You neo-soviet fanboys and other pro-china enthusiasts are not so clever.
You have so much bad conscious about your illegal and botched invasion of Ukraine that you try to find excuses for it every single day! This is getting hilarious.
FIRST you were attacking the “Nazis” in Ukraine/
Even though they are not represented in the Ukrainian Parliament, and knowing Zelensky is Jewish and some within his family have suffered under the german nazis.
THEN, Putin changed his excuse. It was just a question of protecting Pro-Russians in Donbas, etc.
THEN, it was to wage war against the “satanists”, a holy religious war!
THEN, it was a war exclusively against the expansion of
“NATO”, which is a defensive alliance against Russian expansionism.
But when Finland joined NATO, (and soon Sweden), then Putin said that was no problem at all! He said any nations are free to join any organisation they want! So NATO wasn’t a problem anymore...
THEN; Putin found and old french map, and said that the invasion of Ukraine by Russia had to do with old historial frontiers and borders!
THEN...
What will next excuse be?
That Ukraine is the one sending secret UFO’s spying on Russia, and thus must be de-ufozied?
The Kremlin has become a madhouse filled with demented clowns running all over the place. Let’s pray for the Russian people so they can get rid of their deep state nutcases.
“FIRST...THEN...THEN...THEN”
There are many reasons why Putin felt compelled to act.
Unfortunately, the reasons to have acted may not outweigh the reasons to have not acted.
To save around a million ethnic Russians from Ukrainian hostile action may not have been worth the 100,000+ Russian lives now lost.
