Ukraines former President was a Russian lacky and there were questions about the validity of the election. It's no secret Ukraine has issues with corruption. This fact made their path to NATO problematic to say the least. Problematic to people in the west who wished to do business there as well. Russia is in a tough spot and their annexing Crimea has made it a near certainty that Ukraine will be welcomed into NATO. So, they can recall their troops or they can fight on. The next step for them would be Estonia, Latvia, region. Or push on to Poland. NATO countries all. Let's hope they recall their soldiers and agree to restitution.

Everyone bad apart from the deep state agenda Robert F. Kennedy Jr. talks to Russell Brand about the U.S. foreign policy establishment's role in starting the Ukraine War and John F. Kennedy's 1963 speech on Russia: "President Bush famously told them, we will not move NATO one inch to the east. Well, since then, we've moved 1000 miles to the east. And we've incorporated 14 of the Russian former satellites... They repeatedly said to us, you cannot incorporate Ukraine into NATO. We then unilaterally walked away from our two Intermediate Nuclear Weapons treaties with Russians. We had a treaty saying you can't use Intermediate Nuclear weapons. These were huge steps in progress. And we cancelled both of them unilaterally. We told the Russians, we're not doing that anymore. Then we started surrounding them with these missile systems, we started practicing, you know, incorporating Ukraine into interoperability with NATO forces... We then help to overthrow the democratically elected government of Ukraine in 2014 and install a very ultra nationalist, and that is a polite way of describing them as ultra nationalists, you know, a government that is extremely anti Russian. That prompts the Russians to go in and invade Crimea, because they're terrified that now that we have our own government in place there, we're going to put the naval, our US Navy fleet, at a warm water port that they've had for I think, 370 years, it's their only warm water port, it's their way of having a military presence in the Black Sea." Yes, that makes total sense. Most of us haven't a clue what's going on around us. Either that, or we don't really care, unless we are affected in some way. When that happens, we just need to find someone to blame. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

It’s an air launched missile that’s not officially integrated with any platform they operate. Talking to my Polish workmate this morning and he says that the MiG's Poland donated are NATO standard and capable of firing the storm shadows. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

If the USA was anything like say. Back at the end of WWII, with a standing army on every continent, an intact industrial base, and the ability to make weapons like "little boy". Then the world would be a very different place now. Instead we opened up trade for everyone and only asked help containing communism.

What an odd thing for you to say. As for lining our pockets? I'd challenge that accusation. We have not seized oil or other resources from any nation outside of sanctioned products.

Yes, the Americans , and the British, recruited Nazi scientists at the end of ww2, if they hadn’t, the Russians would have, and stole a march on the west in rocket and nuclear technology. All part of “the great game” and “real politik “ Cheers. 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kanny 20,396 Posted May 17, 2023 Report Share Posted May 17, 2023 I think its clear that the function of most modern governments is to transfer state funds into corporate funds be it via the industrial military complex or big pharma ect , our representative's are now little more than corporation shills ,spokesmen for the lobbyists. 4 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
