    Yes, unfortunately they did because the Ukrainians broke the Minsk ceasefire 22,000 times in the days leading up to the SMO. 14,000 Ukrainians dead in Donbas before the invasion already. I'm sorry, but this is all incredibly naive. The second the Americans installed a Nazi junta into power in 2014 the war was required and inevitable.

    Russia tried for 8 years to stall and negotiate and get Ukraine to fucking chill and stop the ethnic cleansing but they never did, they kept increasing aggression. They kept breaking ceasefires. The west admits now those ceasefires were purposeful lies to buy time to get more weapons to more nazis. They never had any intention of making peace, it was a project of proxy damage against Russia.

      I disagree with most of your characterization of events.

          Just so happens that your characterization of events is identical to Russia's.

          I wouldn't trust the narrative provided by a capitalist state if they told me it was raining in the middle of a hurricane but I'm just built different I guess.

            A hexbear calling another hexbear a Putin Shill. Never thought I'd see the day. Unfortunately for you,@ProxyTheAwesome@hexbear.net's characterization happens to line up with what has been demonstrated to be actually true. Once again, it turns out that reality has a material bias.

            I wouldn't trust the narrative provided by a capitalist state if they told me it was raining in the middle of a hurricane but I'm just built different I guess.

            That's exactly what you're doing, though. You're trusting the narrative provided by the world hegemon, the very worst of capitalist states. And you're regurgitating that narrative for them. It's pretty gross.

            Yours just so happens to be a lazy one that leftists in the west seem to consistently arrive at after doing zero investigation or research. So we're at an impasse.
