It’s not that black and white., not simply an unprovoked Russian war of conquest.

Fighting has went on since 2014 as the eastern territories are largely Russian speaking and wanted to secede. Ukr shelled Russian rebel towns and villages repeatedly and killed thousands of civilians, as I’m sure the rebels killed Ukrainians.

From 2014

2014

Many other articles exist from Amnesty International a NYC based human rights group. This long simmering conflict was brought to a head by Ukr plans to join NATO—-so Russia invaded.

Was it a right or wrong action? Depends what perspective you look at it from.

To bert and a lot of others....

Those folks aren’t interested in regional facts or history, instead only another war, whether it’s labeled as ‘neocon’ or by some other righteous name.

I am much afraid they’ll get their gleeful wish, as it seems the only way to deal with the looming USA (& world) fiscal crises is to tear it all down with war(s).
