  9.  @gtengineer1967  about "3 Russian invasions": Unfortunately, history is distorted to suit current political aims. Afghan socialist government didn't suit the USA and they decided to support radical islamists who fought against it. Islamist didn't accept secularisation and women rights. Afghan government of Taraki officially asked USSR for military help and it was given after some long hesitation. (Don't forget that at that time Ukraine was part of the USSR and its governor, Mr. Brezhnew, was a Ukrainian himself!) In the western media this operation ( which was not only military but mostly civil: help in establishing the education, health care systems and infrastructure) is called "invasion". The muslim radical movement however grew up (due to the US aid) and incorporated more and more brainwashed peasants. (Similar to Ukraine actually. I just hoped that Ukrainians are smarter. Failed.) In Georgia Russia gave protection to nations (Ossetians and Abkhasians) that were discriminated and annihilated by the dominant nation (Georgians). It's a humanitarian war. Russia felt moral responsibility to protect smaller nations against agression. It has no gains from this war. Again the reasons and aims of this military operation are lied about in the West. The February "invasion" of Ukraine was also out of acute necessity. As a Moscovite I can say that I had many hopes for Ukraine before 2014. I hoped that it will became an example of european democratisation and economic prosperity that Russians would like to follow. That Ukraine show Russia the way. Yet, Ukraine became more and more corrupt, hostile and unreasonable state that was sliding into deeeper and deeper moral and economic abyss. I would say that Ukraine crushed my "perestroika" dream. Probably it was a fullish naive dream.
