Britain, France, Belgium, Netherlands et.al. have all relinquished their empires. The USA voluntarily gave the Philippines full independence after WW2. Only Moscow refuses to accept that the era of empires is OVER, and demands to re-construct theirs by force of arms, at the expense of the peoples who were finally freed in 1991.

This of course means nothing to you. As far as Russians are concerned, might makes right, period, end of story. Has been so since the Mongol period ended. Which is why western nations oppose Putin, why NATO still exists, and why more nations in Russia's proximity have asked to join NATO since 2022. ASKED to join. The NATO charter does not allow it to force itself on anyone. (Another lie you Russophiles keep promoting....that NATO was expanding itself into Ukraine. Any and all contacts with NATO were/are at Ukraine's instigation. Had to be. The events of 2014 and 2022 confirmed their fears. And everybody else's.

There you go with the name calling Chad.

You think you’re so smart but you can’t or won’t grasp the fact that we who are against funding the Biden/Zelensky Laundromat are not in love with Russia. FReepers have explained that to you numerous times.

The only good thing about Russia is they don’t have their hands in the pockets of the US Taxpayers unlike Ukraine.

And why can’t your Einstein-like brain grasp the fact the we are out of money? Every 100 days, a trillion dollars is added to our national debt. We are broke.

Hey Chad, I am joining your side. In fact I think we should set aside $500B now to help out Ukraine and send it as soon as we have a good plan. BTW what is the plan? Just curious so I can get four square behind this really urgent task to bleed ourself white to get Putin out of your toy closet.
