Putin urges Russian nuclear weapons boost

a reply to: seagull

The Versailles Treaty was nothing more, and on this we agree, France and Great Britain attempting to punish Germany, not just for WWI, but for the previous half-century and more of conflict. Thus setting the stage for WW2...

The US came in late, and actually should have stayed out, and probably would have save for this. The rest, as they say, was history. To call it stupid on Germany's part would be an understatement.

Which led to US staying the second time around after Germany's defeat. We have been there ever since, hardly curious considering the Warsaw Pact disbanded and went home decades ago...

History indeed.

Stay tuned. Part three is unfolding before our eyes.

How is it this time we found ourselves behaving as the Nazis?

And the only foreign armies to occupy European countries were Soviet and it was deeply resented.

"Were"? NATO forces occupy these countries, now. Shake off the Cold War propaganda and open your eyes.

People resent being occupied, everywhere.

You keep using that word, occupied. I don't think it means, what you think it means. Eastern europeans love NATO, that's why time after time, after time they elect pro-NATO politicians to govern them, while there are anti-NATO and pro-Russian parties to choose from. You can't understand what it's like to be truly occupied for hundreds of years, that's why you don't understand why would people voluntarily want to be part of NATO.

Empires always say that s***. They luuuv us. The hell. One sided view then says but they hated the other side during their occupation.

Really, really one sided to then also say, but its okay now to occupy those same countries with even more sophisticated military pointed down Russia's throat, after Russia left...

The real aggressors are the ones advancing through neutral countries up to the border of a country who has peacefully retreated, back behind theirs.

Further:

The Zimmerman telegram was the final straw, (or false flag, whichever) but public sentiment was more swayed by the sinking of the Lusitania. Theres also some discussion as to whether this event wasn't a set up as well.

Whats with the 'intrptr hide' BB code?

Aren’t Trump and Putin suppose to be friends

Something doesn’t add up folks

My conspiracy bones are starting to smell a great big rat.

And the Rat is?

The western main stream propaganda machine. Sour grapes, they lost the presidency, the senate, house and the war for information. Not to mention the covert war in Syria.

They'll never let up on Trump, sour grapes, scapegoating, the blame game. They gave Obama a free pass, Trumps not even in office and he's the communist enemy already.

See behind the veil...

I'm not an empire. Im a citizen of a country in Eastern Europe. It's me and people like me saying that. NATO didn't even want to create defense plans for the Baltics and move troops there, even though for a long time we were asking, hell even begging them to do that. Only when Russia invaded Ukraine, NATO started waking up. Neutral countries are the ones initiating their defensive measures and Russia can only blame itself for it.

Has anybody considered that this might all be to do with the incoming European 'Army'

Russia is responding defensively to NATO spreading into Eastern Europe, not the other way round.

Uhm... No.

LOL, there was no 'crisis in Crimea' until the west meddled in Ukraine. The Russians moved to protect their black sea fleet based at Sevastopol, which has been there for centuries.

Another brain washed mind freed from the 'official narrative'.

"Crisis in Crimea"?
Haha!!
Since when is a State voting to succeed from a nation a "crisis"?
You might want to get your facts straight.
Crimean State referendum
The people of Crimea VOTED to leave Ukraine and RE-join Russia. The Russians helped facilitate that after the vote. I think this TRIGGERED NATO once they realized some people would prefer Russia over NATO. Kinda like how 1/2 of America is triggered by the fact people preferred a loud mouth billionaire New Yorker over the rape enabling murderous treasonous career politician...

Helped by invading Crimea and brainwashing people that the nazis are coming?.. LOL. The Russians didn't have the right to go past their military base and run the place like it's their own. Oh and the nazis never took over the government and Putin himself recognizes the democratically elect government of Ukraine.

So there was a crisis or not? Get your narrative straight, you guys. If the West has overthrown Ukraine's government, then why did ukrainians democratically elect a pro-western and anti-russian government later on?..
Oh and you completely ignored the numbers that prove NATO is not provoking Russia, and that NATO is the one responding to aggresive Russia.

a reply to: gmacev

For Ukraine, yah. Ukraine was all about blocking Russias access to Crimea and the 6th fleet, which controls the Black Sea. Denying Russians control of the Black sea would stop their access to the Mediterranean thru the turkish straits and the Baltic states.

Look at a map.

Not even remotely close to the truth. Secondly the reasons you listed arent the ones putin listed. Please explain to us which one of you are wrong - you or Putin?

a reply to: intrptr

again not even close. Turkey has more control over the black sea than any nation on the black sea.

You mean NATO (Turkey is NATO) has control of the Black Sea?

You wish...
