    I was very fucking upset my government didn’t step in when Russia annexed Crimea, Ukraine disarmed with the agreement we’d fight Russia with them and we just wrote a letter. Not all of us are asleep, but our media is owned by demons.

      Another betrayal by the US.

      Russia attacking Ukraine was wrong on so many levels with the least being they signed treaties after giving up the third largest nuclear arsenal for protection from the US, UK, and Russia.

      The reality that Ukraine is essentially brothers and sisters to Russia is the real heartbreaker. It was like murdering your own family, absolutely disgusting.

        after giving up the third largest nuclear arsenal for protection from the US, UK, and Russia.

        To be fair, Ukraine never had capabilities to actually utilize that arsenal and bare minimum maintenance was very costly. The deal was beneficial for both sides, even if Russia disregarded a part of it (which still should have never happened).
