Do Russians (and western Putin supporters for that matter) have an unusually high rate of domestic violence?
It strikes me that this whole spin that Ukraine "provoked" Russia's invasion is basically identical to the stereotypical wife beater's claim that she "provoked" his violence.
And I wouldn't be surprised if people who tend to believe the one tend to believe the other too.
2014 US manufactured coup, was a Ukrainian turning point, that pivoted its solid alliance with USSR/Russia towards its nazi rebelious faction that was given power by US. Link proves those nazi roots are strong still today. Anyone awake should know that US wants this war. There cannot simultaneously be a "vital strategic interest for war to continue" and no provocation for it occurring. Nazis volunteering Ukrainians to die to diminish Russia is too good of an opportunity to risk nuclear war, and western media disinformation seems to make everyone love this.
Even if all that were true^1^, it still doesn't justify Russia's invasion. Russia doesn't own Russian speaking Ukrainians. Russia has neither the duty nor right to invade to "protect" Russian speaking minorities in any country.
^1^ It isn't
NATO decided in 90s that ethnic Albanians were being abused with less overt evidence, and intervened on humanitarian basis. Russia got west to admit to Ukraine nazi problem in Minsk accords. Zelensky campaign platform was based on peace/autonomy in Donbas according to Minsk accords, and on denazifying/stopping the paramilitaries. Russia made every effort for peace. Peace was never an option for US.
lol, I love this silly account. It's just nonsense and really into this denazifying angle! It's almost adorable to watch the Internet Research Agency at work. Do they not even let the workers there read real news? Seems like shooting yourselves in the foot. Unless you're like the obvious decoy so that better versions can run around without spouting nonsense accusations of nazism at Ukraine's Jewish president.
I'll take that as a yes.
