0:49 _"...NATO wasn't attacking Russia..."_ Just like Cuba wasn't attacking the USA, yet they started the Cuban missile crisis and created the possibility of nuclear annihilation for all of humanity when an anti American communist nation stationed Soviet nuclear missiles near the USA, in Cuba. When you push a military organization (NATO) to the doorstep of Russia, which is an anti Russian alliance from it's conception, and you reject the Russians when they try to enter the alliance, it creates the threat of nuclear strikes aimed at Russia, and the missiles would be stationed so close to the Russian border that the Russians would not be able to defend against a nuclear missile strike. This is why they are fighting in Ukraine. I am sure the US government understands this, they simply don't care. They are willing to gamble and risk a nuclear war by fighting a proxy war in Ukraine against Russia which is reckless and evil.

Im 2015 Putin was desperately trying to find a solution to the Ukrainian crisis that started in 2014 with the coup. He met with Merkel and Holland but nobody cared. For 8 years civil war raged in Eastern Ukraine with Kiev bombing Eastern regions just because they was Pro-Russia. Finally those regions asked for help and Putin liberated those regions. All Putin wanted to do was liberate them and open peace negotiations, But NATO didn't want to. Do you understand now? They don't want US involvement over there.

[@urgreatestenemy3044]

They are smart enough to make people believe their lies it's amazing that people can't see the truth of what this war is really about. I'll let you in on what I think is happening the first thing you should know is Ukraine has been asking to join NATO for many years it wasn't until 2002 after Ukraine found a huge natural gas reserve the second largest supply in Europe did NATO reconsidered accepting them as members. Back then NATO was a little busy with two wars so they couldn't do that much about it, also I believe they didn't have a puppet in office in Ukraine so they waited. In 2019 Zelensky becomes president an actor who just so happened too had played the president on a popular TV show I highly suspect the CIA helped him get into office but I can't prove that. In 2020 we quickly withdraw all our troops from Afghanistan so we could free up our military and equipment for our next move. NATO then begins talks with Ukraine knowing Russia would not want another border nation joining an enemy coalition especially one that was created to fight against them after World War II and is also the most powerful military forces on the planet. Russia seeing the treat on their national security if Ukraine became a NATO member Russia began to amass troops on Ukraines border and tried negotiating with Ukraine to prevent them from joining NATO. After it looked like the peace talks would fail Russia began the war they knew if Ukraine became a NATO member they could never attack them without starting WW3. Understand Ukraine being in an alliance with NATO is vary bad for Russia with NATO controlling Estonia, Latvia, and Ukraine they could use them as staging grounds then using a pincher maneuver NATO could attack Russia on two fronts cut the supply lines between Belarus and Russia and come at Moscow from two different directions, look at a map and think like a general and you'll see why Russia can't let Ukraine join NATO. Once Russia attacked they began the propaganda machine drumming up support for Ukraine saying Russia attacked for no reason and that Ukraine was innocent. Once they had enough support they started to funnele billions of taxpayers money into our military industrial complex to "help Ukraine" this money goes into private companies like Boeing and Lockheed Martin so they can found a proxy war on our old enemy. We don't care about Ukraine we are using them just like we did in Afghanistan in the 80s we are providing them weapons and logistics, it's an old war tactic find someone that has a conflict with your enemy throw fuel on the fire and watch it burn give them weapons and let them fight your battles for you. Recognize how we are escalating the war by sending weapons, if we truly wanted this war to stop we would send negotiators to push Ukraine to become a independent neutral nation instead of pushing for them to become NATO member. Understand we wanted this war so our war profiteers could make billions and if Ukraine wins they would become a better trading partner with Europe for the Natural gas they need now more than ever since the Nordstream pipe line Mysteriously got blown up. We had a warning from Dwight D. Eisenhower that something like this could happen, Eisenhower said in a speech after WW2 was over "We must not fail to comprehend its grave implications. In the councils of government, we must guard against the acquisition of unwarranted influence, whether sought or unsought, by the military-industrial complex. The potential for the disastrous rise of misplaced power exists and will persist."

Very sober advice from two brilliant people. On a side note, when President Biden was elected on January 20, 2021, I was one who was pretty skeptical about him having the capacity to rule the greatest nation on earth, I do admit that I felt that he was just too old and that he would perpetuate nothing more than Obama's presidency. However now I see matters very differently indeed, I can clearly see a president with grit and clout, and the authority and a strength of will to carry out very difficult decisions and more so, to keep the alliance of democratic nations bonded together. I also believe that if Trump had remained in the presidency, things would have ended up in real shambles not only in Ukraine but also in the West whereby the US would not have assumed its leadership role and even worse, the US would have created bipartisanship between allied nations. At this stage even though I feel that some may disagree with me, but at least speaking for myself, I will commend President Biden for proving people like me that we were wrong about our perceptions or rather our misconceptions over him. SLAVA UKRAINI, God bless America, God bless President Biden.
