    Nuclear weapons owned by the United States have been deployed in Europe since the mid-1950s, when President Dwight D. Eisenhower authorized their storage at allied North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO) bases on the continent for use against the Soviet Union.

    That's nice. What the hell does this have to do with Putler's war of aggression or Ukraine receiving tanks?

    I know what's being discussed. You seem to want to justify Putler's actions.

    Where are you that you're not being "left alone" by Ukraine's forces? Most peculiar.

    I'm from USA, dude. There wouldn't be high amounts of inflation in the US if there wasn't a US war influence in Ukraine. There wouldn't be supply chain shortages in the US if there wasn't a US war influence in Ukraine. There wouldn't be fears of nuclear war in the US if there wasn't a US war influence in Ukraine. Figure it out, just once.

    Russia lost 20 million people in WW2. They won’t let that happen again.

    Let this sink in!
    • According to Britannica.com, an estimated 40,000,000 to 50,000,000 people died during World War II. Among the Allied powers, the U.S.S.R. suffered the greatest total number of dead: perhaps 18,000,000. An estimated 5,800,000 Poles died, which was 20 percent of Poland’s prewar population. About 298,000 Americans died.

    Best way to avoid that is not starting a war, but it seems you want just that.

    If you don't want to get nuked don't **** with a country that lost so many in WW2. They won't let it happen again. Russians will protect their country at all cost. Just like the US would do.

    Who's ****ing with whom, eh? They're the ********* who just invaded a neighboring country and they're the ones throwing waves of untrained conscripts and freed prisoners at a defending army for no better reason than to seize some new territory that they don't need but their deranged, amoral leader wants.

    Putin is in the process of killing off the entire Russian ethnicity. There were only 8 million young men in Russia between the ages of 18-30 before Putin's war of aggression. Two million have fled, around 180,000 killed or wounded, and the war will continue on for years. The Russian economy is shrinking and won't recover for at least a decade. Enjoy stagnation and depopulation, you deserve it.

    But the pandemic is now over. Why the continued supply chain shortages and continued high inflation in America? Because of America's involvement in the Ukraine war, for example.

    Putin believes Russia is damned if they don’t stop NATO now or after Ukraine joins NATO.

    Oh dear. There you go again making things up. The Warsaw Pact was a European alliance. No non-European nation attempted to join it. Cuba made no attempt to join it and did not need to. America did nothing to stop Cuba getting security guarantees from Russia. You really need to avoid discussing history. Its embarrassing

    In contrast to your Cuban fantasy world, Putin has invaded Ukraine claiming he wants to stop it joining NATO. If Ukraine is free to join NATO then you must support Russia withdrawing from Ukraine so it can join NATO and secure its borders. Do you support that?
