“The West started this civil war because the West wants to destroy Russia – plain and simple. The Ukrainian Neonazis set fire to the building in Odesa and burned all the Russian-speaking Ukrainians alive. For the first time in history, an organized massacre of civilians was carried out and even filmed by numerous people and the West said nothing. This has been documented in extraordinary detail and the Ukrainian Neonazis did not even fear any negative consequences in world opinion, because the West is in their corner, and as Merkel admitted, the whole Minsk Agreement was to fool Putin and make the Russians in the Donbas think the West cared about their human rights when it never did.”
This is absolutely a historic time in the world. Maybe the most historic ever. It is sad for the Ukrainian people and sad for us that our own govt set it up in advance, and doesn’t seem to own a set of brakes.
I hope to surive it.
“set it up in advance”
That is a foolish assumption. The known facts and the actual course of events do not support it at all.
My take has always been that the US administration blundered, by projecting weakness and permitting Putin “wins”, that most likely encouraged him in his gamble. This US adninistration is incompetent, that should be a given.
The Ukrainians were not prepared for the attack, in the form it came. If it werent for an unanticipated desperate Ukrainian defense and likewise unanticipated Russian incompetence, Putin would have won his gamble.
