@GolemRising bullsht. Jacques Baud is a former colonel of the General Staff, ex-member of the Swiss strategic intelligence, specialist on Eastern countries. He was trained in the American and British intelligence services. He has served as Policy Chief for United Nations Peace Operations. He states the following in his article "Part One the Road to War" The qualifier “pro-Russian” suggests that Russia was a party to the conflict, which was not the case, and the term “Russian speakers” would have been more honest. Moreover, these referendums were conducted against the advice of Vladimir Putin.
In fact, these Republics were not seeking to separate from Ukraine, but to have a status of autonomy, guaranteeing them the use of the Russian language as an official language–because the first legislative act of the new government resulting from the American-sponsored overthrow of [the democratically-elected] President Yanukovych, was the abolition, on February 23, 2014, of the Kivalov-Kolesnichenko law of 2012 that made Russian an official language in Ukraine.
A bit as if German-speaking ‘putschists’ decided that French and Italian would no longer be official languages in Switzerland.
This decision caused a storm in the Russian-speaking population. The result was fierce repression against the Russian-speaking regions (Odessa, Dnepropetrovsk, Kharkov, Lugansk and Donetsk) which was carried out beginning in February 2014 and led to a militarization of the situation and some horrific massacres of the Russian population (in Odessa and Mariupol, the most notable).
At this stage, too rigid and engrossed in a doctrinaire approach to operations, the Ukrainian general staff subdued the enemy but without managing to actually prevail. The war waged by the autonomists [consisted in].… highly mobile operations conducted with light means. With a more flexible and less doctrinaire approach, the rebels were able to exploit the inertia of Ukrainian forces to repeatedly “trap” them.
In 2014, when I was at NATO, I was responsible for the fight against the proliferation of small arms, and we were trying to detect Russian arms deliveries to the rebels, to see if Moscow was involved.
The information we received then came almost entirely from Polish intelligence services and did not “fit” with the information coming from the OSCE [Organization for Security and Co-operation in Europe]—and despite rather crude allegations, there were no deliveries of weapons and military equipment from Russia.
The rebels were armed thanks to the defection of Russian-speaking Ukrainian units that went over to the rebel side. As Ukrainian failures continued, tank, artillery, and anti-aircraft battalions swelled the ranks of the autonomists. This is what pushed the Ukrainians to commit to the Minsk Agreements.
But just after signing the Minsk 1 Agreements, the Ukrainian President Petro Poroshenko launched a massive “anti-terrorist operation” against the Donbass.
Poorly advised by NATO officers, the Ukrainians suffered a crushing defeat in Debaltsevo, which forced them to engage in the Minsk 2 Agreements.
It is essential to recall here that Minsk 1 (September 2014) and Minsk 2 (February 2015) Agreements did not provide for the separation or independence of the Republics, but their autonomy within the framework of Ukraine.
Those who have read the Agreements (there are very few who actually have) will note that it is written that the status of the Republics was to be negotiated between Kiev and the representatives of the Republics, for an internal solution within Ukraine.
That is why since 2014, Russia has systematically demanded the implementation of the Minsk Agreements while refusing to be a party to the negotiations, because it was an internal matter of Ukraine.

@ihavetowait90daystochangem8 by your logic 10 states in the USA will go back to Mexico, Hawaii back to the rightful owners, Alaska back to Russia, all of the USA back to the American Indians. look at a map of Europe in the 1900's - see how far RU borders reach - point out UA will you. the USA / west has no problem changing borders when it suits them. look at Europes borders before & after WW1 & WW2, who is it that changes European borders? Where's Yugoslavia? can't find it on a map? ask the USA & NATO. NATO that defensive alliance that actively goes to war around the globe. NATO illegally bombed Yugoslavia, USA illegally invaded Iraq even after the UN told the USA they had no justification. why is the USA saying they will next go to war with China over Taiwan? Who has China invaded over the past 40 years? now compare that to the USA wars (Lebanon,Grenada, Libya, Persian Gulf, Panama, Gulf war, Iraq, Somalia, Yugoslavia, Haiti, Serbia, Afghanistan, Yemen, Iraq, Pakistan, Somalia, Libya, Uganda, Niger, Iraq, Syria, Libya again) Don't forget how the USA is illegally in Syria and Libya stealing oil. . Even the US Govt web sites state Taiwan is part of China so why would China invade itself? the USA stated they will destroy Taiwans semiconductor industry - and as we speak the US is building semiconductor factories in the USA. Just as since 2014 US ports were building gas offloading facilities and as soon as they blow up Nord Stream, the US says to EU - never fear, you can now buy gas from us. All part of Americas forever wars - Assange ointed that out thats why the USA wants him to rot in a UK jail. Liz Cheneys net worth $7 million 2017 $44 million 2021 - who says Americas FOREVER WARS don't pay?

