The Anglo-American War on Russia - Part Thirteen (Putin’s Special Military Operation)

This series has explained how senseless NATO expansion caused a war in Ukraine. Ever since American President George W. Bush announced plans to add Ukraine and Georgia to NATO in 2008, Russian leaders said this third expansion of NATO would not be allowed. Since most people of Ukraine and its President didn’t support joining NATO, the United States organized a coup in 2014 and replaced its democratic government with one supportive of becoming an American vassal state. This never occurred as several NATO members stalled efforts to add Ukraine, so the United States began making Ukraine a de facto member by providing billions of dollars to greatly expand, train, and equip its army. Despite its small army, everyone knew that Russia could expand it if necessary. It has four times the population of Ukraine, ten times its economic power, and more advanced military equipment. Yet even the ominous arrival of Russian military forces on Ukraine’s border failed to encourage implementation of signed peace agreements. Russian President Vladimir Putin reluctantly ordered Russian troops into the Donbas to help local militias expel Ukrainian troops in what he called a “Special Military Operation.” _________________________________ “Not About NATO“ | “Never About NATO“ | “Nothing to Do With NATO“ | UKRAINE WAR; Matt Orfalea; YouTube; October 2, 2023; Related Tale: “Poland Lost World War II”; Related Tales: “The Anglo-American War on Russia”; TAGS: NATO expansion Russian Special Military Operation Russo-Ukraine war Ukraine history Mearsheimer Ukraine
