Oh you mean like NATO and Russias border? If a country does not respects it's people, someone is bound to step in.

@D No, more like how Russia doesn't know that Germany AND Russia invaded Poland together, and conquered it together. They had a plan to conquer Europe. Russia would conquer everything east of the new line in Poland, and Germany would conquer west. They would build space programs and send long range to the USA later. For two years after they did that, Stalin gave billions in todays money in weapons and resources to Germany to ensure the defeat of the allies. And Russia supported Germany's goals and plans. The only reason Russia joined the allies was because Germany suddenly invaded Russia by surprise while Russia was trying to conquer China. f After ww2, while Germany was not a threat anymore, Russia still was. Everyone knew Russia would try to conquer Europe again. So the world had to adapt to Russia's threat. All countries gave up Imperialism (nations conquering other nations), we invented Globalization to deter Russia because it gives countries the power of sanctions as an another options to avoid constantly being at war. Russia and China didn't participate, but the rest did. And we created NATO so European independent countries can defend like an Empire. The reason Russians don't know ww2 history is because Russia has a separate internet and information space. And 188 countries are directly connected to the global net. We share one information space. So you aren't getting the collective history that everyone else is.

And if that happens, NATO will shatter.. and putin will pick pieces one by one...

And lastly, is my information correct that the materiel sent to Ukraine is mostly old equipment that has already been replaced by the Western countries claiming to be supporting Ukraine?

The problem with American, to put it mildly, 'caution' and prolonging the war in Ukraine is not only that it costs America more and more money, but also that Russia and China are clearly drawing America into new conflicts. It is absolutely clear that Hamas did not act alone without the support of Iran, Russia and China. Just as now Russia and China are preparing an outbreak in the Balkans, with Iraq and South Korea staying in the pipe. All this, obviously, is done for the main ultimate goal - not to let America to prevent China from taking Taiwan, by interfering in elections or, failing that, by force. In addition, in less than a year there will be an election in America. Biden should understand that after he has already given Ukraine $60 billion in aid, it will be very difficult for him to win the 2024 elections without a 100 percent victory for Ukraine.

The war in Ukraine is a conventional war, the Russians are not chasing guerrilas in the mountains of Central Asia.

Sorry for ranting, it’s just so frustrating to hear about all the suffering, the horrors of this war, and knowing that we could do so much more to help, but we just don’t for some reason.

NATO is only on paper. Do you really believe Germany, France, Spain, Italy will die for Baltic states? Putin can attack just to see "how it goes". If nobody helps he get another land. He can always retreat, sign another treaty and everything will "back to normal" because he know west will avoid war for all cost. That's why helping Ukraine is best you can do.

Well said

He is still not defeated in Ukraine. He holds significant swathes of land and has achieved his 'land bridge' to Crimea. Breaking that connection and possibly retaking Crimea will mean a tremendous blow to the moral of his troops. It might even cause more turmoil within Russia itself and mean the end of him.

@@telebubba5527 what do you mean he holds land it is not Russian land and never will be

You mean, when Zhalushny takes back crimea right? 😅
