated the contribution of the Soviet Union and diminished the contributions of its allies who were now on the other side of the Iron Wall. Today, in line with the growing isolation of Russia from the West, this myth is once again accentuated, one recent example being the book of now-Minister of Culture of Russia Volodymyr Medynsky “War. Myths of the USSR. 1939-1945.”
In reality, the lend-lease was one of the decisive factors in the victory of the Allied forces against the Axis. The USSR, and Russia as its successor, still has not repaid its debt for the lend-lease to the USA.
According to different estimates, western equipment added up to:
* 12-16% of the equipment of the Soviet armored troops;
* 10-15% of USSR’s aviation
* 32.4% of its Navy.
Up to 70% of the transport of the Soviet army came from the USA, meaning that the Soviet army drove around mainly on US cars. While the USSR released only 600 trucks for mounting “Katyusha” mortars, the USA contributed 20,000 American Studebaker trucks, making it the main vehicle for Soviet artillery. Apart from that, the lend-lease program gave USSR 56% of its railroad tracks and 43% of tires; 42% of it sugar, 108% of meat preserves, 18% of aviation fuel.
The amount of locomotives that the West provided exceeded the USSR’s production by 2.4 times and the amount of train cars – by 10.2 times. The amount of food that the USSR received as part of the lend-lease would have been enough to feed a 10-million army over 1688 days, i.e. the whole course of the war.
THE MYTH…. For the USSR, World War II started on 22 June 1941. The proper name of the war is the “Great Patriotic War,” because the USSR was defending itself against the-nazzi-invasion
THE TRUTH .. In reality , the USSR started the war on 17 September 1939, when the Red Army crossed the border with Poland, occupying it in accordance to the union between the Third Reich and Soviet Union, outlined by the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact. “German and Soviet troops walked hand in hand. This was called a ‘military brotherhood’ in the USSR, before the war broke out,” noted Oleksandr Zinchenko from the Institute of National Memory. After Hitler started the war in Europe, the USSR provided economic assistance to-nazigermany-The USSR attempted to conceal these facts of collaboration with Hitler with the concept of the “Great Patriotic War,” which started out as a mere ideological cliché pronounced by Joseph Stalin during a radio broadcast on 3 July 1941, after-nazigermany-invaded Soviet Ukraine.
Today, the concept of “Great Patriotic War” is being used by the Russian Federation as an alternative to World War II in attempts to maintain its influence on Ukraine and post-Soviet republics.
THE MYTH.. The USSR is an innocent victim of German aggression and was always an enemy of the-nazzis-and did not work with them
THE TRUTH..: The USSR signed a non-aggression pact with-nazigermany-the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact, that not only defined broad economic cooperation with the Third Reich and agreement on mutual non-aggression, but also contained a secret protocol by which the USSR and Germany agreed to divide up Europe.
During Soviet times, and in Russia today, the existence of the-nazi–Soviet-pact was explained as a necessity that came only after fruitless negotiations with Britain and France, and that the invasions of Poland were unconnected to the pact. In fact, Stalin willingly ruined attempts to establish an anti-Hitler coalition. During 12-21 August 1939, negotiations with Britain and France about collaborating to meet growing security challenges associated with the Third Reich took place in Moscow, but did not amount to an agreement because the Soviet leadership demanded the right to occupy Poland’s regions Halychyna and Vilenska Oblast (today, western regions of Ukraine and Belarus), which the other side could not condone.
Both Stalin and Hitler were unsatisfied with the world order that came about after World War I, which made their collaboration natural. On 19 August 1939, Stalin spoke about the necessity to urge Europe into a great war, which would be an overture to a “world revolution;” on 23 August 1939, the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact was signed, outlining broad economic cooperation between the USSR and the Third Reich, and violating the sovereignty and territorial integrity of a range of independent countries.
In addition to the stated clauses of the Molotov-Ribbentrop non-aggression pact, a secret protocol was adopted, dividing territories of Romania, Poland, Lithuania, Latvia, Estonia, and Finland into German and Soviet “spheres of influence”, anticipating potential “territorial and political rearrangements” of these countries. The Kremlin denied the existence of the secret protocol to the Molotov-Ribbentrop pact up to 1992.
The Soviet-nazi-military collaboration is undeniably clear in photographs from the German–Soviet military parade in Brest-Litovsk on 22 September 1939 during the invasion of Poland.
The pact had the most tragic consequences for European nations and the world; it is this agreement that became the mechanism opening the doors for a new world war. What followed was the invasion of Poland by-nazigermany-and the USSR, followed by the further carving up of Europe.

Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed
some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....

MAGA: = Moscow Agent (‘Krasnov’) Governing America
Ukraine had an absolutely identical situation in Ukraine, when the Russian agent Yanukovych won the presidential elections back in 2010.
The fact that he was recruited by the Russian security service the FSB has already been well documented at this point (he is now living in MOSCOW with 40 billion dollars of stolen Ukrainian state funds.
The people of Ukraine, were absolutely confused. when Putins boy Yanukovych took office ; when they did not know what to do. they were apathetic and had no leaders.
When Yanukovych got into office he was fast to put other Russian agents in all the key gov. positions. Just so you understand, Yanukovych put a guy who had Russian citizenship in the post of Minister of Defense of Ukraine. Yanukovych and his people destroyed the Ukrainian army by systematic dismantling and shutting down departments; and in 4 years, stole the country's budget. Because of this, Ukraine was absolutely unprepared for the annexation of Crimea and the invasion of Russian "green men" in east Ukraine 2014.
I'm not the smartest person in the world, how come Trump is the only president to ever sucked up to Russia, and look how quick he's collapsing the US economy and now the US Allies turning their backs to America, starting a trade war with of all countries Canada 🇨🇦 and Mexico 🇲🇽
Americans! You are now in the same situation as Ukraine were. Your so-called president is a KGB recruit, agent "Krasnov". This has already been confirmed from various sources. And what he does now confirms it even more. Just look at who he appoints to key positions. How he betrays Ukraine and European allies. How he idolizes Putin. What other signals do you need to start acting?
MAGA and Putin are aligned, they want to make sure to make sure they sit with the money and power ; they don't like the free society. They aren't making a mistake. We are still not getting it
Trump is asking for what concessions Ukraine will makeLOOK AT IT THIS WAY (In court, the judge to the victim: OK, the burglar will not return to rob your house providing you give him concessions in the form of keeping what he has already stolen from you (and you lend him your wife, too) THAT SOUND LIKE JUSTICE TO YOU !! ?
Trump:
1. Threatens their ex-ally Canada with economic ruin if they don't allow the US to take them over "voluntarily".
2. Threatens Denmark that they will take Greenland from them one way or another because they wants it my precious, so they will haves it.
3. Aligns with dictators including Russia, China and North Korea in a vote against democratic Ukraine, and cuts off support for them while at the same time trying to extort an unreasonable "deal" for a large amount of their natural resources with no guarantees they'll try to get back their land from Russia in return.
4. "Negotiates" behind Ukraine's back with Russia asking them for zero concessions, and then sets up Zelenskyy in an interview complete with the Russian state media in attendance in a way that seems straight out of the CCP's playbook on trying to de-power and twist the narrative on your opponents.
Hang on, are we really surprised that the US is now an ally of Russia given their expansionist, dictator like behavior lately? They're starting to look just as bad as Trump's new buddies.
5. Europe needs to make a defense alliance's with one for all all for one (an article agreement for Europe can call it EATO European Atlantic Treaty organization its that easy !!
Trump is trying to force Ukraine into a capitulation a total surrender ; masquerading as a" PEACE DEAL " its not a peace deal when only one side must give up everything and the other side gets everything it wants ; and it defiantly not a peace deal when one side must give a 3rd party 50% of its natural resources !! This is putting a gun to some head and telling them make the deal becouse either you brains or your signature will be on the document !
Zelenskyy says he is willing to come to an fare agreement but in exchange Ukraine needs solid security guarantees to secure Ukraines sovereignty and safety within its own borders and what has Trump offered of " the Trump security guarantees " he offered that American companies can start up in UKRAINE and that will make Putin (according to the Donald) think twice about attacking Ukraine in the further !!
WOW its was that easy all a long to scare off Putin just send American companies into Ukraine!! LOL .....
That the guarantee!!!! thats what they are now telling Zelenskyy this is what Trump and Vance are trying to sell Zelenskyy this is what they saying is a solid security he can take back to the Ukrainians mothers ; thats what their sons ended up killed for when they so heroically defended their country form Putins aggression ..
WOW thats fantastic then why did they (the US ) send all those weapons in the first place?
US. should have just sent in Microsoft, Ford motor company , Heinz Tomato Ketchup , Coca Cola , Mac Donalds. together with some big boys like ConocoPhillips, Hecla Mining, Chevron and Goldman Sachs and last but not least The Walt Disney Company!!
I hear Mickey Mouse big ears really scares Putin to death -- !!!!
TRUMP AND VANCE ARE TRYING TO PLAY UKRAINIANS FOR FOOLS; AND STEAL UKRAINIANS NATURAL MINERALS, SO WHO IS BEING DISRESPECTFUL HERE !!
FACT In Ukraine there was already American and European interests and massive companies in Ukraine before the war but Putin still invaded; so this is just Trump talking BS to get 50% of Ukraines natural resources for nothing and then turn around and say look what a master deal maker I am the art of the deal !!

Everyone is a feminist and a leftist ideologist until the Titanic starts sinking and then at that moment; you will hear the same feminist and a leftists ideologist that women and children should get place in the lifeboat first. And you end up with a guitar and accordion on the deck playing music on your way soon to be fish food as they board the last lifeboat..
You will never see or hear a feminist and/or a leftists ideologist, say we need equally, inclusiveness and there is no such thing as the weaker sex or gender identity roles between a man and a woman , or hear a feminist say everyone is equal, when it comes to giving out the lifeboats seats when the ship is sinking in the dark night in the ice cold waters of the Atlantic ocean no no no then they are all for gender roles and your roll my friend is soon to be fish food ; will she gets the lifeboat on her way to find new understanding "equal man" to her queen boss babe feminist persona to pay her bills let her be "equal " (until of course the next Titanic starts sinking then she will demand the lifeboat is only for women ) ..
Why IS IT LIKE THIS you ask ..... Well because the feminists LIKE TO PLAY THE SNEAKY GAME , because they are sly, disingenuous, shifty and self-serving hypocrites, that will use and take anything, everything they can and twist any argument to promote and benefit what they will call "equality and diversity" , but really it is never about real equality and diversity at all ; its about and has always been about promoting (in any situation then can ) better advantages, benefits , resources and roles, potions for themselves at the expense of men ; In other words they in the most disingenuous way make sure to receive the benefits and privileges, of any life situation/ ´social, scholarly and /or professional situation, without been expected to be holden to ( by others ) to the responsibility and standards of those benefits and privileges they claim and demand and believe to be inherently deserving and entitled to receive for free just because they are a female !!

