I think this guy is getting a bit overboard and trying to monetize the moment. He should recall the Cold War - one country can't advance without other major powers catching up quickly. The only way to avoid conflict is diplomacy and America has been bad at it recently! The Democrats pushed both Russia and China into war mode, making them partners.

Russia's regime pushed itself into war mode. As for China - no one can push China into anything. The only way to avoid conflict is diplomacy This is unfortunately false. As indicated by all of known human history.

  Absolutely not! Violence only leads to more violence - if not immediately, then shortly after. Even the Ukraine war started with violence back in 2014. And exactly looking back into history and not just hypothesiszing that "Eye for an eye" never worked! Russia was pushed into war by Obama and Biden (when he was Obama's vice president). So, let's see how Georgia dreams to join NATO will end up! Ukraine #2? Well, Georgia is no Ukraine - at least not from a military point of view, which only matters.

    Even the Ukraine war started with violence back in 2014. Right - violent invasions of Ukrainian territory by Russia. Russia was pushed into war by Obama and Biden This just is a repeat of what you said earlier. But in short -- in no way was Russia's regime "pushed" into doing what it did in 2014. The move was entirely optional for Putin. He did what he did because he thought he could obtain a certain advantage on the playing field, and because he thought he could get away with it.

      You’re right “pushed” is the wrong word. “Provoked” (repeatedly, incessantly) would be a more appropriate way to describe the coup and subsequent actions.

        Except there was no coup, nor any subsequent actions which provoked such a response.

        Encirclement and involvement in the 2014 coup, potential and steps toward NATO expansion

        There was a coup. I watched the whole thing live. People have really short memory when the past does not serve their not-so-hidden agenda!

        So because there was a revolution in Ukraine because the then president refused to do the people's will in regards to the EU, Russia is justified in invading a sovereign nation, Ukraine, taking its territory, kidnapping its children and raping, torturing and killing its citizens. Russia has no right whatsoever to invade Ukraine. It doesn't matter that there was a "coup" in Ukraine. If there's a coup in Mexico, the US isn't justified in annexing Mexico. That's just absurd. Please, leave this place and never come back. You don't belong in civilized society.

        This is no revolution. This was a coup funded by the US and the oligarchs. I hope you enjoy the result of this "revolution"! Over a million dead, hundreds of cities and villages turned into ruins, fertile soil poison and turned into Swiss cheese, plus, Russia is winning, and nobody is interested in supporting Ukraine anymore. Happy? It was well-worth it, right? Oh, and millions of Ukrainians fled the country and not coming back!
