A peaceful neighbor doesn't use military force on its own citizens who had ethnic allegiance with a neighbor.
That neighbor, having appealed in vain to the international community for justice for those citizens, for eight years, since the first in the Maidan, whilst they were being brutalised, then gets blamed for aggression, when they intervene by force?
If you had known this, before the intervention, then you would maybe not have been so quick, to endorse the sending of 50Bn of weapons to those carrying out the ethnic cleansing, to forcibly enlist the help of other, better men, to fight off their massive neighbor, intervening on behalf of those being ethnically cleansed.
In that case, Ukraine would not have now lost a hundred thousand or more men, who mostly didn't want to fight against that much more powerful, more motivated massive neighbor., They were not allowed to leave Ukraine, they had to fight. It could all have been done with not a shot fired, just like crimea.
And what difference would that really have made to us in Europe?
We would have had peace.
It is the US that wants, and has caused war in Europe, even bombing Nord stream 2 to make sure business as usual could not continue between Russia and Europe.
Now they got war, thousands of miles away, the US are still not happy, they want it to escalate, but they ran out of men to be killed in Ukraine.
What's next - nuclear?
Will you still be writing stories to encourage that too?
Actually you already are.
How much death of other people is enough for you?
