Four articles in a row! Someone’s had an extra cup of coffee. Or Soros is paying more based on the number of articles posted. 🤣

It is more likely that Soros is paying Pro-Putin clowns like you.

The truth you and your fellow neocon freaks don’t want the masses to see:

Put yourself in the shoes of the Russian leaders and people. Here is what they have seen over the last 8 years since the democratically elected President of Ukraine was ousted by a western backed coup:

*While professing a deep commitment to democracy, America and Europe ignored the voters of Ukraine and helped orchestrate the unlawful removal of President Viktor Fedorovych Yanukovych on the 22 of February 2014.
*In the aftermath of that coup, the newly installed Ukrainian government embarked on a war against Russian speaking Ukrainians. Ukraine wantonly killed civilians and the west remained silent.
*Despite repeated warnings from Russia that it would not tolerate western efforts to bring Ukraine into NATO, the United States and Europe conducted annual military exercises with Ukraine and provided military training and assistance.
*Russia’s attempt to negotiate in December 2021 with the United States over the status of Ukraine was rebuffed.
*In response to Russia’s Special Military Operation, the United States and Europe imposed “draconian” sanctions and embarked on a full scale attempt to punish not just the political leaders of Russia, but all Russians, including denouncing Russia’s rich cultural heritage.
*The United States and Europe continue to supply Ukraine with weapons and ammunition that is being used to kill the newly incorporated citizens of Russia that reside in the Donbas, Kherson and Zaporhyzhia.
*Russia’s effort to negotiate a peace with Ukraine was shutdown by the U.K.’s Prime Minister, Boris Johnson. The United Kingdom, Poland and Ukraine announced a trilateral pact to promote Ukraine’s defense and independence in February 2022.
*The Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe and leading U.S. officials are calling for “decolonizing Russia”–i.e., breaking up Russia into geographic regions. Russia’s Nordstream gas pipelines were sabotaged.

Putin earlier expressed a desire to grab more than Ukraine.

In fact the original plan didn’t even include Ukraine or parts of it.

What? Putin was willing to give back the Donbas and Crimea? More seriously, the original plan was to turn Ukraine into a puppet state. Annexation would come later, perhaps after a staged referendum.

Crimea is a done deal, regarding Donbas there were Minsk agreements to keep them as part of Ukraine.
