KhrushchevYanukovychYou have to recognise that the root cause of this war
was the Ukraine's intention to join NATO aided and abetted
by both NATO & the USA. If you dont recognise that, then why did
Russia not invade earlier (pre 2014) while the UAF was much weaker.?
Also the pre-2014 democratically elected Yanukovych deferred submitting
application to join NATO/EU but was debunked by a populist coup by
for hindering the Ukraines prospect of joining both.
blind Freddy could see that a NATO Ukraine including the Crimea
never work for Russia given that Russia's Mediterranean fleet had
been based there for centuries before Khrushchev gifted the Crimea to
the Ukraine in the early 1950s.
The RW Populists deny these historical facts and opt for the childish
"Putin wants to steal land" gig ..."& I hate Putin" .
There was always going to be problems in Donbas with ethnic Russian
vs ethnic Ukrainians just as there is ethnic/religious tensions in other
parts of the world.
So in summary, to all you simplistic "binaries" (you are with me or against me gig"
I'm simply not with you because the root cause of this war is a lot more complex
than "Putin wants to steal land" stupid gig
