the US is basically pulling a Cuban Missle Crisis with the roles reversed
The Cuban missile crisis was precipitated by the US placing intermediate range nuclear missiles in Turkey. The Russian move to do the same in Cuba was spun as an escalation when it was really a tit for tat.
Part of the deal ending the matter was the US agreeing to quietly remove the missiles from Turkey a few months later.
In that sense, Ukraine is eerily similar. We've been fucking around there for a decade taking ever more provocative actions, and every time Russia escalates in response we put on the surprised Pikachu face and act like it was for no reason at all other than they're just evil.
It's also eerily similar that before the Cuban missile crisis there was the Cuban Revolution which only happened because Cuba was totally being fucked over by the US and was being used as America's playground.
Ukraine is the same situation, how many Democrats and Republicans had their hand in that cookie jar? I mean christ the President of the United States put his fuck up son on a energy board there. Just like Cuba we're risking a nuclear war because a few senators and other politician's wallets went lighter.
