> The US/EU are fully to blame for pushing Russia against a wall resulting in the current invasion. "fully". This isn't even supported by your Kissinger article for starters. "Russia and the West, and least of all the various factions in Ukraine, have not acted on this principle. Each has made the situation worse." L. Honestly, a geopolitical view that puts 100% blame on NATO for a Ukrainian invasion and civilian murder is nothing more than Kremlin regurgitation. It's rich you're lecturing on geopolitics with that kind of black and white view that can't even backup their statements with their sources. Have you ever considered why would Russia be afraid of a NATO attack on Russia, when NATO won't even defend an atrocious invasion of another country, Ukraine? Good luck squaring that cognitive dissonance. Remember, Ukrainian civilians in their cities are dying by Russian rockets right this moment. https://twitter.com/maria_avdv/status/1498544825062375434 https://twitter.com/maria_avdv/status/1498544825062375434 Who do you want to help? The rest of the world is watching your government with shame. If you don't stand up to tyranny, there's not going to be anyone standing up for tyranny happening against you. Slava Ukraini

You are cherry-picking words out of context and engaging in "Emotional Propaganda". This is disingenuous and not appreciated. The phrase "fully" here means as much as the Russians (probably "equally" would have been a better choice). You have read too much into it (i thought the context would have made it clear) and then tried to turn it around. Quoting Henry Kissinger can under no stretch of imagination be called "Kremlin Regurgitation". Read it again carefully. All of his advice were ignored by NATO/US/EU. See also https://www.dawn.com/news/1677138/ukraine-crisis https://www.dawn.com/news/1677138/ukraine-crisis for some more data. Now watch Putin's grievances (Feb 22 & 24 video addresses linked in another of my comments) and note where his aggression comes from. Taken altogether they give a good idea of how we came to be in this mess and it is clear that the NATO/US/EU played a game with Russia where Ukraine is the sacrificial pawn. Whether one agrees with it or not is beside the point, it is the confluence of policies since the breakup of USSR which has led to this Global crisis and Ukrainian suffering. It is compounded by the fact that NATO/US/EU egged and promised Ukraine all sorts of support/help but when push came to shove, abandoned them just like that. It is inexcusable and your ire is better directed at them. The Indian Govt. is doing the right thing by helping Ukraine with Humanitarian Aid (as everybody should) while diplomatically staying out of the conflict. This is the best course of action for all parties concerned until a ceasefire is reached.
