I think judging by the posts on this instance, a lot of people here didn’t think that Russia would take military action against Ukraine. I was one of those people. Hell, even yesterday I wasn’t expecting to wake up to this. But I think it’s safe to say that that position was incorrect.
I’ve read opinions from communists on both sides now that it’s happened of whether the military action was justified or not, but it seems that few are reflecting on the fact that we were wrong about the prediction that there was not going to be military action. Personally, I’m very surprised that this happened. I’d be curious to hear your thoughts.
I wasn’t expecting it to happen either, but it’s just the chickens coming home to roost. Let me make it clear I absolutely hate Putin, because apparently if you don’t equate him to Satan that makes you a Russian bot, but the people of Donetsk and Luhansk have every right to defend themselves from the fascists that are in the Ukranian government and military and if they need Russia’s help to do so, then so be it.
All of this could have been avoided if the US had minded its own business and Russia and Ukraine had implemented Minsk II.
No it could have been avoided if Ukraine never gave up their nukes.
