“Ukraine shouldn’t have resumed its war against Donbass in 2018. That was the critical mistake. They didn’t think the Russians would intervene.”
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
The Donbass is 100% part of Ukraine, just like Texas is part of the USA. The Pro-russian minority there secretly helped by little “green men” (russian soldiers without insignias) suddenly decided one day to make an armed violent secession, by taking over all the official municipalities and start killing the Ukrainian representatives there. Kiev of course refused this situation and had all rights to respond with the same violence if necessary in order to take back their land and keep Ukraine whole.
America had a somewhat similar situation in history, when Southern American states decided to secede.
Abraham Lincoln, responded violently from Washington because he didn’t want America to be split up in multiple smaller parts. He wanted to keep America whole. There were also other reasons of course.
I dont think its fair to say that Lincoln and Zelensky were wrong because they did everything they could trying to keep their nations WHOLE!
I’m a conservative. Every fiber of my body is pro-nation and pro respect for borders. I don’t like nation-destroyers and nation-dismantlers. I don’t like Cultural Marxism either, since it’s designed to dismantle American structure via permanent injections of decadence.
By their willingness to keep their respective countries whole, Lincoln and Zelensky are proving they are true conservatives. Should we blame them for that? In my view, no.
Keeping a nation whole is the number one responsibility of any respectable politician.
