Fair enough but that's kind of besides my point. You can say/vote what you want in the west, you'll just be ignored if you are lucky or slandered in the media and harassed by the state if you aren't. Compared to Russia or China the US are the real war mongers. We provoked this war through a series of actions like a propaganda campaign that started against Russia when Putin decided to back Assad against ISIS when we created them to destabilize Syria; not letting Russia join NATO post collapse of the USSR; the overthrow of the previous Ukrainian government; not backing the Minsk accords. Its tragic Ukraine was caught in the middle of all this, but Ukraine being invited to NATO was never the solution, it is a pristine example of US empire building either backfiring, or intentionally being constructed to siphon money to the weapon contractors and politicians.
