Poor man's Pearl Harbour.

No, it's not. But if you take a train to Paris, as I have, it will strike you how dystopian and miserable, downright ugly and repulsive the outskirts of Paris are, the Balieus, where the French confine their North African and middle Eastern migrants. There must be a lot of pent-up anger and frustration living in those awful places. They make the projects look like paradise.

On 24 June 2010 the Ukrainian Cabinet of Ministers approved an action plan to implement an annual national program of cooperation with NATO that year.[82] This included:[82] Involvement of Ukrainian aviation and transport material in the transportation of cargo and personnel of the armed forces of NATO's member states and partners participating in NATO-led peacekeeping missions and operations; The continuation of Ukraine's participation in a peacekeeping operation in Kosovo; Possible reinforcing of Ukraine's peacekeeping contingents in Afghanistan and Iraq; Ukraine's participation in a number of international events organized by NATO; Training of Ukrainian troops in the structures of NATO members. Ukraine and NATO continued to hold joint seminars and joint tactical and strategical exercises and operations during the Yanukovych Presidency. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine–NATO_relations So whilst Ukraine was briefly non-aligned, this came to a swift end when Yanukovych was ousted in the CIA formented Maidan uprising. And even during this "non-alignment" Ukraine was co-operating closely with and aiding NATO. But all that is irrelevant, Ukraine had shown it was receptive to switching sides to Europe and NATO. NATO had shown that it had lied, and deceived Russia that it would not expand eastwards. When NATO brazenly announced in Bucharest that Ukraine would become a NATO member, it was only THEN that Russia understood it was lied to and the danger of Ukraine becoming more friendly with the West than Russia was very real. Only THEN did Russia resolved to take military action, when years and years of making clear that Ukraine was a red line, when years of diplomatic efforts were shown to be fruitless. The only language the West understands, sadly is force.

Which is why Ukraine insisted on "security guarantees". However, when Johnson flew in to tell Zelensky that the West would not support any deal with Russia it was clear that there would be no security guarantees, so Zelensky had no choice but to fight as Johnson asked him to.. Of course Johnson ended the peace deal. Massive, and very prolongued peace negotiations that had gone into four rounds were abruptly ended 3 days after Zelensky welcomed Boris Johnson. You have to read the evidence like an adult. Very obviously Johnson ended the peace deal. Without security guarantees he knew Ukraine could not sign. Without Western backing it was impossible for Ukraine to sign. Of course Zelensky has to make it look like a principled decision, Russia were war criminals, etc etc, but the crux of the matter obviously was that Johnson flew in precisely with the aim to abort the peace talks and to exhort Zelensky to fight Russia instead. Zelensky's denials are not worth the paper they're written on. He just wants to make himself look good. He can hardly admit that he was railroaded by the West into war, can he? The fact is there were long peace negotiations at the start of the war, when Russia offered to end the war if Ukraine would become neutral and forego NATIO, as well some territories Russia considered hers. Ukraine would have signed if they had received security guarantees, ie had the West backed the deal, but Johnson made clear the West would not. So Ukraine had no option but to fight. For obvious reasons Zelensky would not admit that is was happened, but the head of the Ukrainian delegation has admitted it. "Elsewhere in the interview, Arakhamia brought up former U.K. Prime Minister Boris Johnson's surprise visit to Kyiv in April 2022. He said Johnson encouraged Ukraine to not "sign anything" with Russia and "just fight. https://www.newsweek.com/russia-offered-end-war-if-ukraine-dropped-nato-bid-kyiv-official-1847373

The French president was filmed being face-shoved by a woman, so the French have lost all respect for their president. In the absence of respect, there is no fear, so they do as they please.

You can keep posting misinformation if you want, but the historical record is very clear. Davyd Arakhamia, the head of the Ukrainian delegation, has said publicly that Johnson flew in to tell Zelensky to fight. "According to the lawmaker, while another round of talks was underway in Istanbul, Boris Johnson unexpectedly came to Kyiv on April 9 and said that Ukraine "shouldn't sign anything with them at all – and let's just fight." Three days after Johnson's departure from Kyiv, Putin publicly stated that talks with Ukraine had “turned into a dead end. https://www.kyivpost.com/post/24645 So it was pure coincidence then that the Ukraine/Russia peace talks that went into four rounds ended abruptly 3 days after Boris Johnson flew to Kiev?

Please. NATO grandly announced Ukraine was on track to become a member. Ukraine has enshrined the goal of NATO membership in its very constitution. in February 1994, Ukraine was the first post-Soviet country to conclude a framework agreement with NATO in the framework of the Partnership for Peace initiative, supporting the initiative of Central and Eastern European countries to join NATO. During President Viktor Yushchenko's first official visit to the United States, President George W. Bush declared: "I am a supporter of the idea of Ukraine's membership in NATO. On 27 April 2006 at a meeting of NATO foreign ministers, the representative of the NATO Secretary General, James Appathurai, stated that all members of the alliance support the speedy integration of Ukraine into NATO. At the NATO summit in Bucharest in April 2008, NATO decided it would not yet offer membership to Georgia and Ukraine; nevertheless, NATO Secretary-General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said that those two countries would eventually become members. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ukraine–NATO_relations

More lies, before the terrorist attack in Russia the Ukrainian forces were retreating and the Russians were advancing in Ukraine.

