The Lookout (Twitter)

@RuneLinding @minna_alander One can't approach a aggressive Russia at war, currently mobilizing, just by hoping that if someone replaces Putin, it will end.

There's a good chance whoever comes after Putin actually could be worse, not better, so there's a need to plan and act accordingly.

@Rustkoh @T_90_M @GeromanAT They were only fighting on 1 front from 2014, they didn’t have good defense for any other front.

@Rustkoh @T_90_M @GeromanAT There is corruption in the Ukrainian Government. Putin invaded Ukraine for a number of reasons, Ukraine defunding military, stopping military programs, Russia has a lot of spies in Ukraine, borders were basically open, government is corrupt, and USA/NATO did nothing back in 2014.

@T_90_M @Rustkoh @GeromanAT There was a ton of mistakes made by Ukraine since 1995 that basically made it very weak militarily and add that with a corrupt government stealing money and spies basically in every town. There is not many bases near Crimea, Luhansk, or Kyiv. Those things should’ve not been done.

@T_90_M @Rustkoh @GeromanAT If Britain tomorrow says there’s a minimal chance of a military conflict then gives away all their nukes. They’ve just severely weakened themselves. Ukraine gave away, not some, but all their nukes. They didn’t even keep one. It was a massive stupid mistake which cost them a lot.

@T_90_M @Rustkoh @GeromanAT It was largely due to the corruption in the government and Russia not wanting their previous Soviet Countries having any Nukes. And they signed and agreement which doesn’t cost more than the paper it was written on. Then Ukrainian military was torn up and thrown into the garbage.

@T_90_M @Rustkoh @GeromanAT They were Ukrainian, my family was working secretly to build them. It’s like saying Ukraine’s part of Russia because in 1985 Ukraine wasn’t independent. Ukraine owned those nukes fully in 1994. They chose to give them away because government was and still is influenced by Russia.
