And they said we should just accept it on their credibility.

I had the occasion to look this up again, so I thought I should post it for more than the shitlib I got it for (so now it's also for the three of you sorting by new at this hour)

    Remember when Russia then proceeded to invade Ukraine with no justification?

    The proximate justification was several days of escalating artillery fire on Donbas. Whether you approve of that justification or not, it is not "no" justification and it was not a false flag. It also highlights how unnecessary it would be to stage a false flag because Ukraine had been doing that kind of thing for 8 years. Zelensky wasn't about to call off Azov any time soon.

        You stupid ass, that article was published two months after the SMO began and only discusses details of the fighting since then, there is no discussion of Ukraine's escalating bombardment of the Donbas that led up to the attack, or any of Russia's given reasons for attacking with its army. Such as thousands of Donbas civilians slain by Western Ukraine's fascist paramilitaries, which were well documented by Western press and denounced by US politicians from 2014 until Feb 2022.

        Ah, you mean when

        If you're going to post like a neck bearded smuglord you could at least understand what the fuck the discussion is even about. Fuck you, you Nazi sympathizing piece of shit.

                Am I supposed to be offended

                No, you were supposed to reflect on those shitty balls and internalize them as a lesson in personal growth.

            That's OK man, just let the anger out... remember to breathe...

            Calling the Russian invasion of Ukraine a "Special Military Operation" is parroting Putin's propaganda and makes your sympathies evident, and the rest of your statements suspect. Your approach to discussion isn't really supporting the validity of your opinion either.

            Why change the topic and not address their points about the period of history from 2014 till Feb 2022?

            You know, when you don’t know jack about shit, you shut the fuck up until you do know something about it, not smugly lecture others about the topic.

            It’s time for you to shut the fuck up.

        Ukraine's artillery was targeting military positions - Russian artillery - while Russia, he said, was also targeting towns and cities.

        How did towns and cities in Donbas keep getting hit with artillery if Ukraine wasn't targeting them?

        Ah yes, the classic military positions of "towns and villages filled with civilians," mostly those occupied by nongovernmental forces.
