NATO is not a defensive alliance. They illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter). We must never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.
Before the nato bombing, Libya had the highest human development index in Africa. Libya had the lowest infant mortality rate, highest GDP per capita and highest life expectancy on the continent. Now the people in Libya are poor, they have limited security and there is a slave trade.
The US instigated many coups in recent history? Too many to count. I will list a few.
1893 Hawaii, 1933 Cuba, 1953 Iran, 1954 Guatemala, 1960-1965 Congo, 1961 The Dominican Republic, 1963 South Vietnam, 1964 Brazil, 1973 Chile, Australia 1975, 1981-90 Nicaragua, Ukraine 2014 etc.
The US has been involved in more than 100 wars and rebellions. Too many to name. Iraq and Afghanistan are the ones I wish to mention, because they are recent and everyone knows about it.
The US has told many lies? I will just name a few. The gulf of Tonkin incident 1964, Remember the Maine - To Hell With Spain! 1898, WMDs Iraq 2003.
America always claims to defend human rights in order to justify its acts of aggression. Their actions are always given a pleasant name in order to encourage public support. “Operation enduring freedom” was the virtuous name given to the unjust invasion of Afghanistan. “Operation Iraqi freedom” was the angelic title for the brutal invasion of Iraq. “Operation unified protector” was the fancy name for the destruction of Libya. The guardians of the universe can do no wrong, since they always fight for “freedom and democracy”.

@commissaryarrick9670 Zelensky had the chance to prevent this conflict through diplomacy. But he lacked the courage and the conviction.
In 2014 there was a coup. Soon after, there was a massacre in Odessa (dozens of people were burned alive). Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed. A civil war broke out due to the rise in ethnic tensions. For 8 years the Ukrainian military was indiscriminately shelling civilians living in Donbas.
If Zelensky honored the Minsk agreement and pledged neutrality, none of this would have happened. The 8 year civil war would have ended and Donbas would have remained part of Ukraine. War is the ultimate failure of diplomacy.
Poroshenko, Merkel, Hollande and Zelensky admitted that Ukraine had no intention to honor the Minsk agreements.
Who didn't want peace? Who advised against the 2022 peace talks in April?
Russia's national security was compromised once nato began to expand eastwards. Russia clearly stated that Ukraine joining nato was a red line (November 2021) and unfortunately this concern was never taken seriously. The Russians openly stated: if nothing changes, we will be forced to act in order to defend our national security. Enhancing the national security of one country at the expense of another is unacceptable. The Russians have legitimate security concerns.
20th September, 2021. Ukraine launched military drills with US and nato.
NATO is not a defensive alliance. Nato illegally bombed Yugoslavia (a direct violation of the U.N. Charter).
We should never forget what they did to Libya, Afghanistan, Iraq etc.
Who blew up the pipeline causing an environmental disaster?
Zelensky banned all opposition and recently arrested a leading priest.
Zelensky also tried to invoke article 5 under false pretenses. Remember the incident in Poland.
With respect to Crimea. The Sevastopol naval base is the main base of the Black sea fleet. Losing this base would be catastrophic for the Russian national security.
Russia annexed Crimea without a single shot being fired because the majority of the populace in Crimea is ethnic Russian. The results of the Crimean status referendum support this fact.
I think it would have been best for Ukraine to give up Crimea. A piece of territory that Khrushchev gifted to Ukraine in 1954 is not worth the destruction we are witnessing today. The Russians don't recognize the legality of the transfer because it did not correspond to the constitution.
War is hell and my heart bleeds for those who have suffered. Praying for the innocent people. 🙏
Compare this situation to the Cuban missile crisis. Similarities: Serious threat to national security.
What caused the Cuban missile crisis? In 1961, the US government put Jupiter nuclear missiles in Italy and Turkey. April 17, 1961 the U.S. attempted to overthrow Castro in Cuba with the Bay of Pigs invasion (resulted in failure). Subsequently the Kennedy administration planned Operation Mongoose (an extensive campaign of terrorist attacks against civilians, and covert operations, carried out by the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency in Cuba).
In July 1962 Soviet premier Nikita Khrushchev reached a secret agreement with Cuban premier Fidel Castro to place Soviet nuclear missiles in Cuba.
The US became alarmed once they found out about the Soviet missiles in Cuba. This event is know as the Cuban missile crisis.
How did the Cuban missile crisis get resolved? Luckily there was a diplomatic resolution and our civilization avoided a potential catastrophe.
