No, Putin did not start the war in Ukraine -- Sott.net
"Ukrainian entry into NATO is the brightest of all redlines for the Russian elite (not just Putin). In more than two and a half years of conversations with key Russian players, from knuckle-draggers in the dark recesses of the Kremlin to Putin's...
I mean, Russia invaded. Hard to deny that. Sure, the 2014 coup, and ethnic Russians getting offed by militias, and NATO expansion, etc. etc. etc. means they kinda had it coming.
But borders have to mean something, eh?
This is too simple of a perspective.
So when someone who declares to be your enemy has taken the neighbours place over and is bringing in military and preparing to attack you... no borders no longer have value.
Your right, it is a fairly simple perspective that a military crossing another country's border constitutes an invasion, but then again, that's what "invasion" means. You're saying that the invasion is justified, through various means, to include an attempt at redefining commonly understood terms, and I don't really disagree with any of that except the last part. It's still an invasion, just like if you call a dog's tail a 5th leg, it's still a tail.
I think it is just a modern twisting of reality with the lens of media, had you been watching since 2008 when the west began its modern invasion of ukraine and illegally flipped the government in 2014 and since then began militarizing against its own people and its neighbours.
I think if we want to call it anything, it is a counter attack.
Did Ukraine ever cross Russia's borders first?
Your simplistic childlike mannerism speaks volumes, this is a leftist approach to reality you continue to present.
You want to play a game of cat and mouse but you fail to realize you are ignoring all the inputs.
As I said, when aggression is forming at your border, your border is no longer relevant, why you want to suggest otherwise is irrational.
So, the answer is no, then?
Conversation with you has reached it's limit by the looks of things.
Basic comprehension is one of the requirements I demand from a counterpart in text communication.
You broke the Russia supporter :( It's hard to get anywhere with those people.