Russians, always uses as an excuse: I'm not interested in politics to make out they have not supported the anything bad !!
Look at it this way ; Putin is himself a symptom of the Russian mentality; FACT ; it is Russia and Russians that made Putin NOT Putin that made Russia or Russians !!
Far from dragging his reluctant compatriots into war, Putin is himself a symptom of the Russian mentality (remember it is Russia and Russians that made Putin NOT Putin that made Russia or Russians ) the unapologetically imperialistic outlook that shapes modern Russia’s relationship with the outside world and fuels the country’s insatiable appetite for external aggression.
(Moldova, 1991
Georgia 2008
Ukraine (Crimea ) 2014 Ukraine (East Ukraine )
and now all of Ukraine 2022 ++++)
(And let's not forget historical Russian roles in 1994 Nagorno Karabakh. 1994
First Chechen War 1999 Second Chechen War 2000 Second Chechen War part 2, Kazakhstan 2022 just to mention some as there are many more )
An understanding of Russia’s imperial instincts is essential for anyone looking to make sense of the seemingly senseless war crimes currently taking place in Ukraine. After all, it was not Putin who committed rape, torture, and mass murder in towns and villages across Ukraine. Putin did not fly the jets or fire the artillery that reduced entire Ukrainian cities to rubble. Likewise, he did not personally produce the endless stream of Russian propaganda films, TV shows, fake news bulletins, and social media posts dehumanizing Ukrainians and demonizing the West. These crimes were only possible thanks to the millions of Russians who willingly participated in the process or offered their enthusiastic support over a period of many years.
While politicians and commentators in the West continue to promote the comforting notion that Russians are themselves victims of Putin’s regime, virtually all the available evidence points to strong Russian public support for the war in Ukraine.
A recent survey conducted by Russia’s only internationally respected independent pollster, the Levada Center, found that 89% of Russians back the invasion of Ukraine with just 6% somewhat disagreed and 5% strongly opposed . (NOW LET THAT SINK IN !! )
Positive Russian attitudes toward the war are rooted in longstanding perceptions of Ukraine as part of Russia’s imperial heartlands. Despite the passage of three decades since the collapse of the Soviet Union, many Russians have never fully come to terms with the idea of an independent Ukraine and continue to regard the country as an indivisible element of historic Russia that has been artificially separated from the motherland.
Putin did not invent such sentiments but he has proven highly skilled at exploiting them. In his many speeches and essays on the Ukraine issue, he has consistently appealed to Russia’s imperial aspirations while playing on widespread resentment at the country’s post-Soviet humiliations and loss of superpower status. When Putin laments the fall of the USSR as the “demise of historical Russia,” ordinary Russians understand that it is primarily Ukraine he has in mind.
UNDERSTAND-THAT Russians are and have always been psychoticnation spellbound and fascinated by the big great leader syndrome-complex it comes historically of their eurasian historical mentality and idea /ideology of what the Russians call the Ruski Mir (Russia world ) some call it the Russian soul and what they see as th "uniqueness" of the Russian national identity. ..
The Russians have now vote in Putin for-almost 20years now, they vote over and over for this sycophanticlunatic that is Putin; The Russians have no excuse they have voted him in for over 20 years now, they know how he is, why he does what he does, and what he will do; there should be no shock over what he does or does not do, the Russians know all about Putin, and they like what he does, and how he does it; And that is why they vote for him over and over and over again !!
Look at it from this way : The public had a changes back in 2008 in the election when Putin in accordance with the Russian constitution, was forbidden to run for the office of President because of the limitation of how many times a person can continually be President ; The Russian ppl. had an option of voting for the opposition cadet at the time Mr. Boris Nemstov (and not for Putins boy Demitry Medvedev,) and therefor also democracy rule of law and to become a normal country;
But did they vote for Boris?
NO no no no, they did not vote for Boris did they !!
NO they vote for Putin's puppet boy Mr. Demitry Medvedev, because that was the next best thing as voting for Putin himself !!!
And after one term in office they voted once more to reinstated Putin back as president in accordance with the constitution !! So the Russians have no excuse they are responsible for what Putin does in there name..

Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...

NO SUCH THING AS A PALESTINIAN IT WAS MADE UP BY ARAFAT JUST LIKE THE FAKE HISTORY OF WHAT ARAFAT CALLED THE COUNTY OF PALESTINE !!
Arab Historian Admits there are No Palestinian People ..
When the Ottoman rule ended, there was no Palestinian national identity or political borders. It was all made up later. Arabs themselves say so, but the west isn’t listening..
One of the biggest, most stubborn and costliest untruths of our time is the notion that the jihad waged by Arabs in the Palestinian Authority (PA) and Gaza against Jews in Israel is a national struggle of an indigenous people for independence.
No matter the facts, the lie persists to the tune of billions of dollars in international aid and political prestige, which makes it increasingly difficult for anyone involved to admit that the whole thing is nothing more than a propaganda stunt.
Unlike the fairy tale of ‘The Emperor’s New Clothes’, everyone pretends to be blind and deaf when it is pointed out that the emperor is naked. In fact, if the emperor himself were to stand up and yell, ‘I am naked folks, go home!’ the crowd would go on complimenting his non-existent garments.
Last week the naked emperor did just that:
“Before the Balfour Promise, when the Ottoman rule [1517-1917] ended, Palestine’s political borders as we know them today did not exist, and there was nothing called a Palestinian people with a political identity as we know today”, historian Abd Al-Ghani admitted on official PA TV on November 1.
“Since Palestine’s lines of administrative division stretched from east to west and included Jordan and southern Lebanon, and like all peoples of the region [the Palestinians] were liberated from the Turkish rule and immediately moved to colonial rule, without forming a Palestinian people’s political identity.”
In 1917, says this Arab historian on official PA TV, there was no such thing as a Palestinian people. This statement amounts to saying that the whole narrative of an ‘indigenous Palestinian people’ was made up at a later point in time.
As Hamas Minister of the Interior and of National Security Fathi Hammad speaking on Al-Hekma TV said in March 2012: “Brothers, half of the Palestinians are Egyptians and the other half are Saudis. Who are the Palestinians? We have many families called Al-Masri, whose roots are Egyptian. Egyptian! They may be from Alexandria, from Cairo, from Dumietta, from the North, from Aswan, from Upper Egypt. We are Egyptians…”
There is a reason, why the “Palestinian National Museum” is empty of historical artifacts.
The Arab historian’s admission corroborates the observations of 19th-century travelers to the region, who notably had no specific political agenda when they visited, unlike so many visitors to Israel today:
”Outside the gates of Jerusalem, we saw indeed no living object, heard no living sound”, wrote French poet Alphonse de Lamartine about his visit in 1835.
”The country is in a considerable degree empty of inhabitants and therefore its greatest need is that of a body of population.” wrote British Consul James Finn in his 1857 description of the Holy Land.
”Palestine sits in sackcloth and ashes. Over it broods the spell of a curse that withered its fields and fettered its energies. …Palestine is desolate and unlovely….It is a hopeless dreary, heartbroken land.” wrote American author Mark Twain in his description of his visit in 1867.
Nevertheless, the Arab propaganda machine gets away with publishing fantastic falsehoods, such as this one on the Palestinian Authority’s tourism website: “With a history that envelops more than one million years, Palestine has played an important role in human civilization. The crucible of prehistoric cultures, it is where settled society, the alphabet, religion, and literature developed and would become a meeting place for diverse cultures and ideas that shaped the world we know today”.
The international community not only approves of these falsehoods, it happily pays for them.
Historian Abd Al-Ghani’s declaration on PA TV was a historic, highly newsworthy admission that ought to have made the headlines everywhere, considering the importance the issue is given by political leaders, diplomats, the media and other establishment figures all over the world.
After all, if the Arabs themselves admit that the ‘Palestinian people’ is an invented entity, should not the consequence be that the countless UN projects, billions of dollars in international aid, and the endless campaigns against Israel cease and be used for more noble purposes?
The answer is yes, but no one is paying attention.
We live in a post-factual world. Facts no longer have any currency, unlike feelings and ideological posturing. The truth has been reduced to a troublesome inconvenience and if it happens to stare you in the face, nothing could be easier than closing your eyes or simply looking away..

RONNY REAGAN TOLD IT AS IT IS...
Our enemies may be irrational, even outright insane, driven by nationalism, religion, ethnicity or ideology. They do not fear the United States for its diplomatic skills or the number of automobiles and software programs it produces. They respect only the firepower of our tanks, planes and helicopter gunships." - Ronald Reagan
Ronald Reagan at the time was talking about the Russian controlled soviet union and the soviet union ALSO HAD Nuclear weapons and soviet union was controlled by the same type of personality types as KGB Putin after all Putin is a product of the soviet KGB...
And just like KGB Putin the soviets also did a lot of shouting about using Nuclear weapons and wiping out the west and wiping out Europe from the face of the earth ect ect ect...bla bla bla bla ,,,,,
Yes talking big is typical for Russians they like to intimidate.. It is not the big talkers you need to be afraid off it is the ones that don't talk and just act... Just like the USA when they bombed japan not 1 time but 2 times ...
BIG TALKING RUSSIA'S have never dropped the bomb as they just like to intimidate like all cowards and bullies do..
“Putin bases his policies on Lenin’s principle: probe with bayonets; if you encounter mush, proceed; if you encounter steel, withdraw,” “With Obama, and Angela Merkel the thug that is KGB Putin has encountered mush never hard core steel, and that’s why Putin continues to challenge the west time after time.”
Putin will NOT use Nuclear weapons if he or when he invades Ukraine !!!
AND HERE IS WHY !!
1. If he did use Nuclear weapons then he will be not just nuking Ukraine but the fallout will hit Europe and the Baltic ’s the blast and fallout will also hit East Ukraine, Crimea, Poland Belorussia, and parts of Russia as well ect..
2. If he bombed Ukraine Putin will get the orthodox church against him for taking out Pecerska Lavra and make the Lavra into a nuclear wasteland for 1000 years the center of orthodox faith in the world and the far right orthodox is Putin's power base at home losing the orthodox church will be political suicide for Putin,,
3. How will it look like if he bombed Ukraine and the fallout of the blast will rain down onto Russians in Europe and in Ukraine millions of Russians live in the EU and Ukraine now and all of the Russian elite children in schools in western Europe, even Putin's own daughter and ex-wife live in Holland..
It is not like back in the day of the USSR when almost no Russian was living in Europe, and in the Baltic’s 20% are ethnic Russians in Ukraine, 17,6 % are ethnic Russians.. How can he claim to be defending Russians abroad if he is nuking them ??
4.If he did this than any friends he has in the international community will run for cover and distance themselves from him and RuSSia in every way they can, they will admit openly that Putin is a mad man, that needs to be taken out asap..even his good old buddy in Syria Assad and his good buddy in Minsk Mr Lukanhesko will not return his phone calls and run for cover.
5. Russia will become an international outcast and pariah state and diplomatic relations with the rest of the world will be over even including China, Venezuela, North Korea, Iran, and every other nut job country will cut off diplomatic relations with Russia !!..
6.USA and NATO and its allies and even most likely even Japan (and probably even China) will respond with an all-out attack on Russia and Putin and Moscow will only be left in history books just like the soviet union is now ...
7.Putin like Hitler and Stalin is a very smart calculated psychopath he is not crazy or insane and does not have a political death wish or any other type of death wish for that matter, he pushes as far as he feels he can and then backs down if he feels he gets pushed back, and if he doesn't get pushed back he continues until he does.
Like I have said before ...
“Putin bases his policies on Lenin’s principle: probe with bayonets; if you encounter mush, proceed; if you encounter steel, withdraw, “With Angela Merkel and Obama the KGB thug that is Putin has only encountered mush never any real HARDCORE steel, and that’s why he continues to challenge the world time after time.”
Russia’s sphere of influence..
Well I say Russia’s sphere of influence argument is a big propaganda clam, Russia has no special rights to tell Ukraine or the Baltics nations what they as a nation can do or not do...,
Russia can not just because it borders those nation tell them what it can or do or not do anymore then Russia can tell Norway or Finland what they can or cannot do because they border Russia..or any other country say China that also borders Russia..
Can Russia tell USA what it can do because it borders Alaska ?
No Russia does not have any special rights over Ukraine or the Baltic nations this is absolutely hogwash sovereign nations are just that sovereign nations after all we are living in 2022 not 1722 .. Mr KGB Putin !!
IF Putin hurts one hair on the head of any NATO nation or the USA then all of NATO will respond
And her is a bombshell....that Putin must also know as Putin is crazy but he is NOT stupid ..
When it comes to firepower USA and the west is unto in some cases up-to 19 times the size of Russia ... Just take f. exs.
Now let's take a look at the nuclear weapons !!
Putin lose her as well and he know it !!!
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 6,970 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 7,300 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
SO THAT GIVES NATO TOTAL of 7485 warheads with up to date delivery systems..
AND THAT PUTS RUSSIA AT A DISADVANTAGE of 195 warheads with substandard old delivery systems..
See link here for confirmation of nukes in the world www.icanw.org/the-facts/nuclear-arsenals/
Nations that are hosting nuclear weapons for other NATO nuclear powers are Belgium, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Turkey...
Nations in NATO nuclear alliances..(will take nukes fire systems on their territory if war broke out )
Albania, Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, Croatia, Czech, Denmark, Estonia, Greece, Hungary, Iceland, Japan, Latvia, Lithuania, Luxembourg, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea, Spain ALL NATO or NATO friendly..
Base on this facts Russia does not stand a chance as most of NATO warheads are on Subs. and NOT in silos like Russia that makes it easy to take out with NATOs defiance systems ...
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other cities to take out all of Russia....
But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as fare away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
A good exs. of how bad Russian systems really are is…
The Soviet-made rocket was fired on the town in 30 kilometres to South-West of Aleppo Putins forces attacked the town in Syria with ballistic missile – but missed all of the town "The town of Ma'arat al-Na'asan, 30 km S-W of Aleppo, was attacked (missed) by a Russian SS-21 ballistic missile and the missiles did not hit any part of the town ,

RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND IS NOT ACCEPTABLE !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination like a type of 2nd class country; that is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country, that indirectly will serving the kremlins geopolitical agenda, and so Kremlin, the RuZZians and Putin can feel better about themselves ...
All the Eastern European countries has more or less joined NATO because they was scared of Russia and want make sure they will stay independent, (and the same goes for the EU financial independence ) Nobody forced Eastern European countries to join , NATO or the EU all of them came running and begging and knocking on the door of NATO and EU by themselves, asking and begging to be let into The EU and NATO !!
Russia invading Ukraine back 2014 and Georgia back in 2008 and now all out war with Ukraine from 2022++ just showed, why it was and still is a good idea for those Eastern European countries to join NATO, and the EU because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well .
During Soviet times those Eastern countries were nothing but quasi Russia puppet states and were totally exploited by Russia under its heel and boot. If those eastern European countries didn't join NATO then they couldn't have guaranteed their own future continuous independence from Russia by themselves . Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure their independence !!!
The former satellite states like Poland,Romania,Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect was running to and knocking at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come inn and thats the truth !! . If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..

It is not Putin who made modern Russia or Russians, it is Russia and Russians who made Putin !!!.
James Monroe 5th US President in his First Inaugural Address, 1817 he said ..
“A Government is a reflection of the people; it is only when the people become ignorant and corrupt, when they degenerate into a populace, that they are incapable of exercising their sovereignty.Usurpation is then an easy attainment, and an usurper soon found. The people themselves become the willing instruments of their own debasement and ruin."
I SAY … Putin is just a symptom of the diseased psychotic nation that is Russia..
Like James Monroe says .. The Voices of Government Reflect the People..
The Russian people endorsement of the evil of Putin's regime is without parallel any other place on earth 89% support him in his evil and have voted for him time after time after time….
After all the Russians do know the truth about Putin by now, they know who he is, what he does , what he will do, and what he has done, it should come as no surprise to any Russian, what they are voting for after soon 20 years with Putin in power THEY KNOW ALL ABOUT HIM !!
Even when Putin himself was NOT able to run for President back in 2008, and the Russians, had a chance to vote for another direction, what did they do?? They voted in Putin's boy Dmitry Medvedev for president, the Russians had the changes to vote for Boris Nemtsov and therefor freedom, rule of law and democracy but NO THEY VOTE for Putins boy Dmitry Medvedev for president, because that was the next best thing to voting for Putin !!!
So the Russians NO longer have an excuse, they are responsible for the actions that the evil regime they support and they have voted for time after time after time….
The few that is good and it is only a handful at best.... are not worth all the other 99.99999% evil little scummy trolls that comes with the handful of god ones..
THE RUSSIAN PEOPLE LIKE EVIL, THEY LIKE STALIN, THEY LIKE PUTIN AND THAT IS WHAT THEY RESPECT AND LOVE AND THEIR VOTING SHOWS THIS FACT .....

Multiculturalism, feminism, and Marxism that we now are seeing in the west shouldn't come as a surprise at all ..
The Kremlin has used this as a destabilizing tool for years infiltrating educational institutions with leftist propaganda by promoting these Marxist ideas into the western intelligentsia thinking and in the community with the help of labor unions.. The Kremlin has infected this into western society for generations and now we are seeing the effect of it !! The Russian call this form of attack for Active measures...
The point of this is not to make you believe in anything but to create enough doubt, distrust, and confusion within the populous of the western nations that the Kremlin is attacking that the people will start to distrust their own government and media, it is, in other words, the good old game of divide and conquer Kremlin style ..
Also now that they fare liberal left has gong totally bonkers and the West's educational institutions are all full of liberal professors (so job done ) the Kremlin is now shifting its focus so it can maximize the effect of their divide and conquer evil game of the Active measures strategies, by supporting right-wing element's all over the EU, UK , and the USA and every one from internet bloggers to political parties, Milos Zeman, Viktor Orbán and Le Pen in France and other usefuldimwits like Pablo Iglesias Turrión from Spain's Podemos political party and Matteo Renzi of Italy and others in high offices in all EU nations; and Trump and Musk etc etc
Musk has for sure made a backhanded deal with Russia and Putin about working together with Russian space industry ; to help Musk with his spaceX going to Mars program (colonizing mars ) This is why Musk went from helping Ukraine with free star-link and then out of the blue Musk went all pro Russia .. When he got brought and paid for by Russia in this space calibration and collaboration deal if he starts using his platform to help promote Moscow propaganda anti Ukraine sentiment and block western support to Ukraine and help Russia ambitions to win in Ukraine and the war ends ; he (musk) will get help from Russia's space industry with his ambitions of colonizing mars ...
HOW MANY BILLONS HAS MUSK RECEIVED FROM US GOV FOR HIS PROJECTS ?? According to a Los Angeles Times investigation, Musk's companies had received an estimated $4.9 billion in government support by 2015, and they've gotten more since.
1. Elon Musk Took $17 Million In Federal Charging Grants Before Firing His Entire Supercharger Team
2. SpaceX is, after all, primarily a government contractor, racking up $15.3 billion in awarded contracts since 2003, according to US government
Tesla and SolarCity continue to report net losses after a decade in business, but the stocks of both companies have soared on their potential; Musk’s stake in the firms alone is worth about $10 billion. (SpaceX, a private company, does not publicly report financial performance.)
All of them and their political party are receiving indirectly and directly financial and funding from the Kremlin and have close business deals with Russian state companies... and they are all well known to bang the kremlin drums in the EU JUST LIKE Pro-Kremlin Czech president Milos Zeman..
What those guys don't really understand is this all of this comes from the KGBs disinformation handbook from back in the day of the cold war and the Kremlin back then and today uses these conspiracies to discredit the US, and the west to the rest of the world and their own populous ...
We NEED to understand this :
RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA attacks its target by just being between the gray areas of what is the truth and lies that small crack between the two ; between the light and the dark; between the cracks of the open spaces: in other words they mislead by false appearances and illusions and those doubt and confusing is the order of the day !
And that's why it is so effective, as it is neither lies or truth, is not half truths or half lies; its all of the above and none of the above !!!
It is not made to make you believe in anything or disbelieve anything, it's made to make you doubt and distrust your own reality of what you have of experience about your own society what the world , society has objectivity shown you to be truth, you start to doubt your own society there is no objectivity grounded facts and truth ; everything is subjective and floating, nothing is clear-cut no universal truth.
Russian propaganda just sows enough doubt and confusion, that you just ignore your own thoughts of what you know is true and therefore rocks with your internal conviction and your physical sense of being ! It doesn't try to make you believe anything but to trust nothing and doubt everything around you .. !
In the shadow world of the Kremlin's FSB its called Active measures, and it's psychological subversion and confusion management at its highest level ; what some ppl. may call gaslighting but fare more sophisticated than so !
Its not intelligence collection the FSB and GRU is doing when they run such psychological propaganda operations, but subversion of the countries populace minds and their reality : "active measures " is made to weaken the targets moral , to drive wedges in the the targets community alliances of all sorts, sow discord among allies, to weaken the western systems in the eyes of its own populace.
What Russian propaganda tries to do is mentally turn YOU into one of those "prisoners in the cave" like in Plato's Allegory of the Cave from Plato's Republic (in the theory of forms ) , you see shadows and reflections of what they show you and a twisted from of reality is then reality a type of distorted the truth and facts ; the light and truth has become "shadows on a wall " where you are not sure anymore and started to think and doubt facts and truth believing that maybe up is down, white is black, left is right; truth is lies and fact is fiction !!
And those you will find yourself a solace in your own ignorances and doubt and in some cases you may even choose to be hostile to anyone that challenges whatever preconceptions and notions of doubt you have being gaslighted into thinking is the " truth ( "shadows on a wall " so to speak ) !!!
You have been victimized and programmed by Russian propaganda to believe or disbelieve whatever is the kremlin narrative, you have became a dubious fool that is " on the horns of a dilemma" and you end up in rejecting grounded norms and truth and just willing become accepting of what suites the kremlin narrative; you start repeating Kremlin talking points like a parrot and you are more or less incapable of critical independent sovereign thinking a cognitive dissonance prevails; you will struggle to gain the knowledge and enlightenment needed to analyze contradictory statements !
The target (civilized western world) " western societies populace and you are drained down into a muddy murky abyss of contradictory statements; in other words subversion of the target society (and YOU ) at this point is complete and your ability to illuminate your own thoughts and find truth is destroyed and the path for enlightenment critical thinking is therefore almost impossible..
THIS IS WHAT RUSSIANS FSB AND GRU CALL ACTIVE MEASURES !!
Like the Danish philosopher SØREN KIERKEGAARD once said ;
There are two ways to be fooled , one is to believe what ISN'T TRUE ; The other is to REFUSE to believe what is TRUE !!

Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed

The aid is not free cash !!! its hardware from old stoick piles that will have been sent for destruction and replaced anyway as shelf life storage life is over date or about to be over date !! (this way US saves money by not having to safely destroy those weapons only replace)
The military equipment has been pulled directly from existing U.S. military old SURPLUS inventory that has a shelf date that soon will be past that date ; and will be needing replacement anyway this way US. gets to restock its military equipment with more newer updates versions and send the soon to by out of date to Ukraine and as a bonus US. military saves the money it will have used for destroying the old military equipment as well !!
Also it is true other parts of the Aid / funding will be used to purchase new weapons and this will be sent to Ukraine; but all sales must be and will be bought from the US industrial complex industry and American manufacturers; this supports local American communities in states (over 33 states ) that produce weapon's this helps marginalized communities and sates get a solid cash influx / bust into their local economy and supports jobs within the factors that will be producing those new weapons.-.
(So the money doesn't go into the pockets of Zelensky and friends thats a myth pumped out by Russian propaganda and regurgitated by "pathetic tools" of the kremlin like TuckerCarlsen )
Members of Congress have questioned how closely the U.S. is tracking its aid to Ukraine to ensure that it is not subject to fraud or ending up in the wrong hands.
The Pentagon’s inspector general told lawmakers at a hearing, that his office has found no evidence of such corruption or wrongdoing, but cautioned that investigations are only in their early stages.
The Pentagon’s inspector general also informed the Members of Congress that despite claims to the contrary, the United States is not sending bags of unaccounted-for cash to Ukraine. Most US contributions go to military aid, including weapons and equipment made by American defense contractors who employ communities across the country. When the United States spends money to purchase military equipment as part of an international aid package, the materiel may go overseas, but the money and jobs stay in America. Similarly, appropriations for the US Foreign Military Financing program provide incentives for NATO allies and partners to secure US-made capabilities. This translates to more business for US companies and sustained employment for rural communities in which they operate.
For instance, Lockheed Martin, maker of the HIMARS—which has been central to Ukraine’s counteroffensive—plans to increase its Camden, Arkansas facility’s workforce by 20%, and recently announced increased profit projections through the end of the year. Similarly, General Dynamics has committed to building new production facilities in Mesquite, Texas, bringing money and jobs to the region. Change like this takes place only when the Pentagon sends strong and stable market signals to the defense industry, giving it the confidence to expand and hire.
In short, the numbers suggest that continued support for Ukraine is a win-win for Ukrainians and the American people.
The United States can continue to defend stability and democratic governance across the globe, while at the same time boosting American industrial output and advancing US economic interests.

THE AID TO UKRAINE IS NOT REALLY FREE MONEY .. Its more like buying yourself a new cell phone and giving the old away to your kid, and claiming you gave your kid 2,000 DOLLARS new phone (the price of the new phone) because he now has your old cell phone and you have the new one !!!
NOW LET ME EXPLAIN
The aid is not pallets of cash. It’s in the form of military equipment, assigned a value, that is donated,”. “That equipment is usually older and would be replaced in the next few years anyway, at a cost. I’m sure she doesn’t understand this.”
Still, the largest bucket of overall aid committed to Ukraine — more than is military support in the form of equipment NOT cash !!
The military equipment has been pulled directly from existing military old SURPLUS inventory that has a shelf date that soon will be past that date ; and will be needing replacement anyway this way and gets to restock its military equipment with more newer updates versions and send the soon to by out of date to Ukraine and as a bonus US military saves the money it will have used for destroying the old military equipment as well !!
Also it is true other parts of the Aid / funding will be used to purchase new weapons and this will be sent to Ukraine; but all sales must be and will be bought from the US industrial complex industry and US manufacturers; this supports local american communities that produce weapon's this helps marginalized communities and states get a solid cash influx / bust into their local economy and supports jobs within the factors that will be producing those new weapons.-.
(So the money doesn't go into the pockets of Zelensky and friends thats a myth pumped out by Russian propaganda and regurgitated by "pathetic tools" of the kremlin like propaganda trolls )
Members of gov. have questioned how closely the US. is tracking its aid to Ukraine to ensure that it is not subject to fraud or ending up in the wrong hands. The Pentagon has conducted an investigation and told The Senate , that the Pentagon has found no evidence of such corruption or wrongdoing, but cautioned that investigations are only in their early stages.
The Pentagon has said that despite claims to the contrary, the US is not sending bags of unaccounted-for cash to Ukraine.

In short, the numbers suggest that continued support for Ukraine is a win-win for Ukrainians and the the AMERICAN public .
The US can continue to defend stability and democratic governance across the globe, while at the same time boosting US industrial output and advancing US economic interests.
So like i have said; This is more like buying yourself a new cell phone and giving the old away to your kid, and claiming you gave your kid 2,000 pounds (the price of the new phone) because he now has your old cell phone and you have the new one !!! IT'S A WIN WIN !!

Appeasement & Armageddon: Giving in to Vladimir Putin’s nuclear blackmail will spark an unprecedented nuclear arms race and make a future nuclear war far more likely!! There is a reason why the Soviet Union, nor any nuclear power, never launched a first strike (nuclear attack) since World War 2, despite all of the Cold War fears that the Soviets would.
And it’s because you can't launch a first strike without being annihilated in the second strike. I remember in the 80s when The Day After aired, and everyone hoped the Soviets would see the movie and learn the lesson. Probably not realizing the Soviets can be trusted to act in the best self-interests...which mutually assured destruction is clearly against... and that the Soviets knew this since the 60s, if not the 50s. -- How is it any different today?
Even if Putin had the launch codes (he doesn't), or the ability to order a first strike by himself (he doesn't), even he would know the response is not going to be 'more sanctions'. -- The only way I could fathom Russia using a nuclear weapon in Ukraine, or against any enemy country, is the FSB had a foolproof plan to blame am ISIS terror cell, or rogue Chechen element, or claim the Ukrainians did it in a false-flag conspiracy to frame the Russians. -- But that would require a convincing story on how such an element got the nuclear weapon 'elsewhere', and eliminating everyone involved in the planning and execution. Whatever the case, Russia would need absolute plausible deniability. --
Here's my two cents, if there was really a way to use a nuclear weapon against an enemy without equal repercussions, Russia and China (and the US) would have figured it out a long time ago and did it already.
All NATO must do is take out Moscow and 5 -6 other cities to take out all of Russia.... But Russia must take out city's all over the planet from
USA , CANADA ,FRANCE UK. ALL OF EUROPE and as far away as , AUSTRALIA and so on and so on ...
United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )
RUSSIA IS AT DISADVANTAGE !!! and they know it Putin's regime knows its and that is why they will not use nukes they will hint and shout about nukes but that's it !!

It was Russia that broke the Minsk !!
Russia, the state launched the pseudo-elections in the occupied Donetsk and Luhansk, the 'elections' that contradict the letter and spirit of the Minsk agreements, and after those pseudo-elections was done russia then issued a statement the mandate a war, (special operation ) which it had long in all practical teams declared against Ukraine since they invaded crimea and east Ukraine back in 2014 ,”
Also lets not forget that the Russian pseudo-elections in the occupied part of eastern Ukraine had been condemned by the European Union, the U.S., and other G-7 states, as well as most of the UN Security Council members.
"They are not recognized anywhere in the world, except for the organizing country, the Russian Federation. And, unfortunately, this adventure will entail serious questions regarding security and political consequences. An important note: OSCE Special Representative Martin Sajdik also has made an official statement in Minsk saying that the : pseudo-elections in the occupied Donbas categorically contradict the spirit and letter of the Minsk Agreements,.

Mr. Yanukovych the ex President of Ukraine and Putins puppet was not forced out by a popular uprising or a coup d'etat in 2014. He abandoned his position as President and fled, first to Crimea and then to Russia and his master Putin with over 40 billion dollars of stolen Ukrainian state funds.
The Ukrainian Parliament followed the only legal process it had available and appointed a temporary President Yatsenyuk until the election was held later that year and Petro Poroshenko was elected. after that another election was held in accordance with the law and Zelenskiy won the election ..
So for more than 10 years since 2013 Ukraine has functioned as a democratic country under constant attack and still had in that time free elections according to the voting will of the ppl ... And Russia has remind all this time as a banana dictatorship tinpot kleptocratic oligarchy elite run control Putin sand box for over 23 years ..
There was no 'forcing out of Putin's boy Yanukovych !!! and there was no US, gov or the CIA or NATO or the EU picking the next President of Ukraine this is a myth ...
Let’s look at Ukraine’s disgraced former president, the legitimately elected Victor Yanukovych. After Victor Yanukovych he fled to Russia the idea that he remained the legitimate head of state, and therefore the manner in which he was replaced was automatically illegitimate, was commonplace. This line of thinking was heavily promulgated by his new host country for reasons that are self-evident. But was it right, or even logical, to claim this?
The legitimacy of the Yanukovych regime indeed began with a fair election, albeit an election in which the Ukrainian people had no good choices. But could that legitimacy go on unquestioned despite the blatant grand scale theft of state resources? No. Of course it could not.
Common hooligans and thugs were brought to Kyiv by the Yanukovych authorities (first recorded on Nov. 29, 2013 when the Maydan demonstrations was just a few days old) to terrorize the residents of the capital. This acts was completely in contradiction to Article 3 of the constitution that Yanukovych was elected to uphold. It was right to question Yanukovych’s legitimacy after this.
Can the legitimacy of a ruling authority survive past the blatantly illegal adoption of laws designed to end democracy and create a dictatorship? No. Of course it cannot. Yet, this is what the Yanukovych controlled Party of Regions attempted to do on Jan. 16, 2014. Later analysis of images taken in parliament that while 235 MPs were declared to have voted for these “dictatorship” laws, only about half of this number of MPs were actually in the session hall when the vote was taken (by a show of hands – also illegal.)
After such clearly anti-democratic and dishonest actions, can anyone consider that authority to be legitimate? The actions were a breach of Article 5 of Ukraine’s constitution - something that Yanukovych was under oath to protect and uphold. But he failed to keep his word.
There were more violations of the constitution by Yanukovych, its supposed protector.
Article 27 of Ukraine’s constitution says that “Every person shall have the inalienable right to life. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of life.” Yet Yuri Verbitsky, a 42 year old geologist from Lviv, was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by forces belonging to the Yanukovych regime between Jan. 22 and Jan. 25 of 2014.
That Yanukovych had already lost any legitimacy by this point should be beyond question. Later, of course, came the deaths of many more people on Jan. 18 and then Jan. 20, after which Yanukovych fled to Russia, insisting his authority and position were still legitimate. Define legitimate.
The idea that legitimacy carries on from appointment without further question is a complete fallacy. It is something that we should refuse to accept. An elected leader most certainly can lose their legitimacy through illegal and/or unconstitutional, actions. The most recent public attempt at increasing the fog blurring the distinction between legitimately elected and legitimate comes from Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Bottom line, they are not the same, although it is easy to see why Russia’s ruling clan would seek to pretend that they are.
LIKE I HAVE SAID ; The Former President, (Putin's boy) Mr . Viktor Yanukovych . After he fled to Putin with billions of stolen money the Kremlin-backed politician and his cronies (made away with $40 billion in state Ukrainian assets disappear ) the idea that he remained the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state, and therefore the manner in which he was replaced was automatically illegitimate is based on those facts that Mr. Yanukovych COMMITTED outright theft for state funds and ran off to Russia with it shows 3 things
1. It proves he was and is a russian puppet ( its funny when russia falsely cries foul and say zeleniski is a USA puppet)
2. He ran off by his own accord to his master in moscow abandoning his position and therefore also any legitimate claim to the office of being the president ----
3. So this facts is clear evidence there was no coup d'etat
RUSSIA’S INVASION OF UKRAINE in 2014 VIOLATED INTERNATIONAL LAW:
1. The Geneva Convention. 2. Charter of the United Nations
3. The Helsinki Accords
4. The Charter of the OSCE
5. Budapest Memorandum of 1994
6. Two Russia, Ukraine friendship treaties
7. International Convention on the Elimination of all forms of Racial Discrimination
8. European Court of Human Rights
9. The 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords
THE LEGAL FACTS WHY CRIMEA BELONGS TO UKRAINE . The earlier published documents, and materials that have emerged more recently make clear that the transfer of Crimea from the RSFSR to the UkrSSR was carried out in accordance with the 1936 Soviet constitution, which in Article 18 stipulated that “the territory of a Union Republic may not be altered without its consent.”
The proceedings of the USSR Supreme Soviet Presidium meeting indicate that both the RSFSR and the UkrSSR had given their consent via their republic parliaments. One of the officials present at the 19 February session, Otto Kuusinen, even boasted that “only in our country [the USSR] is it possible that issues of the utmost importance such as the territorial transfer of individual oblasts to a particular republic can be decided without any difficulties.”
One might argue that the process in 1954 would have been a lot better if it had been complicated and difficult, but no matter how one judges the expeditiousness of the territorial reconfiguration, the main point to stress here is that it is incorrect to say (as some Russian commentators and government officials recently have) that Crimea was transferred unconstitutionally or illegally.
The legal system in the Soviet Union was mostly a fiction, but the transfer did occur in accordance with the rules in effect at the time. Moreover, regardless of how the transfer was carried out, the Russian Federation expressly accepted Ukraine’s 1991 borders both in the December 1991 Belovezhskaya Pushcha accords (the agreements that precipitated and codified the dissolution of the Soviet Union) and in the December 1994 Budapest Memorandum that finalized Ukraine’s status as a non-nuclear weapons state.

