And we weren't subverting Ukraine either? We turned it into a US vessel state.
And even if everything you said is 100% true. WHO CARES? Is it worth starting nuclear war? Evaporating entire cities?
FOOLS! All of you pushing for this war to continue are damned fools.
A vessel is not a vassal, but no, we didn't. We didn't continue the Soviet tradition of stripping it bare and sucking it dry like the Russians. All we did was tell the opposition leadership who from their side we'd like to deal with when the Ukrainians had had enough of the Kremlin.
And it's funny that, "We meddled in Ukrainian politics!" and it's bad, but Russia does it and it's not only perfectly reasonable and fine, but their prerogative. But, hey, totally not pro-Russia or Putin or anything. We're patriots who believe in American exceptionalism (but through the same isolationism formerly pushed by progressives instead of supporting ideals like freedom and democracy against tyranny)!!! We just want to save Ukrainian lives (by telling them to just shut up and give in to murderers, rapists, and war criminals)! Again, not pro-Russia or Putin! Just pro-peace through appeasement.
And no one is using nukes. There have been plenty of proxy wars and final conflicts in the last 80 years involving nuclear powers, and do you know how many have used nukes? None. Not one. So if you think someone is going to start, I've got some ocean front property in Arizona for you...
