Hi all, just want to learn more about what's happening in Russia/Ukraine right now. Like I obviously know there are tensions and what not, but what are the underlying factors at play? What is America's role in all this? Why are we training paramilitary squads in the US and who exactly are we training?
Just imagine Russia/China forming a military alliance and setting up missile "defence" systems in Cuba, Venezuela, Bolivia etc... Yeah Washington would go apeshit and invade. Russia and China has shown restraint with US and NATO militarily surrounding them.
When the Berlin Wall fell, Bush promised Gorbechev that NATO will NOT expand Eastwards towards Russia, but it is constantly expanding further and further towards Russia, Ukraine is a redline for Russia, no further US/NATO expansion.
