Russia Ukraine war, page-66096

Just admit that you haven't got the faintest idea about how this war came to be.
And while you at it, admit that the USA wouldn't put up with either neighbour, Canada or Mexico joining up with Russia in a military pact.
like Ukraine is/was trying to do it with NATO.
Amrica would go into either of those countries and overthrow the Govt and / or bomb the living daylights out of them if they couldn't overthrow the regimes.
So there is nothing surprising about Russia not putting up with Zelensky s regime and the NATO direction which they have been seeking.
