Ha ha, funny joke.
Where are the 100k+ US troops on Ukrainian borders?
Where are the 100k+ US troops on Ukrainian borders?
They are only 64k+ indeed. But they are already inside EU, since WWII.
But hey, I raise you Kaliningrad.
Outside of Europe the US has obviously been up to a bunch of nasty shit, but I think we are talking about European decisionmaking here.
Not in Germany, where they have their biggest presence: https://www.faz.net/aktuell/politik/inland/deutsche-finden-a...
Nor in Italy, where they have the second-biggest presence. But it is easy to understand, considering they kill civilians for fun, but get processed in US[0], and are responsible for countless violences in the cities where their bases are[1].

It’s easy to be unhappy with some remote evils that aren’t significantly contributing to your local economy.
US has deployments all over the world after WWII in order to bully and protect its own interests.

There certainly is plenty of coercion involved in having so many deployments, but plenty of it has to do with strategic alliances.
It’s only their own expansion plans which are threatened by NATO.
As far as I understand the US still remains on another continent.
The parent comment has been flagged, but if I recall this conversation about hostility - trying to argue that the US is not hostile and that Russia is somehow unique and uniquely deserving of punishment is ridiculous, which is my point by saying the US has caused millions of deaths in the past 60 years.
Russia is.
Nobody gives a shit about the bad stuff US is doing elsewhere. It is utterly irrelevant to this conversation about European decisionmaking regarding Russia.
What you’re getting at is meaningless virtue signaling.
