I have looked into events prior to the Russian invasion. <<"I’ve seen people call it “sad” or “unfortunate” that western powers didn’t make basic low-cost, high-yield concessions like guaranteeing no NATO membership for Ukraine and having Kyiv honor the Minsk agreement, but it’s not sad, and it’s not unfortunate. It’s enraging.">> Twelve Thoughts On Ukraine – Caitlin Johnstone I didn't talk about any of this to my brother, if I had said anything (physically in his presence) that might indicate any softness to the Russian position he would have likely shot me. They take that kind of thing seriously in the circles he moves in. However, it appears to me that there was the usual foot dragging "lack of imagination" on Nato's side in sorting out the Minsk agreement. It was bound to piss off the Russians, who, from what I can perceive, made a genuine diplomatic attempt to stop the escalation that resulted in this war. That's all water under the bridge now. I just hope the Russians leave soon. A prolonged occupation like in Iraq or Afghanistan style, would just damage Russian interests imho. The Ukrainians would continue to resist as long as there is any of them around. Here is hoping.
