Probably because that is not a true statement.

When in the last 70 years has the US had pro Russia, pro USSR, policy?

You realize "forever" and "70 years" are two totally different things, correct?
It's really important the words and phrases one uses.

You realize you are acting like a child?
The US hasn't been around forever, nor has Russia. So when I say "forever" obviously it is an act of rhetoric.

How am I acting like a child....?
Even in the history of both nations, the USA and Russia, in all of its iterations, have NOT always been enemies.
Why is that hard for you to understand? Especially in relation to your broad, sweeping statements, to which you then get defensive and mildly insulting when someone questions.
Say what you mean and mean what you say.
Or is that adage too childish for you?

You are acting like a child because you are picking over silly semantics instead of addressing the obvious reality of the argument.
Can you address the fact that Falcons "proof" is recent and that in the context of the discussion it is no surprise that the US political agenda has historically been anti Russian well before his proof?
Feel free to circlejerk by yourself though.

So out of 105 years the liking has been sparse.
Ahh yes, how honest adults have discussion.

Most of Europe seems to be anti Russian also . 31 countries besides the US are giving or have given military aid to Ukraine .

No, it's a huge difference to make a statement that is blatantly false, as even you now admit was "sparse" based on Brian Jones comment.
So again, I stand my by original statement. What you said was false, and at multiple points, depending on politicians in charge, we HAVE had amicable or better relations with Russia.
I made NO comment in regards to anything Falcon said.

We only liked those two because they were more than willing to play ball in destroying the USSR so long as they got rich as well, but yeah.

The video is my source. You should watch it. It's only about 1 minute long.

I also attack my side if I think they're wrong. People here get very confused by that and think it means I prefer the other side.

Who said it was news to me? Why is it when people don't have an intelligent response to the topic, they post something irrelevant to the topic?
The topic is that we have evidence the US was preparing Ukraine to fight a war for us.

We have evidence that the U.S. was helping Ukraine prepare to defend itself from further Russian invasion and occupation.

The US going to war with Russia and Ukraine going to war with Russia are not the same thing and nowhere in that video are we forcing Ukraine to go to war. So, source or make believe.

That wasn't the point. The point was that the US has been preparing Ukraine for war. This takes some clout away from those who say "This is all Russia's fault, they started it!"

Russia did start it. Ukraine can prepare for whatever they like, Russia doesn't get to determine what Ukraine can or can't do within it's own borders.

That's true , there have been brief moments in history when Russia has enjoyed not wanting to be destroyed by us . They even had their own military alliance called the Warsaw Pact . It's the only military alliance in world history to have invaded itself .

How is preparing for war after literally watching a foreign military power invade and annex your territory, provocative? Russia literally did start it. They initiated the invasion of Crimea and they initiated the more recent invasion of the rest of Ukraine. I'm sorry if you don't care for that reality but there isn't anything I, Lindsay Graham or John McCain can do about that.
