#ChrystiaFreeland takes #Kiev's propaganda to a new level: “There are moments in history when the great struggle between freedom & tyranny comes down to one fight in one place, which is waged for all humanity. In 1863, that place was Gettysburg...in 2022, it is Kyiv” 1/ #Ukraine
Humanity didn't ask corrupt Neo Nazi #Kiev, nor the grand daughter of a Nazi, to represent it in this war. #ChrystiaFreeland #Ukraine #cdnpoli #Canada 2/
And look who is talking tyranny, the woman/tyrant who chuckled while citing the harsh measures her gov was taking against ordinary Canadian workers protesting vaccine mandates. #ChrystiaFreeland #cdnpoli #Ukraine
Hey @cafreeland, how dare you compare the war in #Ukraine today to the struggle for freedom from Nazi tyranny in Britain and Europe during WWII when #Russia sacrificed 25 million souls to save Europe while your own grand father stood on the side of tyranny? #cdnpoli

"To understand #Russia’s fears over... western military encroachment, it is important to remember the suffering Russians endured as a result of many western invasions since 1917." middleeasteye.net/opinion/russia…
"In the wake of the Russian Revolution, the Bolsheviks not only withdrew from the “First Imperialist War”, dubbed in the West as World War I, but also granted independence to regions that were part of imperial Russia before the revolution."
"...the Bolsheviks gave up Finland, the Baltic territories and Ukraine, which became client states of Germany, as well as portions of Poland and Byelorussia."

If you want to know why #Russia's military campaign will go unimpeded and undefeated in #Ukraine, read this article: city-journal.org/putins-bet
All #US and #NATO wars are based on air supremacy. The Russian military is 'designed to win land wars while avoiding a rout from the air.' Who wants to commit troops in #Ukraine? #Russia
"#Russia launched its invasion of #Ukraine without air supremacy simply because its army was designed to operate without it."

"#Putin means what he says: #Russia’s back is to the wall, and there is nowhere to which Russia can now retreat – for them it is existential."

It's sad that it has come to this in #Ukraine but #Russia was left with no other choice. NATO has been encircling Russia ever since Putin took the helm and refused western diktat. 1/
The immediate post Soviet Russia has seen misery, degradation of quality of life and life expectancy under the western diktat of Neoliberalism and loss of sovereignty to oligarchs and multinationals. 2/
The West must learn to respect its adversaries and discuss their security concerns instead of acting arrogantly while humiliating and provoking them.3/ #Ukraine #Russia

In the 24 hours after Putin recognized two breakaway Ukrainian republics, the U.S. and its allies bought $700 million in Russian oil, gas and commodities. @JavierBlas says it'll be business as usual. #Ukraine bloomberg.com/opinion/articl… via @bopinion
"And that's the way it’s going to be — at least for now. The US & its European allies will continue buying Russian nat resources & Moscow will continue shipping them, despite the biggest political crisis between the former Cold War warriors since the collapse of the Soviet Union"
"At this point, neither Moscow nor the US & its allies have an economic, political or military interest in weaponizing oil, gas and other natural resources....The initial round of Western sanctions — and the reaction from the Kremlin — was a reflection of that current posture."

#Putin sending military help to the #Donbass is the next logical conclusion after recognizing their independence. They asked for this help. This isn't an invasion, this is similar to the Russian operation in #Syria, made at the request of the Syrian gov rt.com/russia/550408-…
However, what the #US did in #Iraq and #Syria was an invasion because the poeple of Iraq and Syria didn't ask for US military presence. #Putin #Donbass
The Russian military will limit their operation to the #Donbass, Putin has no intention of invading Ukraine and occupying areas with a population hostile to Russia like the US did in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria
