I'm Russian so y'all can deploy nukes on our borders but we can't deploy nukes near yours, the hypocrisy

[@AnnemarieWilliamsMissMolly]

that was a long time ago and a different leader. Putin a patient man so the American's think its weakness. when he uses his Strength we accuse him of as aggressive. he will one day push back on us on our ground, it will be Bidens fault if we don't get him out. the USA keeps pushing for war with Russia we want their vast resources and the gas also the same with Ukraine/. its not about democracy its about the wealth of resources they have. we put Zelensky in and now he will not permit elections and stays in power that's how it works. Africa is about resources. Syria gas resources. Afghanistan has gold iron ore and chromium and lead and zinc. poppy fields there to turned into opium drugs

[@PlayShorts3]

Then why block them (1962) or follow them around if they don't pose a threat? Why are you sending a submarine? They always do the opposite of what they say.
