it's a 30 year plan at this point depending on who you ask, but ignoring the historical context of that region of the world it's hard to overcome corruption and implement the necessary reforms to actually get in when your country is getting flooded with weapons and being used as a geopolitical pawn
Are you for real? It doesn’t take 30 years to take one country.

Like we all understand the underlining racism involved in why Europe and America walk all over Africa, Latin America, and the Middle East in foreign policy.

But let’s be real here. If NATO were the big bad boogeyman wouldn’t they have just used the excuse of Georgia, Crimea, and now Ukraine to just take Russia? Instead of make gas deals and economic ties that keep Putin and friends in power?

What’s the actual plan from NATO for aggression?

They'll take over parts of Ukraine. Sanctions will be imposed, Russia will suffer economically, Putin and Co. will blame the west for Russian troubles, sanctions regime will be weakened or circumvented so zero chance it will affect Russian behavior.

That could have been done 30 years ago. The region was destabilized after the fall. Your post makes zero sense in the context of Russia.

America and Europe went in militarily without hesitation in those countries. They are literally propping up Putin and the oligarchs.

And in NATO, there are only three European countries that could economically absorb Russia. England and France are geographical disadvantage and Germany is already the most influential without the liability of annexing Russia.


The underling racism that those brown and black people are too stupid to understand the greatness of democracy and must be imposed on them. They give fellow white man Putin every opportunity as he gets crazier and crazier.

how would you have justified expanding the anti-USSR pact right after their empire collapsed?

seems like a pretty good way to destabilize a region by not offering any economic future. as well as helping eventually sell the western corporations that take over industry as a good thing, as they're not run by corrupt oligarchs, ya know? things don't happen over night. You're not selling IMF loans and Western corporate hegemony to people raised and educated in Soviet Russia. Do you see how silly that is?

The USSR destablized on its own. American and Europe didn’t destabilize it.

The opportunity the place western corporate interest is then. And you don’t need to get them under your thumb with IMF loans. You just need a puppet government which is what western countries do to make populations think your decisions are theirs.

But like isai. They won’t treat white people the way they do these poor brown and black people.

Again. I agree with your thesis. But all the opportunities to intact it passed by decades ago. That’s not what Europe/ US have been doing cause they don’t want responsibility for Russian issues.

i know the longterm memory centers in your brain are fried by your internet addiction, but pushing for NATO expansion in Ukraine has been happening for decades. An outgoing George W Bush committed to Ukraine joining NATO in 2008. Keep carrying his foreign policy water
Keep

Sucking

Russian

Cock

:yeshrug:

We ain't going for it.

This video is dogshyt. Ridiculously bad faith arguing and motivated reasoning. Vaush is following the Hitchens leftist-to-Neocon pipeline. :francis:
Act like you got some fukking nuts my dude.

The world doesn't stop spinning when you criticize the United States.

Yall can't keep calling people neocons for shyts and giggles when real shyt is at play.

disappointed how thirsty this thread is in the recent pages


That's completely reasonable if we ignore all other factors of why we're here.

Putin is a hardcore nationalist who has made it no secret that his personal best case scenario would be the reformation of the Soviet Union. Its that possibility and fear that has an independent and sovereign Ukraine reaching for NATO. If Ukraine chose neutrality, NATO would care less, Russia on the other hand would not. This is why we'll continue to see NATO and Russia tow the line of provocation to force the other to jump first.

I don't believe Putin is looking at a full scale invasion of Ukraine because it gets him more of what he doesn't want according to Chomksy. We'll see incursions/annexations and more tough talk from the West along with sanctions that exclude the Russian energy sector. NATO will continue to shrug at Zelensky because by their own rules he'll be even more ineligible for NATO membership and he'll be left with the legacy defining decision to violate the Ukrainian constitution and drop the quest for NATO membership to back the Russian military down or decide to go full YOLO.
