I don't even have a problem with isolationists (provided they don't invade anyone), it's just infuriating to act like anybody owes the US anything for what they essentially imposed on others and benefited from. E.g. Canada
PS: I'm not saying that americans were not stiffed, there is a lot of poverty in the US, but they need to ask their local billionaire oligarch why the crazy wealth they made with these partnerships didn't "trickle down" to them and why billionaires pay lower taxes than anyone else.
This has been debunked. The Donbas "rebellion" would have fizzled out without military support from the Kremlin (Igor Girkin himself admitted to this), Boris Nemtsov was assassinated for publishing a report on putin's proxy war in the Donbas. But after an surprise invasion and 3 years of debating with people like you, if you can't get the facts right, there is no point in debating anymore.
There is something I've been meaning to ask someone who lived it: was watching Yeltsin on TV as bad as watching trump? Was it the same brand of buffooning chaos and mindless dismantlement of institutions?
If that's how you see it, it's been in this trajectory since 1993, 2004, 2007, 2014, 2022. Russia would always come back to reclaim Ukraine, like they did Georgia, what do you suggest they should have done? What should Canada do if trump tries to annex it, rollover?
What scenario doesn't Ukraine get stripped for parts by some "empire" in your worldview? Because you obviously think that russia's invasion was the west's decision too. And Ukraine's decision not to roll over is also US imperialism or whatever.
