Agreed on both counts.

Russia would contend that it is similar to the US liberating Kuwait after it was invaded by Iraq. Ukrain has been controlled the fascism and corruption for decades....

And unfortunately, the action that is coming is going to be another civil war - unless there is divine intervention or a natural disaster which destroys enough people and their toys to make people focus on just surviving.

but isnt that a Ukranian thing? Why involving russia invading

if the people of Donbass want independence, they should have it

Alternative evidence: A majority of the Donbass people wanted independence from Ukraine, and Ukraine was using military force to suppress the Donbass people.
Shouldn't the people of the Donbass region be able to have independence from Ukraine (and to ally with Russia) when the majority there wishes it ?
Isn't it wrong for Ukraine to use military forces against the Donbass people?
Q: What else is there to know?
A: Knowing the truth is required before making a rational judgement.

If the people in the country, Ukraine, want to be free and not be a colony of Russia, shouldnt they be allowed that? If Putin wants to maintain them as a colony again after years of independence from Russia, and uses invasion to get that, isnt that wrong?

What else is there to know about Ukraine and Russia really. Russia invaded Ukraine and the ukranians are fighting to maintain their independence.

Russia is worried about Ukraine will join NATO, but NATO has repeatedly denied their membership . So whats the problem.

Ukraine had nucear weapons and gave them up in trade for security guarantees from US AND RUSSIA. Russia, through invasion, doesnt seem to remember that.

Its a pretty clear cut case to me.

Zelenskyy seemed creey to me from the start, reminded me of Hunter. The more I delved, the more I saw it was like a movie script.He is playing a part, put in office with the help and fincance of Soros, who hates the US and Russia. Obama helped as well. I knew Biden was way too intreested, and Hunter's laptop proved he had brokered deals in those Ukraine bioweapons labs, 48 of them, with a militray contractor in Calif. Biden had never given up his link to Ukraine. I had been emailing a woman in Ukraine before this came down, and all was not as well as we wre led to believe. Poeople were not rich, except for the 8 or so billionaires there, their life was not that much better than during Russia, she told me. We know Putin knew of the bioweapons lbs and about Soros, whom he had thrown out of Russia. China wanted access to examine those labs, but was denied, abviously for good reason. It all goes back to UN call for depopulation of 80 countries, vaccine bioweapons as part of the method. more labs, mor agents to set loose. Even DARPA was becoming unglued over Fauci's recklessness, and released a coumument covering their on reaar. Biden, Soros, Zellenskyy , and more want UN one world goverhment with billions fewer people, with UN at the helm. No one seems to read Agenda 21, or knowt the plans in the US for more shot mandates and famine via confiscation of farmland, using CO1 as a bogus excuse.

In 1960, the Soviet Union was strong, and, imo, a genuine threat to freedom and the US opposed that (and supported the freedom of the American people to a large extent.)
Today the situation is reversed. Russia is not strong, and the threat to freedom is the US government, imo.
I think that if JFK was president today, Russia would not have felt the need to act militarily against Ukraine.
I was not a supporter of JFK at the time, but in retrospect I think the administrations in the past 30 years have been much much worse.
The current administration and the GOP neocons are directly at fault for Russia's reaction in Ukraine.
JFK could (imo, would) have prevented the situation from ever occurring (unless he was assassinated.)
As for the presidents since JFK, only Trump acted in a way that might have averted the current Ukrainian situation.

How about the Cuban missile crisis. NIMBY. Fortunately nothing happened. The Russian ships were in gun range of our Navy destroyers. Who knows what went on behind closed doors but the crises was averted. Perhaps it was the perception of US strength.

Good article!

Totally do not understand why the US would prosecute Assange, unless it is for child molestation or something. Trump should have pardoned him.

If a foreign power was building labs developing bio-weapons in the Bahamas, and no amount of diplomacy had stopped the construction of more than a dozen such labs, would the US stand by and allow it? imo, the US would have been the 'aggressor' and invaded Bahamas far sooner in the time line than Putin did.
Q: What country has been the aggressor in many countries in the past 30 years, using the CIA/NSA to stage color revolutions?
A: the United States

Aggression is rarely the answer, but on occasion it is the only effective action to tyranny and corruption.

An enemy of the corrupt federal government could very well be a friend, but must be judged on verifiable actions, not propaganda.

Having an assorted past, one thought came to mind upon reading the first Ukraine story some time ago; The enemy of your enemy is not necessarily your friend. Any sort of involvement at all may result in an invitation to WWIII.

I've started my own rebellion. The Governor said we don't have to wear masks, unless a place we are visiting posts a notice to wear one. I walk in without a mask and as yet, only one place, my military pharmacy, points out the masks and says 'please'. My doctor's office front desk glares at me, so I put one on. As soon as the doctor walks in the room (without a mask) he says, 'take that mask off.' Go figure! N

My daughter in law and I had this conversation today. She asked me WHEN and I told her I didn't have that answer but I didn't think it was going to be pretty.

We've heard lies repeatedly and allowed government to commit us to wars that did not threaten us again and again.
Every war (police action, defense of democracy, etc) that the US has fought since 1945 has this in common.

both side simply hate each other
and cannot get past that hate

part of why i want real evidence of who did what
i refuse to accept at face value pictures and what people say on and off camera

we've all heard way too many lies

Isn't it often said that the first casualty of war is the truth? I recently saw footage of Ukrainian soldiers torturing Russian soldiers to death. Shooting them in the legs and groin. Kicking their bagged heads until they die. Shooting three of them in the kidneys as soon as they step out of a van in handcuffs. The fact that this clip flies in the face of the planned narrative here that the Russians are evil and the Ukrainians are good and that I had to dig the clip deep out of youtube (and I bet it's gone now) indicates to me that it's probably real. But, who knows? Looked pretty damn real. One thing is for sure at this point...I will never allow our government to send my kids overseas to fight. We'd all fight here, where we can see things with our own eyes...

It will end after we act to stop it.

Two of my friends had COVID. One even got 3 vaccines. Both now have Pyelonephritis and are seriously ill. I'm not an alarmist but this seems strange to me. They are both much younger than I am and seriously ill. It does increase my curiosity.

So when can we expect an end to the ridiculous rulings and ideology? I am damned tired of this. I try to be patient, but my patience is wearing thin.
