The Ukraine, Russian saga has been and is currently being sold to the public from act 3 or chapter 3, not from the beginning, not from act 1 or chapter 1.

Our CIA coup d'etated Ukraine by overthrowing a pro Russian government to an anti-Russian government in 2014 = Act 1.

Ukraine then began shelling and murdering up to 18,000 civilians in Eastern provinces from 2014 because they refused to acknowledge the illegal and criminal CIA coup'd government.

Funny how they never mention this absolute attitude game changer information.

Putin's 2022 highly limited invasion was in response to years of Ukrainian aggression, it was never unprovoked guys.

As always, time always shakes the truth out, give it another 6-8 months, then you'll really need to reassess the whole good guys, bad guys thing.
