Did Ukrainians invade themselves then?

Many western experts have explained in great detail how the west provoked the conflict. Go read up on that. Here are a few links to help you get started.

50 prominent foreign policy experts (former senators, military officers, diplomats, etc.) sent an open letter to Clinton outlining their opposition to NATO expansion back in 1997:


George Kennan, arguably America's greatest ever foreign policy strategist, the architect of the U.S. cold war strategy warned that NATO expansion was a "tragic mistake" that ought to ultimately provoke a "bad reaction from Russia" back in 1998.


Jack F. Matlock Jr., US Ambassador to the Soviet Union from 1987-1991, warning in 1997 that NATO expansion was "the most profound strategic blunder, [encouraging] a chain of events that could produce the most serious security threat [...] since the Soviet Union collapsed"


Even Gorbachev warned about this. All these experts were marginalized, silenced, and ignored. Yet, now people are trying to rewrite history and pretend that Russia attacked Ukraine out of the blue and completely unprovoked.

Totally agree. Would be interesting if people are conscious it’s all about small high power sectors interests.

Ah yes, I really missed NAFO viewpoints here.

Isn’t it more a Russian war against Ukraine than a crisis?

[–] [email protected] -1 points 2 years ago

It's a proxy war between US and Russia as the former US ambassador to Finland openly states.
