I think we're done here.
Russia didn't invade Ukraine. The west supported a (violent) revolution that overthrew a democratically elected goverment in Kiev. Maybe you or the west didn't like that government, but it was the democratically elected goverment. I guess the word democracy has only meaning when you like the results.
I support the Ukrainians determining their own governance in whatever way they see fit. Your hypocrisy on this is pretty clear considering you said that the majority of people in Crimea wanting to be part of Russia was a justification for Russian invasion but apparently believe a majority of Ukrainians wanting to overthrow their government is not justification for a revolution.
I have a strong suspicion you have been reading a lot of propaganda.
The resulting civil war is just as much our responsibility as Russia's. If you can't see that, well, there's not much I can do. I'm not a Russia-lover, I don't like Putin. I got no personal stakes here. But I've watched the news, read background stories, kept up. And I don't follow the popular view in our own media.
Of course it's not our fault as much as Russia's. Russia invaded Ukraine, stole their land, and then not only armed groups in the east to perpetuate the civil war but directly intervened with their own troops.
If you're going to look at an issue it's important to put your own personal bias aside. Even if everything you claim about the west is true Russia is still VASTLY more to blame for the current circumstances.
And again, the Krim joining Russia is something that is supported by the vast majority of citizens in the Krim. As made obvious by the referendum that they held. Maybe you don't like referenda, unless the outcome is what you want. That seems to be the opinion of the western establishement. (My own government whent straight against two referenda we held here). It hardly matters if Russians had entered the Krim before the referendum. The Krim got what its people wanted.
As I said above it's interesting to see you view popular support as a justification for invasion but not for revolution. How convenient.
Oh and I suggest reading up on the Crimean 'referendum'. It was a total sham. Not only was it conducted under occupation, it literally didn't even have a choice for maintaining the status quo. Funny that you would say that people only like referenda if they get the outcome they want while defending a referendum that didn't even have that as an option. You've been duped.
Talking about Russia invading neighbors is pure bullshit.
Except of course it's happened repeatedly in the last decade. I have no idea why you would want to act as an apologist for Russian aggression.
And don't get me started on Syria. That's an even bigger false story set up by our own media to mask the fact that we in fact started a civil war there that cost 400k people their lives.
Trust me, with the amount of conspiracy theory batshittery and lack of even basic knowledge you've shown about Ukraine I have no desire to hear whatever Russian propaganda you're doing to let loose about Syria.
