    if Putin never invaded, Ukraine wouldn't be trying to join NATO

    This is some strong "stop hitting yourself" energy

      And if ukraine hadn't violated rhe Minsk agreement Russia wouldn't have done that.

      Fun fact did you know there's history before the last 2 years?

        Lol all signatories wiped their asses with minsk 2, while Putin played stupid by pretending he had nothing to do with LPR and DPR.

        Once Putin realized he wasn't going to get his pro-russian dickriders into Ukraine he literally invoked Godwin's Law and invaded Ukraine because "muh nazis".

        I did know. That why I remember the Budapest Memorandum, in which Ukraine's territorial sovereignty was guaranteed by Russia in exchange for their nukes. I wonder why y'all didn't bring that up?

          The Budapest memorandum??? You have got to be kidding me. A 30-year old document written shortly after the collapse of the USSR is somehow worthy of discussion? And it's Russia that should be critiqued for breaching it? Euromaidan was a coup of the Ukrainian government led by far right militias funded by the United States Department, which then installed their own puppet government with their picked stooges. This government then continually shelled another russian-speaking part of Ukraine for 8 years (in spite of other treaties I might add). The Budapest memorandum was already trampled by the United States and then Ukraine itself.

          You got a response to this upthread that you didn't reply to. Maybe address @Egon@hexbear.net before repeating yourself.

        Yeah, because in 2014, half their country was occupied by a foreign invader lol.

        Oh no my neighbor is seeking alliances after I annexed their shit, how conniving of them!

          this was 5 years later. Ukraine wouldnt need an alliance if they didnt consistently violate the Minsk agreements by bombing civilians in the DPR and LPR, giving Russia a reasonable casus belli

            bombing civilians in the DPR and LPR

            Proof?

            giving Russia a reasonable casus belli

            Putin didn't even recognize DPR and LPR until the day before he invaded Ukraine. This is some concentrated revisionist history.

              here is the info abt civilian bombing and here are some other war crimes.

              recognizing the DPR and LPR would seriously escalate tensions between Russia and Ukraine/NATO. Russia did, however, maintain informal relations with them, including providing aid. DPR and LPR invited Russia to liberate them from Ukraine. you have no idea what revisionist means if you think thats what im doing here. Russia absolutely had a justified casus belli

                That's why he did it the day before invading. Putin was hoping his separatists in DPR and LPR could weaken Ukraine without getting his hands dirty. When he saw that wasn't working, he got involved.

                DPR and LPR invited Russia to liberate them from Ukraine.

                Yes, that's kinda what pro-Russian separatists are supposed to do. Next you'll tell me CPC members in Taiwan want one country, two systems.

                Russia absolutely had a justified casus belli

                Sorry I'm still not seeing it

                    Oh boy can you start another dunk thread on this so I can flex my myopic, limited understanding of complex socio-political situations and make another fool of myself?

                      Not a bad idea tbh, you're incredibly uninformed and that's what we thrive on.

                split the difference, three days? He officially recognized LPR and DPR on 21 Feb and invaded Ukraine on 24 Feb

                  Ah, I thought he recognized them, declared their annexation three days later, and invaded three days after that.
