    Talking about the third point on economic coersion: We have recordings of several people bragging about making aid money contingent on "quid pro quo" bullshit. I would also not be surprised if the State Department training of "media experts" all of six months before the Euromaiden, who...

    Only if "the international community" finishes wiping its ass with the pretense that they ever thought the Cold War ended, because there's not actually any treaty obligating any support for Ukraine on anything. That was a rather explicit part of the conditions for Ukraine giving up its own...

    Point 3, "The Russian Federation, the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, and the United States of America reaffirm their commitment to Ukraine, in accordance with the principals of the CSCE Final Act, to refrain from economic coercion designed to subordinate to their own...

After the US already broke that treaty by piling on...

    NATO walked up to Russia's border years before any aggression from Russia on anything. Latvia joined NATO in 2004, what the fuck did Russia do to justify that? No, the US has violated the Budapest Memorandum as well. Economic coercion is included, so the shenanigans with making foreign aid...

    Those two don't seem to be important to the "core" interests. The "essential" Russian allies in terms of raw geography, to my understanding, would actually be Latvia and Lithuania. Because that gives a land route to Kaliningrad, thus securing officially-recognized borders. I don't have all the...

    Who? Russia stopped being an avowed enemy when it stopped being the USSR, and Ukraine only saw literally any talk of formal allying after 2014, which had still not been reached at the start of this. This is 100% picking the fight for no good reason, because the belligerents do not include our...
