This is getting scary. So far, Russia has bitten off a piece of Georgia, wiped out Georgia's navy, taken Crimea, wiped out Ukraine's navy, and has an ongoing war with Ukraine. And they got away with all of it.

Ukraine thought it had a security guarantee from the US and the UK.[1] That's why they gave up the nuclear weapons they had left over from their USSR days. When the crunch came, they weren't defended by the US and the UK.

So far, Russia hasn't attacked a NATO member country. So far.

This could lead to WWIII.

Should we start what US taken on the East and how many countries invaded and annexed?

Maybe you're blind not to see that US makes Cuban crisis but in the whole World scale. And those small countries are just pawns which will be 'taken' in the big game.

The more anti-missile systems they put in the Europe, the less chance they will be hit by nukes, but nobody talks about the fate of those Europe countries.

It's the latest US way of dealing with countries growing better or in the same pace as they. They use the tactic of "color revolutions", it worked in many other countries before, so why not use that until the war happens, yea?

Let's build the TODO list of owning other country:

1) Choose any country you are interested in (not the big ones of course, they can hit you, you don't want that) 2) Send your military advisors and boxes of money to support "opposition" of let's say few thousands people (which is a less than 1% of population) 3) Make them start "peaceful protests" in capital and actively cover all those events in media, showing only one side of "tyrant leader" 4) When legal forces of country will start preventing that, call them tyranny and prevent and use sanctions and fear to prevent or even easier, start bombing them util all loyal forces remain (with NATO forces and US allies) 5) Collect your profits, put your own people in government, collect resources and plant military bases in the region. If non 1% of population starts to protest, just use military and police to make them suffer.

This worked in Iraq, Syria, Turkey and Ukraine.

It's your personal ravings about "US owns Ukraine". Ukraine is sovereign nation despite russia which constantly tries to destabilize, detroy and "own" it.

I am disgusted to read this crazy russian delirium.
