Again, cut and paste what you consider to be "propaganda".
I have learned in the Ukrainian war to take anything said by the Russians or the US/NATO with a grain of salt, both have been caught lying on numerous occasions. There is very little legitimate news coverage of this war which is very strange and leads only to more questions.
I detest Ivan, but I detest the behavior of the warmongers in the US government just as much. They are clueless on how to fight and win a war, they just know they want a war somewhere, some how regardless of the cost to the country. The west and Ivan both bear responsibility for this war. We need to stay out of it as I can see no strategic advantage in the Ukraine for the USA. We are trying to fight the wrong war in the wrong place at the wrong time. Our enemy is China and Iran and we are ignoring and emboldening them with our never ending screw ups in the Ukraine and around the world.
Actually UKR has lower inflation than Russia. Plus a stronger economy. Look it up.
Ukraine would have no economy or government without billions from western nations. Look it up
That may be. but to pay for the war, your beloved Russia will be selling the Far East to China soon.
“They had valid, freely-signed peace treaties with Georgia and Ukraine, promising to respect their orders ... yet Russia invaded both anyways”
They chose NOT to behave. Hopefully they learned their lessons.
