Love Russia and the Russian people, but here's a brief history lesson for Trump...

@CedricH How many military bases does Russia have around the world ?
How many military bases does America have around the world ?

@ididntknow Perhaps Russia ought to cultivate a few more mutually benificial alliances. That, however, would require a different conduct in international affairs.
Besides, the entire rhetorical question is childish. Foreign military bases are neither intrinsically good nor bad, it depends on how they‘re being used.

@ArtieKat Putin won't stop at Ukraine either. The plan was to absorb Ukraine then march onward to the next mountain chain.

@Jokersswild someone that understands what’s going on 👍

@Jokersswild Wow...


Let's break down the many many ways in which you are wrong.


Nope.


Russian-speaking Ukrainians were not being persecuted in any systematic or state-sponsored way. No credible international organization (UN, OSCE, Council of Europe, Amnesty, Human Rights Watch) ever found ANY evidence of Ukraine targeting or discriminating against Russian-speaking populations. If you have evidence to the contrary, please share it.




Nope.

Yanukovych was democratically elected in 2010 and was removed in 2014 after months of mass protests involving hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians from across the country.

His removal was approved by 328 out of 450 members of Ukraine’s parliament, including many from Yanukovych’s own party.


This is not the definition of a coup.😂

Yes, the West supported the protesters. No they did not orchestrate the uprising. There is no evidence for that. If you have some, please share it.


Surely not even you believe this 😂

The vote was illegal and held under occupation. The referendum was held under Russian military control after armed forces had seized the peninsula.

There was no option to remain part of Ukraine on the ballot.

OSCE observers were not allowed in.

Even Russia admitted only “about half” of eligible voters participated.

Plus independent investigations estimated the real support for joining Russia was about 30-40%, not 97%.

And as you well know, but don't care, the UNGA declared the referendum invalid and Crimea’s annexation illegal.


Bullshit. Pure conspiracy.

Zelensky was elected in a landslide (73%) in a free and fair election. He defeated Petro Poroshenko, who was actually preferred by many Western governments.

Calling Zelensky “installed” is ridiculous.

If he was "installed", why? Don't for a moment think it was because he would ensure Ukraine joined NATO.

There was no plan for Ukraine to join NATO. They were not even CLOSE to joining NATO, and several countries including France and Germany actively opposed it. Putin knew this.

Plus Russia had signed multiple treaties (1994 Budapest Memorandum, 1997 Russia-Ukraine Treaty, 2009 OSCE Astana Declaration) recognizing Ukraine’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.

Saying NATO caused the war is pure Russian propaganda.

Here are the facts.

Putin began an unprovoked war against Ukraine because he does not believe Ukraine is a real state and wanted to bring it back under his sphere of influence. He used a false justification (de-Nazifying the country), which no-one, least of all him, actually believes.

Putin, not Zelenskyy, has the blood of millions on his hands as a result.

@newjaninev2 Your ignorance is humorous. Thank you for the laughs.

@Thrust She wants droit du seigneur with Trump.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Right, compare the number of countries that Russia has invaded,after World War II, to the number of countries that the US has invaded.

They want to make Russians look so bad but history tells a different story.

@TheOneyouwerewarnedabout Why do America? It has nothing to do with my post.

@Daviszabecki Updated, but you get my point...

@G7J2O I do indeed. And I agree fully

@Anniedlr I think the Finns would say they fought the Russians to a deadlock, losing SOME territory but ending with the Soviets giving up and Finland, unlike so much of Eastern Europe, retaining it's independence?

@G7J2O sorry, but your knowledge on the matter is very low,

@ididntknow Deflection noted.

@G7J2O No deflection, just your lack of knowledge, you’re just quoting what you’ve been told by mainstream media, which work on narratives, to propagandise people

@G7J2O What do you believe started it, do you know anything about what happened before February 2022 ?

@ididntknow I asked you a question. Don't turn it back on me.

@G7J2O I am not turning it back on you. You say Russia are responsible for starting the war in Ukraine, to say that, you need to know, what happened to provoke that,
If I punched you in the face ankh knocked you out, should I go to prison for assault, or would the police take into account that you’d punched and kicked me 20 times, before I punched you, then knocked you out, or should the police just take into account, that I’d punched you and knocked you out, in other words, you can’t look at a situation from a certain time point, without looking at what provoked me to punch you and knock you out, which is what you’re doing
