The MIC-run media keeps telling people how we need to buy lots of weapons because the world is a dangerous place where everyone hates us, while politicians tell the public that everyone loves us and wants to be like us. BUT Russia wants to be our friend, and that's true of a lot of countries. THAT'S what is still right; we are not in as much danger as the MIC wants us to believe, and the way out is just to stop threatening Russia.
SO why did Russia move forces into Ukraine? The first problem was the US has been moving NATO ever further east, contrary to the promise made to Gorbachev when he agreed to remove Russian forces from East Germany. Then when NATO stated an intention to move forces into Ukraine Russia made it very clear that would be crossing the brightest of all red lines. In December 2021 both NATO and the White House said we will do it anyway. And NATO forces included missiles which might be conventionally armed or nuclear or some of each, and told Russia it was none of their business what weapons we put in Ukraine. We caused the problem and we can easily end it. And save a whole lot of money at the same time.
and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. (Isaiah 2:4) If we would stop vetoing every motion of the UN designed to make the world a safer place, the world would be in a much better state.
I would like to remind you that Russias annexation of crimea spurred the fear that are causing the majority of the 21’st centuries applications. You speak as if Russia is some sort of innocent player. That’s not the case at all.
Except that we had far more swords than anyone else had, and if we had not kept threatening them they would have far fewer than they have right now.
I'm still searching for anything remotely connected to the Ukraine that is vital to US national security. Ukraine was part of the USSR for decades and didn't seem to be any tremendous threat to National Security. Nothing has changed
WE are not the threat. Did WE invade Ukraine? Did WE attack Israel? Did WE threaten to swallow up Taiwan? Do WE arm Hezbollah and Hamas?
