Well Ukraine certainly made sure that Russia had PLENTY of reasons to invade, other than oil.
***Looking at it from your propagandistic perspective, yeah I can see why you would say that. I’m surprised you haven’t bought a few Brooklyn Bridges in your past.
...and just think, if Ukraine had simply called off their Nazis in Donbass, allowed Russian to be an official language there, not tried to join NATO, and not tried to join the EU,
***All just a bunch of excuses. Weak excuses at that. Not nearly enough reason to invade a country. But hey, let’s use those same kinds of excuses to invade Mexico and set up a 100 mile border protection zone to keep out the Narco state and their drugs and their constant flow of illegal colonizers. Sounds good to me.
then many here who believe Ukraine goaded Russia to attack them wouldn’t have anything to stand on...
***I am amazed that you actually believe this crap.
and we just might then think that oil was the only factor.
***When Zelly proposes that Russia keep the political control of those regions but none of the oil & gas rights, ya honestly think Vlad is gonna go for that? Bullshiite.
You can choose to disregard the history there if you want, that’s your issue.
But half of the world agrees with me, which is why the sanctions have failed. Would those countries be supporting Russia if the history wasn’t there - quite possibly not.
