    It is a bad idea to trust and rely on Ameeica. Some Afgans learned this lesson in 2021, the same is happening to Ukraine now.

        Gaddafi’s is just sad. Such a terrible decision to give up their nuclear deterrence and trust western governments.

        Nukes are why the DPRK hasn’t been invaded again, and why it hasn’t ended up Libya is now.

      Ukraine rely on a lot more than just the USA. But what else can they do? It’s either that or they get annexed.

      Their are a small country versus a world power.

        The region doesn’t rely on the US, the post-2014 fascist government that doesn’t care about the wishes of eastern Ukrainians does.

        There wasn’t a problem here until the US-backed coup in 2014 and subsequent killing of eastern Ukrainians and Crimeans (if you’re wondering why Crimeans overwhelmingly support Russia) by the coup gov for resisting, which also doesn’t respect the Minsk agreements to stay neutral.
