I agree with you. It’s so odd the way people immediately choose sides in a conflict with the simplistic “bad guy vs good guy” meme. In some cases, there are no good guys. And in all cases of war, the first casualty is the truth. All sides propagandize to influence world opinion.

I do know that the Ukrainian government is blasting civilians without mercy. The people in eastern Ukraine voted to side with Russia. Since the west (always pretending to worship democracy) didn’t like the results, they claimed it was illegitimate. People don’t care about the truth. They have their minds made up and refuse to believe anything that doesn’t fit their view.

The people in eastern Ukraine voted to side with Russia. Wait a minute. The people in E. Ukraine were not allowed to vote by the Russian separatists.

The EU is desperate to bring Ukraine into their fold for economic reasons, but the EU and their sponsors / creators might as well be the Fourth Reich, based on who they’ve supported in the past. The ethnic Russians understand this and are wise to reject it. They’re too smart (and experienced) to fall for the dumbed-down propaganda coming from the globalist EU puppet masters, trying to seduce them to join the dark side.

Are you pining for Texas? You may be, after the people there, recently moved in from across the Rio Grande, vote to side with Mexico. Then what?

The Russians living in the Ukraine who wish to be part of Russia simply need to move BACK to Russia, not carve out a piece of the historic Ukraine to give to the Russians.
