> Tell me again: when was the last time Russia established full operational, offensive bases within 30 km's of the borders of the USA with any of its clients and their military?

When was the last time the USA threatened Canada and Mexico with annihilation?

Did terrorists based in the Ukraine fly hijacked airplanes into Moscow's skyscrapers? Because that's why the USA invaded Afghanistan.

Iraq however was unjustified. The difference is that more than half of America admits it and thus freely elected a new President from a different party. Match that one Russia.

Bush was reelected after the Iraq War by a larger margin than before, serving out his full two terms.

>USA threatened Canada and Mexico

I dunno. When was the last time Canada and Mexico threatened to impound a US naval base? When was the last time Canada tried to ally with the US' principle military opponent and have its military assets installed on its territory?

>Did terrorists based in the Ukraine fly hijacked airplanes into Moscow's skyscrapers? Because that's why the USA invaded Afghanistan.

This is laughable. Those were Saudi terrorists, funded by the Saudi kingdom. By your (admittedly dubious American) logic, Russia should have invaded Hungary and destroyed its infrastructure entirely, just because Georgia sent some terrorists to Russian territory.

I also suspect the US supported Neo-NAZIs in the Ukraine. Both Congress and the Obama Administration approved this, but only when Trump got elected and hurt the feelings of women, LGBT and various minorities did Americans get angry:

The problems in mass shootings is a problem, but no one ever wants to ban military weapons from the US military and its PMCs that have killed lots of innocent people in the name of "liberation". Russia has a GDP similar to Mexico, yet the US spends $1 trillion to build the F-35 and Americans cheer because somehow China & Russia will gang up and takeover the world. Plus, you have the Phds and graduates who think we need to fight wars to maintain our standard of living. As if Saddam & Iran would refuse to sell the US oil because they want to keep it and drink it.

One of the things people overlooked, was Osama was getting to be a pain on the Taliban factions. They were willing to give up Osama if the Bush administration could provide evidence. But, the Bush & Neocons wanted to use a war in the Middle East as an excuse to carry out policies: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2001/oct/14/afghanistan.te...

I know it's hard to believe, but look at the 9/11 hijackers: They were mostly Saudi and planned the attacks in Germany and Florida, and had financial connections to factions within the Saudi royal government: https://28pages.org/2016/07/20/selected-revelations-from-the...

The US has given weapons to Mexican gangs: https://www.thenewamerican.com/usnews/crime/item/26360-congr...

And during the Clinton years, Mexico received a bailout... because most of the debt belonged to US politically connected big banks like Citigroup & others. Canada is now going to buy the F-35, so that would explain why the US doesn't really have problems with its neighbors: as long as they give US banks and military contractors money, the US won't interfere with them.

However, when a South American country decides to buy other than US-debt & weapons, it forments revolutions and installs dictators: https://www.telesurtv.net/english/analysis/10-of-the-Most-Le...

Ukraine paid the largest price in war against Nazi. Can you explain your theory about _Neo_Nazi in Ukraine?

Didn't you see the links to articles with a lot more information and from reputable journalists in the post? Why are you even asking me? Those articles will give you a lot more info. Go ask the journalists who covered the situation for this "theory about _Neo_Nazi in Ukraine". Here are more articles from some established sources:

I'm from Ukraine. Where I can meet NeoNazi? Ukraine lost about 30 millions in war against them.

If any of those articles have inaccuracies, please say so. I never visited the Ukraine and I am not claiming to be an expert. Do you live near Kiev?

I'm from Ukraine. I have 360°FOV realtime true color view at Ukraine. You asked me to say about inaccuracies, so here is answer.

In short: There is no Nazi in Ukraine. There are some attempts to create nationalistic ultra-right organizations by Russian agents, but they are monitored and destroyed as usual. (I destroyed one of them and deflect attempt to create another by myself when I was in operation).

