What an absolute abomination of a post. You should feel bad for being so propagandized that you are even capable of writing this slop.

> Completely ignoring Russia has been using missiles that can carry nuclear payloads for almost 3 years.

This entire conflict started because we wanted to build a cruise missile base in Ukraine, and Russia objected to the fact that it would be equipped with conventially-armed-but-nuclear-capable Tomahawks. Trump can't defund whatever pro-war think tank you stumbled out of fast enough.

Besides that being a propagandized lie and an iteration that fell off because it didn't stick, you could at least make an effort and provide a source.

But I did forget about this Russian propaganda point, thank you for pointing it out.

Also, I should add the:

- USA is building bioweapons labs in Ukraine;

- There are CIA bases in Ukraine;

Nobody is this stupid: you're being willfully dishonest. There was a planned Aegis Ashore base in Ukraine that started all of this, and it was widely publicized.

That's a bold claim from someone with a brand-new account, that didn't make a single effort to make an argument against the points I've listed.

> There was a planned Aegis Ashore base in Ukraine that started all of this, and it was widely publicized.

If it was widely publicized, it shouldn't be hard to find several reliable sources about this claim. By the way, not even Putin made that claim when he decided to annex Ukraine in 2022, stating Ukraine doesn't exist[0].

Trump is coming for you spooks. I suggest fleeing the country.

So again, no source.

Just spamming propaganda posing as a US Citizen.

We've banned the other account, but you also broke the site guidelines badly in this thread and that's also not cool.
