It's sad how many people buy into Putin's lies/the Kremlin narrative.
Here is what's true:
* Russia has been bullying Ukraine for 2/3rds of a decade now
* As a result, Ukraine has been adopting a pro-Western stance
* Russia gets pissy and invades because it doesn't like the West not telling it not to meddle in Ukranian politics
* Russia signs declaration of war overnight and invades in the morning
Here's what's not true:
* Ukrainian regime is somewhat neo-nazi and geniciding national russians inside its borders
* The current Ukranian president is some Nato/Western puppet
* Ukraine was somehow bullying Russia for 8 years now
* Half of Ukraine is struggling to be its own independent state and Putin, like a Superhero, came in swooping and displaced the neo-nazi fascists trying to stop that from happening
Also:
* There's both Ukrainians and Russians living in Ukraine
* The president is a corrupt piece of shit (like all East European politicians); that's what happens when you put a slavshit in politics
* Ukraine can't win this war
* The entire Eastern Europe hates Russia/russians, not just Ukraine nationalists
