    Considering Russia’s red lines were made very clear (and were crossed), I’m not sure why anyone is surprised.

    China’s red lines were also very clear, but then Pelosi decided to stomp right over them anyway.

    It’s rather concerning how today we’re more concerned about protecting ideology than we are about maintaining world peace.

      The only way to not have crossed Russia’s supposed red lines would have been for Ukraine to never exist in the first place.

      No matter what was done Putin would have found some way to justify his invasion.

        Russia’s red lines were primarily “no foreign intervention into Ukraine.” Considering that the US 4th Psychological Operations Group literally posted a video claiming that they organized and supported and “pulled the strings of” Euromaidan…

      China doesn’t get to dictate what Taiwan does.

      Russia doesn’t get to dictate what Ukraine does.

      Very simple. The only ideology being pushed here is the delusion that one country should be able to dictate the actions of another to placate the ego of an authoritarian leader. Implying Russia or China were forced into doing anything is some DARVO bullshit.
