Well, in an ideal world every country can do whatever it wants. Now, in the real world , things are slightly different. Was it up to the US to decide that Cuba can't host nuclear weapons? How many more examples would you like? The list is extremely long. But, I'll give you just one more because it's funny - we threatened ... Solomon islands over some remote possibility of a Chinese base, lol.

P.S.And then there was that not an inch Eastward thing, remember?

Then it isn't up to Ukraine whether it gets to keep the Russian-speaking territories, especially Crimea, which voted overwhelmingly for Yanukovych, who was illegally overthrown by literal Nazis in an American-backed coup.



In the real world, joining a hostile military alliance isn't some kind of right(just ask Cuba). It also isn't a right to build nuclear weapons(just ask Iran).

The reality is, when Ukraine chose to completely militarize their country and pursue NATO membership while the country was in the middle of a Civil War after an American-backed coup(and even talked of wanting nukes), they chose the path to war, just as Arestovych said they did in the video. The question is, why did Ukraine pursue the path to war? Again, just as Arestovych said in the video, it was because Ukraine was promised unlimited support by America. They believed they couldn't lose.

With that said, did the Ukrainian people vote for war with Russia? No. They voted for peace. Zelensky is a lying midget and I wish I could strangle his greedy corrupt ass for needlessly getting Europeans killed. He isn't European. He isn't Ukrainian. Which is why he can callously push Ukrainians to their deaths for his profit.

The little cowardly coke-snorting fake wannabe tough-guy actor wearing his retarded military green outfit, playing the part of president, will rot in hell. Same with Victoria Nuland, John McCain, George Soros, and all the rest of them.

4. Your one half truth. Yes, Russia would be happy with a "neutral" Ukraine...a la "neutral" Belarus. Ukrainians don't want Ukraine to be like Belarus.
1) Rofl, why do you think Victoria Nuland went to Kiev in 2014 to overthrow the government? Why did she say "F the EU"? Why has America been arming, training, and funding the Ukrainians ever since?

Ukraine is fighting for US hegemony whether they realize it or not. What do you think NATO is? Rofl.

2) Rofl. Delusional.

3/4) Neutrality for Ukraine doesn't mean it becomes Belarus. Austria and Finland were neutral during the entire Cold War. They aren't Belarus. Like 90% of the world is neutral. They aren't Belarus either.

Russia wanted Ukrainian neutrality and for Ukraine to implement the Minsk agreement. That is all that was necessary to prevent war and to restore Ukraine's 1991 borders.

The argument seems to be that Ukraine could have remained perfectly independent and free, just as long as they agreed to let Moscow dictate their foreign policy. Bit of a headscratcher, that one.

Do you know what the Monroe Doctrine is? Good ****ing lord. If you think America is going to sit by while China and Russia built up a massive Mexican army, and hold joint-military operations on the American border, flooding Mexico with advanced weaponry, while Mexico even talks of wanting nuclear weapons and Aztlan, you're delusional. America would invade Mexico just as we're already threatening to do with the cartels/fentanyl. If Chinese ships were bringing in weapons to Mexico, we would blow the Chinese ships out of the water and we would murder AMLO.

In the real world, you don't get to mobilize a million-man Army with potential nuclear weapons to someone's border and threaten their ethnic/linguistic group on land that was historically theirs if you don't want war.

You can rant about "muh sovereignty" all you want, but when has America ever cared about any sovereignty but its own? The truth is, this war was a setup by the neocons to provoke Russia. They've already admitted it. Everyone knows it. So please stop with the bull****.

America wanted this war. America is 100% to blame. Ukraine in NATO is an existential threat to Russia. Ukraine in NATO is not a vital strategic interest to the United States. America should have backed off but we doubled-down because we believed we could defeat Russia.

Well, it doesn't look that way to me, and you guys spamming your cope posts won't change the facts.

So basically Russia would let Ukraine stay free and independent as long as Ukraine did what Russia told them to do? No, it doesn't work that way. The Russian-speaking territories were still part of Ukraine.

Russia(Putin) failed as now Finland is part of NATO and soon Sweden as well. So much for existential threat. Also at this point, it's pretty much guaranteed that Ukraine will be part of NATO, just the question of when.

Can you explain to me why? Finland is now part of NATO, yet the distance from Helsinki to Moscow and Kyiv to Moscow are approximately the same.

Even if Putin succeeds in yanking away 1/3 of Ukraine, the other 2/3s will join NATO.

Is this all about Crimea and keeping that port open to Russian navy?

Would have Russia attacked if Crimea was part of Russia and not Ukraine?
