What has alleged corruption have to do with the situation in the Ukraine? Does it justify Russia invading its much smaller neighbor and murdering thousands of innocent people and laying waste to entire cities? If it does, Mexico netter start worrying.
Our actions and the actions of the Zelensky government MOST CERTAINLY give Russia more of a valid reason to go into Ukraine than we ever had in Iraq.
Let me tell you why:
We fomented a revolution in 2014 that installed a President illegally and split the country.
Then, our puppet President in Ukraine tried to cut off Russian access to the Black Sea at Crimea. Those in Crimea, overwhelming identify as Russian and wanted be part of Russia. But, we claimed Putin invaded and took over Crimea against the will of the people. After Crimea declared independence, Ukraine built a dam to cut of the water off to Crimea.
Ukraine signed off on the Minsk Agreement, which would have brought peace to the pro-Russian Donbass region. But, Ukraine refused to abide by it and we were perfectly fine with Ukrainian nationals launching an eight-year war that killed 14,000 people.
We promised the Russians no eastward expansion of NATO in the 1990s. We lied. And, then, while arming Ukraine, we hinted that we might let it into NATO.
And, let's not forget the biolabs that, at best, are Wuhan-style labs with dangerous pathogens that endanger all of Eastern Europe.
The "new world order"/neocon foreign policy has aligned Russia with China, resulted in sanctions that are hurting Americans and could, conceivably, start WWIII or nuclear war with Russia.
