HI. I'm well aware. Who came first, the Ukrainians bombing separatists in the Donbas or the Little Green Men? Doest it matter?
Russia can't have it both ways. It can't say it's invading Ukraine to save the Donbas by attacking a government in Kyiv that doesn't have much to do with it? And what about Mariupol? So even if the "techs" came first, bombing civilians in Donbas, how do you justify people tortured and killed in the North? All the destruction?
Anyway, I don't want to vilify Russians any more than I believe you should vilify Ukrainians. This is a proxy war between Russia and the U.S. and I blame both. (I'm in U.S.).
I hope it ends soon!
