Russia likes buffer states

there's some borderline genocidal americans that abide by whatever extreme makes the other party look bad

If anything the Day of Rake is soon

Putin wants to restore the motherland

Ukraine was once part of the Soviet Union

Edit: Also he doesn't want them to join NATO

Technically nothing

They have been saying this would happen

They can say they didnt know those plans were there

NATO only did the alliance thing once and thar was 9/11

Ukraine wants to join NATO, Russia doesn't want Western influence on its doorstep, that's what I got from it at least

Putins senile identity crisis

tag team

Hope Kyiv will be untouched

We dont need a war with russia rn too much s*** goin on

Bro getting exposed

what the f*** is NATO

Libya kinda counts, kinda

Why would Mexico attack itself

So he tryna take it by force? That’s kinda super extreme and petty

hillary needs to go to prison

f***ing wild

the reason this happened is likely because the Russians overestimated the western response to their initial buildup. They must've expected weapons shipments, troops, economic support, and the whole shabang.

once it became clear that military action was unpopular and would have adverse economic effects then they said f*** it

He's trolling

from what i understand essentially ukraine was flirting with joining nato, russia really doesn't like that plus they feel they have an inherent right to the land that is now ukraine.

not saying that they're looking to swallow ukraine into russia, but they want to hold their influence on it no matter what

Thats a normal nato invasion not the alliance thing

Yup
