It started before February 2022:
"The overthrow of the democratically elected and neutralist President of Ukraine by a U.S. coup in February 2014 and installation by the U.S. of a rabidly anti-Russian regime instead, was done with the ultimate objective of posting U.S. nuclear missiles there against The Kremlin. The war in Ukraine started with that very bloody U.S. coup."
I’ve never heard this before. Thanks I appreciate you giving me a starting point.
Thanks for the zap! Unfortunately US media and the government presents a bias and unbalanced view of things.
No thank you for being the only helpful person in this thread. Everyone else wanted to play monkey in the middle with me and not give me anything to go on.
“Go read for yourself” doesn’t help me get informed and looking for anything on the Internet is hard. Especially when you don’t even know what to look for.
… the rest of y’all? Do better.
Honey, you can literally Google: "John Mearscheimer Russia Ukraine". People *have* pointed you in the right direction. We're trying, but you've gotta try too.
I did and it says here that John Mearscheimer thinks that Ukraine and Russia should share a snickers because “you’re not you when you’re hungry.”
Context is everything and I could go read possibly 100 links and not know what “go google John Mearscheimer Russia Ukraine” means.
I got an answer from someone who didn’t want to play this stupid “you go guess and hopefully figure out what we mean” nonsense game.
Here is also a rebuttal of John Mearsheimer.
Thats not a rebuttal, its a smear piece with very little attention to the contents of his arguments
I don't see any point in spoon feeding people, I gave you a starting point with two solid people to read up on...
The delta between your knowledge and reality is far too large to be addressed by short comments. It's at the level of someone calling bitcoin a scam, to which I only have time to reply "start with saifadeen ammous and good luck".
Couple podcast episodes to get started with:
Got through this. So a lot of this is pro-Kremlin propaganda. It’s thankfully well linked so easier to fact check the claims. Eric Zuesse has ties to Russia Insider so watch out for that.
Misinformation is everywhere so verify everything. But I appreciate you letting me in on what these guys were on about.