Liar! "According to a Foreign Affairs article from October 2022, multiple former senior U.S. officials said that “Russian and Ukrainian negotiators appeared to have tentatively agreed on the outlines of a negotiated interim settlement Former Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett played a large role in those April 2022 negotiations. In an interview, he also claimed that Russia and Ukraine were willing to make major concessions and end the conflict, until pressure from then UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson convinced Zelensky to back down from such a deal. Davyd Arakhamia, a Ukrainian parliamentary representative at the talks, made a similar claim. “They were hoping almost to the end to put pressure on us to sign such a document and accept neutrality. It was a big deal for them,” he said in November 2023, referring to the Russians. “They were ready to end the war if we, like Finland once did, would accept neutrality and pledge not to join NATO. In fact, that was the main point. All the rest are cosmetic and political ‘additions. https://responsiblestatecraft.org/ukraine-russia-2669196351/

That would just leave cheatin' Ukraine free to gangbang with hansum man USA and the EU. We both know that would not resolve any problems.

Actually there was. Zelensky was about to sign, when Boris Johnson flew in and told him that if Zelensky signed he would have no backing from the US or Britain. But that they should fight instead. Russia gave a last chance for peace. But Biden, Kamala and Johnson made sure Zelensky could not take it.

No, the West started it. They had promised Russia that NATO would not expand eastwards. It is all on record. Then Russia had to see that they were blatantly deceived and lied to. NATO did expand eastwards, or made its intention to do so clear. When they said NATO would welcome Ukraine, this was a red line that was crossed. By the West. The West started this war. In fact Russia again offered peace and Ukraine was about to sign on the dotted line, when Boris Johnson flew in, backed by Biden and Kamala, to tell Zelensky that if he signed he would get no support from the US or Britain, that instead they should just fight. The West started it.

Is that why Ukraine were begging for German Leopard tanks?

That's really quite an ignorant post, Russia has no interest in invading Poland, Moldovia, Bulgaria, the Baltics, Norway or Finland. They're only fortifying bases near Finland because the latter and Sweden now joined NATO. However, Russia's war against Ukraine is a defensive war, as Russia has to ensure the vast European plains can be defended. There is precisely ZERO risk of Russia attacking all the countries you mentioned because Russia's economy is the size of Spain's, even if it wanted to it couldn't do it.

Try explaining that to the Russian president who has to ensure his nation is safe but is now seeing assets in Siberia, Saratov and near Murmansk being attacked.

That's right, as is Russia, they are looking at the possibility of NATO forces invading Russia on the ground, coming in through the vast European plains to which Ukraine is the key. Not Finland, the Finnish border is much more easily defended. The vast European plains, if Ukraine defects to the West, would become indefensible.

That's a real risk of course, these incompetents stumbling into war. Just witness Merz the impotent wannabe warlord escalating things with Russia. Russia has now said that German cities that supply Ukrainian missiles or produce them will be legitimate targets. The Europeans in particular concern me. Witness also the face slapper husband in France talking about putting boots on the ground in Ukraine. It's insane.

Russia has no interest "to take Europe". Their only interest is to ensure the safety of Russia by making sure the great European plains can be defended.

For the record, I fully, unequivocally and in total moral conviction support Russia in this war, which was deceived, lied to and is merely protecting its national interest. Ukraine cheated, whilst its electricity and gas bills were paid by Russia she jumped into bed with hansum man USA and then did a gangbang with the EU and the USA. Russia has the full and total right to wage war on Ukraine. I fully spport Russia and Putin in this war against Ukraine.

No. Finland and Sweden are irrelevant to Russia. The vast European plains where Ukraine is located are much harder to defend than the Finnish border. Just take a look at the map. If Ukraine is neutral defense of Russia is much easier, if NATO encroaches there by admitting Ukraine the defense of Russia would be almost impossible.

Because Russia has no interest to invade Finland whatsoever. Finland is not on the great European plains which is a MUCH larger entry point than the Finnish border which is much easier to defend.

Lol, yes, that's why the US spent 8900000 billion USD on arming Ukraine. They have no interest in this war at all, do they? Lol. You're one joker.

No, if WW3 starts, it will definitely be Ukraine, Britain and the US that started it. Thankfully Trump, a man of peace, is in charge.

Of course. The Americans are terrified of Russia sending nukes their way. Why do you think they want a nuclear dome? That's the only reason America has not put boots on the ground in Russia, as they would have done if Russia were not a nuclear power. Americans don't want to die. This is a very smart and sensible policy. Which is also followed by most Western countries, except French face slappee, who only talked but did nothing either. The West is afraid of Russia's nuclear weapons. And rightly so.

A paper Tiger with 4000 nuclear weapons, I think you'll find.
