The West specifically provoked such a situation in Ukraine to quarrel with the fraternal people and the best way out of this situation is to join Ukraine to Russia.
Ukrainians no longer a fraternal nation for the Russian. You asked the Ukrainians whether they want to join Russia? So the brothers don't do that! Russians only think about their interests and therefore they are invaders.
After 5 years, your words turned out to be true.
The mistake the West made was to assume that Soviet leadership just magically disappeared after 1991.
When I heard George W. Bush say that he looked into Putin's eyes and "saw his soul' I almost fell off my chair.
Many Western politicians still don't understand Soviet ideology, even today.
You should not be talking to Russia or signing any trading deals, you should be bombing Russia now.
There will be no peace in the world until Russia has a semi-functional army. This Soviet cancer needs to be eradicated as soon as possible.
Putin and his enablers need to be brought to Hague on genocide and war crimes charges.
We should not be trading or have any contact with Russian citizens. All Russian citizens' assets in the West need to be confiscated. Any Russian living in the West who supports Russia need to be stripped of their assets and residency/western citizenship and sent back to Russia.
Eradicate this cancer from your western societies.
My respect to you! You are right, the West does not understand Russia and its people. When the USSR collapsed, there was no need to help Russia. It was necessary to wait until the complete collapse of the empire, then there would be no problem with this monster from the lizard era today. As for Bush Jr., this seems to be a big mistake of the American people. There has never been a bigger fool in the presidents of America.
