Litwin it is a mistake to think that the only nation on Earth that is a threat to humanity is Russia, and that the USA is innocent, the USA threw two atomic bombs on another nation in its war arsenal during WWII. To think the US is not warmongering and ignoring that because you focus only on Putin's bad politics is not being politically intelligent. I am sure you know a lot of dummies on the Right where you are from.
Thinking, Moscow is terrible that means Washington DC is innocent is for foolish people with a total ignorance of facts and history. My stance is consistent. Imperialism leads all the nations who practice it, down the wrong path. They waste money on arms and war, neglect domestic needs, never face the reality that they can't control all the elements in the world and that wasting resources when there is much better things and goals to achieve with the money collected from the working people and businesses of their own nations is a fool's way of dealing with governance.
Criminal behavior on the part of government is not going to lead to peace and stability for anyone. Criminals are those willing to violate international law and be discriminatory based on if a nation has power and money, or if it is a nation that is poor and fairly powerless and can't oppose the more predatory Imperially minded nations' agendas.
Ukraine is not the most powerful or wealthy nation in the world is it? So it is vulnerable to other nations with more $$$$$$$$ and more weapons and more manipulations. Period. It is criminal to do that shit. But? The USA does that ALL THE TIME TOO.
Meanwhile, you excuse the US and criticize Moscow. Hypocritical dude you are. And you blame all Lefties without distinction. Prejudiced. I find you very limited in analysis. That is my opinion Litwin. I am sure ou find all Leftists the same, and horrible and associate them with the enemy. You are another person falling for fake news and lack of understanding of how everything has to be studied on a case-by-case basis.
I am tired of DENIALS from the men in this forum who do not even live or work in the USA at all and have not even visited once the country, yet you think the USA is the hero nation in all this. It is not intelligent in the least to be that way. I lived in the USA from the age of five years old until 14 years old. Then from 21 until 53 years old. How many years have I lived and worked and dealt with the USA and its culture, people, and economics and society? What about 40 plus years. And Puerto Ricans are US citizens since birth. Second class ones but there are no immigration restrictions for Puerto Ricans who pack their bags and go stateside. None. So? My opinion is shit because it is leftist and socialist, and yours is gold about the USA because you hate the Russian Empire behavior and the good guys have to be capitalist Yankee people who are NICE GUYS. That is simplistic bullshit that anyone with half a brain would discard. I do not think because you are Ukrianian you are not human. You are human. As a human I can guess correctly that you eat breakfast, lunch and dinner, and drink water and other drinks, that you pee, poop, and talk and type. I also can guess you speak your native language, you studied English, and you like computer stuff. You also have internet that is stable where you live. I do not know if you are in Canada, or you are in Europe, or you are in Ukraine? Do not know that. But I do know that it is arrogant to throw everyone on the opposite of your political views on the cruel and horrible people column just because you think the US government is the lesser of two evils or because any government that can take Russia out of the equation is to be trusted innately.
I do not trust Imperialist governments. They mostly war among themselves. I would like there to be a position of all the nations that refuse to be placed in a fucking sandwich between the PRC and Russia vs The USA and the EU....or the EU vs USA, or EU vs PRC etc. Fuck that shit. Most nations are like Mexico. They have no skin in the game either way. Mexico is not going to send its soldiers and money to go and back some USA adventurism in the world, nor is it going to confront the Russian Federation with language that is offensive . What does Mexico gain from such stupidity diplomatically speaking. Mexico is not going to be trying to invade half the world to be a superpower. Most nations do not have the time, the money, the manpower or the arms to do such a thing. Instead Mexico has the most signed trade agreements in the entire world Litwin. it does business with the entire world. Why? So they can survive. It is also the reason why the drug trade is problematic. Because the USA has enormous amounts of DRUG ADDICTS demanding that Mexico, Central America and South America produce the shit for all their drug addicts in the major US cities. They blame Latin America. Capitalism states that if there is a profit to be had and there are people wanting the profits that the market will be created and whoever meets the demands reaps the profits. And the USA created the demand. Their failed drug policies never work to eradicate the problem of drug addict behavior in the USA. Fentanyl, oxycontin, and who knows what else? Heroine from Afghanistan, Cocaine from Colombia, Marijuana from Mexico or Central America, and everything in between....for what purpose? For the American drug addicts in the USA.
They need to fix their own domestic issues before wanting to control the world and make everyone else choose sides and do their bidding with threats and bullshit. That is my opinion litwin, take it or leave it.
It only makes you out as falling for bad and paid-for-cheap propaganda. As they say, you have watched too many Hollywood movies. Geopolitics in the real world as practiced is not about Hollywood versions of events. It is about real-world human behavior and how the abuse of power leads to major mistakes in the long run. That is reality. Not what you think it is.
