2 The Kremlin this week accused Western countries of an 'emotional overload' and hostility towards Russia, which it said posed no threat to them.

Notice how two neutrals, Sweden and Finland, have joined NATO. Who made that happen by their actions.

The wisdom of which has now been confirmed.

6 Notice how two neutrals, Sweden and Finland, have joined NATO. Who made that happen by their actions?

By threatening to expand into Ukraine, NATO provoked the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Putin told them he could not tolerate NATO troops on his border but in the summer of 2022, Joe Biden and Anthony Blinken insisted that they would deploy NATO troops on Russia's border. Doesn't anybody remember that? How would you feel about Chinese troops on our border?

It's no good to say that Putin invaded Ukraine as if he did it out of the blue, unprovoked, simply for his own imperialist ambition. The imperialists in this case are the globalist in America and the European Union who used NATO as a vehicle for their aggression.

A treaty organization originally dedicated to the defense of American and Western European nations with coasts on the northern Atlantic Ocean went on the offense in Eastern European. The resulting hysteria prompted globalist elements in Sweden and Finland to join the now aggressive, expansionist treaty organization.

No matter what you think of Russia or Putin, you should keep in mind that Russia has a long history of repelling invasions from the West. History also shows that Russia has only ever invaded Western Europe after being provoked by the likes of Swedish King Charles XII, Napoleon Bonaparte, Adolph Hitler and Ursula von der Leyen. To leaders like these, Russia has always appeared to be weak and vulnerable just like Putin looks now.

Charles XII, Napoleon and Hitler ended up regretting their decisions to pick a fight with Russia. Let's just hope von der Leyen, Starmer, Merz and Macron come to their senses before they get us into something we'll all regret.

8 Abu - no mention of Putin's obsessive desire to rebuild the totalitarian USSR?

9 @Abu Uluque
In summer 2022 Biden formally approved the deployment of 3,000 US troops to Poland, Germany and Romania.

At this time Russia had already invaded Ukraine with 200,000 troops.

10 Correction: The decision wasn't made in summer 2022 as you said but in February 2022, shortly before the invasion.

11 "How would you feel about Chinese troops on our border?"

How are Finland, Poland and the Baltic countries supposed to feel about Russian troops on their border?

They should know better than to poke the bear.

Putin has been in control of Russia since when? Some time in the 1990s? And in all that time what other countries has he invaded? Chechnya after their terrorist activities in Beslan and the Moscow Opera House. Georgia after NATO threatened to expand into that country. Where else?

Did he invade Iraq? Afghanistan? Libya? Syria?

I think if he really had some overwhelming desire to expand his empire he would have done more about it by now and he'd have a better army than what we've seen so far in Ukraine.

You cannot deny that his invasion of Ukraine was provoked.

13 And you know as well as I do that NATO troops have no more business in Ukraine than Chinese troops would have in Mexico or Canada, which is to say, none at all.

Up until the Maidan Coup, Ukraine served an important purpose as a neutral buffer between NATO and Russia. So much for the buffer. Now it just takes one hot headed Polish fighter pilot and we've got WWIII on our hands.
