Was not going to happen, not after the experiences of the Great Patriotic War and fascist occupation. The Soviet union lost 26 million dead during that war. Russia will never let that happen again, and they are fully prepared to use nukes if they deem necessary.

And you are correct about the US. If Mexico, lets say, had a revolution and the new government formed a military alliance with Russia, absolutely the US would attack Mexico to stop it, acting unilaterally if need be. No one should pretend otherwise.

Mexico allied with the Nazis.

And what did we do then?
Absolutely nothing.

And SOVIET Russia lost all those people because of the stupidity and ineptitude of their leaders. Stalin stayed in bed for 3 months while the Nazis ran wild.
And THAT was after he signed the non-agression pact with Nazi Germany in August of 1939, which was the very last thing Hitler needed to do the invasion of Poland.
Which, notably, the Russians joined in on, gleefully. They also killed 12,000 Polish military men and leaders.
Not everyone is as stupid about history as you pretend to be. A lot of us know EXACTLY how Russia behaved in WWII.
And it's NOT pretty.

That's 58 people who have a perfectly clear idea of how SOVIETS work, because they are not delusional or stupid.
The Chinese SOVIETS are no different than the Russian SOVIETS, and they will behave the same way.

Don't be an American hypocrite.

You crack me up. You cite the TWO COUNTRIES THAT ARE SOVIET, AND EVERYONE WANTS TO LEAVE THEM.

Has the U.S. attacked Cuba? Not since the Bay of Pigs, and that was done by former Cubans trying to get rid of the Cuban SOVIETS and take their country back.
Not a week goes by without the U.S. Coast Guard picking up refugees from SOVIET Cuba, voting with their rickety boats, for freedom.

SOVIET philosophy, economic theory, and social structure are outdated, failed, and going extinct.

Dude, cut the dramatics. We all know how this is going to go. Russia will receive denouncements and sanctions and they will seek to do the same using the leverage they have over the oil industry. (That IS what the average American will actually feel from this conflict.) After awhile, Russia and Ukraine will have negotiations, which they're already trying to do.

You drama queens are really out here pretending WW3 is upon us. Drop the hysterics and get a fucking grip guy, you'll be okay, I promise.

The guy who looks like he got ran over by a tank has a RPG next to his head. Wonder what that's about. RIP

Anyone who disagrees doesn't know what's going on

On Ukrainian & Russian social medias, photos show the Russian SU-25M pilot dead, suggest that he was captured alive and then executed on ground

Coordinates on one of documents say "50 36 06, 30 11 34", which points on Gostomel airfield.
