  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

    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.

      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

      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

        So you’ve moved away from it simply being NATO, to now saying its a vassal moving away & politically & economically, which is exactly what I said. I didn’t say the “west” had nothing to do with it, you’re saying that.

        So how about you make your mind up?

      By vote in who they want you mean that: m.youtube.com/watch?v=LUCCR4jAS3Y?