@divya9951 Russia is a joke and will always be a joke, Russians have nothing at all to be proud of Stalins USSR and today's Putin's Russia was and are totalitarian states..
Putin is appealing to the most basic of instincts, fears and insecurities in Russians. Many Russians harbor insecurities related to loss of the evil empire that was the USSR, and with that Russians idea of being / having superpower status..
Lets be honest, the Soviet Union 1922–1991 only was in word history for 69 years not much of a superpower if you only can claim 69 years in history, before you was wiped out of existence ...69 years my grandmother Bessy is older than that LOL
Or what am i not right ?????
USSR can only claim 69 years it started in 1922 and was dissolved in 1991 ....
Russians USSR a super power don't make me laugh....it was nothing more and RuSSia today still is nothing more then a evil state run by evil little people that just has some nukes under their control.. and as the cowards they are wave around themself's this weapons and shout about them to make themselves look big..
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_Union
Russians have nothing at all to be proud of Stalin the USSR and today's Putin's Russia are and was all totalitarian states..
RuSSia and the Soviet Union was NO better then Hitlers Germany, Pol Potts Cambodia, Idi Amins Uganda, Francos Spain, Mussolini’s Italia, Gaddafi's Libya, Kim Jong-un North Korea and/ or Putins good friend Bashar Al-Assads Syria
Ukrainians, on the other hand have made a new beginning. They are rejecting Russian-style autocracy, reforming the economy and moving against the pervasive corruption of the old regime.
Ukraine naturally and rightfully belongs in Europe. Putin has used every means possible, including military aggression and terrorism to damage and subordinate Ukraine.
He will not succeed. Ukraine's whole history revolves around the struggle for liberty and resistance to foreign oppression. Ukrainians are starkly different to Russians. They are not and have never been mentally slaves of Moscow lies, propaganda and control .

US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , because Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!
And here we can clearly see what such guarantees with the west is worth, it has been 8 years now since Russia invaded Ukraine in the east of the country and annexed parts of Ukraine in Crimea AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED so now Russia is going all inn and taking everything THE CAN!!
That is the result of worthless grantees !!
And here's something the WEST is clearly overlooking ; Taiwan , Israel and everyone else is also asking the question; CAN I TRUST THE WEST TO HOLD TO THEIR WORD AND STAND BY THE GUARANTEES THEY GIVE ! and not just Taiwan and Israel, is right now asking themselves those questions, but even small eastern European NATO member states that border Russia, will be asking themselves those questions as well !! IT'S ABOUT TRUST YOU LOSE TRUST YOU LOSE EVERYTHING!!
And her is the real kicker ; Also Iran, North Korea and China will be seeing what is going on and soon they will be thinking the west is weak; And the will be thinking and saying things like, just look what the west did when Russia was calling out their bluff about red lines in Ukraine ... The time is now, we have our chance to stick it to them !!!!
And then we will see China take Taiwan (so no more silicon-chips for you ) and then we will see Iran take Israel (middle east oil all gone and the middles east up in fire ) And when North Korea goes into South no more south Korea as north will take it over as well !!

Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination like a type of 2nd class country; that is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country, that indirectly will serving the kremlins geopolitical agenda, and so Kremlin, the RuZZians and Putin can feel better about themselves ...
All the Eastern European countries has more or less joined NATO because they was scared of Russia and want make sure they will stay independent, (and the same goes for the EU financial independence ) Nobody forced Eastern European countries to join , NATO or the EU all of them came running and begging and knocking on the door of NATO and EU by themselves, asking and begging to be let into The EU and NATO !!
Russia invading Ukriane back 2014 and Georgia back in 2008 and now all out war with Ukraine from 2022++ just showed, why it was and still is a good idea for those Eastern European countries to join NATO, and the EU because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well .
During Soviet times those Eastern countries where nothing but quasi Russia puppet states and where totally exploited by Russia under under its heel and boot. If those eastern European countries didn't join NATO then they couldn't have guaranteed their own future continuous independence from Russia by themselves . Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure their independence !!!
The former satellite states like Poland,Romania,Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect was running to and knocking at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come inn and thats the truth !! . If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..

United Kingdom 225 warheads (submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
France 300 warheads
(submarine delivery systems new and up to date systems )
United States 7,315 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems new and up to date systems )
Russia 8,000 warheads
(Mixed delivery systems old mostly from the soviet union times NOT up to date systems )

THE MYTH OF RUSSIA IS A SUPERPOWER ON THE WORLD STAGE DEBUNKED !
For centuries, Russia has seen itself as one of the world's great powers.
This superpower Russia status idea myth, seen by most of the world is now become a declining idea and the world is now seeing that Russia is not and has never been any super power; More and more ppl. now understand that Russia has only been masquerading as a "SUPER POWER " the Kremlin has been presenting itself as one and hiding behind the Myth of super power status; And even for some time the kremlin themself (one can argue) started to believe in their own lies, their own myth making and their own propaganda !
BUT AFTER UKRIANE THIS MYTH IS BUSTED !!
Russia: has only $1.48 trillion annual GDP that makes Russia about the same size economically on the level of Spain if your economy is as small as Spain how can you think even for one min you are some sort of super power, that has some spacial right to be seen on the same level as UK, US , or even China ???
Let's look at some fact here: Russia is closer to Indonesia and Australia economically, than it is UK , Germany , France US or Japan .. !!
And when it comes to having nukes dose that make you a super power, well UK and France has nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) as well and so does North Korea and even israel is claimed to have nuclear weapons, is North Korea or UK and France Super powers becouse they have nuclear weapons ???
1. United States: $20.89 trillion
2. China: $14.72 trillion
3. Japan: $5.06 trillion
4. Germany: $3.85 trillion
5. United Kingdom: $2.67 trillion
6. India: $2.66 trillion
7. France: $2.63 trillion
8. Italy: $1.89 trillion
9. Canada: $1.64 trillion
10. South Korea: $1.63 trillion
11. Russia: $1.48 trillion
12. Brazil: $1.44 trillion
13. Australia: $1.32 trillion
14. Spain: $1.28 trillion
15. Indonesia: $1.05 trillion

Moscow’s unwillingness to cooperate in the Kaliningrad exclave wedged between Lithuania and Poland,
* Koenigsberg, as the city of Kaliningrad was once known, was founded by Teutonic knights in the 13th Century. It was once the capital of Prussia
* Annexed by Russia from Germany after WWII. Germans fled or were expelled
* It is more than 300km away from Russia, which can only be reached through an EU country
* It houses the Russian Baltic Fleet and is the country's only ice-free European port
* The philosopher Immanuel Kant spent all his life in the city and died there in 1804
Russia's deployment of the Iskander NUKES serves multiple strategic purposes beyond the purely military. It is intended to remind the Western public - and particularly those in the Baltic republics (Lithuania Estonia , Latvia ) - of the nuclear stakes in facing up to Moscow.
It is part of the signaling in a wider information war between Russia is running towards the west , where Moscow seeks to divide the Atlantic alliance and to secure for itself the ability to do as it pleases in what it sees as its near-abroad aka hegemony states so Moscow can exploit those states for its own agenda and resorses . Thus Russian-backed forces control parts of Georgia; Russia has annexed Crimea and backs pro-Russian militias in eastern Ukraine.
The problem for Nato is that the Baltic republics, whilst once Soviet territory, are now firmly within the Western camp. It has to draw clear lines to confront Moscow's influence while trying to avoid escalating any crisis further, this is not to the Kremlins liking..
And on a side note Russia’s violations of the Open Skies treaty, and treaty do not come in isolation and come on top of infringements of other treaties.

What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukriane anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass over 200,000 sq km
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, and Greece all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland , Wales and most of England
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia and New Jersey all put together !!
Why the should Ukraine give up all that land for what to be invaded only some years later !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda and so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukriane Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries were nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..
Also these people who advocate this view that Ukriane shroud just give up land and appeasement to Russians wants wishes are also being very ignorant to the fact that there were already treaties in place between Russia and Ukraine where Russia respecting the integrity of Ukraine's borders plus other treaties relating to the seas around Ukraine.
Putin has already broken those treaties.
Why would Ukraine believe Putin would stick to a new treaty when he's just broken half a dozen of the previous Russia Ukraine treaties and agreements.
Russia has demonstrated its treaties and agreements are worthless and you enter them at your great peril.

