re: West continues to inflame Russia situation

Becuase most dont want Putin to lose it and start a nuke war

But where does it end?

If Putin did another 2014 and just occupied alleged breakaway sections of Eastern Ukraine, the response would not be nearly as severe. But he's going all the way to Kyiv to, presumably, install a puppet regime. This is after doing the same thing in Belarus very recently.

Now that he's crossed the Rubicon, it's no longer "inflaming Russia" if smaller countries want to protect themselves from a similar fate. That's Russia inflaming itself with paranoia, just like the justification behind this invasion of Ukraine.

This has been thoroughly disproven

No it has not, unless we're going back to talking about the NWO bio labs he's protecting the free world from.

Most of it is behind a paywall, but Matt Taibbi had a really good piece yesterday about how Putin was kind of a Saddam/Gaffadi we supported after the boob Yeltsin, then he went rogue.

Once, Putin’s KGB past, far from being seen as a negative, was viewed with relief by the American diplomatic community, which had been exhausted by the organizational incompetence of our vodka-soaked first partner, Boris Yeltsin. Putin by contrast was “a man we can do business with,” a “liberal, humane, and decent European” of “alert, controlled poise” and “well-briefed acuity,” who was open to anything, even Russia joining NATO. “I don’t see why not,” Putin said. “I would not rule out such a possibility.”

The New York Times Magazine, noting that the KGB of the seventies that Putin joined was no longer really a murder factory but just another “thinking corporation,” even compared him once to Russia’s first true Western-looking leader:

In him, Russia has found a humane version of Peter the Great, a ruler who will open the country to the influence of a world at once gentler and more dynamic than Russia has ever been.

I’ve been bitter in commentary about Putin in recent years because I never forgot the way the West smoothed his rise, and pretends now that it didn’t. It’s infuriating also that many of us who were critical of him from the start are denounced now as Putin apologists, I think in part because we have inconvenient memories about who said what at the start of his story. The effort to wipe that history clean is reaching a fever pitch this week. Before they finish the job, it seemed worth getting it all down.

From what I have read from multiple sites, Putin was fearful of the 12 biolabs that the US DOD installed and manages/managed in Ukraine. These were among the first targets of this campaign. Can't speak to the veracity of said claims. Do your own research and educate yourself.

The West had zero to do with Putin replacing Yeltsin. Some may have put a happy face on the transition, but they did nothing to promote the change in that direction.

stunningly amazing how many people who cant figure their elbow from their azzhole think that they are legit international political analysts.

Must be based on the amount of actual truthful information they are receiving...

In 2014 the US created a coup to overthrow a democratically elected Ukraine President. The US is not innocent in what we have going on in Ukraine now.

Why do you care about Russia? Frick them.

Yeah it not like an escalation of war with a nuclear superpower would have any ramifications outside of Russia.

You wanna back Putin into a corner??? Have at it, but be prepared to pick up the pieces. You hit him, be prepared for when he hits back. If you are ready to take a punch , go for it.

I remember a fight George Foreman had around 1990 - 91 he was losing on points big time. Then one uppercut from George and the fight was over and George Foreman walked off the winner. Are you ready for the possibility of the well placed uppercut?
