Brics is gaming power because the United States has pushed them to do so through sanctions. China is not an exceptional power it is an exceptional technology thief.

Are the people saying the empire will collapse in five years the same people saying the world is going to end in 10 years because of global climate change? I’ll take everything they say with a grain of salt.

Doesn’t matter what Chris Hedges says Ukraine is not a NATO member. Ukraine is nothing more than human bait for NATO. NATO and the United States have no problem using them to do their dirty work. While patting them on the head and telling them good job. maybe eventually we will let you in into NATO lol

Why had those Ukrainian troops been trained and equipped by NATO?

 

[rickyb]

Why had those Ukrainian troops been trained and equipped by NATO?

probably because ukraine wanted to join and it was good for weapons sales.

When did the Russo-Ukrainian war start?

No troops other than advisors.

Russia invaded Crimea in 2014. Ethnic Russians were rebelling in the Donbas before that. The Orange Revolution that removed the Russian puppet happened in 2004. And then the next puppet lost the election to Zelenskyy in 2014.
