you don't get it. I didn't call them lesser evil. I meant those European nations see USA/NATO as the lesser evil, hence their decision to move towards them instead of the USSR of then. You saw my inverted commas " "


Ok noted. But NATO comprising of Germany, Romania and Finland that were Nazi allies during the WW2 are not seen as a problem but only Russia.

Contrary to what pro-ukraine and many pro-russia here think, president Putin is not a dictator, there are checks and balances in the governance of Russia. If NATO attacks Russia, it would no longer be up to president Putin, Russia would be at war, wether president Putin wants it or not. He explained this, but people like to interprete his clear and unambiguous words.

Well I hope NATO fcks around and find out. That's the only way they will stay clear of Russia. Until one of them collect wotowoto they will keep poking the bear.

Did you forget that Russia was a staunch Nazi ally before the Operation Barbarrosa?

Allies in the past doesn't necessarily means allies in the present.

Not really an ally. They didn't want to get on the bad side of the Nazis. Even before they joined the pact to invade Poland, the USSR,Britain and another country wanted to help defend Poland but Poland refused saying "allowing the Soviets will be them losing their souls"

Wether the Soviet joined Germany or not, Germany was hell bent on attacking Poland. Poland was stupid they felt, Britain and others would come to this rescue but they never did. The Soviets where only trying to buy more time for themselves because starlin never trusted Hitler to keep his words.

So my question is Finland , Romania are Nazi allies, they attacked Poland together and they also attacked the Soviet together too.
Today 3 of them are now members of NATO but only Russia is seen as the enemy why?

⚡Donald Trump's would-be assassin Ryan Wesley Routh is a fervent supporter of Ukraine and has been critical of Israel.

He was also a prominent activist for recruiting volunteers to fight in Ukraine against Russia, also for theoretical future conflict Taiwan against China.

He strongly supported global U.S. hegemony and interventions.

Russia was never a nazi ally. None agression pacte is not an alliance. Also Hitler's mein kampf made it clear that he despised Russia long before Hitler got power.
Stop your revisionism. Russia lost 27 million people in the fight against the Nazis. Show some respect!

It wasn't a pact to invade Poland, just an agreement which said Germany was entitled to western Poland and the USSR was entitled to Eastern Poland.

Hmm, I'm beginning to have doubts about the elusive RQ-180 advanced drone system.
If they truly have it, why are they letting more MQ-9 be downed on every eke market day.

⚡Kremlin on Monday said that a presumed assassination attempt on Donald Trump was a sign that the US election campaign was “intensifying”.

“We can see how tense the situation is there, including between political rivals — the political fight is intensifying,” Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said. “We are watching it closely, but we have never interfered in this in any way and we are not interfering now.”

⚡The Russian Foreign Intelligence Service reported that Ukraine intends to stage a Russian missile strike on a children's institution in Kiev-controlled territory - a hospital or kindergarten.

The Ukrainian leadership hopes to boost the morale of the Ukrainian Armed Forces in this way, justify the West's lifting of restrictions on the use of missiles deep into Russia, and attract the support of countries in the Global South.

The strike will allegedly be carried out by a missile produced by Iran or the DPRK, which will allow the United States to increase pressure on these countries.

⚡An American pastor detained in China for almost 20 years has been released from prison and flown home to his family in Texas.

David Lin, 68, was given a life sentence in 2006 on charges that the US says were bogus, after he was convicted of fraud for helping an underground church launch a meeting centre in Beijing.

His release took place just weeks after US national security adviser Jake Sullivan met China's foreign minister in the Chinese capital.

His daughter, Alice, told Politico: "No words can express the joy we have - we have a lot of time to make up for."

She added the US State Department contacted her on Saturday to confirm Chinese authorities had released her father from prison and that he would be flying into San Antonio, Texas, on Sunday.

"We welcome David Lin's release from prison in the People's Republic of China," a State Department spokesperson said.

⚡A pipeline has exploded and is on fire in a Houston suburb, forcing evacuations.

Firefighters were battling a pipeline fire in suburban Houston that sparked grass fires and burned power poles on Monday, forcing people in the surrounding neighborhood to evacuate.

The fire began at 9:55 a.m. in La Porte, located about 25 miles (40 kilometers) southwest of Houston.

Video footage from KTRK showed a park near the fire had been damaged and firefighters pouring water on homes near the blaze.

Officials have ordered residents in the Brookglen neighborhood area near the fire to evacuate, Lee Woodward, a La Porte city spokesperson said in an email.

“Please avoid the area and follow law enforcement direction. Further details will be released as available,” Woodward said.

The cause of the fire was not immediately known.

USA nato thinks it RT news, TikTok or whatever their simpleton minds tells them that opened our eyes to the propaganda they spread

This are not what opened our eyes it just common sense that did it

All you have to do is just have a functioning brain then you can put two and two together

You said nations should never invade others yet you invade and claim you did it because they had weapons of mass destruction

You ran out from one nations that kept killing your men and started a new proxy war

God told us the definition of a man and a woman then after some many years you switch it up and began making your own gender

You voiced out and say the world is over populated because you actually want to control everything this shows you want to reduce the rate of child bearing by evil means probably through wars
Etc

Your sins and evil mindset is very easy for the man with common sense to decode

LordAdam16:


Every new day brings new evidence favoring hawkish positions on the war.

Russia should sink ships belonging to any of the tiny NATO countries. Strike convoys delivering weapons in Poland and Romania.
They have to create a new escalatory ladder.

If the West does not care about retaliation by allowing long-range strikes in Russia, Putin should start striking NATO countries on the periphery who are part of the Ukrainian military supply chain.

Trigger Article 5 and let us see whether Biden and Harris will call for a draft 40 days to an election.

-Lord

If the theater of war is only in Europe, then the US has nothing to loose.

Lavrov has repeatedly warned that if the US thinks that the American mainland will be excluded from the theater of war, that they are sorely mistaking.


And it's true. As far as I am concern, nato is one giant scam. All the nato members are just layers upon layers of sacrificial lamb, protecting the main boss, the US.

So if Russia strike supply chain within its periphery, the main boss is not hurt, and though unspoken, it would be to fight till the last Romanian, the last polish, or the last European.

Everything can be and will be sacrificed for US hegemony. I mean, who in his right senses thinks country like Macedonia or Croatia needs to be in Nato?

So yeah, Lavrov was right. The war must involve US mainland otherwise the US will use all their lambs to soaked up all the blow Russia will throw, until Russia is too exhausted to fight.

The old military trick of pitting two tigers to fight to death, then kill the winning tiger who is probably already too weak to kill a rat.
