HOW EXACTLY IS PUTIN THE BAD GUY ?

[Thread]

Let's get historical first to understand current events. No country had more casualties in WW2 than Russia, it is the one that actually defeated the Nazis (not the Americans as Hollywood has you believing) but somehow after the war, it was villified...

Thus the formation of NATO, whose entire existence was about to monitor Russia or as it was back then the USSR, this period would be called the COLD WAR. Just the US & Russia flexing their muscles all around the globe in various territories - Korean war, Vietnam, Middle East...

Then a "miracle" happened, the Soviet Union was dissolved in 1991. And that would signal the end of the COLD WAR, the 2 big boys agreed not to threaten each other with nukes & they'd live happily ever after. Or so it seemed, after the dissolution of the Soviet Union...

...the various territories that were now didn't really became independent, majority of them became puppets of the US. And they'd be slowly swallowed by the US through joining NATO that by the 2000s, much of what used to be Soviet Union was NATO country...

And now Russia found itself seemingly surrounded by countries which were aligned with it's #1 enemy, the US. Ukraine & Russia are like Mexico & the US. Why does this matter? Well imagine Mexico gets friendly with Russia & allows Russia to have military "exercises"...

Would the US just fold it's arms & be like "Mexico has her sovereignty, she's free to do whatever" knowing very well she's allowed her #1 enemy close. Let's be realistic, that's the same situation, Putin found himself in, Ukraine forced his arm...

Is it bad what he did? That depends on how you look at it, from a Ukrainian point of view it's bad, from a Russian point of view it was a necessary evil. Let us not pretend as if the US is the most peaceful country that Russia shouldn't have "panicked" so to say...

Putin is nothing more than a patriot saving his country from a potential aggressor. All this talk about Putin being the new Hitler is nothing more than propaganda, his hand was forced & that's the only way he could have reacted. If anyone is to blame, it's the US

If only the US could mind it's own business & stop interfering in regions it has no connections to whatsoever. Russia & Ukraine, infact all of Eastern Europe, they're actual folks of same origin, cultures differ very little. This is a family matter, not US business...

Then again the Americans think they have the right to dictate the world affairs. In Chinese territories they poke their nose, Hong Kong is part of China but the US says differently. Taiwan as well, US pokes it's nose...

In the Middle East, same bs, the US trying to enforce it's values. Who are they to determine this is right or wrong, if the people there have always practiced those values, why should it affect Americans. Forcing their values at the same time siphoning out oil...

Finally in Africa, same stance, financing civil wars just so they can siphon natural resources. Where do you think all these militias & t€rrorist orgs get their funding from. The world is in all this turmoil, because of one country - the USA..

But of coz, they have the power of mainstream media (news channels & Hollywood) to sanitize their evil deeds. And they end up being hailed as heroes for the messes they will have created. So, what has Vladimir Putin really done, that the US hasn't done or even worse?
