It may have escaped your attention that when the soviet empire collapsed. in no small part due to the revisionism
of the ukrainian khruschev/ brezhnev clique, there was a gentleman's agreement that NATO membership would not increase eastwards.
As many native american tribes will attest, a written agreement with washington dc is not worth the paper it is not written on, much less a verbal agreement. Also, the real evil empire is woefully short of gentlemen.
Full marks to comrade putin for opposing the CIA-sponsored coup in Kiev in 2014, regaining russian territory and stopping the shelling
of russian-speaking civilians in the donbass.
comrade putin has levels of support that can only be dreamed of by WarParty apparatchiks such as the demented biden and
serial rapist donald trump.
Are these the best that the dysfunctional us "democracy" capable of..
sadly, i think not...
Comrade Stalin
Victorious in the donbass and ultimately. in Palestine
