We blockaded and almost destroyed their fleets for putting missiles in Cuba.

It's hubris at it finest that we try to hold the moral high ground here. We are encroaching on their territory using our allies.

Let's not forget at the height of the Cold War the United States had 5 times the nukes that big bad Russia had. 5 times. Maybe, just maybe, WE were the bad guy

Excuse please?  We're we murdering people?  We're we throwing people in goulags??   

Russia is a country that will use military force to achieve territorial ambitions.  Nato isn't.  Ukraine was seeking membership of their own free will.  Putting is slaughtering innocent people to keep them in the Russian sphere of influence.  

It's the use of coercive and imitate force to deprive other people of their God given rights that defines evil.

And that's from our point of view. Our western point of view.

In 1960 we had over 20,000 nukes... Russia had just over 1,000.

If Russia had 20,000 and we had just 1,000 wouldn't you freak the eff out?

We love our moral superiority, but that's not how Russia saw it... they just saw us have 20 times more killing power than them.
