The Monroe Doctrine is a United States foreign policy position that opposes European colonialism in the Western Hemisphere. It holds that any intervention in the political affairs of the Americas by foreign powers is a potentially hostile act against the United States.[1] The doctrine was...

Obviously so, the difference was that 1, Russia has said it would mean war for 30 years, 2 Ukraine was allowed to seperate under the condition that it remain nuetral, it was Ukraine that knowingly violated that agreement , they are in breech of contract which makes that contract void and...

Within months after Russia invaded Ukraine, the explanation offered for America’s involvement changed. What had been pitched as a limited, humanitarian effort to help Ukraine defend itself morphed to include an additional aim: to degrade Russia’s capacity to fight another war in the future. In...

free of offensive threats from the United States and its allies. Having misunderstood why Russia invaded Ukraine, the West is now basing existential decisions on false premises. In doing so, it is deepening the crisis and may be sleepwalking toward nuclear war. This argument, which I now present...

excerpt: How the West Brought War to Ukraine For almost 200 years, starting with the framing of the Monroe Doctrine in 1823, the United States has asserted security claims over virtually the whole Western hemisphere. Any foreign power that places military forces near U.S. territory knows it is...

No you dont seem to get it, It wasnt about the valuable land , thats all bonus for them . not the main objective . Ukraine took the risk to join NATO despite the fact That would mean war with Russia , they threw the dice , they knew the risks , Maybe they felt Russia was in no position to...

Problem is you. You dont want to look at situation from the enemys eyes. thats why you dont understand why they would invade. His prediciment was to either allow NATO on his door step which was unacceptable terms to them. Or go to war in Ukraine before they joined NATO and take your chances...

LOL appeasing them, thats rich,

Thats hogwash. Putin wasnt even ready for war in 22. He was begging for a solution to the issue before the war started .He dam well knows he cant take on NATO, it would end up going nuclear. He invaded Ukraine with roughly 150 - 250K troops in 22 . Ukraine had 700k under arms , He was in no...

No it was off the top of my head , I didnt research the actual number, But i knew it was in the ball bark give or take . Point being , Its a lot.

Thats funny, NATO wanted to enter Georgia, Crimea, and eastern Ukraine , what a coincidence. You just made Russias point about encroahment on her borders . As far as numbers go, 6000 was a ball park number , But just for shits and giggles give me a number of nuclear weapons capable of...

WHAT? NATO entering the war against Russia makes Putin a mad man?? Its Russian doctrine, its exactly what they would do A few citys? Russia has around 6000 known nuclear warheads , but lets say We shoot down 5,900, (which we cant do since we have barely any missile defense for the...

Putin can care less what Trump demands , He knows an attack by NATO means nuclear war . Trump cant do jack squat.

Sure would. but they have to deal with the consequences That would mean NATO attacking Russia or WW3 NATO wont do that. That laughing stock is pushing back a NATO trained and equipped army , not the way I see it Dont agree with you there. Zelenski is living on borrowed time

Of course theyre not the same, different circumstances, The US was ready to invade Cuba to stop the Soviet missiles from being placed there. Its like China is going to build bases across from San Diago , and El Paso , throw in some naval bases Cancun , and Tiawana . the US would demand...
