Ukraine has moved incredibly toward democracy since the 90s. Russia did at first, but has regressed more recently. Ukraine is not perfect, but as you said, they are without question the victim of this invasion and we have no choice but to support themWhile the animosity between the two nations in the war in Ukraine may have been building for a generation, or long before anyone who is is alive today, the actual aggression that set it off was a conscious decision and planned outcome by Putin.
Putin spent years denouncing Western Liberalism (that's 'western democracies' for those who can't break out of the American Left/Right politics mindset), years denouncing and sometimes demonstrating a perception that NATO and other Western Alliances are weak and ineffective, and his direct action and words toward Ukraine made it clear to the West, that he would like the restructure the old USSR.
I'm not going into the history of psychology between the two nations, most Americans won't get it. I studied politics and visited both nations several times (well, one time Moscow, several cities in Ukraine with Odesa being the best time).
The 'West' does not care about Ukraine that much at all, we are not supporting Ukrainians as good and Russian bad in general. We just cannot let such overt action go unanswered because Putin has made it about us. Weird because, Ukraine is not a western democracy and have many internal issues Americans wouldn't approve of. However, the attack was planned by Russia and not provoked by Ukraine, and we had no geo-political choice but to support Ukraine.
You have selective memory like most stupid Americans...I know of no situation where the US participated in the wholesale slaughter of civilians to take over and destroy their country...Iraq, Afghanistan...upwards of 500k civilians have been killed...Yet the President of the U.S. has a blank check to send to the Criminal Government of Ukraine...G.T.F.O.H.I know of no situation where the US participated in the wholesale slaughter of civilians to take over and destroy their country. Since you support the wholesale slaughter of civilians I have to agree the term Cockroach fits. It's not just that you are causing economic problems for counties all over the world. Blowing up nuclear plants would have catastrophic effects for the entire world. The only viable option maybe for the world to unit and destroy Russia. It maybe our only option for survival of our planet.
We were in Afghanistan because there were terrorists who flew into the Twin Towers killing thousands of civilians. Ukraine didn't attack and ******* Russian citizens! Russia attacked Ukraine hospitals, schools, apartment complexes, and a huge nuclear plant endangering the entire planet. Why did Russia do that. To make Ukraine part of Russia. That is not the same thing! That shown the world that Russia is pretty much a Paper Tiger, a lot of hot air. You can't even win a war against a very small country. How are you going to possibly stand up against the all the counties in the world. We were in Afghanistan but not to take over their country. I don't agree with everything our government does, but slaughtering civilians in a neighboring country! The entire world is united against this wholesale slaughter. There are economic consequences that you will be living with for years. I will admit that you have caused severe economic problems all over the world. No one is going to be shedding a tear for Russia! By the way you do know that a lot of Russian citizens are getting the hell out of Russia, especially the wealthy Russians. For you backing Putin is probably smart or you would end up dead, in prison, or somewhere in the middle of Siberia! You've made life difficult for everyone, but it's now your turn, Enjoy!You have selective memory like most stupid Americans...I know of no situation where the US participated in the wholesale slaughter of civilians to take over and destroy their country...Iraq, Afghanistan...upwards of 500k civilians have been killed...Yet the President of the U.S. has a blank check to send to the Criminal Government of Ukraine...G.T.F.O.H.
You should just stop because you obviously dont know anything of what ur talking about. As a fellow American, ur lack of actual facts vs gov't propaganda embarrasses me.

I'm familiar with 'Lebain'. He is a American ex-pat living in Portugal. He enjoys shitting on America from a distance.

Usually, after you insult the messenger, you show why their 'message' is inferior and worth the mock.You should just stop because you obviously dont know anything of what ur talking about.

