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...
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?
