sorted by:
Shale Oil + Natural Gas + Transit pipeline (and ensuing passthrough royalties)
Geostrategy, missile defences, shared border, Crimean seaport for RUS navy and closeness of NATO bases
Everything else (including shelling of Donetsk, Russian minority, Biolabs, etc)
That would be my list
Well i think there's a bit more to this. The video creator does not tell the story is Western intervention in Ukraine esp. during 2014. I think they Russia taking Crimea when they did was in response to the actions.
So, if Russia overthrew the Mexican government, set up a bunch of bio labs in Mexico, gave the Mexican government all sorts of support, including financial and military, tried to get Mexico to enter an alliance and threatened the USA to not intervene, what do you think the USA would do with such a threat on their doorstep?
I think you miss the point. Putin has been asking that Ukraine stay neutral for years now, but the west kept pushing.
In my thought experiment, if Russia caused Mexico to be a threat to the USA, the USA would surely invade if not neutralize the threat from Mexico. They would not tolerate a threat from a neighbor.
No, you missed the point and made it only about oil and gas. Like you'd probably assume America's middle east wars were about the same. Try again it's a convenient narrative. Where this documentary is seaped in later renewables, the climate change. It isn't half of its exports either. That's a reliance on it, factors. Not indeed what it produces, and had done prior to a break up.
Not that I care, it had some facts. But it's a naive excuse. Can you figure out why it has been used. Propaganda. Oligarch paints larger corruption. It also refutes the war as theft.
