So why did Russia sign the 2015 Minsk Accords along with Ukraine, Germany, and France? Ukraine failed to implement it, which would have given the Donbas more autonomy, but it would still be part of Ukraine.
Merkle has said now that Germany only signed it to buy time for Ukraine to arm itself. The situation today in Ukraine can be traced back to the 2014 coup engineered by the US and EU, which took down the duly elected government of Ukraine and spawned the separatist movement in the Donbas and the unopposed Russian annexation of Crimea.
I provided you with the detailed history of how we got here. This war could have been avoided using diplomacy. Instead, the same Obama-Biden national security team that got us into this mess in 2014 is back in charge. They want revenge for the humiliation they suffered in 2014. We have a compromised President who took bribes from Ukraine.
A diplomatic solution was reached last April, but Boris Johnson flew to Ukraine to kill it. Doubling down on stupid won’t work. Ukraine shares a 1,500 mile border with Russia. The only way to end this proxy conflict is thru negotiations.
