@imme122 жыл бұрын
For people to understand why all this is happening they need to know few facts, purposely omitted by the West, US and the mass media: 1) Ukraine was created as a country during the establishment of USSR and it was Lenin’s idea in the 20s of the last century, to add Donbass (historically very Russian territory) to the Soviet Republic of Ukraine; 2) Crimea was “gifted” to the Soviet Republic of Ukraine in 1954 by the communist leader Hrustchov and cut from the Soviet Republic of Russia. Back then this really didn’t matter so much as it was all one big country - USSR; 3) After the collapse of USSR many things were not thought trough by the new leaders and this included the status of Crimea which has always been a special status within Ukraine; 4) The coup in Kiev in 2014 was supported by US. The US Administration representatives, the US Embassy actively participated in the protests, giving speeches to the protesters and cookies :-); 5) The president than Yanukovich signed agreement with the opposition, predominantly represented by the ultra right neo Nazis. US was there as monitor :) Yanukovich agreed to step down and have new elections. The bloody protests started a day after this. 6) Yanukovich is portrayed in the West as pro-Russian or Russian installed puppet. He was actually very pro-EU and the West but wanted to keep good relations with Russia too. The whole issue started when he put on hold negotiations with IMF and European countries. IMF was insisting on terms and conditions that will economically hurt the ordinary people in Ukraine and make lots of prices skyrocketing. IMF was insisting Ukraine raises the price of the gas received from Russia to add to other thing - the list is not short; 6) The self proclaimed new government who staged the armed coup started tough measures against all Russian speaking citizens in Ukraine and staged massive anti-Russian policy; 7) In Odessa 40 Russian speaking Ukrainians were burnt by the ultra right fans by locking them in the Trade Building and setting fire with Molotov cocktails and shooting at them when they were trying to escape from the building. There is no real justice till date and the killers are enjoying their freedom; 8) People of Crimea knew they are next and held a referendum to get out of Ukraine; 9) Many people in Donbas were protesting peacefully against the self-proclaimed government of the ultra right neo Nazis and these people wanted new elections, saying they didn’t vote for this government. That was all they were asking for - new elections. 10)The new Kiev regime sent the military to Donbas and that’s how the situation escalated. Lugansk and Donetsk announced their independence as they don’t want to be part of a country that sends its military against its own people. 10)Till date the Ukrainian army has not really complied with the cease fire agreed with the Minsk agreement and for 7-8 years Kiev continued to shell Donbas region; 11)The Kiev regime put an economic blockade on Donbas in terms of supplies, pensions and salaries not paid to people, constant stoping of water and electricity as punishment… It was only Russia that sent humanitarian aid to Donbas. Nobody else cared about the millions of people there; 12)All the West has been telling people is that Russia must comply with the Minsk agreement BUT they didn’t really explain what the agreement is about. Russia’s part is the very last step once all other steps are achieved and complied with by Kiev. Only than Russia is required to close the boarder and give the Ukrainian government full control of that border. 13)Kiev did nothing. They did not engage in negotiations with Donbas as agreed in Minsk. Zelensky got elected promising peace in Donbas and deescalation of the conflict and did exactly the opposite. Nobody in the West has shown the people of Donbas. We see only the Ukrainians on the other side of the line and the so called separatists are shown as the aggressors! 14)Kiev regime did nothing to deescalate the situation. Few days ago they started shelling Donbas again and basically created what is happening now so they can blame Russia for intervening and breaching Ukraine’s sovereignty; 15) Last but not least, majority of the people in the West watch and listen to information pushed by the MSM which is part of the Trusted News Initiative of BBC to fight “propaganda”, meaning they show their “news” freely and block all alternative opinions through the censorship they impose. They were so afraid of the Russian “propaganda” being more convincing in competition to their lies and pseudo facts that they had to come up with the TNI pact. The people in the West and US were hugely misled and never given unbiased view and the full facts. Yes, Russia as a big power has its regional geopolitical interests. Same as US, UK and the big countries in EU. However, let’s just recall who staged all major wars in the last decades: Yugoslavia, Afghanistan, Iraq, Libya, Syria… US and NATO!!! The aggressors who call Russia the aggressor! The West knew what Russia will do if Kiev’s regime don’t comply with the Minsk agreement and they purposely supported Zelensky in pushing the agenda of conflict escalation, though in interviews they all talked empty talks about deescalation.

Hitler/Putin are already in power and are initiating wars. In 1938 the West thought that by giving Hitler parts of Czechoslovakia (which he, like Putin, claimed basically belonged to Germany) it can prevent war. Instead, it only instilled in Hitler the notion that he can do whatever he wants to smaller/weaker nations and no one would bother stopping him. Another German leader, Otto von Bismarck, said that "politics is the art of the possible". With respect to the current state around Ukraine, the question isn't whether lives would be put at risk, but whose lives, how many lives and for how long.

Russia applied to join NATO four times, but NATO was only willing to treat Russia as an enemy. Later, Russia also protested against NATO's eastward expansion, but NATO expanded four times, and the deployment site of nuclear weapons was getting closer and closer to Russia. In my opinion, Russia is forced to attack hostile Ukraine. In the eyes of the Chinese, NATO led by the United States is the fuse of the war.

@@ns4235 I would like to share another view from China. We still have some doubts about whether Russia's attack is counted as an "invasion", not only because of the relationship between Russia and NATO, but also considering the serious crimes committed by Ukraine's Neo Nazi organization against the people in Donbas since 2014. They worship Ukrainian Nazis, wear Nazi symbols, maim Ukrainian Russians and Russian speakers for a long time, bomb, bury and divide civilians alive, rape and kill women and children. Putin's claim to disarm Ukraine and punish the Nazis can be seen from the current operational trend of the Russian army. The attack on Kiev is to step down the Ukrainian government, the attack on Kharkov is to destroy the Ukrainian military industry, and the attack on Mariupol is to eliminate the headquarters of the Neo Nazi armed forces. In addition, the Russian army basically does not disturb civilians, Even if Zelensky encouraged civilians to attack the Russian army, the Russian army showed more restraint. Judging from the current behavior of the Russian army, we really feel that this military action can not be arbitrarily characterized as "invasion".

Yeah, but I think their analysis of why Putin invaded Russia now is wrong. IMO Putin isn't acting for his right to self-defense. He's acting for his "right" to invade another country. Putin said himself that Russia is no match for NATO. So whether NATO had Ukraine or not was almost irrelevant, given that the real defense Russia has is nuclear missiles. But Putin wants Little Russia back, he started with Crimea, declared Donetsk and Luhansk "independent", meaning Russian, and next is Kiev. He acted now before Ukraine joined NATO, because it was now or never. The analogy to the Cuban missile crisis is incorrect, in my opinion. Oh, and in 2011, a huge deposit of gas was discovered in Ukraine. I guess it's not only the US who invades other countries for oil...

Ukraine is asking for the help of NATO and they are completely in their right too. Eastern Ukrain has been in its own little Civil War thanks to Russia destabilizing it. Not to mention, Russia has a long history of bullying their neighbors in the 21st century. "Lethal aid" support for Ukraine is a legitimate response to Ukraine's call for help from Russia aggressiveness. Edit: I incorrectly put "NATO troop movements into Ukraine", which is false. NATO has placed trooped into Eastern Europe, but not Ukraine itself
