I guess I still have have not gotten the memo on how to program my brain to take on the new position which I am suppose to take.
Based on my old source RT which has now been censored from youtube, I should support Russia because
1. The US backed coup in 2014 overthrew a legally elected government of Ukraine which resulted in the Eastern regions rebelling and Ukraine in a civil war for the past 8 years. I'm trying to remember, was this "legally elected" government the one Putin was backing after Russian spies poisoned President Yushchenko or was it before. Remember that? How his face was all disfigured. Anyway can't be bothered to look but as I recall I don't think a single nation outside the Russian sphere of influence recognized that election as 'legal'... including the citizens of Ukraine given how strongly they are currently fighting for self autonomy at the present moment.
2. Russia enterring the conflict thus putting an end to that civil war. 15000 lives that have been lost in that civil war Again not an expert on the history of Ukraine, but the brute fact that Ukraines are fighting and dying to be outside the Russian sphere of influence speaks pretty darn loudly to me about what the Ukrainian people themselves think about the Russians saving them in 2014 regardless of what you heard on RT. I mean really, why do the Russians always got to build walls to keep their people in?
3. Expansion of NATO into Ukraine which contradicts verbal promises given by the US since the end of the cold war. This war ends that.
Verbal Promises? I don't think that's how this works...
4. Ukraine government led by a small minority of ultra right wingers but holding leadership positions and critical in the overthrow of the Ukrainian government in 2014 must be dealt with. Again... this narrative would be a stronger argument if the Russians were being greeted as liberators.
5. Chemical and biological weapons found inside Ukraine are funded by the USA. New development here which may lead to more expose and investigation to the extend of US involvement in biological and chemical warfare. And this is true because you say so? Hmm...
Now, based on my new source CNN, I should support Ukraine because
1. Russia is a big country with Putin who is a dangerous man. Invading a small country is a no no.
2. Everything Putin does is up to no good.
3.
Invading a small country is a no no? Haha
Listen, here in the real world where treaties are written down my understanding is Ukraine only agreed to give on the nuclear weapons the fall USSR had placed there during the cold war. While I can appreciate the Russian desire return to it's cold war glory... surely we can agree that if there is any hope to denuclearize the world of atomic weapons then now is a time when we must stand up and protect the nations that have de-armed themselves from foreign aggressors. Putin has really gone too far this time and there is really only one way this ends and that's with a free Ukraine. Even if they are a small country.
As you can see, I still have not gotten all the memo in how I am supposed to be brainwashed to be pro Ukraine.
