Strong disagree. The choice to invade Ukraine was Russias/Putin's. Every time infrastructure and civilian facilities inside Ukraine are targeted and bombed, that's part of the Russian grand strategy of making the opposition civilian population suffer.
The NATO expansion is just a ploy and a bad excuse to keep doing what Russia has been up to for two decades.... In Donbas, in Crimea, in Georgia/South Ossetia and in Transnistria. Same goal, *exact* same playbook.
So if China installed puppet dictators in Canada & Mexico & then welcomed them into a military alliance that has been hostile to the US & cut of US access to factories & infrastructure owned by US companies in both countires it would be US aggression to do anything about it?
This is like people calling Iran the aggressor because "look how close they put their country to all of our military bases."
The US has a more aggressive foreign policy than any country in the world, but somehow it's never the US which is doing anything wrong. Take the patriotic blinders off.
You only have to look at the US foreign policy agenda for the 21st Century. Aggression
This hypothesis hinges on whether the president (or more?) of Ukraine is a puppet dictator. Is he/he the office been that, to the US?
Also, Ukraine NATO membership hasn't been on the table until after the hostilities started in 2022. So it's difficult for me to see where you wish to reasonably go with this analogy.
Don't drop named links or youtube videos and pretend that is a response to what I said.
Argue your case yourself.
The video covers everything in as short a segment as possible, including people saying the quiet part outloud about the US trying to steal Ukraine from Russia 10 years ago.
But if you want to keep being a stupid warmongering piece of shit don't watch it, I dont care.
