Also, why list it in dollars instead of SEK or Euros?

It’s €1,17bn or 13,5bn SEK.

    Russia has no right to decide who Ukraine allies itself with, and Russia has been a belligerent wrecking ball to all of its neighbours that aren’t either in NATO or effectively a Russian puppet. It did the same thing to Moldova before Ukraine, and it did the same thing to Georgia before Moldova. You know which countries Russia hasn’t touched? All of the ones that joined NATO.

    And don’t spout that bullshit line about NATO bordering Russia. NATO has bordered Russia for over 20 years without Ukraine. 25 years if you include Kaliningrad.

        Right, cool, so are you going to get equally indignant if countries try to defend themselves against that?

            What kind of nonsense reply is this? I’ve addressed everything you’ve said clearly and directly. What “truth” do you think I haven’t responded to?

                Then I refer you back to what I said the first time. Russia has no right to a sphere of influence. No country does. Do you disagree wth that?

                    “The Soviet Union has invested loads of money into Cuba, which is right next to America. Understand that America has a right to national security”

                    You’re straight up just advocating for imperialism because it’s being done by the team you like
