Russia Ukraine war, page-12904

"you sure are fanciful in your explanations. And back to your “if they can I can too”."

There is nothing fanciful in my post. It is a simple statement of fact that after a US sponsored "colour revolution" the government of Georgia began the process to join NATO, a civil war broke out, the Georgian air force bombed a couple of it's own cities and Russian peacekeepers moved in.

Similar with Ukraine. A US funded and sponsored coup, led by Right Sector fascists overthrew an elected government.
In response to a coup, a couple of pro Russian areas broke away and Russia took the Crimea because of the importance of it's Naval bases there.

These are not the actions of an "aggressive, imperialist expansionist" power, but are responses to aggressive and threatening US/NATO actions on Russia's border.

"And back to your “if they can I can too”"

That is not my argument. I am explaining why events are happening, not supporting them .

eg. If I explain the underlying reasons as to why the US imposed sanctions on Iraq, which resulted in 500,000 children starving, does that automatically mean I support the sanctions ? Obviously not.