2 things can be true at the same time - the plandemic and lockdowns was only an excuse to cause our existing supply chains to have a cardiac arrest which was bad but recoverable. BUT our gov'ts new position on "all things Russia bad" due to them having a hissy fit over their plans for Ukraine falling apart thanks to Russia looks to be a permanent hit that destroys the industries we Americans are dependent on just to sustain ourselves - industries like fuel and food production.Usually, after you insult the messenger, you show why their 'message' is inferior and worth the mock.
You left out the second part. Anyone can sling s/hit, tell us where this person is short on actual facts that caused your embarrassment.
Many reasons for the higher cost of living that we all saw start late in 2020.
So that I'm not 'embarrassed', maybe you can explain to the forum how @VegascplXXX was part of a worldwide inflation?
I thought it was because after the grounding planes, halting traffic, people on lockdown, supply chain stymied, that the demand went down, so production went down. Once the world started operating again in late 2020, demand begin to rise beyond supply and production - thus the higher prices. Since capitalism rules, we can't have a president tell private companies where to set their prices. That would be something I'm sure you're against, socialism.
That's pretty general, we can break it down industry by industry if you'd like.
I'd be interested in your economic take on it.
What's the difference between what Russia is doing now? What could you possibly do that would be worse than bombing schools, hospitals, apartment complexes, and exciting civilians on the street?The Ukraine is NOT a country anymore - in fact Russian parliament is voting today to label it a terrorist state which, if passed, will legally allow Russia to go after the Kiev regime like we do ISIS. Ie no limits - no mercy
What you are saying IS NOT happening... LPR, DPR militias (who are the Ukranian citizens fighting against the insurrectionists) and the Russian army are not murdering citizens. And the reason why schools and hospitals were getting struck is because the n azis were using those areas to fire from as cover. There are TONS of interviews of rescued civilians who confirmed this- the kiev naz is would order them into their homes or hospitals and shoot at them if they tried to leave then would launch rockets outside and split - and in Mariupol, they MINED the bldg exits when the retreated with magnetic SEA MINES so when ppl tried to leave, it would level the bldg and ******* everyone.What's the difference between what Russia is doing now?

As for economics you may have heard that gas prices have doubled in the US. That is in part greed, but mostly due to Russia. You do realize that when fuel goes up so does everything else. Putin cut off food and gas to Europe. This insane war has cost the world a lot. The good news is that it's costing Russia a lot more!
You can be proud of the fact that Putin was able to destroy the US by electing Donald J Trump. We are not so gradually falling apart. We may all end up in the same life boat. I guess we better learn to be friends.
In 2014 after an armed western backed nazi coup, quarterbacked by then U.S. dep. Sec of State Victoria Nuland (ne Kagan) and US Ukranian Amb. Jeffrey Piatt, overthrew the legitimate LAWFUL government, the Ukraine as the world legally knew it ceased to exist and a new country began that started purging Ukranian loyalists.
At this point, it's clear where you are coming from. What the fuck were Russian soldiers still doing in Ukraine? Oh yeah, illegally occupying a sovereign country.First they went to Odessa to put down resistence and burned 40+ protestors alive in a trade bldg, then they set their sites on Crimea which rebuffed them with help from Russian soldiers stationed in Sevastopol. (They then voted to join Russia so the Kiev n azis built a damn to cut off their freshwater supply.) The n azis successfully occupied Mariupol and set up base there but were repelled by militias in the areas of Donetsk and Lugansk who were augmented by Russian supplies and regular Ukranian army soldiers who sided with the militias when ordered to attack them by kiev regime.
It's not 'The Ukraine' (Russians use this term like it's a region, not a country), it's Ukraine. A sovereign nation.The Ukraine is NOT a country anymore - in fact Russian parliament is voting today to label it a terrorist state which, if passed, will legally allow Russia to go after the Kiev regime like we do ISIS. Ie no limits - no mercy
Really? Are you really trying to gaslight us? We've seen apartment buildings, malls, hospitals, wards for mentally challenged children, schools, and civilians walking down the street mercilessly bombed by Russia's army.What you are saying IS NOT happening... LPR, DPR militias (who are the Ukranian citizens fighting against the insurrectionists) and the Russian army are not murdering citizens.
Do yourself a favor, ditch the attitude that u know what u know and do some serious research for a week and get back to me. Explore non English Telegraph (correction:Telegram) posts using Google translate, watch videos of expat jounalists doing interviews with rescued civilians, exit interviews with mercenaries that fled, read news reports from non western sources, etc. If you are an honest person you'll come to realize the little I posted is true.Really?

The landscape of global justice is changing with warp speed. And several key factors in Ukraine have fueled this shift.www.nbcnews.com
Remember, its not a war - its a special military operation. However realizing that Russia is winning, Ukraine for the past month has resorted to terrorist strikes against Russia hoping to provoke Russia into declaring war expecting such a massive mobilization by Russia on the continent will then trigger the UN to get involved. Without starting WW3, the illegitimate kiev regime will be expelled and there is nothing they can do to stop it or even save their own hides from justice - evil thinking at its finestCould someone email Reddit and tell them that /r/Ukraine is leaking? The myopia on display that anyone on this board is responsible for the war.
Amazing.
