More than once in the past hundred years the U.S. has had the chance to end russian imperialism for good, but it has never seized the opportunity.
The first time was when, in 1919, William Bullitt brought lenin's proposal from Petrograd, 👇 2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/ho/time/w…
👆for a cease-fire and the fixing of borders in their current state, that is, the division of #russia into five, or more, sovereign states.
For some reason Woodrow Wilson did not even bother to respond to such a remarkable proposal. Moreover, Wilson's famous 👇
👆"Fourteen Points," in which he outlined his vision of an international order after World War I, despite all his promises, were not put into practice.
It was already clear that the terms of the Versailles peace treaty would push #Germany and #russia👇 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fourteen_…
👆into each other's arms, inevitably leading to World War II. William Bullitt unequivocally showed his attitude to this fact by resigning from the State Department in protest.
The second chance came during World War II, when the U.S. began helping the soviet union👇
👆by providing arms, ammunition, food, transport and ammunition on lend-lease terms. This dramatically affected the course of the war and allowed the #ussr to defeat Nazi Germany.
Having such advantageous negotiating positions, for some reason the US government 👇
👆received no firm guarantees from the ussr that no criminal, communist ideology would be imposed on the population in the liberated #European territories.
Moreover, at that point, it was possible to demand that Stalin soften the internal policies of the #ussr.👇
👆This would have had a significant impact on the proportion of the peoples enslaved by the communist regime within the then soviet state.
But #Roosevelt did nothing in this direction. Now we all understand the reason for what happened - 👇
👆Franklin Roosevelt's administration was literally stuffed with stalinist agents (in particular, his most trusted spy, Alger Hiss, head of the Office of Special Political Liaison, whom Roosevelt had assigned to work on the creation of the United Nations).👇
👆Roosevelt was satisfied with stalin's vague promises that he would not use terrorist methods in his zone of influence. #stalin once again deceived the U.S. leadership, with the result that, for more than 50 years, 140 million Europeans were thrown into the hell👇
👆of the Soviet dictatorship.
The third chance came in 1991, when the #ussr finally collapsed.
The U.S. government was supposed to support all the necessary democratic changes in #russia, up to and including its complete de-imperialization.
For reasons unknown, 👇
👆Ronald Reagan's assertion that russia was an evil empire was ignored. Historical lessons, such as George Kennan's "Long Telegram," in which he detailed the impossibility of cooperating with the soviet union, were not taken into account; soviet leaders👇 digitalarchive.wilsoncenter.org/document/11617…
👆were forced by their past and present to put forward a dogma that viewed the outside world as aggressive, hostile and threatening. Recall that William Bullitt and George Kennan had studied #russia well, communicating with the then intellectual elite of the #ussr.👇
👆(An interesting fact is that Bullitt and Kennan were friends with #Bulgakov, and became prototypical characters: Woland and Korovyov in The Master and Margarita. Despite Bulit's warm personal relationship with Stalin and other Soviet leaders, he informed👇
👆#Washington of the real intimidating nature of the ussr).
Instead of obstruction, the U.S. embodied the scam by offering #russia a seat in the #UN, thus demonstrating a willingness to indulge the further imperial ambitions of the kremlin rulers. By refusing to denuclearize👇
👆#russia globally, the U.S. has allowed the entire nuclear stockpile of the #ussr to be concentrated in the hands of one insane scoundrel.
Very soon we will be winning this war, and by "we" I mean #Ukraine and the collective West. We have no right to👇
👆disregard such hard and tragic lessons of history, and not take advantage of the fourth chance to end russian imperialism. #russia must be finally denuclearized, de-imperialized, #disarmed, go through a purification process👇
👆and be under external control for at least 20-30 years.
It must be finally understood that the fifth chance may not come, that #russia is not a state but a terrorist entity, that after defeat its entire territory must be placed under👇
👆#UN guardianship, that only under these conditions will russia have the opportunity, for the first time in its entire existence, to become a civilized country. #unrussiaUN#russiaisateroriststate#russiaIsLosing

За прошедшие сто лет #США не раз выпадал шанс навсегда покончить с российским империализмом, но они ни разу не воспользовались такой возможностью.
Первый раз, когда в 1919 году Уильям Буллит привез из Петрограда предложение ленина, о прекращении огня и 👇 readli.net/mir-mog-byit-d…
👆фиксирования границ в текущем состоянии, то есть разделения россии на пять, или более суверенных государств.
