When the US/EU and NATO tried to get Ukraine to join NATO, back in 2013 and 2014, Ukraine's Democratically-elected President, Viktor Yanukovich said "Thanks, but no thanks." So the US - under Barack Obama - the EU, and NATO fomented, financed, and facilitated the forcible, violent overthrow of Yanukovich.

It was THEN.... right then.... that Russia realized the expansion of NATO was going to put American missiles on Ukrainian soil - and do it by overthrowing Ukraine's President! Those missiles would have a five minute flight time to Moscow.

Russia could then find itself on the wrong end of nuclear bombs with a five minute flight time to Moscow, and a slightly longer 7-10 minute flight time to Russia's strategic nuclear missile silos.

Russia pointed out that no nation on earth can defend itself against a missile with a five minute flight time from launch to impact.

Russia tried, at least TWICE, to negotiate "iron-clad, legally enforceable security guarantees" via Diplomatic efforts in December 2021 and January 2022 to protect their national security from NATO expansion and more missiles. The collective West laughed and told Russia "No."

Russia made clear this issue is a "Red Line" and they would not allow Ukraine to Join NATO.

So here we are. The neo-con war mongering globalists are doing their best to get America and Europe into a direct war with Russia, and they expect us - the citizen populations - to be their cannon fodder for something that could be prevented!

If Russia gives-in, NATO will simply continue to expand until all of Russia is surrounded. Then, one day, NATO calls and says something like, you have five minutes to surrender or we will wipe your country from the face of the earth and take all its riches. At that point, it would be too late for Russia.
