I swear, seeing Americans defile the proud tradition of socialim is always useful to me on days that I am fasting.
NATO absolutely provoked this, that's why it coincided perfectly with their loss of arms market in Afghanistan. Moreover, you're glossing over the history of NATO, and the historical origins of NATO.
NATO was the military contingent of the Waffen SS and the Wehrmacht. After the US annexed Germany, they took control over their military institutions, and signed over the Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS high command and administrative powers under US control.
The Gehlen Organisation, which was the intelligence wing of NATO, was more or less exclusively populated by veteran Gestapo officers. The founding chairman of NATO, Adolf Heusinger, was a wanted war criminal who participated in the Barborossa doctrine which took 27 million innocent lives.
To this day, NATO honours and recognises the Forest Brothers, who were volunteer Nazi death squads. They named streets after Hans Martin Schleyer, an SS Officer and a "martyr of communism."
They praise and openly support the paramilitary contingency of Stefan Bandera, the butcher of Babi Yar. They even have statues commemorating him.
And the purpose of NATO has always been to exterminate all life that exists east of Hungary. It is a Neo-Nazi organisation that was founded and chartered by Hitler's high command. Nuremberg focused on the political actors of Nazism, but the military actors walked free, and did so wearing NATO uniforms.
Your western tendency of branding anything outside of your borders as savage and equivalent betrays your lucidity. I'm a gypsy, are you going to tell me what going to Ukraine is like going to Russia? I'll give you some advice: It's not. There is a very clear and very obvious distinction here between forces of good and forces of evil.
The yankee liberal jingoist trick of judging one side by minimal standards and the other by utopian standards is getting old. Western countries are examined with a periscope, Eastern countries are examined with a microscope, you call this "foreign policy analysis." But I call it politically correct white supremacy.
The reason why Russia hasn't taken any territory is because they don't want any. They're there to reinforce the Minsk Agreement, something which you neglected to mention. A treaty in which the Ukraine recognises Russia as the peacekeeping force in the Donbass region.
All in all, your Chomskyite worldview is just self aggrandising yankee tripe. Russia is doing the right thing, and this war is inevitable for as long as fascism lives in the western military. How many times must the Russians save humanity before we open our eyes to lucid reality?
They already stopped Hitler from exterminating people, they stopped the US from enslaving the world under nuclear monopoly, they stopped Ronald Reagan from initiating the first strike. When do we see how the Russians can be trusted?
I see it every day in my family, becuase if it wasn't for Russia, we would've either been burned at Auschwitz, or enslaved by Americans. You should study history instead of American history.
Europe is America's newest colony, but the problem is, we invented colonialism. You can't trick us with your bibles and your gemstones. Yugoslavia was NATO's message to the east, declaring that the Barborossa edict is still in effect. This was was the product of NATO's almost century old Nazi ambitions and their fevered desire to finish what Hitler started.
