Seriously, you’re making a fool out of yourself. Never has Russia’s position been that they will annex all of Ukraine and kill all the Ukrainians to do it. To date, Russia has only ever occupied Ukrainian territory inhabited primarily by ethnic Russians. Crimea and The Donbas. Meanwhile, Ukraine has been killing ethnic Russians in The Donbas for 8 years using first irregulars and then officially sanctioned neo-nazi battalions.

If you had been paying any attention to anyone other than the fucking moronic opeds that get retweeted by NATO astroturfers and their fanboy ghouls, you would understand what the majority of the world population understands about the conflict.

Did you see how quickly and easily South Africa got genocide proceedings started against Israel? Not a single party has done that against Russia. Do you ever bother to ask yourself why that is?

China is Russia’s ally and is also subject to encirclement. You want to look at a map that shows the encirclement of China and Russia by the 600+ US military bases and NATO installments?

The US, through NATO, has been building nuclear first strike capabilities in Europe for decades to try to create the conditions they need to win a nuclear war. In addition, there are very specific strategic bottlenecks, like the Black Sea, that allow for military dominance to translate into economic dominance, which translates into starving millions of people, one of the USA’s favored sanctions strategies.

Also, Russia has been invaded twice across the Ukraine border. First by Napoleon, a Western European bent on dominating Russia and controlling its resources and its people. Then by the Third Reich, bent on enslaving the Slavs and building an apartheid state modeled on the USA.

Russia has legitimate security concerns. We ignore them at our own peril.