payment for damages - just like how the USA paid reparations to Libya, Syria, Iraq, Afghanistan, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam - the list goes on. Vietnam is still suffering from US landmines - what are the USA doing about that? how about how the USA is dropping on average 40 bombs a day, every day for the past 20 years on Yeme, Libya, Afghanistan. Iraq, Syria, the list goes on. Don't see the USA offering anything to rebuild these countries they detroy

@jamesives4375 the USA has dropped on average 40 bombs a day every day for the past 20 years (& drone strikes), on Yemen, Somalia, Syria, Afghanistan, Pakistan, Iraq, Libya, Lebanon, Palestine, the list goes on, and on, and on. During the first 20 years of the war on terror, the U.S. conducted more than 91,000 airstrikes across seven major conflict zones — Afghanistan, Iraq Libya, Pakistan, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen — according to a 2021 analysis by Airwars, a U.K.-based airstrike monitoring group. For a century the American way of war has meant killing civilians. Indiscriminate airstrikes has been a US hallmark from the “banana wars” to the forever wars. you know Americas forever wars where they go from one conflict to the next around the globe all so the US weapons manufacturers get the mega $ billion contracts and they donate $$ millions to congress. Assange pointed that out, that's why they want him to rot in a UK jail. Liz Cheneys net worth went from $7 million in 2017 to $44 million in 2021. All the USA has to offer the world is war, death and destruction. don't hear you complaining that the USA are illegally in Syria and Libya (if you want to know they are stealing oil)

@jamesives4375 White Helmet group have admitted Syria gas attack were fake. georgia - South Ossetia declared themselves independant as is their right for self determination - georgian troops attacked RU Peacekeepers in S Ossetia. Chechnya was against Islamist fighters - you seem to approve of the USA going to war against terrorist. Look at Grozny now - rebuilt by RU, now compare that to Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia, Libya, Yemen, Somalia, Afghanistan, Iraq etc after the USA destroys them - the USA packs up & leaves, leaving the country far worse than before they went to war. Note how terrorists always appear in countries the USA wants to overthrow or use as a means for them to keep their troops in. The US uses terrorists as their excuse to illegally occupy Syria and Libya, yet their military bases amazingly are always where the oil fields are - thats because they are there stealing oil. What happened to the last 2 leaders who tried to sell oil in a currency other than the USD? Hussein and Gaddafi.the USA has no problem using invasions for "democracy" as their excuse - something you clearly approve of. if you believe 9/11 happened as reported by US media then it is hardly worth the effort in trying to have any meaningful conversation with you. the USA going to war with RU and saying they will go to war with China - 2 of the biggest nations involved in BRICS that means global trade will be done in currencies other than the USD, so the US going to war to try to maintain their hegemony. How many wars has RU been involved in since 1991? 5 - on their borders, USA 215, how many wars has China been involved in the past 40 years? ZERO - now compare that to the USA. Israel - maybe you should read the multiple articles on the UN website about this ongoing issues there. If you bother - you will see which country is responsible for taking land through acts of violence in the Golan Heights and the West bank, you'll see which country has ignotred International Law and UN Resolutions since 1947. Which country has killed on average 1 person a day in 2023 (before Oct 7), which country is an Apartheid regime and how the wall they built is illegal. Neslon Mandela - one of the worlds greatest leaders was arrested and jailed for planning acts of terrorism against his apartheid rulers. Oh - Hamas beheading children was a lie seeing as you obviously believe everything reported in western media

@jamesives4375 “Not only are such groups inherently biased and therefore have an interest in falsifying evidence, but also the White Helmets were founded and are funded by, among others, the US and UK – both of which are highly active participants in orchestrating and promoting the war against Assad.” Charles Shoebridge, former British army and counter-terrorism intelligence officer tells Renegade Inc. that as previous OPCW investigations into alleged chlorine use have demonstrated, the evidence Assad’s forces carried out chemical attacks in Syria is not strong. “Ample imagery exists on social media suggesting chemical attacks on civilians have occurred, but in many cases, such imagery has been
demonstrably manipulated – and whether with willing or coerced actors, such footage is relatively easy to stage,” he says
you need to stop watching CNN dude,
