Russia agrees with my statement, and Russia’s opinion is all that is relevant to Russia policy.
So even if Ukraine actually did instigate this war, which I firmly hold is total bullshit, it wouldn’t matter according to your logic because Russia was going to do whatever it wanted anyway. On that basis, either countries stand up to Russia at some point or Russia blackmails its way into owning the entire world.
Even if you think that Euromaidan was 100% CIA orchestrated and done directly to turn Ukraine against Russia - obviously not necessary since Ukraine was already favouring Europe, that’s what the entire drama was about - Russia didn’t think it was necessary to even see what the outcome was before deciding that Crimea looked awfully nice and undefended. If you think that Ukraine’s trade arrangements count as the opening move of an actual war, I don’t know what to say to you
It is stupid to wage war on Russia
Russia has lost plenty of wars. It lost WW1. It lost in Afghanistan when it was the much bigger and stronger Soviet Union. Twice. It lost against Japan. It lost the Crimean War. You know there’s more of history than WW2 and Napoleon, right?
And either way, it’s not like Russia left Ukraine with much of a choice, is it? Or are we falling back on round two of “Russia gets to blackmail anyone into anything”?