Вудро Вильсон почему-то не удосужился даже ответить на такое замечательное предложение. Более того, знаменитые «Четырнадцать пунктов Вильсона»,👇 ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A7%D0…
👆в которых он очертил свое видение международного устройства после Первой мировой войны, несмотря на все обещания, не были воплощены в жизнь.
Уже тогда было понятно, что условия Версальского мирного договора подтолкнут Германию и роcсию в объятия друг друга, что неизбежно👇
За минулі сто років, #США неодноразово випадав шанс назавжди покінчити з російським імперіалізмом, але жодного разу вони не скористалася такою можливістю.
Перший раз, коли у 1919 році Вільям Булліт привіз з Петрограду пропозицію леніна, по припиненню👇 2001-2009.state.gov/r/pa/ho/time/w…
👆вогню та фіксацію кордонів в поточному стані, тобто розділення росії на п’ять, або більше суверенних держав.
Вудро #Вілсон чомусь не знайшов часу навіть відповісти на таку чудову пропозицію. Більш того славнозвісні «Чотирнадцять пунктів Вілсона»,👇 uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%A7%D0…
👆в яких він окреслив своє бачення міжнародного устрою після Першої світової війни, попри обіцянки, не були втілені у життя. Вже тоді було зрозуміло, що умови Версальського мирного договору підштовхнуть Германію та #росію в обійми один одного, і що Друга Світова Війна👇
Today is the anniversary of the #Holodomor, a terrible tragedy for the entire #Ukrainian people. During the period 1932-1933 the soviet executioners exterminated more than 4-7 million people - one fifth of the then population of #Ukraine.👇
👆It is very important to understand that the genocide of the Ukrainian people was carried out by the hands of the NKVD (future #KGB), which brought up the bloodiest dictator of our time - #putin. For all these crimes against humanity,👇 archive.org/details/faminG…
👆no one in russia has ever repented, and the terrible brand of chekist continues to be perceived in #russia as an honorary title.
The Soviet executioners killed and tortured many times more of their fellow citizens than the troops of Nazi Germany during World War II. 👇
A brief analysis of the concept of a special #tribunal for the crime of aggression (STCA).
Taking into account that the crime of aggression is subject to the jurisdiction of the International Criminal Court (ICC), and in order to bring 🇷🇺 to justice within the framework of the👇
👆ICC, according to the ICC Statute and the Kampala Amendments, the referral of the case to the ICC by the UN Security Council (UNCS) is required. Since the current configuration of the UNSC does not allow for this, Ukraine has started looking for a way out of this situation.👇
👆The current concept of the establishment of the SCTA promoted by the MFA proposes to sign an agreement between Ukraine and the UN (the Secretariat) on the establishment of the SCTA within the framework of the 11 emergency special session of the UN GA. justsecurity.org/tag/u-n-genera…👇
Putin is a liar - it is an obvious fact. At first, he convinced the world and🇷🇺 that he respects the borders of🇺🇦, that he recognizes Crimea as🇺🇦, that Crimeans themselves hold referendums, that there are no🇷🇺 troops there, then mockingly boasted about the annexation of Crimea👇
👆and the instigation of war in the east of 🇺🇦.
putin lied to🇷🇺 about the impossibility of raising the retirement age, that changing the Constitution is a crime, and many other things. But the most brazen lie, imho, is that putin built his 2018 election campaign on the slogans👇
👆of peace, saying that if🇷🇺choose another candidate, they will inevitably end up at the front in the trenches, only he is capable of protecting🇺🇦 from war.
After the attack on🇺🇦 and the declaration of mobilization, all🇷🇺 finally understood the price of their president's lies.👇
путін брехун – це очевидний факт. Спочатку він переконував світове співтовариство та 🇷🇺, що поважає кордони🇺🇦, що визнає Крим🇺🇦, що референдуми проводять самі кримчани, що🇷🇺 військ там немає, потім глумлячись похвалявся анексією Криму, та розпалюванням війни на сході 🇺🇦!👇
👆путін брехав 🇷🇺 про неможливість підвищення пенсійного віку, про те що змінювати Конституцію – це злочин, про багато чого іншого. Але самою нахабною брехнею, на мій погляд, є те, що свою передвиборну компанію 2018 року путін побудував на гаслах миру, мовляв якщо 🇷🇺 виберуть👇
👆іншого кандидата, то неминуче попадуть на фронт в окопи, тільки він здатен уберегти🇷🇺 від війни.
Після нападу на 🇺🇦 та проголошення мобілізації, всі росіяни нарешті зрозуміли ціну брехні путіна.
Очевидним став факт, що саме брехня путіна привела їх до смерті в окопах. 👇
