    That’s why the EU and US keep sending Ukraine and “Israel” more weapons. It’s not to defend Ukraine. The EU doesn’t care about Ukrainian lives — in 2014, they supported a far-right coup that saw democratically-elected President Yanukovych ousted, and far-right dictator Porochenko installed. Then, 9 years of civil war in the Donbass followed.

    The fights in the Donbass led to the Minsk I and II accords in the following years, but without success. At every turn, as soon as Ukraine signed the accords, they instantly turned around and broke them. It came out only recently that Germany was sabotaging the accords to provoke a war against Russia and give Ukraine time to “arm itself” (i.e. for NATO to send it weapons). Just last year, Zelensky admitted that he never had any intentions of upholding Minsk II, despite being elected in 2019 on a platform of working towards peace in the Donbass. His platform also included fighting against corruption in Ukraine, while he was named in the Pandora Papers as owning millions in offshore accounts as well as properties in London.

    History began in February of 2022, so I don’t see how any of this is relevant.

    Everything that happened since 2014 in Ukraine was meant to provoke Russia into a war. Russia originally didn’t take the bait — they knew what the EU was attempting. Remember that when Putin was first running for President of the Russian Federation in 1999, Western leaders such as Tony Blair and Clinton were trying to court him and buy him out. He accepted these invitations and played along, and, when he was elected in 2000 to replace the other Western puppet Boris Yeltsin, he instantly turned around and proclaimed a sovereign Russia. He knows how imperialists work, certainly because he worked for the KGB before the overthrow of the Soviet Union and learned some lessons from that time.

    The West will always portray Putin as a cartoon villain, because he put an end to the Western neocolonial plundering of Russia.
