The only thing I like about Trump is exactly what so many empire managers hate about him: he gives the game away. He says the quiet parts out loud. He’s the only president who’ll openly boast that US troops are in Syria taking the oil or lament that they failed to take the oil from Venezuela, or just come right out and tell everyone he’s bought and owned by Zionist oligarchs.
Trump is the opposite of Obama, who was very skillful at putting a pretty face on the evil empire. Trump puts a very ugly face on a very ugly thing. He is a much more honest face to have on the empire. A crude, stupid plutocrat who is owned by other plutocrats is the perfect representative of that tyrannical power structure.
In 1994, Russia signed the Budapest Memorandum which requires the US and UK to defend Ukraine.
Russia had already violated their 1994 agreement with Ukraine when they invaded Crimea in 2012.
Russia specifically claimed they were only holding practice exercises before their sneak invasion.
The liberation of Crimea was in 2014. It’s unclear how treaties should affect a province/people requesting assistance from oppression, as a result of a fascist coup, incidently by US and UK. Not surprising that a treaty is not interpreted as a suicide pact.
You already lost the argument about fascist when you invaded with troops named after Hitler.
Putin has been in power for 24 years!
