We Dare Not Say about the Ukraine War

It has to be said: The US instigated a proxy war with Russia.

Russia is wrong for invading Ukraine. But the US set the stage for this hell that the people of Ukraine are going through.

Even Biden himself is on video saying that NATO expansion will not end well.

This shit has been ongoing for a long time, folks.

It's not new, or out of the gold and blue.

It's the usual Red White and Blue.

It all comes down to Uncle Sam.

And I hate to say it, because believe it or not, I do love this country a lot.

I don't like the government/corporate duopoly.

It makes me sad to see this great country slowly decline. Through it's own barbaric tendancies.

I feel like if Poland invaded Belarus, you probably wouldn't blame Russia for allying with & supplying the latter. Ultimately, countries such as the Baltics and Poland have a moral and legal right to enter into defense pacts with other countries; they faced a credible threat to their existence, and NATO was able to guarantee them some degree of safety.

What this line of argument misses, with respect, is the fact that what's happening in Ukraine right now is about power. Russia thinks that it can maximize its influence by using force against former members of its empire which decide they don't want to serve the Kremlin anymore. Knowing that, the only real choices are to either let Russia have de facto control over all those countries or to limit its ability to use force. Many eastern European states chose the latter, and the majority have fared a hell of a lot better than the ones which chose the former. Even for Ukraine, what's happening there is tragic, but at least there's a clear path to serious improvement, unlike with countries that are more cucked to Russian interests like Belarus and Kazakhstan.
