Vladimir Putin accuses West of seeking to destroy Russia

[Dr Frook]

Yep, its all the 'Wests' fault that Russia decided to invade the Ukraine and ruin its own economy. Not. Though the west could have handled the situation better, stopping the overthrow of the existing Ukrainian President would have averted all the crap that has happened this year. Lesson to learn from this crap - western countries should really stay the frook out of eastern European situations.

recet socio-economic and foreign and militaristic moves done by the West kind of do give Russia a justification of at least thinking that. I mean, if the Russians supported a coup in Mexico to overthrow the Mexican Republic and its new government was pro-Russian and listened to Russia, i'd be paranoid that russia is making some advancements at America. And thats exactly what happened in Ukraine.

nah all the west wants is for russia to enter the fold and become another member of nato and the EU. They want russia to join the club, not think it is being surrounded and invaded. Or maybe I am naive and the west is truly evil indeed.

Everyone saying that Russia and the USA are gonna cause World War III ....

To be honest, it's already Cold War II.

Yeah, that could be right, but for example just recent politics, the EU showed little effort in even trying to negotiate with Russia, and they purposely took the position that annoyed Russia the most, and on top of that, the United States supported the neo-nazi coup of the Ukrainian Republic. I'm not saying Russia is right, but they got a right to be at least paranoid with recent activities. Yeah, dem ruskis can always take different approaches and not be so aggressive and illogical like bullying poor Estonia i mean who do you think countries will align to when you bully them?? Russia or the West???
