A comment on Europe said Baltics were right about Russia, but is ignoring us again.

1. US has been sole superpower for 30 years.

2. US wants to remain the only superpower.

3. US must contain Russia and China.

4. US exploits Russia-Ukraine and China-Taiwan.

5. Ukraine fell for it. Useful idiot. Will dump later.

Thankfully we know #5 is false through a cursory examination of history.

After all, the US Air Force successfully provided air support to our ally’s during the Bay of Pigs leading to a free and prosperous Cuba.

If we look to the Middle East, our Allie’s, the Taliban, share great relations with us to this day after we supported them in their endeavor to build a stable, prosperous, and free society after overthrowing the Soviets.

And how could we forget our friends in South Vietnam?

How could we forget our friends in Iraq that attacked Iran conveniently in 1980?

Feel for what? there land being invaded by a imperialistic neighbour again?.

The US is helping Ukraine defend itself from the imperialistic beast.

If all this was such a complicated ruse to contain Russia, then please get on your hotline to the Kremlin and tell them to pull out of Ukraine it will make them able to challenge the US.

And it's even what Ukraine wants!.

Win, Win.

US is not a vivificaing spirit of everything that happens on the planet. Ukrainians wanted to go their own way. Moscow didn't wanted to lose strict control over them, so they went all out in their usual style. Same thing happened in Georgia in 2008. Its the people that wanted to change things, not some magical US meddling. On the other hand if something happens then the US usually tries to exploit it for their own benefit.

IMO your way of looking at reality is wrong, because it messes causality.