US. and UK., gave Ukraine a guarantee of protecting Ukraine sovereignty and territorial integrity based on the 1991 borders that included Crimea and east Ukraine Luhansk and Donbass..
As of the result of the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, US., gave Ukraine a guarantee that the US, stands now as a grantor of Ukraine sovereignty , because Ukraine gave up their nuclear weapons and back then, Ukraine had the world's third-largest nuclear weapons stockpile !!
This guarantee was reconfirmed by United States when in 2009 released a statement that the memorandum's security assurances would still be respected after the expiration of the START Treaty
After the annexation of Crimea by in 2014, The US, Canada, the UK, France along with other countries, stated that Russian involvement was a breach of its obligations to Ukraine under the Budapest Memorandum and in violation of Ukrainian sovereignty and territorial integrity.
Let me explain and give some Content !!
According to the Budapest Memorandum of 1994, Russia, the US and the UK confirmed their recognition of Ukraine becoming parties to the Treaty on the Non-Proliferation of Nuclear Weapons and effectively abandoning their nuclear arsenal to Russia and that they would:
1. Respect Ukrainian independence and sovereignty in the existing borders.
2. Refrain from the threat or the use of force against Ukraine.
3. Refrain from using economic pressure on Ukraine to influence their politics.
4. Seek immediate action to provide assistance Ukraine if they "should become a victim of an act of aggression or an object of a threat of aggression in which nuclear weapons are used".
5. Refrain from the use of nuclear arms against Ukraine.
6. Consult with one another if questions arise regarding those commitments
We need to understand that EITHER the word/ deals and / or the grantees of the west are worth something or they are not !!
And here we can clearly see what such guarantees with the west is worth, it has been 8 years now since Russia invaded Ukraine in the east of the country and annexed parts of Ukraine in Crimea AND NOTHING HAS HAPPENED so now Russia is going all inn and taking everything THE CAN!!
That is the result of worthless grantees !!
And here's something the WEST is clearly overlooking ; Taiwan , Israel and everyone else is also asking the question; CAN I TRUST THE WEST TO HOLD TO THEIR WORD AND STAND BY THE GUARANTEES THEY GIVE ! and not just Taiwan and Israel, is right now asking themselves those questions, but even small eastern European NATO member states that border Russia, will be asking themselves those questions as well !! IT'S ABOUT TRUST YOU LOSE TRUST YOU LOSE EVERYTHING!!
And her is the real kicker ; Also Iran, North Korea and China will be seeing what is going on and soon they will be thinking the west is weak; And the will be thinking and saying things like, just look what the west did when Russia was calling out their bluff about red lines in Ukraine ... The time is now, we have our chance to stick it to them !!!!
And then we will see China take Taiwan (so no more silicon-chips for you ) and then we will see Iran take Israel (middle east oil all gone and the middles east up in fire ) And when North Korea goes into South no more south Korea as north will take it over as well !!
SO YOUR OPTIONS ARE ,TO TAKE A STAND NOW OR LATER !!

JD Vance talks about Zelensky being disrespectful and then points his finger and raises his voice TAKING talking down to Zelensky like he was som sort of child talking this way at a President of a sovereign state who is a visitor in the White House; coming to give 50% of his county natural resources and a deal that is more like a shake down than anything else after VANCE AND TRUNP has call him a dictator and never said any bad word other the praise for Putin .
I did not see Zelenskyy raising his voice. I did not see any arrogance. I saw him attempting to explain that a cease fire without guarantees would not work. He could not get a word in. The tirade of obscene fury from Trump and Vance left no room for a discussion of the issues. Trump, of course, continued lying.
I think when the USA have secret talks with Russia, then propose a deal that gives Russia land and The USA mineral wealth and potentially removes Zelenskyy i from office (allowing Russian puppet government or weak government) with no security guarantees offered other than Putin supposedly respecting Trump, especially when he knows that that Putin is a proven liar that breaks treaties at will, when his host in the oval office has called him a dictator and accused him of starting the war....... l think that that's gonna make Zelenskyy in a bad mood from the start.
This looks like Afghanistan again, America get involved, fund and encourage a side then leave them with their pants down.
Let's see it form this side ; See it from a different angle.
If America was invaded by its neighboring country say Mexico or Canada or Russia that borders Alaska and Russia says for historical reasons (Alaska used to be Russian ) we are taking Alaska becouse it used to be part of Russia so we are taking back ; could you imagine what America would say? will Trump and Vance and the US just let Russia take Alaska in the ints. of world peace !!???
if the rest of the world said that Mexico can just walking in as an aggressor and can take back Texas to New Mexico and all land all the way to Nevada, will US agree to that in the ints. of world peace ?? Will America agree to not be part of any pace talks and be put on the side line and just let European Union or China deal with Putin over Alaska to make peace with Russia for taking Alaska .. becouse Russia has nuclear weapons ?..
The EU goes in and asked Putin for a pace talk to make a deal on how things will be regarding Putin getting Alaska back AND THE EU TELLS the US. you don't get to come to the "pace talks"
I don't think Trump or the American people would agree to "make pace" so why would and should Ukraine agree to their country being carved up and given to Putin. Throughout this last year that's how American thought has been perceived in the West. This so called 'deal' is not a commodity to be bought or sold.
LIKE i have said before ... Benjamin Franklin once said: "Those who would give up essential Liberty, to purchase a little temporary Safety, deserve neither Liberty nor Safety."
Trump says just give up on wanting your cities, your land back your people , back ; becouse its just a small bitt of landmass anyway that Russia wants so just give it up and we all can have some peace ..
lets get the facts correct here 120,000 km2 of land we are talking about here ..
For the European Union that land mass will be about the same as Belgium, Holland, Luxembourg alltogether..
And for the United Kingdom we are talking about Scotland and all but of England all put together !!
When it comes to how much land that is for America South Carolina, West Virginia will have been lost !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ..
FACT ; December 1974, Definition of Aggression, United Nations General Assembly Resolution 3314 (XXIX) Article 5:
1. No consideration of whatever nature, whether political, economic, military or otherwise, may serve as a justification for aggression.
2. A war of aggression is a crime against international peace. Aggression gives rise to international responsibility.
3. No territorial acquisition or special advantage resulting from aggression is or shall be recognized as lawful. (*this includes any deals on minerals made under pressure*)

We NEED to understand this :
RUSSIAN PROPAGANDA attacks its target by just being between the gray areas of what is the truth and lies that small crack between the two ; between the light and the dark; between the cracks of the open spaces: in other words they mislead by false appearances and illusions and those doubt and confusing is the order of the day !
And that's why it is so effective, as it is neither lies or truth, is not half truths or half lies; its all of the above and none of the above !!!
It is not made to make you believe in anything or disbelieve anything, it's made to make you doubt and distrust your own reality of what you have of experience about your own society what the world , society has objectivity shown you to be truth, you start to doubt your own society there is no objectivity grounded facts and truth ; everything is subjective and floating, nothing is clear-cut no universal truth.
Russian propaganda just sows enough doubt and confusion, that you just ignore your own thoughts of what you know is true and therefore rocks with your internal conviction and your physical sense of being ! It doesn't try to make you believe anything but to trust nothing and doubt everything around you .. !
In the shadow world of the Kremlin's FSB its called Active measures, and it's psychological subversion and confusion management at its highest level ; what some ppl. may call gaslighting but fare more sophisticated than so !
Its not intelligence collection the FSB and GRU is doing when they run such psychological propaganda operations, but subversion of the countries populace minds and their reality : "active measures " is made to weaken the targets moral , to drive wedges in the the targets community alliances of all sorts, sow discord among allies, to weaken the western systems in the eyes of its own populace.
What Russian propaganda tries to do is mentally turn YOU into one of those "prisoners in the cave" like in Plato's Allegory of the Cave from Plato's Republic (in the theory of forms ) , you see shadows and reflections of what they show you and a twisted from of reality is then reality a type of distorted the truth and facts ; the light and truth has become "shadows on a wall " where you are not sure anymore and started to think and doubt facts and truth believing that maybe up is down, white is black, left is right; truth is lies and fact is fiction !!
And those you will find yourself a solace in your own ignorances and doubt and in some cases you may even choose to be hostile to anyone that challenges whatever preconceptions and notions of doubt you have being gaslighted into thinking is the " truth ( "shadows on a wall " so to speak ) !!!
You have been victimized and programmed by Russian propaganda to believe or disbelieve whatever is the kremlin narrative, you have became a dubious fool that is " on the horns of a dilemma" and you end up in rejecting grounded norms and truth and just willing become accepting of what suites the kremlin narrative; you start repeating Kremlin talking points like a parrot and you are more or less incapable of critical independent sovereign thinking a cognitive dissonance prevails; you will struggle to gain the knowledge and enlightenment needed to analyze contradictory statements !
The target (civilized western world) " western societies populace and you are drained down into a muddy murky abyss of contradictory statements; in other words subversion of the target society (and YOU ) at this point is complete and your ability to illuminate your own thoughts and find truth is destroyed and the path for enlightenment critical thinking is therefore almost impossible..
THIS IS WHAT RUSSIANS FSB AND GRU CALL ACTIVE MEASURES !!
Like the Danish philosopher SØREN KIERKEGAARD once said ;
There are two ways to be fooled , one is to believe what ISN'T TRUE ; The other is to REFUSE to believe what is TRUE !!

Russia has lost over 880000 troops and over half of its military hardware / equipment and have only 17% of Ukraine land mass so based on those fig Russia simply does not have enough troops and military hardware to take over Ukraine and it will cost even more to hold it !!
Between Assad losing Syria, NATO adding Finland and Sweden, Russia losing tens of thousands of soldiers to a war it wasn't prepared for and thousands of prime skilled workers to emigration, and Russian money is being poured into a fruitless slaughterfest of dead Russians; ending up as fertulrzer on the battlefield and feeding the crows and ravens in east Ukraine ...I don't know how anyone can say Russia is truly "winning" right now even if they do get some more land in Ukraine..
Yes Russia is taking potato fields and a tiny worthless village in east Ukraine, yes if you can see this fruitless slaughterfest that is costing the lives of 1500++ Russian soldiers bleeding out and dying every a day as wining the war then yes you maybe right you got some potato fields and a tiny worthless village BRAVO !! (and then claiming some sort of victory is correct )
However in the meantime , Ukraine is targeting deep into Russian proper ; Ukraine is hitting every day Russian vital economic centers of the Russian economy ; Ukraine is flying its drones with impunity hitting Russias oil refinery, Russias gas and petroleum installations, Russia railways infrastructure, Russias military industrial complex, and Ukraine has been extremely effective with this type of attacks ; and Russias "air defense" attempts to stop Ukraine in attacking their infrastructure that is vital for the functioning of Russia society and its economy has proven impossible for Moscow ...
(ON A SIDE NOTE : A FACT THAT GETS OVERLOOKED IS : Ukraine army and defense is much stronger better equipment and bigger (more trained active soldiers ) now (it has become bigger not smaller over time) its better organized and has more experience more weapons more diverse weaponry more high tech weaponry now than it was back in 2013 and even back in 2022 why stronger not weaker !!
Unlike Russia it has become less equipped and has lower quality human resource
Maybe you can explain to me how a country that can not take east Ukraine for 2 years and lost its black sea navy to a country without a navy ; a country that needs to beg and kissassssss to North Korea for weapons to survive a country that can even defend its own territories in Kursk Oblast a county that is pushing in untrained men into combat because it has no more well trained soldiers left a county that is using Chinese electric golf-carts and Chinese mopeds to attack with because they so low on proper military equipment ! a country that now is so low on combat soldiers that its striping its Murmansk navy personal and forcing sailors to take up infantry fighting roles in a land army .. A country that os low of spare parts for its air force a country that has en economy that is so bad no international banks not even Chinese banks wants to touch them !!!
NOTE : Also Putin is scraping the bottom of the bucket recruiting from African countries and china and North Korea ; Putin is begging North Korea for help and Venezuela for help ALSO LETS NOT FORGET Ukraine has pushed the Russian Army all the why over the river in the south and even made a foothold on the east side of the river !! Ukraine has liberated more territory since the full scale invasion over 2 years ago than Russia has taken (is the outskirts of KYIV under Russian control like it was 2 years ago ?)
Putin is losing 1200 soldiers a DAY if you haven't even taken all cities and villages in the Donbas how can you claim to be a victor hahaahaha
HOW IS THAT COUNTRY (RUSSIA ) GOING TO WIN !!
Maybe if you explain it, I can understand how.
I SAY Russia has humiliated themselves right from the start of this stupidity all the way back in 2014 and Kremlin and Putin has continuously humiliated himself and Russia ever since.
The fact the Kremlin remain in this war, even when they know they cant win, and are willing to destroy themselves just proves how totally clueless they are....adding to their humiliation so Russia is already humiliated and broken .
FACT Russia is already in a worse place than they were before invading their small neighbor, and Russia did this to themselves, the result of their stupidity is that now they have more NATO borders after Finland and Sweden moved towards joining NATO , Putin and Russia is now laughingstock of a military world , and most of their biggest customers of oil and gas are canceling their orders.
I will be amazed if Russia hasn't broken up into smaller states within the next decade or so, this is real end of nations stuff that Putins ego and vanity so-stupidly has thrown Russia into; time will show this as complete idiocy from Putin.
I serious cannot envision Russia humiliating itself any more than it has already done , but that said , Putins ego is a massive chunk of half-witted, simple, ill-considered , unwise shortsighted buffoonery and NOT the wise geo-political chess player some include Putins own ego likes to say and Putin likes to think he is ..
I mean look at Putins strategies so far: recruiting two new Nato members, selling oil at a discount to 3 world countries and giving free tanks and equipment to Ukrainian army because of those tanks running out of fuel and ammunition. YES THE Master strategist Putin. Who’s lost much more than 30% of his armor, who sacrificed innumerable Russian lives in a failed attempt to take Kyiv and Snake Island, who pushed Finland and Sweden into joining NATO, who sunk the flagship of his Navy… yesssss all going according to plan.HAHA !!
TO SUM UP : NATO never had to defend against superior forces I think it is rich for NATO trying to tell Ukraine how to fight a war against Russia, when Ukraine has just a bit more experience actually fighting Russia.Ukrainians should be training British Troops on the latest techniques of war. NATO now actually needs Ukraine to join NATO because no other NATO army knows how to fight with drones. NATO military doctrines are out of date. I fear that increased military spending will be billions on a useless aircraft carrier rather than making millions of FPV assault drones NATO needs Ukraine to show them how to fight a high tech drone war of 2025 +++

