You must be high. Ukraine is Prosperous? It has shit all. Not only that, it has had Trillions in aid in one form or another from much of the west and Russia as well.
Duh, seems you have absolutely no interest in objecting with what I said, so you are in tacit agreement, Ukraine and your myth of Prosperous People is a farce, a complete distortion of Reality. Fuck Ukraine for participating in the illegal invasion of Iraq, 1 million dead Iraqi Civilians on Ukrainian Hands. Let's get to present day:
You think that Russia is a Dictatorship and Putin a despot,
Give people freedom and free elections and you will know what they really want, it is as simple as that. Does Russia have freedom and free elections?
So you agree yet again, except that now you're leveling serious accusations nil any evidence. Don't burden yourself by making claims you can't substantiate. Putin is Loved by his people, he has a 2 to 1 of people who are for him, vs those that aren't. His competence is unmatched, and your Accusations of Despotism should be leveled at all other countries leaders before you can speak of Putin, Russia or the people whom you believe to be Slaves in one form or another, and who seemingly Lack Values.
and that somehow, abroad, the US has accomplished anything post cold war, when it had no excuse to invade others, or to fund the overwhelming majority of dictatorships with Weapons, among the criminal bankruptcy of the US while it floats "aid" to whoever it wants? You also must be a moron to think that so many different people and cultures are All for "Western values", that they all have the same Perspective regarding Russia or the West.
20 different countries, all are begging for Western Values, because they are so Devoid of Values, Especially the Russian.
Indeed, and furthermore Russia has accomplished more to bring peace and stability to its neighbours and the world than any other countries have. To debate this trite propaganda you spew is effortless, keep the west talking points because I'm sure in your devoid of insight perspective it all makes sense. Go ahead and reveal exactly how dysfunctional your perspective is, to you it matters not what Reality is, because Ukrainian Resources are Abound and Putin is a dictator, and 20 countries all want Western Values, because they have no Values.
