I’m old, I was raised in Ukraine when it was part of the USSR, I’ll never see Russia invading Ukraine as acceptable, let alone applaud it. I saw UkrSSR as a sovereign member of the union, as did all the Ukrainians back then, aside from literally a few complete loonies who would also tell you all the communist party leaders are secretly Jews. I hope Ukraine can be sovereign again, subservient neither to Russian nor Western oligarchs, even though that’s not happening any time soon.
Donbass situation was horrible but the Russian invasion was undeniably an escalation, and it achieved many goals of the US, both military and economic. The price was paid by Ukrainians (and economically to some extent Europeans although they might get theirs back from the plunder).
As for the Westerners, to me the ones who don’t want to keep pumping weapons into Ukraine and want a peaceful end to the war, basically what the likes of Chomsky and Corbyn were saying from the start, have the right idea.
Imagine downvoting this.
Imagine downvote brigadeing this.
