Putin has always said Russia was swindled because Reagan gave undertaking to Gorbachev that NATO will not expand eastwards..and so Soviet Union agreed

Russia declared independence from itself.

 

[cute_togepi]

Russia declared independence from itself.

No, they declared independence from USSR. If These are two different countries. If Russia didn't, the USSR will still be around as the USSR even if all the other Soviet Republics are gone.

Amazingly eerie parallels with the wumao mindset why they should invade Taiwan. Because my ancestors from qin dynasty once owned those lands...

 

[theMKR]

Under the guise of that country having “weapons of mass destruction “

ended up found no such weapons

if u ownself claim ur hse got wmd, police will also raid u mah.....

 

[goldnut]

Putin came into power in 2000 la.

Putin has been pissed off since 1990 when the Soviet Union broke up.

 

[silent_espy]

if u ownself claim ur hse got wmd, police will also raid u mah.....

Iraqis gave half ****** answers when UN inspectors asked about WMD. That's why people will suspect they have WMD.

 

[junjie433]

that a REUNIFIED Germany can join Nato.
各说各话........this was a major contention point for Putin over at least 15 years

If US allow Russia to join NATO then we will already achieve world peace in the EU.

 

[Justin_T]

Putin has been pissed off since 1990 when the Soviet Union broke up.

putin was already pissed when desperately burning confidential documents in the basement of the Soviet Embassy to East Germany during the fall of the Berlin war.

 

[theMKR]

They didnt want to let UN inspectors in. That's why people will suspect they have WMD.

not they ownself claim they have wmd meh?

2008 Beijing Olympics, Putin attacked Georgia and took 2 pieces of territory off Georgia. He stopped only because Bush was not a pushover. Pl do your history lessons

 

[csc12345678]

US cannot be trusted. Neither can any politicians.
And unfortunately, the way to enforce the other parties words is power, be it military or economic power.
I'm not a power person but I have to come to terms with this reality.

 

[inmyopinion]

The video is still circulating by Putin supporters:

“Putin said NATO cheated Russia (not expanding to the East)… “

 

[clon33]

ask Putin. he in Russia now or Soviet Union?
I tot he like to play with words

Yah lor.

Why was Russia allowed to take over Soviet Union permanent seat at UN security council?

Who allowed Russia to become the successor of Soviet Union?

Now UN want to try kick Putin out.

https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/25/putin-facing-efforts-isolate-diplomatically-ukraine

Spoiler

But he also asked Guterres to distribute to the security council the legal memos written by UN legal counsel dated 19 December 1991 that the Russian Federation be permitted to join the security council as the successor to the Soviet Union. Ukraine claims the constituent republics of the USSR declared in 1991 that the Soviet Union ceased to exist, and with it should have gone the legal right of any of those entities, including Russia, to sit on the council.

No decision to permit Russia to the security council was ever put to the General Assembly. The UN charter was never amended after the USSR broke up. It still references the Soviet Union, and not Russia, as one of the permanent members of the UN security council.

By contrast in 1991 China’s entry into the UN was subject to a resolution. A member of the United Nations which has persistently violated the principles contained in the present charter may be expelled from the Organization by the General Assembly upon the recommendation of the security council.

 

[rathalos]

this is a red herring. Putin never discarded his Soviet Union passion and aspirations

Putin admires Stalin?

 

[starmerck]

Soviet union still in existence?
