    What are you saying? The Ukrainian state held a monopoly of violence over the people of the Donbass and used it regularly since the coup in 2014. These people in turn declared independence in order to free themselves from this violence, but the Ukrainian state wouldn’t have it. The only way to counter violent suppression is with violence. These people know this and it’s why they invited Russian military intervention to their cause.

      It wasn’t a coup it was a revolution.

      The Russo-Ukrainian War is an ongoing international conflict between Russia, alongside Russian-backed separatists, and Ukraine, which began in February 2014.

      Are you saying they ::gasp:: used violence during a WAR? ThEy UsEd vIolEnCe DuRIng A wAr?!?

        This is just copium. Whatever you believe, the result was a fascist Ukranian state that supports literal Nazis shelling civilians. What were they supposed to do, vote harder? Oh right, their voting rights were suppressed and their political parties banned from running in elections. At a certain point, when faced with violent suppression, violence become your only option.

        You’re the one who brought up violence. I’m simply trying to present the world to you as it is instead of through the filter of liberal propoganda that you so happily slurp up daily. That boot is so deep down your throat, maybe you should start an only fans.

          It’s copium but it’s also provably wrong; the US came out and admitted they got Porochenko elected.

          but we don’t keep up with geopolitics apparently, while this dude is stuck in the 70s lol 🤓

          Yeah they banned parties that had ties to Russia AFTER THEY WERE INVADED. I brought up violence because you (like an idiot) thought every election should be legit.

          I’d rather drink liberal media than whatever cool ade you’re drinking especially when all I see is people in this thread using talking points that can be debunked with seconds of online searching. Cry more about Ukrainians being Nazis. Maybe that’ll let you ignore Russian humans rights violations even harder.
