    Ukraine isn’t America, and Russia invaded Ukraine, not America. You have no logic here.

      His logic is that russia is so dumb that they jumped into an obvious “trap” set by US “proxy” so that KGB putin can help US destroy russia through Ukraine. he made it sound like putin is a fool and was tricked into invading to weaken russia.

      If putin was not interested in war and expanding territories, they would not have blocked Ukraine from joining Europes’s NATO so that the border can be peaceful, just like the other russia borders with NATO.

      It is clear that russia wanted ports in crimea and Ukraine territories, which is why russia started blocking Ukraine from joining NATO. In the beginning, russia was ok with Ukraine joining NATO. Russia wanted war in Ukraine for some reason and have been planning it for a very long time, with their puppets, funding coups, terrorist and operatives in donbas region. https://www.en.kremlin.ru/events/president/transcripts/21598

          And I said they are the lesser evil vs the US in this situation, by far.

            The US isn’t invading Russia. The only involvement the US has in the Russo-Ukranian war is in your head.

              the US has probably put more than 100 billion dollars in at this point.
