putler fears Ukraine having freedom and prosperity. You could see the hatred in the subhuman trash in 2022, when they realised that Ukrainians had toilets, TV’s and most of the modern appliances. russia would never dream of raising the standard of living for the filth, nope it’s much easier to drag Ukraine down to the 18th century level of mafia land.

The authors were absolutely correct in 2022 and they are correct now.
Here is a Ukrainian perspective on the “provoked by Nato” bullshit, by Volodymyr Kukharenko from just yesterday :

“NATO promised not to extend in 1990ties, but they did!” – one of the favourite stories of Putin and Russia worshippers. But it never happened.

There was no legally binding agreement, no written treaty, no signed commitment about that. The only thing that existed were a few informal discussions about German reunification, limited to East Germany, not about Eastern Europe as a whole.

In fact, the Helsinki Final Act (1975) and the Paris Charter (1990), signed by the USSR itself, confirmed that every country has the sovereign right to choose its own alliances. Poland, the Baltics, Romania and others did exactly that: they applied for NATO membership because they feared Russian imperialism, and history proved them right.

No country was forced to join NATO, they willingly chose to do it. Especially after looking at Russian aggression in many countries. Sweden was neutral for centuries, but Putin sold them the idea of NATO.

So next time you hear someone repeat this myth, remember: it’s not about NATO “expanding eastward.” It’s about free nations running westward, away from Moscow. And ask them to show the document with “promises not to expand”, they won’t be able to find it.

And Russia attacked Ukraine not because it wanted to join NATO. In fact, before 2014 Ukrainians did not want to join, all polls show that. On the contrary, it was attacked because it did not join NATO (if it was there, Putin would think carefully before invading).”
