The ‘Ukraine banned Russian and that’s why Russia invaded’ line is straight Kremlin copium from 2014. The law was never even signed, and the war started because Moscow sent in the little green men, not because of language classes.
This is rubbish. They couldn’t join NATO, russia had invaded them, as well as a bunch of other countries I might add. This special operation was to stop them joining the EU.
A failing dictatorship cannot have a neighbour have free elections, vote in who they want, & be economically prosperous. Thats the beginning, middle & end of it.
All this bs about nato this & nato that is a lie & you’re either a troll, delusional, or both.
Dictatorship needs an enemy to hide its failed corruption.
To think this conflict is completely insular and that geo-politics and the worlds most powerful(and implicitly anti-Russian) military alliance didn’t, doesn’t and will not play a major hand in the run-up, waging and aftermath of the war is either incredibly naïve, wilfully ignorant, delusional or the product of a propagandised mind to whom ‘vibes’ are more important that objective fact and reality

But post the Banderite and US Supported(theguardian.com/…/john-mccain-ukraine-protests-su…)coup government banned Russian in the school system(1/3 of Ukrainian’s are Russian first language speakers) and start streets renaming after Nazi collaborators like Stepan Bandera) and Azov and the other far-right group were killing civilians in the Donbass prior to Russia’s ‘little green men’ entering Ukraine

The pro-western proxies in Ukraine were vying to join NATO long before the Russian invasion as early as the 90s
I agree with you on many points if not every detail, hence why the US had to overthrow the democratically elected Yanukovych government theguardian.com/…/john-mccain-ukraine-protests-su… www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUCCR4jAS3Y
