Stalin confiscated grain from Ukraine and the result was millions of people starved to death.Putin's Special Military Operation keeps the lights on in Kiev as opposed to Fallujah. Putin's defending his border from a NATO puppet installed by an illegal coup designed to force regime change in Moscow. The US has displaced millions of innocent civilians since 1945 for economic gain and Ukrainians are the latest (but not its last) victims.

Russia invaded Hungary in 1956...why? Because they strayed from the party line.
They invaded Czechoslovakia in 1968...why? Same reason. They put up an iron curtain across Europe. Why? Because people chose to escape. A wall divided Berlin. Why? Too many people escaped their chains.
The Russians put a Russian army officer in control of North Korea...and set up the North Korean army for invasion.
Why did Russia invade Afghanistan? Why did they murder Amin?
Does this actually condemn the US for not going to war?

I feel a bit lightheaded. Maybe you should drive.
Yes, because he is a gaslighter extraordinaire - which is why you worship him.
Who is the gaslighting extraordinaire ?

It raises the question did Ike intervene in Suez in 1956 to foster expectations in Hungary the west would intercede militarily in their revolution.

"This study differs markedly from a number of Hungarian, American, and other historical accounts that take a harsher view of U.S. policy, accusing it of cynicism, hypocrisy, and plain obliviousness about the nature of the crisis.
"For one thing, it suggests that the U.N. decision to send an emergency force to the Middle East during the Suez crisis, more than the administration’s rhetoric about loosening Moscow’s ties with the East European satellites or hopes of liberation fostered by Radio Free Europe, was chiefly responsible for any expectations of Western military assistance that Hungarians had."
Bizarre logic...how does that justify the Russian invasion?

There is nothing about Suez that involved the Russian invasion of Hungary. It gives you a problem trying to defend Russia and the interference in other nations. The US did not send troops into the area during the French, British and Israeli war on Egypt.
The Russian invasion began in June 1956. The war on Egypt started in October.
So explain why you cannot actually refute anything he wrote?
No kidding...Patriot missiles can be repurposed to carry nuclear warheads? Got a link to that?

Bizarre only to those who conflate "good guys" with mass murder, displacement, and meddling in the domestic politics of foreign states in order to fatten the bottom lines of stat-spangled SOBs:
Months before the French, British and Israelis go to war against Egypt, there was an attempt to elect a government not owned by the Kremlin....How does the reaction by Eisenhower to the Suez war have anything to do with Russia's invasion of Hungary?
It was Russian interference in Hungary that became an invasion by Russia. So mass murder, displacement and meddling was in what way related to the Suez war? Why do you think Russia invaded?
This is why I contend that the US shouldn't be the world police.
We should monitor the pulse but don't act out of greed and haste.
Our bravado has finally caught up with us.
