He despises the war machine. The evil Cheneys of the world. Maybe he’s a nut. Maybe he’s not. Lots of dead. Doesn’t seem too smart
His entire premise is a lie. It is built in either 1) Ukraine was about to attack Russia. That is about as likely as Mexico attacking the US, with the same likelihood of success.
Or 2) NATO was going to attack through Ukraine. For that, he can go to his Russian sources and document every single case of NATO bombs falling on nuclear powered nations. I am sure he has a great list he can share.
The US will not attack a nuclear powered nation, it is why Iran desperately wants the bomb (and a country we still haven't attacked, not even after the hostage crisis). It is why we do nothing about North Korea. It is why we turned a blind eye to Pakistani support of OBL.
So for some reason, he fully supports a Russian war machine. If you are as smart as you were telling Aloha you are, you would see that other countries can have war machines too.
The US used the same justification in Bay of Pigs, Cuba was a prelude to a Russian attack. We were wrong to do that, and we pulled our support. Unfortunately we should have stopped the Cubans landing and did not.
Cuba and Ukraine are very similar analogies. Cuba presented as much risk to the US as Ukraine to Russia.
Ukraine in no way changes the fact that Russia dwarfs our nuclear total. We won't risk that. Hell, we didn't risk it when we had the advantage. We did not bomb China in the Korean War when they had zero nukes, and you know Mac was begging for them.
Ukraine poses no risk to Russia. Except one. Tied to the West, her economy might greatly improve . Her people may become happier than the Russian people. It might force Russia to open up. That scares people who prefer totalitarianism.
