My God, you're stupid. Absolutely nothing is as you depict it.
Try everything. And I have all the receipts.
You must be a Russian or Chinese troll.
20 years ago you must have been screaming that anyone who questioned WMD's or the claims that Iraq planned 911 was a Saddam Lover. Same McCarthyite shit different day.
Russia could have joined NATO. They didn't want to.
Tell us you have no idea what you're talking about without telling us. Putin just like Stalin offered to join NATO shortly after taking over from Yeltsin but was refused.
Because the whole Russian psyche thing is about how they are better than everybody, including their friends in China, and they don't need anybody's help.
Do you use an M-777 or a HIMARs for your projection? Russia doesn't openly declare Russian exceptionalism, to be the "leader the free world", the shining city on the hill etc etc. That's you. After having a worldwide kinapping & torture program, 1,000 military bases around the world, and overthrown dozens of democracies since WWII.
I can tell you that most Ukrainians just want to live in peace and be part of the EU.
Except they didn't, which is why you had to overthrow their democratically elected president in 2014. Ukraine needed money and Europe offered a high interest loan with brutal austerity provisions like cutting wages and pensions. Usual "free market" BS that sells public assets to foreign "investors". Whereas Russia offered a simple low interest loan and cheap deal on gas:
Late last year, with Ukraine's state coffers running low because of overspending on political priorities like subsidizing natural gas and increasing the wages of government workers, President Viktor Yanukovych faced a choice. The European Union offered a trade deal that promised to boost Ukraine's sluggish economy in exchange for harsh and politically unpopular austerity measures. Russia offered $15 billion and didn't ask Yanukovych to change much of anything. Unsurprisingly, he rejected the EU deal and opted for Moscow's bailout instead. Thousands of angry Ukrainians took to the streets in protest, and they haven't left.
"Angry Ukrainians" being the tried and true CIA rent-a-mobs used in Iran, Venezuela, Syria, Libya, Iran again, Cuba etc cuz actual people don't want their wages and pensions cut. And you can skip the "it wasn't a coup" gaslighting when Yanukovych agreed to fewer powers and early elections to settle the dispute yet was illegally replaced less than a week later. If you're supposed pals really represented the majority, they would have simply voted him out of office. You can also skip the "parliament voted to remove him from office" when they didn't get the required number of votes to do so - ask Trump how that works.
Russia doesn't want them to exist because having presidents who don't stay in power forever shows Russians that they could have that too.
Was FDR a dictator because he was elected to a buncha terms, or because he was popular? Even Putin haters in Russia agree that having a hostile military alliance extend to Ukraine, which was used as a German invasion corridor in both world wars that cost Russia dearly, is an intolerable existential threat.
The whole "NATO caused this" excuse is just wrong.
Might wanna tell your boy Stoltenburg that. He's been openly bragging for over a year that aggressive NATO expansion triggered the war. Biden warned you of the same in 1997 when he had a functioning brain. Biden's CIA director was frantically warning Bush in 2007 that even talk of admitting Ukraine into NATO might lead to war.
If if you think that's just irrational, remember how the US threatened WWIII over the Turkish Missile Crisis at the prospect of a threat near its border. But you want Russia to roll over like dog.
Second, just so your dumb ass knows, the CCP has literally never ruled Taiwan.
Literally irrelevant, dumberass. Lets say a third party manages to replace one of our worthless corrupt warmongering parties, as the Republicans replaced the Whigs in the 1860's. Does that mean the South gets to secede again "because they've never been ruled by the Liberarians/Greens?" Taiwan has been part of China for centuries. Cope.
That makes democratic governments, particularly ones that show that such governments can actually work for ethnic Chinese people, a threat to China.
Except your precious liberal "democracies" are really oligarchies where the will of the people has as little affect on their governance as possible, by design. Think of all the claptrap you were fed in school about "the mob" when the worst disasters and depravities in human history were all made by elites. Hell, even White Anglo Saxon Protestant men weren't allowed to vote at the start unless they owned property.
I'm going to be blunt here - China would destroy the entire world if they could before the CCP would give up power.
It's not China that even has a term for controlling the entire planet, "Full Spectrum Dominance." Again, that's you. It's not China occupying most of Europe 80 years after WWII and 32 since fall of USSR. That's you. It's not China that has an obsession with spying on every conversation on the planet, that's you with the NSA. It's not China that's spent over a decade trying to send a journalist to prison for nearly two centuries for revealing its war crimes, that's you.
Believe me when I tell you that there is no future in which China and Russia in their current forms survive and there isn't another World War about it.
China and Russia get stronger every day while your ballsack drops millimeter by millimeter closer to the bandsaw that is the end of the petrodollar, and with it America's economy, currency and Empire. And you've done this to yourself. By using sanctions - which murdered 500,000 Iraqi kids in the 90's - against anyone you're annoyed with has forced them to find alternatives to the USD and US dominated financial markets.
Vast majority of humanity and the planet are sick and tired of your hypocritical imperialist bullshit.
