@gambrydew2059 No one manipulated Ukraine. Russia attacked it. Did you think that they would just take that?

@gambrydew2059 Like put yourself in Ukraines perspective. Russia's are always talking about their perspective. But have you flipped it. You keep getting invaded by a stronger country. What's the best thing to do if not join an alliance. I know how Russians belittle Ukranian autonomy because they protested. There's protests everywhere. There's protests in the US. They happen. They happen in Russia too. The difference is how Russia deals with them by crushing them.

@georgetaylor8932 Putin did everything he could to make this happen..he literally made every decision to come to this point.

@michaelnancy3173 For Ukranians, it's only about their territory. The fact that Russia is willing to sacrifice them for some proxy political war is inhumane.

@JohnJohn-bz1lq The "West" would have given Russia all the tools for success it wanted. Or at worst left it to its own devices. Putin not knowing how to take advantage of that without becoming a military terrorist is a reflection of his crappy leadership.

@michaelnancy3173 Those people were fine. A lot more fine than with this war. Or the proxy war before it. People from that land tend to dislike what Russians have done now. And in a democratic system like Ukraine's, sooner or later, they would have gotten some representation like they did with the runaway president. And Ukraine has shown a willingness to listen to issues if some law is considered unfair. Minsk fell by all indications because of other parties. And it shouldn't have even been a thing if not for Russia. I think Russia has been trying to interfere and sway for a long time(in Ukraine and the region). It's aggression has risen over that time. Though it was always somewhat high, as shown by other areas.

@georgetaylor8932 He tried to control the politics of Ukraine. He then invaded Ukraine and took Crimea. He planned for instigators to go into Ukraine to destabilize it. Then invaded again to help them.Supplied them with weapons. And soldiers. Now he invaded Ukraine again. These weren't random. These were decisions. Planned. With agents and committees coming up and writing about them. With fake referendums that they knew the outcomes of, and what the real likelihood was. And the "WeSt" is still avoiding escalation. They've avoided it through every action he's taken. I'm not even criticizing. I'm pointing it out. Russia has been handled with kid gloves for a lot of reasons. And a lot of slack. So this narrative of Putin was forced doesn't work. It is BS. And all the carefully plans deniability and propaganda doesn't work. Because it's all so artificial and planned with details and communique. And by agents and former agents that work for Russia.
