Russia invaded Ukraine, not the other way around. Russia was violating international law doing this, invading a peaceful neighbor without provocation, and has since committed numerous war-crimes.
Europe is helping Ukraine defend itself against an authoritarian regime that is committing genocide against Ukraine.
How do you figure that is wrong in any way. How do you in any way tie that to what's going on in Gaza? Do you really believe bullies should just get their right.
Well Europe doesn't believe that, which is also why many European countries are distancing themselves from Israel, and demanding Israel stop their atrocities in Gaza.
The rest of your post is nothing more than a slippery slope argument.
You are not just wrong, your post simply reeks that you are brainwashed by Russian propaganda. And I mean seriously brainwashed, because your arguments are decidedly against the facts to a degree you are not even making sense.
Years versus decades, it is important to know the history and the causes of escalation.
If you would like to learn about non-Western propaganda, check out Professor Jeffrey Sachs. There are also independent journalists that I have shared that lay out the politics and geopolitical events that lead us to this conflict.
In a similar aspect, if you check out the history of Israel-Iran, US-China, and other countries in the Middle East, Latin America, and Africa, you will learn they share a common backing regime and geopolitical goal: the US.
It is no surprise anything critical or contradictory to the Western propaganda narrative gets labeled the boogeyman (bots, trolls, puppets, shills, etc.), similar to the China and Iran escalations.
If you are serious about learning much more, we must always be critical of our own governments' propaganda and be willing, not scared, to learn what is being said of dissenting views and sources.
Thanks for being willing to reply and have a small chat, even if we don't agree on the history and true intentions of the escalations.
Western propaganda does not hide what's going on in Israel, we know whats going on, you try to make it sound like we don't with gaslighting.
The west never attacked the Soviet Union, the Soviet Union dissolved, and several of the former states sought cooperation with the west, which was also offered to Russia.
The Russian federation could have been the most influential and biggest economy in Europe by now, if Putin hadn't chosen to consider us their enemy. Undermining EU and USA and invading former Soviet states.
There is no way you can blame the current situation Russia is in on the west! It's all themselves. The hand was extended but refused.