RUSSIA IS ON ITS LAST BREATH AND TRUMP KNOWS IT THATS WHY TRUMP IS PRESSING FOR A STOP TO THE FIGHTING TO GIVE RUSSIA A CHANCE TO CATCH ITS BREATH !!
Russia has lost over 880000 troops and over half of its military hardware / equipment and have only 17% of Ukraine land mass so based on those fig Russia simply does not have enough troops and military hardware to take over Ukraine and it will cost even more to hold it !!

Ukraine after 3 years of war has the strongest, most experienced and best equipped army in Europe. They have 800,000 battle experienced troops that are running rings around the Russian meat wave attacks. With support from other non-USA countries supplying the necessary equipment Ukraine can win the war against the invaders.
Unlike Russia it has become less equipped and has lower quality human resource
Maybe you can explain to me how a country that can not take east Ukraine for 2 years and lost its black sea navy to a country without a navy ; a country that needs to beg and kissassssss to North Korea for weapons to survive a country that can even defend its own territories in Kursk Oblast a county that is pushing in untrained men into combat because it has no more well trained soldiers left a county that is using Chinese electric golf-carts and Chinese mopeds to attack with because they so low on proper military equipment ! a country that now is so low on combat soldiers that its striping its Murmansk navy personal and forcing sailors to take up infantry fighting roles in a land army ..

THE AID TO UKRAINE IS NOT REALLY FREE MONEY .. Its more like buying yourself a new cell phone and giving the old away to your kid, and claiming you gave your kid pounds 2,000 (the price of the new phone) because he now has your old cell phone and you have the new one !!!
NOW LET ME EXPLAIN
The aid is not pallets of cash. It’s in the form of military equipment, assigned a value, that is donated,”. “That equipment is usually older and would be replaced in the next few years anyway, at a cost. I’m sure she doesn’t understand this.”
Still, the largest bucket of overall aid committed to Ukraine — more than is military support in the form of equipment NOT cash !!
The military equipment has been pulled directly from existing military old SURPLUS inventory that has a shelf date that soon will be past that date ; and will be needing replacement anyway this way and gets to restock its military equipment with more newer updates versions and send the soon to by out of date to Ukraine and as a bonus UK military saves the money it will have used for destroying the old military equipment as well !!
Also it is true other parts of the Aid / funding will be used to purchase new weapons and this will be sent to Ukraine; but all sales must be and will be bought from the UK industrial complex industry and UK manufacturers; this supports local BRITISH communities that produce weapon's this helps marginalized communities and states get a solid cash influx / bust into their local economy and supports jobs within the factors that will be producing those new weapons.-.
(So the money doesn't go into the pockets of Zelensky and friends thats a myth pumped out by Russian propaganda and regurgitated by "pathetic tools" of the kremlin like propaganda trolls )
Members of gov. have questioned how closely the UK. is tracking its aid to Ukraine to ensure that it is not subject to fraud or ending up in the wrong hands. The MOD has conducted an investigation and told parliament , that the MOD has found no evidence of such corruption or wrongdoing, but cautioned that investigations are only in their early stages.
The MODs has said that despite claims to the contrary, the UK is not sending bags of unaccounted-for cash to Ukraine. Most UK contributions go to military aid, including weapons and equipment made by UK defense contractors who employ communities across the country. When the UK. spends money to purchase military equipment as part of an international aid package, the materiel may go overseas, but the money and jobs stay in the UK Similarly, appropriations for the UK Foreign Military Financing program provide incentives for NATO allies and partners to secure UK-made capabilities. This translates to more business for UK companies and sustained employment for communities in which they operate.
In short, the numbers suggest that continued support for Ukraine is a win-win for Ukrainians and the the British public .
The UK can continue to defend stability and democratic governance across the globe, while at the same time boosting UKs industrial output and advancing UK economic interests.
So like i have said; This is more like buying yourself a new cell phone and giving the old away to your kid, and claiming you gave your kid 2,000 pounds (the price of the new phone) because he now has your old cell phone and you have the new one !!! IT'S A WIN WIN !!

Putin did not begin the undercover proxy-war in 2014 so that it would end in peace, independency and prosperity for Ukraine and its people. and he did not start a all out war in 2022 for the independency and prosperity for Ukraine and its people
This war does not hinder Putin, it facilitates his goals instead.
Putin started it so it would end with the defeat of Ukraine and the Ukrainian peoples/ nations aspirations of true self-government true independence and democratic nation, that was fare away from the hegemony control and orbit of Russia … IN OTHER words with our collapse of Ukrainian society.
It helps him keep Ukraine on the Kremlin hook and hegemony control and helps Putin feel himself as an influential leader negotiating with the West. So, why would he need peace?
And before someone starts up about Russia right to protect itself from the "western incursion and decadent western incorrectness of political arrogance" (whatever that means ) and therefor Russian needs a "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine "
Let me ask you this ; Who gives Putin the right to have "a broader sphere of interest in Ukraine " we live in 2024 not 1824 ??? What about the people who live in "that so called sphere of interest" that is the sovereign country of Ukraine don't they (the Ukrainian ppl.) have an " sphere of interest in Ukraine itself " ?
Shall the Ukrainians just bend their knee and behave as slaves, and become some sort of quasi 2nd class nation/ country, and have their society run under the heal and accept being kicked by Kremlin's boot of the " sphere of Russian interest " ; Should Ukraine just roll over and let Russia controlled Ukraine for the sole benefit of Putins klan agenda and the geo political intrs. of the Moscow Kremlin kleptocracy elites?: And let Ukraine become some sort of quasi geographical entity for political advantages of the Kremlin ? Or should Ukraine stand up and fight against such tyrannical thing as PUTINS "sphere of interest" as the independent European self governing state it is FIGHT for freedom, sovereignty and self-rule ??
FACT !!! Ukraine was forced into this war by Russia not Russia by Ukraine (or anyone else ) Volodymyr Zelenskyy, has no choice he needs to now be the president of a country, that is in a war defending its country and ppl. against a brutal evilaggressor. And the authorities of the aggressor country do not want any peace.
(If the Russia army stopsfighting today and goes home back to Russiatomorrow there will be NO war If Ukraine stopsfighting today there will be NO Ukraine !! )
! If your Russki Mir (Russian World ideology /society ) was better then the western world; why do you not 100% just stick to being Russian why are you emulating everything that is western !! The answer is clear becouse its better then your Russki Mir !!
Ukraine, Georgia , Moldova the Baltic's and the rest of Eastern Europe don't want your Russian world (KGB Putin Stalinism strong man BS ) they want western democracy freedom and choice so let them make their own future there own mistakes and there own success those ppl. countries and nations don't want your Moscow /Kremlin HEGEMONY called Russki Mir or your so called Russian greatness of special rights of so called 3rd Rome !!
Let's take a look at Ukraine and the same goes for Georgia and other countries that Moscow wants to bully and kick around !!
Ukraine is a sovereign nation with rights and should be free to govern itself. Russia as a political entity has never had the best interest of the Ukraine and its people at heart. The Ukrainians have a distinct and rich culture, their own language, and a desire for self-rule, liberty and freedom to make decisions of its own.
Russia wants to control Ukraine so it can obtain its resources for its own benefit (as has happened throughout history). Ukraine in its east and south has in-fact the 3rd biggest oil and gas reservers in Europe and should those resources start getting taped and sold to the west then Russia has a massive competitor on its hands for the European market !! You don't believe me google Ukraine shield gas reserves !!
Russian control has never been for the benefit of the Ukrainian people. BUT HERE"S THE REAL POINT: even if it had been, Ukraine is still a sovereign nation and has the right to rule itself!!!
The Russian state has sought to control Ukraine and to deceive the rest of the world into believing that there is no Ukrainian culture or language, and that Ukraine is simply a dissident Russian state through use of propaganda and oppression has repeatedly attempted to wipe out the Ukrainian people and culture.
Do I need to mention the millions of Ukrainians killed by the Russian government? The fear and repression of Ukraine under Russian rule? The families lost behind the "Iron Curtain?"
The Holodomor genocide when Russia killed 10 mill Ukrainians in 1933 - 1934 and after that replaced then with ethnic Russians manly in the east of Ukraine (todays Donbas ) for crying out loud?
And that is why after 1991 the Ukrainians rally around their rich and beautiful culture - because it is THEIRS. And because they deserve a voice of their own, and to live free from the oppression of of foreign state that seeks to exploit and obliterate them!
Russian controlled soviet union former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect ...couldn't wait to join NATO and the EU to get as fare away from Russian hegemony control as fast as the possibly can at the time .
If the Russians weren't suchaaaaholes, they wouldn't have to worry about EU NATO and former satellite states like Poland, Romania, and Czech the Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect ect running too the front door of EU and NATO .
(PS : yes i agree not all is perfect in the west but is why better and has always been why better than anything Russia has come up with in history ; And that is why ppl from all over the world (including Russians ) move to Europe ,UK and US in the millions !! ; For all its faults that the western world has and it has a few, it still is 10000 times better than Russia , Africa or china !!! I mean no one is building a wall to hold ppl. inside like Russian controlled Soviet Union did the US is in fact building walls to stop ppl. for coming inn and so dose European countries as well )

Election under a gun with tanks and thugs standing over the voting boxes is not an election it can not be a free and legal election...Referendums vía gun point isn't a referendum, it's racketeering. Something that Russia knows oh so very well how to do.
What rally gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land its just a small part of Ukriane anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass the size of fucking Belgium, Holland, Austria and Greece all put together
Why should Ukraine give up all that land for what to be invaded only some years later !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country".
The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept to be some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda and so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
Eastern European countries (ex soviet countries like Poland the baltic states ect ect ..) joined NATO because they are scared of Russia and want to be and stay independent. Nobody forced them to join NATO they was the ones running and knocking and begging to be able to join NATO and the EU ,,, .
When Russia invaded Ukriane Russia then just showed why it was a good idea for those countries to join NATO, because if they didn't they might just have got invaded as well just like Ukraine and Georgia did .
During Soviet times those Eastern European countries where nothing less than Russia puppet states. If they didn't join NATO after the fall of the USSR then they for sure couldn't guarantee their own independence from Russia.
Nato did nothing wrong, the only mistake was Ukraine not joining NATO to ensure Ukraines independence; Remember former satellite states like Poland, Romania, Czech Republic and The Baltic states, Slovakia ect ect all came running by their own accord, knocking, kicking, screaming and banging at the front door of EU and NATO begging to come in, no one forced them into it .
If Russia was not such a asshole country and stoped constantly bulling neighboring countries maybe other neighboring countries will not need to join NATO and by more open and welcoming to Russia ..

