Western support for Ukraine as it defends against Russia has globally significant consequences, Polish President Andrzej Duda said Tuesday, urging Kyiv’s backers to remain steadfast.
“It is about making sure that Russia is not able legally to forcefully shift the borders in Europe,” Duda told CNN’s Jake Tapper in an interview from the United Nations headquarters in New York.
The level of delusion westerners need to imagine Russia is doing the “expansion” that NATO has been doing since decades, breaking the Warsaw Pact in 90s, is remarkable.
One side: Votes democratically to join a military alliance.
The other side: Invades nations, commits cultural genocide and war crimes.
Tankies: It’s the same thing 🤷♂️

Which side commits cultural genocide and war crimes, again? Ukraine has been doing it since 2014 in the Donetsk Basin. You know, the country whose democratically elected Yanukovich was overthrown by a CIA coup in Euromaidan? The one about which a call was leaked between Victoria Nuland and Geoffrey Pyatt?
The other side, Russia, has been telling NATO since decades to stop the eastwards expansion, and to consider others’ interests rather than just their own. NATO broke Warsaw Pact in 90s.
There is no democracy and there is no equality in this world. Big players are kings and the small countries are geopolitical pawns. None of these European tiny countries are “independent” and “sovereign”. Even Germany is a little puppy to USA, considering they blew up the Nordstream in order to make Europe dependent on USA for gas and oil.
Every idiot like you then goes on to say “muh tankie”.
If you are unconvinced by this, go fucking watch the famous lecture by Mearsheimer (Chicago University) from 2015, which has 29 million views. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JrMiSQAGOS4
You’re rude but I agree with most of what you said. The West has been encroaching on Russia for years.
If you believe that Russia feels threatened by NATO then please explain why they’re withdrawing troops from the NATO borders, down to as low as 20%.
