" NATO (Whom came to OUR aid when Argentina invaded the bloody Falklands not that we needed anyone and the US did provide some belated moral support but at first did not want to get involved) is regarded as an attack upon all member states it does not work the other way around, a MEMBER nation of NATO may act independently and that is what is happening here. "
Um no this is not true. No NATO member came to our aid because Article 6 of the NATO charter limits NATO involvement to North of the tropic of Cancer and the Falklands are a long bloody way south of that. In fact France continued to try and sell Argentina Exocet anti ship missles while in the US Reagan famously declared at the time that he could not understand why two allies were arguing over "that little ice-cold bunch of land down there". Eventually, the US did help with satelite intel and a shipment of Sidewinders and fuel, but not as part of NATO.

True, but hopelessly romantic.
The Deep State is calling the shots in Ukraine. The NATO gang has provoked this situation for all the obvious reasons.
The military industrial complex rules.

After the coup in 2014, the Russian-speaking part of the population was attacked by Ukrainian nationalists.
Well Dutch natives got attacked above the Donbass , resulting in every one on that plane died.
BUK schrapnel with russian ID numbers was found inside the victims.
Why should i care about people in donbass when they did not gave a damm about dutch citizens left to rot in a field ?

Third, in the West, there is a sense that you can do whatever you want if it is in the name of western values. This is why the Russian offensive in Ukraine is passionately sanctioned, while FUKUS (France, UK, US) wars get strong political support, even if they are notoriously based on lies. “Do what I say, not what I do!” One could ask what makes the conflict in Ukraine worse than other wars. In fact, each new sanction we apply to Russia highlights the sanctions we haven’t applied earlier to the US, the UK or France.
The purpose of this incredible polarization is to prevent any dialogue or negotiation with Russia. We are back to what happened in 1914, just before the start of WWI…
