Fullerene Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 1 hour ago, Binos said: It was part of a sovereign state I understand all of that. Putin was a big fan of the Soviet Union and his complaint is when 1 country suddenly became 15 countries and a lot of unimportant internal borders suddenly became international borders. I understand where he is coming from even if I don't agree with him. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

During the Cold War, the USA and the Soviet Union went to enormous lengths to avoid directly fighting each other even if their proxies suffered a lot.

Syria has been an ally of Russia for years. Unlike Brexit Britain, Russia is less than keen to reduce its sphere of influence. Syria is a mess. The assumption was that you get rid of the current ruler and then the situation will fix itself. Didn't work in Iraq, or Libya, or anywhere actually. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Russia wants to remain independent from the USA. That's all. Anne doesn't mention the money that the USA want to make when they take over Russia. Lot's to be made. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newbornbairn Posted February 13, 2022 Share Posted February 13, 2022 Quote Ukraine has called for a meeting with Russia and other members of a key European security group over the escalating tensions on its border. Foreign Minister Dmytro Kuleba said Russia had ignored formal requests to explain the build-up of troops. He said the "next step" was requesting a meeting within the next 48 hours for "transparency" about Russia's plans. Russia has denied any plans to invade Ukraine despite the build-up of some 100,000 soldiers on Ukraine's borders. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
