Russia-Ukraine War - News and Developments PART 2

The US itself does not want to supply F-16s because it is afraid that things will escalate. However, the US is fine with other European countries sending the F-16s to Ukraine. I do understand the US, they naturally hope to sell new defence equipment to European countries. According to the EU, the taxpayer thinks it's fine to fund the US.
 
You guys have thus far filled thousands of pages with pure malice against Russia. Not a minute during the day is wasted. You are accusing me of seeing humans as disposable?

It is not me who is providing weapons to Ukraine. If you were really sincere about peace and saving precious lives your governments would be de-escalasting the situation. Not throwing more gasoline on a raging fire by providing weapons to Ukraine.

So Russia should be allowed to colonize any country it wants to?

Russia got away with colonizing parts of Georgia in 2008 and chose to fight a war at NATO's doorstep this time. Very wise of Russian leadership.

Russia is also eyeing Moldova. Where does this stop?

The world had supposedly moved from colonization practices but Russia shows otherwise.

Sorry but not everybody is a coward. Some will fight.

The US/NATO should first stop poking its nose in Ukraine.

So it is a two way street. You agree.
 
There are always consequences to actions. The US/NATO should have known better.

Do you even understand how the war started? Don't give me one-liners like these and check the link I shared with you in good faith.
 
The West should stop militarising Ukraine.
Why?

Post a good reason for a change.

RECAP for anybody who doesn't know how this war started.

Ukrainian political crisis began in 2013 when then Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych rejected EU-Ukraine Association Agreement and opted for Customs Union of Russia instead. This decision did not sit well with a part of Ukrainian population and protests broke out:



Yanukovych ordered crack down on the protestors but the movement grew to such extent that he chose to flee to Russia.


Yanukovych convinced Russia to intervene and Russian forces annexed Crimea as well as engineered a separatist movement in Donbas in 2014:





On the other hand, it is true that the American Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Victoria Nuland was in contact with Ukrainian politicians and her leaked call suggests that she was involved in suggesting who is acceptable in the new political setup of Ukraine:




Of-course, Russia took advantage of this controversial call to build its own narrative and make its moves in Ukraine.

The next Ukrainian President Petro Oleksiyovych Poroshenko accepted EU-Ukraine Association Agreement and sought to modernize Ukrainian armed forces in the face of Russian intervention in Crimea and Donbas:





Poroshenko was making the right calls for the country in the context of its national interests but corruption charges led to his defeat in the Ukrainian Presidential Elections held in 2019:



Russia was preparing to invade Ukraine on the other hand:



President Vladimir Putin complained that those in the WEST lie but Russia also lied when questioned on the purpose of its military buildup:

But Poroshenko's reforms seem to have paid off:

What Syria and Ukraine had in common?

An old school leadership that refused to acknowledge shift in Public opinion, chose to suppress calls for change from within the country, and sought foreign support when local measures to stop protests failed.

Yanukovych is now seen as nothing more than a Russian stooge who prioritized Russian interests over Ukrainian interests. He cannot set foot in his country again.

Assad administration chose to bomb Syrians who desired change with support of foreign powers such as Iran and Russia when its rule was under threat. Much of the Syria is reduced into a pile of rubble consequently.