Khrushchev issued a public statement that Soviet missiles would be dismantled and removed from Cuba. The efforts of John F. Kennedy and Nikita Khrushchev brought a more peaceful end to the conflict. Soviet missiles out of Cuba and US nuclear missiles out of Italy and Turkey. Kennedy also guaranteed that the US will not invade Cuba.
Current conflict in Ukraine: What caused the conflict? Foreign backed coup in Ukraine (successful 2014). Civil war starts (2014). Attempts to end the civil war fail for 8 years.
Talks about Ukraine joining nato. Ukrainian troops being trained to nato standards. Ukrainian troops receiving nato weapons etc.
Russia watched as nato actively strengthened the Ukrainian military capabilities. This posed a serious threat to the Russian national security.
Zelensky even talked about Ukraine acquiring nuclear weapons.
Ethnic Russians living in Ukraine were treated as subhuman. Their language and culture was being oppressed.
Poroshenko said, “Our children will go to schools and kindergartens—theirs will hide in the basements”.
Russians will never forget the 2014 Odessa massacre. The whole world needs to know about it.
Why was Denis Kireev eliminated? He was a member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations. He wanted to help his country.
Ukraine has a hit list. They target artists, journalists and ordinary citizens. Hundreds of children are on this list.
(13 year old Faina Savenkova was placed on this list.) Pink Floyd's Roger Waters is on this list.
There is evidence that Ukrainian troops have been indiscriminately shelling civilians in Donbas. (they used petal mines and targeted areas where there was no military presence).
The azov troops trapped in the azovstal steelworks in Mariupol used human shields. They refused to allow civilians to leave despite of humanitarian corridors being present. Russia held a proposed cease fire in order for the civilians to leave, but azov would not allow the civilians to leave.
I wish to mention other instances where Ukraine has deliberately targeted civilians. Countless people have been eliminated via acts of terrorism (car bombs and other forms of assassination). Darya Dugina (journalist) and Denis Kireev (member of Ukraine's negotiating team during the peace negotiations) just to name a few.
The terrorist attack on the Kerch bridge killed the truck driver and the individuals in the adjacent car (unsuspecting civilian victims of terrorism).
I have stated a lot of facts and I have given my honest opinion. I encourage everyone to do their own research (don't just take my word for it).

@simonbaynham1350 The majority of Serbs who lived in Kosovo have been forced to leave. According to the 1931 census Serbs made up of 27.31% of the populace.
Currently Serbs make up <8% of the total population. How do you explain this?
It is estimated that some 40,000 to 60,000 Serbs were killed and another 200,000 driven out of Kosovo in a mass-exodus during WWII.
Also, many Serbs have been forced to leave after the nato bombings.
According to Wilson center, it is estimated that 250,000 non-Albanians have fled Kosovo since the NATO bombing ceased (mostly Serbs).
According to Wilson center, approximately two thousand civilians were killed during the NATO airstrikes.
According to the Humanitarian Law Center, 8,661 Kosovo Albanian civilians and 1,797 ethnic Serbs were killed or went missing during the war. It's very sad.
War crimes were committed by both sides.
I'm Serbian and it's very painful for me to talk about this. Mistakes have been made.
The Socialist Autonomous Province of Kosovo received more autonomy within Serbia and Yugoslavia by constitutional reform in 1974. (this was a smart decision)
It's very IMPORTANT to note that the Yugoslav constitution of 1974 granted extensive rights to Albanians living in Kosovo (they had the right to study in Albanian).
1981 a student uprising in Pristina gave rise to demonstrations against Yugoslav authorities. The uprising was surprising to the Serbs because at that time Kosovo had greater autonomy and rights, including Albanian-language schools, under the 1974 revision of the Yugoslav constitution. Albanians wanted more. They wanted the right to secede. They want to create a greater Albania. That demand was unacceptable because they had autonomy at the time. There was no discrimination during those years.
Fifteen years later, on 3 March 1989 a state of emergency was declared. The proposed amendments to the Constitution of Serbia would strip Kosovo of most of its autonomous powers. This prompted violent protests by Kosovo Albanians. I understand their frustration, they had the right to be angry. Removing most of Kosovo's autonomous powers was a big mistake (it led to a rise in ethnic tensions). You see I'm Serbian, but I'm not a hypocrite. I admit mistakes when they are made. My aim is to be objective.
