That’s true, but you hardly blame any one else than the Russian government for this three-day special military operation that’s now in its third year. Allowing Ukraine to defend itself is just the right thing to do.

I don't disagree that Nations should be able to defend themselves. I have major issues with the US trying to dominate the world through violence and the weaponization of the Federal Reserve Note. This whole war, in my opinion is directly related to NATO expansion (which the US promised Gorbachev wouldn't happen) How would the US react with Russian missiles on its border? If the Cuban missile crisis is any indication, rather harshly. Ukraine is being lead by an extremely corrupt Western puppet. I simply don't believe Russia would have made a move against Ukraine if it had remained neutral. The 3 day operation was meant as a warning and a swift means to negotiations, not an attempted occupation. Foolish on Putin's part cause it cost a lot of Russian lives.

This is just Russian propaganda. Ukraine weren’t even close to being considered for NATO membership when the special military intervention was announced. They’ve had a border conflict with Russia since 2014 and therefore they could not join NATO.

Ukraine is defending itself. Zelenskyy said “I need bullets, not a ride” and the west simply helped Ukraine with what they actually needed. It’s completely reasonable that Ukraine can use western aid to strike military targets within Russia that threatens their sovereign territory.

I don't think it's Russian propaganda. We're not going to agree, but that's okay. I'm not quite ready for nuclear war. Let's hope however this turns out, we're around to discuss it. ✌️
