You haven't backward. It was us and European countries that fomented a revolution in Ukraine that set off an eight-year civil war. Did you really think those of Russian ethnicity in eastern Ukraine were going to tolerate being persecuted by Ukrainian nationalists and neo-Nazis? Did you think Russia was going to sit back and let radicals that took over expel them from a naval base in Crimea they had possessed since 1783?
Russia did everything it could to avoid the present. It came to us with their security concerns in December. All they wanted was a guarantee of Ukrainian neutrality/that it wouldn't join NATO and Minsk Agreement, which Ukraine signed off on, to be implemented. It would have given state-like autonomy to Donetsk and Lugansk but kept both in Ukraine. There is absolutely nothing unreasonable about those requests.
The Biden regime and NATO did everything it could to assure this war happened. It instructed Ukraine to go on the offensive in Donbass and try to exterminate the ethnic Russian population. Kamala Harris teased NATO membership for Ukraine.
This claim of Russian aggression is nonsense. It was our aggression toward Russia under Obama and Biden with full support of the neocons that is the root cause of the war.
And, what has it accomplished? It is unnecessarily made Russia our enemy and pushed it into an alliance with China.
“This claim of Russian aggression is nonsense.”
So there are no Russian troops in Ukraine?
