This whole Ukrainian mess has been started by the "West"...

This whole Ukrainian mess has been started by the "West" primarily by Washington,
Russia has never stopped supplying gas to Europe even during the "Cold War."

The Americans' are doing this to destroy the Nord Stream 2 certification that is being carried out by Germany and sell their own LNG into Europe at a substantially higher price. The only way to do that is by whipping up a NATO, Russian confrontation and accuse the Russians of imminent invasion of Ukraine. Would Americans' want Russian Nukes on their doorstep? Maybe in Cuba or Mexico? Probably not!
So why does America think its ok to Surround Russia with NATO bases? A Ukrainian membership into NATO is a major "Red line" Putin and Russia has every right to defend themselves from the West's aggression. Lets not forget America has over thrown legitimate Governments around the World many dozens of times and now wants to start another war with Russia using NATO members. Fcuking insane.
I personally think America doesn't want a diplomatic solution as it doesn't benefit their nefarious intentions.
