The truth is know nothing about Russia and Eastern European affairs.
The biggest mistake Putin made was opening up and conceding some of the red lines .
Putin was meeting Merkel bi monthly while swimming in Gas and Oil money . While his predecessor was a drunkard, Putin should never be forgiven for closing his eyes when NATO expanded Eastwards and absorbing Former USSR countries the likes of Latvia, Estonia, Liuthenia.
Then the reason he gave us was that he needs the money to modernize the economy and the army .
As for Oil and gas this was discovered eons ago and it was the motivation for Hitler invading U.S.S.R. The pipelines were expanded during Soviet times , Oil and Gas was not discovered during Putins time , Seems you slept in your history classes.
Putin knows for the survival of Russias future the current military operation is necessary. You talk of rusted weaponry thats the brainwashing we have always been talking about . U.S. Secretary of State has been on recording indicating how sophisticated and impressive the weapons are , who are you Musoit boy to say otherwise .
NATO millitary committee today giving a presser about the war and the learning points . They agree they have been lacking in some areas and Russia has also learnt from this operation and they expect some improvements from Russia in the near future , thats war for you . Hitler had the best army and military weapons at the start of the war by the end of the war USSR had better weaponry and army which made them a Super power. This is expected so you continue dickriding are you known too.
The truth is nobody cares.
Russia instead of learning from soviet fall - taking advantage of capitalism - opening up and embracing modernity - retreated to soviet era dreams. The discovery of Oil and Gas - has given Putin - the perfect platform to live in a timewrap - of his KGB days.
Now it's been found nabbing - with rusted weaponry of doubtful efficiency.
Russia cannot live in the past of sijui Catherine the great - we are in the future.
In the present and future - USA is BEHEEEEEEEEEEEEEMOTH. Russia alone is useless. US of A has 23 trillion dollar economy - far ahead in tech - and industrial-military complex that is far ahead of competition.
Chinese are playing this right - play for the long term - modernize - avoid conflict with USA - buy time.
Russia under Putin still dreams of going back to Soviet USSR glory days.
Those days are over - Russia is now almost 3rd class - importing almost everything like Kenya
The fight in Eastern Europe since 1980s has been simple - Should Eastern Europe remain in a time warp or embrace western europe modernity and living standards. The rational answer - everyone wants to live like Western Europe and Northern Americans.
Ukraine is the latest to violently break up from Russia medieval thinking. Ukraine just want to join EU for it's people to prosper. They are paying with their blood to cut ties with backwardness.
Russia after this war - should completely get out of communist time wrap - and even join EU and NATO - embrace democracy.
I have always been on the right side of history because i gauge and measure the truth , i support the truth . Im on the side of the soviets during world war 2 . On this World War 3 Im on the sides of Russians because they are right .
Ukraine was part of Soviet Union , same way California is part of U.S. how would you feel if Carlifonia declared independence then 20 years later wanted to keep offensive weapon which could be used against U.S.
Why arent you people seeing the genocide which happened in South Eastern Ukraine .
Why is NATO expanding against who ? Why did they refuse to incorporate Soviet Union ?
The truth will always prevail .