Are there any US agents in the Ukraine? For example, the US funding of the "Azov Battalion":

"Yet some have expressed concern that some of this aid has made its way into the hands of neo-Nazi groups, such as the Azov Battalion. Last summer the Daily Beast published an interview by the journalists Will Cathcart and Joseph Epstein in which a member of the Azov battalion spoke about “his battalion’s experience with U.S. trainers and U.S. volunteers quite fondly, even mentioning U.S. volunteers engineers and medics that are still currently assisting them.”"

There is also this: "In the course of a little over four minutes, the two American diplomats exchange ideas about who ought to be promoted, and who ought to be demoted, by the United States inside Ukraine, which is suffering through a difficult and even violent political dispute over whether Ukraine will tilt east, toward Russia, or west, toward the United States and Europe. Let it first be noted that it shouldn’t be surprising that Nuland would come off as a would-be imperialist or game player. If anything, she’s long been the neoconservative inside the Obama administration." (https://www.thenation.com/article/not-so-secret-ukraine-phon...)

I was in Civil Azov for a week. I saw no Nazi in Azov regiment. It's pure military unit.

Can you point to _any_ evidence? (But exclude information from Russian Federation, please: it's completely OK for Russian invaders to have fear of Ukrainian military and throw dirty words and bold statements at them).

Are any of these videos below inaccurate? They show Azov logo as a combination of 3 fascist symbols. (Keep in mind, the mainstream media (CNN, FOX, NBC, CBS, PBS, etc) is very anti-Russian and it's only independent media that uses the word "Neo-NAZI". Mainstream media in the US repeats the press releases of the Republicans and Democrats with little investigation into their claims.)

OMG. It's symbol of French Revolution.

https://study.com/academy/lesson/nation-state-definition-exa...

The Black Sun symbol is a symbol of the French Revolution?

Why you asking that? I suspect it because your username contains 4 letters and Swastika contains 4 wings. It cannot be coincidence, right?

I'm wasn't trying to make an allegation. I was curious to see if this graphic was accurate:

https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/6/67/Azov_Bat...

My English is not good, so I don't understand some of the sarcasm you are using. I was asking out of curiosity and to get another opinion. I meant no offense.

I'm not interested in discussion about heraldic. German Nazi used Latin alphabet, so it easy to found connection between Nazi and a Latin letter for anybody who want that. For example, Nazi used eagle, Russia uses eagle, and so on. It's easy.

I already pointed to source of Azov emblem: it's symbol of French Revolution. IN symbol was used in modern Ukraine since 1991 at least (i.e. from beginning of independence).

https://uk.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%92%D1%81%D0%B5%D1%83%D0%BA...

I'm interested in actual evidence of fascism in Azov, because it will help to uncover yet another Russian agent. Number of Russian agents in Ukraine is estimated to about 20 000 agents.

Actual Black Sun symbol: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:BlackSun2.jpg .

Just curious: Black Sun is the symbol of Afro-German Nazi?

>There is no Nazi in Ukraine.

Absolute nonsense. Neo-Nazi'sm has established itself in all of the Balkan and Eastern-European states, and fascism is on the rise. None are immune to its effects, because its growth is a tool of the military-industrial complex in its effort to derive yet more profit from fear, hatred, inhumanity.

Yesterday, it was terrorists. Tomorrow its neo-Nazi's and fascists. Either way, we're gonna need weapons to defeat them all, aren't we kids ...

Where I can meet Nazi in Ukraine?

Proceed directly to the front lines.

Russia was threatened by the Ukraine? Really?

That's like the US invading Canada and saying "if we didn't do it Canada could have threatened our existence!".

It's a ridiculous statement.

Ukraines' civil unrest put Russia's not-insignificant Crimean and eastern-Ukraine military assets at risk.

Crimeans voted to join the Russian Federation - or is voting only "pure" when America does it (lol)?

Is the USA the only country who is "allowed" to protect its sovereign citizens?