This superpower Russia status idea myth, seen by most of the world is now become a declining idea and the world is now seeing that Russia is not and has never been any super power; More and more ppl. now understand that Russia has only been masquerading as a "SUPER POWER " the Kremlin has been presenting itself as one and hiding behind the Myth of super power status; And even for some time the kremlin themself (one can argue) started to believe in their own lies, their own myth making and their own propaganda !
BUT AFTER UKRIANE THIS MYTH IS BUSTED !!
Russia: has only $1.48 trillion annual GDP that makes Russia about the same size economically on the level of Spain if your economy is as small as Spain how can you think even for one min you are some sort of super power, that has some spacial right to be seen on the same level as UK, US , or even China ???
Let's look at some fact here: Russia is closer to Indonesia and Australia economically, than it is UK , Germany , France US or Japan .. !!
And when it comes to having nukes dose that make you a super power, well UK and France has nuclear weapons (intercontinental ballistic missile (ICBMs) as well and so does North Korea and even israel is claimed to have nuclear weapons, is North Korea or UK and France Super powers becouse they have nuclear weapons ???
1. United States: $20.89 trillion
2. China: $14.72 trillion
3. Japan: $5.06 trillion
4. Germany: $3.85 trillion
5. United Kingdom: $2.67 trillion
6. India: $2.66 trillion
7. France: $2.63 trillion
8. Italy: $1.89 trillion
9. Canada: $1.64 trillion
10. South Korea: $1.63 trillion
11. Russia: $1.48 trillion
12. Brazil: $1.44 trillion
13. Australia: $1.32 trillion
14. Spain: $1.28 trillion
15. Indonesia: $1.05 trillion

Some important Voltaire Quotes we need to remember in out time ..
* Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities. ...
* To the living we owe respect, but to the dead we owe only the truth.
And what is the truth? let's look at some facts !
Ukraine territory is a whopping 603,628 square kilometers (233,062 sq mi), Russia at one point occupied a total of 161,000 km2 (62,000 sq mi) or almost 27% of Ukraine's territory and some has been librated so now we are down to 119,000 km2
What really gets me is that some ppl. are now saying why does Ukraine not just let Russia have the areas /land it’s just a small part of Ukraine anyway.....
A small part of Ukraine ...WE ARE taking about a land mass is 119,000 km2
In EU terms thats the size of Belgium, Holland, luxembourg all put together..
In UK terms that the size of all of Scotland and 80% of England all put together !!
In US terms is the size of South Carolina, West Virginia all put together !!
Why the f. should Ukraine give Russia all that land for what? TO ONLY be invaded some years later when Russia as had a brake and regrouped ,rebuilt its army and fortified positions !!
I SAY RUSSIA GETS TO TAKE LAND AND DEMAND UKRAINE CAN NOT JOIN NATO IS NOT ACCEPTABLE AT ALL !! Nobody wants to be a "buffer country". NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom !!!! ; The whole concept is demeaning to an independent nation. NO nation wants to have a little bit of freedom and self-determination, like some sort of 2nd class country; That is not right, and Russia has no right to demand or bully Ukrainians or Ukraine to accept that Ukraine and its ppl. should become some sort of lap dog on a leash 2nd class country to serve kremlins geopolitical agenda; so Kremlin, Putin and RuZZans can feel better about themselves ...
---------It is embarrassing that the US and Europe do not support Ukraine more than they do , the US. were in Afghanistan for 20 years and achieved less than Ukraine in 2 years, and Ukraine is also a much stronger opponent with many more resources !! As a Norwegian I am ashamed of our policies in the west , the western nations governments use every opportunity to go on national TV and tell how much they support, but the truth is that we have only provided 94 Euros per inhabitant, it is ridiculous when we look at the size of Ukraine, the opponent and the way Russia has bombed cities in Ukraine back to the Stone Age, and that we (western nations ) have not lost a single person in the war , we are talking about Europe, democracy and freedom that Ukraine is defending , one can only be ashamed
Mr, Martin Luther King once said :
Freedom is never voluntarily given by the oppressor; it must be demanded by the oppressed.”

After he fled to Putin with billions of stolen money the Kremlin-backed politician and his cronies (made away with $40 billion in state Ukrainian assets disappear ) the idea that he remained the legitimate head of the Ukrainian state is insane !!
Lets take a closer look into legitimacy of Yanukovych Presidency..
Can the legitimacy of a ruling authority survive past the blatantly illegal adoption of laws designed to end democracy and create a dictatorship? No. Of course it cannot. Yet, this is what the Yanukovych controlled Party of Regions attempted to do on Jan. 16, 2014. Later analysis of images taken in parliament that while 235 MPs were declared to have voted for these “dictatorship” laws, only about half of this number of MPs were actually in the session hall when the vote was taken (by a show of hands – also illegal.)
After such clearly anti-democratic and dishonest actions, can anyone consider that authority to be legitimate? The actions were a breach of Article 5 of Ukraine’s constitution – something that Yanukovych was under oath to protect and uphold. But he failed to keep his word.
There were more violations of the constitution by Yanukovych, its supposed protector.
Article 27 of Ukraine’s constitution says that “Every person shall have the inalienable right to life. No one shall be arbitrarily deprived of life.” Yet Yuri Verbitsky, a 42 year old geologist from Lviv, was kidnapped, tortured, and murdered by forces belonging to the Yanukovych regime between Jan. 22 and Jan. 25 of 2014.
That Yanukovych had already lost any legitimacy by this point should be beyond question. Later, of course, came the deaths of many more people on Jan. 18 and then Jan. 20, after which Yanukovych fled to Russia, insisting his authority and position were still legitimate. Define legitimate.
The idea that legitimacy carries on from appointment without further question is a complete fallacy. It is something that we should refuse to accept. An elected leader most certainly can lose their legitimacy through illegal and/or unconstitutional, actions. The most recent public attempt at increasing the fog blurring the distinction between legitimately elected and legitimate comes from Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev. Bottom line, they are not the same, although it is easy to see why Russia’s ruling clan would seek to pretend that they are.

UNDERSTAND WHY SOUTH AFRICA HAS BECOME WHAT IT IS TODAY South Africa has an average national IQ score with a mean IQ of 71.60 relative to the Greenwich IQ standard. !!!
BACK IN THE DAYS OF THE VIETAM WAR THE US lowered the standards of IQ and let into the Army low leave IQ individuals The average IQ of those "McNamara's morons" was anything under 80 but no lower than 70 IQ !! Anything 70 and 80 IQ is considered useless even for the army morons )
(Problems in training low-IQ military recruits during World War II led the US Congress to ban enlistment from the lowest 10% (below IQ 80) of the population. Because people with IQs below 80 (the 10th percentile, Department of Defense "Category V") are difficult to train, federal law bars their induction into the military.
On another Note ; The average IQ in Sub-Sahara Africa under 75 IQ and in some countries like Guinea, a West African country with a population of over 13 million people, has a scary average IQ of ONLY 53.48 !!!! (See link under (2) South Africa has an average national IQ score with a mean IQ of 71.60
As according to the classifies mental retardation and anything under between 50 and up to 70 in IQ is considered moderate mental retardation !!!
And we are all wondering why, the continent of Africa has problems and why Africans just can not get their countries and societies and communities to function like they do in Europe ; The IQ of sub-Saharan Africans is under 75 IQ and that is from a international studies conducted by the World Health Organization..
And get this, the country in Africa with the highest average IQ scores is Sierra Leone IQ of 91 ... 91 thats laughable when you take into account that out of all the 54 countries that are in Africa the best they can come up with on a IQ score is Sierra Leone with a average IQ of 91 !!!! (See Under link (1) )
Many factors can explain the differences in average IQ among countries, as the average IQ is influenced by various factors such as genetics, environment, and cultural background, among others.
(NOTE ; The DSM-IV classifies mental retardation into four stages based on severity: IQ, which include mild mental retardation (IQ between 50-55 and 70), moderate mental retardation (IQ between 35-40 and 50-55), severe mental retardation (IQ between 20-25 and 35-40), and profound mental retardation (IQ below 20 or 25) (American Psychiatric Association, 1994). A person with a IQ of 80 to 85 is fully capable of having a successful life. This person would be unlikely to get a degree from MIT but would be fully capable of working in many trades.)
SO NEXT TIME YOU JUMP TO SOME ANTI WHITE BS AND PUT THE PROBLEMS OF AFRICA ON THE SHOULDERS OF WHITENESS EVIL, SLAVERY ECT ECT ECT .AND SWALLOW THE "SLAVERY" EUROPEAN COLONIZATION ANSWER AS THE ALFA AND OMEGA ANSWER ON WHY ARFICA IS SO POOR AND UNDEVELOPED MAYBE TAKE A LOOK AT THE LEVEL OF IQ AMONG THE PPL. THAT ARE LIVING IN AFRICAN COUNTRIES AND ASK YOURSELF THE QUESTION CAN IT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE FACT THAT THE AVERAGE IQ IS LOW AND THAT THE IQ LEVELS CAN HAVE SOMETHING TO DO WITH THE PROBLEMS IN AFRICA TODAY !!

Funny, Trump said, that Ukraine doesn't have to sit on the Negotiation Table, that Zelenskyy was a Dictator and Ukraine started the War. Does he think, the free democratic World is stupid enough, to forget that Trump simply betrayed their former Ally Ukraine?
Imagine you come across a homeless guy, so you decide to help him, and you offer him a place to stay and to get a job. But in order to help this homeless, you ask him to sign a contract that states that any future income he receives you must get 50 percent of that in order to help him.
FACT ; According to Ukrainian constitution, presidential or any type of government elections cannot be held WHEN THE COUNTY IS AT WAR and until martial law is cancelled. This is pretty common in different constitutions around the world.
FACT ; Since the beginning of the Russian invasion of Ukraine in 2022, the Russian military and authorities have committed war crimes, such as deliberate attacks against civilian targets, including on hospitals, medical facilities and on the energy grid, indiscriminate attacks on densely-populated areas; the abduction, torture and murder of civilians; forced deportations; sexual violence; destruction of cultural heritage; and the killing and torture of Ukrainian prisoners of war. (but somehow Ukraine fighting back is escalation.....)
