Pop quiz time: Who started the war? Was it
A. Russia?
B. Ukraine?
C. NATO on behalf of the US Empire
Usually if forced to decide who started a war one would go with the side that started in with the shooting.
That would be Ukraine
So all the escalations and violence from NATO that preceded the official start of the war don't count?
If you do a thing that you know is going to lead to war then you're starting the war. And NATO knew its brinkmanship with Ukraine was very likely to force Russia's hand -- analysts across the political spectrum were screaming it for years trying to sound the alarm. The mistake they made was assuming NATO would care to avoid war.
NATO led Ukraine into war, has fed Ukrainians into the abattoir of Russian artillery, sabotaged peace talks, and just generally clearly gives 0 fucks about Ukrainian lives.
So Ukraine
Russia.
Incorrect. The correct answer is C, NATO expansionism, something you should know because a bunch of people have already explained it to you
Remember that time Khrushchev ordered the bay of pigs invasion?
~~Before I go off on you, are you serious or are you doing a bit? I don't want to friendly fire~~
Clearly not a bit. Go fuck yourself.
