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

[Ratedg2]

They were lucky during their collapse the US as the sole super power did not completely finish them off

big mistake i guess

 

[needhelpbadlynow]

Yeah. They march into other country and take over their regime.

This one ish just want more lands

 

[BeHappyLo]

Putin admires Stalin?

Putin obviously do not admire Gorbachev, Brezhnev, Khrushchev nor Chernenko.
Putin love the Tzars.

 

[Cobra!]

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

But he's not leading the soviet union

 

[bakuganboy]

Actually it is a regional conflict, so no need to blow it up. Soon, the thing would die down, as it is going to be months and months to resolve.

 

[BeHappyLo]

But he's not leading the soviet union

pl go and do your history lessons and read up the transcript of his speech just before he launched the Ukrainian war........I am not going to educate u

 

[Cobra!]

The agreement was between US and USSR, not the Russian Federation. Since Russia declared independence from USSR, they are two separate entities.

Does it work like that? *Scratch head*

 

[Cobra!]

pl go and do your history lessons and read up the transcript of his speech just before he launched the Ukrainian war........I am not going to educate u

then why i come participate. So unfriendly one

 

[eeLoyH]

They pawned soviet since WWII
They tiam2 signed deals with Adolf, n then psycho Soviet to send more troops to defend european cntries
Soviet suffered with approx 11m soviet soldiers died than any other cntries

That's the reason Putin doesn't want those europeans/US to forget russian history n Nazi atrocities, bcos history can repeat

That doesn’t justify the invasion does it?

It’s like saying let’s revert back to pre Singapore Malaya agreements since we are scare this scare that.

oh you don’t do it? I’ll invade you.

 

[Cobra!]

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

So now 2022 beijing winter olympics he attacks ukraine and takes 2 pieces of territory from ukraine?

Wow, uncanny haha

 

[BeHappyLo]

If Ukraine still has the nukes, nobody will dare to bully her....

How Ukraine was swindled of its nukes.... In 1994, Russia promised and guaranteed Ukraine 100% security if she surrendered all her nukes.... Stupidly and naively, Ukraine believed and complied... The rest is history.

Ukraine’s nuclear regret: A look back at when and why Kyiv gave up its arsenal​

Chernobyl 1986
Budapest Memo 1994
i think one consideration the Ukrainians had in mind was the Chernobyl nuclear accident.

 

[SkyShroud]

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

Putin also say agreements with the previous garment belong to that era.

 

[BeHappyLo]

So now 2022 beijing winter olympics he attacks ukraine and takes 2 pieces of territory from ukraine?

Wow, uncanny haha

U dun know meh?
2008 Beijing Olympics - Putin attacked Georgia and took 2 territories. stopped by Bush
2014 Sochi Olympics - Putin annexed Crimea. Obama let Putin walked over.
2022 Beijing Olympics - Putin invaded Ukraine.

that is why i wrote ge suo ge hua.....u understand Chinese bo?

 

[tracerguy]

Yeah. They march into other country and take over their regime.

“March into other ****ry and take over their regime”

soli bruh, this huan my memory ish telling me only US do that. See who buay song, just label as regime change and rain bombs riao.

free pigture for you also.

 

[100Yen]

Then ask Putin to go whack those NATO joiners. Ukraine not yet a NATO. Not a NATO

 

[peterchan75]

Mikhail trusted the person who called USSR an evil empire. Being a politician himself, he shouldn't have trusted Reagan. His glasnost policy failed because USSR was almost bankrupt. Its central bank didn't print enough notes. If USSR were to throw in US$30T, today it might still exist.

Putin should have hired an abled foreigner to run the central bank. Then again, their financial system is leaky and no smart person can fix except Putin himself.

 

[Duncallmebro]

Putin also say agreements with the previous garment belong to that era.

Agreements advantageous to Russia he will say still valid, if disadvantageous to Russia he will say not valid

 

[cute_togepi]

Does it work like that? *Scratch head*

Yes. It does.

 

[Shion]

yeltsin destroyed soviet union and russia
