Why the United States emphasizes Ukraine's territorial integrity and opposes Russian aggression?

[HuangJingwen]

The difference stems from America’s strategic interests and historical alliances.
In Ukraine, the U. S. sees defending territorial integrity as essential to deterring Russian expansion and upholding international law. In contrast, Israel is a long-standing ally that Washington views as vital to its security presence in the Middle East.

As a result, the U. S. tends to justify Israel’s use of force as self-defense against terrorism, even when civilian casualties rise. This double standard reflects a geopolitical calculation rather than a purely moral stance — balancing principles of human rights with the realities of power and alliance politics。

America's strategic interest in Ukraine is to harm Russia. It is obsessed with destroying the Russian government and Balkanizing the country so that it can capitalize on its resources.

The U. S. engineered the 2014 coup d'etat in Ukraine. Nazis took control of Zelensky and started a war against Russians and Russian speaking people in Ukraine.
People in Crimea and eastern Ukraine begged Russia to defend them.
In particular, Russia would never surrender its 225 year old naval base and assets in Crimea.
Russia tried for 8 years to negotiate a peace accord to keep NATO out of Ukraine but the U. S., EU and NATO convinced Zelensky that they would defend him.

Finally, Russia realized that it had no choice but to secure Crimea and eastern Ukraine by force and show everyone that it meant business.

Bummer for U. S. chemical and bio weapons sites in Ukraine and for corporations like Blackrock that thought they would gobble up Ukraine's farmlands and mineral resources.

It's funny how the U. S. and the west characterize Putin as the aggressor and claim that his goal is to not only capture all of Ukraine but expand into Europe. What a joke.

If an alliance that was hostile to the United States got Mexico to join that alliance and then started building military bases and missile installations, the U. S. would go to war immediately. But it calls Russia an aggressor for refusing to allow NATO bases and missiles on its border.

The EU is led by idiots. The U. S. and NATO are not only stupid but completely insane. They insist on treating Russia as a nemesis when it wants nothing but peace and could be a valuable trading partner.

In regards to Israel, it is a nation of murderous psychopaths. The U. S. has lost all credibility by continuing to defend it.

@DonaldDarko. Thanks.

This was a conflict that has a binary solution. Putin could have made a deal and give back some of the land and Zelensky could have gone along with it as well. Instead they both refused to bargain in good faith. Trump did the thing that was in the best interest of the US. He got NATO nations to donate 5% of their GDP to defense and America is selling the weapons to NATO to fight the Russians.
He has begun punishing nations that continue to buy oil from Russia and is imposing other penalties to Russia.
It is not what he wanted. He wanted to end the war and stop the killing, but it was what was best for the country.

In any case, I think the Ukrainian president must regret his decision.

@huangjingwen I expected to US to pullout and Putin would come in the next day and take over the whole country., I was surprised that NATO wanted to step up and provide support.

US and French investment funds own farmland in Ukraine, lot of most fertile farmland on this planet. Israel want to steal land from Palestinians which have to go in one way or another.
Hypocrisy comes in terms of ideology but it doesn't if you know their real interest

[HuangJingwen]

Agree with your point of view

[slatyb]

Because the Ukrainians, like all people everywhere, have a right to self-determination. The Ukrainians have that, the Russians don't. The Ukrainians don't want to be subject to Russian rule, and the NATO countries don't want to encourage Russian aggression. The only thing that Trump cares about is Donald J. Trump.

The Crimean peninsula was originally Russian, not Ukrainian, both historically and ethnically.

It was given to Ukraine in 1954, by a communist dictator Nikita Khrushchev.

On the other hand, Palestine is an old historical land in the Middle East, they have the right to resore their independence, just like Russia has the right to return their indigenous land.

USA leads bad politics, but not as bad as most of the EU countries.

[Opinion Owner]

Yes, I agree.

They don't oppose Russian aggression. On the contrary, as long as Putin promises Trump that he'll fuck Trump up the ass, Trump will do anything Putin wants. And he has. And he'll never stop. As long as Trump knows that he'll have Putin's dick up his ass, Trump is his love slave.

Nope, the just doesn't like being fucked up the ass... like Trump.
