It’s nuts that there are still grown adults who think Putin invaded Ukraine for no other reason than because he is evil and hates freedom. Focus less on the Azov Battalion and more on the fact that the US deliberately provoked this war with the goal of toppling Moscow.

Putin is after Ukraine's oil and he is an evil piece of shit.

Putin doesn't want NATO parking missiles on its borders. It wants its direct neighbors to be neutral countries unaffilated with the US or NATO. You've been slurping up Western propaganda but to anyone with a more nuanced view it's obvious that Russia is trying to defend its sovereignty and that it was provoked by the US here.

If Russia takes over the Ukraine it will border 4 NATO countries. Not wanting NATO on it's borders is clearly not a Russian concern at all.

Putin doesn't get to dictate the policies of sovereign nations.

You're being mislead by the Kremlin. Sad.

    Those actions are met with consequences. This will end terribly for Russia.

    I don't watch CNN.

    Isn't it weird that your opinions match perfectly with what the US power establishment wants you to think?

    If they could alter your brain directly they wouldn't need to change a thing.

    Can you point to where the US government has said it's in anyway about oil?

    Almost as if you're too ignorant to see the bigger picture.

    The bigger picture is that Russia was goaded and backed into a corner. Henry Kissinger and many others were warning a war would start if the US didn't change.

    It's called the Imperialist Interest. Read "Settlers: The Mythology of the Good Goyim" by J. Sakai.

      Personal attacks like this break Saidit sitewide rules.

      Somebody in Washington really hates Putin.

      [–]jet199 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (0 children)

      Yeah, they told him for months they wouldn't do anything if he invaded the Ukraine so he invaded.

      Such hate.
