The worst mistake my country ever made was allowing the russians to take our Nuclear weapons in the name of "peace".

First, let's remember that russia was an ally of Hitler's at the beginning of the war.

The USA, who apparently didn't help in the war whatsoever, needlessly gave russia the equivalent of $800bn in today's dollars to fight Hitler.

We also needlessly sacrificed 400,000 brave young men, to save Europe for the second time in 20 years.

Stalin made it clear that the USSR would have fallen without Lend-Lease .. until we told him it was time to start paying us back, then the party line changed to America being the western zionist aggressors.

Russia really screwed America as a thank you. They were given a 90% discount on their debt, with zero interest. It took them 70 years to pay it, which means they paid $900,000,000 back on a $250bn loan.

50,000 sailors died at the hands of Hitler's Navy specifically to block that trade. I guess their deaths were in vane? russians will probably say they never died and America never sent aid.

Here's a short list of the aid Americans gifted to Russia, who apparently didn't need any of it:

400,000 jeeps and trucks 14,000 airplanes 8,000 tractors 13,000 tanks More than 1.5 million blankets 15 million pairs of army boots 107,000 tons of cotton 2.7 million tons of petroleum products (to fuel airplanes, trucks, and tanks) 4.5 million tons of food

Clearly the west didn't do anything. russians fought off Hitler with their bare hands, with no supplies, killing millions of nazis with borscht. Europe and America didn't so much as throw rocks on the western front.

It's also a felony to mention Stalin's purges, the Bolshevik Pogroms in Poland, the Holodomyr where Stalin murdered 5 million Ukrainians,

Read up on Nazinsky Island where Stalin sent 5,000 "Kulaks" (subsistence farmers) who resisted forced collectivism. Over 3,000 died in 6 weeks from disease, starvation, bullets and cannibalism.

Stalin made my people eat each other, and it is illegal to mention this in the free, glorious russian empire.

So what if there is anti-russian sentiment? russians have earned their reputation with the 10-15 million Ukrainians they have murdered over the past 150 years. We don't need neo-nazis to make us hate russians for what they have done to our families and friends and our country. I don't know anybody who didn't lose grandparents or great grandparents to Stalin's purges.

I have now lost 3 family members and 15 people from my graduating uni class.

Germany has neo-nazis in its military. russia's military is entirely conscripts and track-suit wearing, Neo-soviets covered in anti-Ukrainian tattoos.

America's military is at least 20% neo-nazi/extremist.

There are bad apples in every country.

Just like the USA saved russia and Europe from Hitler, we will save Europe and America from vladolf putler. You can all be cowards and sleep peacefully in your bed while I hear bombshells every night.

When somebody sacrifices their lives to protect their fellow countrymen, they deserve respect, no matter how awful their hearts are. Those people sacrificed their lives and didn't give a crap what you thought about them. They died saving their wives, their mothers, their children, and their fellow countrymen who they didn't even agree with.

vladolf putler has murdered at least 250,000 Ukrainians now. If you think the this is good, let's get together for coffee and discuss it. I will use on you the persuasive technique that Wagner uses on my people.

Israel is attack Iran's weapons manufacturing capacity, which is a help.

Otherwise? The answer is money. Almost every russian oligarch has bought Israeli citizenship.

Israel doesn't need to take sides It knows that Americans will never, ever, ever, ever enact any policies against Israel, because the political blowback would end their careers. We will always give welfare to Israel's army, and we will always make decisions in favor of Israel which are against American interests.

Israel knows there is good money to be made here.
