    It would have been more convincing had Ukraine not spent 2014-2022 pounding cities in the eastern Donbass.

        Ignore Ukraine fighting Russians who invaded their country? I thought that was the point?

        Are you trying to stand by the bald faced lie that ‘its just locals who disagree’ over booting out the extremely corrupt Yanukovych? Just locals with Russian military tech shooting down MH17.

        I’m sure the oil and gas discoveries prior to the 2014 invasion had nothing to do with it.

        What really blows my mind is the tankies ignoring Ukraine trying to nationalize the energy sector ahead of Russia’s invasion.

          The fact the nazis were shelling civilians in the Donbas.

          Yeah they overthrew the democratically elected leader, so it’s not a democracy.

          It’s not as simple as Russia bad guy invaded good guy for no reason.
