Geopolitics

The idea that it is deeply immoral for larger countries to bully and invade smaller countries is not just a western value, it is a human value.

You'd think this would be non-controversial. Nothing triggers me more than brainwashed by Russian propaganda Westerners who think they know the situation better than me and side with Russia because idiots like Tucker told them the "truth" about Donbas.

TLDR. Russia invaded Ukraine in 2014 with heavily armed special ops who started a violent uprising in Donbas (look up Girkin). 

So called "grass roots resistance" was defeated by the Ukrainian army. Russia sent its regular army units without insignia denying they were involved & annexed Donbas & Crimea.

The Minsk accords were signed on very bad terms for Ukraine. Russia pretended to be a neutral party while being the aggressor. Russia proceeded to constantly violate the agreement & blame Ukraine. 

Prosperous, stable Ukraine was a threat to Putin's regime, not NATO expansion or the so called Nazis. Russians might realize they could live much better because there are so many family ties between Russia & Ukraine so the word would spread.

Lastly, Putin was lead to believe (by his intelligence and the lackeys around him) that taking all of Ukraine would be as easy as Crimea. That's why the so called SMO which was supposed to last a few days. 

That was the original plan. Don't let people with amnesia tell you otherwise. 

It was a grave miscalculation & here we are.

The Russian propaganda claims that they have not invaded anyone & are defending their homeland. They had no other choice. Completely preposterous & yet, somehow, many people in the West have bought into this obvious nonsense. Russia is an invader by definition since they're fighting on foreign territory. Check Google Maps, if you're confused where the Russian border is.

Don't believe me? Look up every commander of the so called "grass roots resistance" in Donbas. None were local to the area. All came from Russia. Many were career criminals recruited by the FSB. The worst people on Earth. Lawless scum. Many ended up murdering each other in local turf battles.
