    Would like some legit links to your claims.

    Simply because a politician's child had a job doesn't mean the politician had their "finger in the pie" ... the majority of weapons have been supplied by non American counties (UK, Poland etc) ... can't find anything on "snipering citizens" ... and what border arms buildup?

    Edit: found some of your claims ... on a Russian propaganda "news" website

    Think you need to expand your viewing/reading options:

    Putin wants to de-Nazify Ukraine — that’s ludicrous, say the country’s Jews
    Profile: Who are Ukraine’s far-right Azov regiment? (900 in an army of 500,000)

    Mearsheimer is an interesting fellow - who's been banging his particular drum for decades - however - Ukraine (and Georgia) are sovereign states/countries and it is their choice as to whether they want to join NATO or not. Not the US and not Russia

    John Mearsheimer is wrong about the crisis in Ukraine

    To ensure you're getting a balanced view and both sides ... this is a good analyst video to watch (and a lot shorter)

    Also, on point comment from one of the viewers:

    Russia: "NATO is expanding towards us and we cannot have NATO on our border"
    Also Russia: Expands towards NATO countries

    Does anyone think that Ukraine will try and attack the Red Square parade next week? Even if they just blow up a single tank it would be a massive slap in the face for Putin!

    No - that would lose them any moral advantage they currently have.

    Zelensky is too smart to do that.

    No - but wouldn't be surprised if Putin was taken out from within by then.

    Do love the John Deere action taken John Deere Tractors Stolen by Russia in Ukraine Remotely Disabled

    I heard something hilarious yesterday:
    Russia moved nuclear missiles close to the Finish border as a threat. Finland moved tractors to the border!:D

    Some of theses vids are sub-titled some are not. Almost a relaxed attitude and a very rational one. Very determined blighters too.

    Interesting analysis from Russian retired colonel and defense columnist Mikhail Khodaryonok
    I wonder how was he allowed to say this. Also worth noting he wrote early on about the war being problematic for Russia
