There are genuine reasons to be wary of Russia. Russia is currently invading Europe, causing a horrific amount of death and destruction in Ukraine. Russia has also been sending assassins across Europe to kill dissidents - e.g. the assassins sent to England to poison Sergei Skripal, and the assassin sent to Germany to shoot Zelimkhan Khangoshvili.
Trump is predatory, but I would say Putin is even more predatory. At least Trump isn't (yet) sending assassins to murder dissidents.
Ukraine is a US proxy war on Russia 100% decided by US. EU is supporting the lie and fanning Russophobia through BS in desperation of keeping the war going for 0 benefit to them. Tieing your prosperity and happiness to war on Russia will turn out as well as it did for followers of Napoleon and Hitler. The good relations that existed prior to 2022, other than covid, made US colonies more prosperous.
Bribed traitors with operational knowledge to damage genuine national security/military are far more valid targets than Gary Webb, JFK, MLK, 9/11, Jeffrey Epstein, or Boeing whisteblowers.
The US didn't make Ukraine invade Russia to start the conflict. Instead, Russia (unprovoked) invaded Crimea and the Donbas in 2014.
I don't think Europe at all wants to have a fight with Russia. People just want Russia to stop attacking Ukraine.
Russia's relations with Europe were torn up by Russia, when they invaded Crimea and the Donbas in 2014.
2014 coup with installed US puppet government broke lease with Russian military port in Crimea, and began ethnic cleansing operation against its ethnic Russian minority. Russia pursued for 8 years a peaceful resolution through Minsk accords, which west used only as a delay tactic to arm Ukrainian nazi regime for war on Russia. To this day, EU/Canada losers desperately derail any peace in Ukraine and support nazi regime's perpetual terrorist operation rights. So, yes, all NATO colonies are trying to sell you prosperity through war on Russia, and doing so, based on the lies you repeat.
Ukraine's parliament democratically voted to remove Yanukovych from power. A new presidential election was held, and Poroshenko democratically won.
Please present evidence for this allegation. Russia claims Ukraine was committing genocide against ethnic Russians, but I've never seen any evidence for this claim. The UN's court said: "the Court is not in possession of evidence substantiating the allegation of the Russian Federation that genocide has been committed on Ukrainian territory".
Russia for years has tried to subjugate Ukraine. Why can't Russia just leave Ukraine alone? As for Ukraine being a "nazi regime", how is that true? Do you have evidence to show that Ukraine is systematically murdering Jews, like the Nazis did? No you don't. Zelenskyy himself is Jewish. If Ukraine were a Nazi state, they would have put Zelenskyy in a death camp, instead of electing him as president.
Black flag nazi shooting of protestors blamed on Yanukovych forced him to flee. US caught on tape installing new government. Poroshenko was backed by oligarchist media empire and US, and lost to nazi-lite peace promises from Zelensky. Even more than Canada, US puppet nazis were the only candidates that could win.
Nazi problem in Ukraine was western daily news post 2014. 15000 dead in Donbass. US congress even voted to stop direct funding of Azov Battalion, because it was too obvious.
Ukraine had volunteer SS divisions in WW2 (war criminals we give standing ovations to) that enthusiastically ran Jewish extermination camps for Germany, but also genocided other ethnic villages in west of Ukraine, while fighting Soviets (the core nazi ideology) with Germany. Post 2014 US puppet regime has ideology based on being the losing side of WW2. Just as white/christian supremacy in the US accepts/promotes Zionist/Israel first rule over the US, Zelensky's rule/survival depends on serving nazi/CIA establishment ambitions.

I guess Ukrainians should've just rolled over when russians tried to take Kyiv.
