U.S. President Donald Trump’s envoy to Ukraine, Keith Kellogg, said Russia’s concern over the eastward enlargement of NATO was fair and the United States did not want to see Ukraine in the U.S.-led military alliance.

    They all know that they could be the next Ukraine

    Ukraine as a country didn’t even exist at the time the URSS was formed. Its current territory was literally split between Russia and Poland.

    All of those actions listed from 1938 to 1945 were offensive in nature

    I concede that I was wrong about Poland and Finland. But you’re wrong in the timeline between 1941 and 1945. After Hitlet tried to invade the USSR, they paid a heavy price in human lives and became the nazi’s worst enemies because of that.

    Great whataboutism with the US though!

    Vietnam was a proxy war. Yes, they were very involved in the war. But the one that got rebuked was the USA, they even got boots on the ground and lost anyway.

    And I reiterate my point: Russia != USSR. Your “continential imperialism” is bullshit.
