Russia's invasions were not unprovoked as many here state. The Mainstream Media repeats that lie at length. Along with 'needing an Enemy' we fail to look at the other sides perspective and continually get ourselves in trouble in other peoples wars. The Soviet Union seeded many of its territories with Russians and promoted Russian speakers. After the break up of the Soviet Union - this was a fact on the ground. Whether we like it or not - nationalist groups in former Soviet republics view these people as expendable and in some cases are actively proposing forced resettlement or actual genocide. This same practice in the former Yugoslavia was called *Ethnic Cleansing*. Is it ok for the Russians to invade Ukraine and kill thousands? Absolutely not, but no one in the international community, Europe, Nato or the US made any attempt to stop the bloodshed in the Donbas. Now they pretend this never happened.
