This was the Russia opinion from the beginning. This war was never merely about NATO expansion or a few disputed provinces. It was about the existence of Ukraine as an independent country. Russian nationalists have never accepted this fact. All the other reasons give for the war are just excuses to hide the real objective: the complete subjugation of Ukraine.
The west was going to destroy Putin and Russia but that too has failed. Their hate was spewed against Russians and now the Russians are prepared to destroy the NAZI Western Regime in Ukraine. The west was never going to allow Russia to end the war, but somewhere along the way Russia defeated the Woke Fuc*er’s in NATO and US general staff’s as a result here from the Obama idealogical purges. That woke college officer corps got beat by guys who have to wash their clothes by hand because they need washing maching chips to fight the war, and they use shovels because they don’t have ammunition. We have gone full circle. The Hate unleashed against the Russians is an effective motivator for the Russian people who are done with the West, after they finish the NATO humiliations.
