Forever wars are great for business. Fucking ghouls.
If only there was a country that could easily end the war by simply withdrawing back behind its borders...
But do keep cheering for a fascist dictator -- everything to oppose evil America, right? No matter how many innocents die.
Russia was very clear what their red lines were, even back in like 2009. NATO kept pushing the issue. Then, by their own admission, teams like the US 4th PsyOps orchestrated Euromaidan to overthrow the Ukrainian government. Ukraine might be mostly innocent here, but neither Russia nor NATO are.
This is just US exceptionalism in another form. The US didn't organize Euromaidan, Yanukovych wanted to become a dictator so he passed a bunch of laws to do so but people protested and he put the protestors down, causing enough protests to make him flee.
Stop assuming everything happening in the world is done by the US, your country is not that important.
Well,, admittedly the US 4th PsyOps could be lying in their promotional materials, but the track record of US support for regime changes has been pretty exceptional. Basically, past performance implies future performance.
