President Vladimir Putin has returned the threat of war to Europe. Russian troops have essentially surrounded Ukraine on three sides. But it’s still not clear if Putin actually wants to invade or if this is just a high-stakes negotiation tactic directed at NATO and the US.

When President Obama placed sanctions on Russia, their economy was crippled and third world dictator, Vlad Putin, was too impotent to war. Then Vlad ordered traitor trump to lift the sanctions. Traitor trump, being a weak and submissive president, did as ordered and now here we are.

I don't really understand why Russia "fears" NATO expansion. NATO countries haven't conquered any territory, they're just allowing new members to join when asked. NATO has never made a threat of conquest on any nation. What does Russia think that Ukraine joining NATO will do? It just means having one less nation Russia can push around with military threats. Contrast this with Russia marching troops into Crimea and holding guns to the locals while holding a "referendum" to be annexed. Countries that join NATO have just as much self determination and freedom as before.

The russia lives in the ussr paradigm about "horrible capitalistic West" even thou the russia is capitalistic too for last 30 years. They live with horrors of the past and keep this propaganda crap since Cold War. Instead of developing the progressive society, it is a lot easier to keep your people in fear of imagine western enemy, so the government could keep its power and people have a reason to give such power to its rulers.

Orwell saw Russia for what it is and has masterfully depicted it in „1984”. War is peace, ignorance is enlightenment, slavery is freedom, invasion is liberation…Soldiers with Russian badges, Russian weapons, on Russian vehicles with badly painted over logos of Russian military units, that speak Russian with a Moscow accent and or other accepts of Russia, or have asian appearance, that say that they are from Russia when they are captured, that are registered as Active Russian soldiers and post photos on their social media from Russia and from occupied territory of Ukraine with Russian weapons, vehicles in Russian uniform …are not Russian because they Don’t have badges Toth a Russian flag… 🤦‍♂️ Russi has invaded and occupied parts of Ukraine in 2014 and to this day are waging a war against it. Russia has consistently been lying about their presence n Ukraine despite growing evidence base gathered by independent journalists from all around the world, international organisations and intelligence agencies of different countries.

Funny how our government never kept it words and continue to march toward the the door step of Russia. Now who is really destabilizing the world. Don't give me the idea, all free countries has the right to choose. There is no free country, unless you are not part of NATO.

Russia’s long-fought battle over Ukraine has claimed thousands of lives and has incurred heavy losses to international diplomacy. Like every other existing conflict, this one too has ended in a stalemate with the West blaming Kremlin’s harsh policies that have pushed Ukraine towards the Western bloc. Ukraine sees an alliance with the West necessary for its security against Russia. Russia, on the other hand, disputes the increasing NATO presence along regions like the Baltic states, which pose a threat to Russia’s dominance in the region. Whether or not Russia’s claim to Ukraine is justified is an increasingly complex question but in case of an invasion, the world will surely see far-reaching and long-lasting effects.

How can it ever, since America will not give up its dream of destroying Russia? America is a criminal mind on all fronts: Government repression; domestic terrorism fascists; and empire with it's Founding Pattern of "Dispossession" (Congress Vote of 1898); according to Oliver Stone America "Is a wolf- empire in sheep's clothing", hence, America's perceived "innocence". America is a representative democracy but also a criminal mind plagued by recurring periods of fascist- supremacist expression in the Mussolini/ Black Shirts mold (who, IN TRUMP FINALLY ELECTED THEIR PRESIDENT). Visionary Chief Seattle (c. 1786 - June 7, 1866) Suquamish and Duwamish Chief "The whites, too, shall pass - perhaps sooner than other tribes. Continue to contaminate your bed and you will one night suffocate in your own waste". (From Chief Seattle's cultural understanding, the Anglo is a debased, degraded human, his bed contaminated with his own 'waste', in which he remains - and in which he will eventually suffocate). PRESIDENT LINCOLN ON THE AMERICAN REALITY "The money powers prey upon the nation in times of peace, and conspire against it in times of adversity. They are more despotic than monarchy and more insolent than autocracy. I see in the near future a crisis approaching that unnerves me and causes me to tremble for the safety of my people, my country. Corporations have been enthroned, an era of corruption will follow and the money powers of the country will endeavor and prolong its reign by working upon the innocence of the people, until the wealth is aggregated into a few hands and the republic is destroyed." (This has only progressed). John F. Kennedy 7 days before his Assassination. "There’s a plot in this country to enslave every man, woman and child. Before I leave this high and noble office, I intend to expose this plot." (Today, the NSA and sectors of the military- industrial complex are involved in this plot, in Black Sites operated within the U.S. See 'Signature Reduction' by Vigo Bruun on amazon ebooks). Martin Luther King "The United States is the world’s greatest purveyor of violence".

The Germans are energy dependent on Russia, I don’t see the UK or France as concerned on as high of a level due to their geographical distance, and I highly doubt the US would go to war over Ukraine. So who then at NATO is driving these ambitions? For that matter, if the US wouldn’t go to war over Ukraine, would the rest of NATO do so without the US? I doubt it.

Bro, this entire conflict began in 2013/2014 because European interests clashed with Russian interests -- the catalyst for Euromaidan was that Russia sabotaged the EU-Ukraine Association Agreement and tried to force Ukraine to join the Russia-dominated Eurasian Economic Union instead. The irony is that Russia's saber-rattling only drives its neighbors towards NATO. Even Sweden and Finland, which were able to maintain neutrality throughout the Cold War, have been seriously talking about NATO membership because Russia keeps threatening them.

There is only one wall one border one fence. It's like guarding your house. Do you have a house? Does your neighbour come to you and say why are you guarding your house? Does he say remove your security because you are threatening me? The western argument is stupid. It's like asking someone to not defend themselves because defending is somehow offending. Russians soldiers are on their own soil. Like some American soldiers on their own soil except they are on other people's soils for most of their life or on some different continent. The concept of being on one's own territory is somehow alien to the American population in general because they're generally deployed in foreign countries. So they can't fathom how is Russian army is in its own borders and soil. I emphathize with Americans. An average American knows more about defending DEMOCRACY of other countries than caring for its own. America is a global hegemon and likes to destabilize and destroy other countries so when it sees Russia it can see its own reflection an it doesn't like its own reflection because it's dirty. So Russia is defending it's borders against a global hegemon and wrestling with its various tentacles aka Allies. So NATO is on other people's soil and asking Russia to not be on its own soil I don't think Russians would want to be driven off their own country.

Russia is supplying more oil to the U.S. than any other foreign producer aside from Canada as American refiners scour the globe for gasoline-rich feedstocks to feed surging motor-fuel demand. U.S. imports of crude and refined petroleum products from its former Cold War adversary surged 23% in May to 844,000 barrels a day from the prior month, government data showed. Mexico was edged out of the No. 2 spot as its shipments to its northern neighbor rose by less than 3%.

It's not a bluff. Ukraine is in Russias strategic interest and can not be allowed to fall under the western umbrella. Imagine what the US would do if China started integrating Mexiko or Canada into it's sphere. Putin won't invade because that would be a dumb move and develop into an absolute slugfest worse than Iraq right at their front door. But he will absolutely wreck the country before it is allowed to be integrated into the western umbrela. That is understandable and has been stated multiple times.

This is a really interesting point and could be used in the diplomacy. If you understand that Russia needs to prove to be strong, then provoking them with "you will be destroyed" rhetoric will only escalate matters. By finding a way to give Russia respect and not looking weak yourself, it's a win-win.
