IDK, I watched Oliver Stone’s Putin and Ukraine series. It’s pretty obvious 2014 was a western coup backed by NGOs, as were all of the so called Color Revolutions. The new anti Russia, pro west illegal government was more Nazi than actual Nazis (see Azoz Battalion).

Crimea voted overwhelmingly to get out and join Russia. Meanwhile, if you think Trump and the DHS were severe in Portland, Poroshanko and his Stephan Banderas memorializing crew of Nazis brought in and used artillery on the Russian speaking Donbass citizens. Oh, and his nazi govt passed a trump like English only law, except his version targeted the russian language.

We must be getting different news. Have you seen the Stone movies? How are you informed on Ukraine? Luckily, he predicted this info vacuum and got his stuff out there long before Feb 22. It is completely impossible to get news on this war these days.
