So tell me why Obama was caught on a hot microphone telling the Russian president to ask Vladimir to be patient? Obama didn't arm the Ukrainians and stood by while Putin took the Crimean Peninsula, invaded the Donbas, and installed a puppet in Kiev. The Ukrainians rebelled against that. They rejected Moscow. Obama sure didn't help them. If it was an American backed coup why didn't Obama give them much greater capability to defend themselves? And the shelling of fellow Ukrainians? Russian backed separatists who were rebelling against their own country. They may be ethnically Russians but they are Ukrainian citizens. They forced many thousands of ethnic Ukrainians to flee their homes. During that same timeframe there were more Mexicans killed by cartels in Mexico. A lot more. So save us the righteous indignation defending Moscow backed rebels.
It was a usa backed coup

Obama didnt arm them bc it would only make the russia nato confluct worse

Trump is a maroon and armed them

Baloney. Why not just put nukes in Eastern Europe then? We haven't. We don't need Ukraine to be close to Moscow. A few extra seconds? We have nuclear subs that will annihilate Russia in a matter of minutes. We've got no concerns about Russia getting the drop on us and destroying us before we can respond. Why not just admit the obvious? Europe is prosperous. Open. Free. Russia isn't. Ukraine wants prosperity. It doesn't want to be dominated. The West sees a potential market to trade with. Russia sees a servant that it can dominate. With no tolerance for anything other than subservience. What Putin and the oligarchs don't want is a free, open, and prosperous neighbor that rose out of the ashes of communism. 143 million Russians might get restless, wondering why they can't do the same.
Ur close. The usa military industrial complex saw a market in ukraine and hence why nato tried expanding which is why russia illegally invaded

So you're saying when Russia invaded in 2014 and armed ethnic Russian separatists who drove ethnic Ukrainians out of their homes that Ukraine should've just let it happen. Whatever the Russians want is fine but Ukrainians have no right to defend their country. Got it.

Nato shouldnt even exist post warsaw collapse

Russia has nukes and a dictator. NATO has very good reasons to exist. And no one in NATO that I'm aware of was wanting to admit Ukraine. To join the EU and NATO Ukraine has to meet certain criteria which I've read they were nowhere near. And nothing they did excuses slaughtering civilians or do you think that's ok too?

If u look up the history of nato it was for warsaw, which is gone now

Lots of countries have nukes, only 1 country has ever used it, and you gotta be a realll big :censored2: to use a nuke because it means ur killing civilians

I think usa is the 1 which pushes for nato expansion

So, for all you people who talk so much about the Ukrainian right to sovereignty and independence.....

Do you recognize the right of the Donbass region to determine its own fate, have sovereignty and independence from Ukraine?

They declared independence from Kiev 8 years ago.

Kiev has been bombing it for 8 straight years.

Will you come to their defense?

Ukraine has been a sovereign nation for about 30 years. They are a country, not part of a country. They have a right to protect and enforce their sovereignty. By the way, they declared their independence from the Soviet Union as did every other Soviet republic when it fell apart. The Soviet Union no longer exists as you know. Or is it that the Soviet Union was a sham from the start, just Russia dominating other peoples? Which you seem to be fine with.

Then they shouldn’t mind not receiving a welfare check and paying rent to live there.
Most of them have lived in the same place for generations. Why should they all of a sudden change their identity because the US orchestrated a coup and put new people in charge?


Why should they fight for Kiev, when Kiev has been committing genocide for 8 years?

Kiev hasn't been committing genocide. Kiev has been fighting rebels and protecting their border integrity.
