“The Russian invasion of Ukraine...”
Get with the PROGRAM, dude. You should be writing:
“The Russian UNPROVOKED, FULL-SCALE, invasion of Ukraine...”
You’re slipping.
There are about 25 million Russians living outside of the Russian Federation in what were former parts of the Soviet Union.
These ethnic Russians often hold down prime jobs.
Other people such as Ukrainian speakers want the prime jobs just as black American DEI people want the prime jobs of Caucasian Americans.
There have efforts made to dislodge ethnic Russians from the prime jobs in Ukraine by requiring the use of the Ukrainian language in public life and by KKK-type intimidation of ethnic Russians by swastika wearing groups.
Putin wants to protect these ethnic Russians both as a fellow ethnic Russian and to prevent 25 million ethnic Russian refugees showing up in Moscow and Leningrad.
Putin demanded the anti-ethnic Russian efforts in Ukraine be ended. They were not. Putin launched a Special Miliary Operation for the same reason Eisenhower sent in troops to Little Rock back in 1957 to protect black Arkansas students.
When I want fair, objective reporting I always read the NY Times.
Russian greatness? Really? What period of time does the NYT think Russia was great?
Many years ago, in the 1980s, the New York Times hated President Reagan and slobbered over Gorbachev.

Following Ukraine’s Revolution of Dignity in 2014, pro-Russian, counter-revolutionary unrest erupted in the eastern part of the country. Russia annexed Crimea from Ukraine, while armed separatists seized government buildings and proclaimed the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR) and Luhansk People’s Republic (LPR) as independent states. This sparked the war in Donbas, part of the wider Russo-Ukrainian War. The DPR and LPR are sometimes described as puppet states of Russia during this conflict. They received no international recognition from United Nations member states before 2022.
On 21 February 2022, Russia recognised the DPR and LPR as sovereign states. Three days later, Russia launched a full-scale invasion of Ukraine, partially under the pretext of protecting the republics. Russian forces captured more of Donetsk Oblast, which became part of the DPR. In September 2022, Russia proclaimed the annexation of the DPR and other occupied territories, following illegitimate referendums. The United Nations General Assembly passed a resolution calling on countries not to recognise what it called the “attempted illegal annexation” and demanded that Russia “immediately, completely and unconditionally withdraw”.

The independent states of DPR and LPR existed for about as long as the independent from Great Britain states of Virginia and Massachusetts did from 1776 to 1783.
The Zelensky acolytes are getting more unhinged by the day. Too bad for them that the front keeps moving west.

the Maidan Uprising, was a wave of demonstrations and civil unrest in Ukraine, which began on 21 November 2013 with large protests in Maidan Nezalezhnosti (Independence Square) in Kyiv. The protests were sparked by President Viktor Yanukovych’s sudden decision not to sign the European Union–Ukraine Association Agreement, instead choosing closer ties to Russia and the Eurasian Economic Union. Ukraine’s parliament had overwhelmingly approved of finalizing the Agreement with the EU, but Russia had put pressure on Ukraine to reject it.
During the uprising, Independence Square (Maidan) in Kyiv was a huge protest camp occupied by thousands of protesters and protected by makeshift barricades. It had kitchens, first aid posts and broadcasting facilities, as well as stages for speeches, lectures, debates and performances. It was guarded by ‘Maidan Self-Defense’ units made up of volunteers in improvised uniform and helmets, carrying shields and armed with sticks, stones and petrol bombs.
The uprising climaxed on 18–20 February, when fierce fighting in Kyiv between Maidan activists and police resulted in the deaths of almost 100 protesters and 13 police.
As a result, Yanukovych and the parliamentary opposition signed an agreement on 21 February to bring about an interim unity government, constitutional reforms and early elections. Police abandoned central Kyiv that afternoon, then Yanukovych and other government ministers fled the city that evening. The next day, parliament removed Yanukovych from office and installed an interim government.

Communists tainted Russian Greatness.
Russia’s position: The current sanctions against Russia are illegal under international law (not passed by the UN Security Council). Russia will be paid reparations for the implementation of those illegal sanctions. Putin will get what he wants through a peace agreement or through a war. He has stated his requirements and will continue to take the land that Russia claims until an agreeable peace agreement is signed that gives him the land he claims. Putin looks upon this as the only way to ensure Russian survival.
The only way Putin stops by being defeated on the battlefield and removed from those areas by force.
When Putin was elected in Russia, how many times?, he reversed the trend where the West was buying up Russia like they succeeded in doing in Ukraine. Ukraine has sold it’s economically viable resources to Arm itself and enrich the globalists.
Let’s try this article on Obama or Biden with the same talking points.
Clinton, Bill in Bosina/Serbia....
Clinton, Hillary killed Kaddafi in Lybia....
Iraq, Afghanistan and dozen interventions by the US yet Russia is the boogie man, and the US is being the Great Satan under Obama/Biden.

Everything that has happened in Ukraine for 10 years has been result of our meddling in that country -- we fomented an illegal coup that setoff a civil war. NATO leaders thwarted peace at every turn, including the Minsk Accords, which would have ended the civil war and prevented the current war.
Duda and another moron, Kaja Kallas, just admitted what the 2019 RAND report revealed -- that goal was to break Russia up into six different countries so the West could vulture its resources.
This insanity has us closer to WW III and nuclear war than we ever were during the Cold War.
If you want to fight the Russia, get to the frontlines.
The Russians knew that this proxy war is a war for Russia's survival.
All you and liars at the New York Times have got are lies and false narratives.
Russia did not have to be our enemy. We made the Russians our enemy. Most of the world knows. Even a huge percentage of US and Western citizens know it. And, we'd sick of it and don't want a world or nuclear war.
It's past time to end the war in Ukraine. Ukraine isn't getting an inch of territory back nor will Russia accept it being part of NATO or military threat.
Another dimwit willing to fight to the last Ukrainian.
So it's all about Trump?
