Please expose my lack of critical thinking and debunk a single historical point that was made. Otherwise you have not made an argument. We here are open to free debate vs ad hominem.

Nothing that you wrote above contradicts the 100% accurate claim, not a thing. Your subjective interpretations are just that. To keep it as simple as possible for you: NATO and USA gave assurances in the 1980s that not an inch of expansion encroaching on Russia would occur. It did. The USA ran a color revolution in 2014, w/ Nuland and then US ambassador to Ukraine caught on a recorded convo planning to install their president ie caught planning a coup. Putin is 100% correct in his assessments and moves re: this. All other points are historically verifiable, from WMD to Libya to mendacious bad faith negotiations over the years. Thanks.

And when are George W and Cheney going to trial at The Hague for the WMD lie? Never, because most of the lives lost were only Arabs!

i addressed your (1) in simplest terms. the rest are your opinions, and you are entitled to them.

your (4) "It is not our plan to occupy the Ukrainian territory. We do not intend to impose anything on anyone by force.тАЭ If he's not imposing by force then what exactly are the soldiers, tanks and missiles for?

you again misunderstand the nature of the operation which was spelled out for you: clearing out the country of NATO weapons and neo nazis is NOT an occupation, it is, as I wrote and Putin explained a temp operation.

I have no more time to address the rest.

It's pretty obvious that the US via NATO has been agitating in the Ukraine and poking the Bear for some years now (shudder.. think Hunter Biden's visits).

I've Ukrainian friends who explain that in many instances, people in the same family are on opposing sides (like the DeathVax) and that many, many people in the disputed areas are wanting to stay with Russia (because they're literally ethnic Russians)!

Do you think the US would have tolerated the Ruskis hanging around Alaska and trying to influence politics there?

Hmmm... I agree with Tucker Carlson, the USA should worry about its own borders.

Nope, I'd go along with the original assessment.

The absolute cherry on the top was "... ornamental election procedures..."

Bull's-eye.

I agree, but Putin should be the last person lecturing people about "ornamental elections"!

Not sure I would agree he should be the last person lecturing about ornamental elections, but I understand the point. Ornamental elections seem to be the de facto standard everywhere in the world. I suppose time will time what is fact and what is fiction from this speech. It would have been a comedy show if the US mash potato brain president give a similar speech.
