Everybody knows how corrupt Ukraine is. Even President Trump has not been that crazy about all the money we’re pumping into this Democrat war. Because President Trump knows Russian history. He also knows that Biden made tons of money for the Biden crime family in Ukraine. But it’s mostly about security.
4 lame ducks setting up post-Senate gigs
6 frauds who voted to send tens of billions in US dollars and unaccountable US weaponry to Ukraine while slowly stripping Americans of their 2A rights at a time our government has turned against its own people
Senate GOP is a disgrace https://t.co/LUMepdSG7s

Everybody has tried to invade Russia. Huns, Mongols, German knights, Swedes, France, the Germans, and then the Germans. Most didn’t get very far cause the winter killed them. So you can see why Putin is touchy when NATO gets too close and Germany is a big player in NATO. And who’s trying to get into NATO now? The Swedes.
NATO was supposed to be a defense group. Then why does it need to go all the way up to Russia’s borders? Russia has never invaded anybody that didn’t have it coming. Just like us.
Putin too has done lots of good things. He killed communism for good in Russia. Brought in lots of oil money. He kept the place law abiding and traditional. He is close to his church and he doesn’t tolerate any woke garbage. We could use some of that here.
Ukraine is a corrupt country that was getting close to EU and NATO. How can Putin allow that? Plus Ukraine is really a part of Russian anyway. So he’s just taking back what was his.
George Washington told us to stay out of European wars. But Democrats don’t listen and our money gets spent, money we could use right here in America, on fighting a country that isn’t our enemy.
President Trump wouldn’t do that and he is popular in Russia. But there wasn’t no collusion or anything in the election. Putin just knew Trump could be a friend. Russia is the biggest country in the world. Why wouldn’t we want to be friends with it? And they buy a lot of our wheat. That helps our farmers.
But Democrats and city types don’t care about farmers or the Heartland so they try and hurt Putin cause he is about tradition and agriculture. Here he is talking about Russian history.
“Peter the Great waged the Great Northern War for 21 years. It would seem that he was at war with Sweden, he took something from them,” Putin said. “He did not take anything from them, he returned [them].”
“Apparently, it also fell to us to return [what is Russia’s] and strengthen [the country]. And if we proceed from the fact that these basic values form the basis of our existence, we will certainly succeed in solving the tasks that we face,” he continued, referring to Ukraine. “It’s impossible — do you understand — impossible to build a fence around a country like Russia,” Putin said.
Exactly. So you need defense. Not countries that don’t like you breathing down your throat on your borders.

Isnt Russia as corrupt as Ukraine or More??
What country isn’t corrupt in one way or another!
Not to any knowledge – that’s one of the good things Putin did:
He threw out most of those big thieves of common property (Yeltsin’s Oligarchs),
who sit now in the West and try to get their stolen goods back through US courts.
BUT AS FOR UKRAINE: It’s not so much the Corruption (which is said to be worst in the world)
IT IS THE RADICAL NATIONALISM, BASED ON THE FASCIST TIME UNDER NAZIS IN WWII!
I think we’re closer culturally to Russia than to Ukraine. I’ve been saying all along that we might be backing the wrong horse.
Doesn’t it bother you to have your noses so far up Putin’s backside that you can spout the GRU-derived words without gagging ? BTW – you don’t Invade the Country next door to defend your own. Russia has done it five times in the last 20 years.

Jim, thank you for this piece. The U.S. media is hellbent on demonizing Putin, so it’s a barrage of disinformation that is swaying public opinion. But those who know actual Russian aims and intent are very much in line with what you state in the piece, above. To answer another poster in this thread, yes, Russia is at least as corrupt as Ukraine. Indeed, almost as corrupt as the United States. Please, everyone, look at the bigger picture. Those who want you to hate Putin and Russia are the same ones who want you to love NATO and the European “Union.” It is those shadowy people who have long-term plans for you, plans you will not like.
So Russia invades central Europe and the EU, NATO,the US and the UN should just accept that? And Moldova? The Baltic States? Aah, who cares they were part of the Soviet Union. Europe has been at war for the past two millennia. We finally had an agreement that seemed to keep a peaceful status quo. EU, NATO, American and British troops stationed everywhere. Russia invades and everyone starts rearming and looking over their shoulders. Absolutely nothing good can come from a new improved Russia. Only more wars.
