Russia is not an Aggressor, and Ukraine is not a Victim
American Thinker ^ | March 31, 2024 | Alexander G. Tarkovsky

Posted on 03/31/2024 6:13:30 PM PDT by Veto!

It is widely accepted that the Ukrainian crisis erupted into a military conflict on February 24, 2022, with the Russian invasion of Ukraine. Contrary to conventional wisdom, the seeds of the hostilities were planted about thirty years earlier by President Clinton and, later, by George W. Bush, both of whom recklessly pushed for NATO’s eastward expansion.

"Russia, the career-criminal of countries"

Can I turn that into a tagline?

“Lets start with the title: ...”
That’s no argument at all. The author presented facts in support of his position, let’s hear yours.
You do not get to determine ‘truth’ just shooting off your mouth.

Those killed in the Donbas were because of the Russians.

Starting in 2012, your boi putin sent FSB and Spetsnaz to prop up his butt boi puppet Yanukovych. These FSB and Spetsnaz assets served with the Berkut secret police, and when Yanukovych fled to Russia in 2014, the Burkut went into the Donbas to whip up anti-Ukrainian sentiment.

Also in 2014, your boi Putin sent neo-nazi groups such as the Russian Imperial Movement/Russian Imperial Legion, and Rusich Group into eastern Ukraine to further whip up anti-Ukrainian sentiment. One of the founding members of Rusich Group Alexey Milchakov had a particular fondness of carving swastikas into dead Ukrainians in the Donbas region.

“People make the same analogy about Japan attacking Pearl Harbor.”

Maybe, but could there be an element to that analogy?
after all FDR did significantly cut off Japan’s oil supplies and intentionally provocatively sent the US Navy into her territorial waters.

Those killed in the Donbas were ethnic Russians. Yanukovych was legitimately elected. Ukrainian Neo-Nazis are Banderites who celebrate their national hero, Stepan Bandera (1909-1959).

You’ve obviously have never been to the Donbas and you have no idea what you are writing about. Thousands of Russian speakers from the Donbas are fighting the Russians. They are the ones who take the motto on your about page seriously. For them Victory or Death is serious business.

The fake separatist movement was a Moscow operation from the get-go.

So you claim to be a Virginian but you buy into all Moscow propaganda, support the spread of the hammer and sickle flag, support renaming Ukraine’s Liberty Plaza as Lenin Plaza, support the Neo-Soviet movement, support Russian bragging about its ability to “win” a nuclear war against America, support the Speaker of the Russian Duma’s speech on the importance of “reversing the illegal transfer of Alaska”, support Russian land grabs from the Republic of Georgia and Ukraine, and you support Russia’s murder of Ukrainian children each and every day. And you take these issues so seriously that all you can do is post illiterate memes saying we freedom lovers are “Nuland fans”. You are sick.

Careful, Zelensky might become so despondent he won’t remember his bank account password.

He’ll just call Gramps.

Ukraine is an original constituent founding member of the Soviet Union, just like Russia. I support neither of these sh*t-hole countries and neither should you. We certainly shouldn’t be sending Ukraine Billions of dollars, but evidently you think we should.

Sad
