    Ukraine trading bodies for shells. Russia says, “m’kay.”

    The reasons are idiotic. NATO has never attacked another nation. Ever. Period. It is a pathetic excuse for a land grab, as well as destruction of a neighbor that was living a better life than Russia was.

    There is an old saying in Russia that it is better that your neighbor be less successful than you than it is for you to be successful. Russia's propaganda does not look so good when an immediate neighbor is living the good life under their noses.

    Cut to the chase: NATO is effectively the US. And since 1776 the US has been involved in approximately 400 military interventions, over 200 since 1950, over 100 since 1989.

    I see the problem. You aren't educated enough to know the difference between NATO and the U.S. Let's start you off with something simple, like Wikipedia entries.

    United States - Wikipedia

    NATO - Wikipedia

    First of all, notice that there are different entries for NATO and the U.S. That will be your first clue. Let us know when you finished reading these.

    For the advanced education, I will point out that NATO countries historically have not always followed their own agreements, such as spending 2% of their GDP on defense, even when the U.S. tried to persuade them to do so. In fact, it took Russia's invasion of Ukraine to persuade NATO countries to boost defense spending. It certainly does not look like NATO and the U.S. are one and the same.

    Second point: how many of the 400 military inventions that the U.S. was allegedly involved with did any NATO members even participate in in a significant way? I can think of the 1991 defense of Kuwait and the invasion of Afghanistan (although these were not NATO decisions).

    More shameful! Russians were operating 10 torture chambers in one region of Ukraine.

    10 Russian torture chambers found in liberated Kharkiv region

    Since NATO = U.S. and Ukrainians beating the Russians = NATO beating the Russians, then does that mean you are suggesting U.S. ground troops are in Ukraine, responsible for this catastrophic defeat of the Russian invasion force?

    I’m educated enough to reject a practical distinction between US and NATO. There is the US and it’s vassals.

    After “not one inch further East” in 1990, NATO has added 16 members and moved 1,000 km East.

    Everyone in Waycross, GA knows the containment of Russia was in view and that Ukraine became a NATO cat’s paw.

    And Biden said the quiet part allowed with “Putin has to go!”

    Well, I suspect they are, disguised as ‘foreign mercenaries’ and being killed in drafts.

    The US, NATO, pick your poison is fighting Russia with Ukrainians.

    Show us the American corpses then. Or better yet the prisoners. And, no, I don’t mean foreign legion members who are not part of the U.S. or NATO-member armed forces and are not subject to their discipline. I only ask because Ukraine has no problem showing us verified, contemporary photographs of Russian prisoners and corpses. So, surely, Russia can do the same, given how many thousands you are slaying and all.
