Tell that to the western elitists that deliberately pushed Ukraine into a position to let have Russia no other choice to intervene. The west will never stop waging war. Its in their dna. The US alone is riddled with weapons and violence. And yet its inhabitants are defending it. Pathetic.

In what way did Ukraine and the west threaten Russia? What bad thing do you believe would have happened to Russia if they hadn’t decided to invade and destroy big parts of Ukraine? It’s difficult for me to imagine that they had no other choice.

Its the economic pressure western nations use to bully other countries. They aggressively bought themself into Ukraine by bribing officials and other key persons. Its no secret that companies like Monsanto and others played dirty games and did not care for it citizens at all. Just like now. Or do you believe there any sympathy for Ukrainian citizens from western powers. Of course not. They only see dollars and more dollars. Ultimately the west with its economic expansion greed needs Russia to fall apart so that they can continue to grab what they need.

There's never been any economic sanctions against Russia until they invaded Ukraine. The economy is shitty in Russia because it's a broken country where the oligarchs are stealing all the money.

And yeah sure it's also about money as well, Ukrainians compare the situation in Poland and Romania with the situation in Russia and Belarus. Let's say that all the Russian propaganda in the world means nothing against such a wealth gap.

Ukrainians don't want to stay poor in Russia's influence the same way that the rest of eastern europe didn't as well.

> let have Russia no other choice to intervene.

Could you expand on this? Why did Russia have no choice apart from trying to annex Ukraine?`Because to me it appears like they have all the choice, still, they just don't want to stop trying.

Russia is attacking every neighbors they can and the fault is somehow .... the western elite.

You would think that would be the fault of Putin to turn Russia into a neo-nazi country and annexing neighbours but apparently not.
