So you’re just going to ignore the fact that this all started as a simultaneous result of the Five-Eyed Empire blatantly flouting the Minsk Accords multiple times, and then couping the last Ukranian president to install a neonazi regime; all to the end of letting NATO encircle and exterminate Russia. You’re literally worthless to discuss geopolitics with if you just approach from a settler’s tabula rasa.
Ah yes. Those mystical neonazis. Flouting you say! Oh my. Not flouting! Definitely a reason to invade and level towns. Just, you know, flouting with cruise missles. Te-he. Totally.
Russia can try all the gaslighting they want, but the true fact is that Russia invaded. Not NATO. Not Ukraine. They don’t like the war. They can leave.
Plus, only reason NATO is expanding is because Russia is a shitty neighbor. They should try being less a shitty dictatorship. Oh and not invade other countries. Pretty easy…
